Congratulations Upon completion of this level you will have successfully completed your Primary Kung Fu levels. From Red Sash onwards you are in the secondary levels, much like High School. With this also comes a higher degree of responsibility (Yang) and accountability (Yin)!
Achieving the Red Sash is a bit like a mini Black Sash. If you have completed the theory aspect of the KIiT or Instructor Training Program you can choose to start teaching Children. You may be assigned to assist an Instructor regularly (if you want). You will more often than not be asked to be the Instructors demonstration partner. But as mentioned, this all depends on you and your . . . Attitude.
This second part of your progress to Mastership is very significant. As you have setup a good habit of training and performance so far (and this will get you through to Black Sash) you need to start challenging yourself, yourself, upping the ante a nte and setting up new and more proactive habits.
From Black Sash onwards, I become more of a Guide and Mentor rather than a Motivator and Teacher. It is very much like going to a University. You choose the subjects and the path; Liang-I will supply the support, help and guidance. But you will need to supply the Motivation and Energy! In other words, will you continue to be a minimalist and j ust do what is required? Or will you become proactive and start putting back into the club; only this will prepare you for a successful path post Black Sash. If Black Sash is all you wish to achieve; you’re fine the way you are. If you wish to become a Shaolin Kung Fu Master, now is a good t ime to start going ‘above & beyond’.
This means that a higher degree of self-training and learning is required from you. It is the st
equivalent of reaching your 21 Birthday and your your parents telling you that it is time for you to see the world. Once you reach Black Sash, to give you perspective but also opportunity, you will be asked to spend a Journey Year; train other martial arts, possibly even achieve another Black Sash in another style (which you should be able to do in a year or so as a Liang-I Black Black Sash). Then when you come back to Liang-I training, training, it is no longer as a Junior but as a Brother; training to become a Master.

Shaolin Temple the Legend One of the reasons Shaolin is so well know is that is made it into the Cinemas! Would Paris be more famous than downtown Hamburg if US Films would not have made some many films about the (Free) Paris after the war in the 50’s? Would we know so many US city’s if not for again all the US films? But to truly understand Shaolin, we need to separate ourselves from the interpretations of this media and look at the real Shaolin. For this reason, a little bit of history; but just the key points. Shaolin was built around 495 CE (Current Era rather than referring to a religion) as a result of the actions of a Buddhist Monk travelling though China from India. It was again a Indian Buddhist Monk and Prince who visited Shaolin some 40 years later and instituted the 18 Hand Exercises. He was also the founder of the “Zen or Chi’en” principle of Buddhism.

Buddhism had come to China officially for the first time during the Han Dynasty (25-220 CE) in the form of two monks who came back with a Chinese delegation that was sent to India for this very purpose. Buddhist monks She Moteng and Zhu Falahn came with a White Horse full of Buddhist Sutras and Buddhist Figures. A temple was built for them to translate the sutras and spread the word; the White Horse Temple. There were many ups and down with Buddhism during it’s 2000 year history in China. Even the Shaolin Temple did not always adhere to the pure Buddhism infusing it with Daoism and Confucianism (the three major philosophies of china). Shaolin Temple come to Prominence during the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907 CE). All of China had one of it’s first Golden Eras during the Tang Dynasty as it was a period of prosperity, cultural growth and Buddhism.
The Tang Emperor came to power after a very unruly period towards the end of the Sui Dynasty. Only three years after coming to power the Emperors son was captured in a battle by one of the last remaining Sui Dynasty Generals. Why the Emperor turned to Shaolin Monks for help is not know but he did. The monks consented to help as they were dependant on the Emperors good will in many ways. In the battle of Qianglingkou the troops of the Emperor with the help of 13 Shaolin Monks under the leadership of Monk Tang Zong were successful in routing the rebels and saving the Emperors son. When the Emperors son was crowned a few years later he was very generous with Shaolin monks and an era of very close cooperation started between Shaolin and the Imperial Court.
It was a few decades later Pirate incursions in Fujian Province threatened stability and

