The 6 Dragons Kung Fu’s method

The goal of our school is to create a bridge between:

The reason for this moltidisciplinary approach is that where others see dispersion, 6DKF identifies connections.

Let’s see a few examples:

Why study the ancient weapons? – The weapon educates the arm, the arm becomes one with the weapon, the arm becomes a weapon (read also Learning the use of weapons)

– The weapon educates the arm, the arm becomes one with the weapon, the arm becomes a weapon (read also Learning the use of weapons) Why practice meditation? – The mind manages the moods, the emotions do not control the body, the body is free to express its maximum potential (read Become the absolute zero)

– The mind manages the moods, the emotions do not control the body, the body is free to express its maximum potential (read Become the absolute zero) Why use softness? – Softness gives for example speed, rigidity offers impact power, their continuous re-mixing ensures combat unpredictability (read The path to the soft movements)

– Softness gives for example speed, rigidity offers impact power, their continuous re-mixing ensures combat unpredictability (read The path to the soft movements) …

Why a holistic approach

It is not a question of randomly mixing different things but of correctly positioning the tiles of a wider mosaic:

What can be superimposed is fused

What is incompatible is simply flanked

What is excellence in martial arts?

The real excellence lies not in possessing a single capacity at the highest possible levels since none of them is capable of replacing all the others

Excellence consists in always having an advantage over our opponents and only a multidisciplinary approach (combined with a serious and daily training) can guarantee it

A note by Master Kongling – Only near the end of our martial path we choose a specific skill to develop at the highest level: after years and years of consistent preparation.

Let us reflect for a moment:

What is the use of having a powerful body if our mind is more fragile and manipulable than a child’s?

W hat sense does it have to concentrate on a single method of fighting (or training) if it has evident disadvantages that could be easily filled by other types of approach?

Why strive to be rigid if this makes us controllable, slow and exposes us to unnecessary dangers?

What is the point in mastering myriads of personal defense / fighting techniques if we do not know the legal contexts in which to apply them (read Best martial arts for self-defense)?

…

The sources of 6 Dragons Kung Fu

6 Dragons Kung Fu is based on chinese Kung Fu and in particular, it is strictly related to the ancient methods of Shaolin Temple (many of which are rarely taught).

The core inspiration, however, does not prevent us from collecting the best settings, exercises, techniques and methods from other oriental / occidental, past / present martial arts.

Starting from the Shaolin Temple, we abandon all prejudice and sterile rivalries to teach for example:

Concepts inspired by Japanese culture like Ninjutsu (the Sanshin practices), Taijutsu (from the various ryuha), etc.

Concepts inspired by Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do

Modern MMA’s training methods and fighting tactics

Principles from Wing Chun, Silat, Systema, Yoga and much more

…

A note by Master Kongling – Kung Fu is not a tradition and it never been (contrary to what a lot of people think). Kung Fu it is something that constantly needs to evolv, if we do not want it to be surpassed in effectiveness (read MMA vs Tai Chi 10 seconds knock out: an explanation). The time to be mind-closed it’s ended. To reach real results, it is fundamental to: maintain what is good, leave what is not useful and absorb what is functional, no matter from where the experience comes (as the ancient masters have always done after each confrontation).

Final notes
