A Challenge:

[BennyMeng]

In one simple sentence, can someone convince me of the benefit and purpose of learning Hung Fa Yi? Assume I am someone looking for direction in life.

Good luck!

[Levi]

Hung Fa Yi is the science of identifying and dealing with the reality of the moment mentally, physically, and spiritually, and is applicable to every aspect of your life.

[Cang Long]

A shaolin based science such as Hung Fa Yi is not something you train it is a state of mind or level of awareness you improve towards.

[JamesHFYofAZ]

I don't thing that I could give it to you in one sentence, But the system with show one what they need to know and help them find what they are searching for. It has for me, just my view.

Good luck! Learning HFY will help you find the means to see how everything (relationships, work, home, schooling, social life, and combat, etc...) is connected, and how you can balance/harmonize yourself amongst it all!

words are cheap, this cuts out the all the BS and gets to the point while making sense.

[Damodardas108]

"Self Realization"- complete knowledge of one's true nature and constitutional position in the reality of time, space and energy.

[ddalton]

Well the statment, "Assume you're looking for direction in life."
Tells me you can find it virtually in any other martial arts with
good instructors.
Discipline, friendship, health, self-esteem, confidence, self-defense etc.


However, if you're just looking for techniques or flashy moves
HFY is not for you. If you're looking for an art that shows you
a core concept that can apply to any other art then you've found the right one...HFY.

HFY takes a scientifc logical view of combat. Time, Space, Energy..efficiency..quickness...these core facts if learned throughly can be applied when learning other arts. Over three hundred years of blood, sweat, and tears have been shed to perfect a fighting system that is beyond any modern art today.

"Hung Fa Yi provides a Philosophy that is self develomental and an insight into combat that is three dimensional."

I was told by a wise man some years ago that a true martial art was Real, Spontaineous, and Complete. I now use this measurement for almost everything that I encounter, especially in the Fau Kiu stage.

If Hung Fa Yi teaches you, in principle and in practice, how to enact goodness efficiently, then it is of ultimate benefit to your life.

[dmilner321]

I'll give it a shot:

Hung Fa Yi will teach you how to achieve a balance of time, space and energy wherever you are and the direction it provides which begins in the study of martial science extends far beyond that into avenues of life such as the workplace, education, home life, and social interaction.

The one sentence is tough without using a lot of and...and...and....

[JK Walz]

HFY is a tool through which one attempts to gain a better understanding of reality.

[Savi]

In one simple sentence, can someone convince me of the benefit and purpose of learning Hung Fa Yi? Assume I am someone looking for direction in life. What you will learn from HFY is applicable to anything and everything you are looking for in life; it's very universal in that respect.

[Brad Ryan TX]

HFY is a vehicle that will systematicly teach you about your nature and relationship to other things in life with exact focus.

[Op108wc]

HFY wing chun, it is beautiful and real. You begin to see that there are seasons in your kung fu life in the same way as there are seasons in nature.

"What one learns should be abundant but not miscellaneous; it should be simple and not narrow."

This maxim seems to have been wriiten for Hung Fa Yi wing chun !!!!

[Cang Long]

A good walker leaves no tracks;
A good speaker makes no slips;
A good reckoner needs no tally.
A good door needs no lock,
Yet no one can open it.
Good binding requires no knots,
Yet no one can loosen it.

Therefore the sage takes care of all men
And abandons no one.
He takes care of all things
And abandons nothing.

This is called "following the light."

What is a good man?
A teacher of a bad man.
What is a bad man?
A good man's charge.
If the teacher is not respected,
And the student not cared for,
Confusion will arise, however clever one is.
This is the crux of mystery.
