Summary

## Key takeaways - **Wing Chun's core is health, not fighting.**: The primary purpose of Wing Chun and its foundational practice, Shulin, is to enhance health and fitness, with self-defense being a secondary benefit. The true essence lies in refining the body, breathing, and mind. [07:33], [11:35] - **Mastering basics requires 1000 days of practice.**: True mastery, even to the point of becoming a beginner, requires at least 1,000 days of dedicated training. This principle, echoed by Mas Oyama and Buddhist teachings, highlights the depth of practice needed for genuine understanding. [12:53], [15:00] - **Lack of foundational understanding hinders progress.**: Many practitioners lack a clear 'landscape' of Wing Chun's core elements, such as refining the body, breathing, and mind. This absence of fundamental understanding leads to fragmented learning and an inability to progress effectively. [08:31], [10:30] - **Refining body, breath, and mind is key.**: The entire practice of Shulin, whether for healing or martial arts, is fundamentally about refining the body, breathing, and mind. This continuous process of refinement, like peeling layers of an onion, leads to deeper understanding and improvement. [03:57], [20:13] - **Lifestyle changes are crucial for health.**: While refining the body, breathing, and mind through practice is vital, it must be complemented by changes in diet, sleep, and overall lifestyle. Without these holistic adjustments, the benefits of practice may be limited. [36:43], [40:10]

Welcome to this channel. This channel is

for educations and culture based on

historical and scientific evidence.

So these few days

many of our wingers friends have chat

with me asking me on the training of

Sulin

and uh it turns out that

even though I have shared many YouTube

for this past two weeks on details of uh

Wing Chun and Shulin,

none of these friends got it.

Even the very basic, they don't get it.

So there's one thing happened this past

few days.

Another thing happened this morning is

one of a really

well-known

professor

in the university in Taiwan

who also is a expert

in the Chinese healing art.

Okay.

passed away.

She have the age of 60.

So she passed away.

She's a very good person.

Now,

so this professor

was diagnosis cancer

when uh

at her age 42,

which is 18 years ago.

And at that time,

the doctor told her that she had only

about six months to live.

And uh of course because he is really

a uh practitional

of the Chinese

uh

healing arts. She be able to live until

now which is 18 years later.

Her father is a Taiishi grandmaster.

Her father's teacher is a top tai chen

grandmaster.

So of course she is a professor in

Chinese culture in the university.

She learned all this thing. and she be

able to help herself

at least expand extend her life for 18

years of of course she went through the

uh western medicines

in combinations with uh her

Chinese healing practice.

So with this

wing chin friends

have issue in the uh learning of shima

and this uh

there's a Chinese professor passed away

I make this YouTube to share with you

all

seriously

the entire

is based on

refining the body,

refining the breathing, refining the

mind.

And in refining the mind, one need to

call oneself back as what I share

already in the past few YouTubes.

Refining the breathing, it is tougher

because you need to get into the subtle

breathing and so forth.

And then refining the body where you

need to

know how to handle your body, the seven

bowls and so forth.

Well,

it doesn't matter it is the shulim

practice or the healing practice uh like

this uh professor who passed away.

It is all based on the

refining the body, refining the

breathing and refining the mind.

How do we do it in uh in in town? Well,

the 1850s

writing the first sentence saying that

calling yourself

calling your conscious back

in the

equal shoulder stand or EG kamyama.

And I have already make a YouTube few

days ago to explain to you

how to do the eG kamyonga and how to

calling yourself back

in the YouTube.

That is the very basic of our wing chun.

So that is the first

sentence of the 1850

uh sulim to classic is

to build the foundations of

refining the body, refining the

breathing and refining the mind. That's

why in the YouTube I I share that you

can you know using your easy kamyoma and

then calling yourself back and then you

can stand there like

to let your breathing

run naturally.

So all this as what I share in the

YouTube is a natural pace

refining the body the breathing and the

mind it's a natural place

is

you don't use effort or deliberately do

anything

you let things surface

so as in the dering is Thou mimic

natural.

In the 1850s

Shima writing another writing it say

that spontaneously allow

the breathing the chi

to flow naturally. That's what it is.

Now

you want to have fe healing art. You

want to develop your martial arts.

Remember I say that wing chun is for

fitness for your health and then for the

self-defense and first one ought to

develop this fitness

and uh so both this about self-defense

and

fitness

all of this have to based on the first

writing of the uh Surin 1850 which I

share in the YouTube that is the

teaching.

Okay. Now

so

there's a problem here.

A problem.

