Shaolin Kung Fu Academy L5 - Shaolin Shaolin

Rev -56, , 21/06/2011 Page - 1 Copywriter, Master Robert1

CongratulationsUpon completion of this level you will have successfully

completed your Primary Kung Fu levels. From Red Sash

onwards you are in the secondary levels, much like High

School. With this also comes a higher degree ofresponsibility (Yang) and accountability (Yin)!

Achieving the Red Sash is a bit like a mini Black Sash. If

you have completed the theory aspect of the KIiT or

Instructor Training Program you can choose to start

teaching Children. You may be assigned to assist an Instructor regularly (if you want). You will

more often than not be asked to be the Instructors demonstration partner. But as mentioned, this all

depends on you and your . . . Attitude.

This second part of your progress to Mastership is very significant. As you have setup a good habit

of training and performance so far (and this will get you through to Black Sash) you need to start

challenging yourself, upping the ante and setting up new and more proactive habits.

From Black Sash onwards, I become more of a Guide and Mentor rather than a Motivator and

Teacher. It is very much like going to a University. You choose the subjects and the path; Liang-I

will supply the support, help and guidance. But you will need to supply the Motivation and Energy!

In other words, will you continue to be a minimalist and just do what is required? Or will you

become proactive and start putting back into the club; only this will prepare you for a successful

path post Black Sash. If Black Sash is all you wish to achieve; youre fine the way you are. If you

wish to become a Shaolin Kung Fu Master, now is a good time to start going above & beyond.

This means that a higher degree of self-training and learning is required from you. It is the

equivalent of reaching your 21st

Birthday and your parents telling you that it is time for you to see

the world. Once you reach Black Sash, to give you perspective but also opportunity, you will be

asked to spend a Journey Year; train other martial arts, possibly even achieve another Black Sash in

another style (which you should be able to do in a year or so as a Liang-I Black Sash). Then when

you come back to Liang-I training, it is no longer as a Junior but as a Brother; training to become a

Master.

Shaolin Temple the LegendOne of the reasons Shaolin is so well know is that is made it into the Cinemas! Would Paris be

more famous than

downtown Hamburg if

US Films would not

have made some many

films about the (Free)

Paris after the war in

the 50s? Would we

know so many US

citys if not for again

all the US films? But

to truly understand

Shaolin, we need to

separate ourselves

from the

interpretations of this

media and look at the

real Shaolin. For this

reason, a little bit of

history; but just the

key points.

Shaolin was built

around 495 CE

(Current Era rather

than referring to a

religion) as a

result of the

actions of a

Buddhist Monk

travelling though China from India. It was again a Indian Buddhist Monk and Prince who visited

Shaolin some 40 years later and instituted the 18 Hand Exercises. He was also the founder of the

Zen or Chien principle of Buddhism.


5/44



Buddhism had come to China officially for the first time during the Han Dynasty (25-220 CE) in the

form of two monks who came back with a Chinese delegation that was sent to India for this very

purpose. Buddhist monks She Moteng and Zhu Falahn came with a White Horse full of Buddhist

Sutras and Buddhist Figures. A temple was built for them to translate the sutras and spread the

word; the White Horse Temple.

There were many ups and down with Buddhism during its 2000 year history in China. Even the

Shaolin Temple did not always adhere to the pure Buddhism infusing it with Daoism and

Confucianism (the three major philosophies of china). Shaolin Temple come to Prominence during

the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907 CE). All of China

had one of its first Golden Eras during the Tang

Dynasty as it was a period of prosperity, cultural

growth and Buddhism.

The Tang Emperor came to power after a very

unruly period towards the end of the Sui

Dynasty. Only three years after coming to power

the Emperors son was captured in a battle by

one of the last remaining Sui Dynasty Generals.

Why the Emperor turned to Shaolin Monks for

help is not know but he did. The monksconsented to help as they were dependant on the

Emperors good will in many ways. In the battle

of Qianglingkou the troops of the Emperor with

the help of 13 Shaolin Monks under the

leadership of Monk Tang Zong were successful

in routing the rebels and saving the Emperors

son. When the Emperors son was crowned a few

years later he was very generous with Shaolin

monks and an era of very close cooperation

started between Shaolin and the Imperial Court.

