Ma Shengli: Focus on Practice, Not Just 'Spectators'
Kung Fu as said by Mr. Ma Shengli
I looked up 'Ma Shengli' and needed to add long-tail keywords such as 'Ma Shengli 48-hour Self-Defense Technique' or 'Ma Shengli Intent Fist'
In the 1990s, Mr. Ma Shengli promoted '48-hour Self-Defense Technique' in various martial arts magazines based on his own cognition. It included techniques with intent fist, boxing, karate, etc.
'This content is Mr. Ma Shengli's thought on Kung Fu. Share your opinions, friends.
After years of teaching martial arts, I found a common problem:Nowadays, martial arts enthusiasts seem to want to learn everything. As long as there is something, they almost learn it. But in the end, they achieve nothing. They know a lot of things, can talk about them, but they lack confidence when they actually fight, becoming a 'fan' in the truest sense of the word!
Actually,Kung Fu is made by practicingnot by learning! This is what is meant by: 'Master leads you in, practice lies in yourself.'
Even if you have the best martial arts and a master, they cannot plant Kung Fu in you. Only through your own diligent practice can you achieve success. Many people haven't practiced Kung Fu well, they complain about not meeting a master, or lament that they chose the wrong martial arts school. However,The martial arts circle does exist with masters and substandard techniquesHowever, the martial arts styles that are currently circulating in the martial arts circle (preferably internal martial arts) have mostly gone through long-term natural selection and can withstand scrutinyAs long as you can focus on dedicated research, you will surely learn somethingUnfortunately, most martial arts enthusiasts stop their efforts quickly and abandon their studies. Whether it's a martial art, their enthusiasm will fade within a few days when they encounter difficulties and they switch to other styles. Or they simply 'take a three-day fishing break and a two-day sunbath.' Whatever they do is insignificant, and a great deal of time is wasted, isn't it a pity!
Among my students, many have learned three to four martial arts, and some have even learned seven to eight, ten or more. ButWhen they try to perform actual techniques, they haven't done any practical trainingThey say they've learned a certain martial art, but they've only followed the master for a few months, or they've watched books and textbooks and mimicked a few times, without actually performing practical training. Let alone 'practice three nine-degree days in summer and three-degree days in winter'
To be honest, learning martial arts without practicing actual combat for two or five hours, or without persistently following the rooster's crow, even if you memorize all the techniques from martial arts books from ancient and modern times, you will never become a martial arts master. BecauseThe most effective way to learn martial arts is through actual experience. Only when it's truly embodied in the body has meaning. Otherwise, it's just a castle in the air. Thinking too much is meaningless!
Okay, friends. One sentence: good steel is made by forging, and Kung Fu is made by practicing. If you don't want to always be a 'fan,' immediately settle your mind and start practical training. Come on! Don't be afraid to give it a try. There's only one path to success. Who are you fighting? Don't fight yourself!
