| Historical Certainty and Martial ArtsPart II.It is a well known, established fact that the above statement is actually a continuation of a tradition of Chinese Martial Arts. It was only at the turn of the 20th centurythat we find public documents making reference to Chinese WuShu in any detail. Previous to this, the documents that exist go back a few hundred years and the MSS are not publicly prepared documents,but of other sort with authorship being an ongoing issue of scholarship to this day. We are fortunate that many brilliant minds are working on such material, but we must also be cautious about accepting scholarly viewpoints that are designed to support the political or social agenda of a few.Read Entire Article |
| | Is Martial Arts the Ultimate Fitness Training? Before the advent of the 90''s, very little was known in the United States, and still knowledge is rare, of the powerful methods known to some in the martial arts community.

|   All I can say is that I am grateful and want to thank my teacher Dr. David Brownridge without whose guidance I would not be here.” Dr. Harkins in acceptance of USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame 2004 membership On the wall of my teacher’s school is a sign that says “We who study the art of kung Fu consider it our responsibility and duty to continue to improve our character, to aid the weak and helpless, and show respect for all mankind.” This is the Kung Fu oath we were required to learn and recite upon command. As most of you already know the “kung fu oath” displayed on the wall of our studio is different in certain ways. We provide the “oath” as both a guideline and an uplifting message. To understand and do. Not just to memorize and recite. We seek to support each person’s individual effort to improve not only the physical aspects but also the mental and spiritual aspects of their training. The “kung fu oath” is a tool that helps a person get where they want to go. Martial arts is not just a method of self-defense. It is also a method of self-cultivation, personal discipline, mental and spiritual development. In a day when the martial arts has become coarse and filled with violent and mean personalities we owe a debt of gratitude to masters who hold the line against such modernism in the martial arts world and who fight to retain the intrinsic value and vast treasure pure and with honor. To do otherwise disgraces the masters of the past to whom we all owe a debt of gratitude and respect. |

Some of these masters were Taoist, some were Buddhist, some were unknown save for their enigmatic lives and presence in far away places, caves, forests, hermitages.Others were skilled mendicants, physicians, monks and so forth, that lived among the populace in their respective places in monasteries, palaces, and others who had ordinary practices but extraordinary skills, and kung fu masters or traditional physicians.

|  Commentaries on the 24 Essentials
Martial Arts has changed a great deal in the last few years. Some of the changes are welcome and it can be said that certain aspects of martial arts training now are superior to some of the ways of ancient times. I am not saying that the new ways are better and the old ways are inferior. Indeed, that is not the case, in my opinion, but that the times are different and society is different and everything today moves at a much faster pace and people generally will not take the time to train the way it was done in the past.
