In Chinese Kung-fu area.
At now about Chinese Kung-fu knowledge is poor.
Many people they think already understand Chinese Kung-fu.
And then, In fact like
a real scientists get the Nobel prize
honor.
Which in these Scientists deep heart understand
that scientists
area is huge quantities,
that keep unknow area. keep research, continue
discovery........
Who is the technocracy? Where is scientist real purpose?
What's formula?
What's theory? It's just a tool.
The most important is "sprit".
Same carpenter tool in different hands that why
produce two different kinds
of result.
One's we call it carpenter. One's we call it artist.
The different ways is sprits.
What is the set of Chinese chyuan?
What is Boxing? How to learn real Chinese Kung-Fu?
It's something to do with the spirit of Kung-fu.
Without it , the sets of Chinese chyuan are
only postures.
Sparring also become violent force demo.
When young and strong. You hit others. Others heat
you when you are old and
weak.
If so, heat you when you are old and weak.
If so, Our world become one of beasts.
Then, why learn Kung-fu?
It's become to a upright man and to be a dignified man.
We do not bully others even we are young and robust.
Being aged and failing, we can
resist other's offending.
That is the spirit of magnanimity.
It is also the sprit of Chinese
and the basic spirit of Kung-fu.
Many peoples know that Chinese Kung-fu separate two
system.
There is
Southern and Northern system.
Then we separate Shaw-lin, Tarrn-laang(Mantis), Tay-jyi,
Ba-guah
, Wu-dang, Tsai-Lee fo',
Ba-jyi , Ja-chyuan,........etc.
Let's think about the all University major system.
Same like separate literature,
Business, Mathematics, Medical,
Journalism........etc.
Many people learn Chinese Kung-fu.
They forget important thing.
Few thousand years ago, Chinese Kung-fu already is
scholarship. They separate system and factions . Every style ,every ways is
people research
refining.
Not just fighting.
It's seems that every young person doesn't think he would
become
old some day.
Every strong person doesn't think he would get sick in the
future.
But the reality is always the other way around.
Fortunately ,Chinese Kung-fu recognized
this condition a long
time ago.
Kung-fu is a kind of martial art which every one can
practice and
employ
at the age span from 6-80.
Meanwhile ,it is not only a body exercise,
but involves one's
inner part of body.
It much emphasize one's brain using.
You maybe to protest.
Why talking about brain?
We think many people get this
experience that you want learn
Chinese Kung-fu.
Then, go to China military camp register.
From basic practice begging.
Teacher will asking you that what kind of Kung-fu you have
learn?
If the answer is "No".
Then from begging.
Chinese has a proverb "From head
begging practice".
Because, every people believe from begging.
It's mistake Chinese
kung-fu (From head begging practice) really
meaning.
Nevertheless, here we talking head
is thought, not begging.
How
to learn real Chinese Kung-fu ? In the
practicing sphere,
five stages can
be divided: practicing, controlling, leading,
refining, forgetting.
A good learner has go
through those five stages.
Above all, researching and thinking are essential.
That explains
the true meaning of this proverb: "while a
master leads students into the door of
Kung-fu,
it is up to those students to obtain the
achievement."
Practicing: To practice many sets of Chinese chyuan is the
basis of Kung-fu.
A lot of people consider they have learned Kung-fu because having
acquired some sets of
Chinese chyuan. That is why Kung-fu is regarded as impractical.
Why? Because those
people only learned Kung-fu postures.
They didn't make research on them. For instance,
how to practice
more smoothly?
What difference between your action and master's.
To find out questions and correct defects incessantly are must in
this stage.
Controlling: Even you can perform one whole set of Chinese
chyuan,
it is far from
controlling it. Does chyuan guide you? Or otherwise? There is a
great
difference.
It's just like driving a car. The key point is
"smooth".
You must put yourself
in a unconscious condition when practicing
Kung-fu.
However martial-art practicing is
not totally hard working.
One can never taste the magic if he always stays in the
practicing
stage.
Do control Kung-fu, not to be it's slave. How to do it? Making a
research is the
answer.
Try not to have martial action on your mind when practicing.
Leading: The master certainly teaches you basic usage.
But they belong to
the master's, not yours.
By careful examining, everyone has his special mode.
A master's
duty is teaching.
But that's you who do research on every attacking or defending
action.
For example, to meet a frontal attack,
should you use left hand to fend it off or right hand
to counter
attack?
Is there and other why?
Could we change the defending action of left
hand into an
attacking one?
You have to think it over and do a research with the master.
So one fixed martial action has been multiplied.
If so, Kung-fu practicing becomes an
amusement.
You can get hold of it.
Every practicing condition is up to you to decide,
without any
fixed way.
Refining:
practicing Kung-fu again,
you'll find how much time you waste
on every action.
How many unnecessary actions you have? How much strength you
waste?
May be it's only 0.1 second or milligram.
Nevertheless, adding up will lead to
a considerable result.
To think how to reduce one second?
How to save strength which
should not be squandered.
With these thinking steps,
you are sure to give up long Jing
and enter into the stage of
inch Jing, millimeter Jing.
You can free combined any fixed
martial action into different
sections.
Forgetting: could anyone, with several years of driving
experience,
still
remember the basic steps of driving a car?
Certainly not. Because driving a car has finally
become a habit.
It's the same case with Kung-fu.
In the daily life, if you sense any crisis,
you should be able to
avoid it out of natural reaction.
Reacting from sub-consciousness.
How to achieve it?
Using your brain, think what kind of martial action can meet a
special
attacking.
After that, put it into practice again.
Finally, to practice it to the purpose of
forgetting.
You'll find it is as natural as eating, sleeping, walking.
Practicing from the first
martial action to the hundredth action.
Finally, one must wipe out any definite martial
action.
Because one's habit is formed.
In this stage, one's Kung-fu is a real one.
Of
the global exercises,
Kung-fu is the one which needs a learner use his
brain most.
Kung-fu is not an exercise, but a branch of knowledge, a way of
life, for this
reason,
we have not heard any master who practices real Kung-fu contracts
Parkinson's
disease so far.