prosperity in Southern China and the new dynasty needed help. At the Emperor's request, three of the (now) legendary 13 Shaolin Cudgel fighting monks, Dao Guang, Seng Man and Seng Feng, led approximately 500 warrior monks south in the early sometime around 650 CE. to engage in battle against the pirates. They helped the Tang soldiers and the coastal area of Fukien was secure again.
It was a very important are in China at the time. It was a centre of commerce 500 years and more before Shanghai was more than a village. The Tang Emperor bade the Shaolin to stay and gave them a Temple in the Village of Putian.
Although there would have possibly been a number of Shaolin Temples, there are three more that stand out an each of these has a reason for being Shaolin. But you would know this from reading the Previous Workbooks!
Key events so far for Shaolin were 1. the Building of Shaolin by an Indian Buddhist Monk named Ba Tuo. 2. the introduction of health giving exercises to Shaolin by Bodhidharma also called Ta Mo 3. The 13 Cudgel Champions saving the Tang Emperors son. 4. The Shaolin 500 establishing order in Fukien and thus gaining the 2
nd
temple.
th
Around the 9 century still in the time of the Golden Era of the Tang, three events came in a very short succession, the least of this was the inclusion of the Wudang Temple into the Shaolin Order. As Mt Wudang came to prominence during the Tang Dynasty is would be easy to reason that the Tang Emperor would have asked Shaolin to be involved and given them a temple there..
It was towards the end of the Tang Dynasty when a rich and noble young man gifted in martial art skills came to Shaolin. He was so good at what he did that the Shaolin Monks cooperated with him

in revising the 18 Hands Exercises to the 72 Fist Kung Fu. Yet as good as this was Chueh Yuan did not feel that this was as good as it could be.
Travelling, he came across an old man being attacked. He want to the aid of the old many but unnecessarily. By the time he reached him to help the old man had downed the attacker without the use of much force sending the attacker to the ground, seemingly unconscious by the time Chueh reached them. This maneuver obviously impressed Chuan enormously and he introduced himself to the senior. Much to his surprise the old man did not know much of martial arts and what little he knew he had learned from the local master Pai Yufeng.
Pai Yu-feng was a friendly 50 year old and Chuan convinced him to accompany him back to his temple. Over the next few years they, using the 18 fists, the 72 movements and these 'pressure point techniques' redeveloped Shaolin Kung Fu into the 170 exercises. This being a combination of grappling and pressure point usage. Although some credit him with the creation of the Animal Styles this is not very likely.

After the Tang Dynasty came a Short Unruly period which probably contributed to Martial Art training being more wide spread. During the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279 CE) ‘Civilian’ organizations came to being that promoted and taught martial arts. This was a totally novel concept hereto in the world. Some local masters took on apprentices or a family style was passed from one generation to the next but having a ‘School’ of kung fu was new.
Up until now only military organizations, occasional masters and of course Shaolin t raining martial arts. Now there were commercial schools that also taught. This lead to the first Golden Era of Martial Arts in China. Many even introduced the concept of Gradings!
The cat was out of the bag and it did not take long for numerous styles to come into existence. This may also be a time where the concept of ‘Style’ may have been founded outside of military organizations and Shaolin. Again came another period of some unrest. There was some overlap between the Liao Dynasty (916 - 1125 CE) and the Western Xia (1038 - 1227 CE) before the Yuan Dynasty (1279 - 1368 CE) united China again. Martial Art continued to flourish during this Era.
Some organizations or clubs cantered on the use of spear play and cudgel, and they were called Yinglue Organizations; while others majored in the practice of arching and therefore called Arching Origination. Performer called Luqi People made a living by performing martial arts all over the country. Usually the performances were carried out by a one or two people. It was in this time, when martial arts flourished, that many picked up the concept of Animal Kung Fu!
Although there may have been Kung Fu styles that used Animal Symbolism, non recorded to this time actually tried to emulate animals! It exploded. Some records suggested that this also happened in Shaolin with possibly over 100 Animal, Insect, Bird and Reptile styles being recorded. Whilst some of these did amount to full styles, many were only a small set of movements, possibly with one or two secret technique that had a twist or some special movement. It was towards the start of the Ming Dynasty where shaolin systemised all these styles into on Style represented by 5 facets; the 5 Animal Style. Rev -56, , 21/06/2011