A problem that in today's world

people do not have a landscape on what

is going on.

How is that thing trained?

And thus like today's in the sulima

practice

there's no landscape to tell you that oh

you know uh this uh in the selium tower

there's a six core element but the first

thing you need to develop

your body your mind as your breathing

and your mind you want to refine that.

Okay.

And then only that you come with your

chi flow, your your force flow, your

momentum and then you get into fighting

know which is a six core element.

People don't have this landscape in

their mind. They don't know what it is.

So they will say this teacher is right

that grandmaster is right. This is the

teaching from this Wingchun, king of

Wingchun or you know whatever title or

grandmaster

and then they start to adding oh Bruce

Lee is for Wingchun. Bruce Lee do too.

See he uh Bruce Lee adding or or using

the the the western science

and then somebody who practice Tai Chi

will say about this Tai and everything

everything chi internal power.

Now the issue is if you don't see that

it is a self-defense is a it is uh the

the entire art is about the fitness and

self-defense

and it is within it have the six core

element and then it start with refining

the body the breathing and the mind and

you have to be proficient with that

then what are we going to train

you cannot train anything because you

don't have the big the landscape. You

don't know the details and it just piece

by piece here like try to merge in uh uh

no connection pieces like oh this sulim

to according to this lineage is from

this grandmaster and he must be right

and then uh oh you know Bruce Lee is

doing sulima too and uh this uh he's

using the western science and then uh

there's chi inside there that's

mindfulness that is the uh mind power

all kinds of stuff you see all this

scattering around it doesn't piece up to

to tell you what it is

so I share with you just now again I

just repeat again wing chun the shim tow

design is for

the primary the most important base is

for your health and your fitness what

you're going to use it for daily okay

and support the self-defense and part

which is the momentum play

and

the really really fundamental is to to

refine your body

your breathing and your mind.

So that is the first sentence of the

1850 shulim to

writing

calling yourself back in the equal stand

that's what is the teaching is about

now

once you know this

you need to keep training drilling it's

not sitting down there. I believe this.

I believe that uh this grandmaster, that

grandmaster, what is the point for that?

What is the point for that?

So, so the real kung fu disregard of

Chinese or Japanese.

Now I share with you one uh one sentence

once uh teaching of Mas Oyama. Now,

since I'm a Kyokushi,

Mas Oyama's teaching do the young

beginner students say

after 1,000 days of training, one become

a beginner or one become a beginner

after 1,000 days of serious training.

That is the way I was trained in Kushin.

That is the same way I was trained

in wing chun and other arts.

I study the six healing sound. I spend

thousands of hours

the wing 1850. I spend thousand of

hours.

Now it doesn't mean that I am what

expert or grandmaster. No. Why?

Because

Masoyama

is telling the truth. One become a

beginner after 1,000 days of training.

And by the way, this one become a

beginner after 1,000 days of training is

a teaching of the Buddha's teaching

in the avatam saga suta

that that is what it is. you want to

study uh the the Buddha Dharma or

Buddha's teaching that's how it is.

So like the other day in my YouTube I

said on this EG Kamyama YouTube I said

go you once you know this you know the

uh the attainment you need to get to you

uh you have the practice and then the

verification the APV

then you do 200 hours

And then after 200 hours you will know.

So

uh like me I have to do like mas oyama

taught

after 1,000 days of training one become

a beginner. One become a beginner after

1,000 days of training.

So you not be able to understand what

I'm talking about because I went through

that 1,000 days of training and become a

beginner. But you guys never go through

that.

None today in this world who practice

yim ever go through that. This is not to

boast myself and not being not humble

but to tell you seriously.

So

what can you expect?

So it is like you go to a gold mine. No,

your father own a gold mine. You went

into the gold mine but you don't know

there's the gold mine. You don't know

what is gold.

So

this morning when I heard about this

this professor passing many people say

well isn't it that uh she is the famous

guy in Chinese healing and everything

somebody's question her in the in the

in the web and I just told them human

have different lifespan

and she did really well already for be

able to extend her life for 18 years.

Imagine if he doesn't have that that art

if she doesn't do that practice like I

share with you what myama taught.

See I am nobody but you need to listen.

You need to follow like Mas Oyama and

all the the Buddha's teaching. One

become a beginner after 1,000 days.

Today you look at people who who

practice Yulima

who have done

1,000 days of serious practice into

every details.

Just ask that.

People talk about fighting and all this

this this this this. Well, I'm doing

wing chun. My wing chun is better than

your wing chun. Uh I do research on

wingchun. Uh I debang you

serious.

