I just started doing level 1 of the Bak Fu Sunn Yee Gong that is being taught by Sifu Garry Hearfield and Sifu Christer. Sifu told me that " the Sunn Yee Gong was the original practice of Bak Fu Pai's Internal Cultivation for healing ,health and longevity."
Sifu Hearfield is a pretty accomplished guy he is an ordained Taoist of the EverGreen Sect as well as being the gate keeper of the Omei Bak Fu Pai arts under Grandmaster Doo Wai.
Well anyways my progress in this neikung system after a few weeks has been pretty good. I have noticed that my inner power is stronger, my lower dantian spins, and I feel like I have alot more energy.
I also notice that the energy points in my hands buzz after practice as well as my whole body as well. Plus I generate a good heat when i practice too. As of late when I train I see in my inner mind a very deep blue and green hues almost like im being bathed in it. I told Sifu about this and all he said was "Good Progress!" I guess things like this are the norm when practicing the Sunn Yee Gong.
One of the many things that i like so much in training under Sifu Hearfield is that he knows so much about so many different taoists training techniques and theories. The pic below is of Sifu doing the yin yang mudra which cultivates yin and yang chi in the lower dantian.
To my surprize that this is the same art that the Pai Mei (Bak Mei) guy from Kill Bill 2 also practiced.
A little history of the Bak Fu Pai
from Wikipedia
During the reign of the Qing emperor Kangxi(1662–1722), the warriors of the Xilufan rebellion were so feared that the two ministers whom Kangxi ordered to quell the revolt fled China rather than face either the mercilessness of the Xilu warriors, which often involved beheading. In 1673, over a period of three months, the 128 monks of the southern Shaolin Temple defeated the Xilu army without suffering a single casualty(thats badass). However, by doing so they had made enemies of some Qing officers who were embarrassed by how easily the Shaolin monks had succeeded where they had failed.
Rumors soon began to spread about the threat posed by a power so great that it defeated the entire Xilu army with a force of only 128 monks. This campaign of innuendo was wasted on Kangxi, who remained grateful to the monks, but the rumors had their intended effect on his successor, the emperor YongZheng (1722–1735). He began his reign by plotting the temple's destruction and was said to have secretly recruited a band of renegade warrior monks from Tibet to carry out his plan.
In 1723, on the 6th day of the first new moon of the lunar calendar, a former Shaolin disciple named Ma Ning-Yee aided Qing forces to launch a sneak attack on the southern Shaolin Temple. They began the assault by bombarding the largely wooden monastery with a relentless deluge of burning arrows. Between the surprise attack, the fire, and the overwhelming number of Qing soldiers, 110 out of the 128 monks were killed that day. The Great Shaolin Purge took 70 days as Qing forces hunted down the 18 survivors. The surviving monks of Shaolin inflicted massive casualties on their Qing pursuers but, in the end, their numbers were too great.
Soon only five remained.
- The Chan Jee Sin
- The nun Ng Mui Si Tai
- The Daoist Bak Mei
- The Daoist Fung Do-Duk who later created the white tiger style
- The "unshaved" (lay) disciple Miu Hin
All who made an attempt on his life ended up dead at Bak Mei's hands(no surprize). This included Jee Sin and Miu Hin's son Fong Sai Yuk (Miu Hin's grandson) whom Bak Mei had known since Sai Yuk was a small boy.