It was a few decades later Pirate incursions in

Fujian Province threatened stability and


6/44



prosperity in Southern China and the new dynasty needed help. At the Emperor's request, three of

the (now) legendary 13 Shaolin Cudgel fighting monks, Dao Guang, Seng Man and Seng Feng, led

approximately 500 warrior monks south in the early sometime around 650 CE. to engage in battle

against the pirates. They helped the Tang soldiers and the coastal area of Fukien was secure again.

It was a very important are in China at the time. It was a centre of commerce 500 years and more

before Shanghai was more than a village. The Tang Emperor bade the Shaolin to stay and gave them

a Temple in the Village of Putian.

Although there would have possibly been a number of Shaolin Temples, there are three more that

stand out an each of these has a reason for being Shaolin. But you would know this from reading the

Previous Workbooks!

Key events so far for Shaolin were

1. the Building of Shaolin by an Indian BuddhistMonk named Ba Tuo.

2. the introduction of health giving exercises toShaolin by Bodhidharma also called Ta Mo

3. The 13 Cudgel Champions saving the TangEmperors son.

4. The Shaolin 500 establishing order in Fukienand thus gaining the 2

ndtemple.

Around the 9th

century still in the time of the Golden

Era of the Tang, three events came in a very short

succession, the least of this was the inclusion of the

Wudang Temple into the Shaolin Order. As Mt

Wudang came to prominence during the Tang Dynasty

is would be easy to reason that the Tang Emperor would have asked Shaolin to be involved and

given them a temple there..

It was towards the end of the Tang Dynasty when a rich and noble young man gifted in martial art

skills came to Shaolin. He was so good at what he did that the Shaolin Monks cooperated with him


7/44



in revising the 18 Hands Exercises to the 72 Fist Kung Fu. Yet as good as this was Chueh Yuan did

not feel that this was as good as it could be.

Travelling, he came

across an old man being

attacked. He want to the

aid of the old many but

unnecessarily. By the

time he reached him to

help the old man had

downed the attacker

without the use of much

forcesending the

attacker to the ground,

seemingly unconscious by the time Chueh reached them. This maneuver obviously impressed

Chuan enormously and he introduced himself to the senior. Much to his surprise the old man did not

know much of martial arts and what little he knew he had learned from the local master Pai Yu-

feng.

Pai Yu-feng was a friendly 50 year

old and Chuan convinced him to

accompany him back to his temple.

Over the next few years they, using

the 18 fists, the 72 movements and

these 'pressure point techniques'

redeveloped Shaolin Kung Fu into

the 170 exercises. This being a

combination of grappling and

pressure point usage. Although

some credit him with the creation of

the Animal Styles this is not very

likely.


8/44



After the Tang Dynasty came a Short Unruly period which probably contributed to Martial Art

training being more wide spread. During the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279 CE) Civilian

organizations came to being that promoted and taught martial arts. This was a totally novel concept

hereto in the world. Some local masters took on apprentices or a family style was passed from one

generation to the next but having a School of kung fu was new.

Up until now only military organizations, occasional masters and of course Shaolin training martial

arts. Now there were commercial schools that also taught. This lead to the first Golden Era of

Martial Arts in China. Many even introduced the concept of Gradings!

The cat was out of the bag and it did not take long for numerous styles to come into existence. This

may also be a time where the concept of Style may have been founded outside of military

organizations and Shaolin. Again came another period of some unrest. There was some overlapbetween the Liao Dynasty (916 - 1125 CE) and the Western Xia (1038 - 1227 CE) before the Yuan

Dynasty (1279 - 1368 CE) united China again. Martial Art continued to flourish during this Era.

Some organizations or clubs cantered on the use of spear play and cudgel, and they were called

Yinglue Organizations; while others majored in the practice of arching and therefore called Arching

Origination. Performer called Luqi People made a living by performing martial arts all over the

country. Usually the performances were carried out by a one or two people. It was in this time, when

martial arts flourished, that many picked up the concept of Animal Kung Fu!

