Life begins with thought and ends when one
stops thinking. You think, therefore you are alive. Life must not be without
aim or purposes. Our goal here is to build a world of positive thought and
movement. We have no right to be lazy; we have no right to stop thinking.
This world belongs to all people, those who
are in it now, and those who will arrive in the future. We must take care of
the world and make it a better place everyday. We must build and improve,
not destroy. Our strength comes from working together. To achieve, we have
to work hard. Our will has no limits. Our will never ends. In
Kung Fu TO'A, we do not tolerate selfishness, or cruelty. Aggression has no
place in this style. We think of all people as one big family. Our society
realizes no borders of any kind.
That is why we wear black. Black represents
all colors as one. Therefore, regardless of age, sex, religion, or
nationality you are always welcome to join the Kung Fu TO'A family. Black
also represents the sadness felt for the thoughtless destruction occuring
in our world. We wish to fight poverty, whether it be cultural or economic.
We wish to fight hunger and disease. We don't agree with conditions being
forced on anyone at any time, in Kung Fu TO'A nobody is forced to do
anything. We do things by our own will, however, we push ourselves to do our
best.
We come to seek the wisdom of those who have
come before us. Once inside, our powers combine to create a wave of energy
that must be felt across the universe. Many achievements and much knowledge
has been lost through carelessness and poor planning -- art, stories,
technological ideas or physical sports can all be lost through lack of
communication between people. It is essential to repeat our learning to our
future friends. All the knowledge we find must then be passed on to future
generations. With Kung Fu TO'A we must preserve this style correctly and
appreciate our chance to study a truly unique way of living and training.
Kung Fu is not a few hours a week, it is a way of life. We do not change
our lives for Kung Fu, but rather blend Kung Fu into our daily existence.
The time is now, we must wake up and seek the wisdom of TO'A.
Kung Fu To'A, using scientific fundamentals as well as physical powers,
is of extreme importance to one's spiritual existance and purposeful
struggle on the way to self discovery. In the deep meaning of Kung Fu, life
is viewed based on movement which enters the soul through the gates of
thought. Being a true human and living as a true human might sound very
simple to do, but in reality it requires extensive conditioning, which
eventually enables us to penetrate the border of wisdom in an
extraordinarily dynamic universe Every individual has two important
properties: body and soul. On our way to perfect our bodies and souls and
maintaining a logical balance between them, we effectively unleash the
unlimited powers that remain hidden in all of us. The human body and human
spirit contain endless secrets. Even though scientists are constantly
studying human behavior, their knowledge amounts to a drop in the ocean of
unexplained questions about our existance.
Humanity, the masterpiece of
creation, is the most advanced form of life in our galaxy, and every human
being represents a page in the book of creation. In the same way that a
child grows older and reaches adulthood, the human body and human souls
should also reach their ripeness through the evolution of mind and body.
When one enters the path of evolution, he or she will leave darkness and
ignorance behind and will eventually attain a mature mind with the ability
to reach beyond him or herself.
Evolution means climbing the mountain of the universe one level at a
time, ultimately ascending to the peak of humanity. In Kung Fu we do this by
following the stages one after another. These stages are like a chain. You
must build your chain on link at a time. Passing these stages will reveal
the secrets of mind and body to the students of Kung Fu To'A. They will then
have a true and correct direction for both their bodies and their souls.
After passing through these stages, Kung Fu Ka will never use their powers
to harm others or show off. Instead, they use their strong bodies as a base
for their souls. A body should be like a nest for our thoughts. Kung Fu Ka
establish a logical balance between their minds and bodies, since they have
the correct thoughts keeping them away from addiction, drugs, alcohol and
dishonesty. This is how we build our personalities.
This way, we can live as
a true human being and teach others to do the same. Our goal in Kung Fu TO'A
is discovering the secrets of body and soul. By the way of physical
excercise and meditation, we try to reach our best and find out what our
possible abilities are. If a person uses these abilities to harm or injure
others, she or he will never reach the higher stages. This explains why
power in Kung Fu brings peace and not disturbance to the mind. Nowadays
people are struggling with famine, poverty and ignorance. In our way you get
the opportunity to decide your own future. You have an unlmiited potential
that you can use to fight weakness and help to create a huge flow of energy
in our existance. Remember time is your friend and your enemy. Keys to peak
humanity are: Birth of Thought, Dynamic Zen, Progressive Philosphy, and
Breathing.
