Following The Ways of The Drunken Master is not easy. Apart

from the Drinking bit thereof. Therein then and after. These Ways

bend and sway in Ways more so. So more unusual

is the consistent

Top-Ups too. To Keep in Top Gear. Drunkenly Defending. Self.

 

Cheers.

 

 

To

Drink

and Defend.

Master that Drive.

Drunk,..

can in deed be Hard Work indeed. In the Annals

and Chronicles.

Of Yore. Martial Techniques can be found in

many Ways. Ways

 

that mimic Movements, Attitudes, Postures,

Approaches. Of

an Idealised Object/Creature. Many Animal Forms

and/or Styles within many Martial Arts. Arts

 

of Drunkenness too. To

 

 

simply and so understand the Hows

of this Art

is straightforward. Straight

as an Arrow and Focused You

MIND MUST BE... Whilst

 

Your BODY… Parties. On and Ons. Drunkenly.

 

That’s the Hard bit. Thereof. Herein too. To

and for. For

the purposes of Research and Alls that

jazzy stuff… i, Shiro

are Drinking. Drinking NOW. As i so writ. Hard

stuff so nomened

 

cos it’s liquidy soft, actually according to

My Senses of Finger.

 

 

Though tastes, bites pretty hard i, Shiro do, does

agree. There. With that.

On My Tongue. Also

 

Key Herein is this;

THINK… Then Drink…

AND Keep Thinking;..

Becoming The Flow…

 

 

Awareness is a State of Mind engendered when One

contemplates Arts of Self-Defence. As One Thinks of

Survival instinctively and flowing within, One sees merit

for applying common sensical, basic approaches.

 

The Act of Being... Drunk.

A Mind and Body State the Majority of Us Adults

 

have gone through. Go through

in Drunkenness.

A Loss and Lack. Of Control ensues.

Of some and many Personality Characteristics.

 

Separation of Body + Mind... incomplete.

No Drunken… Master. Therein. That Glassy eyed View.

 

 

The Ancient Chinese Masters who Originated such Systems well

understood the Connection ‘tween Alcohol

and Violence In Our World. Legends Tell Tales so. Thus

When an Ego is so inflated and emboldened all

pretence of Civility disappears. Goes. Aways. Thus

 

To IMPRESS upon the Mind therefore the usual Civil Niceties.

The Kata and Forms of the Drunken Ways are ALWAYS Led

into with sufficient Prep, Intro. Attached. The Techniques

are not whimsical,..

 

following still the proper Respect of Tradition.

 

Monkeying Arounds:

The Slide-Show.

 

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

 

 

The emphasis is on Fluidity, Flexibility, Flowing Movements.

Each Showing/Highlighting a Change in Tactics/Response.

 

These are clearly tied to the Main Principles of such Systems

and the Unity of the Philosophies relating to Self-Defence.

 

Reflecting a (…GODAI... )

5 Element Concept.

 

5 Main Variations of The

Monkeying Ways:

 

• ♦ Tall
• ♦ Wooden
• ♦ Stone
• ♦ Lost
• ♦ Drunk

 

 

• ♦ Tall: Styles include less of the Tumbling arounds and mores of

Upper Body Level Combat Work combined with Pressure Point Targeting.

 

• ♦ Wooden: Styles include mores of the Grappling Combat Applications,

Techniques and Methods. Direct, Focused, almost Angry in Approach.

 

• ♦ Stone: Styles include mores of the Solid Defensive Works, Stances/Forms.

Upright, resilient, balanced, rigid and strong. Vital Areas Targeted.

 

• ♦ Lost: As is. An Art of strange,

almost awkward confused meanderings and Movements which

unleashes the Blocks, Strikes, Counters from surprising Directions/Timing.

 

 

With;..

The 5 Guiding Movement/Principles

of The Drunken Arts:

 

• ♦ Movement must be Unusual, Unpredictable, Upset the Opponent.
• ♦ Movement must Blind, Bluff, Fake and Feint.
• ♦ Movement must Scare, Surprise, Frighten the Opponent.
• ♦ Movement must Negate and Counter Attacks.
• ♦ Movement must be Drunkenly Deceptive, Disruptive.

 

• ♦ The Drunken Ways involve Flexible, Responsive, Flowing

Movements, with a somewhat wobbly, wonky...

Spring in Your Step. Staggering

 

 

in such Ways during such Actions;..

thus becomes an Added Power. Momentum Gathers.

That then. Falls per se. On and To Your Oppo.

Crashing through.

 

Combining a Focused Intent and MindSet

that is. Is that

of Survival, Self-Defence… through and for…

 

ALLs Your Ways. Of Life. And

Partying Ons as well. Well as

adding Fitness, Flexibility (... Body + Mind…),

New Techniques that Flow.

 

To and for. Your Repertoire.

 

 

In Our World. Legends from those of the Martial Monkey King

have oft impressed, surprised

and entertained. The confusing actions, rolls and tumbles, falls

and

spills abound. Techniques that surprise with style and direction.

Students

are very relaxed, intentionally reminded and taught

to be so. Even when

 

applying very strong and powerful actions. Fast

and efficient flowing, furious at times.

Smooth yet stuttered, upsetting concentration and

focus of Opponent.

 

The Monkey Movements so mimicked are brought forward

with the appropriate Facial Features contorted too. To ape

in deed such Animal

Ways as well. Well as. One must... look the part. Even

if alcoholised. To

 

the Max. Cheers and Hic. Hoorays. To that.

 

 

Other Natures of the Our World Drunken Styles

also can be found within Arts Martial

such as HUNG FUT

with the “…Drunken Immortal…” Forms therein.

 

Hung Fut also has a “...Left-Hand Fighting Form…”

for the ambidextrous. Of Us.

 

ZUI QUAN… The Drunken Fist… is another, so drunk

and steeped

in such Ways.

A Combo of exotic WU-SHU and KUNG FU.

 

Combative Strikes and related Actions smoothly hide

behind unsteady

Drunk like swaying Moves/Techniques.

Hand Postures oft resemble Cup Holding or Pouring Positions.

Acrobatic Techniques are also incorporated into stumbling,

staggering Steps, Leaps, Rolls, Tumbles.

 

Unorthodox. Great Visual Appeal as well. Well as

 

 

Basically… When and If You...

Get Wired with Wine.

In That Mind and Body State;..

When Defence required:

 

Think Outside that Box. Just Flow.

Aways.

Survive.

 

Hangovers… optional.

 

 

Mastering Drunk Drinking…

Feel more so than foolishly Drunk on emo.

Do Share. Herein.

 

Those Times, Places of indiscretion.

When so Full of Good Cheer... You…

did so Well and Good. Worth a Cheer. That was.

 

A Foolish Moment… that

You So Mastered. Then… or

 

Just Spilled Such Joys,.. All Arounds.
