How Martial Arts Helps Learning

When correcting learning problems, the one sure method to coordinating information between the left and right hemispheres of the brain is to have the student cross the vertical midline of the body with physical exercises. Often the left and right hemispheres do not communicate with each other properly. Or, the right brain dominant student might have a difficult time accessing the left brain hemisphere skills, such as words and phonics, speech, numbers and math, reasoning, linear thought, conscious control, and analysis.

A. Explanation of Titles

It's easiest to understand the meaning of these terms if you think of them in terms of a family. The Da' Shifu being the grandfather. The Shun Shifu being the eldest son of the grandfather. The Shifu's being the other sons of the grandfather. The brown belt is given the title Shi Bok because he would have a family responsibility but not a direct responsibility of raising the children (students). Like an uncle would. Shi Hing would also have a responsibility to the family but a lesser responsibility than the Shi Bok. Shi Hing is like an older cousin.
