No caminho, na região do Campo do Coelho, pôde-se ver que praticamente todos os morros tiveram deslizamento de terra, e muitas casas foram completamente soterradas. É preocupante pois a quantidade de encostas em situação precária é imensa, e uma nova chuva intensa certamente causaria mais deslizamentos e mortes. Em várias casas pode-se ver a marca da água nas paredes externas, mostrando que em alguns lugares a enchente chegou a quase 2 metros de profundidade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;" title="Em seguida, rumamos para Nova Friburgo, outra cidade bastante afetada pelas chuvas."&gt;Then we headed to Nova Friburgo, another city badly affected by the rain. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;" title="No caminho, na região do Campo do Coelho, pôde-se ver que praticamente todos os morros tiveram deslizamento de terra, e muitas casas foram completamente soterradas."&gt;On  the way, in the Campo do Coelho region, we could see that almost  all the hills had landslides, and many houses were completely  submerged. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;" title="É preocupante pois a quantidade de encostas em situação precária é imensa, e uma nova chuva intensa certamente causaria mais deslizamentos e mortes."&gt;It´s fearsome because the number of slopes in a precarious situation is  immense, and another heavy rain and landslides would certainly cause more  deaths. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;" title="Em várias casas pode-se ver a marca da água nas paredes externas, mostrando que em alguns lugares a enchente chegou a quase 2 metros de profundidade."&gt;In some houses you can see the water mark on the outer walls, showing that in some places the flood was nearly 6,5 feet deep.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No centro de Nova Friburgo mais uma visão assustadora que demonstra a força incrível dos deslizamentos.

Muitos fizeram questão de participar das atividades abertas e  experimentar um pouco da prática das artes marciais chinesas. Ambas as  aulas (de Tai Chi Chuan, comandada pelo aluno sênior Claudio, e a de  Kung Fu, comandada pelo Sifu) estavam repletas, e quase não havia  espaços para as pessoas!

Ocupamos 6 mesas, com 10 lugares cada, ou seja, Wah Lum em  peso no Hua Lian. Antes do almoço, fizemos a dança do leão no pátio da  Associação, conforme combinado com o dono do restaurante, sr.  France Lin. Interessante foi reparar que, enquanto tirávamos o leão e o  equipamento todo do carro, os chineses começaram a aparecer, olhando com  um certo ar de desconfiança e curiosidade... afinal de contas, éramos  todos ocidentais, e fazendo dança do leão para os chineses! Mas conforme  a dança foi evoluindo, já se via nos rostos dos chineses muitos  sorrisos de alegria e satisfação, e ao final, estavam todos aplaudindo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br style="color: #990000;" /&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en" style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span class="hps" title="Click for alternate translations"&gt;After the&lt;/span&gt;

Além de celebrar no mês de Maio, em Boston, 40 anos da introdução do sistema Wah Lum nos EUA, no dia 06 de Novembro foi comemorado o aniversário de 30 anos da inauguração do Templo Wah Lum em Orlando, Flórida.&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en" style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2010 was very special for the Wah Lum&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en" style="color: #990000;"&gt; family&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en" style="color: #990000;"&gt;. &lt;span title=""&gt;In  addition to celebrating 40 years of introduction of the Wah Lum system in the U.S., on November 6th was celebrated  the 30th anniversary of the opening of the Wah Lum Temple in  Orlando, Florida.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Yatfm10wee0/TQl9rkxhaJI/AAAAAAAAAMw/AT7M2Oet8_4/s320/WL03.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Yatfm10wee0/TQl9srFfZNI/AAAAAAAAAM0/13B4NmlzTso/s320/WL01.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Yatfm10wee0/TQl9t9uxquI/AAAAAAAAAM4/jYHGJPqxk-w/s320/WL02.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Foi um final de semana intenso, repleto de atividades que serviram para, acima de tudo, integrar e unir ainda mais toda a família Wah Lum, e para celebrar a realização do sonho de um visionário, Grão-mestre Chan Pui.&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en" style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It  was an intense weekend filled with activities that &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;further united &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en" style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;the whole Wah Lum family,  and celebrated the realization of the dream of a visionary,  Grandmaster Chan Pui.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en" style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mas como Kung Fu significa "trabalho duro", para que haja uma grande festa é preciso muito trabalho de todos! E os trabalhos começaram já na tarde de 6a feira, com a foto oficial com Grão-mestre Chan, todos os sifus, instrutores e alunos diante da entrada do Templo. Havia certamente mais de 100 pessoas presentes na foto, fora os amigos e familiares que estavam presentes para aproveitar e fotografar o momento. O estacionamento do Templo estava lotado, e havia um clima alegre de reencontro e celebração.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;But Kung Fu means "hard work", and to have a great party takes hard work from everyone! The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;work began on the afternoon of Thursday 6th, with the official  photo with Grandmaster Chan, all Sifus, instructors and students  in front of the entrance of the temple. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;There  was certainly over 100 people in the photo, not counting friends and  family who were present to enjoy and photograph the moment. The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;parking lot at the Temple was crowded, and there was a joyful atmosphere of reunion and celebration.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Yatfm10wee0/TQl-C1oUTXI/AAAAAAAAAM8/vDwZOhSByhA/s320/Temple+30th+Friday.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Sifu Mimi organizando todos para a foto oficial (foto cortesia de Sifu Lei Ann)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;Sifu Mimi organizing all for the official photo (photo courtesy of&amp;nbsp; Sifu Lei Ann)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Após a foto, foram realizados ensaios para o show&amp;nbsp; de exibição das escolas, que aconteceria dia seguinte no auditório de um colégio local. Comandados pela Sifu Mimi, todos ensaiaram duro para que tudo corresse perfeitamente bem. Depois disso, reunião com os sifus que trabalhariam de árbitros no campeonato interno Wah Lum, últimas orientações, e de volta para o dormitório descansar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;After  the photo, reharsals were conducted for the exhibition show, that would  happen next day in the auditorium of a local college. &lt;span title=""&gt;Led by Sifu Mimi, everybody worked hard for everything to go perfectly. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;After  that, meeting with Sifus that would work as judges at the Wah Lum tournament, last instructions and back to the dorm to rest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Yatfm10wee0/TQl-p-UiboI/AAAAAAAAANA/tGAivCDP1FA/s320/73221_497978925329_513915329_7763722_4680193_n.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Ensaio dos leões!

