SUONG, JIN, QI & YI

Suong your Physical Body .............., before Jin can be issued,

Suong your Energy Body ................, before Qi can flow,

Suong your Mental Body ................, before Yi can manifest,

When Physical Body, Energy Body and Mental Body are Suong, then Yi can direct Qi to issue Jin. Putting aside all the profound theories, traditional dogma and philosophical ambiquity, simply put, but load of work need to be done to achieve them. For the sake of easy basic preliminary understanding it is described as above, but it is more intricate than can be simply explain as they are dependent upon each other, not including the external factors that will influence you yet. Therefore, to at least be able to control what is within you, that is your physical, energy and mental body, start "cultivating"them concurrently, and fine tuning step by step. It is a journey of Cultivation, Reflection and Contemplation.

Suong is something that not until one has experience the soung state, can one describe. The soung we are referring to is the soung in martial sense. Generally, to some people, suong is to be relax. The muscles are relaxed. The tendons are not tensed. The joints are "open". The nerves are "calm". But then there is an element of potential expansion of "hydraulic" power in "standby mode" ready to be released as "Jin". The key to activate it is the "Breath (Qi)" and on higher level, the "Intent (Yi)". Through mindfulness, the power can be released. In fact the mind is not suong, the body cannot be suong. At the same time because of mindfulness, the amplitude of the Jin can be regulated and controlled.

The Sao Lim Wing Chun Lotus Form, the "Sum Pai Faat" ( three prayers to Buddha ) can be performed to achieve the state of "Suong, Jin, Qi & Yi". With the "Pneumatic & Hydraulic" exercises, these complimentary training will be very effective to expedite and empower the process. This training set the foundation for the integration of Body, Mind and Soul of Kung Fu.

Sao Lim Wing Chun Lotus Form and Dap Sao Flow, one of the objective is to help to achieve this preparatroy state of suong, to be manifest Jin by Yi. Besides the martial elements, there is also the health element as one is training the left and right part of the brain neurologically, de-stressing physically and psychologically at the same time. The Dap Sao Flow can be done as a mutual, cooperative exercise as a form of dynamic meditation, a form of introspection, scanning the energy flow and going through different action or movement.

The training will not only develop your mindfulness, enhance your kung fu sensitivity level, but also empower you in many ways in your daily life activities. So what is actually Mindfulness? Let's look into this in the next post.

What is Sao Lim Wing Chun?

Image
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...

Wing Chun in the 2000s of today world

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...

My Wing Chun Journey

My Wing Chun Journey I have been "meddling" with Wing Chun for about twenty years, researching into the origin and different types of Wing Chun. Up till now no neutral, impartial researchers can come up with a conclusive findings. Whenever I met somebody who ask me about my lineage, I actually "frown" inside me, can't help wondering how much the questioner understand about Wing Chun. But it is natural that if anybody is affiliated  with a certain lineage, they will be automatically "loyal" to that lineage, protecting, defending and promoting their vested self-interest. Sometimes people failed to realize the Truth..... and may not want to acknowledge it. There are many unscrupulous martial artists getting affiliated with so called "Grand masters" just to exploit the popularity of Wing Chun. Equally unscrupulous are the so called "Grand masters", appointing their representatives with just a few seminars. These are the dish...
