A Brief History of the Martial Arts Martial Arts (zhōngguó w ǔ shù ) 中國武術

Kung fu Kung fu ( 功夫 ) Wushu Wushu ( 武術 )

 Many Chinese martial arts, and several Japanese martial arts, claim to have originated from the teachings of Bodhidharma at the Shaolin Temple (a Buddhist monastery in China) when he visited China in the 6th century A.D.  Researchers regard the claim that all components of Chinese martial arts derive from Bodhidharma with considerable skepticism, since the historical record and modern archaeology report earlier sources for some techniques and schools.

 The concept of qì or ch'i ( 氣 ), the inner energy or "life force" that flows through the body of every living being, is encountered in almost all styles of Chinese martial arts. Internal styles are reputed to pay more attention to its cultivation than external styles.  Many believe that one's qi energy can be improved and strengthened through the regular practice of various physical and mental exercises known as “qigong”. Though qigong is not a martial art itself, it is often incorporated in Chinese Martial Arts.

 There are many ideas regarding controlling one's qi energy to such an extent that it can be used for healing oneself or others: the goal of medical qigong.  Some styles believe in focusing qi into a single point when attacking and aim at specific areas of the human body (similar to the study of acupressure), to cause maximum damage or disable certain functions of the body.

 Some go so far as to think that at an advanced level it is (or was, as some believe such abilities to now be lost, if they ever existed) possible to cause harm without even touching the opponent, a popular yet unproven concept in Chinese martial arts movies!

 1. Many in the world have heard of the Famous Master Lee, but what new information did you learn from this presentation?  2. Do you think Bruce Lee would have gone on to become even more famous if he had lived? Why or why not?

 3. Name some ways that Master Lee shared the great value of Traditional Chinese Culture with the West.  4. Bruce Lee is considered a hero by many, believed in GOBALIZATION and multiculturalism even before the word existed, how did he grow and help the East/West exchange of knowledge and culture?
