    SiGung Charles recently returned with the group after a successful

    tour of China and Tibet. I hear from many who went on thetrip how they were in awe of the beauty and sacredness of theplaces they visited, in particular the Potala Palace in Tibet animpression that will remain withthem for the rest of their lives.That reminds me of our ownsacredness- our place, ouracademy. They too have a specialmeaning. So as a reminder,heres what our training hallsrepresent.

    And while you train, there are also some protocols you need toobserve. Below are the main ones:

    Bow when entering or leaving the academy.

    Bow to your instructor before and after the class.

    Bow to classmates before and after partner work.

    If you have to leave the class, for a special reason, bow to theinstructor first.

    When returning to the class, bow to the instructor and resumeyour place.

    Address the instructors by their titles (such as Dai Sifu, SiGung, Sifu, Si Hing or Si Jie) at all times. These titles have beenearned by and awarded to individuals by their superiors afterhaving reached a very high level of competency, proficiencyand expertise in their art. So we ask you to respect them as theyrespect you.

    Another area of concern is hygiene. Please make sure a high levelof personal hygiene is maintained when you attend classes. Inparticular, body and shoe odour must be kept to a minimum.

    The Knifehand

    The knife hand strike consists of a front knife hand or back knifehand depending on whether the palm is facing up or down.It has been used for centuries in many martial art systems. It isapplied using the edge of the palm or region from the little fingerdown to the top of the wrist. Many people would be familiar with a

    karate chop referring to a front knife hand in Kung Fu.The application can be used to target areas including the side andback of the neck and collarbone for offensive techniques with wristand arm points for defence. Some other systems like Karate andTaekwon Do also use a reverse knife hand, striking with the edge offirst knuckle by moving the thumb towards the little finger to targetfacial points.

    The knife hand strike is used to target several specific pointsand is generally limited to the side and back of the neck with theexception of the collarbone, which is used in Dim Mak. Thesepoints are Stomach 9 (ST 9) which is located on the side of the neckdirectly on the carotid artery and Governor Vessel 15 on the back of

    the neck located 5 fen above the hairline where a small depressioncan be felt. These targets are both death points and even a lightblow can cause a knock out, delayed or instantaneous death.

    Beginner level Kung Fu introduces the back knife hand as alevel one self-defence technique against a hook punch and highroundhouse kick. With a similar hand shape to the mid sectionblock, a new practitioner can easily develop a follow up of backknife hand strike once a midsection of double vertical block hasbeen initiated, as the hands are already in the correct position forstriking.

    To begin using this technique as a method of attack, from a fightingstance position, the front hand should be raised up to the side of

    the head in a small circular motion with the palm facing the ear.From here the back hand can be used to clear the opponents guardas the knife hand whips around continuing the circular movementtowards the selected target (ST 9). A slight hip turn is also requiredto ensure maximum power is generated. Turning from a high horsestance to Riding Dragon enables this.

    The front knife hand strike is generally a more advanced technique,as it requires a higher level of skill to generate enough power tobe effective as a whipping action must be applied and takes muchpractice. It is initially introduced in the elementary five animalsform which concentrates on the training of evasive footwork to getbehind an opponent and then follows with a strike to the back of

    the neck. We also learn during black belt training that it is used (asa black belt blocking technique) by manipulating your opponent toopen a specific target (ST 9) by blocking, clearing and striking witha front knife hand.

    Dim Mak uses the knife hand as a self defense technique in a morebrutal and viscous sense, by striking and slicing delicate pressurepoints to temporarily or permanently paralyse and immobilise,which then allows the practitioner additional time to follow upwith devastating and deadly finishing techniques. For examplethe back cross step and slicing knife hand can be used in defenseagainst a hook punch, by slicing Lung 9 (a point located on thewrist commonly where you would check your pulse) and following

    with a mid range pouncing knee strike or inverted square fist toConception Vessel 17, in t he center of the chest.

    Attacking techniques include the file tap punch theory howeverapplied slightly different to target side points, resulting in a file,trap and back or front knife hand depending on whether the Yin

    or Yang side of the body is targeted. These pressure points can be

    found in Dai Sifus books the Top 36 dim mak pointsor the DimMak Manual. Overall the knife hand is an extremely good weaponwhen used as a defensive technique. It is simple to use, it can targetpressure points located on the arm and wrist causing paralysiswhich gains additional time for the practitioner to follow up withmore devastating techniques.

    As an offensive technique it can only be applied in limitedcircumstances depending on the availability of target points.However the severity of these points makes it a formidable toolwith minimal effort leading to maximumdestruction. The knife hand is definitelyone of my preferred techniques especially

    when accompanied with a short stabbingpounce sidekick smashing the leg and necksimultaneously.