Although there may have been Kung Fu styles that used Animal Symbolism, non recorded to this

time actually tried to emulate animals! It exploded. Some records suggested that this also happened

in Shaolin with possibly over 100 Animal, Insect, Bird and Reptile styles being recorded. Whilst

some of these did amount to full styles, many were only a small set of movements, possibly with

one or two secret technique that had a twist or some special movement. It was towards the start of

the Ming Dynasty where shaolin systemised all these styles into on Style represented by 5 facets; the

5 Animal Style.


9/44



Techniques that were based on Power and Strength were rolled together into Tiger; Styles that used

the Power of the Mind and Speed were allocated to the Panther; Styles that overcame greater

strength and speed were allocated to the Crane and styles that focused on Control and Knowledge of

the human body were allocated to the Snake. Yet, to complete the system, the Dragon was added to

represent the Development and Defence of the Human Chi. The concept was way ahead of its time

and reject by all except the Shaolin. It did lead to Animal Style combinations and there are some

exceptionally interesting single and two animal styles that came from this era, but nothing ever

achieved the completeness of Shaolin 5 Animal Kung Fu and most, even now days, still do not

understand the magnitude of what was created and how complete it is!


10/44



What we learn from all this?There is no skill without foundation. Even a 2

ndrate martial artist will tell you that for this is not the

issue. The issue is, what is the foundation?? Often, the question is more important than the answer!

So here is the question . . .

If the foundation is so important, what part is the foundation and how deep does it need to be! Is the

foundation Strength, Speed, Stamina, Timing, Targeting, Technique, Flow, Foundation, Knowledge,

Experience, History . . . .what is the foundation to your martial arts?

Well this question you need to answer for yourself for only this way will it be of value as the

journey is more important than an answer. The world is full of answer, just go on the internet and

any question you ask, someone will give you the answer. The question is the key.

What is the most important of all foundations?

I (Sijo) have an answer, took me a while to get there but I now understand what is my most

important foundation. I understand that all my martial art life I have been working on this

foundations . . . and I still am.

Many martial arts have what they consider important. Following

are some examples from the WEB;

MMA - With today's tough competition, one of the key

aspects to becoming a successful mixed martial

arts fighter is impeccable information -

http://www.articlesbase.com/article-

tags/mixed-martial-arts

GMA - Your progress in the martial arts is

generally a result of three things: Training, Instruction, and Natural Attributes. This post is

relevant to the Training aspect, which in my opinion is the most important of the three. -

http://rizsmartialartstraining.blogspot.com/

RMA - Movement and control of balance and space are the key things we practice and we do this

through some highly unusual training methods. -

(mma = Mixed Martial Arts, GMA = General, RMA = Russian . .)

Footwork, rapid hand work, listening to your teacher, know your patterns, apply it in the ring,

tradition, long line of unbroken ancestry . . . .and so on and so on.

When the propaganda and opinions are set aside than most experienced martial artists will agree on

many of the following key skills as being important in martial arts.

Foundation, footwork, balance & posture Hand, eye, foot & movement coordination Flexibility, agility, grace and elegance. Timing, targeting, technique and delivery Breath, core-strength, calm and alertness Focus, self-control, discipline and clarity

Knowledge, skill experience and wisdom

And the list continues into everything a human being might want. But we still do not have an

answer as to what is What is the most important of all foundations in martial arts? I believe that

all this contributes to being a good martial artist but what is the most important?

And there again, we see that asking the right question eliminates a whole lot of marketing and wish

list answers. For, any answers you get come with a price, but do you always understand what the

price is and are you willing to pay for it?

If you find the answer yourself, you will have paid the price for it!

The 7 Senses of FocusIf we are to explore our ability to Focus, let us explore if there is more than one meaning to the

work and which of these we are focusing on. Read through the 7 senses of focus and see what you

think!

Sense 1 the concentration of attention or energy on something; `thefocus of activity

shifted to molecular biology''

concentration, engrossment, absorption - complete attention; intense mental effort

Sense 2 maximum clarity or distinctness of an image rendered by an optical system: in

focus; out offocus

distinctness, sharpness - the quality of being sharp and clear

Sense 3 maximum clarity or distinctness

of an idea; the controversy brought clearly intofocus an important difference of opinion

clarity, lucidity, pellucidity, clearness, limpidity - free from obscurity and easy to

understand; the comprehensibility of clear expression

Sense 4 nidus - a central point or locus of

bacterial growth in an organism; thefocus of infection

point - the precise location of something; a spatially limited location; she walked to a

point where she could survey the whole street

Sense 5 special emphasis attached to

something; the stress was more on accuracy than on speed

emphasis, accent - special importance or significance; the red light gave the central

figure increased emphasis; the room was decorated in shades of grey with distinctive

red accents

Sense 6 focal point - a point of

convergence of light (or other radiation) or a point from which it diverges



Sense 7 a fixed reference point on the concave side of a conic section



So, what do you think?

