The Nature of Kung Fu

Orginal Post: WushuPadawan001: There is no strength,
only power
There is no speed,
only quickness
There is no concentration,
only spirit.

This is something that I have been thinking about for some time now. Just wanted to see what everyone?s take on this was.

Post: zefff:

its a bit vague for me but Im sure the words mean more to you.

Also what I notice is that all the terms are 'the end result or 'product'. What is the root of power, quickness and spirit? What do we do with our power, quickness and spirit and why would we want it anyway? Is it possible that really there is nothing, only desire?>

Post: bamboo:

Frankly I disagree.


Quote:
There is no concentration,

All the "spirit", "heart", and "intensity" in the world is useless if you can't harness it. How do you harness it? Learn focus. How to learn focus? First learn to concentrate.

Quote:
There is no strength,
only power


There is strength, and when used in combination with breath, timing and center, it can be devistating. Thats what makes power. You can't spell without vowels.

Quote:
There is no speed,
only quickness


This semantics.
I would say- Speed is useless without timing.


Just my opinion.