Domingo fomos todos para um cinema grill (uma mistura de lanchonete com cinema), onde seria exibido o documentário sobre a vida do Grão-mestre Chan. Primeiro, hora das homenagens e presentes. Em seguida, mais de uma hora e meia de imagens totalmente impressionantes (foi indescritível assistir Grão-mestre Chan no auge de seu vigor físico demonstrando movimentos e formas...), depoimentos tocantes e informações até então desconhecidas (ao menos para mim). Tenho certeza de que todos saíram daquele cinema felizes e repletos de orgulho de fazerem parte desta família, e com uma extrema gratidão por todo o esforço feito pelo Grão-mestre Chan Pui para tornar seu sonho realidade.&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;span class="hps" title="Click for alternate translations"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;But&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;

(foto de Joshua C. Cruey, Orlando Sentinel)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A história dos Chans nos EUA começa quando Pui Chan saltou de um navio ancorado em Newark, New Jersey, e nadou até a costa para começar uma vida nova&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Chans' story in the U.S. begins as Pui Chan jumps off a ship docked in Newark, N.J., and swims to shore to start a new life.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ele tinha 30 anos na época, com apenas 24 dólares no bolso, mas levava consigo um legado de conhecimentos culturais e de defesa-pessoal vindo de seu mestre de kung fu na China.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;He was 30 then, with only $24 in his pocket, but had brought with him a  legacy of cultural and self-defense knowledge from his kung-fu master in  China.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Após se esforçar trabalhando em cozinhas de restaurantes nas Chinatows de New York e Boston, ele se voltou ao seu amor pelas artes marciais. Na área leste do Orange County, ele fundou o tradicional Templo Wah Lum de Kung Fu, cujos métodos são atualmente seguidos por 19 outras escolas nos EUA, Brasil e Suíça.&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After struggling through restaurant kitchen jobs in the Chinatowns of  New York City and Boston, he returned to his love of martial arts. In  east Orange County,  he founded the traditional Wah Lum Kung Fu Temple, whose methods today  are followed by 19 other schools in the U.S., Brazil and Switzerland.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Aos 72 anos, ele é reverenciados pelos alunos que o chamam de Grão-mestre Chan, e conhecido pela comunidade asiática de Orlando como um promotor de sua herança. De acordo com estimativas do censo, há mais de 74.000 asiáticos na grande Orlando, dos quais cerca de 9.500 são de origem chinesa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 72, he is revered by students who call him Grand Master Chan and known in Orlando's Asian community as a promoter of&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;their  heritage. According to census estimates, there are more than 74,000  Asians in Metro Orlando, of which nearly 9,500 report being of Chinese  origin.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Chan e sua família mantiveram vivas as tradições de Ano Novo Chinês na área, realizando demonstrações de kung fu, uma colorida dança do dragão e fogos de artifício todo ano na frente de estabelecimentos comerciais de asiáticos, principalmente ao longo da área de comércio vietnamita na East Colonial Drive.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;Chan and his family have kept alive Chinese New Year traditions through  area celebrations, holding kung-fu demonstrations, a colorful dragon  dance and fireworks display every year in front of Asian-owned  businesses, mostly along east Colonial Drive's largely Vietnamese  business area.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sua esposa, Suzy Chan, é uma sobrevivente do câncer que escreveu um livro sobre cura através de exercícios e que ensina tai chi. Sua filha, Mimi Chan, 32, é uma sifu de kung fu – ou professora – na escola e foi a modelo para a protagonista feminina no desenho animado da Disney, Mulan. Sua outra filha, Tina, ajuda nas aulas para crianças no templo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;His wife, Suzy Chan, is a cancer survivor who wrote a book about healing  through exercise and who teaches tai chi. Their daughter, Mimi Chan,  32, is a kung fu &lt;/i&gt; &lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;sifu — or teacher — at the school and was the model for the female protagonist in the animated Disney movie &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;Mulan. Their other daughter, Tina, helps with children's classes at the temple.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;“Sem os Chans, nós realmente nunca teríamos visto as comemorações de Ano Novo Chinês aqui todos esses anos,” disse Shally Wong, dona do Global Media, uma companhia da Winter Park que publica a revista Asian Trend. Eles foram capazes de manter uma tradição autêntica para as próximas gerações.”|&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;"Without the Chans, we really would not have seen the Chinese New Year  celebration going here all these years," said Shally Wong, owner of  Global Media, a Winter Park company that publishes &lt;/i&gt; &lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;Asian Trend&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt; magazine. "They have been able to keep an authentic tradition for the next generation."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Este ano, os Chans irão celebrar 30 anos de fundação de sua escola na Flórida Central, e estão planejando para o dia 6 de novembro um show de kung fu no auditório da Colonial High School, para angariar fundos para o St. Jude Children´s Research Hospital.&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt; This year, the Chans will celebrate 30 years of the school's founding in  Central Florida and are planning a Nov. 6 kung-fu show at Colonial High  School's auditorium, a fundraiser for St. Jude Children's Research  Hospital.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;“Eu não paro,” diz Pui Chan, agora um cidadão americano que ainda está se esforçando para melhorar a fluência de seu inglês. “Movimento, movimento... e você ficará melhor e melhor.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;"I don't stop," says Pui Chan, now a U.S. citizen who's still working on  his English-language fluency. "Motion, motion…and you get better and  better."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Pui e Suzy Chan se conheceram em Boston. Ela era uma imigrante jamaicana descendente de chineses e se tornou uma cantora de canções americanas do Top 40 em restaurantes. Ele frequentava um desses restaurantes em Boston e sempre pedia para ela cantar a música cubana “Guantanamera” – até que um dia ela descobriu que ele era seu fã secreto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;Pui and Suzy Chan met in Boston. She was a Jamaican immigrant of Chinese  ancestry and became a singer of Top 40 American songs at restaurants.  He frequented one of those restaurants in Boston and always asked for  her performance of the Cuban song "Guantanamera" — until one day she  found out that he was her secret fan.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Eles se mudaram para Orlando no final dos anos 70, em busca de mais espaço e de um local mais barato para comprar o terreno para seu sonho de uma escola de kung fu tradicional. Quando eles abriram seu “templo” em 1980, ele era rodeado por árvores, então escolheram o nome “Wah Lum” – que significa “floresta densa” e que também era o nome de sua escola de kung fu na China.