Chinese Kung Fu
In early time when man became skillful in hunting and warfare, they would change their moves for entertainment. They imitated various animal movements; hence there appeared monkey dance, bird dance and so on. There also appeared the dance with shield and battle, which was a martial dance and demonstrate the early relation between dance and fighting skill. And the soldiers at that time practiced a competitive wrestling-butting with horns, which had been taken as a training method.
During the Han Dynasty, unarmed combat contest became popular. Unarmed combat was a skill which was highly developed by the end of this period. This skill consists of many attack, defense, counter-attack and feints.
In the Han Dynasty, in the feast, many dance performance would be shown in the form of sword dance. During that time, kung fu was developed further. And the element of sport and dance is now becoming more apparent.
Kung fu is a general term that could refer to any of the various Chinese martial arts. Shaolin monks study, organize and systematized Chinese kung fu. Considering the origin of the Chinese kung fu, it is not strange for Shaolin Kung fu to include many animal styles such as Crane, Dragon, Monkey and Snake.
Actually, the West prefer using the term kung fu, which means skill and ability. But in China, Wushu is the favorable word to describe Chinese Martial Arts.
A western Jesuit Missionary named Pere Amoit firstly use the word kung fu. He got a chance to witness exercises and training regimen in China and then he called it "Cong Fou" in his personal journals. The term "Kuo-Shu", popular in China until about 1930, has since been popularized by the Taiwanese Government to refer to Chinese Martial Arts.

Nei Kung (Paperback) $23.07 Explains the science behind the practice of nei kung, the elemental nature of yin and yang energy--the two components of ch`i, and how learning to control the yang energy in our ch`i can result in the release of dynamic energy. • Establishes the existence and understanding of nei kung in the practices of many of the world`s ancient cultures.• Includes a step-by-step guide to the meditation that forms the basis of the practice of nei kung.• By Kosta Danaos, author of The Magus of Java and apprentice to an immortal of the Mo-Pai tradition.In 1994 Kosta Danaos was accepted as a student by John Chang, a Chinese-Javanese Taoist in the Mo-Pai tradition and a master of nei kung, the practice of harnessing and controlling our body`s bioenergy, or ch`i. Nei Kung: The Secret Teachings of the Warrior Sages describes the practice of nei kung and how learning to control our ch`i can result in the release of dynamic energy that can be used for healing, pyrogenesis, telekinesis, levitation, telepathy, and more. Danaos suggests that both components of ch`i--yin and yang energy--are fundamental to the earth and to life and were recognized and used in many of the world`s ancient cultures. Though we have forgotten how to access them, these components are in fact elemental parts of us. The author explains that we first must open our minds to the fact that the power of ch`i is real. Next, in learning to control our ch`i as a whole, we must learn to channel our yang energy in productive ways--a potential we all possess. To help readers understand their capacity to connect with this inner elemental power, the author offers a fascinating blend of teachings that include sound scientific theories explaining much of the "magic" of nei kung. He also offers historical, linguistic, artistic, and literary proof of the presence and understanding of nei kung throu |

Kung Fu Panda $19.99 ">>This animated film features the voice of Jack Black. >> >>With 2008's KUNG FU PANDA, the talking-animal CGI film enters a new era, one that makes room for both painterly artwork and fierce martial-arts action. Po (voiced by Jack Black), a clumsy and ever-hungry panda, is a huge kung fu fan, but seems destined to sell noodles like his father, Mr. Ping (James Hong), who inexplicably happens to be a goose. When Po literally crashes a ceremony involving martial-arts masters Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) and Oogway (Randall Duk Kim) and their pupils, the Furious Five--which includes Tigress (Angelina Jolie, in a surprisingly small part) and Crane (David Cross)--he ends up being selected by the latter elder as the revered Dragon Warrior. As the skeptical Shifu reluctantly trains the hapless Po, his former star pupil, Tai Lung (Ian McShane), escapes from a high-security prison, setting up a collision course between the bumbling bear and the powerful villain. One of the finest animated films released under the Dreamworks banner, KUNG FU PANDA deftly avoids many of the pitfalls of the genre (i.e. cheesy musical sequences), juggling action, heart, and humor in a highly entertaining way. While Black (in endearingly restrained mode), Hoffman, Kim, and McShane voice their characters with verve, the real stars of PANDA are directors Mark Osborne and John Stevenson and their animators, who lovingly depict ornate Chinese chambers and vast mountainous vistas, as well as blazing kung fu battles. A movie with remarkably wide appeal, KUNG FU PANDA delivers on its quirky, high-concept title with gleeful aplomb. >> >>>>Product Details>>Rated: >Format: 5.

Five Ancestor Fist Kung-Fu $14.95 Simple, direct, and deadly - it's the art of ngo cho kun, or fists of the five ancestors. In its approach to iron body training, its reliance on the sam chien stance, and its special emphasis on hard and soft techniques, this Fukien style of kung-fu is believed to be the root of the Goju-ryu and Uechi-ryu Okinawan karate systems. During the declining years of the Ching dynasty, Sijo Chua Giok Beng combined the salient features of five styles from five masters into the formation of ngo cho kun, a distinct blend of both external and internal Chinese martial arts. Aside from being an effective form of self-defense, diligent practice of ngo cho kun can balance the body's metabolism, strengthen internal organs, and improve general well-being. Ngo cho kun is at once historically significant and practical for modern-day self-defense needs. Five Ancestor Fist Kung-Fu is a must for those who are interested in the historical connection between kung-fu and karate, or who wish to expand their self-defense repertoire. |
