Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ip Man Wing Chun, Understanding Si Lim Tao. Wing Chun Kung Fu is now a famous Chinese Martial Art system used worldwide for self defence and is commonly known for its simple but effective direct lines of attack and defence, as well as attention to detail in all areas, including; fight science; body structure; self development, and good health. Ip Man, through his Wing Chun Kung Fu lineage, is well known today thanks to his most famous student, Bruce Lee, following his rise to fame in the film industry. This full colour book contains a complete guide on the first form Si Lim Tao, Ip Man Wing Chun. Using notes taken directly from seminars and private lessons over a 10 year period both in the U.K. and China, from some of the most senior practitioners alive today, Combining over 200 years' experience on the Si Lim Tao form. It is a complete and detailed reference of the form as a step by step guide, all applications, theory and science are included, bringing a unique and complete detailed picture of both the internal and external benefits of Si Lim Tao practise, all together for students of any lineage to benefit from in one place. A look inside the book, Si Lim Tao, also known as little idea form, overall it means to focus on what you're doing at that time with a calm mind, be in the moment, develop a focus or mindfulness known as Lim Tao (Thinking Head) with the ability to problem solve calmly and logically even when under extreme pressure, like when you are in a fight for example or trying to close a difficult sale or business deal. The little idea, however is the main focus in the form and that is, on using Lim Tao to tap in to the Fascia kinetic system of the human body harnessing its power and to develop the correct elbow engine through that and what that feels like, including developing it, learning to identify it, understanding what your feeling and maintaining that skill as the internal core of the Ip Man Wing Chun System. This is so it can be used to generate structural strength or power generation for attacking as and when needed, using the body for combat in the most efficient way possible. A famous student of Ip Man's, Chu Shong Tin, was known before his passing in 2014 as the King of Si Lim Tao, under his lineage today their main focus is still on the development of Lim Tao to develop the correct Gong Lik. Although they now refer to it as Nim Tao to develop Nim Lik and the form as Si Nim Tao instead of Si Lim Tao. Another famous student to Ip Man was the late Wong Shun Leung who passed in 1997. He was known as the king of talking hands or King of Chi Sau, it's interesting to note that he also pointed out the importance of the correct development and understanding of the first form Si Lim Tao, as have many other well-known greats of the Wing Chun world around this time as a result of Ip Man's teaching methods. Sigong Ip Chun (son of Ip Man) said at a seminar we attended in China in 2012, that "If you get Si Lim Tao right you can get the rest of the forms and the system right too, but if Si Lim Tao is incorrect, nothing will be correct" This is something I still personally think about all the time. In the same seminar I asked Sigong Ip Chun, "If Ip Man was still alive today, what would he want me to preserve from the system in my school the most?" his answer was that he felt it would be the idea of little energy being able to overcome big force and again developing and understanding that which comes from correct Si Lim Tao practice.

Download or read book The Creation of Wing Chun written by Benjamin N. Judkins and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the social history of southern Chinese martial arts and their contemporary importance to local identity and narratives of resistance. Hong Kong's Bruce Lee ushered the Chinese martial arts onto an international stage in the 1970s. Lee's teacher, Ip Man, master of Wing Chun Kung Fu, has recently emerged as a highly visible symbol of southern Chinese identity and pride. Benjamin N. Judkins and Jon Nielson examine the emergence of Wing Chun to reveal how this body of social practices developed and why individuals continue to turn to the martial arts as they navigate the challenges of a rapidly evolving environment. After surveying the development of hand combat traditions in Guangdong Province from roughly the start of the nineteenth century until 1949, the authors turn to Wing Chun, noting its development, the changing social attitudes towards this practice over time, and its ultimate emergence as a global art form.
Download or read book Complete Wing Chun written by Robert Chu and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master the many styles of Wing Chun Kung Fu with this expert martial arts guide. With the fame of Bruce Lee, the conditions in Hong Kong, and the hard work and effort of many of his classmates, the Wing Chun of the late master Yip Man became one of the most well-known and popular Chinese martial arts in the world. Although this gave Wing Chun international recognition, it also led to a lot of misconceptions. Due to a lack of authentic information, many mistakenly came to assume that the renowned Yip Man was the sole inheritor of the style and that his Wing Chun was the lone version of the art. In fact, there are several different and distinct systems of Wing Chun. Unfortunately, over the years most of these systems have remained unseen or unreported to all but a few--until now. Profusely illustrated with over 300 historical photographs, Complete Wing Chun: The Definitive Guide to Wing Chun's History and Traditions presents seldom seen information on a dozen branches of the Wing Chun art. It offers the reader side-by-side comparison of these arts by outlining each system in terms of Wing Chun history, principles, basics, and training methods: Yip Man Wing Chun Yuen Kay-San Wing Chun Kuen Gu Lao Wing Chun Kuen Nanyang Wing Chun Kuen Pan Nam Wing Chun Kuen Pao Fa Lien Wing Chun Kuen Hung Suen Wing Chun Kuen and more!

Download or read book After Confucius written by Paul R. Goldin and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2017-04-01 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Confucius is a collection of eight studies of Chinese philosophy from the time of Confucius to the formation of the empire in the second and third centuries B.C.E. As detailed in a masterful introduction, each essay serves as a concrete example of “thick description”—an approach invented by philosopher Gilbert Ryle—which aims to reveal the logic that informs an observable exchange among members of a community or society. To grasp the significance of such exchanges, it is necessary to investigate the networks of meaning on which they rely. Paul R. Goldin argues that the character of ancient Chinese philosophy can be appreciated only if we recognize the cultural codes underlying the circulation of ideas in that world. Thick description is the best preliminary method to determine how Chinese thinkers conceived of their own enterprise. Who were the ancient Chinese philosophers? What was their intended audience? What were they arguing about? How did they respond to earlier thinkers, and to each other? Why did those in power wish to hear from them, and what did they claim to offer in return for patronage? Goldin addresses these questions as he looks at several topics, including rhetorical conventions of Chinese philosophical literature; the value of recently excavated manuscripts for the interpretation of the more familiar, received literature; and the duty of translators to convey the world of concerns of the original texts. Each of the cases investigated in this wide-ranging volume exemplifies the central conviction behind Goldin’s plea for thick description: We do not do justice to classical Chinese philosophy unless we engage squarely the complex and ancient culture that engendered it.
