already mentioned this, as I was admitted to the SNAKE CRANE WING CHUN MUN and
what this means for me ,
After I had already received a lot of
information from Sifu Wayne Yung and Sifu Ridha Lhiba via videoconferencing and
Chatts, came Sabine (my wife, who also Wing Chun practicing) and I be able to
experience the pleasure SNAKE CRANE WING CHUN directly from Sifu Ridha ,
After over 40 years martial arts and 25 years
Wing Chun experience I have experienced a lot. Among them were very impressive
experiences of outstanding experts. But what I have experienced at Sifu Ridha
was out of this world. Everything I had learned so far about Kung Fu Chi, Qi,
Ching, power flow, iron shirt and internal Kung, was not comparable to that in
any way what Sifu Ridha demonstrated. A lighter by 20kg man touched me
completely relaxed and fractions of seconds later I found myself a few feet
away on a couch again. I have written books, produced audiobooks and given
seminars - I have earned my money trying to find the right words. But here I
can not do that - I just can not put into words what we experienced there.
But it got even better. Sifu Ridha could not only demonstrate Chi and Jing (inner force flow) , he explained to me exactly and in detail what I have to do in order also to achieve this. At first I sat still a muscular power, but what I should not do, according to Ridha. I tried exactly to do what Ridha told me, but as I previously did not know this feeling, I found it initially really difficult. At one point I thought to myself almost a little defiantly: "Then I stop anything," And at that very moment he staggered back and yelled. "Yeah - that's it".
"Fake", I thought this could be
possible I was totally relaxed and as Sifu Ridha staggered back he never
realized my doubts immediately and said to Sabine:..?! "Come quickly and
hold Thomas HERE!" (You should also feel if I "was set in
motion" it with complete relaxation). Even Sabine could not remain
standing. Then Sifu Ridha taught the same thing Sabine. In a short time Sabine
experienced the same as I did before.
In less than an hour could us Sifu Ridha teach
what I had been looking for - for me it was a "meeting of the Third
Kind" And this was only the morning of the first five days I usually do
after three hours of training mean.! 53 years old bones hurt, but here we
trained seven daily hours and then had more energy than before.
In the next few days we learned that in SNAKE
CRANE WING CHUN
- It's about Taoist self-defense strategies
that obtain maximum efficiency without the use of physical force
- Are not techniques but concepts in the
foreground
- A holistic health system
- A didactic teaching building body structure,
inner force flow and Chi effectively developed
SNAKE CRANE WING CHUN has been passed down
since the foundation of the Wing Chun to the 21-th century within the family,
kept secret and guarded like the Holy Grail. Sabine and I now had the great
honor to be initiated into these mysteries.
All this had convinced myself that I have found
here all the techniques and concepts that were missing me by then. But deeply
touched me something else. I experienced what it means to be received in a Kung
Fu Mun (family). Sifu Ridha and his students were all very open and warm and
went out of their way to make us continue what they had already learned
themselves. Just a great Wing Chun family !!!
To clearly illustrate my present perspective -
Wing Chun, as I knew it until then - is an excellent self-defense system. SNAKE
CRANE WING CHUN extended this to a high-end version.
