Sifu TW Smith | Finding the Path Thru KungFu: Recent Episodes
Sifu TW Smith
Sifu TW Smith shares his experiences and awareness through the KungFu. He began training in KungFu because he was lost as a young man, making the same ole mistakes, ending up in places he shouldn't have been. Thru rigorous martial art, combative and meditation training with US. Army classmates, he found a different path. "We practice KungFu to become a better person first and a better Martial Artist second."

In Chinese Martial Arts, you will hear the statements, you are too Yin, or, your mind is too Yang? How do you use, or decode that?
During this podcast I walk through the terms Yin and Yang and how they were used. When they became connected to a map, that followed the sun, and then later became the symbol we think of today.
If you would like to get the full Yin/Yang Map and a PDF Bullet List of the major points that I go through during this podcast, you can go to :
www.tibetankungfu.net/81
You can have it delivered directly to your mailbox.
I hope you enjoy it.

Motivation is often over rated.
Waiting till you feel right to do something is simply a form excused
procrastination. As practitioners of Martial Arts of any style and for
any reason. We have to work to developing our self-discipline.

Fear comes in many shapes and colors. Some fears of our physical
well-being are engrained at a fundamental level, as described in
Maslow's Heirarchy of needs. Some fears are foreshadows of what pain and
discomfort would be like, the fear of falling, the fear of drowing, in
martial arts, the fear of getting hit.
The fear precedes an actual event, and if the fear is strong enough it
can immobilize us till we can't move or perform.
What about fears that there is no inherit risk to our physical being?
The fear of public speaking
The fear of making a mistake in front of audience
The fear of performing
The fear of looking silly
These fears put us at no physical risk, but puts our ego and self-worth
in the cross-hairs.
Some fears can be worked through by 'doing', you put yourself in a
position to be safe as possible and work on it, for example, the fear of
falling.
With fears of performing, whether as a painter, an actor, or a martial
artist, 'doing' will not be enough to achieve your highest level of
success. You can't 'do' painting, you have to 'be' a painter.
*What does it take to 'be' a painter, be a martial artist? I walk you
through step by step during this podcast.*

Message from a Listener
The 3 month window called the Holiday Season, the time of higher joys,
higher expectations, higher stress. We put together an class that will
meet each thursday until January to give us all a little extra support.
A listener left a Review:
"Wow, I can't praise enough. I found these today and feel like I hit the
jackpot. Sifu Smith, what a generous service you are providing. Beyond
the wisdom and compassion you convey, the fact that you are providing
these through a non-cost podcast conveys even more to me. It's not so
easy to find consistent and high quality instruction or content for
free. Practically nothing is free anymore. What I have learned already
is invaluable, so thank you, thank you. You are a good person and a good
representative of what you teach."

Remove 3 Barriers of Learning Martial Arts or Anything Else Recently I had posted a picture of me and Kian wrestling at the beach.
You can see that picture below.
It was a time where Kian was learning wrestling, and of course the
famous Shawn Michaels and UnderTaker are two of our favorites. I had
made the comment on the post that "You Don't Want to Be in Your Own Way"
while learning.
It stimulated some wonderful responses and a couple of questions.. ie.
"It would be great to get out of my own way when learning something, How
do you do it?"
That prompted this podcast. I have discussed how we learn motor skills
from more a biomechanical and bio-neurological perspective in episodes :
Original Webpage : www.tibetankungfu.net/65
Psychological Approach This is the psychological approach to learning, During Part 1 I address :
How does it apply to adults versus children?
What is the first, most important ingredient that you must have?
What are 3 barriers that you must minimize or remove to promote learning?
What is the neuroscience that supports this learning model?
Where is the GateKeeper of the Human Mind, that allow information to
pass from the senses, to the memory?

Being Smooth is one of the most important components of a practice. It
comes after we have developed the concepts of what we are trying to do
(memory and objective), then the biomechanics of how to do it, and the
correct alignment throughout our body..
After that, we delve into being smooth.
We will look at what a smooth practice demands of us physically and
mentally.
What part of the brain is primarily responsible for being smooth?
What is the number one ingredient for smoothness to be present?
What impact does smoothness have to people that practice for combat?
What influence does pacing have to looking for smoothness?
This week I will share stories of people who practice being smooth, and
get paid millions to do it. The "Why and The How" of Being Smooth..
Word Search Puzzle
I thought it would be fun to provide a Word Search Puzzle. It has the *main
ingredients to putting Smoothness in Your Practice* as the Clue

