SELECTION OF QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
JUNE 2023 PART 1

Question 1

Answer

You are quite senior and I do not want him to say that he is teaching you together with his students who come from disadvantaged backgrounds.

"Shifu" and "coach" have different connotations. Most instructors in modern wushu prefer to be addressed as coaches.

I prefer to use "sifu" instead of "shifu". "Sifu" means "teacher-father". He must have the heart of a parent, and treats his students like his own children.

It may not be easy to tell the instructor that you want to stop learning from him. You can try telling him that you don't have time.

I hope that one day you can bring the Shaolin arts back to the China. How is your chi kung healing? We in Shaolin Wahnam are the ones who claim that so-called incurable diseases can be overcome, as when there is "chi" there is life.

Question 2

Answer

Siheng Leo is a very good instructor. You can be sure that he teaches genuine chi kung and kungfu courses. You have to learn the Shaolin 16 combat sequences. It is not easy to learn them, but they will give you internal force and combat application.

Internal force will contribute to your good health and happiness, and will enable you to use kungfu for combat. As we live in a law abiding society, it may not be necessary to use kungfu combat but it will add to your health.

Question 3

Answer

Practicing Xingyiquan and using it like Wudang San Feng set depends on the skills of the practitioner. I believe you can do so as you have attended my Xingyiquan and Wudang San Feng courses. Right now I am practicing Wudang San Feng set.

My ten classical kungfu writings are as follows, or at least those parts that are relevant:

1. The training of internal force.
2. The Songs of Baguazhang.
3. The five animals of Shaolin Kungfu.
4. The internal training of Zhang San Feng.
5. WudangTaijiquan.
6. The Internal Aspects of Xingyiquan.
7. Treasure of Internal Arts.
8. Dim Mark, Chin-Na and Internal Force.
9. Art of War.
10. Treasures of Strategists.

Question 4

Answer

The number one skill is to relax.

If a person cannot relax, both physically and psychologically, he is stressed. If he cannot relax physically, he cannot use his combat applications properly.

More important is psychologically. If he cannot relax psychologically, he cannot think properly.

The trouble is that most people cannot relax physically and psychologically. If they can relax physically and psychologically, they can beat their opponent comfortably. If they have no internal force, they can poke at the eyes of their opponents, or kick at their groins.

Question 5

Answer

You will contribute to good health, vitality, longevity, peak performance and spiritual joys irrespective of religion or the lack of one. Just practice the stances correctly and some of the combat applications. Remember that our Taijiquan is very "high" compared to other people not in our school.

I recall that when I first taught kungfu, some family members suggested that I added "Advance Course", but I told them that they were just fundamental. You may have to practice longer as you add Taijiquan to your practice.

Perhaps you can join Carlos in his practice of chi kung. It is great that husband and wife practice together.

I am glad that Elena is practising chi kung. "It is one of the best things that everyone can do when practicing chi kung; it is better that changing stones to gold" says a Chinese proverb. When there is "chi" or energy, there is life.

Question 6

Answer

You can gradually raise your injured hand. Do this everyday for a few days.

Raise your injured hand and grasp your fingers. Do this for a few days.

In this way you can use your hands. You must progress slowly and carefully.

It is important that you must stop if you feel any pain.

Question 7

Answer

Thank you very much for your birthday wishes.

I have a beautiful day every day, though at present I cannot see my grandchildren and are restricted. Every day is my birthday.

I have lived a very happy life, having saved many people from so-called incurable diseases, and being kind to all people.

I started my journey when my sifu, Sifu Ho Fatt Nam, the third generation successor from the Shaolin Monastery from Quanzhou, asked me to spread the Shaolin arts irrespective of race, culture and religion. I spread the arts to non-Chinese in different parts of the world, and am very happy to have many successors, including you.

I am indeed very blessed and I am very fortunate for the blessings from divine beings. My sifus must be proud of me.

Question 8

Answer

Self-love is the first step to loving others. You have to love yourself. I am glad that I can be of help.

The present restriction will soon be over. It is a lovely world.

If you want to be an instructor in our school, please let me know. Remember that we teach very high chi kung and kungfu, and we must speak from a position of strength. I didn't know of this during my students' days; I only knew that all my sifus were patriarchs in their respective arts.