(source - http://www.notredame.ac.jp)


13/44



In our case we favour the definition in the first Sense;

Sense 1Sense 1Sense 1Sense 1 focus, focusing, focussing, centringfocus, focusing, focussing, centringfocus, focusing, focussing, centringfocus, focusing, focussing, centring

the concentration of attention or energy on something; thefocus of activity shifted to

molecular biology

concentration, engrossment, absorption - complete attention; intense mental effort

From this level onwards you are expected to be focused totally when training. This means that from

the time you walk onto the floor in the Kwoon, no matter which Kwoon (our training area, the

beach, a stage, the kung fu camp or anywhere where you are training kung fu) you need to be totally

focused!

From the time you bow into class to the time you bow out of class, focus entirely on the training,

learning and practice!

Sometimes, often, . . you come to class with things racing around in your mind. This can be very

dangerous at worst or very unproductive for you at best. When entering the Kwoon (any Kwoon)

'stop and take stock' of;

1 Where you are entering, is it safe, the right pace, etc.

2 What baggage you have in your mind that may/will distract you from training;

achieving best results today; and leave it at the door; it takes practice and a bit of time;

so be in class at least 10 minutes earlier).

3 What you wish to achieve today!

(Chinese Characters for focus)

You may find that these three steps help you achieve a greater success in what you wish to achieve;

in business (when meeting a client or vendor), in your private life (partner, parties and other

pleasures) and planning (lose all stray thoughts and focus on what is)!

This is a very good habit or way of working anyway! Anything that is worth doing, is worth doing

well or else you are wasting your time!


14/44



Social Life BalanceThere are three groups of people we constantly interact with on a day to day basis that fulfil our

social needs. Each of these add to our lives in a different way and each requires different types of

human interaction skills. The three different groups of people you normally have very little to do

with each other (for the most). All they have in common is that they are defined by you as the

central figure. Each of these groups require your time and effort to maintain and improve.

Meeting, having a drink, casual encounters at work

can all be summarised as networking. There are even

basic rules for this conduct. Never get personal, stay

on the topic at hand, be clear, concise and

professional. Work colleagues often have specific

Roles that they have to fulfil in their jobs. Often this

is how you get to know them and how we relate to

them. They are the PA, Project Manager, Boss,

assistant, etc. Often these roles also define our

relationship with them and a code of conduct.

Whereas friends are a totally different lot. Often with our friends we dont want professional but

friendly, supportive and personal behaviour. But just like at work, friends often also have specific

functions like ones for going out clubbing, for movies or videoing, long walks at the beach,

shopping, getting sloshed, gaming, etc. Rarely do we have all around friends with which we can do

almost everything but generally we do have at least one.

A Family is not that different. They also have Roles; mothers, fathers, sisters, uncles, cousins,

grand-parents, etc. Yes, the way we behave with our family is different than with the other two

groups and that is as it should be, and that is also the key.

"In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends

are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of

mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in

their weakness, and those in the prime of life they

incite to noble deeds." - Aristotle Beecher


15/44



Each of these groups fulfils a need within us and there is a balance between these three. It seems

that when we neglect any of these groups we can Socially, Spiritually fall out of balance. Just like

money budgeting we need to allocate our time resources to fulfil all of our needs to stay in balance.

We sometimes get into a rut, work too much, have a blue with someone and this balance may get

very upset. All of a sudden we may be feeling that we do not get what we need from our friends,

workmates or family.

We have a spiritual budget, an amount of energy that we can spend and need to spend with and on

other people. It is very much like investing money you have. Smart people diversify their

investments so as not to put all their eggs in one basket. And just like investments return dividends,

our time with friends return spiritual dividends. Depending on the quality of our relationships a bad

day can turn into a good day, a boring evening can be filled with excitement, a bad incident can be

shared and become half as bad, a good experienced can be relived by telling your friends.

These relationships can be very, very powerful. Whats more, they influence your physical, mental

and spiritual health and well being to a much higher degree than you may be aware!

There are however types of people to be wary of. Below is a listing of some that I have identified

and given a suitable title to!

Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness

sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with

sweetness. Speak approving cheering words while their ears

can hear them and while their hearts can be thrilled by them.