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;They moved to Orlando in the late 1970s, seeking more room and an  affordable place to buy property for his dream of a traditional kung-fu  school. When they opened their east Orange "temple" in 1980, it was  surrounded by woods, so they chose the name "Wah Lum" — which means  "dense forest" and was the name of his&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;kung fu school in China.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Seus primeiros alunos eram amigos e parentes, mas a escola foi crescendo lentamente através da propaganda boca-a-boca.&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their first students were friends and relatives, but the school grew slowly through word-of- &lt;/i&gt; &lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;mouth.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;“Foi um grande risco” ao abrir a escola, disse Suzy Chan, 62. “Mas nós sempre acreditamos que com a atitude correta e com honestidade, você terá sucesso na vida... Coisas que são feitas sem comprometimento nunca são feitas corretamente, e não têm sucesso.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;"We took a big chance" in opening the school, said Suzy Chan, 62. "But  we have always believed that with the right attitude and honesty, you  will be successful in life....Things that are done in a halfhearted way  are never done right and don't succeed."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Agora, dúzias de moradores da área dirigem-se dia após dia através dos muros amarelos do Templo Wah Lum de Kung Fu – onde membros pagam uma média de 85 dólares por mês – para experimentar um pouco das artes marciais e da cultura chinesas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;Now, dozens of area residents drive day in and day out past the  canary-yellow walls of the Wah Lum Kung Fu Temple — where members pay an  average $85 a month — to experience a little bit of China's martial  arts and culture.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Este lugar é uma instituição,” disse Oscar Agramonte, 31, representante de marketing do Florida Hospital, que chegou como aluno e agora é um instrutor assistente e casado com Mimi Chan. “Muitas pessoas passam e apenas vêem o prédio, mas é muito mais que isso. É um lugar para se dedicar ao trabalho duro do kung fu, que afeta todas as áreas de sua vida.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;"This place is an institution," said Oscar Agramonte, 31, a marketing representative for Florida Hospital,  who arrived as a student and now is an assistant instructor and married  to Mimi Chan. "A lot of people drive by and just see the building, but  it is so much more. It's a place to embark on the hard work of kung fu,  which affects every area of your life."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Cerca de duas dúzias de alunos vestidos em uniformes pretos pareciam comprometidos com esta idéia ao completar os exercícios de aquecimento numa recente tarde de quinta-feira.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;About two dozen students dressed in black uniforms seemed committed to  that idea as they completed warm-ups on a recent Thursday afternoon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gritando palavras em cantonês, eles alongavam suas pernas, praticavam posições e faziam formas com as mãos, rapidamente começando a suar no salão aberto – onde estátuas de magros Budas observam de um altar no alto. Eles treinavam sem o conforto de ar-condicionado porque praticantes de kung fu acreditam que um ambiente com clima não muito frio nem quente é melhor para o corpo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;Shouting words in Cantonese, they stretched their legs, practiced poses  and made shapes with their hands, quickly working up a sweat in the open  room — where statuettes of slim Buddhas stared from an altar above.  They worked without the comfort of air conditioning because kung-fu  practitioners believe that a warm environment is better for the body.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moradores do Avalon Park e irmãos, Lindsey Zimmerman e Chris Brown disseram que ambos se apaixonaram pela escola. Eles tomam suas lições de respeito aos professores e para a prática do kung fu, além do comprometimento em aprender gentileza, amizade e controle. Eles gostam da disciplina e dos exercícios intensos que Zimmerman, 26, afirma fazerem-na sentir “músculos que você nem sabia que tinha.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;Avalon Park residents and siblings Lindsey Zimmerman and Chris Brown,  said they've fallen in love with the school. They like its lessons of  respect to the teachers and to the practice of kung-fu, as well as the  commitment to learn kindness, fellowship and control. They like the  discipline and intense workouts that Zimmerman, 26, said make her feel  "muscles you never knew you had."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Isto não é como os outros lugares que você vê em shoppings,” disse Brown, 30. “Eu respeito o que eles fizeram – saindo pelo mundo e estabelecendo seu legado” para toda a comunidade.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;"This is not like the shopping mall places you see," said Brown, 30.

Atualmente existe um grande número de escolas que utilizam o sistema de graduação por faixas como uma forma de estimular os alunos, baseadas na idéia de que a mudança de faixa é uma forma concreta e palpável do aluno perceber sua evolução, uma espécie de recompensa pelo seu esforço e dedicação.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;span class="hps" title="Click for alternate translations"&gt;Unlike&lt;/span&gt;

Influenciadas pelas idéias confucionistas de importância da família, do culto aos antepassados e do respeito aos mais velhos, a graduação e todas as relações entre os praticantes de uma escola foram organizadas considerando-se que todos eram membros de uma só família.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;span class="hps" title="Click for alternate translations"&gt;However,&lt;/span&gt;

Isto é uma grande verdade principalmente em banquetes e jantares, já que compartilhar uma refeição é talvez o mais importante passatempo para os chineses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Traditional Chinese culture is full of formalities and courtesies,   and even though modern China is nothing like the romantic China of centuries   past, many traditional standards of etiquette and social propriety are still   strictly observed.  This holds especially true for diners and banquettes as   sharing a meal is perhaps the most favored pastime of the Chinese.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O maior banquete chinês comemora o ano-novo lunar, ou Festival da Primavera (chun jie). Para estrangeiros convidados a participar das festividades de ano-novo, é importante ter consciência das formalidades sociais tradicionais para evitar “perder a face” – tanto a sua quanto a do anfitrião. Obviamente, a maioria dos chineses não irá exigir que seus convidados estrangeiros sigam tais regras rígidas de conduta cultural; entretanto, o anfitrião certamente irá apreciar o esforço realizado pelo convidado, já que isto mostraria um profundo apreço e respeito pelas suas tradições.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The largest Chinese banquet commemorates the Lunar New Year, or Spring   Festival (chun jie).  For foreigners invited to share in the new year   festivities, it is important to be aware of traditional social formalities so as   to avoid "losing face" - both yours and the host's.  Granted,   most Chinese will not hold their foreign guests accountable for such strict   standards of cultural conduct; nevertheless, the host can certainly   appreciate the effort put forth as it shows a deep appreciation and respect for   their traditions.