Techniques that were based on Power and Strength were rolled together into Tiger; Styles that used the Power of the Mind and Speed were allocated to the Panther; Styles that overcame greater strength and speed were allocated to the Crane and styles that focused on Control and Knowledge of the human body were allocated to the Snake. Yet, to complete the system, the Dragon was added to represent the Development and Defence of the Human Chi. The concept was way ahead of it’s time and reject by all except the Shaolin. It di d lead to Animal Style combinations and there are some exceptionally interesting single and two animal styles that came from this era, but nothing ever achieved the completeness of Shaolin 5 Animal Kung Fu and most, even now days, still do not understand the magnitude of what was created and how complete it is!

What we learn from all this? nd
There is no skill without foundation. Even a 2 rate martial artist will tell you that for this is not the issue. The issue is, what is the foundation?? Often, the question is more im portant than the answer! So here is the question . . .
If the foundation is so important, what part is the foundation and how deep does it need to be! Is the foundation Strength, Speed, Stamina, Timing, Targeting, Technique, Flow, Foundation, Knowledge, Experience, History . . . .what is the foundation to your martial arts?
Well this question you need to answer for yourself for only this way will it be of value as the journey is more important than an answer. The world is full of answer, just go on the internet and any question you ask, someone will give you the answer. The question is the key.
What is the most important of all foundations?
I (Sijo) have an answer, took me a while to get there but I now understand what is my most important foundation. I understand that all my martial art life I have been working on this foundations . . . and I still am.
Many martial arts have what they consider i mportant. Following are some examples from ‘the WEB’; MMA - “With today's tough competition, one of the key aspects to becoming a successful mixed martial arts fighter is impeccable information” http://www.articlesbase.com/articletags/mixed-martial-arts GMA - “Your progress in the martial arts is generally a result of three things: Training, Instruction, and Natural Attributes. This post is relevant to the ‘Training’ aspect, which in my opinion is the most important of the three.” http://rizsmartialartstraining.blogspot.com/ RMA - “Movement and control of balance and space are the key things we practice and we do this through some highly unusual training methods.” http://aberdeen.gumtree.com/aberdeen/28/23484228.html (mma = Mixed Martial Arts, GMA = General, RMA = Russian . .)

Footwork, rapid hand work, listening to your teacher, know your patterns, apply it in t he ring, tradition, long line of unbroken ancestry . . . .and so on and so on.
When the propaganda and opinions are set aside than most experienced martial artists will agree on many of the following key skills as being important in martial arts. ☯
Foundation, footwork, balance & posture
☯
Hand, eye, foot & movement coordination
☯
Flexibility, agility, grace and elegance.
☯
Timing, targeting, technique and delivery
☯
Breath, core-strength, calm and alertness
☯
Focus, self-control, discipline and clarity
☯
Knowledge, skill experience and wisdom
And the list continues into everything a human being might want. But we still do not have an answer as to what is “What is the most important of all foundations in martial arts?” I believe that all this contributes to being a good martial artist but what is the most important?
And there again, we see that asking the right question eliminates a whole lot of marketing and wish list answers. For, any answers you get come with a price, but do you always understand what the price is and are you willing to pay for it?
If you find the answer yourself, you will have paid the price for it!

The 7 Senses of Focus If we are to explore our ability to Focus, let us explore if there is more than one meaning to the work and which of these we are ‘focusing on’. Read through the 7 senses of focus and see what you think!
Sense 1
the concentration of attention or energy on something; ``the focus of activity shifted to molecular biology'' concentration, engrossment, absorption - complete attention; intense mental effort
Sense 2
maximum clarity or distinctness of an image rendered by an optical system: “in focus”; “out of focus” distinctness, sharpness - the quality of being sharp and clear
Sense 3 maximum clarity or distinctness of an idea; “the controversy brought clearly into focus an important difference of opinion” clarity, lucidity, pellucidity, clearness, limpidity - free from obscurity and easy to understand; the comprehensibility of clear expression Sense 4 nidus - a central point or locus of bacterial growth in an organism; “the focus of infection” point - the precise location of something; a spatially limited location; “she walked to a point where she could survey the whole street” Sense 5 special emphasis attached to something; “the stress was more on accuracy than on speed” emphasis, accent - special importance or significance; “the red light gave the central figure increased emphasis”; “the room was decorated i n shades of grey with distinctive red accents” Sense 6 focal point - a point of convergence of light (or other radiation) or a point from which it diverges point - the precise location of something; a spatially limited location; “she walked to a point where she could survey the whole street” Sense 7
a fixed reference point on the concave side of a conic section point - the precise location of something; a spatially limited location; “she walked to a point where she could survey the whole street”
So, what do you think? (source - http://www.notredame.ac.jp)

