The Teaching of Emptiness. The Practice of Vietnamese Martial Arts

What can the experience of ancient Vietnamese people give to the residents of a modern metropolis? How was the transmission of the combat style from Vietnamese masters possible to modern Russia? Is it possible to combine the absolute calmness of... Zen meditation with the astonishing speed of movements and strikes delivered by Tam Kui fighters? The attentive reader will receive answers to all questions from the horse's mouth. The book discusses the techniques, origins, and philosophy of the Vietnamese martial art Tam Kui Khi-kong. It is aimed at a wide audience interested in Eastern martial arts, Eastern culture, and the philosophy of Zen Buddhism.

The title "The Teaching of Emptiness" precisely expresses the essence of the martial art based on Zen principles. From a colorful mixture of aphorisms, parables, memories of the master, and descriptions of key techniques, a vivid image of the martial arts school emerges as a unique tradition of nurturing body and spirit. The narrative is anchored by the image of the author - the master and teacher of Tam Kui: even where the figure of the narrator remains outside the text, his spirit and desire to convey the true philosophy of the Tam Kui School are invariably present.