Do you know even how to call yourself

back in the eg kamyonga

which is the practice of the very basic

of refining your body, your breathing

and your mind.

It's very easy to to to spot people for

that. You really go through that one

become a beginner after 1,000 days of

training to practice that thing I share

with you.

You just look at the the the the person

whoever make act like the grandmaster or

authority. You look at their body, you

know that they never ever train that

way. They don't have the skill.

You know sometimes people mistake thing

because human body is uh really

different.

Some born more healthy. Some born more

longer life

and some were born more aggressive and

have bigger muscle and bigger frame. You

look at in wing chun

people are actually not because of they

know wing chun but because of their body

is bigger, they are stronger and so

forth. So they can fight. But imagine if

you got into the situation like the

professor who passed away in Taiwan,

how many day they can last once they was

announced in that uh in that situations.

When you are young, sure you know if if

you are young, you can say well you know

I get healed from uh this disease that

disease. But when you are 60 up to 50s

seriously what can you do?

So people is just acting big

and yet the art of wing chun the very

basic of sulim

nobody really pay attention to do it

properly and to to really develop it and

the reason is if people don't tell you

that the ancient is saying that you

refine your body refine your breathing

and refine your your mind. So the entire

sulima sets when you do it

if if your mind have the goal

or the uh attainment

is for to keep continue re refine your

body your breathing and your mind it can

never be wrong.

So you say well Henry are you serious?

Yes, because if you keep refine your

body, keep refine your breathing and

your mind, you going to go like peeling

onion layers and layers and you can say

how come I do that yesterday.

Something is not not natural. Something

is not right.

You refine it again

and you say, "Oh, I know. Why do I do

that?

So the entire thing the very basic is

just you put in your mind okay this is

stop to to get into this grandmaster is

right that grandmaster is right because

the entire thing is you got nothing to

do with anybody

so you got the sium tower and you're

just thinking okay

like the other day I share with you the

methods of the s the eg kamya and

calling sell back and the and those

thing. He said okay I just practice this

one thing

and the goal and the way how to do it is

just keeping refine my body keeping

improve the body handling keeping

improve the breathing and keeping

improve the mind

you do it for 1,000 days

like mama say then you know oh this is

really a beginner

I now become a beginner

But if you have never go through that

just you don't know you don't know what

is what people is talking about.

Okay. So this has got nothing to do with

uh can you fight under pressure?

Why don't you fight me? Call you out.

You know who's the best fighter?

This called Wing Chun.

ring chun mean that can you please show

me do you know even the very basic

instead of getting into those thing

about fighting fighting I'm better than

you all those kind of thing which is

violating all the

shaolin

rules violating the general chiuang

rules those are not Chinese

those are not Chinese masha those are is

something which is like a tuck fighting

or bullying in the village or so forth

though those are not the teaching of

wing chun you're keeping preaching that

thing

at the end you don't even know the very

basic like the

we don't even talk about just the simple

so this is the thing if you miss is

one become a beginner after 10,000 days

of training.

Training on what? Training on refine

your body, your breathing and your mind

and keeping continue doing it.

If you're missing this is completely

missing the point,

you don't know wing chun.

That's what it is.

And you have no way to help your body to

recover to strengthen your body.

Sure, people with a born strong or this

and that a better DNA, you can say

whatever you want. But when you're hit

by sickness or anything,

how you going to deal with it?

is just talking big.

So like today this professor even she is

she know it those thing her body have a

limitations

but well at least you know she extend

her life for

18 years that I salute. How many people

can do that?

How many people get into like their what

ovary cancer or something like that

where where western doctors say hey you

know you're only six month and you can

do that and be able to have the process

you know the details

and uh we in this this this human world

we we go through this this is suffering.

So Wing Chun is not what in the movie in

the

in the if thinking in terms of the movie

like the Bai movie like the Hungam

uh this Yinbu movie

and then you have this Bruce Lee picture

and then you have this uh Taii

and then you call that the Sulim towel

there's the wing no it's not that's not

what the Chinese say Chinese have as

well I share with you it has tell that

This Buddhist art is about

keep yourself healthy and then for

self-defense. And I just I don't want to

repeat what I share with you. That's

what it is. You have to do the big

picture. And the first step you always

have to spend thousand of days

into refining your body, refining your

breathing, refining your mind. The more

you refine, the deeper you go, the more

you can see then expand out the details.

That's why it call the essence of detail

training. If you don't keeping refine,

refine, refine, how the hell you going

to see anything which is in details.

