 LOA THANH Quyen

 

The VIETVODAO INTERNATIONAL was created in Limoges, France, in 1972 by seven Vietnamese Masters:

Master NGUYEN DAN PHU (60) - Thanh-Long; Montluçon;

Master BUI VAN THINH (60) - Massy-Palaiseau;

Master NGUYEN TRUNG HOA (59) - Thai-Son-Lam; Saint-Maurice;

Master HOANG NAM (40) - Kung-Fu; Paris;

Master TRAN PHUOC TASTEYRE (29) - Han-Bai; Massy;

Master PHAM XUAN TONG (25) - Quan-Ky; La Seyne-sur-Mer; and

 Master PHAN HOANG (36) -Nghia-Long Institute, Limoges.

 

The official Vietvodao training program was then developed through the unique contributions of each master. One such contribution was LOA THANH Quyen, introduced by Master NGUYEN Trung Hoa, which became a significant addition to the collection of martial forms. In December 1974, Master Phan Hoang, the founding president, officially released a poster of Loa Thanh, comprising 63 pictures arranged in 8 columns and 7 rows. The images, created by artist Minh Thao KhamManh, depicted movements performed by black-belt Do Long.

The name LOA THANH is inspired by the historic Co Loa Castle, located near present-day Hanoi. This archaeological site, believed to date back to the 3rd century BCE, is significant for its cultural and historical value. The castle is famous for its unique, concentric earthen ramparts, which once formed nine spiraled rings.

 

Today, the Loa Thanh form is practiced by martial artists worldwide. In 2024, Master Tue-Minh from Tokyo revised the form, and his work, including cards, exercises, and a video, is featured in Post 46 (October 2024) on www.vietchidaoofficial.blogspot.com.

  Tố Nữ Hiến Lụa

Offering of Silk

 T N Hiến La

Offering of Silk in DAI  LAO Quyen

 

A long time ago there was a young man named TU THUC who went for a walk in a mountain region outside of his village. After wandering for some time, he got lost and came across an elderly woman weaving silk. The woman saw he was distraught but only had silk to offer him. The young man accepted the kind gesture and closed his eyes and held out his hands to receive the silk. Once he opened his eyes there was a beautiful young woman standing before him. He decided to stay a while, and they made a home up in the mountains. Figuring he must be missed, he decided to return to his village. When he returned to his village, he didn’t recognise any of its inhabitants and no one recognised him or his name. Finally, he was directed to the elder in the village who recalled that when he was young his great grandparent told him a story of a young man Tu Thuc who went missing in the mountains generations ago.

 

This story was narrated by GM and written by Alyshea Cummins. (August 2024)

BAT KHI

Eight movements explained

by Master Phan Hoang

 

Movement 1.The salute means to connect to the origins, even if the founder is no longer here. Always starting things with a quiet mind Tinh Tam.

 

Movement 2. There are two ways to ring the bell

·        THINH CHUNG – Soliciting the bell from above (vertical movement)

·        DANH  CHUNG –Hitting the bell horizontally

• The bell is a sacred object, so you must not hit it. Our way is to ask (soliciting) the bell to play by a vertical movement (Mov. 2) to ring the bell; that means we” SOLICIT” the bell.

 

Movement 3. Lotus flower is one of the most beautiful and noble flowers in the world. However, when it is needed, we must use the strategy and technique of Lotus to surprise the adversary, and solve problems.

 

Movement 4.  To travel for a long way be aware of “water” and carefully check it. (“Water” could simply mean water, lake, river, rain , flood and so on, but more importantly: things that have no fixed form, no predictable changing way, no apparent resistance…)

 

Movement 5.  Be solid like an elephant, but moreover, like a “white elephant” (means an old elephant with great memory and strong experiences).

 

Movement 6.  Use a “double knife technique” to deal with snakes since a snake will always “be a snake”. But more interestingly, sometimes we could also apply the “double knife technique” to surprise a rogue aggressor.

 

Movement 7.  Hide the pearl in a deep sea (make your adversary have no hope to win, no way to get any advantage or benefit) 

 

Movement 8.  Quietly, like in a Zen way, aim to vital points of the situation.

Multi aspects (đa dạng) of Bát Khí.

 

 

 

 

 

BÁT KHÍ đa dạng                                                

July 14, 2016

Multi aspects (đa dạng) of Bát Khí.

Advanced teaching from Master Phan Hoang

BAT KHI is an important quyen which was created by Master Phan Hoang and taught for the first time at the Vietvodao Stage 1988 in Ottawa, at Carleton University.

At a first level of learning, Bát Khí seems to be a regular form (quyền) consisting of 8 movements for training our body.  Now at advanced level let us explore the multi aspects of Bát Khí.

- Full name. Lĩnh Nam Bát Khí: The Southern Way (Vietnamese way) of 8 Khí.

Southern= Warm, clarity, creativity, freedom. Versus Northern: cold, formal, rigidity.

This indicates the spirit of this “Southern form” quyền.

 

- 8 Khí. (1) – Usually people often refer to the 6 Khí (Luc Khi) which is well known in acupuncture (i.e the 6 energies: phong, hàn, thử, thấp, táo, hỏa). Here, in our quyen, the term Khí has multi meaning. At first: this are 8 ways or movements to mobilize the Khí through our body. So Bát Khí is a teaching of Inner Energy  Khí Pháp.

(2) – Khí also means the mood, the feeling.

The Buddhist teaching names 7 situations of human being emotion:

            Ai, nộ, hỷ, lạc, ái, ố, dục;

            Sadness, anger, joy, happiness, love, impurity, desire.

 

In Bát Khí we learn to train ourselves with 8 ways of behavior or inner-power:

           

Movement 1 Thiên Khí (Celestial)                  -Lyric: Bái tổ, Tĩnh Tâm       

Movement 2 Hạo Khí (Wide)                         -Lyric: Thỉnh chuông áp đỉnh

Movement 3 Hùng Khí (Heroic)                     -Lyric: Liên hoa xuất quyền

Movement 4 Trầm Khí (Precise, Focused)      -Lyric: Du nhân điểm thủy

Movement 5 Quyết Khí (determined) -Lyric: Thiết thủ bạch tượng

Movement 6 Nội Khí (Inner)              -Lyric: Song đao trảm xà

Movement 7 Trường Khí (Long lasting) -Lyric: Hải để trầm châu

Movement 8 Thâm Khí (Deep)  -Lyric: Thiền nhân điểm huyệt

 

(3) – Khí also means instrument, weapon (võ Khí).  In Bát Khí we learn the 8 ways - using 8 different strategies- dealing with different situations in life:

            1) The quiet way 2) The volunteer way, 3) The lotus way, 4) The Traveler way,

            5) The Elephant iron way, 6) The cutting way, 7) The hidden way, 8) The zen way

 

(4) – In term of meridians and vital points: Bát Khí is related to several meridians:

            Lungs, large intestine, pericardium, stomach, liver, heart, urinary bladder, kidney.

And a number of vital points. This technical part must be treated in a specific document for acupuncturists only.
