the Pa Kua Chang (Ba Gua Zhang) of Lu Shui-Tian.
from Master Park Bok-Nam.
The Pa Kua Chang of Lu Shui-Tian
The Chinese Internal Method
for
Superior Health and Devastating Self-Defense
= Pa Kua Chang Kung Fu =
(a.k.a. PaKua, Pa Qua, PaQua, Ba Gua, BaGua, Ba Gwa, or
BaGwa)
is one of the foremost internal systems in the Chinese
martial
arts.
.
.
= OUR MOTTO =
.
"Wisdom,
Benevolence, Sincerity,
and Bravery"
.
| These four words comprise the motto of Master
Bok-Nam Park's Pa
Kua Kung Fu School and the Ch'iang Shan
Pa Kua Chang Association. They
represent
four important ideals that Lu Shui-Tian
believed
all Pa Kua Chang (Ba Gua Zhang) practitioners
must
cultivate and embrace. |
.
- Wisdom - because
without
wisdom, a student
will not be able to grasp the depth of Pa Kua Chang and will not be
able
to develop his or her understanding to a high level. Wisdom is
required
to make progress; the student must "think deeply" and research
thoroughly.
|
.
- Benevolence - because
without benevolence,
a student's pride, ego, or arrogance takes control. The Pa Kua
Chang
practitioner must remain humble, show respect to everyone, and promote
goodwill towards others. And, Pa Kua Chang must never be utilized
in an improper or unjust manner. Benevolence is required and
grows
with the cultivation of wisdom.
|
.
- Sincerity - because
without sincerity and a
serious commitment to training, a student will not make sound progress
and will not be able to develop his or her skill to a high level.
The student must dedicate himself or herself to the art, and must honor
the heritage of the Pa Kua Chang of Lu Shui-Tian and Master Park.
Lu Shui-Tian stated that "the instructor does not teach the student;
the
instructor merely presents knowledge and ideas -- the students, in
truth,
teach and train themselves." Sincerity is required and grows with
the cultivation of wisdom and benevolence.
|
.
- Bravery - because
without
bravery, a student
will lose his/her skill in a confrontation. A student
needs to remain calm and clear whether facing an opponent in a sparring
session or in a serious fight, and must learn to conquer and control
his
or her own fear. To understand Pa Kua Chang completely, the
student
must study and research the fighting side of Pa Kua, as well as the
health
side. Through the cultivation of wisdom, benevolence, and
sincerity,
a student's bravery comes from the heart and is not derived out of ego
or arrogance. The Pa Kua Chang fighter must do what is just and
what
is required when a confrontation is necessary. And when a
confrontation
is necessary, the response must be immediate and without hesitation.
|
.
| Knowledge and skill come at a price and with an
obligation.
The obligation is responsibility -- the responsibility to use
one's
knowledge with wisdom and benevolence, to execute one's skill with
justice
and bravery, to uphold one's heritage with honor and sincerity, and to
present one's achievements with accuracy and humility. This is
what
we believe and this is what we promote. |