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;No entanto, uma circunstância especial se mantém para os artistas marciais chineses. Muitos praticantes tradicionais, especialmente de estilos do sul, seguem a etiqueta muito seriamente. Acredita-se que o comportamento social de um estudante reflete diretamente o nível e a qualidade do ensino transmitido pelo mestre, e neste contexto, é absolutamente imperativo para um aluno sério dedicar seu tempo para se familiarizar com as normas de etiqueta tradicional, para evitar de inadvertidamente desrespeitar o seu mestre ou linhagem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;A special circumstance holds, however, for Chinese martial artists.  Many   traditional practitioners, especially in southern systems, observe etiquette   very closely.  It is believed that the social behavior of a student directly   reflects the level and quality of instruction imparted by the master, and in   this light, it is absolutely imperative for a serious student to take the time   to familiarize themselves with standards of traditional etiquette so as to avoid   inadvertently disrespecting one's master and lineage.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Antes da refeição&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Before the meal&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A primeira e principal norma de cortesia a se observar e se dirigir adequadamente ao mestre. Um aluno deve sempre cumprimentar o mestre adequadamente. Os títulos podem variar dependendo da escola ou sistema, portanto se alguém for novo na escola e não tiver certeza de como se dirigir ao mestre, um simples “Olá” com um sorriso gentil e um contato visual amigável deve ser o suficiente.&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;The first and foremost standard of courtesy to observe is properly addressing   the master.  A student should always greet the master appropriately.  Titles may   vary depending on the school and system, so if one is new to a school and unsure   of how to address the master, a simple "Hello" with a gentle smile and   friendly eye-contact should suffice.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para complementar o cumprimento, uma variedade de gestos pode ser feita. Muitos artistas marciais chineses formalmente se cumprimentam com o “baoquan,” ou “abraçando o punho.” Este gesto é feito cobrindo o punho direito fechado com a palma esquerda. Para tornar este gesto ainda mais polido, pode-se adicionar uma leve inclinação de ombros à frente. Fazer o “kowtow” ou ajoelhar é outro gesto tradicional de cumprimentar o mestre, mas hoje em dia é muito incomum. Se feito de forma muito dramática, especialmente diante de muitas pessoas, pode ser considerado bastante rude. Se alguém sentir sinceramente que deve fazer isso, tal gesto deve ser feito privativamente em um ambiente mais reservado.&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;To complement a greeting, a number of gestures can be made.  Many Chinese   martial artists formally greet each other with a "baoquan," or   "hugged fist."  This gesture is made by cupping a right-handed fist   with the left palm.  To make this gesture more polite, you may add a slight bow   at the shoulders.  "Kowtowing," or kneeling, is another traditional   gesture for greeting the master, but these days it is very uncommon.  If done   over dramatically, especially in front of a large crowd, it can be considered   quite rude.  If one feels it to be sincerely appropriate, such a gesture should   be made privately in an intimate setting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Na estrada&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;On the road&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Durante uma viagem, há formalidades específicas a serem igualmente observadas. Se estiver a pé, sempre caminhe ao lado ou atrás de seu mestre. Caminhar na frente é apropriado somente quando o mestre não sabe o caminho. Uma vez que o destino seja alcançado, abra a porta para seu mestre ou, se ela estiver trancada, bata à porta em nome de seu mestre e dê um passo atrás. Se estiver viajando em algum transporte público, sempre abra e segure a porta para o mestre. Sempre insista em carregar a bagagem dele, e esteja pronto para pagar pela viagem ou dar alguma gorjeta quando for apropriado.&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;While on the road, there are specific formalities to observe as well.  If on   foot, always walk beside or behind the master.  Leading is appropriate only when   the master does not know the way.  Once a destination is reached, open the door   for the master or, if the door is locked, knock on behalf of the master and then   step back.  If traveling by charter, public transport, or chauffer, always open   and hold the door for the master.  Always insist on carrying the master's   luggage, and be prepared to pay for the trip and tip the driver when   appropriate.&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Quando estiver dirigindo para o mestre, siga rigorosamente todas as regras de trânsito e sempre dirija numa velocidade apropriada. Evite mudanças bruscas de direção, se perder, ou qualquer outra coisa que possa causar desconforto ao mestre durante a viagem. Além disso, evite ouvir música que seja excessivamente alta ou com letras explícitas. Se o mestre estiver dirigindo, sente confortavelmente e tranquilamente, e tente não incomodar o mestre com perguntas triviais. Sempre esteja pronto para pagar qualquer taxa de pedágio ou de estacionamento que possa surgir. Após chegar no destino, agradeça ao mestre por ele ter dirigido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;When driving the master, be sure to meticulously observe all traffic   regulations and always drive the appropriate speed.  Avoid sudden or jerky   steering, getting lost, or anything else that may discomfort the master along   the ride.  Also, refrain from playing music that is excessively loud or   explicit.  If the master is driving, sit comfortably and quietly, and try not to   disturb the master with small or trivial questions.  Always be ready to cover   any toll or parking charges that may arise.  Upon arrival, be sure to thank the   master for driving.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Durante a refeição&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;During the meal&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Partilhar uma refeição com o mestre é uma oportunidade incrível que não deve ser negligenciada (especialmente uma refeição do Ano Novo Chinês, pois este feriado é reservado para a família próxima). É preciso lembrar que nem todas as lições são ensinadas em uma sala de aula, e muitas vezes simplesmente observando como o mestre se porta em atividades comuns, como uma refeição, pode dar informações valiosas sobre como princípios marciais transcendem simples socos e pontapés. Neste contexto, compartilhar uma refeição com o mestre pode ser uma oportunidade de ouro para desenvolver sua compreensão e prática.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sharing a meal with the master is an amazing opportunity that should not be   taken lightly (especially a Chinese New Year meal, as this holiday is   reserved for immediate family).  One must remember that not all lessons are   taught in a classroom setting, and often times simply observing how the master   conducts himself in common activities, such as a meal, can give valuable insight   as to how martial principles transcend simple punches and kicks.  In this light,   sharing a meal with the master can be a golden opportunity to further one's   understanding and practice.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A primeira coisa a ser observada num banquete é a disposição das cadeiras. Nunca se apresse para pegar uma cadeira ou se sente imediatamente. Quando jantar com o mestre, é sempre melhor ser convidado a uma cadeira. O mestre deve sempre ter a cadeira principal, por exemplo, a cadeira que fica de costas para a parede e posicionada de modo a observar a porta de entrada ou a cozinha. A partir da cadeira principal, os convidados ilustres do mestre, esposa ou discípulos sentam ao longo. Os outros convidados tipicamente se organizam em ordem de antiguidade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The first thing to observe at a banquet is the seating arrangements.  