Shenyi TaiChi No Competition
We never advocate force, for it only brings jealousness and slander, which violates the principles of Taiji's harmony with the society and fight less. So we seldom show off our Kungfu, whereas, there would never be the NO .1 in the world. Among the various type of Kungfu, there are scientific ones and unscientific ones. Among the hundreds of thousands of learners, there are high-savvy ones and low-savvy ones. There is no one who is able to win forever, thus there is no need to fight for fame and fortune at all. If you try to do that, it would only bring you the hostility of others and you would pay a lot to the fright, physical and mental frazzle and even destroy your health. Thus, you would be physical and mental uncomfortable, consuming you lots of energy. If you really love Kungfu, you could experience with a relaxing mind and enjoy as much as you like, supposing you don't treat the fame so important. The modern society is trying its best to teach people how to compete with others, making people physical and mental even more uncomfortable and flippancy. It has posed the whole society in an insanity and discomposure state, in which many people have to compete for something, doing they don't want to do. Everyone is just like the ant in the hot pan, losing self, living in the crazy dream innocently and endless distraught matters. However, people would live like this till die.
There is no difficulty to do anything, only if you devote yourself completely to the thing you are doing. That is to be relaxed, take things as they come without caring the loss and gain and the so-called fame. Many people have been burdened a lot for the fame, being very tired the whole life. You would be swayed by considerations of gain and loss everyday, pursuing the merit and fame all the time. You would resort to every means to get the so-called fame, which is rather innocent and foolish. It not only imperils you, but also imperils others. Thus, you could not enjoy the real happiness, which is born from your bottom of heart instead of the external merit and fame (secondary in your life. You may get happiness from the merit and fame, however, that happiness is temporary and would disappear very soon and fret and anguish coming in turn. This is the natural rule and only psychic happiness could be eternal. The more you target at yourself, the happier you are, whereas, the more you target at the outside, the more fret and anguish you would suffer. And the frustration would be with you the whole life.
Mr. Kong Ming has communicated Kungfu with many famous Kungfu masters and their Kungfu was interior to Mr. Kong Ming. However, Mr. Kong Ming never treats Kung fu as important, quiet mind the foremost in his eyes. Quiet mind would make you healthy, bringing you the correspondent energy. The real Kungfu is composed of quiet mind and technical exercises and no Kungfu could compare with this kind of Kungfu. To keep his precious Kungfu practicing experience, Mr. Kong Ming has developed a set of Kungfu practicing method including 69-form style of Shenyi TaiChi Chuan, 48-form style of Shenyi TaiChi Internal Kung and many other scientific practicing methods together with his daughter--TaiChi Girl Fu Wenjie. What's more, every form of the TaiChi Chuan has embodied the function to the enemy, including strike and kick, qinnazhouji, kaoxiangshuaitui and all the TaiChi function. These forms could make you got lots of force, quick-response, clever style and fast speed. In a word, it includes endless types to defeat the enemy, whereas, common opponent is not able to win and it even could identify the win within one form. In the strict sense, TaiChi Dao VS enemy is method should be called Ziyou Boji, which could be used and to defeat the enemy everywhere. And it even could break up the enemy's forms and give the enemy heavy hit. However, practicing TaiChi Dao is relaxing and happy compared with other TaiChi Chuan needing hard practice. Hard practice would not improve your Kungfu rather than harmful for your health especially for elderly people. It decreases people's energy. Everybody should have a scientific method to practice Kungfu and there is much knowledge in the practice, which could not be ignored. It not, it would get half the result with the twice effort.
Mr. Kong Ming has had many stories about interchanging Kungfu with other famous master. Here, we just describe a little. One time, a famous Kungfu master, who is said has several hundreds of disciples and very famous in the local place. He talked a lot about Chansi Energy to Mr. Kong Ming, which Mr. Kong Ming has lots of suspicion. He told to the master the key of Kungfu was force, speed and tech, whereas, the Chansi is a part of tech. But the master has insisted his own opinion. Each of them sticked to their own views. The master suggested that he would interchange his Chansi force with Mr. Kong Ming. Mr. Kong Ming has shown no-energy for three times, considering the courtliness. However, Mr. Kong Ming would not like to lie and he still insisted his own opinion, arguing that he did not use force at all. The master was a little angry, arguing that you should be bold enough to look at the failure. Mr. Kong Ming thought to himself: It is no bad to let him know the fact, only worrying about injure his self-respect. However, there was nobody in the room except he and me, so I had a try. Then, Mr. Kong Ming asked the master to try again initiatively. Mr. Kong Ming stretched out his palm and asked the master to hold his thumb without holding the master's hand, in spite of the master using force. However, Mr. Kong Ming's hand was just as stable as the Mountain Tai, comparing that Kong Ming did not hold the master' hand. Kong Ming did not use any force from the beginning till the end, considering the master's self-respect. Several times like this, the master plainted that your energy was too heavy, I could not use my force at all.
