Chinese Fistology is also known as
Chinese Kung Fu. To a lot of people,
Kung Fu means just the fighting
techniques. However, the true form
of Kung Fu contains much more.
In fact, Chinese Kung Fu is an art
form that we can continuously study
and practice. There is a lot of
knowledge and philosophy behind
the concept of Chinese Fistology that
is passed down from one generation
of students to another.
Although Kung Fu can not be "learned"
from a computer or calculator, we
the student utilize our body as a
notebook and our mind as a pen to
retain the "learned" techniques of
Chinese Fistology.
For thousands of years, Chinese
Martial Art teachers "passed"
all of the knowledge and philosophy
they have learned, as well as
any additional skills they have
obtained during their lifetime to
their students. |
The main purpose is to teach the
students how to separate right and
wrong; love and hate; and how to
distinguish between good and bad
habits.
Once a student can separate
the good from the bad, he/she can
work toward retaining the good,
and getting rid of the bad. Kung Fu
is not just a combat skill or even just
a sport. It contains methods to train
and maintain a healthy body.
The most important is that it teaches
us to understand and master our
body. It can also enable us to use it to
help others. In order to form a useful
body, one must start from the
foundation, then build strength and
skill on this foundation.
Training must include internal and
external forces, mental and physical
abilities. That is, to train the whole
body into one unit; mind and body. |