Never   rush to pick a seat or sit down right away.  When dining with the master, it is   always best to be invited to a chair.  The master should get the power seat,   i.e. the seat with its back to the wall and positioned to observe the front door   and/or the kitchen.   From the power seat, the master's esteemed guests,   spouse, or disciples sit alongside.  The other guests typically fan out from   there in order of seniority.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enquanto sentado, permaneça calmo e atento, e mantenha uma boa postura. Evite ficar inquieto, nervoso, ou qualquer outro comportamento ansioso. Tenha um sorriso relaxado, e faça sempre contato visual com as pessoas. Evite falar fora de hora, e não sussurre, fofoque, brinque ou ria com um vizinho. Ao falar sempre o faça em volume e tom adequados. Se perguntar algo ao mestre, esteja certo da pergunta ser significativa e concisa, de preferência sobre algum assunto que os outros convidados possam se beneficiar também. Em geral, porém, deve-se manter um silêncio educado de modo a criar espaço para o mestre compartilhar informações de seu interesse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;While seated, sit calmly and acutely present, and always exercise good   posture.  Avoid fidgety, nervous, or other outwardly anxious behavior.  Have a   relaxed smile, and make good eye contact with people.  Avoid speaking out of   turn, and be especially sure not to whisper, gossip, snicker, or giggle with a   neighbor.  When speaking, always have appropriate tone and volume.  If asking   the master a question, be sure the question is meaningful and concise, ideally   one that the other guests can gain from too.  In general, however, one should   politely observe silence so as to create a space for the master to share   information at their leisure.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O ato de comer somente começa quando o mestre faz o convite. Ao comer seja modesto, educado, e lento – aprecie e saboreie mordida a mordida. É considerado muito rude se apressar ao comer, pois isto demonstra que a sua consideração pelo alimento é maior do que por compartilhar seu tempo com o mestre. Por outro lado, é muito importante manter um ritmo ao comer, pois parar ao meio da refeição pode ser considerado falta de educação também.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Actual eating only begins when the master makes the invitation.  Eating   should be modest, polite, and slow - enjoyed and savored bite by bite.  It   is considered very rude to rush food, reach for it, hoard it, or hog it, as this   shows one's concern for the food is higher than that of sharing time with   the master.  Conversely, it is very important to pace oneself while eating, as   stopping halfway through a meal can be deemed impolite as well.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ao se servir, espere até que o mestre, os convidados ilustres e alunos antigos tenham se servido. Além disso, deve-se apenas se servir de alimentos que estejam num alcance confortável. Servir o mestre é uma tarefa tipicamente reservada para o garçom ou para a pessoa sentada diretamente ao lado dele. É apropriado servir ao mestre arroz, macarrão, ou sopa; caso contrário, é melhor deixar o mestre servir-se sozinho. Se a mesa é equipada com uma travessa circular giratória no centro, é melhor deixar que outros a girem, apenas tocando-a para ajudar os outros convidados a alcançar mais confortavelmente um alimento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;When serving one's self, wait until the master,   honored guests, and senior students have all had a helping.  Moreover, one   should only take from the food that is within comfortable reach.  Serving the   master is a task typically reserved for wait staff and the person seated   directly beside the master.  It is appropriate to serve the master rice,   noodles, or soup; otherwise, it is best to let the master help his or her   self.  If the table is equipped with a "Lazy Susan," it is best to let   others spin it, only touching it to help other guests reach a dish more   comfortably.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se estiver sentado próximo ao mestre, sempre esteja atento às suas necessidades, seja um lenço, um utensílio, ou algo mais. Deve-se prestar bastante atenção ao copo do mestre, nunca deixando-o servir a si mesmo de bebida. Ao servir chá, a ordem tipicamente deve ser primeiro para o mestre, depois para os convidados mais ilustres, para os convidados mais jovens, para os alunos mais antigos, e finalmente para você. Se o mestre o servir chá, segure a xícara com as duas mãos; para ser ainda mais educado, você pode se levantar enquanto o mestre serve o chá para você.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;If seated next to the master, always be aware of the masters needs, be it for   a napkin, a utensil, or something else.  One should also pay close attention to   the master's glass, never letting the master pour his own drink.  If serving   tea, service order typically goes to the master first, to the master's older   guests, to the master's younger guests, to senior students, and finally to   yourself.  If the master serves you tea, be sure to hold the cup with both   hands; to be even more polite, you can also stand up as the master pours for   you.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ao fazer um brinde, erga o copo enquanto o brinde é oferecido. Ao tocar os copos, certifique-se de que a boca de seu copo esteja abaixo da boca do copo da outra pessoa, como um simples gesto de respeito. Se houver muitas pessoas para brindar ou se elas estiverem além de seu alcance, é aceitável tocar com o fundo do copo na mesa e levantá-lo em direção ao convidado que está distante. Se fizerem um brinde pessoal a você, é educado retornar o brinde em algum momento antes da refeição terminar. Quando estiver oferecendo o brinde, seja simples: expressões curtas de gratidão ou desejos de sucesso, boa saúde e relações frutíferas são sempre bons tópicos de brinde. Para ser mais polido, pode-se ficar de pé ao brindar. Após os brindes em grupo serem feitos, é aceitável brindar os convidados individualmente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;If there is a toast, hold your glass up while the toast is being offered.    When touching glasses, be sure the mouth of your glass goes below the mouth of   the other person's glass as a simple gesture of respect.  If there are too   many people to touch glasses with, or if others are beyond a comfortable reach,   it is acceptable to tap the bottom of your glass on the table instead and raise   it to the guest that is out of reach.  If you have been personally toasted to,   it is polite to return the toast at some point before the meal ends.  If you are   giving the toast, keep it simple; short expressions of gratitude or well   wishes for good health and fruitful relationships are always good toast topics.    To be more polite, you may also stand while you are toasting.  After group   toasts have been made, it is also ok to toast individual guests.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ao beber álcool, beba em pequenos e respeitáveis goles a não ser que o mestre convide a “gan bei” (“secar o copo”). É sempre melhor evitar encher novamente seu copo – especialmente se a bebida for alcoólica. Além disso, pode-se beber chá ou água à vontade, mas álcool deve sempre ser bebido com outro convidado. Como é uma celebração, espera-se que os convidados fiquem intoxicados; entretanto, deve-se sempre manter a compostura, já que comportar-se como um bêbado é uma grande “perda de face.” Se você não bebe álcool, é importante informar ao mestre antes da refeição. Quando você achar que já bebeu o bastante, é aceitável recusar gentilmente outro copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;When drinking alcohol, take small, respectful sips unless specifically   invited by the master to "gan bei" (dry cup).  