LUNG MO H'SING-I CH'UAN

Dragon Veins of H'sing-I Ch'uan

Long ago there were terrible battles in H’sing-I. A judge forbade one Master to use his right arm unless he was attacked by two men or by one man with a weapon! One of our most famous GrandMasters was called Divine Crushing Hand because he killed over a hundred men in duels.

H’sing-I is not concerned with the body beautiful. One of our greatest GrandMasters weighed over 350 lbs. and yet could defeat a foe without witnesses seeing his hands move -- he was that fast! A 70 year old Master that barely weighed over 110 lbs. could beat all of his students in a mile-long race uphill or downhill.

These examples merely illustrate the reality and power of this Art, which is so little known in the western world. Most H’sing-I Masters were doctors or priests who would rather be remembered for the good things they did in the world. They would have rather spent time on exploring or going deeper into the mysteries of their Taoist Art than to create a devastating system of combat. Unfortunately, people looking to get a name or reputation would seek these Masters out for a fight. The masters would be tracked down even in the quietest spots and sanctuaries they could retreat to. So when these Masters turned their attention to combat and applied the high principles of internal power to this area, they came up with something beyond comparison.

Real internal fighting would involve numerous deaths and cripplings and would be correctly banned by law. To match or compete means that you must have an opponent and be one yourself. You cannot have someone you call enemy and have an inner system of combat. There are no opponents in an internal Art. When you study it you will easily see why because it is obvious.

H'sing-I is an Art that definitely focuses on combat at the cost of some of the more rapid Spiritual development that Tai-Chi gives at it’s beginning. The training is not tough or intimidating. You might spend as much time sitting down in some lessons as standing and moving. In this Art you must learn how to think and learn how to Learn!

In H’sing-I you are always assumed to be fighting 2 opponents at a time and the ranking system is based on that. Learn to stop pain in an emergency or accident. Above all, learn to use your mind and spirit, not muscles! Your step will become lighter and your speed will increase without noticing it. You will be shocked at shaking hands with a friend and having to relax so as not to hurt him.

The Internal dynamics of H’sing-I give you a quiet peace when performing them. A contemplative, almost meditative mood will envelop the students, which is why a Temple, and not a gym, is used for learning Wu Tang Arts.

We recommend all H’sing-I students take at least 6 months of Tai Chi to prepare their mind and body, but this is not a requirement! You can begin H’sing-I immediately. The saying is, one week of H’sing-I, one month younger, one month of H’sing-I, twelve months younger. Ultimately all the health benefits of Tai Chi will appear in H’sing-I.