In our case we favour the definition in the first Sense;
Sense 1 focus, focusing, focussing, centring focusing, focussing, the concentration of attention or energy on something; “the focus of activity shifted to molecular biology” concentration, engrossment, absorption - complete attention; intense mental effort From this level onwards you are expected to be focused totally when training. This means that from the time you walk onto the floor in the Kwoon, no matter which Kwoon (our training area, the beach, a stage, the kung fu camp or anywhere where you are training kung fu) you need to be totally focused! From the time you bow into class to the time you bow out of class, focus entirely on the training, learning and practice! Sometimes, often, . . you come to class with things racing around in your mind. This can be very dangerous at worst or very unproductive for you at best. When entering the Kwoon (any Kwoon) 'stop and take stock' of; 1 Where you are entering, is it safe, the right pace, etc. 2 What baggage you have in your mind that may/will distract you from training; achieving best results today; and leave it at the door; it takes practice and a bit of time; so be in class at least 10 minutes earlier). 3 What you wish to achieve today!
(Chinese Characters for focus)
You may find that these three steps help you achieve a greater success in what you wish to achieve; in business (when meeting a client or vendor), in your private life (partner, parties and other pleasures) and planning (lose all stray thoughts and focus on what is)! This is a very good habit or way of working anyway! Anything that is worth doing, is worth doing well or else you are wasting your time!☯

Social Life Balance There are three groups of people we constantly interact with on a day to day basis that fulfil our social needs. Each of these add to our lives in a different way and each requires different types of human interaction skills. The three different groups of people you normally have very little to do with each other (for the most). All they have in common is that they are defined by you as the central figure. Each of these groups require your time and effort to maintain and improve.
Meeting, having a drink, casual encounters at work can all be summarised as networking. There are even basic rules for this conduct. Never get personal, stay on the topic at hand, be clear, concise and professional. Work colleagues often have specific ‘Roles’ that they have to fulfil in their jobs. Often this is how you get to know them and how we relate to them. They are the PA, Project Manager, Boss, assistant, etc. Often these roles also define our relationship with them and a code of conduct. "In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds." - Aristotle Beecher
Whereas friends are a totally different lot. Often with our friends we don’t want professional but friendly, supportive and personal behaviour. But just like at work, friends often also have specific functions like ones for going out clubbing, for movies or videoing, long walks at the beach, shopping, getting sloshed, gaming, etc. Rarely do we have all around friends with which we can do almost everything but generally we do have at least one.
A Family is not that different. They also have ‘Roles’; mothers, fathers, sisters, uncles, cousins, grand-parents, etc. Yes, the way we behave with our family is different than with the other two groups and that is as it should be, and that is also the key.

Each of these groups fulfils a need within us and there is a balance between these three. It seems that when we neglect any of these groups we can Socially, Spiritually fall ‘out of balance’. Just like money budgeting we need to allocate our time resources to fulfil all of our needs to stay in balance. We sometimes get into a rut, work too much, have a blue with someone and this balance may get very upset. All of a sudden we may be feeling that we do not get what we need from our friends, workmates or family. Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and t enderness sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving cheering words while their ears can hear them and while their hearts can be thrilled by them. --Henry Ward Beecher
We have a spiritual budget, an amount of energy that we can spend and need to spend with and on other people. It is very much like investing money you have. Smart people di versify their investments so as not to put all their eggs in one basket. And just like investments return dividends, our time with friends return spiritual dividends. Depending on the quality of our relationships a bad day can turn into a good day, a boring evening can be filled with excitement, a bad incident can be shared and become half as bad, a good experienced can be relived by telling your friends.
These relationships can be very, very powerful. What’s more, they influence your physical, mental and spiritual health and well being to a much higher degree than you may be aware!
There are however types of people to be wary of. Below is a listing of some that I have identified and given a suitable title to!
"The family is one of nature's masterpieces." George Santayana (1863-1952)