It is always   best to avoid refilling your own glass - especially if the beverage is   alcoholic.  Also, it is ok to sip on tea or water at one's leisure, but   alcohol should always be sipped with another guest.  As it is a celebration,   guests are expected to become intoxicated; however, one should always   maintain composure, as lewd, drunken behavior is a huge "loss of   face."  If you do not drink, it is important to inform the master prior to   the meal.  If you feel you have had enough, it is okay to gently decline further   drinks.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Ao final da refeição, sempre deixe um pequeno resto no seu prato ao terminar. Não deixar restos no prato significa que você não está satisfeito, e é responsabilidade do anfitrião oferecer mais comida. Se um grupo grande sair para jantar, os arranjos para pagar a conta devem ser feitos previamente para evitar confusões no final da refeição. Se for apenas uma refeição com você e o mestre ou os convidados dele, é melhor discretamente passar seu cartão de crédito ou débito para o garçom antes da refeição começar. O mestre nunca deve pagar pela refeição.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;At the end of a meal, always leave a small bite on your plate when you   finish.  If you clear your plate, this means you have not had your fill, and it   is then the host's responsibility to provide more food.  If a large group   has gone out to eat, arrangements to pay the bill should be made between   students beforehand so as not to make a hassle at the end of the meal.  If it is   simply a meal with yourself and the master, and/or your master's guests, it   is best to casually slip the server a credit or debit card before the meal   starts.  The master should never have to pay for a meal.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se em algum momento no decorrer da refeição você precisar se ausentar, coloque seus pauzinhos ao lado do prato ou da tigela antes de sair. Nunca crave os pauzinhos numa tigela de arroz, pois isto é um símbolo associado à morte. Outros gestos a evitar são estalar os dedos, apontar e assobiar, pois são todos considerados rudes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;If at any point in the course of the meal you need to excuse yourself, place   your chopsticks alongside your plate or bowl before you leave.  Never stand your   chopsticks up in a bowl of rice as this is a symbol associated with death.    Other gestures to avoid are snapping the fingers, pointing, or whistling, as   these are all considered rude.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Após a refeição&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;After the meal&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Após a refeição, é aceitável dar um presente ao mestre; entretanto, este ato deve ser discreto, para evitar ofender outros convidados que não levaram nada. Geralmente, quando os presentes são dados, quem recebe irá recusar educadamente por pelo menos duas ou três vezes. É esperado que a pessoa insista gentilmente até que o presente seja aceito; entretanto, deve-se ser compreensivo caso haja uma recusa sincera. Quando o presente for aceito, ele deve ser oferecido com as duas mãos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;After the meal, it is okay to give the   master a gift; however, gift-giving should be modest so as to avoid   offending the other guests who did not bring anything.  Generally, when gifts   are given, the receiver will politely decline at least two or three times.  It   is expected that the giver will gently persist until the gift is accepted;   however, you should be sensitive to a sincere refusal.  When the gift is   accepted, offer the gift with both hands.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Presentes apropriados incluem: plantas ou flores em vasos, artigos de arte ou artesanato, algo de sua cultura natal, alguma coisa que você ache que seu mestre irá usar com frequência, ou algo que irá beneficiar ou decorar a escola. Durante o Ano Novo Chinês, é apropriado dar frutas, doces, roupas, bebidas alcoólicas de qualidade, ou, se o mestre fumar, tabaco de qualidade. Os embrulhos devem ser feitos em papel vermelho ou dourado. Se você quiser dar dinheiro, certifique-se de colocá-lo em um envelope vermelho e oferecer uma quantia que seja divisível por 3, 5, 8 ou 9.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Appropriate gifts include: potted plants or flowers, quality arts or crafts,   something from your native culture, something you feel the master could use or   would use often, or something that would either benefit or beautify the school.    For Chinese New Year, it is also appropriate to give fruits, sweets, clothing,   quality alcohol, or, if the master smokes, fine tobacco.  Gift wrapping is also   nice, but be sure to use red or gold paper.  If you would like to give money, be   sure to place it in a red envelope and give an amount that is divisible by 3, 5,   8, or 9.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nunca dê ao mestre relógios, calendários, ou flores cortadas; nunca dê presentes embrulhados em papel branco, e nunca dê presentes em conjuntos de quatro, pois estes são todos símbolos de morte ou funerais. Além disso, nunca dê um presente que seja afiado, como tesouras ou facas, pois isto representa cortar os laços. Finalmente, seja cuidadoso ao oferecer comida como presente, pois isto pode simbolizar pobreza ou desespero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;Never give the master a clock, watch, or calendar; never give cut   flowers; never give gifts that are white or wrapped in white paper; and   never give items in sets of four as these are all symbolic of death or funerals.    Also, never give a gift that is sharp, such as scissors or a knife, as it can   represent cutting ties.  Finally, be careful when offering gifts of food for it   could symbolize poverty or despair.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Antes dos convidados irem embora, é comum todos tirarem fotos. Para evitar a possibilidade de ser rude, sempre se certifique de que o mestre sabe que está sendo fotografado. Numa fotografia com seu mestre, sempre fique ao lado direito dele. Numa foto em grupo, o mestre deve ficar ao centro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Before the guests leave, it is also common for everyone to take photos.  To   avoid the possibility of being rude, always be sure the master knows he or she   is being photographed before shooting.  In a photograph with just you and the   master, always stand to your master's right side.  In larger group photos,   make sure the master is in the middle.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Embora muitas dessas formalidades possam parecer excessivas ou arrogantes, elas são muito importantes. Fazer o esforço extra de observar a cortesia é uma das melhores maneiras de deixar uma impressão positiva para o mestre e ajudar a a estabelecer um laço forte. Na cultura chinesa, a relação entre mestre e discípulo é sagrada, e neste contexto, o aluno sincero deve fazer todo e qualquer esforço para mostrar o maior grau de respeito.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;Though many of these formalities seem excessive or overbearing, they are very   important.  Making the extra effort to observe courtesy is one of the best ways   to leave a positive impression with the master and help to further establish a   strong dynamic.  In Chinese culture, the relationship between master and   disciple is sacred, and in that light, the sincere student should make every   effort to display the highest level of respect.