*Tai Chi Chuan is a Peng Jin Chuan, Without Peng Jin There is No
Tai Chi Chuan*"
In Podcast of Tibetan KungFu #63:
I discuss a few minutes on this weeks meditation topic, Acceptance.
Then we investigate the main ingredient of Tai Chi Chuan, called Peng
Jin.
Acceptance
A primary emotional intelligence skill that we must all practice to
first have a realistic view of the circumstances and faces around us.
Consider all the other detrimental emotions we experience when we fail
to accept people and circumstances as they are, at this moment in time.
But it is the balance of Acceptance that is also critical. Because you
are personally responsible for certain things too.
Peng Jing
I put in more hour of research for this podcast that perhaps I have for
any other. Peng Jing was explained to me from a classical Chinese
perspective, which was difficult to understand, but do-able, and then
when I got hit with it a few times, and got hit when I didn't have it, I
accepted Peng Jing is something you better find, whether you understood
it or not.
Recently a student asked me to explain it, and this student likes
everything to be sorted in a nice, neat box. One rule, one tool.. and
Peng Jing is far from being neatly stored into a single box. It is one
of those concepts that :
Chinese Academic Scholars argue about it's original meaning.
The character itself bears out multiple meanings to be aware of.
It is a character that isn't used very often, so it leaves room for
non-corrected interpretations.
You can see when you understand it, but it is nearly invisible if you
don't.
It is both energetic expression, like "he looked very poised", and
It is a method of expression, or a number of techniques.
Far from being a neat, clean, sort into a box understanding.

Often I am asked if I can teach the Martial Tai Chi, often referred to
as Tai Chi Chuan. Martial Art is a term that can flex in meaning and
often lead to confusion.
So what does "Martial Arts" mean to you?
Health Practice
For some it is a style or system and they practice for health.
Some practice for understanding a philosophical structure of life and a
cultural experience.
ZhaoShu - Movie Kungfu
Others want to know what the movements do, and enjoy practice the
gestures of movement, but they are not interested getting striking or
getting struck, throwing or getting thrown, being the Purveyor of Pain.
Learning the Gestures of Martial Arts with delivering the force is often
what you see in the movies, in kungfu they call this 'ZhaoShu'.
This does help someone understand concepts of movement and is great for
creating a 'textured' or deeper understanding in the motor cortex, so
that your file called 'Single Whip' isn't just a motion with points of
precision, but there is feeling in it too.
Martial Combat
But to cross over to the Martial Combat Side, there is more to be done.
Civilian Self Protection and Para-Military Training have combative
aspects, but their objectives are very different. Certainly all versions
of combative sport have their objective which is much different than the
others as well.
It's not that one is better, or more right for you. It is a matter that
you know why you are practicing and that your practice matches up with
your intent.

I wanted to send some encouragement out to everyone in the Kungfu Family as we approach the Weekend.
Whether you practice Martial Arts for health, show, combat, or as a philosophical way of life, it requires that reach deep to stay on track.

Critical to Success in Life, Business and Martial Arts is the ability to
dynamically respond.
During TKF Podcast #56 we will look at :
What does a fluid, dynamic response mean?
Why is it essential?
How do you become readily responsive?
3 Domains that it is essential :
It applies in business : Article on businesses that dynamically respond,
and succeed.
In Life : Charles Darwin points to responsiveness over all other
qualities. Forbes has article on how personal career's fail when we
can't flex to respond.
In Martial Arts, Self Protection : Your ability to have any defense is
correlated with your agility to flex with circumstances and your
objective.
5 Steps to Becoming Dynamically Responsive
In the next newsletter, I will put the 5
Steps to Becoming Dynamically Responsive Outline
“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most
intelligent, but the one most responsive to change,” by Charles Darwin.

in Practice
Rational Thoughts and Emotions can lead to either rational or irrational
actions.
In Martial Arts and Life, that can lead to problems and costly failures.
But being able to differentiate between them in yourself is a first
ingredient.
Not making 'morals' or 'qualities' like 'truth and lies' synonymous to
rational or irrational is important.
How embracing the irrational is being as perfect as the rational creates
a paradigm shift, that help in all aspects of life.
In the Podcast Based on Perspective of Rational Thoughts and Actions
Why is it important to identify it in yourself?
Why are some emotions very rational?
How does it relate to martial arts?
We all want to improve upon where we are, somewhere in our lives.
Climbing to new heights is part of life's pursuits.
Practicing Martial Arts and QiGong of any style inherently comes
with the pursuit of improvement or to maintain skill.

Effects of Bullying :
Where they reference a recent study that included 6,700 13 year old
children. And the effect that bullying had on these children by the time
they were 18 years old. Startling results. If you are a parent, you will
want this information.

