6 Dragons: what is the meaning of the school name?

The name 6 Dragons Kung Fu has a precise symbolic meaning: to reassume the 6 fundamental keys of our style.

Note – This article has been asked by one of our Core Course practitioners on Patreon (see how to attend our home study classes here Learn Kung Fu online: a beginner-to-expert course).

These are the 6 symbolic dragons of our martial art:

Agility – The snake devouring a scorpion and became a dragon
Mind – The dragon-demon half man and half woman
Strength – The dragon made of water that imprisoned the gorilla
Resistance – The rats who stole the skin of a rhino and pretended to be a dragon
Balance – The dragon-mantis who learned to move like a cat
Space – The dragon with a thousand senses that perceived the universe and becomes nothing

A note by Master Kongling – Why dragons? Why an imaginary reference? Beyond the artistic choice, on one side this legendary figure is deeply rooted in Chinese culture, the cradle of Kung Fu, on the other, as with music (read Workout music: how, when, why), its motivational consistency plays a useful role in building the correct mindset of our practitioners (read also Motivation: from passion to self-discipline).

The skills that each dragon represents

These are the referring skills:

Agility dominates speed, flexibility, flow, timing, the flow of weapons, reflexes, etc.
Mind dominates technique, self-control, deception, quick reasoning, tactics, strategy, etc.
Strength dominates breathing, Qi, power, body control, instinctive attack, etc.
Resistance dominates mental / body conditioning, instinctive defense, surviving capabilities, etc.
Balance dominates equilibrium, rooting, states of interaction (solid, liquid, etc.), etc.
Space dominates spatial intelligence, senses perception, constant attention, etc.

In these legendary figures resides and it is summed the significance of the 6 Dragons Kung Fu’s teachings (read 6 Dragons Kung Fu: what does it teach?): the perfect practitioner needs to possess the skills of each of them.