--Henry Ward Beecher

"The family is one of nature's masterpieces." -

George Santayana (1863-1952)


16/44



Psychic Vampires seem like very nice people but for some reason, somehow every time you

spend time with them, afterwards you feel spiritually drained. They seem to

suck the life out of you. Unless we are aware of this, we may not notice. Now

any relationship can have this effect on us sometimes but there are some

people who have this effect on us most the time. These are difficult to spot

and notice unless you are looking for them.

Dream Steelers are those who tell us all the things that are impossible, what we cant do, what

cannot be done, what is useless to try. They often mask themselves by saying

they are concerned for your health and well-being. And this works well as

they sound almost exactly like someone who genuinely cares for you. They

try and limit your success. They are or can be very difficult to identify and

distinguish from people who genuinely care for you. If you find someone who

seems to be constantly (well almost) telling you what cant be done, have a

closer look at them.

I, me & my selfs They are the ones who never really laugh at you jokes, listen to your stories

and experiences and almost always have a better joke, story and experience to

tell than you. They often use words like thats nothing compared to . . ., not

as bad as what I experienced and similar.

Otherers Theyre the ones who talk about how good other peoples achievements are

(compared to yours or even theirs), how much better, famous or richer; but

never really tell you how good you are. They dwell on the achievements of

people they have read about, herd about but never say anything good about

you and never really do anything themselves!

"Of all the things which wisdom provides to make us

entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession

of friendship." - Epicurus


17/44



Gunna Doers Monday, tomorrow, later, not right now, will be done for sure, absolutely,

promise . . . are the sounds that these people make and really mean . . except

that it never happens on time, or they way it was expected and agreed or even

just never happens. These are dangerous because they often work in

professions where customers or people rely on them. Watch out for these.

I know besterers are those who have read a lot and translate this into not only knowing (sight

unseen) everything but representing it as (almost) their own experiences and

wisdom. Which in turn, turns you into being wrong and unknowing all the

time.

Missionaries closely related to a few of the above always know whats best for you better

than you do. These are particularly dangerous as they genuinely mean welland think that they are saving you from yourself or whoever else. They

believe that god or the ultimate truth is on their side!

I Promisers These are the people who promise something and never keep it. Oh yes

everybody will occasionally promise something they cannot deliver but these

people make a habit of it; both the promoting and the not delivering!

Yea, buters I agree but; you are right but; I will do it but; yes I stuffed up but . . .

Before we jump the gun, we are and so is everybody a bit of all of those above. At one time or

another we display these characteristics. So do not be too quick to make a decision. Like wild life,

you need to observe over a longer period and make sure that it is not just a phase that someone is

going through. You may wish to even speak to this person about YOUR FEELINGS, explaining

that this is the way you are interpreting their behaviour and that you are not judging them. For what

is friendship when youre not being genuine with each other!

Finally, when all is said and done and we take the sum of our lives, look back at our

accomplishments we often forget that it was our ability to have friends and family that made it all

worth while. For why did we accomplish all that we did if not for other human beings and

ourselves! What are your friends to you, and what are you prepared to do to keep them and improve!


18/44



MEYet, when all is said and done, external needs addressed & all the roles played there is one need that

generally looses out. It is ME time!

We all need ME time; time for ourselves, by ourselves and with

ourselves! This is evident in our daily lives. We need a time to centre

ourselves, be one by ourselves and think only of

ourselves. This can be mistaken for being ego centred

and it is, for a specific time.

There is a drive with in us that we call self-preservation.

This requires of us to take care of ourselves, be healthy, fit

and well. We need to devote 30 minutes a day to just thinking

about ourselves, our needs and sorting out our thoughts,

relationships - lives into a natural (for us) priority!

Consider this; what use are we to our friends, family or work if

we are sick and unwell. Yes we can go to

doctors and naturopaths, etc., and throw

money at them to make us well again.

But this is not the natural flow of things.

This 30 minutes is not spent doing anything else except letting our mind flow, considering all the

hats (roles parent, sibling, worker, boss, martial artist, etc.) that we have and be aware what and

who is important to us.

This allows our three levels of mind to synergise and come to some conclusions. From this we then

decide what is best for us. How much exercise we do, meditation, which food we eat, variety and

simply what we need to do for ourselves to maintain our health, vigour and vitality.

Let us go back to a principle from the first level book, Stop and Take stock; for this is what I am

talking about. Allow me to introduce you to the SLAM DUNK systems of review, planning and

sanity check.


