Buddha Zhen and the Chamber of Commerce Buddha Kung Fu, "The school for making Buddhas™," was founded in 2008 by Buddha Zhen, using the Northern Shaoiin and Yang Tai Chi curriculums of his Shaolin Chi Mantis traditional Buddhist Gongfu school. BKF_eNEWS September 2011 Official newsletter of Buddha Kung Fu. Richard Del Connor Is Attending Chamber of Commerce Meetings Somewhere in Montrose there must be someone who can be on our Board of Trustees. But not yet.

Please help us get some people to this tournament. We need more people to make it better for the competitors. More competitors = more divisions = more fair. When a 5' 4" person competes in Push Hands against a 6' person, it isn't fair. Push Hands is about skill, not the longest arms or most body weight. The more evenly matched the competitors, the more challenging and rewarding the competition is.

This is really impressive at demonstrations. Keep practicing with a partner and stay ready for upcoming tournaments and performances. There is a picture of Buddha Zhen receiving an award from the Chinese Assocation of Utah. Close examination of Disciple Bo Jie-Ming's staff will reveal that BZ "chopped" the end off during the performance. Buddha Zhen keeps extra staffs in storage to replace your staff with, when that happens.

It wasn't the most legible font, but it was of Chinese character and looked cool. These newer editions are being created for ebooks you can carry and read on your iPhone or iPad. Although you may want these smaller versions, make sure to get the 8.5" x 11" versions of our books for printing them and putting them into notebooks. These larger versions are the more accurate and traditional versions. They also provide more room for writing your answers when you print them out.

Students beat their staffs with their "Buddha Bones" to the song pumped through the P.A. system. More students = more staffs = more clacking = more cool. Practice to the song before our tournaments so you can play with authority and confidence.

This website, actZEN.com, was created for actors, but still is relevant and beneficial to everyone. These will be considered acceptable for Buddha Kung Fu class.

Several sources and martial arts experts agree that Bodhidharma studied Kalaripayattu before trekking to China. I never thought that Bodhidharma invented Kung Fu. He merely added it to Chinese Buddhism to create Chan Buddhism. This Chan Buddhism is referred to as Zen Buddhism in Japan, but they had to remove the Kung Fu to make it legal.

This one year is really the Beginner Level of Buddha Kung Fu. Stripe #4 will represent the first belt rank level of the Intermeiate Level of Buddha Kung Fu. This would mark the attainment of the first level of the Intermediate Level. Earn your stripes!

Now that the Chinese Olympics are over, and Tai Chi was excluded from the Olympics, it will be interesting to see where the world looks for Tai Chi. The BEIJING OLYMPIC FORMS are less significant now. Even WuShu has less viability in the future, as it was created by the Chinese government and lacks the family and tradition of all other Kung Fu styles. Buddha Kung Fu uses the TAI CHI SHORT FORM of SHAOLIN CHI MANTIS. This has several modifications from the Tai Chi Form taught by Master Ho. Tai Chi is a DAOIST MARTIAL ART: http://www.shaolinZEN.org/daoismTaijiquanZ.html ____________________________________ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ____________________________________ 11. -- Podcasts, Radio Shows, and Television Interviews of BUDDHA ZHEN -- Zen Buddhist Podcast "BUDDHISM BASICS" of Shaolin Zen Buddha Zhen continues the "BUDDHISM BASICS" of the shaolinZEN.org CyberTemple.
