Dog Kung Fu Proves That Women Can Be Fierce And Vicious Fighters!

Dog Kung Fu is one of those exotic martial arts that one hears rumors of but...nah

, that can't exist. That's a comic book art! But, truth, it not only exists, it is mean and snarly like, well, like a junk yard dog!

Perhaps use of the phrase junk yard dog is unwarranted here, for the art, though down and dirty, is also elegant. And, it was created by woman! And it really is unfair to refer to a woman as a junkyard dog, right?

History has Dog Boxing making its first appearance at the White Lotus Nunnery in the east of QuanZhou. A nun, SiYueDaShi, is rumored to have taught the art of dog boxing. Though not many people know of the art, it is a long lasting art, and this is because it is so effective.

There are two specific and striking features of this fighting discipline. One, it trains the student to relax, this so the rigorous training will not result in the student being injured. Two, it teaches the kung fu practitioner to bind without getting bound.

Binding has to do with trapping or locking an opponent up. So binding without getting bound refers to traps and locks, and this without getting oneself trapped or locked up. Definitely something the best martial artist will want to know!

An interesting aside, the term binding also refers to the ancient practice of binding women's feet in old China. A woman with feet so bound would not be able to float like a butterfly, but would rather have to fall to the floor and rely on whole body movements to trip and wrap and coil around an opponent. This interesting similarity of term may be at the heart of why a nun would be credited with teaching and spreading the this rare discipline.

A Dishu Quan lesson would normally start out with extensive stretching and and leg lifting and squatting. Second, the student would do a series of patterns (martial arts forms) and two person exercises. Third, the student would do a series of rolling, diving and coiling exercises.

There are more things than just what are listed in this article, quite a bit, for the art is very full featured. It is also a very intense martial arts work out, for the practice is, often as not, done on concrete floors! Thus, there is a common saying concerning Dog Kung Fu...'The Hardship of Dog Boxing.'
