Blog session 4, KungFu

Hi, today I’m going to talk about a very old and traditional unarm martial art, KungFu. This martial art is from China and it required a lot of patience and energy. According to Chinese legend, martial arts had begun more than 4000 years ago, in the Xia Dynasty.

I think I feel this fascination for this topic from very young, because I saw a lot of oriental movies and cartoons, and the martial arts are very common in all stories.  Also always is related to the good guy in the story, and who doesn’t want to be the hero in own life?

Another attractive point is how you can find the inner peace whit your environment and god, leaving the material things behind, because meditation is considered an important component of basic training. Others values are humility, sincerity, courtesy, morality and trust, and that’s very important in the moral formation in a person.

 

Actually exist a controversy, all the martial art we see in movies and shows are only acrobatic, and the most traditionalist say’s martial arts are a way for meditation and self-defence only.
