Finding the answers in Prose Fiction. Yeats and the 108 heroes.

I am reading some prose of W.B. Yeats and I realize that his view of Christianity, where you have the old Gods present as well. IS not that different from mine. Maybe Pastor Steven Chin was right when he said that most people actually think like me, where you can be Christian or Muslim and Buddhist and whatever and you just reconciled it all one way or another and adhere mainly to Science.

I mean here are these poets and writers from so long ago, they are so old, and they already are grappling with stuff I have been writing about in my books. Kung and Cooking and Lions and Dragons and Drums are the two that I have been focusing on. I want to get them out in book form soon. Not necessarily in the final version, but at least a physical book I can start looking through and editing with a pen instead of on the screen. It would just make me feel better I think to have it in Physical form.

I just made a video about a form I created called 8 phases of Moh Chung. It is a concept form. It goes through 8 ways of fighting.

1)Street Fighter
 Moh Chung starts off as a brawler that is hired to beat up a bully. So you free style like a brawler, Typical Street fight type deal.  Very Bruce Lee or boxing type stuff.

2)Drunken fighter
Moh Ching later gets drunk and fights a tiger killing it. This is something that is reenacted over and over in skits by children in China. Except nowdays they let the tiger go. You know, endangered species. The tiger, of course is just another child. This drunken concept is loose and relax and almost Yogic for me. Same moves, but done in a very relaxed and stretching out your body type way.

3)Avenger
Moh Chong kills Simon Hing and Poon Gum leen avenging his older brother's murder, having collected evidence to prove their guilt. He tried the legal means first (this is important) but the system was corrupt. He kills them and brings evidence in as a record and accepts his punishment for breaking the law. Basically, doing the same moves  but with purpose. Different than a street fighter per se. Your typical Martial Art type philosophy. Very Karate or Hung Gar or Toshiro Mifune in terms of focus, righteousness (self righteousness) and purpose.

4) Bound
In this phase you have tied hands. Moh Chung might have actually been in a stockade but I just use a bound hands handcuff type concept. You do moves with the hand together and focus on kicks too. It's cool because you can use a lot of moves from the opening. At some point you break the rope or duct tape or whatever and then fight normally again.

5)Bezerker
Moh Ching goes to jail but then lives with some corrupt Warden and works for him. He is given a house and a wife (who he treats as a sister, not wanting to force himself on anyone) but then is set up again. He kills everyone, guilty and innocent. This is different from Killing Poon Gum Leen and Simon Hing because at this point he no longer has reason or a moral compass. In fact he writes that he did it in blood on the wall. One can see why he did this, but it is no longer morally correct as he kills people who do not deserve to die necessarily As a form, you lash out and throw your moves with a crazy power. This is a very useful thing to practice because, especially if you are not a good or professional fighter, a real fight will be difficult to go through, You might not be able to focus and get it done like your are a professional athlete playing a sport. And so in order to defend yourself, you just do some crazy stuff to get out of there. But what crazy movements will you do? Not a bad idea to practice going into this state, having moves that you do that your body will be used to so you don't hurt yourself, and then moving back out of this state after the danger has passed.

6)Fake Monk
So you see people dress up in robes and do their moves as if they are enlightened and a lot of times you will say, they are fake. Well Moh Chung started his Monastic life as a poser. He put on robes and carried a book that a couple gave him as a disguise. The couple treated him well, like family, but they were swindlers who got people drunk and then killed them and fed them to the next customers at their Inn. But even from this start, Moh Chung became an actual monk. Fake it until you make it. So here, you do your moves like an enlightened martial artist. You aren't an enlightened martial artist? Fake it.
It's similar I guess to the Revenger, except here, you are doing violent movements while trying to not be violent. The Buddhist Monk.

7) One armed Hero
Moh Chung loses an arm on one of the 108 heroes battles. So basically, Put one hand as your guard and leave there and fight only with the legs and one arm. Then you can switch. Keeping that one hand only for guarding is pretty common in beginner's boxing and other Kung Fu moves. But really focusing on only fighting with one hand is good practice.

8) Finding Peace.

At the end, Moh Chung decided not to go on one of the adventures to steal money or whatever He opted to stay as a monk at a monastery. His friends wentto visit him later on and found that he has passed away. In any case for the last stage of this form, it is meditation. I Guess you can do this standing still or moving. But unlike the fake monk, you are absolutely at peace, even if that means you have to just meditate instead of doing the Kung Fu moves as a meditation. After all, Moh Chung chooses not to act, and therfore not to move here. And then that is the end of the form.


This form is more of a concept form in that you don't necessarily have to have a set sequence of moves. Of course you have your basic moves and concepts that are introduced. In truth, there may actually be 8 forms here.

I did it as one freestyle form wher I talked to the go pro... but I'm having trouble uploading it to youtube! Maybe God is telling me I didn't think about the concepts enough. After all I started the video with 7 phases and as I was doing it I realized there were eight, which makes more sense when dealing with Buddhist precepts and all that.
