Applications can be passed down to the
student, and they can also be self-realized. If students truly want to
learn the wholeness that is the martial arts, they must learn how to
perform practices for the highest purposes, not to just focus on
attacking and defending. Timing of movements developed through
consistent practice and body knowledge are of key importance in learning
the fighting secrets of Kung Fu.
In
order to learn how to fight with Kung Fu, one must master the self
first. When a student has shown discipline to develop proper timing
through steady daily practice, whatever is not obvious to them will
eventually be revealed when they are ready. As Kung Fu is a true war
art, the highest level of applications are deadly and are not to be
taught to a student who has not proven themselves. Self defense for the
street to knock out an opponent or simply to beat them in boxing is
taught first, the ugly aspects of the martial arts are learned only
after long term dedication to the arts.
First, there is the science of Pathology. Pathology is a medical science about how the body breaks down. Disease attacks the weakest parts of the body first. Those who take on the great task of learning how to be a healer have to learn about the illnesses and this study teaches some of the greatest lessons of all. Knowledge of how the the body breaks down is applicable to knowledge of how to break a body down. The doctors who are martial artists have some of the deepest insight into martial applications because they can focus their intention on subtle nuances of the application for deeper internal damage. The study of Kung Fu is the study of life and so those who take the high road and study the medical sciences end up being the most prepared in the long run.
Secondly, kinesiology is studied to know how the body moves with strengths and weaknesses. Knowledge about how the body has natural strengths teaches how to have the most effective forms for practice. Forms that are predicated off of kinesiology ensure power is concentrated where movement is applied and ineffective subtleties are eliminated, minute details are emphasized and the most power that is possible becomes present in the form. This science also teaches a martial artist how to use the body’s natural weaknesses to their advantage against an opponent. A martial artist who also knows the study of applied kinesiology can have the most advantage when they apply it to their practice.
Third, acupuncture knowledge when applied to kung fu has a dramatic effect. Rather than having the intention simply to “do a move”, the intention to strike, touch and rub certain acupuncture points adds a whole new level to combat. The acupuncture system is about healing but with this knowledge one can also use combinations of points to cause the most damage to the opponent externally and internally. Many points are used for pain and compliance but others are used to cause internal reactions that weaken natural strengths, reduce reaction time and even cause a knock out.
When these sciences are studied with the intention of hurting others, less is often realized. When a martial artist is aware of their nescience and is inspired to understand healing, the greatest potential is available.
The human body is limited and so there are likewise a limited number of applications. Mastery is not in just knowing applications, but it’s about knowing counter applications in regard to what to do when an attack is made unto you that is most important. Furthermore, it’s also about knowing counter to counter applications for your own benefit and to defend against a skilled opponent. There are infinite possibilities of combinations yet we don’t strive to understand the unattainable and unnecessary information that will never be realized. Mastery is about understanding what can be realized, to know how to defend in any scenario and how to win in combat unharmed.
Study of the form and understanding about all the possible applications of each move is a good start. Mastery of the body, mind and spirit is the ultimate goal. Speed, flexibility and strength are all important. Technique and the science about how to use applications are enhanced with scientific knowledge of pathology, kinesiology and acupuncture.
The greatest martial artists also learn to heal. The journey is a long one and the focus is on the mind and intellectual ability in order to reach the highest levels. Rather than focus on how to harm others, learn how to heal and your subconscious mind will realize the ability to defend naturally. Learn the forms and be aware of their vast potential. Each move has multiple applications varied based on slight changes and minute variations.
Practice and study diligently and application science will be revealed. It gets to a point where you will notice every possible application, the core applications and their slight variations or branches that come from them. There is a “common final pathway” that becomes apparent where the same move is available to be used from multiple strategies or the “9 alleys.” Mastery comes from the academic review of the art you study. Learn it and internalize every aspect of it and application science will become realized and second nature. Practice makes permanent, learn the correct forms and study diligently. Your rewards for you long hard journey are certain to pay off. Stay on the path, don’t give up and all will be possible. Mastery is available in your lifetime. Mastery is in essence the result of long term continued practice and learning, not the end result because there is always a higher level of attainment true masters continue to strive for. Studying healing can result in enlightenment about your study and make the science of application second nature. Knowledge on how to heal is the greatest application science. Learn how to heal yourself and others and the greatest fortune will be available to you.
