What I've learned so far using Lei-Fei

Don't foregt Lei is from Shaolin too. In the Shaolin temple there are three kinds of men: students, disciples and masters. We learn from Shaolin that development of the mind can be achieved only when the body has been disciplined.

With Lei we have stances and methods that go with those stances:

From the crane we learn grace and self-control. The snake teaches us suppleness and rhythmic endurance. The praying mantis teaches us speed and patience. And from the tiger we learn tenacity and power. And from the dragon we learn to ride the wind

There are some Lei Fei stylists that pursue rush down, bull dog, highly aggressive and abare play. And yes you can get results. But remember Lei Fei is a monk and monks
are trained to know that where there is no contention, there is neither defeat nor victory. The supple willow does not contend against the storm, yet it survives.

Perceive the way of nature and no force of man can harm you. Do not meet a wave head on: avoid it. You do not have to stop force: it is easier to redirect it. Practice ways to avoid rather than check. Check rather than hurt. Hurt rather than maim. Maim rather than kill. For all life is precious nor can any be replaced