Main Topic : Teaching how to use skills and force in Martial Arts
There is no problem if circumstances call for it, to take a combat
engagement to a deciding finish or even use lethal blows if necessary,
but there are several stages before it comes to that.
So, I jumped on my soap box and started researching to demonstrate with
true strories..
Two Questions on the Extremes of Having Martial Arts Training..
Question 1 : When would having martial arts training would benefit you
to stay out of trouble?
Question 2 : When would having martial arts training cause you to get
into trouble?
The solutions vary from Law Enforment, Military, Para-military, Sports
or even as common as being a teacher.

Hello Mr Smith,
I'm contacting you for two reasons. First is to tell you I've recently
discovered your pod cast and enjoy it. I appreciate your efforts and
the way you approach the topics you cover.
I practice Kung-fu San soo, it's proper name is Tsoi, Li, Ho, Fut,
Hung; however San soo is the commonly used short hand. I've studied
for several years and I currently live and practice in eastern Idaho.
I also practice Cheng Man Ching style Tai Chi as well as sitting
meditation. There is a young man who has been coming to the kung fu
studio who is very new and whose parents and he are moving to North
Carolina. At this time I don't know what city or town. He is hoping to
find a place to practice and I am suggesting to Parker that he seek
you out.
Thanks again for the podcast.
Salute, Jeff Mak

Circulation is an Essential Function
All things that are defined as being 'Alive' have an essential function
called 'Circulation', in Biology it is referred to as the Transport
system, as things are moved from one place to another.
Circulation is essential to more than flesh and blood of creatures. Your
mindset and learning has to circulating to be alive. Transporting
knowledge, skill and understanding from Sifu to student, and then
students to students. Many systems and students prefer a 'spoon fed'
system. Without the circulation. When the spoon is gone, the student
withers away.

Updates :
Visit to St. Augustine University where we did Bagua and Tai Chi Demo to
support their 'Study Abroad' program.
Bob reported in on his Multi-Assailant Program
A Friend Makes an Appearance :
Iain
Abernethy is one of the most respected Karate experts in the world.
He is one of the people that organically discussed Karate Martial Arts
with the same practical concepts as Kung Fu was taught to me.
Since then he and I have become friends and in Podcast
of Tibetan Kungfu : Episode 46, one of my listeners asked a question
about Judo and Aikido. I gave my thoughts along with Lori O'Connell at Pacific
Wave JuJitsu, but Iain was out of country..
Well, when he got it, he sent me his audio recording to play for you.
Latest Workshop Updates
Application Work on QuangPing Martial Arts, the Fighting Style taught by
Kuo Lien Ying. We been working on Choke Throws, Folding throws and
Applying Wind Blows Lotus Leaf
The Natural Law of Dispersion
Throughout this planet things move from a greater concentration to a low
concentration, by ANY MEANS NECESSARY
In every form of medium:
Thermodynamics - Law 1 - Heat moves from hotter to cooler, everytime,
even if there nothing there except empty space.
Liquids - Diffusion and Osmosis
Gases - When you light a scented candle, and shortly after the whole
room carries the scent.
In our lives, common statements,
'You will become the
average of the 5 people you hang out with the most.'
'Guilty by association',
We all instinctively know that if you hang out with knuckleheads, it is
going to 'rub off' on you.
In Martial Arts
The character of a school, the context of what it is going to teach is
of greater concentration, the students absorb said qualities. You want
to make sure that they match up with what you want to learn, combat,
sport, health, lifestyle, or show for examples..
But make no mistake about it, Energetic Dispersion travels, it can lead
to a circulatory effect, where exchanges begin to occur and a whole
system of motion is underway.

This afternoon we are scheduled to present culture of chinese martial
arts and taiji at St.
Augustine University. They have a study abroad program and we were
asked to present. So happens that one of our students Danny, lived in
China for a while and is familiar with the program.
Podcast #47 Three Topics
What are some of the students up to?
Past Weekends Workshop
Qi and Kata
Bob has been asked to do a presentation on “Strategies and Tactics
Against Multi Assailants” at the SHURI-TE CONFERENCE. He has included me
in the acknowledgements and has also agreed to allow our content
members a PDF of version of the presentation.
Recent Workshop
Advanced bagua reeling silk workshop was awesome. We went through
Going from simultaneous to sequential
Add the Rippling Grip exercise (Grippling)
Butterfly Hands
Move stances and body work to free form.
KATA and Qi
We had a friend ask if I could help them address a particular question.
They are testing for a belt in Karate and was told that her Qi was low
in the Kata.. could I help..?
I have No kata experiences, however I know movements, martial arts and a
bit about the concept of Qi. So I said, ‘of course’ :)
We quickly identified a few area's
Self Questions
Confidence
Footwork and Stance Questions
Focus - Where are the 3 tips
Exponetially compounded cause they are a perfectionist.
I told the practitioner they could flip it, not worry about the kata,
but doing it with complete confidence and passion. The result would be :
"Qi was awesome, Form totally wrong."
I refer to these previous podcasts
TKF
27 : Define Qi
TKF
29 : Accumulating Qi
Imperfection
of Perfection : TKF 21

