Blows at Points

After finger training succeeded, one can proceed to exercise blows at points.
It is a combined training which allows to fix in mind acupuncture points and
channels of vital energy and find them at once. It is done in such a way: it is
necessary to take a big log and made a full-scale human dummy. The dummy
should have everything: head, face, arms, legs. Mark location of points with
red paint. Dimensions of the marks should correspond to true dimensions (of
points). Main channels should be marked with a paint of different colors.
When everything is ready, the trainee faces the dummy at a distance of one
CHI (33.3 cm) approximately. Then, it is necessary to think of a point or ask
somebody to name it, immediately concentrate energy at the tip of one or two
fingers and touch this point. If you are sure of having done everything
properly, you can proceed to a next point. It is not easy to do at the beginning,
mistakes can be often made. That’s why it needs everyday training, hundreds
of time during a day. Gradually everything will become all right. This kind of
training is conducted at a light spot in the day-time, so the sight will help
fingers to get necessary spots. If you face an enemy, naturally you can employ
a certain method. But is not a perfect GONG FU yet. If you wish to scale a
higher level of mastery, you have to train yourself according to the above
methods at night in the dark, using your sight. It is a very difficult matter, you
can not get success in a short time. There is also a concealment in it. Face a
wooden dummy in the dark. It is difficult for normal eyes to make out small
points in darkness of the night. Even if your eyes are well-trained, all the
same you see so-so. Well, how in such a case to get right to the point? There
is a special technique for that. You raise your arm, estimate at which height to
locate your finger tip to hit at a selected point and thrust your arm forward.
The finger should be dipped into mortar before training. A white spot appears
where the finger touches the wooden dummy. Have a rest after ten such white
spots (ten blows) and check results. It is necessary to train yourself each day,
in that case you will get success in a year.
There is one more training method – training in a lamp light (at night). You
gradually decrease the brightness of the lamp until it fully extinguishes. It is a
gradual method, convenient in practice, but the time needed for training
extends. If you acquire this GONG FU to perfection, each blow will go home.
In that case it will be no problem for you to encounter one or two enemies.
Even if you are encircled by a group of enemies, you will be able of making
them to lose fighting ability in a jiffy. That is nothing else but the unsurpassed
skill. However, one should pay attention to applied forces that must be
different depending on points which you act on. For instance, if you act on
main, vital points, you must apply somewhat smaller force, because if you
apply greater force, the enemy can be killed. If you do it even in self-defense,
it is all the same immoral, it spoils your good deeds which will be taken into
account in the world beyond. It is another matter if you act on points which
are difficult to access, for example, on points deep in joints or under a thick
layer of muscles. Even a coercion with a great force may not help to achieve
the aim and a coercion with a small force will give no effect at all. That’s why
those points on a training dummy should be marked with another color to get
everything in sight at once. Before acting, it is necessary to decide on the
degree of force applied.
