New things are easier to try when you are able to perceive the task through the common lens of "Fundamentals". A great teacher will always emphasize the importance of the basics, and it is often said by high level artists that achieving mastery leads to returning to basics. Grasshopper Gospel explores those basics, seeking to build good habits that become the solid foundation for strong, effective, and simple techniques that you can rely on, no matter what discipline or endeavor you apply them to.

"Kung Fu. It means, 'supreme skill from hard work.'

A great poet has reached Kung Fu. The painter, the calligrapher, they can be said to have Kung Fu. Even the cook, the one who sweeps steps, or a masterful servant, can have Kung Fu. Practice. Preparation. Endless repetition. Until your mind is weary, and your bones ache. Until you're too tired to sweat. Too wasted to breathe." - Hundred Eyes, Marco Polo (Netflix)