Kong Ming found a famous Kungfu master who was teaching his prentices when he was practicing Taichi in Beijing Park . The master's Kungfu is so great that his prentices take turns to interchange with him, however, the prentices were thrown out far away even some was injured by the master's little push., which aroused Kong Ming's interest greatly. Kong Ming was studying TaiChi Chuan, then. Kong Ming came up and asked for advice, however, he could not be thrown out by the master's push, and so did Taiji Girl fu Wenjie. As result, Kong Ming learned from the master for several days and finally he decided to interchange with the master to test how big force the master has. However, Kong Ming said "he can not use his force for it is too strong". And the master said "I don't care at all, please use all of your force to hit me, for it is just a friendly enterchange".
Thus, they began to enter change with each other. Kong Ming inserted his two hands to the master's armpit and lifted him from the ground, threw him from the front to the back, which made him lost countenance. However, there was nobody then, and this was the reason just Kong Ming did so. After this, the master would not like to enter change with Kong Ming any more. In fact, Kong Ming did not have any malice and just treated the master as his real teacher, learning a lot from him. Therefore, we should learn from the common ones for they all have their own advantages.
A famous master in a famous Kungfu hometown came to learn from Kong Ming on purpose. Kong Ming was practicing TaiChi, then, noticing that somebody was looking at him and guessed that he must be a Wushu-lover. After practicing, the man came to talk with Kong Ming, introduced by their prentice. The prentice argued that his master was very good at tuishou. Kong Ming did not practice tuishou, then, he was just practicing Shenyi Internal Kung with strong force and sensitivity. Thus, Kong Ming wanted to learn tuishou from this master heartedly. The master asked Kong Ming to push him and Kong Ming pushed him straightly, which was absorbed by the master with arm; Kong Ming hit the master to lie down with his elbow. After several round, the master still could not hit Kong Ming down. Finally, the master and Kong Ming became good friends. The master's friend told Kong Ming that "his master is very famous in his city and a coach in one culture center." Kong Ming just smiled to this prentice, saying "Your master is not using all his force at all  ̄ . In fact, this master is of high morality in the Kungfu world.
Kong Ming has a friend who has been practicing TaiChi for twenty years and is very famous in local place with lots of prentices. During a journey with Kong Ming, the master had talked a lot about the TaiChi he is practicing and pushed Kong Ming back. And he thought Kong Ming did not have strong force, for his physical condition was not so good. Kong Ming stood stably after several times of the master's pushing, whereas, he pushed the master in response and the master was pushed far away by Kong Ming. Finally, the master was surrender sincerely to Kong Ming, saying  ̄ Your strength is too big; I can't move you at all".
Kong Ming always travels around the country. He saw a group of people were practicing tuishou and testing force when he was practicing in a park. Kong Ming and his wife just came across and sat at a big stone for rest, observing the people testing force. One of them was teaching the others tuishou, who is from Shanghai and he is very good at tuishou, many people learning from him. Whereas, there was still a person, who seemed better than the Shanghaiese. This scene has aroused Kong Ming's interest greatly and he wanted to test the force of himself. So he came up to the Shanghaiese and said that "I would like to inter change with you for I envy your tuishou Kong so much, what's more, I have not been practicing tuishou for two years." The master is very kind and folksy and exerts his normal level to inter change with Kong Ming. However, he could not withstand Kong Ming's energy and quick response, even thrown away by Kong Ming for several meters. the inter change between then was completely a friendly one, which ordinary people may not be able to read just through their movements. So there was not any hostility at all. if were, Kong Ming would not like to inter change with this master. There were six persons watching the inter change and one of them came up to Kong Ming and ask Kong Ming to test force with him. Kong Ming could not decline him, for he insisted to test. However, Kong Ming read from the man's actions that he was a high-hearted and self-esteem person, so Kong Ming just pushed the man symbolistic. If Kong Ming wins him, it would bring him unhappiness. The man turned out to be a self-esteem man. As a result, Kong Ming asked him to test his force again and the man was thrown out by Kong Ming for three times. Whereas, the man was ashamed to anger, acting in a very bad manner and seemed to fight with Kong Ming, which "frightened" Kong Ming walked away with smile. The above mentioned masters are much heavier than Kong Ming, however, Kong Ming could use his force smartly and mix real conditions with false conditions. If Kong Ming had used all his power, the movement would not be described in words and all the scene is the natural rule. Kong Ming always emphasizes the importance of energy and tech in Kungfu.
Kong Ming has tested force with others for many times, however, he has never flaunted his superiority in front of others. He always emphasizes testing force is just a friendly test and he acts very kindly and easy-going. He would not fight for win, only if he thinks it needs to. He thinks that he is not specializing in high-level Kungfu, and he has a long distance to high-level Kungfu, what ' s more, there is no need to compete for the high-master. Each type of Kungfu has its own advantages, worthy to learn. This is the reason why Kong Ming would not like to show off his real Kungfu in front of others.
Only physical healthy and mental happy deserve to pursue. Therefore, Shenyi TaiChi Chuan claims the importance of preserving health and keeping quiet minds. Kungfu is minor, a game and it should bring burden and fret to people. People should have a relaxing mind when practice Kungfu without any worries and trouble. If you want to desert the Kungfu, please do so following your own mind. Now, Master Kong Ming just living heart and soul, without any concept of Kungfu. Everything is just like a game. A person could get the nutrition of Dao only if he could get his mind really quiet, so that he could not consume his energy so fast and make his life more colorful and much happier, which is the target we develop the Shenyi TaiChi Chuan.