    When Sifu Chrisee asked meto write an article for thenewsletter about our amazingGolden Lion trip to China andTibet, I realised that our group of

    21 enthusiastic travellers, rangingin age from Caleb, in his earlyteens, to Barbara, at 82 yearsyoung, had experienced enough towrite a book, so instead of tryingto cover everything, I decided towrite about the part of the tripwhich I think most of us wouldsay was the highlight and thatwas Tibet.

    Wow! Where do I start? Thebeautiful, gentle, devout people?

    The fascinating history? Thewild, un-touched scenery? Thefabulous, spicy food? The religious sights? Let me tell you some ofmy wonderful memories, more personal than historical you canalways read about that on the net.

    I can certainly tell you that the altitude was a rather vital part ofour trip. Our first taste of high altitude and to see how we wouldcope with it, was a couple of days before flying into Tibet, at EmeiMountain. Bumping along precariously narrow and curvingmountain roads in our not-so-modern bus, our driver was contentto steer one-handed whilst chatting on his mobile phone, happyto overtake the occasional motor bike carrying dad, puffing on a

    cigarette, with mum sitting side-saddle nursing a couple of kids,a few bunches of bok choy and possibly a string bag of squawkingchickens; not one helmet between them! Never a boring moment onChinese roads!

    Exclaims of excitement greeted our first sight of snow, before wejumped into a cable car to take us up one section of the mountain.This was followed by a struggling climb up some very slippery,uneven steps, through heavy mist until we were high above thecloud line at over 3000 metres above sea level. For everyone theclimb was laborious and our hearts were beating ten-to-the-dozendue to the lack of oxygen, but some of our g roup were alreadysuffering more than others, so were reasonably easily coaxed into

    being ceremoniously carried in sedan-style chairs. Nervous squealswere emitted from beneath the copious layers of jackets, beaniesand scarves, as they were carted up (and I think probably morefrighteningly, down) at a rapid and bumpy rate of knots, whilstlounging in their makeshift seats strapped onto bamboo poles onthe shoulders of 2 willing and able sherpas. Fortunately for theanxious passengers, those fit and wiry sherpas were as sure-footedas mountain goats and a good deal more confident on the slipperysteps than the rest of us.

    Back down the mountain we visited the pandas at Chendu, anotherwonderful highlight of our trip, but thats for another story anotherday, because the next morning saw us on the flight to the highestairport in the world, Lhasa, capital of Tibet, home of the PotalaPalace, which was the residence of the Dalai Lama, and 3650 metresabove sea level.

    As the biggest single group of tourists to enter Tibet, we weregreeted by a wonderfully friendly smile and ta she talek (hello)

    from our Tibetan guide, Tsewang,who, in a traditional welcometo Tibet, draped a white silkscarf around each of our necks,followed by a double-fisted bow

    and a few gentle and personalwords of welcome. Tsewangwarned us to move very slowlyto keep the effects of altitudesickness to a minimum.

    However, despite a restful eveningand slowly walking the seeminglyendless corridors to our rooms,like post-operative-ward patients,more than half our group weresoon feeling the uncomfortableeffects of high altitude

    headaches, breathlessness,dizziness, tightness in the chest,

    tingling in the fingers and toes, and general aches and pains.

    But the magic of opening the curtains the next morning to a freshfall of snow on the Himalayan mountains surrounding our hotel,sun shining from a clear blue sky on the imposing, 7th century,Potala Palace, majestically perched on the side of the mountainhigh above the clouds, was enough to warm each and every heart.Despite any discomforts, we excitedly set off for the day, bundledup in thermals and layers, later to be discarded piece by piece as theday became hotter and hotter.

    Sucking on our drink bottles (several litres of water a day to help

    ease altitude sickness is a bucket load to put away) we puffed ourway up the steps of the stately, (annually whitewashed) Palaceand despite our shaking muscles and quaking knees, we wereenthralled by the outside and inside alike. A maze of gloriousroom after peaceful, colourful and elaborately embellished room,containing beautiful buddhas; boxes of prayer sheets; murals;burning yak-butter candles; prayer flags; rich, ethnic arts andcultural treasures; the rooms being used by the most recent andprior Dalai Lamas to receive guests and to pray.

    Whilst walking back down outside, we were shocked by the sightof local women carrying large rocks to be used for building, ropedto their backs, readily climbing the steep steps that we had earlier

    laboured up carrying little more than a drink bottle and camera.We vowed to never complain about hard or heavy work ever again.These women, like all the women in Lhasa, gazed shyly at us withtheir twinkling, curious eyes, faces covered from the nose down,not due to pollution as the air was crisp and clear, but to stop thefierce, burning sun from browning their skin as pale skin is seen byTibetans to be beautiful.