Student moves to the Mid-West
What started as a simple meeting during the TKF
006 BaGua Cornerstones :
turned into a good student and new friendship. We will miss you Dawn. Be
safe in your travels and your pursuits :)
A Listener asks the following question :
"Good Evening Sifu,
*How have you been? I have really been enjoying the last couple of
podcasts that you put out about physiological learning and the physical
senses used in martial training. I am fascinated with the mind/body
connection. I also really enjoyed the ep 45 that included the
ingredients needed to master the arts(any).*
*I have heard about Aikido being the martial arts of "love"
(gentleman, philosopher, martial artist), lacking strikes and using the
opponents aggression against them. I even watched a documentary on it
last night. And, we have a martial arts center very close to my house
that teaches this and other styles.*
*But then I made a mistake of watching a video of Aikido vs Jui Jistu,
the Aikido practitioner didn't stand much of a chance.*
*What are your thoughts on this form? I am very interested in Bushido,
but am afraid that my life doesn't align with this life style.*
*Even if you don't have much to say about this, I would love if you
could give me a tip on where I could find a style that matches my
personality and life values. I really with that I lived in your neck of
the woods. I love you passion for the arts, and I your philosophy really
rings true to my spirit.*
Thanks ahead of time for your time.
Patrick"
I call on a couple of folks to weigh in :
Lori O'Connell : very sharp lady and I like her approach to martial
arts, She teaches Jiu Jitsu at Pacific
Wave Jiu Jitsu
and another a man from the UK, that I have gotten to know,
Iain Abernethy, he is a Karate man, and part of the World
Combat Association, an organization that promotes martial arts for
combat that I totally get on board with, because it is more aligned to
how I was trained in martial arts and so were my classmates in the early
90's.
Then I break down the question from my perspective, without my kungfu
bias... um, um... okay.. I little bias.. :)

Original Webpage : Turn Movement into Martial Arts : 12 Ingredients
You have techniques, forms, kata's, mats, even a good yell.. but do you
have a martial art prepared for civiilian combat?
12 Ingredients to Turn Your Movements to Martial Arts.
During this Podcast I followup on Podcast #44, How Do You Learn a
Physical Movement?
To taking your Physical Movements and turning them into a martial art
prepared for civilian combat.
Here are some of the Highlights of this Podcast. The rest will be in a
audiobook and ebook format :)
A Story of an 11 year old boy that see's how changing his mindset,
changes the results, without any physical changes.
7 Overlaps between practicing Martial Movements and Martial Arts for
Civilian Combat
Including Overlapping Practice Errors
12 Distinct Ingredients to Turn Martial Movements into Combat Oriented
Martial Arts
and a little more Martial Arts Science along the way.
Mentioned in todays Podcast :
The Neurosky
: Mindwaves EEG Monitor
Podcast #44 : Martial
Arts Science : How Do You Learn a Physical Skill : TKF 044
Thank you for leaving a review to support the show
Original Webpage
Understanding the Phases that your body and mind go through to learn a
physical movement can help you identifty where and why to work on
different aspects.
This is not only martial arts, it could be anything from shuffling a
deck of card or playing twinkle-twinkle-little-star on the piano.
During this podcast I will discuss :
Onguards
How the "OnGuard Workshop" went on saturday and why it spawned this
podcast.
The importance of a "Martial Arts Onguard" versus a "Sporting / Boxing
Onguard"
Sciences of Learning Movement
Then we will look at the neurobiological development of movement..
The old Kungfu classics say "The Training of the Mind, must Precede
Training of the Body. Eventually Training of the Body will be Superior
to Training of the Mind."
What does that mean? Why is it important? How do you do it? When does it
apply?
I will share how Perceptual Skills are the same and different as
Physical Skills. How the learning phases are similar : of Learning
Phases
Declarative Phase : The 'What to Do' aka : I call 'snapshot phase'
Procedural Phase : The 'How to Do it' aka : I call 'soaking phase'
Plus how they both work in almost everybody. What you need to do to make
them work. What enhances the learning of movement.
Then the segway of When does a physical movement begin to get trained as
a martial art?