So this is what I like to share with

you. Okay? There is no magic. The entire

thing as soon as you put in your mind

that this practice is about I have to

focus mindful on refine my body, refine

my breathing and refine my mind.

You are on the right track and you

keeping doing it, keeping doing it,

keeping doing it. After a thousand days,

you look back, you say, "Oh,

I learned this much." Yeah.

And then when the body don't feel

comfortable, you say, "Oh, is this now I

need to take precautions. I need to go

see doctor."

It's not boasting like I have chong. I

can heal you.

You look at the body and you can see

right away whether it's you get or not.

Sometime people are just lucky,

okay? They heal from a disease or

anything. think they're plain lucky.

When you're hit by the real one, see how

much you can handle.

Okay?

And if you don't know this, you look at

the tragedy of of Bruce Lee.

Okay? You can make any claim from Bruce

Lee, but in terms of the Chinese

culture, you know, he got he don't have

it.

Okay?

And with all the internal all this thing

you know they are selling snake oil or

emperors

uh

new clothes. Now I saying this of course

is going to piss off many people a lot

of people mega people.

So do you think I'm idiot to say thing

this way

where I don't make money and everything?

I tell you why I tell you this.

This is an AI world, artificial

intelligent era.

We human better know how to handle our

body like this professor.

This professor

who passed away.

So she got the the the cancer

and then when she get refining her body

her breathing and her mind

or this so this refining the body the

breathing and the mind is using the

ancient language so he he's doing his

cultivations

when he get deep enough right away he

release on whatever were his his

thinking before like oh I need to do

this I need to do that he released the

entire thing

and then he follow the ancient sage

to live a life so that no so he got 18

years

so so that's how it is okay

it's not like this is the tools to

achieve what I want it to be. No, you

need to know this body.

So,

what has this got to do with AI world?

Well,

you look at this professor 18 years ago,

he found out that this is the way to

live.

So, she dropped whatever this is she's

not supposed to do

in this AI world. If you don't have this

capability,

it is really really

a disaster.

Many people get sick friends and

everything around me who get sick

who don't intention who don't intend to

drop what he is doing

even though they went through medicine

Chinese medicines uh western medicines

and chong whatever

once they get checked that their body is

clear they went back to the do the same

work within in 3 months that sickness

come back and I have even met

uh know one friend in Taiwan

after she was healed and uh you know all

thing is well

uh doing chemo therapy everything is

well.

She was working in a lawyer lawyer

office and I said, "Can you afford that

uh not going back to work?"

And she's well to do.

Her her husband is in high-tech too.

And she said, "No, you know, uh she can

handle it.

See what happened."

Three months we lost her. Just three

months after that we lost her.

So this is what we face in in this this

era.

Okay. And

I I share this with you is because your

shima you all have train.

What is so different? What is so

difficult? You just tell yourself oh I

practice shula. It's not to mimic

anything. It doesn't matter I'm sloppy,

I'm rigid, or whatever. My goal, my

goal, my job is just what?

Refine my body, refine my breathing, and

refine my mind.

Just set that goal. So simple. And then

you see how you progress, how you you

you'll be happier because you know your

body, your breathing, your mind better.

Okay. So, it's not about beating

somebody or I can beat you, I can slap

you, whatever, whatever. It's about do

it for yourself.

Now, about this 18 years prolonged life,

I want to tell you a historic account.

So uh

in the third chapter of, uh, my my book,

uh, Wing Chun Nong code,

I was uh,

as soon I was uh, transferred the the

the the teaching of Msui 1,400 years

ago. to English so that you can read on

chapter chapter three and you can know

why is that a sing to danten or or focus

in danten those kind of thing.

So what happened is that his brother

this Mangsu's brother

is a general at that time at that

kingdom

and he met a Dowi's master and Di master

look at him you know his color in the

face and everything said you only have

three months

you better go home right now to settle

everything because you within 3 months

you'll be gone go back to your wife live

with them and so forth

And uh she get he get really scared and

he get really sad. He went to

Mangu said

you just follow what I

show you here. So what he Muin show his

brother is what you know I try to share

in the very basic in the in the chapter

three of my book uh the uh the the the

wing chun uh nong code

which is about the Chinese

uh in details uh explanations of samata

and vipasana which is teaching of the

Buddha.

So the brother is is practicing that.

Okay. Practicing that

and uh after two years

he mo he met this uh master again the

dowist master. Master said how come you

don't die? And he said, "Well, because

my teacher uh my my my brother is

actually the uh the advisor of the

emperor Mui who taught me this."

