LUYEN GONG Contraction Training

1.CONCEPT

Method of Contraction Training LUYEN GONG

LUYEN - GÔNG ( luyện gồng) is a Vietchidao method of training to develop extraordinary force (strength) both physical and mental. It consists of contraction of muscles in/on different parts of the body while performing a specific exercise. In the end of the movement the contraction is to be held for a few seconds. Each exercise must be repeated at least 9 times for obtaining a good result. Breathing method: Basically the Lung-Breathing-Technique is good to most cases while Belly-Breathing-Technique (Tho Bung) could be applied for advanced training.

2.EXERCISE -Please see pictures on Post 424, 425

In this Autumn Program, for the practice of Contraction Training, LUYEN GONG, we have selected a form called NHAT LUYEN GONG, meaning Daily Training of Contraction which comprises five movements. Each movement could be detached from the whole form to be executed as an independent exercise.

1.Exercise KIM, Iron

2.Exercise THUY, Water

3.Exercise MOC, Wood

4. Exercise HOA, Fire

5. Exercise THO, Earth

Please see the five attached pictures.

In this Part One (Post 424) you are invited to learn by executing at least nine times each of these five exercises. Further, in the Part Two (Post 425, next week) we will deal with the meaning and advanced issues.

3.SYMBOL

The names of five exercises in Nhat-Luyen-Gong correspond to the well-known names of Five Elements: 1.KIM, Iron; 2.THUY, Water; 3.MOC, Wood; 4.HOA, Fire; 5.THO, Earth

However for the purpose of this contraction practice the following symbol for each exercise is to be understood as follows:

Exercise 1. Father.

Exercise 2. Mother.

Exercise 3. Friends

Exercise 4. Critical Thinking

Exercise 5. Love.

4.MINDFULNESS

Our mind has a great influence on our life. So each one of these five exercises does contain a thought for mind reference in our training. The original teaching is embedded in the following Vietnamese poem from which we will try to adapt the meaning for each exercise, in the context of this Post 425.

“THIỆU NHẬT LUYỆN GỒNG -Phan Hoang-

Trời cao đất rộng là cha

Đại dương tuyệt diệu ấy là mẹ tôi

Bạn bè chung thủy trọn đời

Chân tâm xâu thẳm rạng ngời tuệ quan

Tình yêu chân thật vô vàn

Sống trong nhân loại biết nhường biết tha./. ’’

Exercise 1 (Father). The immensity of the sky teaches me, like a father, vision and direction.

Trời cao đất rộng là cha

(PLEASE SEE PICTURES ON OUR WEB)

Exercise 2 (Mother). The wonderful ocean shows me, like a mother, how generous life is.

Đại dương tuyệt diệu ấy là mẹ tôi