    Swarthy, leather-skinned, Incan-featured nomads dark,beardless men with hair in long plaits and mothers carrying babiesin bundles, all heavily clad in rustically coloured, natural fibres ofwoven layers or animal pelts, had spent days and weeks, living ondried yak, (yes, we tried yak too, chewing our way through various

    delicious, spicey recipes, washed down with tepid, unusually-aromatic yak-milk tea) made their way as pilgrims to the Palace topay their respects and pray.

    Later we were to see the extensive and very fit, gentle-faced,elderly population of Lhasa circling the Palace multiple times,

    approximately 8 kilometres a day, always in a clockwise direction,spinning prayer wheels and working through their prayer beads,to later meet up with their friends for a leisurely coffee and lunchbefore retiring for an afternoon nap.

    Needless to say, our group of intrepid explorers not only enjoyed theopportunity of mixing with the locals and admiring the religiousand culinary delights of Tibet but also were equally enthusiasticshoppers. At Barkhor Street we were all anxious to bargain for our

    own souvenir prayer wheels, and prayer flags; singing bowls; wovenscarves; stones and beads threaded on silver or leather thongs;ornate and elaborately handcrafted bangles and necklaces; ethnicdolls and turquoise and coral jewellery.

    Unfortunately, due to the political situation between China andTibet, there is a high army presence around Lhasa. Young, fresh-faced Chinese soldiers, undoubtedly conscripted and in occupation,cruise the streets, bearing kalashnikovs and belts of bullets, andare a sad reflection on the treatment of Tibets beautiful, peaceful,kind and friendly, deeply devout people. How comforting to see theTibetans determidly retaining their culture both in their dress andin their attitude to life and religion.

    Outside the 15th century Sera Monastery the following day weheard raucous and excitable voices inside were about 50 ormore gentle-faced Sera monks, bare feet in leather sandals, withtheir clearly well-nourished bodies swathed in russet-red robes,debating. In the morning they had attended philosophy classesand at this noisy session in the afternoon the enthusiastic seniorswere coaxing and questioning the often-reluctant juniors as towhat they had learned. Stepping back to take a run-up, the seniormonks would slide their rosary-like beads up one arm then rathercomically launch themselves forward and with a special, palm-smarting slap of the hands, would point at one of the students, andexpect an instant answer. If correct, another question would befired, perhaps directed at a different monk, or if the answer wasincorrect then the back of the hand was slapped into the palm untilfinally the correct answer was made. Scary stuff for the studentwho had dozed off during morning class!

    Praying is an intrinsic way of life for the Buddhist populationof Tibet. Our guide, Tsewang, would Postulate 3 times each

    morning clasping the hands in a prayer position, they thenlay completely prostrate on the rough ground, then up again torepeat this twice more. Others, locals or pilgrims, often repeatthe Postulation hundreds of times. We were very touched whenTsewang told us that Buddhists dont pray just for themselves, butfirstly for others all around the world, for peace and harmony forall creatures, and last of all they pray for themselves. To a Buddhist,all major religious traditions carry basically the same messageand are likened to climbing different roads up the same mountain,all taking individual paths but with the same aim that is love,compassion and forgiveness, all of which form part of the daily lifeof a Buddhist.

    The Dalai Lama said, This is my simple religion. There is no needfor temples; no need for complicated phi losophy. Our own brain,our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness

    The kind and gentle atmosphere of Tibet had certainly worked itsmagic on all of us. I think we were all rather overwhelmed withemotion to be leaving this amazing country. We had seen andexperienced so much in our 3 short days in Tibet, so were sad andreluctant to bid a fond farewell to our delightful Tsewang.

    We were to spend the next 22 or so hours crossing Tibet into Chinaby train, through snow-capped Himalayan mountains, across vastand arid plains, past enormous glass-like lakes and glaciers, theoccasional yurt (homes made from circular, domed tents), yakand horses often guarded by lone herdsmen, climbing to over 5000metres above sea level, before descending towards the next step inour adventure.

    From all of us on the Golden Lion trip, heartfelt thanks (or tooshe she in Tibetan) go to Si Gung Charles, Master Tang, Sifu Di,and Sifu Chrisee for giving us the chance to take a little sip fromwhat I suspect is a huge bowl, and maybe one day we may be luckyenough to return for a bigger taste of peaceful, wild, dramatic and

    untouched Tibet.For more pictures of the trip go to: www.goldenlion.com

    Kung fu instructor Justin Wongaccredited by the Australian Sports Commission

    Congratulations to Justin for successfully completing theNational Coaching Accreditation Course. Justin i s nowbestowed the title Si Hing. Below is a story of Justins

    martial arts experience.

