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.

  XUAN KICH: The 18 Strategies

   

 

 

 

          

     XUAN KICH is a significant martial arts form (quyen or kata) developed by Master Phan Hoang at the age of 87 in 2023. This exceptional work comprises five layers. The first layer includes 18 movements that are executed in a straight line from East to West. The second layer combines these movements with a new concept of training and fighting, which challenges the traditional approach to martial arts. The third layer adds 18 martial art strategies to these movements. The fourth layer, which is almost invisible, contains a theory on Peace and War based on the interpretation of the name of each strategy. Finally, the fifth layer involves oral teaching and learning between the teacher and the student, covering topics derived from the Xuan Kich, an integral mind and body practice.

  POST 40             April  2024

 

  

 

 

 

 

I wish you a Happy Easter if you celebrate it.

In this Post 40 you will find a text on KHAU QUYET, an Exercise, and a Training NHAT LUYEN DAM.

We let you discover by yourself the deep meaning and benefits from these learning since no one can do the practice for you.

NOTE: Please try to discover that the Hitting Method NHAT LUYEN DAM is really a challenge, not only physically but also mentally. Many black-belts have failed this test of doing it 108 rounds! Many of them also failed to perform it correctly in four directions! And some others ask the question: “Why should we learn NHAT LUYEN DAM when we already know how to hit hard?” I hope you will find out that NHAT LUYEN DAM trains us to put various hitting techniques into a System, and the power of a system lies upon the immense capacity for the development of other applications to each technique. A good technician is needed for operating a machine, but an excellent engineer is needed to create the machine.

KHAU QUYET

Literally “Khau-Quyet” is a short message – one phrase or two – difficult to understand the real meaning for someone from outside. It carries a key to discover a secret or to understand the deep meaning of a teaching transmitted from master to disciples. Also Khau-Quyet is read as a memory technique to remember things.

So, Khau-Quyet is a short message for a secret  teaching, or simply a memory tool, depending on the circumstance.

In my teaching of “Warm-up Techniques” I made the use of two different Vietnamese terms for one English word “Warm-up”.

WARM-UP (Echauffement) =

a)      TAP NONG NGUOI             (Voviet – Vietvodao)

b)      KHOI-DONG                       (Viettaichi, Vietchikiem, Vietkhiphap etc.)

-Why? – This is not a problem of translation; this is a matter of transmitting the spirit (the Mind) of what is taught.

Remember: Voviet-Vietvodao = Art of fighting
while the other remaining 7 disciplines are: Art of Body-Mind Education, except Chi Vat that is in between the two groups.

This is my Khau-Quyet for “Khoi-Dong” Warm-up training:

“KHOI DONG: THAN CHUYEN DONG

TAM THEO THAN, KHONG DONG”- Phan Hoang 28-03-2012

Translation? We are waiting for different version from Translation Committee.

Phan Hoang

KHAU QUYET
Letteralmente "Khau-Quyet" è un breve messaggio - una frase o due  il cui vero significato è difficile da capire  per persone esterne al contesto. Contiene una chiave per scoprire un segreto o per comprendere il significato profondo di un insegnamento trasmesso dal maestro ai discepoli. Inoltre il  Khau-Quyet viene letto come una tecnica di memorizzazione per ricordare qualcosa. Quindi, il Khau-Quyet è un breve messaggio per un insegnamento segreto, o semplicemente uno strumento di memorizzazione, a seconda delle circostanze.
Nel mio insegnamento di "Tecniche di Riscaldamento" ho fatto l'uso di due diversi termini vietnamiti per una stessa parola inglese "Warm-up".
WARM-UP (riscaldamento) =
a) TAP NONG Nguoi (Voviet - Vietvodao)
b) KHOI-DONG (Viettaichi, Vietchikiem, Vietkhiphap ecc)
-Perché? - Questo non è un problema di traduzione, questa è una questione di trasmissione  dello spirito (la mente) di ciò che viene insegnato.
Ricorda: Voviet-Vietvodao = Arte di  Combattere
mentre le altre rimanenti 7 discipline sono: Arti di Educazione per Corpo-Mente, eccetto il  Chi Vat che si trova in mezzo ai due gruppi.
Questo è il mio Khau-Quyet per l’allenamento del"Khoi-Dong" Warm-up :

"Dong Khoi: OLTRE Chuyen DONG
TAM DI THEO, Khong DONG "- Phan Hoang 28-03-2012 


Traduzione? Siamo in attesa delle varie versioni dal comitato di traduzione.
