		FOLK DANCE AND MARTIAL ARTS    Post 669       August 10, 2024
		Folk Dance and Martial Arts For many, folk dance is often regarded as just another traditional dance form, one among various styles ranging from classical to modern. However, I see folk dance as something more profound -it is a hidden piece of history, preserved and passed down through generations within a specific community. Folk dances often encapsulate the daily life, customs, beliefs, and historical experiences of the people who first performed them. As such, they are vital components of a nation’s cultural identity, expressed through movement. These dances help preserve the unique traditions and stories of a community or nation. Serving as elements of cultural heritage and symbols of pride, folk dances can imitate the movements of animals, celebrate the harvest, or honor deities, creating a bridge between the past and the present. By examining folk dance through this historical lens, we can uncover various hidden aspects of the culture it represents. In this context, I perceive a connection between certain Vietnamese martial arts forms, known as “quyen,” and the foundations of folk dances. Like folk dance, Vietnamese martial forms mimic animal movements, honor deities, and convey historical narratives and strategies. Therefore, studying them in this way could elevate the practice of Vietnamese martial arts to a higher level of national culture and spirit, transcending mere combat techniques.

		WAY OF PRACTICE      Post 668  August 03, 2024
		WAY OF PRACTICE Mastering martial arts demands deep training and great patience. The key to success lies in the willingness to persistently train. You have the option to practice alone or collaborate with a small group. Training with others can provide motivation, support, and social interaction. Whether you prefer independent practice or group sessions, our exercises can be tailored to meet your unique needs and schedule. This makes them an excellent choice for anyone looking to enhance their body-and-mind performances.  Charles Phan Hoang Post 668  July 27, 2024

 

 

 

 

FULL VERSION OF 

VO HA

GREAT SUMMER

 

POST 668  August 03, 2024   VO HA    GREAT SUMMER

In this post, you will find the full version of the form (quyen) VO HA, titled "The Summer."  The form VO HA comprises four exercises:   KHAI MOC: Exploring The Forest HOA SEN: The Lotus Flower SANG SONG: Crossing The River RONG NUOC: The Water Dragon   SYMBOLS AND WISDOMS OF THE FOUR EXERCISES: KHAI MOC: The Forest The forest symbolizes vitality. Occasionally, it is beneficial to set aside life's worries and spend a moment in the tranquility of large trees. Mother Nature helps us regain strength and clarity. The forest also represents the vastness of knowledge; reading a good book is akin to exploring a forest of wisdom. Developing a habit of reading good books is essential.   HOA SEN: The Lotus Flower The lotus flower symbolizes purity and beauty. This principle should be applied to all aspects of life, including our thoughts, actions, work, self-care, and the maintenance of our belongings.   SANG SONG: Crossing The River This exercise is inspired by the closing mantra of the Heart Sutra (Prajnaparamita Hrdaya Sutra/Bat Nha Tam Kinh) in Sanskrit: "Gate, gate, paragate, parasamgate. Bodhi Svaha." This translates to "Ending all sufferings, arriving at the shore of Enlightenment."   RONG NUOC: The Water Dragon According to an ancient myth, the Vietnamese people are descended from a dragon lord (Lac Long Quan) and an immortal mountain fairy (Au-Co). The dragon symbolizes the emperor and the nation's power, offering protection to the people and water for agriculture. There are five versions of the dragon: the Iron Dragon, the Wood Dragon, the Water Dragon, the Fire Dragon, and the Earth Dragon   Charles Phan Hoang, post 668, August 03, 2024