Energy and Wave Patterns In Kung Fu TO'A
- The Human Body In The Universal Magnetic Field - Mind is the master of the body.
The purpose of Kung Fu TO'A
is to reach a higher state of energy and balance
through a series of mental and physical techniques. Every single motion and
emotion that we experience results in a signal that is sent to our brain,
that we will then perform, based on our experience and feelings. Kung Fu
TO'A has a scientific foundation which moves us away from the drifting of
mindless direction, and towards a commanding body and mind in a dynamic way
of life. It is our nature to place a priority on things that we feel and
receive in our mind and body (brain). After passing stages of Kung Fu we
make significant changes to our priorities.We consciously and unconsciously
prioritize the constructive and positive signals that we receive.
Reaching this stage means that the person will be able to perform in a
more unique and precise direction. The first sign of this progress is
performing your techniques spontaneously without the interference of
thought. This is the fundamental concept of meditation and concentration
during training.
Kung fu is a concept that involves going beyond your physical and mental
limits, understanding your body behavior and overcoming obstacles to reach
the hidden power within us. The body deforms under the universal
gravitational force. We learn how to make a harmony between our body and
nature, and finally with the gravity which we have around us. To reach this
goal all the stages of Kung fu TO'A are based on specific geometric
patterns. These patterns are based on mathematical calculations, human
physiology and the energy wave pattern produced by the biomagnetic fields of
our body's cells. To maintain our physical integrity the Kung Fu TO'A
techniques are based on specific angles and patterns.
Activities of cells and tissues generate electrical fields that can be
detected on the surface of human skin. The laws of physics state that any
electrical current generates a corresponding magnetic field in the
surrounding space. Therefore all the tissues and organs produce specific
magnetic pulsations which are known as biomagnetic fields. The human body
floats in a sea of magnetic fields and every cell and atom of the body is a
small magnetic dynamo.
There are a variety of scientific disciplines upon which our techniques
are based. Essentially the human body is made of energy and matter. Energy
and matter are interchangeable. Human is energy. Our energy transforms from
one kind to another; we feel and live based on the energy in our body and
the balance of this energy.
One of the basic concepts of Kung Fu TO'A is to establish the correct
interaction between nature and ourselves. The first interaction is between
our body and nature. Gravity is a vital force for everyone; but we need to
have a way of living that deals with gravity. The constitution of the entire
universe is based on this single force and therefore this force effects our
body and mind. One of the many interesting concepts that have been used in
our techniques is that of Wave and Anti-wave motion. Performing these
techniques enables students to establish a perfect balance between the body
and nature (earth). This is the reason that every stance and technique are
based on a specific angle which circulates energy through our entire body.
This is an endless path: to seek all the wisdom for the human, the
masterpiece of creation.
- Eight Principals of Dynamic Performance.
The performance of Kung Fu TO'A techniques is an art which combines mind,
body and spirit. I will explain why these techniques will provide a healther
mind and body. Every technique requires the application of fundamental
principals of TO'A physical training. There are eight principals that we
should follow when we perform our techniques. Following these steps will
eventually enable students to perform in a more coherent, unified way which
we call unification between mind and body.
- The concept of technique.
- The role of technique in defense and attack.
- The starting point, direction, ending point, and
angle of body for each technique.
- The harmony between arms and legs.
- The reaction of technique.
- Applying circular motion during performance of
techniques.
- Power and energy release from the body's energy
source.
- Breathing and concentration.
The maximum power can be achieved when most of the air has exited from
the lungs. This is the reason why we say during our training. Breathing is
the source of energy. We are surrounded with a universal form of energy.
Every time we breath we enter this unique energy into our body. Once we
concentrate and focus on this energy then this energy starts to activate and
influence our mind and body in a positive way. Therefore we must focus our
attention on this energy when we breathe. The biggest source of energy in
the human body is 7.5cm below the navel, close to the fourth vertibra of the
spinal cord. Tremendous amounts of energy are stored at this point; we
constantly unleash and release energy from this source.
Remember, the human body is essentially energy. Matter and energy are
interchangeable.
