武术 (功夫) 的功效

中华武术历史悠久,武术内容丰富多彩,拳种众多,既风格各异,又融会贯通,适合不同的人群演练。今天,武术的多种功能性,深受广大群众喜爱,它不仅具有增强体质、防身自卫、修身养性的功能,而且还具有弘扬民族精神、娱乐休闲、以拳会友等功能。

练武者身体强壮,性格坚强、自信、乐观,易获高寿

练太极拳都要求松而不懈、紧而不僵,精神上有意识“松”的结果,使呼吸也就会随之柔和并富有节律,内脏各器官也会得到相应放松,此时横膈膜的运动不仅不会受到牵制,还会更有效地按摩内脏各器官,促进血液及淋巴循环,加强新陈代谢。在这种状态下,人的大脑供血充足,全身微循环改善,血管通透性增强,白血球增加,人体免疫功能大大提高。

长期在电脑前或办公室工作的人员不仅会颈椎、胸椎、腰椎增生而压迫神经产生疼痛,久坐还影响下肢和臀部周围的血液循环,产生四肢无力、头晕眼花、性功能减退、过早衰老等症状。道家太乙太极拳是道家养生功法,讲究螺旋运动、阴阳双修和返还,如果每天坚持练习,身体明显强壮,精力体力会很快恢复,性功能增强,身体各种不适逐渐消失。太极拳对老年人更能起到健身、养生的作用。

武术内外兼修 (身心双修),久练武术,人的性格会变得平和淡泊,乐观豁达。所谓“笑一笑,十年少,愁一愁,白了头”,人在精神愉快时,中枢神经系统的指挥作用增强,消化、吸收、分泌、排泄正常。习武给予人的是无形的保健秘方。

练武培养人具有坚韧不拔的毅力和吃苦耐劳的品质。练武者可谓自信,不卑不亢,深沉厚重,磊落豪雄,外柔、内刚、安于寂寞。能人背后有能人,强中更有强中手,所以武术造诣越深就越不骄不躁,就越谦虚,心胸坦然落落大方。

练武有利于儿童、青少年的身心成长

通过练习武术,儿童的速度、力量、协调、平衡等素质都取得了巨大的进步。武术可以使儿童增强食欲,增强体质,减少疾病,精力旺盛.

武术是一项综合性体育运动,学习和演练都必须开动脑筋。在武术的学习、训练过程中经历一个从求知到理解、再巩固,从而达到应用的完整过程,也就是开发智力的过程。还有,人的大脑是左右两个半球,右手的运动可以使大脑的左半球得到锻炼,反之,左手可以锻炼大脑的右半球。在武术运动中,不论是徒手还是器械都是双手同时运动的,这就使大脑的左右半球都得到了充分的锻炼

武术活动,可以缓解儿童对外在环境的压抑心理,使儿童有机会表现自己的情感,充分体验到快乐之情,可以克服恐惧情绪,可以进行情感宣泄,最终使儿童从中满足表达自己情感的需要,使其良好情感得到展现,不良情感得到控制和矫正,使儿童健康、快乐的成长。儿童进行武术训练的过程,实际上又是一个克服困难,艰苦磨练的过程,是对儿童意志、性格、信念、情操的陶冶过程。

通过集体的学习、训练以及表演活动,儿童逐步学会正确认识自己和同伴,正确处理自己和同伴之间的关系,使其以自我为中心的缺点得以克服,合群行为得以培养,交往能力得到提高。

The Praying Mantis Kung Fu Academy is one of a small number of kung fu and wushu schools in Sydney NSW Australia. Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu (Tong Long quan or Tang Lang quan) is over 1000 years old. It's creator, Wang Lang, is documented in the archives of the Shaolin Temple as one of the great masters of the time. Wang Lang developed the style after training at the Shao Lin temple and being inspired by the praying mantis insect. Shifu Daniel Wang Yun Kuo teaches this traditional style of Chinese martial art in Leichhardt a suburb close to the Sydney CBD, NSW Australia. Within the praying mantis kung fu syle there are several variations. The variations taught by Shifu Wang are the Seven Stars and Plum Blossom styles. The Praying Mantis Kung Fu Academy teaches other styles of Chinese KungFu including Wu Shu (wushu is a style of competitive Kung Fu made famous by Jet Li), Chin Na and Wu Dong (also known as Wudan, Wu Tang or Wudang) Tai Chi (taiji, taiqi). Sifu Wang also teaches styles such as Xing Yi (Hsing I) and Ba Gua (Pa Kua). There are many styles of Kung Fu including Chow Ka (Jow Gar), Hung Gar, Chin Woo, Choy Lay Fut, Jeet Kune Do, Wing Chun (Ving Tsun) and many others. Kung Fu is very different from other martial arts known in the West such as Karate, Tae Kwon Do or Kickboxing. These are often referred to as "hard" styles as they use direct force to strike or block the opponent. Many Kung Fu styles combine hard techniques with "soft" moves. Soft techniques use the momentum and energy of the opponent against them. Kung Fu first gained exposure in Western culture from the 1970's TV Series "Kung Fu" starring David Carradine. More recently, Kung Fu has been gaining popularity in the West as it is exposed to "Wu Xia" kung fu culture from movies such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hero, Fearless and famous Kung Fu actors including Bruce Lee, Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow, Zhang ZiYi, Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh. Kung Fu has even influenced popular music for example, the Wu Tang Clan and Asian Kung Fu Generation. But the most famous of Kung Fu pop songs is "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas. Praying mantis kung fu is often mis spelled as preying mantis kung fu or playing mantis Kung fu