    Istarted Golden Lion Kung Fu back in 1996. Prior to that, Idid other styles. The more prominent being Wing Chun.Altogether the system that I was instructed in didnt reallysuit me. Subsequently, I began to look close by for anotherschool. Whilst looking for other schools, I saw GoldenLions publicity but never approached it as it wasdifficult for me to travel, so I stuck with WingChun for some years and various other styles aswell. I took a couple of years break from martialarts as juggling school assignments and martial artsseemed a bit too much.

    Consequently, around early 1996 I began looking foranother school, and Golden Lion was persistently at the backof my head. However, this time I was more prepared,wiser and mobile, so I decided to call in at theRowville branch. I was working very close to theclub at that time. I was greeted by Sigung Richard.He described the style being taught, and I knew thiswas for me. As a result of the discussion I joined upwithout even trying out the class.

    Boy, was that first day intimidating! Visual awarenessof black belts and a bunch of other advanced students

    doing their stuff. Certainly my groundwork was not strong andeverything that I learn at Golden Lion is tough, with plentyof emphasis on endurance, stamina and strength work. I amcompelled to persevere; humility, I will take on board; andpatience, I will await. And you know what? It gets better the longeryou train. You get tougher. Your stamina intensifies, a nd thecalmer you turn out to be. I kept on going. I was hooked. It is apleasurable addiction!

    Every grade represents its challenges, and at the time when Ireached level five, I started to realise that I was training for myblack belt. This meant hard work, very hard. It is something thateveryone should not take lightly. So with that realisation I beganto work towards my objective. It was a long process, because I tookmy time levelling up, I have a standard that is very hard on myself.

    Then the day came when Sifu Steeve approached me and said, Youare going for your black belt at the end of the year I thought he wasjoking. You guessed it. He wasnt. So what did I do? I trained to thepoint of breaking. I believe you have to go past your breaking pointto improve. As a result I had my first preliminary with Sifu Craig,which was an enduring five and a half hours grading. I anticipatedit to be hard. He pointed out my wea k points, so I could improve on

    them. Four months passed and the second preliminary was withSifu Steeve. As all of you know by now, with Sifu Steeves teachingmethod - No mucking about, flat out, yeah, two hours of it. I was

    beginning to cry now, knowing that in few months time, my thirdpreliminary would be with Sigung Richard. I dont even want to go

    there or talk about it.

    There are two considerations that you must choose, asto which direction you want to pursue, and this is todo with being an instructor or just a normal black belt.So prior to my black belt I decided to venture towards

    the instructor side. From time to time, you often geta query from a learner, and this can merely be

    Where I should stand, how should I kick, andwhere do I put my left hand? etc. Well if youhave the mentality of taking, taking and tak ing,

    its hard to give, give, and give. Its not how youinterpret it but more about how you should

    elucidate it. Teach to learn so you can learnfrom teaching. This is a good thing, is it not?

    So on December the 11th on a Saturday I hadmy grading and successfully passed. It

    was a two-hour session that felt like aneternity, but in a pleasant way. Live

    in the moment, I always say. Thisachievement has taken me almost

    15 years to accomplish.

    Having a black belt tied

    around your waistline,means hard work,dedication, humility,respect, etc. This is where

    training and learning reallystarts. So what do I benefit from being a black belt, you ask? Well,for me black belt is always about strenuous work, humbleness,tenacity and self-control. It is something I dont take lightly.The beneficial viewpoint is that I can apply those qualities toeverything I do in life, as well as being healthy.

    While studying for 2nd degree, I began to give thought tocompeting in tournaments. The outcome from other students

    achievements have kind of spurred my competitiveness. So I havedecided that this year I will compete to qualify for next year WorldTraditional Wushu Competition in China. There is no goal per sefor me, but it is something that I have to do in my life-time.

    My objective is to take my goals one footstep at a time, and berealistic. Each step in life brings me to other goals, if you get whatI mean.

    New research on pain relief

    Arecent article in the Herald Sun newspaper on Monday, May9th reported; In the Journal of Neuroscience, researchersat Wake Forest Baptist Medical Centre in North Carolina (USA)published a paper showing that meditation reduced pain intensityin a group of adults with no previous meditation experience.

    Checking this study out on the web was very interesting from a TaiChi point of view.

    First of all the people in the study had only a little over an hour ofmeditation training and showed better results than the researcherswould have expected from pain reliving drugs like morphine.

    Secondly the meditation was described as: Focused attention is aform of mindfulness meditation where people are taught to attendto the breath and let go of distracting thoughts and emotions.

    Doesnt this sound very like Tai Chi and Chi Cultivation?

    Many students at the Golden Lion would heartily agree that Tai Chihas given them enormous relief from chronic pain and that theydidnt have to wait long to feel the benefits.

    Check out this research at the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Centreweb site and also go to the Golden Lion Tai Chi website:

    www.tai-chi-fitness-for-health.com

    for more on research into the benefits of Tai Chi.
