There are two versions of this chain, a lighter one (usually used in wushu exhibitions) and a heavier one used to all effects as a weapon.
It is an extremely dangerous weapon and can be handled only after a long workout with the elastic rope (first free and then with a light weight).
In 6DKF the first thing we learn is its "soft swinging", then we switch to rigid rotations, to stopping, to achieve a static target (without getting hit bounce), a moving target... and gradually we come to the las...

The daily psychophysical effort in 6 Dragons Kung Fu
A note by Master Kongling - Differently from a sports competition (where we, for example, we could choose to alternate day by day the maximum effort of each body element), our workout should never make us totally or partially unable to express an at least basic combat performance (read How to always be ready to fight). Our training can be adapted to sports preparation but it borns for (potentially) more demanding goals (read The 6 types of ma...

The movement on an incredibly different field
As we said in the past lessons of this chapter (read Lesson 11.1), the ground is a totally different battlefield if compared to a normal standing situation:
The striking naturally exists but its dynamics are not the same (muscle chains, relation with gravity, inertia, etc.)
Things like timing, speed and reflexes are always important but in a different dimension (eg. explosive hit-and-move-back moves are almost absent)
The weight of the shift is n...

What is the main purpose of Yoga?
The goals of Yoga have a lot in common with some of the Kung Fu's ones:
Body harmony - Flexibility, health, wellness, etc.
Mental harmony - Centeredness, detachment, etc.
Note - This article has been asked by one of our Core Course practitioners on Patreon (see how to attend our home study classes here Learn Kung Fu online: a beginner-to-expert course).

An epic movie but? were ninjas really like that?
What today we call "ninja" is something that is very different from the historiographic truth.
Note - This article has been asked by one of our Core Course practitioners on Patreon (see how to attend our home study classes here Learn Kung Fu online: a beginner-to-expert course).
The real Japanese feudal ninja (or better, "shinobi" 忍者), was:
A spy or a mercenary (not forcibly a killer, not forcibly an athlete nor an expert in comb...
