What is Traditional Shaolin Kung Fu?
There are many Kung Fu training centres around, But most don’t teach he Traditional way since:
Most Instructors and Teachers I feel, have not been trained that way, especially by a highly trained Sifu with a background of the Sifu that stems back to Chinese origines.
Why is is so important? Its an essential training, since the Art is taught in a wholistic form, so a student is trained in the art of Mind and body fusion that bring about better: Control, Focus, Concentration, Will power, That produce pure Energy, Speed and Power. Plus once such is integrating with owers and skills of Animals & Elements, form a very Powerful Force of Self Defence and boost Confident for a Monk/Student
Its been obvious that Karate, Taekwondo, jujitsu, MMA, Boxing and the like, are striving and thats where the money is for martial arts businesses. Its quick, effective in some ways and less effort required from the Beginners to the Intermediate levels of training.
Also, Traditional Kung Fu, has been modified by many novice, Non Professional and Professional martial artists, to suit the need at hand, for financial viability, especially since there is no regulation to monitor the methods and outcomes of such modified current systems of Kung Fu.
Traditional Kung Fu is Rigorous, Challenging- Mentally and Physically, with philosophical knowledge for every move, that encompass Nature’s Energy and Force in the utilisation of Animals unique skills of defence and the Elements powers.
Such training methods allowed the Monks of the temples to develop better: Focus, Concentration, Control and Mind/Will Powers, to have the abilities to Defend what was precious to them, Self, Temples, Provinces and country of China. This type of Kung Fu, is hundreds of years ago and it evolved and became very effective and efficient, helps survival in many forms. So the Chinese monks in the North and Southern Temples had devised a few training system to suit their environment and needs, with Spiritually enriched training and in the Buddhist faith.
Therefore some advanced monks, went further and integrated some of the Animal and Element techniques that produced many styles of kung fu. Too many to name. Such main Styles like in the:- Northern Regions of China had: Tai chi, Bagua Zhang, Xingyi Quan, Chen :- Southern regions of China had: Hung Gar, Wing Tsun, Choi Li Fut, Praying Mantis
All Such different styles of Kung Fu, were kept secret, since each style, was specific to particular regions of China. The Security and Protection of each region depended on it. Such Kung Fu Styles were only passed on to family and sect members in that region. Occasionally to select few that were known to be righteous, good hearted and religious. It was a privilege to be taught the art of Wu Shu – Kung Fu by a master.
Note – In the 1800,s the Emperor of Chinese had taught our Hung Gar Art Style, to his Imperial arm. That’s something!
Since the 1900′s, Kung Fu started to spread outside China bringing: Incomplete, Inaccurate and Bastardised systems of kung fu emerged, with fancy names and applications. To the naive masses that don’t know about Kung Fu, seemed the the real deal. At least when Bruce Lee came on the seen, he introduced the power of Kung Fu to the world Yet noticed its shortcoming and modified it as such to develop his style
Our Traditional Kung Fu Art System “Hung Gar” had come from Southern China, Devised initially by a Powerful Abbot of shaolin (shi Sim Sin See) encompassing The 5-Animals & 5-Element techniques skills and movements to produce strong bodies and effective Self Defence skills for monks.

Things to Contemplate on : We need to realise that this life we each have, in this life time, is for becoming the best that we can be and do the best that we can do to others, in our own surrounding world. Each come in a different type of Body shape, Skin colour, culture, country and backgrounds. We do injustice and undermine ourselves, when we get caught up in frivolous acts and behaviours when we each push our: Passions, Ego, Wealth, Greed or indulgence to dangerous levels. Such acts always lead to problems and pains along the way. Though we are each able to do that, we don’t have to do that.
Most of our time needs to be devoted to the improvement of Ourselves from within. This is the great challenge and needs one’s dedication and time, because within that realm, True and lasting: Peace, Joy, Excitement and real purpose do exist.
