Hello everyone. I haven't been here in a while so I would like to share some of my knowledge of Kung fu with anyone curious about Chinese martial arts or those who wish to practice them. I shall post more when I study a bit more on different forms.
Chinese martial arts are known as Wushu or Kung Fu. The translation means a skill obtained by hard work over a lot of time. Kung Fu branches from 3 main styles. Tai chi(internal), Xing yi(external), and qi gong. Many martial arts are based on religious principles like Buddhism with relaxation. Yin and yang also influenced kung fu. As Satanists we all know those religions are corrupted now. However, in my experiences with kung fu, I noticed that the effects are not distorted at all. After all, distortion is just the truth mixed around. Bits and pieces can be recovered.
Tai chi is commonly referred to as an internal art. That means it is used for spiritual balance along with muscle and joint health. It is represented by Yin. It is passive and not dominant. This can be seen with many traditional kung fu forms. Each style has a set of forms. When practicing martial arts or any style of fighting, you need to learn the stances and basics. It is your foundation. When learning a style of kung fu you will learn the forms. The first form will cover the stance, along with hand and feet positions. They will also teach you what muscle groups to focus on. The first form isn't done with power but with relaxation and technique. It is passive just as Yin. For example A style known as Wing chun(which is based on white crane), the first for is called siu lim tao. The current grandmaster only teaches the first form now as all the health benefits come from it. While doing it I find myself going into a trance state. Relaxation and focus are what is needed. Just like in meditation.
After the first form we will go onto the other forms. These will be more active and will represent the yang side of dominance. Xing yi or xing yi quan is the yang side of the 3 main categories. It is the opposite of tai chi. Xing yi is very direct and more aggressive. The theory is the practitioner should always move forward like an unstoppable force. The steps in xing yi will have the person move forward as they do the hand and feet positions.
Tai chi has a bunch of circular movements as if you're moving a ball of energy. The moves take longer to execute. Xing yi is more to the point and direct. A great example of these principles can be seen in northern and southern styles of kung fu. Northern mantis style has more circular motions and grappling techniques. Southern mantis is more direct and doesn't resemble northern mantis at all.
Qi gong is the third main category and unfortunately I haven't studied much on it but I will tell you all what I know for now. Qi gong doesn't have much of a direct translation. It is a saying. Like " hey that guy can drive a car on a highway without a problem he has a lot of qi gong". It can be seen as skill, ability, or potential. To avoid confusion or giving false information I will not write anything else on qi gong until I receive the proper information.
For those who want to practice but can't see a purpose in doing so:
Kung fu has had a bad reputation recently. Many say it is worthless. I disagree completely. See, kung fu generally speaking are styles created for combat hundreds of years ago. Many techniques do focus on sensative areas like eyes, throat, groin, etc. There seems to be a common theme now of people only wanting to settle physical disputes with only punches to the face, or wrestling. I'm assuming this has been influenced by combat sports. Kung Fu in UFC will simply not work. A huge reason is that it was meant for survival not competition. If i were to take away a boxers jab, or a Bob and weave,that will reduce the weapons that fighter has and increase the chances of that person losing. In kung fu, there is heavy focus on conditioning and muscle memory. If one cannot use their skills to aim at points or targets they train for, it cannot truly be tested. If i were to take away a darting finger, a stomp kick, a elbow strike from wing chun, I cannot call it wing chun any more. The system has been removed even if we have some of the original system there. If Modern Buddhists meditate, can we also call them Spiritual Satanists? Sadly no. Originally it was satanic but the system has changed. Any system removed of its traditional and complete self can fail if not substituted with modified and tested techniques. Kung Fu as it is now is in a tactical state. It hasn't been adapted to sport competitions. That's why it fails in mma. You limit all the weapons and stick with a few techniques. Aside from that kung fu has a spiritual purpose. Styles like boxing don't. That doesn't mean any style is bad. The purpose of this is to show you to keep an open mind and think outside the box. I personally do muay thai, which is a sport version of muay boran. All styles are great in their own way. Any person can be good at any style. It not all about combat or spirituality. Combat styles naturally work on muscles you wouldn't use with regular exercise. It's great for keeping in shape.
Be cautious:
Is it better to be a jack of all trades or master of one? The answer depends on the individual person. Naturally being perfect at one thing will lead to error in another. A wing chun punch is way different than a muay thai jab. A WC punch is straight coming from the solar plexus. A MT jab is faced downwards with emphasis on the trap muscle. For those who find it hard to adapt or find it hard to do 2 styles, I'd suggest sticking with styles that are similar. Like traditional boxing, kick boxing, muay thai, etc. The more similar it is the easier it will be and you'll learn different combos.
Final words:
This post was made originally for the Oriental satanic alliance but I decided to post it here as well since anyone should be able to gain some knowledge. I did not go through any weapon forms which many fighting styles have. When I study a bit more I shall make a post regarding that.
Conclusion:
I hope this has helped my fellow Satanists who were curious about Kung Fu. I am still learning and will try to post some more stuff related to this. With any and all informational posts I have I will give the information first and keep my opinions for the end as I believe the information should be presented first. You are all free to question, comment, criticize, or give feedback in any way.
My experiences:
I personally have done some a style of kung fu since that particular style seemed to resonate with my personality. It focused on little energy, sensative areas, and quick strikes. The theory would be smaller weaker people could take on bigger stronger people. I decided to do muay thai afterwards since muay thai is more aggressive. The attacks are heavier and have more power. Aggression is something I lacked in life but muay thai taught me how to adapt to an agressive situation.
My interpretation:
From my own experience, the yin, yang, and qi gong seem to be representations of astral body, physical body, and energy. Yes the soul is made of energy, however I treat it as a separate entity. There are different types of energy after all. Some we can and can't see. For example I can see fire but can't see kinetic energy. The different forms of energy are what the two bodies command. I can't achieve anything if my astral self doesn't command energy, and I can't command energy if I have no physical self to maintain my astral self. When I do the first form, it is focused on spirituality. I use my body to channel my astral self. I engrave the moves not only in my muscle memory, but in my soul. Memories are of the soul. They are things that never go away. People who advance may notice past life abilities start to manifest. Any skill gained ultimately does have meaning. If I throw a punch, my shoulder and arm move. Energy moves the muscle and the impact is the main manifestation of it. If you punch with the desire to punch you will do it differently that if you don't. My astral energy further drives me to want to practice and gain more skills. It's all connected.
A tribute to my race, the gods, and my satanic brothers & sisters of all races.
