* Shaolin Martial Arts including Buddhism?

Youfu said Li, Wushu originated from traditional Chinese culture is very ancient and rich in meaning. He was originally derived from Taoism and closely related to the cultivation (the processing body and soul to attain perfection), forming a nurturing moral character, arts and skills, maintenance of fitness, martial arts and violence prevention. That is why in the script Wu (武 = martial arts, martial arts) contains two characters namely: stop the fight (止 戈).

From ancient times there were only two major streams namely Buddhism and Taoism, then do martial arts from the Shaolin Temple that includes knowledge of Buddhism?

Youfu Li explains, the martial arts of the Shaolin temple may be called the External Science, but not the science of Buddhism, because the science of Buddhism and practicing meditation Qi Gong (read: jhi kung, processing science of breath and vital energy).

"Shaolin temple monks meditate and train personnel in, why they are not practicing Taichi? Sebetulnnya Buddhism is not allowed to mix training with knowledge of the flow of Tao, so monks who really managed the master of science in his body, will not practice tai chi moves. Shaolin Kung Fu itself is actually not in the power train, as a matter of unambiguous flow (single specialized), people who practice their own understanding of it, but the problem is not known by the people. "

"From the Taoist subdivided several streams such as: Xingyi, Taichi, Bagua (read: pa kwa, Eight Trigrams) and Elixier In. While practicing Shaolin external force, then at the Shaolin Qigong are hard, that by using the hand could crush rocks with The soles of Iron Sand science, including hard Qigong, and Qi was not into the Dan Tian, ​​did not practice, and (Elixier in), this way does not affect the power in which they trained from the results of meditation, does not concern the issue firmly on the flow . "

In a number of competitions last October 8, can be seen nunchaku (a pair ruyung 2 segment) and Toya fire. Li Youfu give an explanation, "They are practicing monks Toya due status, should not carry guns and sharp, at the Shaolin Temple was not available the sword, the old days they did not practice a machete. They practice two types of weapons, Toya and Yue Ya Chan ( long rod-shaped weapon with a spade on one end and a crescent moon on the other end) which is also referred to as stick monks, like those used Sha Sheng (Sand Priest in the story of Journey to the West). head of the monastery in ancient times always bring this sort of thing . Toya has no sharp-edged metal, the ends do not taper, it is only a tool. "

Youfu said Li, the martial arts originated from Shaolin Hong Quan. "Bodhidharma came from the west without the book and do not carry any martial arts. He was imprisoned only 9 years facing the wall. Later the same entry to the temple as a monk, they have to bring the martial arts, martial arts was pretty Hong Quan popular in the community. There are varieties of Hong Quan and Hong Quan is small, then tersebarlah it into the Shaolin temple.
