Begin Your Journey into Bruce Lee's authentic Chinese Kung Fu
A Rare Opportunity into the Insight Held in Secret for Centuries from the Western WorldKung Fu can be translated as "skill developed through hard work" or more simply as "development." Its origins can be traced to well over 6,000 years ago in ancient China. There are many different types of kung fu. These various kung fu styles can look very different from one another.
Bruce Lee's Kung Fu (Wing Chun Gung Fu) stems from the famous Shaolin temple of China. It was then held in secret for centuries by underground Chinese rebels. Only within the last few decades has this knowledge been made available to the non-Chinese. The first person to do this was Bruce Lee.
The appeal of Bruce Lee's Kung Fu approach is due to its simplicity and its depth. Emphasizing direct and efficient body mechanics by controlling an opponent's centerline, our way of kung fu quickly overwhelms an attacker. However, brute strength is not to be relied upon. Correct positioning, feeling, awareness, timing and strategy are used on instead.
A good martial artist does not become tense but ready. Learning to be more aware and in the present. Not thinking yet not dreaming, ready for whatever may come. When there is an opportunity, you do not try to hit, it hits all by itself. Rejecting all restrictions imposed by form and formality and emphasizing simplicity and going with the flow of nature.
Emptiness is the starting point. Only when you are able to empty your mind of expectations and preconcieved notions will you be able to make serious progress. It is then that your developmental journey really begins.
