Welcome to the Adam Hsu Kung Fu School
It was inevitable that, at some time, a “virtual” martial arts studio—or many of them—would be established. But luck was with us in that the teacher who did it is one of the top authorities on CMA to ever bring his talents to the west. Now Adam Hsu, a noted instructor, has begun a series of martial DVDs offering a new depth to the study that no series has yet equalled.
His first offerings are already outstanding in their depth and breadth, adding lectures, discussions, history, usage, applications, exercises and technical points on each topic covered. Using multiple DVDs, teacher Hsu gives you some experience of his excellent teaching method. Always the complete instructor, he fills in the blanks so many others leave gaping. It is impossible to listen to his instruction without realizing that he is giving more than information, freeing each subject by making the student see the potential for adaptation, variation and customization. All this is to say that when you learn from someone who has authority on a subject, you generally develop some authority yourself. Adam Hsu shares our view that real Kung Fu training is in danger of disappearing while, simultaneously, it is standing before a portal of what could be an information renaissance on the subject. And the subject is worth the effort.

Over its 5000 year history, Kung Fu as an art has met adversity.
For instance, 250 years ago it exited the battlefield due to the introduction of “hot” weapons, and in doing so, it retreated from its core purpose. Its shift into civilian life meant that historically brilliant strategies scaled for war morphed into self-defense techniques for individuals; the renowned stamina of soldiers, which required daily regimens for strength training, transformed into individual concerns of health and longevity. Its examination became the work of scholars instead of generals.

Adam HsuEven so, Kung Fu thrived, experiencing intermittent periods of sophisticated growth and attention. Teachers taught—great, and otherwise; students trained—both frivolously and seriously; styles developed; Kung Fu’s myths and legends expanded. Expertise travelled outside of China—mostly through the hands of laborers and cooks who scattered to every country—but also to those foreigners who visited and took up with teachers practicing in their own dusty courtyards. People without previous experience picked up weapons—once battlefield tested, now used for training and entertainment—to carry Kung Fu forward. Information was both shared and withheld. Knowledge was gained, and also lost.
Adam HsuToday, Kung Fu suffers another existential challenge—this one potentially fatal. The combination of new wealth and advanced technology threatens to supplant the traditional power that comes from touching hands. Simply said, as daily existence grows easier, the ability to focus and sustain authentic practice becomes harder.
In this book, world-renowned martial arts teacher and writer Adam Hsu, proclaims his expert reckonings on the state of Kung Fu. For over six decades, he has acted as one of Kung Fu’s greatest proponents and contributors, as well as one of its greatest critics. In “Life Is Too Short For Bad Kung Fu”—his first English Adam Hsutext in more than 10 years—Hsu Sifu employs aphorisms, boldly and honestly evaluating Wushu’s perilous path toward its questionable future. He focuses on current-day training, teaching and practice, offering harsh criticism as well as genuine solutions. He never swerves from the foundational, millennial idea of basics as Kung Fu’s true power. He is not shy about reiterating their importance, nor about the ways they are disappearing from the traditional curriculum. Like a doctor watching a patient slip away, he is neither calm nor sentimental in his many attempts to keep Kung Fu alive.
There are those whose excitement will lead them to sit down and read this book cover to cover. To our mind, it is better appreciated in small and measured draughts—there is so much to consider—both inspirations and warnings—and the aphorism format is perfect for separating each idea into thoughtful portions.
