The duration - In 90% of the cases, an exercise lasts 5 minutes for the beginners and 10 minutes for the intermediates (after the second phase of study, read [restrict]The basics of 6 Dragons Kung Fu[/restrict]); the special practices (skill acqu...

Without balance, there is no Kung Fu
A note by Master Kongling - This is only an introduction to the notions related to rooting, in the next chapters of this course we will deepen the topic (trough concepts and principles from Tai Chi and other styles, that for now, are too complicated).
In Kung Fu terms, when we talk about "rooting" (read Kung Fu rooting: the pyramid concept), we refer to the combat capability to remain stable and active in the (static or mobile) stance we are adopting.
No m...

The meaning of the belt
Let's start with a few but important premises:
A belt is only a belt - The first thing to say is that a belt is only a belt and do not change anything (read When a belt becomes a blindfold)
The value of the exams - What really has value is the necessary discipline, preparation and concentration behind the successful overcome of a serious examination (read Kung Fu exams: online graduation)
Our exams are not easy - Online or not, video or not, we ask the same level of q...

The self-defense scenario
In this article, I will describe a personal defense situation that happened to me (Kongling) in front of a KTV (a Karaoke club). As I have done previously (read for example Self-defense: brawl in front of a grocery store), I will not go into too much detail (in order to protect the privacy of the involved people).
A note by Master Kongling - Writing about this "adventure" (even after so much time), I notice 2 things: the first is that I am not able to correctly descri...

What is the structure of a perfect training session?
The development of each single Kung Fu skill that makes the perfect practitioner requires, on average, 5 minutes a day. The problem is that the number of the basic, advanced and special capabilities is high and each of them require a constant practice:
To be developed (the longest path)
To be maintained (Kung Fu de-evolve if it is not fed)
To be evolved (there is no limit to improvement)
It is for this reason that we ask our students to...

What is gong bu?
In Kung Fu there are several versions of the "arrow stance" (gong bu, or deng shan bu or mountain stance or mountain climbing stance), the one that we are going to describe has much in common with those of Tai Chi ones but, to avoid confusion (discussions and overlaps), we only correlate it to 6 Dragons Kung Fu.
The advantages of this stance are various, both in terms of training, both in terms of struggle:
It gives us great stability and balance (rooting, read Kung Fu rootin...

What is trapping in martial arts and what is it for?
Trapping is a type of interaction widely used in Wing Chun (under the name Phon Sao) and in Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do:
It consists of "capturing" the adversary through a tactical mobilization of our limbs (not necessarily grabbing him with our hands)
It is not only a defensive or evasive action, it can also indeed foreshadow or include attack and counterattack
It allows to block, to divert, to unbalance, to move, to dampen, to block, to str...
