Day 1: Foundational Strength and Defense

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." — Franklin D. Roosevelt

Master Wong’s Message:
When I was young, fear was my constant companion. Growing up in post-war Vietnam, I faced it daily—on the streets, in the jungle, and even within myself. But I learned that fear isn’t the enemy; it’s a guide. It shows us where we need to grow. Today, as you take the first step in this challenge, remember that fear is a sign you’re moving toward something meaningful. Let’s face it together and grow stronger.

Master Wong’s Insight:
Fear tries to stop you from starting. The first day of any journey is often the hardest, but it’s also the most important. By showing up today, you’ve already begun the transformation. Each movement you learn is a tool to help you take control of your body, mind, and future.

Common Mistakes:

  1. Overthinking: Trying to perfect every move on Day 1 instead of focusing on effort and progress.

  2. Skipping Warm-Ups: Failing to prepare your body can lead to stiffness or injury.
