more on happiness
Topic: intelligent living "We must learn to be happy with what we have and not to live continually awaiting some special gift which we believe will make us happy. One who is not happy with what he has will never reach true happiness. It is necessary to live in the present; the only reality is now; the past and future are never real. Being able to awaken each morning in one's own bed, being able to breathe, to see what happens in each moment, to hear the song of birds, enjoy breakfast, and fully live each small moment; these are the realities."
From "The Secret Science", by John Baines (Dario Salas Sommer)

Have you evolved lately?
Topic: intelligent living I think this applies well to the study of kung fu...
"There are three basic stages to be fulfilled in order to be successful: 1. Motivation The result is evolution. Many times the student reaches the following result: 1. Motivation The result is stimulation of mass energy and there is no evolution.
1. Motivation: poor The result is insignificant evolution. -From "The Stellar Man" by John Baines

Happiness
Mood: energetic Topic: intelligent living "The greatest happiness reigns when the heart is at peace. It is not a matter of killing one's feelings but rather of training them to be conscious and reasonable. It is a question of introducing into the heart the capacity for reason, without losing the freshness and spontaneity of one's feelings."

Chi Sao, It's just a game...
Mood: a-ok Topic: Ving Tsun What is Chi Sao? Essentially it is a game, a game that gives you the ability to deal instinctively with forces applied to your body and also use these forces to create opportunities for striking techniques. Chi - Sao is basically a means to an end, that end being efficient practical combat sensitivity. Unfortunately many people get lost in the game, never moving past it. Many try to become masters of the game. Many try to defeat the game. Few learn the lessons the game is meant to teach and then move on. The Skills developed in chi sao are useful in the initial clash of combat if there is arm to arm contact. 1. You try to hit me and I block or intercept it. 2. I try to hit you and you block or intercept it. 3. In the clutches, you have grabbed one or both of my arms or vice versa As you can see this is a very limited set of scenarios? Your training should not end with chi sao? How do you deal with a long range fighter? How do you deal with someone who has a stick/club? How do you deal with someone who has a knife? How do deal with a gun? (if the person is within arms reach) What if you are knocked to the ground? The Ving Tsun system contains the answers to these questions In some cases, very directly, the answer is given to you. In others the answers may not be part of the standard Ving Tsun canon but using a Ving Tsun way of thinking will get you to the answer. It cant be just an intellectual exercise, you have to experiment, find someone to work with and discover what the system wants you to know. B.
