Light Body Kung Fu, sometimes called Light Kung Fu, is one of those ancient myths that has a lot of foundation. There are instructions in the old textbooks on discipline, and every once in a while you see something really amazing that makes people think such things are possible. This article will deal with the instructions to reach that high Kung Fu skill.

The basic instructions for learning light kung fu and being able to perform martial arts techniques, such as jumping six feet, are often childish or esoteric. Children’s instructions are things like, ‘dig a hole and jump out of it a thousand times’. Scoop a cup of dirt out of the ground every night, and in ten years you’ll be able to jump out of a twelve-foot well.

Let’s see: one inch a day, 365 days times ten years, 3650 inches divided by twelve… the guy should be able to jump more than 300 feet vertically. Maybe it was a cup of dirt every week? But that would still be more than about 30 vertical feet.

The more esoteric instructions involve things like breathing the tan tien while doing the dragonfly pose. The third chakra should be activated in year four, and the fifth chakra will go to sleep in year nine. Pray to Buddha constantly as you do this.

The childish and esoteric out of the way, scientists often introduce more confusion. I found the following instructions for light kung fu on a karate forum. Gigong is just the ability to transition body weight between the two feet in such a way that body weight never has enough time to rest completely on either leg in any period of time… and paragraph continues Analyze shorten cycle tread.

This last description is very fascinating, but there is always a problem when someone tries to describe something that is beyond science with… science. What I mean by this is that science describes how the universe works, but it doesn’t really tell you how to use your mind to move it. I know that people trained in science will dispute what I just said and try to impose their reasoning on phenomena, but science cannot account for supernatural phenomena like light kung fu, raising the dead, or, say, walking over water

I had a student who could walk on water. Actually, what he did was run around the corner of a swimming pool. He would start running, do a few things with his mind, and run on the surface of the water without sinking.

What matters is what he was doing with his mind. Gravity can be measured, of course; it can be described by science, but it’s still an idea you have to believe in for it to work. We are raised to make physics work (trained by schools biased towards the scientific method), but the secret of light body kung fu is to untrain the mind, to overcome the idea of ​​gravity, and that takes a lot of kung fu. discipline.