And he said, "Yeah,

you really be able to change it." Yeah.

See? So he lived for another how many

years? 16 years. So he live another more

16 years before he passed away.

So this is this is how it is

you know we all have our DNA and

everything every human being

we might not be able to change thing a

lot but we can live to our limitations

like this morning I I I share with some

friends I say this professor in Taiwan

even though she passed away at 60 but

there's his limitations s but she didn't

pass away when she was 42 because of

that practice to change the entire thing

but then you look at this professor she

even changed her lifestyle.

So you need to refine to keeping refine

your body, your mind

uh your your body, your breathing and

your mind

with a proper uh diet with the proper

sleeps or resting time and of course

with medicines and then you need to

change your lifestyle in order to do

that as what I have seen. Okay, with all

this thing

and if you read the uh the chap third

chapter of my book or you can go in if

you know Chinese uh or you know the

English versions

uh the Chinese

the beginning contemplating and uh uh

the beginning

uh concentrating

or calmness calmness and uh

contemplating

teaching. Okay.

So that's what it is. Life is not that

difficult.

Things are simple. If it's not right,

you need to change it. You need to keep

refine it. The issue is this

on even once you know this, not those

magic chi nonsense BS, okay?

You need to have this clear know what is

the ancient Chinese really teach and

then you have to follow as what mas

oyama's teaching

one become a beginner after a thousand

years of training without that is

guarantee you go nowhere that is the

training of the ancient okay the ancient

Buddhist

is Chinese is Japanese is Korean it

doesn't matter better human that is the

teaching okay so this is what I like to

share with you I'm not whining I'm

trying to tell you to get the message

across

people in my generations start to

passing I might go some days

okay and this information this message

about Wing Chun if you care about Wing

Chun you care about yourself. You need

to have this understanding.

Some days when you need it, you know,

oh, this is a possibility there.

And you always need

to refine. Okay. To to to to how do they

say that? to to refine your diet

or to to improve your diet. Know what

diet is good for you? your sleep and

resting,

your body,

your breathing and your mind and then

get medical help

and then change your lifestyle because

if you say well I just practice shulim

to you know I refine my body my

breathing and my mind while I doing

shulim to say I do one hour

but then that is 20 another 23 hours

there.

So you want to change your lifestyle so

that your lifestyle is actually

supporting

or mutual supporting your practice and

your the way how you live. That's what

how it make a difference.

You can see that in the in the history

of China is records.

If you don't change your lifestyle, you

practice this kung fu, you never be able

to change much.

If you change your lifestyle, you do not

know the refining, you will not be able

to change much. But if you do both, that

is where things change.

So this is what I like to share with

you. Please, please, please

keeping thinking about what I'm sharing

with you in this YouTube. Okay?

If you do not know how to do it

because you cannot call yourself back

like many people

just write down every sentence you know

you go to the YouTube you put on the

caption

every sentence every words I said you

write it down

after you write down the entire thing

for your notes then you will know what

I'm talking about because many people

today have already developed the h bad

habit that they cannot call themsel

back. Their mind is scattering.

So you cannot learn. So you need to have

this. So this is actually calling

yourself back is refining your mind.

Isn't it? This practice isn't it?

You have this you do it for

say 200 hours you can see the

difference.

And according to masoyama he say that

what one become a beginner after 1,000

days of practice or training. So this is

what I like to share with you. You know

the truth,

the words of truth is not sugar coding

and uh it is got nothing to do with do

with our ego or or humble or whatever.

Truth is truth. This is what it is.

We need to learn that.

That's why I tell you my my my zifu late

venerable version what the Zen patriarch

put in in front of my face when I was uh

23 age 23

some 40 years ago

at that time I already uh university

student

I'm a distinction student

just tell me if you never experience

said shut up

that's going to delude you

and he said that in the in the Buddha's

teaching if death come right now will

you be able to handle it if you cannot

handle it then you keep learning keep

refining

I mean of course I lost faith right in

front of 200 people there and half of

them are are

monks and nuns.

I have to swallow it. But he's right.

So that's what I like to share with you

today. Okay.

Life is short and we all have will go

some days. But hopefully you learn wing

chun, you learn to your become a tools

to help you to live a better life.

help you to get more healthy. Don't

think about this fighting fighting

stuff. More healthy and uh have a clear

mind be able to live uh uh with a with

with with a with prosper.

Okay,

that that's number one thing. That is

the purpose of Wingchun.
