Next week, we will take a closer look at some elder law issues that often preoccupy clients, particularly those who are entering their elder years. These issues touch on topics such as living trusts, wills, estate planning basics and powers of attorney. That said, it will be fascinating to study the connection between Wing Tsun Kung Fu and elder law.
The Wing Tsun Kung Fu School in Giza looks specifically at this issue with its first entry on its blog, which you can view at: this link. As the article notes, there’s harmony between learning a discipline and dealing with the disciplines of family law that can arise in elder years. With relationships that have formed over decades coming to an end, disputes that were once simple become rather complex. That is to say, some people would like to think that estate planning is a one-time deal, but it’s not – it is a matter of forward-thinking just as martial arts are about preparedness for the future. The Egyptian Wing Tsun School also believes that elder lawyers should learn the discipline. “Improved posture, fitness, agility, coordination, and lung capacity are all examples of how practicing Wing Tsun will help you if you work in the elder law field,” it said. More importantly, it gave some examples of what a martial artist could face. “To demonstrate this point, consider the following scenarios; Will you be able to fight off your attacker if the spouse becomes aggressive? Will you be able to fight off your attacker if you find yourself in the wrong neighborhood? Will you have the focus to win that lawsuit to prevent someone from taking your land?” It is attitude and a keen sense of balance that can help you to overcome elder law issues in the larger context of martial arts. Balance in Kung Fu moves resembles the need to balance different components of the case and the situation – do what is reasonable or appropriate, no more, no less.
Take a look at this link of an overview of problems that people who arrange elder law issues may face: https://holidayproject.info/navigating-elder-law-concerns-an-overview/. Wing Tsun Kung Fu is very tough, so it pays to have the body trained and conditioned, but it also pays to have the mind and spirit trained. “Remember, age brings with it certain conditions that cause us to move slower, but a Kung Fu practitioner learns how to deal with these conditions as we grow older,” notes the Egyptian Wing Tsun School. “That is why studying Wing Tsun helps you to deal with the elder law issues in your life as we age.”
