Yes, Stephen Chow studies a Chinese form of martial arts known as Wing Chun.

Only a person who is physically well trained will be able to open them completely. With that you also have to meditate.Ill tell you one-Join your thumb and your index finger tips and enchant the word 'lam'.Concentrate between your anus and your bladder.To check how much of your gates are open go and give the chakra test.

It all requires simple meditation. There is no spell or incantation, or fast way to do it.

It's easy, but it takes time. You need to take the time needed to meditate and completely clear your mind of all thoughts.

When you have reached that state, you simply need to focus on a particular chakra (we'll use the root chakra first), and imagine it as a ball of energy. The colour of it will depend on the chakra itself. The root chakra is typically associated with a deep red.

Imagine the ball small, but then slowly growing bigger and bigger. I usually let it grow until it's about the size of the palm of my hand. Then, just imagine it blossoming. Imagine the energy reaching out and touching things in front of you. Let its energy flow through body; get accustomed to how it feels. Then, bring everything back into the chakra itself, but imagine it still as a large ball. "Tell" it to stay open, and be receptive.

Move on to the next chakra, and repeat the process. This will open up each chakra in time. Just working with them in general opens them up dramatically. But start with the root, and work your way up. Just because the third eye, or crown, may sound more appealing in what they offer than the root, it is essential that you begin with the root and work your way up.

An excellent site that also describes the use of hand gestures, and sounds to open them, can be located at the following:

The biggest step is to be aware of what is around you and avoid dangerous situations.

Take a self-defense class, or study a martial art for a good amount of time.

Another option is, to always have a self defense weapon with you, or any other self defense product (pepper spray, taser, whistle).

Basicially to protect his homeland or defeat any enemy.

Im not sure if China is the only place you can to this in, but if you click on your phone it should say something live invite over next ranked tournament opponent. Then you just spar with them, once you win, you invite over the next person.

Yes, If there is an animal then they is a Kung Fu style behind it.

You just act like you not afraid and throw a punch as hard as you can.

Its best not to hold one period, or you'll end up in prison. However if you live in a bad neighborhood and you need it for self defense, or intimidation against potential physical assault, most people favor the "oriental" hold. Remember that shower scene from the movie "Psycho?" I believe that is the oriental hold; the hold "hides" the blade a little bit, making it unpredictable, plus, you can use the but of the handle to strike different parts of the body as a "left hook." You can't slash with the hold you can only stab, but, the damage is much more severe and because of the blade's position, the knife is much more difficult to take away.

Personally though................ don't pull out a knife on someone, that is a sure trip to prison.

well this is a different person here but i learned to hold the knife so the blade was facing the right outside of my fist and the sharpened part forward so you can slash, block, stab, and punch so yea

{| |- | The number of levels varies from school to school and style to style. They are usually divided into two categories, those before blackbelt and those after. In kung fu there are usually few levels, while in karate there are 10 ranks of blackbelt. The kyu levels vary from four to 12 or even 15. |}

In modern times, laypersons and street-fighters will attempt to define virtually anything to do with fighting or combat as "Martial Art." The confusion of this term having an etymology coming from the Roman mythology for God of War contributes to the misguided definition. The earliest known usage of this term was applied to the art of fencing (sword fighting) specifically because of the blend between a formidable, refined skill of combat with a code of honor and ethical conduct. The early use of the term "Martial Art" in connection with unarmed combat was an English translation of the "Warrior Way" as taught throughout Asia. Combat and skilled soldiers have existed throughout history, but the unique term of "Martial Art" originally described those who studied a blend of deadly unarmed combat with an enlightened philosophy of harmony between body, mind, and spirit.

The primary differences in the various systems of Martial Art (other than geographical origin and language used) is mostly characterized by the primary focus of techniques and tactics during a fight. Unarmed combat is typically categorized first by range. Long range is for kicking as well as most hand strikes. Medium range is for use of elbows, and knees. Close range is for grappling.

The techniques are usually divided into three main categories: 1. striking (hands, feet, elbows, knees, etc.), 2. throwing (sweeps, reaps, flips and take-downs), and 3. grappling (pressure points, joint locks, chokes, holds, and escapes) which can be done in a variety of positions, but is most commonly associated with ground-fighting.

Each school of Martial Art follows a particular philosophy of tactical preference. Some prefer striking over throws and grappling, although they usually include some of each category. Systems like Korean Tae Kkyeon and the modern version of Taekwondo place the primary emphasis on kicking the opponent, and use the hands elbows and knees as secondary striking tools. Authentic Taekwondo schools will also include throwing and grappling, but the strategy is geared more toward release and escape to return to a striking advantage.

