The use of a punching bag
Some premises:
In the context of a serious workout, the punching bag is one of the most mistreated training tools, so it would be wise to choose one of medium-high quality level
The primary objective of a punching bag is to train one's body in striking, everything related to the aesthetic aspect should be secondary
The protections and precautions to preserve our punching bag should be taken before the occurrence of damage due to wear (rust on the chain, tears, etc...

The direct punch
After seeing how to sketch a first guard stance (read Lesson 5.2), let?s move on to the first combat offensive technique you will learn in this course:
The direct punch is a technique that at the same time can be defined as the simplest and as the most difficult
Any non-practitioner can use this technique but a perfect punching ability takes years and years of training to develop
We start from this attack because it is one of the most common and because through its study i...

Before starting a warm-up session
Important premises:
We always have to consult a doctor before practicing any kind of physical activity
In this context, we do not want to go too far into details but be as practical as possible
After the practice of warm-up it is important to do some stretching exercises before the most intense part of training (read Basic soft stretching)
We have to pay particular attention especially if:
We are over 30-35 years old
We have suffered injuries or suffe...

What is the best possible guard stance?
As we have already said in Lesson 5.1, 6 Dragons Kung Fu is a liquid martial art, this means that it has not a single or completely defined guard stance.
A good practitioner should not memorize a position, he must understand the principles behind it to adapt them to his interactions with the various fighting scenarios:
Opponents - Level of preparation, combat style, etc.
Environment - Reduced space of action, terrain type, etc.
Combat type - Bare...

6 Dragons Kung Fu?s 5th Meditation Method can be considered as a part of the 4th Method (read Meditation method 4). While the previous one is a complete meditative oriented activity, this extrapolation can be considered its ?portable version; it serves to bring its type of breathing in many other moments of our martial life:
Stretching (read Basic soft stretching and How to correctly perform stretching)
Daily relaxation / regeneration

Preparation:
Important, we will not repeat the det...

The path to real combat skills
In the current chapter, we begin to see some of the basics of fighting. In terms of combat skills this is the path we follow:

Technical exercises (read Lesson 3.6) are used to become able to practice techniques
Techniques are used to become able to practice sparring (in a profitable way)
Sparring sessions are used to become able to fight (self-defense, sports competi...

A little misunderstanding
When we talk about MMA we always refer to things like UFC (etc.) but these are not really mixed martial art fighting; these are specific sport competitions with detailed rules / limits where it is favorable to use some things instead of others.
It's like asking: "why, if pizza is really that good, it is not served in Japanese sushi restaurants?"
Some fact:
Kung Fu techniques are widely used in UFC - A big percentage of the involved martial arts are (at least) ...

Focus on breathing
Working with constancy and dedication on the practices described in Lesson 4.5 you will slowly develop an unconscious attention to breathing:
That kind of focusing is necessary to build the instinct that will allow you to use the most appropriate breathing in every situation
An autonomous mechanism that, in most cases, will activate without even having to think about it
After a few weeks of (uninterrupted) practice, the conditioning of the respiratory system should be st...

Is it true that all martial arts derive from Shaolin Temple?s Kung Fu?
No. It?s purely false.
The only thing that all martial arts share is the fact that they prepare their practitioners for combat.
Combat has existed since man has appeared on this planet (in every time and everywhere); understood this, it is more than obvious to draw the conclusion that even before the construction of the first Shaolin monastery (the first Shaolin Buddhist Temple was built in 377 AD) there existed an eno...