seem like very nice people but for some reason, somehow every time you spend time with them, afterwards you feel spiritually drained. They seem to suck the life out of you. Unless we are aware of this, we m ay not notice. Now any relationship can have this effect on us sometimes but there are some people who have this effect on us most the time. These are difficult to spot and notice unless you are looking for them.
"Of all the things which wisdom provides to make us entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession of friendship." - Epicurus
Dream Steelers
are those who tell us all the things that are impossible, what we can’t do, what cannot be done, what is useless to try. They often mask themselves by saying they are concerned for your health and well-being. And this works well as they sound almost exactly like someone who genuinely cares for you. They try and limit your success. They are or can be very difficult to identify and distinguish from people who genuinely care for you. If you find someone who seems to be constantly (well almost) telling you what can’t be done, have a closer look at them.
I, me & my self’s
They are the ones who never really laugh at you jokes, listen to your stories and experiences and almost always have a better joke, story and experience to tell than you. They often use words like ‘that’s nothing compared to . . .’, ‘not as bad as what I experienced’ and similar.
Otherers
They’re the ones who talk about how good other people’s achievements are (compared to yours or even theirs), how much better, famous or richer; but never really tell you how good you are. They dwell on the achievements of people they have read about, herd about but never say anything good about you and never really do anything themselves!

Monday, tomorrow, later, not right now, will be done for sure, absolutely, promise . . . are the sounds that these people make and really mean . . except that it never happens on time, or they way it was expected and agreed or even just never happens. These are dangerous because they often work in professions where customers or people rely on them. Watch out for these.
I know best’erers
are those who have read a lot and translate this into not only knowing (sight unseen) everything but representing it as (almost) their own experiences and wisdom. Which in turn, turns you into being wrong and unknowing all the time.
Missionaries
closely related to a few of the above always know what’s best for you better than you do. These are particularly dangerous as they genuinely mean well and think that they are saving you from yourself or whoever else. They believe that god or the ultimate truth is on their side!
I Promisers
These are the people who promise something and never keep it. Oh yes everybody will occasionally promise something they cannot deliver but these people make a habit of it; both the promoting and the not delivering!
Yea, but’ers
I agree but; you are right but; I will do it but; yes I stuffed up but . . .
Before we jump the gun, we are and so is everybody a bit of all of those above. At one time or another we display these characteristics. So do not be too quick to make a decision. Like wild life, you need to observe over a longer period and make sure that it is not just a phase that someone is going through. You may wish to even speak to this person about YOUR FEELINGS, explaining that this is the way you are interpreting their behaviour and that you are not judging them. For what is friendship when you’re not being genuine with each other!
Finally, when all is said and done and we take the sum of our lives, look back at our accomplishments we often forget that it was our ability to have friends and family that m ade it all worth while. For why did we accomplish all that we did if not for other human beings and ourselves! What are your friends to you, and what are you prepared to do to keep them and improve!

ME Yet, when all is said and done, external needs addressed & all the roles played there is one need that generally looses out. It is ME time!
We all need ME time; time for ourselves, by ourselves and with ourselves! This is evident in our daily lives. We need a time to centre ourselves, be one by ourselves and think only of ourselves. This can be mistaken for being ego centred and it is, for a specific time.
There is a drive with in us that we call self-preservation. This requires of us to take care of ourselves, be healthy, fit and well. We need to devote 30 minutes a day to just thinking about ourselves, our needs and sorting out our thoughts, relationships - lives into a natural (for us) priority!
Consider this; what use are we to our friends, family or work if we are sick and unwell. Yes we can go to doctors and naturopaths, etc., and throw money at them to make us well again. But this is not the natural flow of things.
This 30 minutes is not spent doing anything else except letting our mind flow, considering all the hats (roles – parent, sibling, worker, boss, martial artist, etc.) that we have and be aware what and who is important to us.
This allows our three levels of mind to synergise and come to some conclusions. From this we then decide what is best for us. How much exercise we do, meditation, which food we eat, variety and simply what we need to do for ourselves to maintain our health, vigour and vitality.
Let us go back to a principle from the first level book, “Stop and Take stock”; for this is what I am talking about. Allow me to introduce you to the SLAM DUNK systems of review, planning and sanity check.

