Oh Tu! Che desideri sondare gli Arcani della Natura, che se non trovi dentro te stesso quello che cerchi neanche potrai trovarlo fuori. Se Tu ignori le eccellenze della tua propria casa, come pretenderai di trovare altre eccellenze? Dentro te stesso si trova occulto il Tesoro dei Tesori. Oh Uomo! Conosci Te Stesso e conoscerai l'Universo e gli Dei. (Oracolo di Delfi) " Fra due combattenti vince colui che cede" " Un buon guerriero non è bellicoso" " Un buon combattente non è collerico"" Un buon vincitore non dà battaglia" (Lao Tze) Il Mistero è l'esperienza più meravigliosa che possiamo vivere, l'emozione fondamentale che sta alla base della vera Arte e della vera Scienza. Chiunque non la conosca e non sia più capace di meravigliarsi e stupirsi è praticamente morto, e i suoi occhi sono offuscati. (Albert Einstein) Vi sono cose che sai di sapere e cose che sai di non sapere; ma...vi sono anche cose che non sai di sapere e cose che non sai di non sapere... (Osho Rajneesh) Non è necessario correre fuori per vedere meglio…Piuttosto fermati al centro del tuo essere; esplora il tuo cuore e vedrai… (Lao Tze) Quando cesserai di voler riempire la tua coppa di felicità, ed inizierai a riempire quella degli altri, scoprirai con meraviglia, che la tua sarà sempre piena.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION The wuxia film is the oldest genre in the Chinese cinema that has remained popular to the present day. Yet despite its longevity, its history has barely been told until fairly recently, as if there was some force denying that it ever existed. Indeed, the genre was as good as non-existent in China, its country of birth, for some fifty years, being proscribed over that time, while in Hong Kong, where it flowered, it was gen- erally derided by critics and largely neglected by film historians. In recent years, it has garnered a following not only among fans but serious scholars. David Bordwell, Zhang Zhen, David Desser and Leon Hunt have treated the wuxia film with the crit- ical respect that it deserves, addressing it in the contexts of larger studies of Hong Kong cinema (Bordwell), the Chinese cinema (Zhang), or the generic martial arts action film and the genre known as kung fu (Desser and Hunt).1 In China, Chen Mo and Jia Leilei have published specific histories, their books sharing the same title, ‘A History of the Chinese Wuxia Film’ , both issued in 2005.2 This book also offers a specific history of the wuxia film, the first in the English language to do so. It covers the evolution and expansion of the genre from its beginnings in the early Chinese cinema based in Shanghai to its transposition to the film industries in Hong Kong and Taiwan and its eventual shift back to the Mainland in its present phase of development. Subject and Terminology Before beginning this history, it is necessary first to settle the question ofterminology , in the process of which, the characteristics of the genre will also be outlined.

  • Meihuaquan E Shaolinquan, Intrecci Leggendari
    Questo articolo è un estratto del libro “ Il Meihuaquan: una ricerca da Chang Dsu Yao alle origini ” di Storti Enrico e altri Presentazione: Oggi questo testo rimane la testimonianza di un indagine che nuovi studi rendono un po’ datata. In particolare sempre più evidente è anche l’intreccio del Meihuaquan con la religione Buddista oltre che con quella Taoista e con il Confucianesimo. Resta invece mitologico il legame con il Tempio Shaolin ed il relativo pugilato. Rimangono comunque tanti altri interessanti spunti di riflessione. Meihuaquan e Shaolinquan, intrecci leggendari Classica foto sotto l’ingresso del tempio Shaolin Nei libri che parlano di Meihuaquan 梅花拳 emerge chiaramente il legame tra la Boxe del Fiore di Prugno ed il Taoismo ortodosso, sia perché se ne riconduce l’origine al Kunlun Pai 1, una scuola Taoista, sia perché membri importanti del Meihuaquan sono stati anche membri di sette quali Longmen 2 o Quanzhen , ma, cosa 1昆仑派 Scuola Kunlun 2 Han Jianzhong 韩建中, Meihuazhuang Quan ji Meihuazhuang Quan Daibiao Renwu 梅花桩拳及梅花桩拳代表人物 (La Scuola di Pugilato dei Pali del fiore di prugno e le figure rappresentative di questa scuola), articolo apparso nel numero 05 del 2007 della rivista Zhonghua Wushu 中华武术: 梅花桩拳传承的一百个字与道教传承的一百个字基本相同,梅花桩拳理中的天人合一、顺其自然等等,均说明 梅花桩拳与道教文化有着密切的联系,所以梅花桩拳中又流传有僧门道派和龙门道派等众多说法。 più importante, la teoria di questo stile si rifà alla filosofia Taoista. Quali sono allora i collegamenti con lo Shaolin Pai 少林派 (scuola Shaolin) visto che qualcuno fa risalire il Meihuaquan a questa scuola? E’ il Meihuaquan uno stile Shaolin?

  • Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine 2005
    (C) 2005 Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine, reprinted by permission sHan li A story about the longest staying foreigner in Shao Lin since over 500 years On 6th February, 1998, sHan li arrived at the Shao lin temple to study Buddhism, Chinese culture and tradition, and he has done so ever since. He has taken part in many events and demonstrations of the Shao lin Temple, and thus drew a lot of attention in the Chinese media. In 2000, sHan li was chosen by the Shao lin temple to take part in the "liu da men pai", a meeting held in Nanjing between Wudang Mountain, Ermei, Shaolin, Chen jia gou, Tibetan Lamas and kung dong. This meeting was the first of its kind for 800 years and lasted 2 weeks, in which time the attendants performed and exchanged knowledge. On the 9th April 2003, sHan li was personally chosen by his abbot, Shi Yong Xin, to be one of the select 10 people that would perform traditional Shao lin kung Fu to define the true Shao lin art. Professional Martial artists, both fighters and intellectual analysts from all over the world were invited. The meeting lasted for 3days, in which time "chan wu yi" (Zen, Art, Medicine and Kung Fu) was discussed and also the future development of the Shao lin tradition. sHan li has been in Shao lin for 7 years and is as much an intricate part of Shao lin as Shao lin is a part of him. Just imagine yourself, sitting on a couch at the age of 16 and suddenly being captured by a very strong urge to go to China.

  • Southern Mantis System Are Short Range, Based on Inch Force Power That Comes from Tendon Contraction
    Southern Praying Mantis system written by F.Blanco 1.ORIGINS In 1644 AD, the Manchurian tribe had invaded China and defeated the Ming dynasty rulers. Ming loyalist, nobles and soldiers, escaped and went south. As pointed by the Wushu historian Salvatore Canzonieri, many of this rebels relocated in the The Honan Shaolin. The Ching rulers discovered the temple was a focus of resistance and they burned Songshan Shaolin in 1768. After the destruction of the temple many of the Chu family and other nobles and also many Shaolin monks from Honan moved to the South Shaolin temples (Fujian and Jian Shi). The Chu Gar style legend mentions Tang Chan, (his real name was Chu Fook Too or Chu Fook To), who belonged to the Ming Imperial court (1) as one of this rebels that emigrated to the Southern temples. At the Fujian temple (located in the Nine Little Lotus Mountains) the monks and rebels shortened the time it took to master the boxing styles from 10 years to 3 years with the purpose of train quickly the fighters to overthrow the Ching rulers and restore the Ming dynasty. The Chu Gar legend says that Chu Fook Too became abbot in the Fujian temple and changed his name to "Tung Sim" (anguish) due to his deep anguish and hatred for the Ching's reign of terror and suffering. In the style's legend he was the person that developed the Southern Praying Mantis style. The monks (or Chu Fook Too himself) developed kung fu fighting styles that were faster to learn, based on close range fighting, designed to defeat a martial art skilled opponent (Manchu soldiers and Imperial Guard) with fast, powerful chains of attacks that left no time for counter-attacks.

Aside from being well-known entertainers, they all have learned Chinese martial arts and more importantly they all learn from the same Sifu (or martial art teacher) – internationally renowned Shaolin Kung Fu Master Shi Yan Ming of New York. View all 9 photos Master Shi Yan Ming The USA Shaolin Temple The USA Shaolin Temple The Shaolin Temple was first established in Henan, China approximately 1,500 years ago. It is the origin of Chan (or Zen) Buddhism. To protect the temple from the wars and guard against robbery, Shaolin monks were trained as martial artists and called warrior monks. Shi Yan Ming is a 34th generation Shaolin warrior monk. Throughout Chinese history, there have been hundreds if not thousands of martial art styles and forms. Many have their roots in Shaolin Kung Fu. Some people attribute Shaolin Kung Fu as the origin of all Chinese Martial Arts. Master Shi Yan Ming shared a different insight. According to him, martial art is as old as human beings. Prior to the Shaolin Temple, there were multitudes of martial art styles existing in China. Legendary Indian-born monk Bodhidarma (lived in the 5th or 6th century) came to the Shaolin Temple and created a few Kung Fu and Qi nurturing exercises including the most recognized Yi Jin Jing (Tendon Changing) and Bone Marrow Washing Qigong routines to improve the health of long- sitting monks.