Caught myself in a negative moment
I had just sit down in the Fireroom during a workout.
Student came by to discuss events
She was finding herself getting angry in her meditation
I recently had a student stop by that I haven't seen in months. She
wanted to discuss some current events that were spinning in her life.
She said that she was getting angry during her meditation.
I sketched out our discussion. I am a natural visual learner, so I
sketch objects, draw roads, bridges, exits, as we go, so I can see it.
Then we looked at it from a variety of perspectives.
"That is what your kungfu family is for."
Since then she has told me that her meditation practice was much better
and she was able to see when she getting drawn in emotionally and be
able to see more clearly.

Applying today’s Podcast to your practice:
-
Recognize your fears, mental or emotional limitations. Adjust your expectations to where they are so small you have a chance, rather than being overwhelmed by the mountain you see.
-
Apply that to something like exercise, or weight loss, or meditation. I set up the Buddha in Bluejeans audio meditations so you can use that as 5-7 minutes intro’s to your program.
-
We all get embarrassed, feel like we failed. As a martial artist you expect to be challenged and expect difficulty. In life as well as forms, conditioning and sparring.
-
Put emphasis on your effort, let the performance change. If you are making errors, adjust and move on.
-
Practice being a better person first, and a better martial artist second.

Apologies and regrets are reserved for when you have made an observed
error. You do not need to apologize for choosing a good path. You may
wish that things were different, but now we are violating acceptance. If
you can respect that others may make their decisions, which are
sometimes marked for trouble and they have the right too, then mutual
respect doesn’t need an apology.

Some of you have listened to every show. I appreciate you allowing me
the opportunity to get my kungfu legs under me. Audio quality.
Formatting the show. Working out a schedule. Some of you have been here

Episode 29
Feeling Good:
Several people of various styles have contacted me to let me know that taking some of the concepts is helping them re-look at their karate, judo and other systems.
Connections:
Cameron Conaway’s essay in last episode, “5 Ways to Bring Mindfulness into Your Martial Arts” stimulated many excellent comments.
Cameron sent me a note saying that he has become a listener. He is also posted on his Twitter account of 22 thousand follower’s:
“Tibetan Kung Fu sifu TW Smith (@TibetanKungFu) offers a meditative, authentic podcast. Worth a listen. - http://bit.ly/1wYA3Eb #mindfulness”
Since I started learning more about Cameron,
He received NPR chose 5 books for their 2014 Best of Poetry Award, Cameron’s Malaria Poems is one those top 5. Congratulations and Thank You. Cameron, you are doing great work, most of all inspiring. Keep yourself going.
For more information on Cameron’s other Works such as :
Caged : Memoirs of a Cage-Fighting Poet and Until You Make The Shore
I set up a link to his website : www.tibetankungfu.net/cameron
Thank you to Scott and Roger for contributing directly to the Mook Chung. If you want to contribute directly, just earmark the dollars, or go to /Patreon, contribute there.
Past Week in Practice :
Yang 48 Tai Chi everywhere these days. The Reeling Silk has been working very well for Phillip and our “Wise One’s”. Lot of folks starting dipping into the power bucket. Even those that practice for health, because Alignment, Intention and Timing matter, as I will share shortly.
Todays Podcast:
How do we ‘accumulate’ Qi? What do we do to validate process and/or progress?
In Episode 27, we discussed the perspectives of defining Qi.
Using Those Definitions, How do we generate improvements in Qi?
Definitions:
- Original Character : Rice Pot sitting on fire, steam rising, lid on the pot opening and closing.
- Life Force : Tangible compliments Intangible, Yin and Yang
- Biologically
- Biomechanically
- Jessica Rose - Biomechanics researcher at Stanford weighs in on analysis of Bruce Lee Punch.
- Dr. Ed Roberts studies Brain Matter

In the : Bring Mindfulness into Your Martial Arts Podcast
Original Essay by Cameron Conaway
Acknowledgements:
I was working out on multiple assailant strategies. While I was sucking
wind and recovering, Lynn took the time to tell me that Episode 27,
"Talk on Qi gave her a lot to think about".
Jean told posted that she had "attended our Harmonizing Sex Drive
Workshop and it was the perfect reminder of taking care of yourself
first and the rest will follow."
Garner Fire Dept Event : http://garnerfire.com/2014_photos
They raised $15,000 to help burn victims in the hospital. Say 'Thank You
to a Fireman'.
Announcements:

Couple of edit issues in last episode because I wanted to make sure it
got out on time.. Why did I put it out anyway?
My Top Priority is to be as consistent as possible, just like in
practice. Some may be better than others. The effort is to provide
quality information first, (practice with good intent), be consistent as
possible, then performance..
Reid went to see Bruce in Charlotte, and together they did the Reeling
Silk Tai Chi with the Veterans. Yesterday during the Free Monday
Meditation Class at 11:30, we did a meditation on 'Creating Room for
Your Thoughts'. Reid feels that it will be great for the Veterans, so I
will record some bumpers and edit for them. Will send it to you Reid and
Bruce, probably through dropbox.
I exchanged a few emails with Cameron and I asked if I could share the
essay with you. I hope you find it as worthwhile as I did.
Setting the stage:
Cameron Conaway is a former MMA fighter and an award-winning poet. His
work has been featured on NPR, ESPN, The Guardian and The Huffington
Post. He teaches creative writing at Penn State Brandywine. Follow him

Ways to Bring Mindfulness into our Martial Arts Practice.

