KONGFU (Kung-fu) SHAOLIN MARTIAL ARTS, a Moorish Education

Kongfu (Kung-fu)

Kongfu means, One who works with fire over time. 'Kong' sound, strong like a Gong.

​

Kongfu is a man, known in Christian Education as Confucius, the Wise One. Kongfu taught in Pyramid Temples.

 

I’m Lonnie Bray EL. I teach Kongfu to strengthening the Mind. My martial skills, my Kongfu and my teaching ability, are known well in Cleveland, Ohio, US Of A and a few other places. Of the Moorish Educations and all skills that I’ve mastered, Kongfu is my favorite. Kongfu is my life.

 

My pupils tend to dominate others. Some come to me without any martial arts training at all. Others are teachers of other systems.

​

The reason my pupils dominate is because I know and teach real Kongfu from the Founder of Shaolin Temple Martial Arts, The Buddha Da Moor Bey.

​

​​​Shaolin Kongfu

Grandpa, my father’s father, was a secretive man and belonged to secret and sacred Orders all the way to his grave. One of those Orders is called The Order of Bey Family Black Serpent Temple, a Martial Order, a Kongfu Shaolin Order of the Oldest Kind. It deals with killing, primarily with the hands, but any weapon.

 

At Shaolin Temple, the exceptionally tall and dark man, Da Moor, became the First Buddha of what is now called Chan, or Cha’an Buddhism and what He called 18-Moor-Hand Kongfu and The 18-Moor Tricks, which hundreds of years later became known as The Five Animal System of Shaolin, and they vary, but primaryily are Dragon, Tiger, Panther, Snake, and Crane, all with references of Black, such as Black Dragon, Black Tiger, and, yes, Black Serpent, because Black represents death and warriors want to scare people.

 

The Black Serpent Temple in Kwongdong, China is the first Shaolin Temple where Da Moor resided.

 

Men who have learned from me, watched me, or tangled with me know that my Kongfu says this, “If you don’t know what I know, you can’t stop me.”

 

Some people are more afraid of snakes than ghosts. To those I say, Be afraid.

 

To others I say, You wouldn’t believe how much fun, safe, and enriching real Kongfu can be to your life.

 

We deal with making the body combat ready, so that means psychological training, strength-training, nerve-training, bone-training, healthy-cooking, healthy eating, we Mentor for Life, so you can tend to yourself and Mentor to others.

 

Kongfu is about Life, not death. As warriors we kill only to preserve life. As people respectful to GOD and Nature, we treat our bodies like Temples and do no harm with food, drugs, or excesses.

 

For adults, responsible youth, and youth with discipline problems.

 

No age is too old to begin. We may not learn all of Kongfu, but we can learn Kongfu

WHY I TEACH KONGFU TO ANYONE

No one is going to tell me who to teach and who not to teach. When I say I teach anyone, I mean anyone, regardless of any factors that separate Humans, religion, politics, Nationalities. Yeah, man, that’s the beauty of Moor Culture, a war culture. At some point in time, after the fall of The Empire and The Emperor, Moor warlords, Beys and ELs, accepted anyone who gave their Word, or Oath of Loyalty to the Master. That ends all politics and other crap. We as warriors, come together, not to prepare to kill people, but in order to better oursevlves and it just so happens that practicing to kill and not be killed is fun, like laser tag.

​

The Word of Loyalty that we give is simple. Pupils promise to practice and progress. Teachers promise to teach. It goes without saying that one must also be a good person and not out to maliciously harm others. I don’t discriminate based on factors such as religion, Nationality, or race, sex, or sexuality, but I do discriminate against jerks. I can look at someone and tell if they’re jerk, or not and I won’t teach them. The idea is to learn, graduate, and become the Master.

My pupils don’t call me Master, because I’m they’re teacher, so properly they call me Teacher, or Tsifu.
