:: History

by master Naser Kaderpour

The techniques of self defense has a history as long as the history of ourselves, the human beings. If we want to get to know the art of Kung Fu better, as it is described in numerous old letters, we need to look back several thousand years. We must look in the far East and in the early human societies and tribes to find the roots of this style of art.

An old Chinese story tells about Kempo that a worshiper of Buddah with the name Darumataishi, travelled from India to China to teach the Chinese emperor Liang about buddhism. His journey to China was long and dangerous, which even today is considered a difficult route. He needed strength and physical and mental stamina, so great that it is hard to imagine. He built a temple called Shaolin Szu. Here he lived and practised his belives.

The strict discipline Darumataishi executed on his students made them tired and lonely. And because of to much excerises of concentration, it often happened that some of them fell in a "coma". Later he told them that the goal of buddhism is to purify the soul, but that the soul and the body can not be sepparated. If the body is physically weak, the body can not be puryfied.

Darumataishi spent nine years to create a better physical force. He retired and lived in solatary in his own world. During this periode he discovered som fast motions for arms and legs. These motions are the basis for the Kung-fu we know today. After a while his students were the best warriors in China, and the art he'd thaught them were known as Kung-fu or Chinese boxing. Adventually it became the national sport of China.

**********

Kung-fu, as it is in Kurdistan and Iran, is with no doubt a result of professor Ibrahim Mirzai's hard work.
Mirzai's got the red belt in Kung-fu, and he's the scientific founder of Kung-fu TOA in Kurdistan and Iran.

Roundkick and roundpunch, pounches through the air with great strength and one-on-one fighting, were the partisipants use hands and feet to fight and defend themselves, are the specialities of Kung-fu TOA. In Kung-fu TOA we use the arms 50% and the feet 50%. And this is to be strictly followed.
This discipline has got 73,000 techniques and reactions.
The truth is that Kung-fu TOA was introduced as a better martial art than the Chinese. This resulted in many annoyed Chinese trainers, and they started a campaign against Kung-fu TOA.

At last I want to say that in Kung-fu TOA you first have to know yourself and then the truths. Then you will achieve devine strength.