"The best martial artists are those who have mastered the art of
bringing a blank notebook into the places of their perceived knowing.."

Anniversaries:
SiHing Bruce has been with me 8 years and Dwight has been with me 10,
this month. Wow, time moves quick. They are both good men and use their
kungfu and chikung to improve their health, wellbeing, and to understand
how to use it.
HopGar:
Mr. Knox and I spent time finishing the 2nd Long Form of Hop Gar. I go
through all the details.
Excerpts:
I pull some audio from the Bagua Pushhands workshop and share that. If
you haven't seen it, you can go to Youtube
: http://youtu.be/AbY8noCXkBU
Qi ( 氣 ) is a word that carries many
meanings. All trying to capture it's essence in english and there is
really not one. The character itself is derived from rice in pot with
steam rising from it.
Perspectives of Chi
There are many forms of Qi. (Chi, Ki, Prana most say theoretically same
thing) I define Qi :
Using the character meaning to demonstrate how complex cooking rice can
be if you want to make it complicated, or how simple.
Energetic View (Energy)
Physiological View (Life Force)
Biomechanical View (Effeciency)
Giving three various way how to see it. Eventually you will see they all
the same. :)

Thank you Ray Walters and Nyle for endorsing us in Martial Arts
and Wellness at Linkedin. It is great to hear from you Ray. Been a long
while. Many of the old timers like Reid, Dwight and Patrick ask about
you.
Workshop on Push Hands has stimulated several questions. This weekend is
our Push
Hands Workshop , we will be working fundamentals of framework,
alignment, sensing and intention. I look forward to it.
The Pumpkin Carving is this weekend too, I am here all day, so bring it
when you ready :)
Hop Gar Video Trailor
The Hop Gar Trailor I recently put out on Facebook, Vimeo,
DailyMotion
and Youtube,
was a fun project I put together over the weekend. I took several photo
I had of myself and others practicing Hop Gar around 1992 at the Golden
Dragon resturaunt.
There was about 5 of us that regular rotated
in full contact beat downs out on the asphalt. Hot asphalt is a GREAT
way to teach you to move and stay on your feet to fight.
Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, Oct 27, 1995
I had already another topic laid out and the memory came back. Not sure
what triggers it, but it is a solemn reminder to practice and live
strong.
Being a dad now, the memories are even more intense.
I changed to work in Fayetteville so that I could practice KungFu more.
I worked in the Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehab department with some fine
folks. My schedule was simple for years. Get up at 5, chikung, posting
and breakfast. work, go to the Golden Dragon to practice from 5:30 - 9
or so, come home, crash, do again. Saturdays I got to practice from 7 -
- Sundays sometimes we would take turns hosting practice at homes. Went
on for years.
Oct 27 1995, Normal Day, My office was down the hall from new Outpatient
Entrance, Fast access to hospital. Then the alert :
Hero's
The shooter hit and wounded 17 soldiers from the division's 325th
Airborne Infantry Regiment as they left an athletic field. He shot three
other soldiers who tried to stop him, wounding two and killing Maj.
Stephen Badger.
Order Amidst Chaos
During those intense hours that day, I remember very clearly what looked
like chaos. It reminded me of a MASH episode where Hawkeye and Trapper
are working triage for wounded soldiers. Yet there was a very firm
steadiness. I knew my priorities :
- Help stop bleeding
- Ease pain where I could
- Provide comfort and support
Those 3 simple emphasis for me, kept order in the chaos.
Why Do I share this memory with you?
It occured because of my committment to train to be a better person with
kungfu. I made life changing decisions that put me in the position that
day.
That your experiences can teach you what is important, and what is of
lesser importance.
Lesson to take today
Life is short and can change in an instant.
Find time to be grateful for someone or something while you are here.
"We may not all agree on the politics that are involved, but I encourage
you to agree on supporting those young men that put their lives on the
line, both abroad and at home to provide us with the freedom to be happy
and to complain."
Get out today, practice, remember someone. If you were any way
associated with the events of that day and hear my message today. I
would like to hear from you. If there is anything I can do, I will.
Resources For Today :
The only resources I want to list for this episode is :
"I support and ask you to contribute a couple dollars to the Wounded Warrior Project. I wrote them the following :
I am releasing a podcast this wednesday, Oct 22, 2014 to our growing
community. It is in regards to my involvement in the Oct 27,1995
shooting on base. I will be asking listeners today and for years to come
to donate directly to the Wounded Warrior Project.
I just wanted
to let you know :)
www.tibetankungfu.net"
Sifu TW Smith
Don't let me down. Whether you are listening this in 2014, 2020, or long
after I am dead. I greatly appreciate you sending even a single dollar
to those who need our support.

