The limits of martial arts and combat systems
Even if saying that 90% of martial arts (in terms of self-defense) does not work may appear exaggerated, we must reflect on some important aspects:
Exasperated violence - Most of the ancient combat systems (as well as the modern warfare ones) have been designed to kill the opponents as quickly as possible or, at least, to damage them so much that they are totally incapable of continuing the fight; thinking and acting in this way, in a civil socia...

The first thing to know is that 50% of injuries and damages are caused by a lack of respect. One of the most important teachings that Kung Fu can give...

Rules
All students who want to participate in a live 6 Dragons Kung Fu's course are required to comply with the rules described in this article.

Guan and teaching - The guan (the place of t...

So much money, so many lives
We continue the discussion about how to stop smoking (read How to stop smoking).
According to the World Health Order, cigarettes reap nearly 5 million lives a year (worst than a war). The friend who gives us the first cigarette makes a huge favor to the tobacco production companies, assuring them, in a disinterested and free way, an average income that goes from 70,000 to 230,000 euros.
No matter what our income is, we buy thousands of tickets to the death lot...

Should we use legs in a street fight?
Does it make sense to use a war tank during a field battle (against similar war machines)? Of course, but only if:
We are able to drive it
It is in good conditions
It has ammunition
It has enough fuel
...
In all the other cases the risks become greater than the advantages: for the kicks is the same.
Why is dangerous to abuse of legs in a street fight
Legs are very important, we need them to do vital things like:
Maintain balance (read Kick wi...

Thank you
I dedicate this thanking to the second donor of 6 Dragons Kung Fu, he promised to send me his photo, I will add it to this post as a remembering of his help.
Few people have that kind of courage that makes you able to choose the hard way, the one that the others do not understand, the unexplored one, the one which everyone is scared from... those people are pioneers and their results will be their reward.
Thank you so much, J.K. for your contribution!
A place to give support...

The truth about a video which has "upset" the foundations of Tai Chi from China to the United States
A note by Master Kongling - Initially I was not so much interested in dealing with such a trivial subject but given the number of questions I've received, I decided to make a small effort sharing my (absolutely personal) opinions on it. Probably I am the last who comment this vicissitude but I hope this article could be anyway useful.
Some time ago a video was published showing a fight betwee...

Few people understand what self-defense really is
Since there is a lot of confusion on this subject, it's important to stress some facts:
Martial arts - The primary goal of the study of a martial art is not self-defense, in 90% of cases the reason is to discover ourselves (read Martial art and self-defense: what are the differences?)
Combat sports - The practice of combat sports does not teach anything about self-defense, it teaches how to fight in a competitive but controlled situation (re...

How to minimize the damage of a fall
Continuing the discussion about the basic principles of controlled fallings (read The fundamental concepts of the fallings) we go a step forward to talk about breakfall technique.
Breakfalls are the first fighting techniques that are taught in 99% of martial arts courses, they are specifically created to:
Preserve the integrity of our body during a voluntary / involuntary fall
Position the body to avoid that its most delicate parts risk being damaged...