There is a bit more to it but this is a good process that helps you put things into perspective. And the more you do it the better it gets and the more you synergise especially if you look at the big picture every so often and get perspective! Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

Needs To help with the Life Planning and ME tim e it is good to understand NEEDS. What is the difference between Needs & Wants.
Well we need to eat, sleep, breath, develop and survive. OK, but really, what are Needs and where do they come from and how do they influence our behaviour and outlook on life? Following is one possible definition, as defined by Abraham Maslow.
Needs are the basic drivers or motivators that enable us t o live and develop. For example, would we eat if our body did not Need the nourishment to survive? How about another 6 to 8 hours more tim e per day if we did not Need to sleep! Think of all the money you would save if you did not Need protection from the weather!
So Needs seem to be the things that we require to survive, well not quite. That's were a gentleman by the name of Maslow defined needs into 5 levels (there is t hat 5 again).
Needs are REAL (food, air, love) - Wants are PERCEIVED Maslow recognised human needs into 5 hierarchal levels. It seems that the requirement of each level have to be satisfied to a certain degree before we feel up to looking at the next level. Let's have a look at these levels;
Physiological or Basic Needs
We need food and water, physical protection from weather and a place to sleep. These needs have to be

Physiological or Basic

Safety or Growth Needs Together with the need to be and feel safe and secure, these two basic levels have to be satisfied before we can even look at the high three! Safety Needs includes that we have enough to eat in the future, enough clothing to really keep warm and that our shelter will protect us from predators.
We have these basic levels of Need in common with most animals and wild life. Many animals live in herds to cover their protection and security needs choosing a leader, one who is most able to protect the herd/group and supply their current and future needs!
Security - Growth - Future
Social or Affiliation Needs It is evident that the levels run into each other. We seem to cover the first of our higher needs of social interaction by satisfying one of our basic needs of protection and living in groups or herds. It seems that once our basic needs are meet, we Need to come together with common minded people. Family and friends come into this category, although both also help to cover the security aspect of our Needs.
Family - Friends - Common Interest
Ego or I Needs You have a home, a place to sleep, enough to eat. You are secure in your surroundings, have a job and friends. You have enough resources to live well and have a bit of spare time. What now?
Maslow believes that you would now work on your prestige, your view of yourself and how others would see you. You would work on increasing your Mind Power and the influence (face) you have with your fellow human being.
Power - Prestige - Self View

Esteem or Recognition This is the ultimate Need, a Need that only begins to dominate your behaviour once you have satisfied most of the lower order Needs. This is where artists try to express themselves on canvas, wood or other. This is where a scientist aims for that breakthrough, the competitor for the gold medal. Even with these achievements, the last two Needs, often, will never be satisfied!
Self Actualisation - Development - Ultimate Goals
Needs Summary This Needs hierarchy seems logical but is not proven! It is often used for understanding and guidance and that is how we use it. Liang-I Shaolin Kung Fu needs to be set up and run in such a way that you, the student, future Instructors and Masters, can use what you have learned with us to help you achieve all 5 levels of needs!
Although Liang-I gives you the opportunity to satisfy all your needs and practice all aspects, we really focus on Self Actualisation; for realising your potential is the path of the Dragon!

