Dialogue between Samurai and Zen Master

From the 35 Posts, these basically should be able to lay the foundation and understanding of the requirement and preparation of Kung Fu training. Let's wrap up this series with a "Dialogue between Samurai and Zen Master".


Samurai: Master, how does "awareness" affect the realm of a martial artist?

Zen Master: First "aware" your body (movements). When you are practicing, keep watching, be alert, and be aware the generation and change pf power of each movement.

Zen Master: Next, it is the awareness of mind, awareness of thoughts, imagination, mind projection, and other brain activities, feeling the fluctuation of power generated by the mind, and you will be surprised by the existence of the "exhalation power" from the mind.

Zen Master: The next step is to realize the harmony and union of the body and mind, to the cross-fusion of one's mind and everything eternal of the mind.

Zen Master: At this point, your awareness reaches a high density, you will distinguish how the existence of your power works. For example, you will find out how your power is dispersed or condensed. If 100% of your power is divided into 40% of your thoughts, then only 60% of your power is available. On the contrary, if your awareness reaches 99%, then only 1% of the energy is consumed by your thoughts.

Zen Master: Simply put, is the 100% of the energy used for positive energy or negative energy, when the mind moves the body will respond accordingly. that is to say, the more you are aware you are, the more you know where power is available, but the more you think, the more will be scattered and unconsciously hurt your body. 

Samurai: Thank you Master.

What is Sao Lim Wing Chun?

INTRODUCTION: Sao Lim Wing Chun is a synergy of Shaolin Kung Fu and Wing Chun  The foundation training will be from the Shaolin kung Fu philosophy, concentrating on building strength, endurance, stamina and self discipline. This part of the training is from my late Sifu, the famous Shaolin Master “Iron Fist” Chong Beng Joo. He was one of the most prominent disciple of Reverend Sek Koh Sum, the legendary 49th generation of the Chinese Buddhist lineage; the first being the  revered Bodhidharma (Damo). Wing Chun Kuen’s concept and principles will form the basis of the training method for techniques and applications. Wing Chun Kuen trains the awareness and sensitivity of one’s own body movements derived from the soft, relaxed tendon and joints power. It emphasizes on the center line theory, using opponent’s strength than using own brute strength, structural integrity, economy of energy, timing and space.   Weapons training will be part of the curricul...

Important to take note is the tip of the tongue should always touch the upper palate of the mouth during the exercise.

Wing Chun is one of the most popular Kung Fu style in the world today..... Wing Chun's origin was from Southern China, believed to be from the Shaolin temple. Its true origin is still yet to be proven or verified. There are a few versions of its origin, which seem to be probable but still some facts just don't match or tally. The most talked about is the Buddhist nun, Ng Mui witnessing the battle of the Crane and the Snake....... teaching the Art to Yim Wing Chun ......  Through time, Wing Chun has evolved in many ways, but the "visual" core characteristics are still recognizable. Some are very hard and external, some are soft and "internal" and some are mixed with other Kung Fu styles. Under the influences and backgrounds of different masters, diverse styles of Wing Chun were evolved. Not surprisingly more new variations will materialize as time goes by. Today one can see many fractions of Wing Chun, like Yip Man Wing Chun (which is one of the post p...
