Süa Lag Hang - The Style of the Crouching Tiger
Master Lao Vongvilay, a former Theravada Monk, brought the Süa Lag Hang Style from Thailand to Germany. This ancient Buddhist martial art style, rooted in mindfulness and inner strength, invites practitioners on a journey to personal development. Cultivating inner peace through mindful movement, our classes provide a holistic approach to martial arts.
The essence of this discipline lies in embracing the distinctive characteristics and virtues of various animals – strength, fitness, agility, and presence – which serve as blueprints for individual maneuvers. While the tiger stands prominently, other animals have also lent their names to the forms.
By immersing themselves in the study of nature and delving into the wisdom surrounding the body, mind, and the world, the past masters gained profound insights into the core of human existence, society, and the natural order. Consequently, alongside the physical training, philosophical elements are integrated into the curriculum. This not only shapes the students’ perspectives on themselves but also fosters contemplation about others.
Engaging in martial arts not only enhances fitness but also molds character by instilling positive habits. Patience, discipline, awareness, attentiveness, coping with strengths and weaknesses, composure, and more gradually evolve into practical skills.
The simultaneous development of body and mind equips individuals to navigate daily life with focus and strength.
Enhanced self-awareness facilitates contentment and empowers individuals to identify and pursue personal goals.
Training not only alleviates stress but also boosts vitality and joy. Greater awareness empowers individuals to take charge of their lives, making it challenging for others to manipulate them. In the modern context, studying a martial art increasingly aligns with psychological self-defense. Thru awareness illusions dissolve, and the simplicity of reality is embraced.
Confidence and a non-aggressive demeanor proactively prevent conflicts, and physical confrontations are preemptively averted.
The introduction of martial arts from India to Buddhist monasteries in China around 1500 years ago aimed to enhance the physical fitness of monks predominantly engaged in sitting meditation, providing an ideal solution for contemporary challenges posed by extended periods of sitting in schools and workplaces.
Persistent and consistent training leads to the maturation of both body and mind, allowing one’s true self to flourish.
