Academy of Immortal Palm

My teacher taught me this (ok, not the jumping part). Many people come to class with preconceived ideas about martial arts. And, when they really start to get into it, they understand that it is a new way of thinking and moving. They have to learn to let go, which helps…. Free your mind.

For me, there is such a uniformity between my spiritual walk and my martial arts training that each component -body, mind, soul, and spirit; & fellowship-that it helps harmonize my life. It’s amazing. Thanks to my teacher, Carl Dechiara for helping me realize this. Thank you, God, for bringing him into my life to be a mentor to me!

I don’t know who this guy is nor do I endorse him, but this is correct. We also say - along similar lines - (from the US Navy) - Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. To cultivate oneself through a martial arts form, it must be done slowly. As one continues to work through the form and intentionally integrates the whole body with correct structure the body, mind, soul and spirit benefit from the training. And consistently training over a long period of time one develops “kung fu”.

Train consistently. What are you becoming? Do you know what to focus on to reach the next level?

I have used this illustration so many times. Many people, especially beginners only “look at the finger” because the don’t know what the finger is pointing towards because they are so enthralled with “the finger”. They are missing so much, “all that heavenly beauty”.

Found this interesting old kung fu movie with an opening demo by Chen Xiao Wang, entitled Tai Chi Madter. Chen Xiao Wang is not even in the movie other than the intro performance. The movie itself is your average 80’s kung fu theater flick, but the intro was interesting.

Martial arts not only helps you train for self defense, but acts as personal growth. Carl once said,”Precision helps you focus.” I had written that on our mirror as a reminder. This applies not only to martial arts, but to all of life. Aiming to have better and better precision helps you focus on improvement by chasing precision/perfection and by chasing perfection you catch excellence. What could you do to improve your body, mind, soul and spirit? What would improving your focus do for you and those around you. Our students work and train to be precise on a regular basis which spills into their everyday lives. What would you do with greater focus?
