It is a perfect training system aiming at setting into motion body s extremities and the whole body and thanks to it to improve blood circulation and the circulation of the internal energy Qi. Bones, muscles and sinews are subjects of outer strengthened, the internal organs and the spirit Shen are subjects of internal strengthened. Therefore, the Spirit and Health are improved. A physically weak man becomes a strong one. Besides, those who practice this method of Qi Gong can prevent from falling ill with many diseases and live a long life. That s why this method is unsurpassed one among all the methods of Qi Gong. The founder of the Tiet Sin Qi Gong school is Tiet Qiao San. In his time he was called one of Guangdong Ten Tigers . He is a well-known and esteemed master among Kung Fu followers. Tiet Qiao San, a favorite disciple of Shaolin monk Jue Yin, was famous for his mastery, he had no rivals equal to him. & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & . 1 According to the modern In our translation we substituted classification the method TIET SIN them for Qi Gong , a more belongs to a branch of hard , or narrow term that can be fighting Qi Gong. However, the understood by a modern reader. division of the Fighting Arts into Qi 2 Gong and Kung Fu (or WUSHU) is Tiet Qiao San is translated as rather conventional in character, it Iron Bridge III , it is a nickname appeared only in the XX century as of the great master whose real the result of the Western approach to name was lost in history. He lived the study of specific oriental at the end of XVIIIth - the phenomenon. Traditionally, Qi Gong, beginning of XIXth century and or work with the internal energy, was had superhuman strength, hence studied in China in the mainstream of his nickname. He could general fighting practice, it did not supposedly to raise up six big men form a separate branch. Therefore, with one hand and carry them the author of this article uses Chinese more than a hundred steps terms Quan Shou (literally fist- without changing his countenance hand ) and Quan Fa (literally fist (Zhu Yu Zhai Short Biography of technique ) in relation to TIET SIN Master Tiet Qiao San ). in their original wide meaning. www.kungfulibrary.com viii Tiet Qiao San was on friendly terms with Chen Yi and Xiu Yi Ji, monks from the Haichuang Temple3. Tiet Qiao San taught his disciples Cai Zan, Qu Zhu, Wu Xiguan, Ma Zhi Tien, Ling Fu Chen, Shi Yu Liang and some others. Some time later Ling Fu Chen taught Wong Fei Hung his skills and the latter Wong Fei Hung taught Lam Sai Wing. Lam had about 10 000 disciples4, but only a few inherited this secret method of Qi Gong Hu Li Feng, Wong Fei Hung Pang Ji Yi, Wei Shao Bo, Su Jian Shen, (1847-1924) Wong Ji Wen, Zhang Zhu Xiang and my tutor Zhu Yu Zhai, all in all seven men. By now5 my tutor Zhu Yu Zhai passed his skill in the Iron Thread to his son Zhu Jia Yui and his disciples Hu ZhenYan (died), Lo Ji Yi, Tan Xing, Cheng Yun Sin (missed during the war), Zhung Wei Ming, me and some others. Lam Sai Wing (1860-1943) & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & 3 The Haichuang Monastery is Fundamental Study") in situated not far from Guangzhou, Guangzhou (Canton) where he the administrative center of taught the Fighting Art. In the 20- Guangdong province. As a wide- th of the XX century Master Lam spread legend says, after the together with his closest disciples famous monastery of Southern (Zhu Yu Zhai, Zhang Shi Biao, Li Shaolin was burnt to ashes Shi Hui, and others) moved to (supposedly in 30-th of the XVIII Hong Kong where he taught century) monks who escaped fighting styles of Kung Fu - Hung spread in China like stars in the Gar Kuen and Fo Kuen. In his life sky . Few of them found refuge at he had more than 10 000 disciples, the Haichuang Monastery where but he taught Tiet Sin Qi Gong, they started to teach monks, and the most secret part of training, later on laymen, the Fighting only to a narrow circle of the Arts. This monastery is the cradle closest disciples. In his declining of the most famous Kung Fu years, being anxious about the styles of the Southern China preservation of this invaluable Hung Gar Kuen, Fo Kuen, Li Gar treasure for posterity, he wrote and some others. the book that is offered to your attention. 4 At the beginning of the XX century Lam Sai Wing founded 5 The article was written in 1957. WU BEN TANG ("The Hall of www.kungfulibrary.com ix The Iron Thread is based on twelve secret methods for arms-bridges 6, each of them corresponds to a certain principle. Those are GAN hardness, steadfastness; ROU suppleness, softness; BI constraint; ZHI straightening; FEN separation; DING steadiness; CUN quickness, brevity; TIE lifting; LIU restraining; YIUN movement, motion; ZHI suppression; DIN change. Besides, it is necessary to keep in mind several factors. Using Qi, or vital strength of spirit, one should be able to increase his physical strength, pay special attention to strengthening his waist and kidneys7. Exhalation is done with shouts, it is the external manifestation of such emotions as joy, anger, sorrow and gaiety. Those are the essentials that make this method of Qi Gong different from other kinds of Fisticuff Arts. I think that the most difficult thing in acquiring TIET SIN is to control your breath and to regulate Qi, to utter sounds and to use the internal strength. At the same time the above mentioned points are key factors for successful training. A wrong practice can be useless or even harmful. Each kind of Qi Gong has its own method of training and its own secrets. This book just gives the most complete and visual guidance for correct training in TIET SIN. It is indispensable for all who like Qi Gong and Kung Fu. From my own experience I know that the most impressing thing in TIET SIN Qi Gong is that the physical strength of those who train themselves can be increased by nine times. It is hard to believe for those who did not practice this method. Of course, the benefit of TIET SIN lies not only in bigger physical strength. The most important thing is robust health and longer life.
