Post 212    August 02, 2015     A WORD FROM G.M. For this month of August I would like to show you a fighting technique called Exercise THANG-MOC- MUC (Thẳng Móc Múc) which is largely known from the program of VoViet and VietChiDao. -You will take more advantage from the Exercise THANG-MOC- MUC if you carefully notice the side of hands and legs for each different move (left, right; south, north)  I wish you a wonderful continuing summer filled with JOY and PEACE.  G.M.P.H POST 212 EXERCISE THANG-MOC -MUC This popular technique is also known as Don Bay-Nep (Đòn Bẩy-Nếp). Bay-Nep is the name of a famous martial art fighter living at the 1940s in the then very troubled area Xóm-Củi (Wood Fenders People) of Saigon. This technique is one among some others well known techniques from his legacy. According to what people told me and what I have found at the end of 1950s, Bay-Nep also learned the Gồng technique called  Gồng-Chà-Kha from Thất-Sơn Mountains which gave him a ‘surnatural force’ to accomplish many prouesses. At this very poor and unsafe area Xóm-Củi (Wood Fenders People) there was a small noisy bus station from where old buses took people down to other towns, south of Saigon: Can-Giuoc, Can-Duoc, Go-Cong. Bay-Nep worked there with multi activities for a living and for a fighting life of  protecting his people. This southern area was rich in history as it has produced a number of famous and heroic people. Even today, those names touch my heart each time I think of their stories: Nguyễn-Trung-Trực, Bà Đùng, Bà Đề, Trương-Công-Định, Nguyễn-Đình-Chiểu and many others. Bay-Nep was born half a century later comparatively to the above heroes, and he was not a known figure in the Vietnamese History. But for me I knew he deserved to be remembered, I knew it because for four years, 1958-1962, I regularly came to  Xóm-Củi where there still were some people who knew him and some other guys trained themselves with some of his techniques. THANG-MOC -MUC  Cette technique populaire est également connu comme Don Bay-Nep (Đòn  Bẩy-Nếp).  Bay -Nep est le nom d'un célèbre combattant d'art martiaux des années 1940s dans le quartier  de Xom-Cui (quartier des fendeurs de  bois) à Saigon. Cette technique est l'une parmi  quelques techniques bien connues qu’il a laissé comme héritage. Selon ce que les gens m'ont dit et ce que j'ai trouvé vers  la fin des années 50s , Bay-Nep a également appris les techniques  de Gong appelé Gong-Cha-Kha  à That-Son (les Sept Montagnes) ce qui lui avait donné une "force surnaturelle" pour accomplir de nombreuses prouesses. En son temps, Xom-Cui (le quartier des fendeurs de bois)  était un très pauvre et dangereux quartier. Dans ce quartier  il y avait une petite station d'autobus bien bruyante où les gens prenaient  de vieux autocars  partant  vers d'autres villes, au sud de Saigon comme Can-Giuoc, Can Duoc, Go-Cong. Bay-Nep travaillait ici par diverses activités pour vivre et aussi pour la vie d’un combat qui protégeait  son peuple contre toutes sortes d’oppresseurs. La région au sud de Saigon a été riche en histoire de combattants et elle a produit plusieurs personnages célèbres et héroïques. Même aujourd'hui, les noms de ces héros touchent encore mon cœur  à chaque fois que je me rappelle de leur histoire: Nguyen-Trung Truc, Ba Đùng, Ba De, Truong-Cong-Định, Nguyen-Đình-Chieu et bien d'autres encore. Bay-Nep, né un demi-siècle plus tard comparativement aux héros ci-dessus mentionnés, n'était pas un personnage connu dans l'Histoire du Vietnam. Mais pour moi, j'avais su qu'il méritait d'être souvenu. Je savais cela car pour quatre années, 1958-1962,  régulièrement  je venais à Xom-Cui ou il y avait encore de gens qui le connaissaient. Certains gars dans ce quartier s’entrainaient encore à ses techniques   PAST POST June 2013  TORUN and the HOUSE OF COPERNICUS At 4:30 PM Friday 31 May 2013 our small team -four guys and G.M- arrived at the door of the House of Copernicus in Torun, Poland. We did feel likely going back to the 15th century and meeting with Copernicus in person! What an unforgettable trip. x x x x   PICTURES TWO MOUNTAINS LAKE
