		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.   Post 19 for July 2022 Master Phan Hoang,

		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.

18 PST June2022 - The Form KHAI MON

 18 PST June2022 - The Form KHAI MON

		Blog  www.vietchidaoofficial.blogspot.com POST 18  June 2022 KHAI MON  The Legacy of Khai-Mon Quyen
		The Legacy of Khai-Mon Quyen  Punctuation and Permutation. In 1982, at the Instituto Gerini, Roma, Master Phan Hoang created the form KHAI-MON Quyen.  Its unique properties helped make Khai-Mon a great Quyen, a very rare contribution to the advance of martial art studies. One of the most powerful invention in the form of Khai-Mon is that each of the eight “sacred animal” is considered as a group of symbols of things  rather than a single animal . More importantly, each group is independent.  Another very helpful invention in Khai-Mon is the creation of a specific movement executed between two “sacred animals”, which is the equivalence to the ‘punctuation’ in alphabet. In some sense, Khai-Mon has greatly contributed to the creation of a kind of martial-art-alphabet. Why martial-art-alphabet is important to the study and the progress of martial arts and its numerous related arts? Without having a system of writing people are illiterate. Although they can speak and communicate verbally, we can easily imagine how progress, in many aspects of life, could be difficult to them without a writing system. The best thing in our alphabet is not the creation of A, B, C … but the invention of punctuation marks (coma, semi-colon and period are among the most important). So far, until the creation of the form Khai-Mon, the martial arts did not have a writing system or a punctuation convention. To illustrate the importance of this issue of punctuation let us consider the following well-known example:     “King Charles walked and talked half an hour after his head was cut off.” Does this phrase make sense? Of course, it does not make sense.  In this case, clearly the blame is on the lack of punctuation at the middle of the phrase. In many cases, the demonstration and the study of martial-art-forms (kata/quyen) are in a similar situation: confusion of the sense of the kata/quyen. Thanks to the invention of   Khai-mon-punctuation system the road of progress is wide opened.  New kata/quyen created under the influence of Khai-mon-grammar fit much better to modern methods of studying, analysing, assessing, criticizing and synthesizing; starting with a number of kata/quyen of  VOVIET-Vietvodao International, VIETTAICHI, and VIET-CHI-KIEM. Punctuation helps build separate groups and set relation rule. Thanks to this, independent groups of movements (inside a kata/quyen) can now be easily studied with the application of mathematical formulas such as in permutation, combination, golden number, matrix etc. A whole world of Strategy and Game Theory is now at the reach of such a modern kata/quyen of  Khai-mon-style. Secret is just a knowledge that the others do not know. In this sense, there are many secrets in the kata/quyen of KHAI-MON. Khai-Mon is a legacy I wish to transmit to you for the sake of progress and for the good of humanity. You cannot learn all that at once even you were a fourth dan, fifth dan or ten dan; we need to be humble and proceed step by step each time you meet me or when I can write to you. Perhaps a Book of Khai-Mon one day could help. But for now, please be patient and learn a few things in this letter, as follows. ----------------------------------    Khai-Mon  has eight groups of things symbolized as sacred animals as it follows: 1.Group LONG Dragon 2. Group PHUNG Phoenix 3. Group XA Snake 4. Group HAU Monkey 5. Group QUY Turtle 6. Group HO Tiger 7. Group LAN  Unicorn. 8. Group HAC Crane.     The dispositions and the evolutions (moves) of Khai-Mon as you have probably learned  how to execute it is called: The Initial Khai-Mon version.  Charles Phan Hoang