Chinese Martial Art Curriculum
Often we are asked about an Overview of what we do here. Over the course
of years I was trained in many styles and understandings. All the
systems point back to the same root, you.
You practice Kung Fu not to perfect a style, but to master yourself.
Regardless of your reason for practice, this will show up.
This takes time to grasp in your heart, but then the understanding that
it is all the arts "two hands and two feet" really resonates.
Principles that Drive the Curriculum : www.tibetankungfu.net/curriculum
During the process we will teach you and show you how every system and
style originates from:
- All movement begins in the seed of stillness
- Training of the mind always precedes training of the body
- 3 directions of your centerline
- 8 expressions of movement
- combining these and changing whether they are practiced bilaterally,
or in various directions all alter the one original expression
Students of the kwoon and many of the private students begin with
foundational processes of calming, centering, self awareness and health.
They venture from there. Occassionaly a student wants to begin on a
particular path, like Yang
Tai Chi or Ba
Gua and they explore from there.

Powerful Life Force 2 : Belonging. It's essence has numbers of techniques. Click, congregation, gang, team, group, click and many others. It really reveals its power when it comes into Family, Love and Relationship.
This has derailed good Kung Fu and Tai Chi Training perhaps more than any other force that I have seen over the years.
Identify all the faces of Belonging,
Get a collar and leash on this powerful force.
In this podcast I will share some personal stories, how I was taught to ask questions about it, to get the power closer.
Thank you for signing up and leaving a review. It means a lot to me :)

Transition from a busy day, to a calm one
Is going from 100 to 1 causing a mental "JackKnife and Pileup"?
Been there, MANY times :)
- How to Transition from a Busy Day using Mindful Tai Chi and Ba Gua
- Avoid "Mental JackKnife" by hitting the brakes too hard
- How does Meditation fit into Martials Arts?
- If you practice Hop Gar or Southern Style Choy Li Fut here with me
This episode brings us to an almost seasonal concern that students don't
feel they have enough time to practice. A busy life makes it hard to
make the time, but even when you do make it.
How do you transition from "Warp Speed" to "Calm Body and Mind"?
My clinical and corporate experience gave me an excellent opportunity to
learn how. Avoid the "Mental JackKnife" that can occur if you go from
100 to 1. :)
We reference a few of the workshops and classes that are coming up, you
can see down below.
The KungFu
Bootcamp is going fantastic. Looking at going through it again very

- Points of Entry
- Weakness - glass by front door, in between street lights, privacy
fence (good place to hide), Stryker (1975 CJ 5 open vehicle). 3. Duct tape the deadbolt to buy me a few seconds 4. Place bottle on gate for rattle 5. On high alert - got things organized 6. Pretty secure, got my own covered 7. What about my neighbors? Are they on their own?

Why do a Summary?
Something that I look for on podcasts, but don't find often. A summary
of recent activities or "wake" helps me generate perspective.
What have we done so far? How have We Done?
This type of review also reminds me of something I intended to do.. and
ooops, I forgot.
My son and I spoke about his organizational skills. Then we pause a
moment and assess how is current effort and techniques are working.
It is so easy to get caught up in our current frustrations, focused on
current barriers, demands of our time, that *we forget what we have
worked through*. Where we have made progress and we can see motion if
we take time to look.
This applies to work, home, learning bagua, understanding a strategy,
performing a technique, I encourage you to take a moment and assess.
So, to practice what I am encouraging.
Thank You Dawn for your recent kind Facebook
comment,
"Wow! Another treasure! I am happy and so very grateful to know that the
wisdom and lessons you are sharing, both in the podcasts and in the
kwoon are a part of my evolution and growth. Thank you!"