Systems like Chinese Kara-te, Japanese Karate-do, Okinawa-te place more emphasis on hand, elbow, and knee strikes. In this approach, kicking is a secondary tool, and throws or grappling are practiced, but not preferred. Again, the idea is to avoid ground-fighting when possible, but not be inept at defense against a grappler.

Japanese jujutsu, and Brazilian jujitsu (various spellings used) combine the striking with grappling with a greater emphasis on ground-fighting tactics. The objective is to take the opponent to the ground, and either submit them, injure joints, or choke them into unconsciousness.

Japanese Judo was developed by Jigoro Kano, who had studied jujutsu, but preferred a more "gentle" approach that focused almost exclusively on throwing the opponent, and follow up chokes and holds on the ground. The main strategy is to use the aggression, and body weight of the opponent to off-balance them, and slam them to the ground with a powerful, and painful impact. Foot sweeps, leg reaps, and a variety of flips and throws are the primary techniques.

Aikido is another Japanese art (created by Morihei Ueshiba) as an alternative to the more brutal approach in Jujutsu. While there are various schools of Aikido that have returned to a more aggressive approach, including some violent strikes, the founders philosophy was in "Harmony of spirit" or the "Art of Coordinated Energy." The attackers blows are divided into linear or circular attacks, and redirects the energy in any of the directions of the compass to send the opponent hurling away, spiraling down, or being reversed abruptly. The most violent aspect in a life-or-death struggle in Aikido would be to direct the opponent into a nearby wall, post, car, or some other solid object.

Korean Hapkido adopted the methods of Aikido while adding into it the devastating kicks and strikes. Hapkido begins with the same flowing avoidance, parries and redirections of Aikido, but tends to have a more brutal approach to sharp, snappy, and powerful finishing moves.

Kung Fu or wushu is the Chinese approach to fighting where the student is taught to perform moves that imitate the natural defenses of various animals. There are many forms or "styles" of Kung Fu, and each one differs greatly in the technical approach, but follows the same basic philosophy. Like most traditional forms of Marital Art, fighting is taught as a form of self defense to be used only when necessary. In Kung Fu, the philosophy is to avoid rather than check, check rather than hurt, hurt rather than maim, and maim rather than kill. They are taught that all life is precious, and the taking of a life is only as a last resort, but also that sometimes you must do what is necessary to prevent a greater evil. Sometimes you must cut off a finger to save a hand, a hand to save an arm, or an arm to save a life.

Sometimes, the various systems of Martial Art are categorized by being either a "hard or soft style," and "internal or external style." Hard refers to the striking systems that intend to cause physical damage to the opponent's body. "Soft" refers to the systems that redirect the opponent's force, and use momentum, gravity, and other natural forces as weapons. "Internal" systems are those that focus more on the spiritual aspects, and use ki or chi (universal or spiritual energy) as a power source. "External" denotes those that apply more muscular body strength, and applied force through laws of physics. Most Martial Art systems combine elements of each, but have a prominent feature that favors one or two.

Many ancient and modern sports have been created based on skills of the Martial Art, but are actually sports or games played under a set of rules. The Martial Art is a way of life for a warrior who is capable of ending a life with great skill, but has the self control, restraint, and a warrior's code that promotes just actions. A Martial Art is an educational system that teaches not only advanced, scientific fighting skills, but also the difference between right and wrong, and the virtue of doing what is right. A Martial Artist learns to appreciate beauty in life and various forms of art (poetry, music, painting, calligraphy, etc), harmony with the nature of forces in the universe, and lives with honor and integrity, seeking spiritual enlightenment. This is a common thread throughout all genuine Martial Art systems. Otherwise, it is just mindless brawling, street fighting , and gang-bangers, masquerading as a Martial Art.

You either hit the point with the appropriate amount of force. Knowing where the pressure points are and how to attack them is something only taught to experienced martial artists. Without the appropriate knowledge, it is very easy to hurt someone very badly with results that neither party will be happy about.

Age requirements are totally at the discretion of the instructor. Some don't like teaching children or teenagers and will only teach adults. Others will teach anyone with the proper attitude.

He died 2 years ago from cancer. He had several movies in the late 70's and early 80's but ultimately was just another blaxpolitation actor who wasn't able to continue working once the genre drop out of vogue.

It takes about 3 years to get your first degree. Then you have to be a first degree for 1 year, a second degree for 2 years, and so on. So probably about 6 years.

In my style the absolute minimum would be eight years.
