Chapter 6 Iron Crutch Kung Fu A Kung Fu form is a series of offensive and defensive techniques placed into a dance form. These forms last anywhere from one to ten minutes. While studying Kung Fu, I learned several traditional Shaolin Praying Mantis Forms that I translated into Crutch Forms. I have called these Iron Crutch Forms. Each form takes an average of six months to learn. Each form is like a visual book read to the audience. As a book, I describe it with words one technique at a time....

When being attacked by an assailant, they come at you from their favorite position; standing. Moreover, for the sake of this lesson, they attack you with either a punch or a grab.

Yes, lets speak like we are engineers. As though we are building something. Step 1. What is the level of your passion to get involved? The first step to rebuilding someone’s life after a physical injury is to announce the reason why you will take the effort to do so. If your level of interest falls into the 2nd or 3rd category then nothing is more important to you than what you will read next, because what I am offering is a possibility to find a peace of mind and even an excitement of a life...

I am going to congratulate you now. Right here at the start. The very fact that you have picked up a book about martial arts for those students who are injured means that you have a highly inquisitive mind. A mind that is curious allows a person to step away from the ‘cattle’ mentality that exists in every culture. Cattle mentality is a psychological disposition in which you do what you are told. You don’t think original thoughts. You think the same thoughts as those around you. That is...
