" Without a path to follow there is no root, Without a root the tree cannot
blossom. A false path breeds a false teaching and art "
廣西鐵牛風格
A family tree is what every traditional Chinese kung fu school is proud to be a part of. It represents who we are, where we come from, how it all began, it gives us the history and knowledge that comes with it as for remembering the ones before us. If not for them, we wouldn’t even had the chance to follow the traditional Chinese martial arts path.
Its because of their dedication, perserverce, loyalty and hard work, we still have the possiblity to learn this unique deadly fighting style. Therefore a family tree should be respected and honored by every kung fu student at all times. There is on old Chinese saying that goes as follow:
" Water may never forget it's source "
In modern times many martial arts schools give less attention to their lineage or don’t even have one to begin with. Some even start inventing their own family tree by adding and changing names...over and over again. This is just a lack of respect for themselves as for the tradition, martial ethics and their art. They do this because they are actually afraid of what tomorrow could bring them, that they start to forget to live today:
" Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift "
Remember, everything starts with respect. No one can change the past. Not you, not me or anybody...who are we to do so? Respect your lineage,your ancestors, your style, your kung fu school and your sifu! as the kung fu tradition demands. This is the foundation of everything.
