Anyone know why Chang San-Feng created Tai-Chi-Chuan?
Many people have never even heard the name Chang San-Feng before. Feng was the creator of Tai-Chi-Chuan. I was just wondering if any of you know why he created it. Seems that very few people know the reason. That includes many Tai-Chi instructors.
In the late 1300′s, Chang San-Feng (1391 -1459 ?) A master of martial arts and acupuncture, created what became known as Dim-Mak (Death point Striking).
Feng developed his art while concealing it from others. He then created another art to contain Dim–Mak. Feng’s new art became Tai-Chi-Chuan (Grand Ultimate Fist). Although many credit Feng as the creator there are many that do not mention that he created Dim Mak. Other accounts say that Feng was not the creator of Tai-Chi-Chuan at all. The Tai-Chi forms not only contain the self-defense techniques, their practice allows the person practicing to improve their balance, coordination, breathing, and technique. Feng could teach Tai-Chi-Chuan without revealing the more deadly applications within. Once a student had spent years of practice he would become highly skilled possessing good fighting skills. Only a very few ever were taught the real purpose of the moves in Tai-Chi-Chuan. Today Dim Mak is believed to be a myth or joke by many.
The account I listed is one of many and will be debated for many years. there are many that disbelieve this story. I believe that it explains much as to how the more deadly aspects of the martial arts came to be and eventually influenced the kata in most styles of martial arts.
Ch’ang Hon Taekwon-do Hae Sul – Real Applications to the ITF Patterns: Vol 1
Ch’ang Hon Taekwon-do Hae Sul – Real Applications to the ITF Patterns: Vol 1
“The best book on taekwon-do since the encyclopaedia” This groundbreaking first book studies the history and development of the Ch’ang Hon (ITF) Taekwon-do patterns as devised, taught and developed by the founder of Taekwon-do; General Choi, Hong Hi. Ch’ang Hon Taekwon-do Hae Sul is an in-depth study of the Ch’ang Hon Taekwon-do patterns; their history and their roots; Taekwon-do’s evolution; its genetic make-up; its differences with other martial arts; and the techniques and movements that define the system. For the first time since its inception, this book details realistic interpretations for the ITF patterns including Chon-Ji, Dan-Gun, Do-San, Won-Hyo, Yul-Gok, Joong-Gun, Toi-Gye, as well as Saju Jirugi and Sagu Makgi. Over 17 chapters covering 360+ pages, with over 1,600 detailed photographs, the patterns are examined, dissected and rebuilt to help both students and instructors understand the applications that are really contained within the Ch’ang Hon patterns – many of which were previously unknown and undocumented. In step-by-step photographic detail, learn what the techniques and combinations of the Ch’ang Hon patterns actually represent and how to turn your patterns into a realistic way of training actual self defence techniques that work, and turn them into something much more than they are practiced today. Along the way, the reader is treated to a fascinating insight into the history of the Ch’ang Hon patterns as well as Taekwon-do itself, with many of its previously unknown, undocumented or understudied principles revealed. Read what helped to shape the art which became so feared on the battlefield of Vietnam that enemy soldiers were told not to engage the Korean soldiers, whether armed or not, due to their knowledge of Taekwon-do. A historical study of Taekwon-do and its patterns – as well as a training manual and an encyclopaedia of realistic applications – make this book a must-read for all those that study and practice Taekwon-do. A milestone for the development of Taekwon-do.
