Health & Life benefits of Tongsau
Tongsau contains many health and Life benefits. First, as a healing art, it has the ability to correct damage you may be doing to your body, beyond what a Chiropractor can do. Second, it teaches you to maintain your body easily, without major activity. Tongsau is suitble for all abilities as it is not taught as a combative art in most classes. Tongsau is normally taught as a meditative practice of healing first principle. Tongsau is the ancient word for "Karate, before the Okinawan (Uchina) transmission to Japan in the 1920s when Gichin Funakoshi transmitted the information to the Japanese in the form of Shotokan Karate.
The Art also continued within other arts such as Jujitsu, Taiji, and Systema. When Jujitsu transmitted from Shoalin in the 1500s in China it was taught as a complete art of meditation, and movement. A way to understand life. When Aikido rebirthed many of the old principles of White Crane Gong fu, it awakened an old truth that unites the Tao with conflict.
Later Tongsau principles scattered into the islands of the Pacific from the religion wars that swept across China. When the Shaolin Temple was burned, most of the teachers were hunted. Since this was not a Chinese massacre, one would have to ask, what did the Tartars find so bad, at Shaolin, that they needed to hunt them down and kill them? It was Tongsau. The ancient art that was principly given by Hebrews, later Jews, and then Christian ideas that later came into form the principles of Taoism and some fundamentals of Buddhism.

External Martial Art
External Martial arts such as Kempo and jujitsu are the main arts that make up traditional Shaolin. Later the creation of the Hawaiian cultural capitol, when many martial artists escaped Japenase facisim and religious oppression in Japan or China, many masters left the land escaping Tartar huntings, and settled in Taiwan, Okinawa, Malasia, and the Philipines. These are where the rest of the arts branched off into Escrima, Kali, and Silat among many other arts. Tongsau is the bridge to bring them back together, in one art.
