History of Shaolin Kungfu and Kungfu Flow



History of Shaolin Kungfu and Kungfu Flow

Streams Kung Fu (traditional) that still exist and grow is now generally sourced from Shaolin Kungfu. But besides that, there are also flow from Bu Tong (Wu Dang), Hoa San, and others.
Many errors were equated with Kungfu Wushu. Wushu, which is gaining popularity in recent years, is the "son" of the various schools of traditional kung fu. Wushu was created from a combination of various streams of kung fu movements. So, wushu is a movement that has been standardized. Wushu further highlight aspects of the sport, beauty, acrobatic, and for the purpose of show / show. Movements of wushu is not intended for self-defense aspect.
While the traditional kung fu (Shaolin Kungfu), a flow that has existed and evolved since hundreds and or even thousands of years ago. Wider benefits. In addition to sporting purposes, martial arts, beauty, Shaolin Kung Fu is also a means to train character. So it is a "Way of Life / Way of Life." Because in kungfu, the ultimate goal should be achieved is to be able to "conquer yourself," meaning we should be able to defeat the bad traits that exist within us. So it is very fitting slogan of kung fu that read: "Conquering others is easy, conquer yourself is very difficult".
If the view of the movements, Shaolin Kungfu can be categorized into two major streams. The flow of external and internal flow. That enter into such an external flow stream Pek Ho (White Crane), the flow of Lo Han, Hung Family stream, flow Ngo Cho, Wing Chun, and so on. While the internal flow is categorized C'hi Tai, Hsing Yi, Pa Kua.
Actually at the end / high, the second objective is the same stream. If the external flow, began to train movements with full power and eventually will get the power. Internal flow on the contrary, starting from movements softer and also the same eventual goal is to obtain power within.
In this digital age, where everything was instant, many people are also implementing the system as fast as lightning in learning and practicing Shaolin Kung Fu. Unfortunately this way is not very big right and wrong. Because to get the correct and proper, necessary process in Shaolin Kung Fu. This process can not be done in a jiffy. By practicing diligently and intensively, the most rapid, it takes two to three years will be master of Shaolin Kung Fu.
Another thing that helped make the confusion is the proliferation of various "streams" in the new kung fu. In fact, large streams that exist today, is a system created by the professors who are recognized by the community and has been proven throughout the history of Kung Fu Shaolinnya. So it's not a "flow" made by individuals who feel and think of himself as a great teacher.