19/44



top and take stock of yourself, your work, life, friends, etc. (whatever you choose). Review

your last year, month, week and day.

ook at the big picture of your life, home, friends and work. (Talk to someone you trust and

can talk to, to help you.)

sk yourselfwho and what is most important to you. (Use the three circle method.) Sit back

and see if it feels right.

ake yourself aware of your immediate and long term needs incorporating family, friends and

work based on who and what is most important to you. Remember to think about yourself and

your ME time.

ecide what needs to be done next.

nderstand why in needs to be done.

ow plan it (when, where, how) in context to all the other things in your life, work, play,

friends, etc.

ommunicate your plan, let people know what you are doing and see if there are any synergies

and DO IT!

There is a bit more to it but this is a good process that helps you put things into perspective. And the

more you do it the better it gets and the more you synergise especially if you look at the big picture

every so often and get perspective!

NeedsTo help with the Life Planning and ME time it is good to understand NEEDS. What is the

difference between Needs & Wants.

Well we need to eat, sleep, breath, develop and survive. OK, but really, what are Needs and where

do they come from and how do they influence our behaviour and outlook on life? Following is one

possible definition, as defined by Abraham Maslow.

Needs are the basic drivers or motivators that enable us to live and develop. For example, would we

eat if our body did not Need the nourishment to survive? How about another 6 to 8 hours more time

per day if we did not Need to sleep! Think of all the money you would save if you did not Need

protection from the weather!

So Needs seem to be the things that we require to survive, well not quite. That's were a gentleman

by the name of Maslow defined needs into 5 levels (there is that 5 again).

Needs are REAL (food, air, love) - Wants are PERCEIVED

Maslow recognised human needs into 5 hierarchal levels. It seems that the requirement of each level

have to be satisfied to a certain degree before we feel up to looking at the next level. Let's have a

look at these levels;

Physiological or Basic NeedsWe need food and water, physical protection from

weather and a place to sleep. These needs have to be

satisfied with almost any living creature as a basic for

survival.

Food - Shelter/Safety - Immediate Needs

Self ActualisationEsteem or RecognitionSocial or AffiliationSafety or SecurityPhysiological or Basic


21/44



Safety or Growth NeedsTogether with the need to be and feel safe and secure, these two basic levels have to be satisfied

before we can even look at the high three! Safety Needs includes that we have enough to eat in the

future, enough clothing to really keep warm and that our shelter will protect us from predators.

We have these basic levels of Need in common with most animals and wild life. Many animals live

in herds to cover their protection and security needs choosing a leader, one who is most able to

protect the herd/group and supply their current and future needs!

Security - Growth - Future

Social or Affiliation Needs

It is evident that the levels run into each other. We seem to

cover the first of our higher needs of social interaction by

satisfying one of our basic needs of protection and living in

groups or herds. It seems that once our basic needs are

meet, we Need to come together with common minded

people. Family and friends come into this category,

although both also help to cover the security aspect

of our Needs.

Family - Friends - Common Interest

Ego or I Needs

You have a home, a place to sleep, enough to eat. You are secure in your surroundings, have a joband friends. You have enough resources to live well and have a bit of spare time. What now?

Maslow believes that you would now work on your prestige, your view of yourself and how others

would see you. You would work on increasing your Mind Power and the influence (face) you have

with your fellow human being.

Power - Prestige - Self View

Esteem or Recognition

This is the ultimate Need, a Need that only begins to dominate

your behaviour once you have satisfied most of the lower order

Needs. This is where artists try to express themselves on canvas,

wood or other. This is where a scientist aims for that

breakthrough, the competitor for the gold medal. Even withthese achievements, the last two Needs, often, will never be

satisfied!

Self Actualisation - Development - Ultimate Goals

Needs SummaryThis Needs hierarchy seems logical but is not proven! It is often used for understanding and

guidance and that is how we use it. Liang-I Shaolin Kung Fu needs to be set up and run in such a

way that you, the student, future Instructors and Masters, can use what you have learned with us to

help you achieve all 5 levels of needs!

Although Liang-I gives you the opportunity to satisfy all your needs and practice all aspects, we

really focus on Self Actualisation; for realising your potential is the path of the Dragon!

Entering the Mouth of P'eng-li LakeHsieh Ling

A traveller tires of nights on the water.

The wind and tides are unpredictable:Around islets they suddenly swerve and rejoin,

And the banks often come crashing down.

By moonlight I hear the mournful gibbons,And dampened by dew, I smell fragrant iris.