TKF 009 Cut through the Chaos
4 Steps to Getting thru the Fog of Life
Getting through the Fog of Chaos in 4 steps is a Podcast that resonated with me as a Maritime Meditation long ago. It is the narrative story of facts how SeaMen navigated the sea’s before 1100 AD. The magnet compass was created in 206 BC, but not implemented into sea navigation until 1107 AD.
There are 4 steps that I share with you to:
-
recognize your situation
-
assess your status and contributing factors
-
orientate yourself even though you can’t see through your senses and experience
-
choose a new direction
KungFu was practiced upon ship decks, particularly in Southern China. With visibility less than 100 yards, knowing how to survive when you were lost at sea wasn’t just theory.
You will learn which questions to ask and to avoid asking until later. Also I will share with you what real illusions that you must be aware of when you get lost in a fog.
For my students, I take you through the Maritime Meditation, which is about a half hour to walk you through step by step, liven your senses and teaches you how to Captain your own ship.
Let me know if this episode has meaning for you, please :) Sharing helps others as well.
I really appreciate your review.

www.tibetankungfu.net/kungfubootcamp
A 90 minute Meditation workshop will be coming next month.
In this Podcast of Tibetan Kung Fu: We will discuss you fascia:
What makes up fascia?
How does fascia work together for muscular stability?
How is fascia different than nerves, in sending messages?
How is fascia related to physical health, mental and physical health?
Why is important to me as a kungfu practitioner?
How do I train it?
PDF Outline Available
We often get lost in the what appears to be “separate issues”. With some reflection, and “Quieting the Heart”, we can find thread that will point to Common Denominators.
When learning kungfu, whether for martial, medical or health, you have to be able to slow your mind down enough to see the links.
In a story with Ava, you will see how she realizes their is a connection and then learns how to explore it deeper.
How we find the common denominator can vary, thats why I take each person individually in the journey. However, the tools we use to get there are similar, Tai Chi, Chi Kung, BaGua Walking, and Quiet the Heart meditation.
During this episode is the story of Ava, a young lady that pauses in her life to ask "why do I keep finding myself in these unpleasant situations?"
This triggers investigating ourselves, without judgement, but awareness.
Thank you to Dian - Subscribing to our Youtube, Mr. Adair - iTunes and Mr. Harper - Email

Essential BaGua Components
Bagua is one of the most unique Chinese Martial Arts. Before that, two components were part of the famous meditative Taoist Quan Zhen practice, dating back to 1170 AD.
This week’s episode is to share a summary of BaQua as it relates to the Martial Art and to it’s original components. I also wanted to address FAQ regarding the upcoming workshop in July.
Attached is a recording of me going through a BaGua Chikung workout at 4:30 am, before the day begins. There is a link where you can download the workout as a separate mp3.
I am excited about the privilege to be a guest speaker with Excel4Apps again this year. We will be discussing “Excelling with Balance”. A principle that is utilized in kungfu to keep us safe, while moving forward.
There is a summary of history that comes from one of the best known researchers of BaGua Zhang, Professor Wang Ge Wu.
We announce the upcoming KungFuPodcasts.com show. With it’s much broader scope and planning to history, culture, medicine and other influences of the Chinese Martial Arts.
Your feedback is welcome at www.tibetankungfu.net/contact/.
Thank You for reading through and sharing your time.

How do you keep your mind strong during adverse situations?
Good Kung Fu emphasizes training your mind as much as training your body.
If your habits and techniques are the bricks that create your action structure,
then your thoughts and confidence is the mortar.
The strength you need during difficult times will not be in the brick, it is in the glue.
With a system of mindful motion through styles such as Tai Ji and Ba Gua, students become aware of Phase 1, Stabilize the Mind.
There is a story about Trent, who learned his techniques were not enough.
Main ingredients for training your mind.
How you can use Chinese Martial Art or other practices to gain confidence during the challenging times.
Thank You for Reading through this. I would really appreciate our review or feedback.
Sifu TW. Smith
Having a foundation and direction each day is paramount in life and training. My son and I start the mornings with a 3 minute meditation to get a direction. It has helped me as a father. It has helped him in knowing his responsibilities and dealing with personalities at school. Working the mind, ultimate kung fu :)
In the podcast is a link to separate mp3 file of just the meditation.
During this episode there is an update to the Ba Gua Workshop coming on July 26, 2014
Sifu TW Smith of Tibetan KungFu on the advantages and challenges of weaving together various styles of kung fu over years.
What is the purpose that drives the training? Excellence of …?
Hsing Yi | Hop Gar | Tai Ji | Ba Gua | Chi Kung | Choy Li Fut
Changing your environment, even for a weekend can stir your energy.
Each year for several years our Kung Fu family pack up and go to the beach to re-establish our practice.
It is not a publicized venture. It is time for longer Tai Chi Chuan practice. Lots of standing meditation ( Zham Zhuang ) and seated meditation for many too.
This year we focused on training Ba Gua Zhang on the beach, and Yi Chuan, Hop Gar as well.