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2385315210376230494-2217404732018130237?l=wahlumbrasil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2385315210376230494/posts/default/2217404732018130237'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2385315210376230494/posts/default/2217404732018130237'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wahlumbrasil.blogspot.com/2010/05/o-que-fazer-e-nao-fazer-de-acordo-com.html' title='O que fazer e não fazer de acordo com a etiqueta chinesa para banquetes'/><author><name>AG</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Yatfm10wee0/TQkJBX9bV7I/AAAAAAAAAL4/GABcSWBfhRQ/S220/geandong7.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Yatfm10wee0/S_IW8cMVLMI/AAAAAAAAABM/kTNsXl4tX_E/s72-c/dinner.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2385315210376230494.post-5006841364947813393</id><published>2010-05-17T21:27:00.010-03:00</published><updated>2010-12-15T18:48:39.693-02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kung fu'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='autoconhecimento'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='filosofia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='auto-aperfeiçoamento'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='laozi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wude'/><title type='text'>Kung Fu - caminho para o auto-aperfeiçoamento</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Século XXI: grandes transformações, novos paradigmas e novos desafios para a Humanidade. O surgimento de uma consciência universal, da integração e da maior compreensão entre os povos. Tudo isso tem sido muito falado na mídia. Especialistas, esotéricos, religiosos, todos pregam que estamos vivendo num período de transformações que afetarão sobremaneira nossa maneira de viver e de enxergar o mundo. Como em todo período de transformação, há um momento prévio de total confusão e incerteza. A ansiedade toma conta de nossas vidas, o individualismo, a pressa e a pressão da economia moderna; tudo é descartável, inclusive as pessoas. O TER é mais importante do que o SER.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;21st century: major changes, new paradigms and new challenges for mankind. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;The emergence of a universal consciousness, integration and greater understanding among people. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;All this has been widely reported in the media. &lt;/span&gt;Experts,  esoteric, religious, all preach that we are living in a period of  changes that&amp;nbsp; will greatly affect our way of living and seeing the  world. &lt;span title=""&gt;As in any period of changes, there is a previous moment of total confusion and uncertainty. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;Anxiety  takes over our lives, individualism, the rush and pressure of modern  economics, everything is disposable, including people. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;To HAVE is more important than to BE.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Nesta sociedade “emplastificada”, dominada pelo consumo desenfreado de novos produtos rapidamente perecíveis, há uma ferramenta de libertação que resiste ao tempo e às mais diferentes provações, adaptando-se conforme as circunstâncias qual água que se adapta ao recipiente que a contém. Esta ferramenta, muito popularizada hoje pelos meios de comunicação através de filmes e programas de tv, é o Kung Fu, a arte marcial chinesa - afirma Sifu Antonio Guerreiro, instrutor de Kung Fu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;-  In this "plastic" society, which is dominated by the unbridled  consumption of new quickly perishable&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt; products&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;, there is a tool of  liberation that resists time and the more different trials, adapting as  circumstances like water that adapts to the container that holds it.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;This tool, very popular today in the  media through movies and television programs is the Kung Fu, Chinese  martial art - says Sifu Antonio Guerreiro, Kung Fu instructor.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ele lembra que, criado num período conturbado de muitas guerras e revoltas, o Kung Fu em sua origem tinha como finalidade principal a auto-defesa, ou seja, a aplicação marcial de seus fundamentos. Exércitos inteiros eram treinados em suas técnicas, procurando a maior eficiência possível no que se referia a derrotar seus adversários. Para isto foram desenvolvidas diversas técnicas, tanto de golpes contundentes quanto de projeções, imobilizações e torções, sem contar as inúmeras armas utilizadas, das mais diversas formas e tamanhos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;He  recalls that, as it was created in a turbulent period of many wars and revolts, Kung Fu´s main purpose was self-defense, or the martial  application of its fundamentals. &lt;span title=""&gt;Whole armies were trained in their techniques, looking for the best efficiency possible when it came to defeat their opponents. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;For  this, several techniques were created, using punches, kicks, elbows, throws, holds and locks, not to mention the many weapons used with many different shapes and sizes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Com o passar do tempo, a prática de Kung Fu passou a se popularizar também em outras camadas da sociedade chinesa, desde os religiosos, como os monges budistas e os sacerdotes taoístas, até os governantes, nobres e letrados, muitas vezes versados em várias correntes filosóficas. Isto contribuiu para que diversos conceitos mais sutis fossem absorvidos e utilizados no treinamento das artes marciais, tornando o Kung Fu uma arte cada vez mais e mais sofisticada e refinada - observa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;-  Over time, the practice of Kung Fu has become popular in other groups of Chinese society: from the religious, as Buddhist monks and Taoist  priests, to the rulers, nobles and scholars, often well versed in  various &lt;span title=""&gt;philosophical schools of thought. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;This  helped to the development of several more subtle concepts in  martial arts training, making the Kung Fu a more and more  sophisticated and refined&amp;nbsp; art form - he says.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Segundo ele, hoje em dia, em que a violência é algo comum em quase todas as grandes cidades, o treinamento de artes marciais toma uma outra proporção, adquire uma outra finalidade. "Obviamente, é importante ressaltar a total aplicabilidade das técnicas aprendidas e praticadas nas escolas de Kung Fu em circunstâncias de defesa-pessoal. Mas o principal objetivo do treinamento de Kung Fu e de qualquer outra arte marcial nos tempos modernos é o autoconhecimento, o auto-aperfeiçoamento", afirma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;According  to him, nowadays, where violence is very common in almost all major cities,  martial arts training gets another purpose.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;"Obviously, it is important to emphasize  the total applicability of the techniques learned and practiced in the  Kung Fu schools in&amp;nbsp; self-defense circumstances. But the main goal of  the training of Kung Fu and other martial arts in modern times is  self-knowledge, self &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;-improvement, "he says.