At spring's end, the green wilds flourish;Where the cliffs rise highest, white clouds amass.

A thousand memories gather day by night,A myriad of sorrows brim dawn and dusk.

Scaling cliffs, I find my reflection in Stone Mirror,Parting the leaves, I enter Pine Gate.

The stories of the Three Rivers are mostly lost,

The Nine Tributaries exist only in name.

The marvels here begrudge their curious treasures;The Immortals withhold their ethereal souls.

The Essence of Gold has doused its bright light,The Liquid J ade has stopped its radiant flow.

In vain I play the Thousand-Mile Song;

The strings snap and memories multiply.

Renew and ReviewLearning Efficiently (Guide 5)What do we remember and what do we forget? Well we forget

what we forget to remember! You think this is stupid logic? Well

it isnt. Let me explain.

SR Covey lists Renew and Review as one of the 7 Habits of

Highly Successful People. The reasoning for this is that this

habit, skill, task, fulfils two major functions;

YANG It reminds you to remember what you have learned.

YIN It allows you to put what you have learned into the

bigger picture of your life and learning.

In other words, if you recap on what you have learned, you will

remember it better and you have had time to put it into

perspective of your other learnings; this allows you to link to

what you have learned, stop & take stock . . . well in reality this

is a stop and take stock, just with a slightly more specific and

wider focus! In a way, the first part of the circle closes, much

like the first part of your training closes on this level by a total

regrade of everything you have learned before you commence on

the senior levels!

SR Coves 7 HabitsSR Coves 7 HabitsSR Coves 7 HabitsSR Coves 7 Habits

1. Be Pro-active2. First things first (What

Matters Most)

3. Start with the End in mind4. Think Win-Win5. Seek first to understand

before you seek to be

understood

6. Synergise7. Renew and Review8. Enjoy Life

Training Tip:

If you review an item you have learned within the

first 24 hours of learning it you increase your chance

of remembering it by 500%

Level 5 Vital Points, Shoulder & Pelvic PointsIf what you are being attacked with, no longer functions as well as the attacker expects, you have

gained a valuable

psychological, tactical and

physical advantage. You

will most likely be attacked

by either hands or feet and

in this level we focus at the

points from which they

emanate.

Just where your chest

muscles join into your

shoulder joint is a weak

area not protected by

muscles (arrows). Just

under this point is the

Brachial Plexus, which is a nerve complex for the respective arm. It is also the centre for some of

the tendons in your arm. It is also a key point for Chi flow and tendon movement!

A strike to either of these points with a ginger fist, dragon fist, phoenix fist, sword edge or vertical

spear hand could result in a temporary in anything from a total usage of the limb for seconds,

minutes or in extreme cases days to just a loss of strength and pain.

The effect can be seen within a few seconds of application and will, when correctly applied have

limiting results on the use of the limb or joint; which effectively reduces the use of the limb against

you in a defence situation.

The Standard Liang-I Fighting Stance guard is very adequate to protecting the points that we have

covered so far, including these. This is different for the next two points; the pelvic joints.

The hip joint is rarely seen as a vital point and yet it is possibly one of the most unappreciated

points of all!


26/44



As can be seen in the picture below there is a vital point for movement of the legs. Should this be

impacted fairly solidly (not to hard or else it disjoints) it can cause similar effects as previously with

the shoulder joints. The most likely attack would be with a toe kick straight into where the upper leg

bends forward when sitting. Right into that crease by the bladder at about a 20 angle to the

horizontal. A Panther or Dragon fist would also work well as would a hand edge from the side. If a

side kick is positioned correctly, angle and blade, this would cause the most amount of damage.

The standard Liang-I guard protects most of our body and head points, to protect this point we need

to use either the lower block, gate block or leg block; depending on the type of attack.

My preference is the three handed guard (Crane Stance with guard) as it interferes with the attacker

setting you up for a counter attack with a front or side kick or a leap forward attack.

In the next book we look at the elbow and knee joints.

ProgressIt is good to appreciate what we have achieved! From Shaolin 5 Animal Kung Fu point of view

there are initially two major reasons;

1. If we do not appreciate our success, both small and large; we will cease to succeed!2. How we achieve our initial improvements/success is NOT how we continue to achieve

improvements/success. We need to recognise when old habits & methods no longer work!

For this reason it would be a very good idea, once you have received this book, to record the

following details;