Entering the Mouth of P'eng-li Lake Hsieh Ling
A traveller tires of nights on the water. The wind and tides are unpredictable: Around islets they suddenly swerve and rejoin, And the banks often come crashing down. By moonlight I hear the mournful gibbons, And dampened by dew, I smell fragrant iris. At spring's end, the green wilds flourish; Where the cliffs rise highest, white clouds amass. A thousand memories gather day by night, A myriad of sorrows brim dawn and dusk. Scaling cliffs, I find my reflection in Stone Mirror, Parting the leaves, I enter Pine Gate. The stories of the Three Rivers are mostly lost, The Nine Tributaries exist only in name. The marvels here begrudge their curious treasures; The Immortals withhold their ethereal souls. The Essence of Gold has doused its bright light, The Liquid J ade has stopped its radiant flow. In vain I play the “Thousand-Mile Song”; The strings snap and memories multiply.

Renew and Review
SR Coves 7 Habits
Learning Efficiently (Guide 5) What do we remember and what do we forget? Well we forget what we forget to remember! You think this is stupid l ogic? Well it isn’t. Let me explain.
1. Be Pro-active 2. First things first (What Matters Most)
SR Covey lists Renew and Review as one of the ‘7 Habits of Highly Successful People’. The reasoning for this is that thi s habit, skill, task, fulfils two major functions;
3. Start with the End in mind 4. Think Win-Win
YANG It reminds you to remember what you have learned.
5. Seek first to understand before you seek to be
YIN It allows you to put what you have learned into the
understood
bigger picture of your life and learning.
6. Synergise In other words, if you recap on what you have learned, you will remember it better and you have had time to put it into perspective of your other learning’s; this allows you to link to
7. Renew and Review 8. Enjoy Life
what you have learned, stop & take stock . . . well in reality this is a “stop and take stock”, just with a slightly more specific and wider focus! In a way, the first part of the circle closes, much like the first part of your training closes on this level by a total regrade of everything you have learned before you commence on the senior levels!☯
Training Tip: If you review an item you have learned within the first 24 hours of learning it you increase your chance of remembering it by 500%

Level 5 Vital Points, Shoulder & Pelvic Points If what you are being attacked with, no longer functions as well as the attacker expects, you have gained a valuable psychological, tactical and physical advantage. You will most likely be attacked by either hands or feet and in this level we focus at the points from which they emanate.
Just where your chest muscles join into your shoulder joint is a weak area not protected by muscles (arrows). Just under this point is the Brachial Plexus, which is a nerve complex for the respective arm. It is also the centre for some of the tendons in your arm. It is also a key point for Chi flow and tendon movement!
A strike to either of these points with a ginger fist, dragon fist, phoenix fist, sword edge or vertical spear hand could result in a temporary in anything from a total usage of the l imb for seconds, minutes or in extreme cases days to just a loss of strength and pain. The effect can be seen within a few seconds of application and will, when correctly applied have limiting results on the use of the limb or joint; which effectively reduces the use of the limb against you in a defence situation.
The Standard Liang-I Fighting Stance guard is very adequate to protecting the points that we have covered so far, including these. This is different for the next two points; the pelvic joints. The hip joint is rarely seen as a vital point and yet it is possibly one of the most unappreciated points of all!

As can be seen in the picture below there is a vital point for movement of the legs. Should this be impacted fairly solidly (not to hard or else it disjoints) it can cause similar effects as previously with the shoulder joints. The most likely attack would be with a toe kick straight into where the upper leg bends forward when sitting. Right into that crease by the bladder at about a 2 0° angle to the horizontal. A Panther or Dragon fist would also work well as would a hand edge from the side. If a side kick is positioned correctly, angle and blade, this would cause the most amount of damage.
The standard Liang-I guard protects most of our body and head points, to protect t his point we need to use either the lower block, gate block or leg block; depending on the type of attack. My preference is the three handed guard (Crane Stance with guard) as it interferes with the attacker setting you up for a counter attack with a front or side kick or a leap forward attack. In the next book we look at the elbow and knee joints.☯

Progress It is good to appreciate what we have achieved! From Shaolin 5 Animal Kung Fu point of view there are initially two major reasons; 1. If we do not appreciate our success, both small and large; we will c ease to succeed! 2. How we achieve our initial improvements/success is NOT how we continue to achieve improvements/success. We need to recognise when old habits & methods no longer work!
For this reason it would be a very good idea, once you have received this book, to record the following details;
