Lesson 3 – Who is this course for?
Who is 6 Dragons Kung Fu for?
This course starts from the ABC of 6 Dragons Kung Fu and arrives at its highest martial expression.
A note by Master Kongling – I have decided for no limitations, no secrets: it’s up to you to decide the level and the goals you want to reach.
This complete guide to our Kung Fu is designed to:
- Help those who already practice a martial art but feel incomplete or, in any case, want to go “beyond” (expanding their practice with different / new visions and concepts)
- Help those who are tired of being a slave to the classical “gym-system” where the growth is conditioned by limited times, no deepening and bad or incompetent instructors (read Recognize a good / bad master: 5 characteristics)
- Help who, child or elder, starts from scratch but wants to reach his own personal excellence (in terms of martial growth, read How to start practicing from scratch)
- Help those who want, at the same time, to grow technically and athletically but at their own pace (read The difference between 6DKF and other martial arts)
- Help those who have a real need to defend themselves (or others) in contextualized personal defense situations (based on effectiveness and on a scientific customized preparation)
- Help professionals (eg. instructors, masters, athletes, trainers, etc.) to differentiate from others by learning different / innovative skills, techniques, tactics, training methods (etc.)
- Help those who have (or had) bad experiences / attitudes to stand up and build a solid and serene personality (both physically and mentally, read also Discipline is the key to freedom)
- Help those who refuse violence (read The 6DKF’s diagram about the use of violence), those who are searching for a different approach to meditation, harmony, health, peace and happiness, those who need new energies to spend in their life
- Help especially those who simply want to practice martial arts but never had this opportunity (due to distance, economic impossibility, etc.)
- …

Where do Master Kongling’s skills come from?
Each day I concentrate all my efforts on deepening, studying, organizing and experimenting concepts / ideas / tools from:
- The greatest masters of our time (through private lessons, full courses and seminars)
- The greatest masters of the past (through ancient original books / documents, direct inquiry and connections with descendants)
- The best combat systems (through books, private lessons, full courses and seminars)
- New methods (born from constant, intense and practical experience, made of continuous tests, errors and corrections)
- …
Age, mental and physical requirements
Mentally Kung Fu is not for everyone but physically, it is within everyone’s reach: everyone who truly wants to practice.
6 Dragons Kung Fu is not for:
- Who is (ingenuously) searching for rapid tricks to win against everyone and beat 100 opponents with one finger
- Who is searching only for fake titles / belts / honors (read Martial arts: how to never stop improving)
- Who wants to do a time-limited path (our Kung Fu is a life path)
- …
About the age (read The right age to start practice):
- I know good masters who have started at the age of 35
- I know old masters extremely flexible even at the age of 70
- I know 6 years old phenomenal practitioners
- …
But I’ve also seen:
- “Practitioners” with 15 years of practice unable to do anything
- “Masters” with 30 years of practice unable to teach anything (read The characteristics of a true master)
- Kids too young to understand what they are doing rapidly leaving Kung Fu
- …
You choose how far you want to go and your age (if you do not have serious physical problems), this is the last of the problems. The real question is about discipline, concentration and preparation dear friend: if you have them, you will never have difficulties.
A note by Master Kongling – An older man / woman will probably take 1-2 years to obtain certain kinds of flexibility and a young kid only a few weeks but at the same time, the younger practitioner will have many problems with some of the more technical concepts of our style, more accessible for an adult mind. In my experience, those who fail are those who have simply passion and no self-discipline (read carefully Motivation: from passion to self-discipline).

Hi master Kongling, I follow you from 2 years and I thank you for sharing this guide, I have a question: I already practice kung fu and I want to teach it to my son, is it possible? He is 11 years old, what can he do and what not? Thanks
December 10, 2017 @ 11:55 am
Thanks for this question, a kid can do 90% of the 6 Dragons Kung Fu training and it can be a fantastic moment for you and your son:
– A daily moment to share with him
– A good perspective of life
– …
The only limits is to do (as for every kind of body activity) not overdue with weights training, it is not good to build exaggerated muscles at this age, there can be some problems related to the development of his body (height, bones, etc.).
For more information I invite you to read this article:
http://kidshealth.org/en/parents/strength-training.html
Said this, for a child, Kung Fu is absolutely the best choice, in fact, it helps him:
– Physically with his posture, mobility, balance, coordination, flexibility, etc.
– Mentally creating self-discipline, real respect (10 times better than other kinds of sports activities), self-awareness (eg. against bullies), a peaceful strong personality, long-term vision (I train I get results), etc.
You only have to do not concentrate the training on muscle gaining and too dangerous techniques (this is also safe in terms of small disputes at school, with friends, etc.).

Avoid the use of weights, violence, real strength management (for striking, etc.) and dangerous techniques that he could use against his friends. Said this it’s up to you to know what is right and what is not in relation to his attitudes. Almost all the rest can be done and it is very good for body development and self-esteem / self-discipline.

Master Kongling, hi my name is VaShon aka V. I’m excited to have connection with this free online martial arts opportunity. This is something I’ve wanted to do since I was about 10 years old in a karate class. Master IP, Bruce Lee, and a few others are individuals that are an inspiration to me. I want to learn the essence of the art.
With that being said, I have had a challenge getting started with the online courses you offer, as I navigate through the site, I continually get lost in all the click when I’m simply trying to get started with the 6 Dragons Kung Fu. Please advise me?

Hi, happy to help: sooner or later you simply have to read everything.
To have a linear view you have 2 options:
– Write a personal diary where you, personally, order the notions
– Follow our Core Course (that is very cheap, starting from Practitioner level https://www.patreon.com/6dragonskungfu )
