The pursuit of physical and mental perfection.
Kung
fu is used to take a chaotic mind and turn it into a flourishing garden of thought.
The physical side of Kung fu is what is
seen on tv, its all people know about it because they are not worthy of its
study until they realise it.
Kung fu comes in many many forms, it is not limited to a style, a style is somthing we make from kung fu.
Just because the
styles available are what is on offer, does not
mean that after you learn discipline in one style you cannot progress and create your own personal style based on what is essentially your most powerful stance, movement pattern, or technique.
Kung fu is misunderstood from its original intentions, purely because many heathens have gotten hold of it and are not following the rules associated with attaining and maintaining balance in thier lives.
Kung fu is not an
excuse to pick fights, thought in this area is needed greatly because it is a fairly gentle
art in most cases and this is misinterpreted.
The reason we are not shown what can be done by most kung fu masters is because of the nature of man and the overwhelming
desire to do battle inherant within 'most' of us.
A dedicated passion for
peace is what is needed to achieve control and perfection of the
art.
Kung fu learner 'x' becomes gripped with what is in the movies.
He quickly loses
control over the
mental aspect through training only the body. this leads to very bad karma.
Kung fu learner 'Y' becomes gentle yet powerful and accurate through the correct path of 'mind first and foremost, body
later' This leads to a very healthy lifestyle.