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- No dia-a-dia do treinamento, o praticante se vê o tempo todo diante de seus limites, suas fraquezas e dificuldades, tanto no aspecto físico quanto no mental e emocional. A partir daí, ele deve se esforçar para, lenta e gradativamente, estender seus limites, corrigindo suas falhas e cultivando suas virtudes - ensina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;-  On the day-by-day training, the practitioner can always see his limitations, his weaknesses and difficulties, both  physical and mental / emotional. &lt;span title=""&gt;From  there, he should strive to slowly and gradually extend its limitations,  correcting their faults and cultivating virtues - he teaches.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Antonio Guerreiro diz que vários conceitos provenientes da doutrina confucionista, como o respeito aos mais velhos e aos antepassados, justiça, gentileza, são inerentes às práticas das artes marciais, especialmente do Kung Fu. Além disso, práticas budistas como o profundo auto-controle, disciplina, a busca da realização espiritual através dos treinamentos, e as influências taoístas, como o conceito da alternância e complementaridade dos opostos (yin e yang), fazem parte dos fundamentos do Kung Fu, e que devem ser aplicados no dia-a-dia, na vida em sociedade (seja no seio da família, no trabalho, no colégio, na faculdade, ou mesmo com os vizinhos e concidadãos).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="hps" style="color: #990000;" title="Click for alternate translations"&gt;Antonio Guerrero&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="hps" style="color: #990000;" title="Click for alternate translations"&gt;says&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="hps" style="color: #990000;" title="Click for alternate translations"&gt;that&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;

Uma de mãos-livres, uma  de lança e uma de espada! E, como sempre, impressionou a todos com sua  jovialidade e energia, demonstrando suas já tradicionais posturas  baixíssimas e aberturas completas de pernas, apesar dos mais de 70 anos  de idade. Realmente, é um exemplo para todos e uma lenda viva do kung  fu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;span class="hps" title="Click for alternate translations"&gt;To everyone's surprise&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt; Pelo aluno sênior Fernando Pinheiro&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;By the senior student Fernando Pinheiro&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Na antiga China, durante a Guerra dos Três Reinos (207 – 265 d.C.),  o general Zhuge Liang era conhecido como o “Dragão Adormecido”. Suas façanhas durante este período tornaram-se lendárias e ninguém conseguia capturá-lo em emboscadas, traições ou estratagemas. Para conseguir isso, o general Zhuge Liang cultivou cuidadosamente a reputação de homem mais ardiloso e astuto da China. Tão eficaz quanto uma arma, sua reputação amedrontava antecipadamente o inimigo, o que lhe rendia uma vantagem inicial em qualquer situação. Assim, enquanto o inimigo permanecia atordoado num primeiro encontro, o general Zhuge Liang desenvolvia seu plano e o vencia.&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;In  ancient China, during the Three Kingdoms Period (207-265 AD), general Zhuge Liang was known as the "Sleeping Dragon". &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;His achievements during this period have become legendary and no one could catch him in ambush, treachery or trickery. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;To accomplish this, general Zhuge Liang carefully cultivated a reputation as the more cunning and crafty man of China. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;As effective as a weapon, his reputation frightened the enemy in advance, which earned him an early advantage in any situation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;Thus, while the enemy stood stunned at first meeting, general Zhuge Liang developed its plan and won the battle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Segundo conta uma história, enquanto chefiava as forças do Reino Shu, o grande general Zhuge Liang despachou o seu enorme exército para um campo distante a fim de descansar numa cidadezinha com somente uma centena de seus soldados. Repentinamente, os seus sentinelas trouxeram-lhe a notícia de que um exército inimigo liderado por Sima Yi se aproximava, composto por mais de 150 mil soldados. Para seus homens, a situação de Zhuge Liang parecia ser desesperadora. Seu grande inimigo Sima Yi iria finalmente capturá-lo.&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;" title=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;" title=""&gt;According  to a story, while leading the forces of Kindgom of Shu, the great general  Zhuge Liang dispatched his huge army to a distant field to rest in a  small town with only a hundred of his soldiers. Suddenly, his sentinels brought him the news that an army led by Sima Yi was aproaching, with over 150.000 soldiers. To his men, the situation seemed hopeless. His great enemy Sima Yi would finally capture him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sem lamentar seu destino ou perder tempo tentando imaginar como tinha sido apanhado nesta cilada, o general Zhuge Liang ordenou que suas tropas arriassem as bandeiras, abrissem os portões da cidade e se escondessem. O general Zhuge Liang, então, vestiu um manto taoísta e sentou-se na parte mais visível do muro da cidade. Com bastante incenso aceso à sua volta, ele ficou cantando enquanto dedilhava seu alaúde. Pouco tempo depois, do alto muro viu o exército inimigo aproximando-se na forma de uma falange interminável de soldados fortemente armados. Fingindo não ter percebido nada, o general Zhuge Liang parecia não se importar com a aproximação ameaçadora do exército inimigo; ele continuou a cantar e a tocar seu alaúde. Logo, o exército inimigo estava diante dos portões da cidade. Sima Yi estava à frente do exército e reconheceu Zhuge Liang prontamente.&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #990000;"&gt;Without regret his fate or spend time trying to imagine how he had  been caught in this trap, general Zhuge Liang ordered his troops to haul down the flags, open the city gates and go into hiding. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #990000;" title=""&gt;General Zhuge Liang then dressed a Taoist robe and sat in the most visible part of the city wall. With plenty of incense burning around him, he was singing while strumming his lute. Shortly thereafter, from the high walls he saw the enemy approaching with an endless phalanx of heavily armed soldiers. Pretending  not to have noticed anything, general Zhuge Liang didn´t bothered with the ominous enemy army, he continued to sing and  play his lute. Soon the army was before the city gates. Sima Yi was ahead of the army and Zhuge Liang acknowledged promptly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Com os soldados impacientes atrás de si, atiçando suas armas e revolvendo-se dentro de suas armaduras, prontos para atravessar os portões escancarados da cidade, Sima Yi hesitou. Ele conteve seus homens e estudou o general Zhuge Liang sobre o muro. Em seguida, ordenou a imediata retirada do seu exército. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en" style="background-color: white; color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;With the soldiers impatient behind him, poking their arms and shaking their  armor, ready to cross the wide open city gates, Sima Yi hesitated. &lt;/span&gt;He held his men and studied general Zhuge Liang. &lt;span title=""&gt;Then he ordered the immediate withdrawal of its army.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #990000; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Quando Sima Yi chegou à cidade vazia ficou perplexo ao encontrar o general calmo e impassível numa atitude típica dos grande sábios. O general Zhuge Liang evidentemente estava brincando com ele, desafiando-o a cair numa de suas intrincadas armadilhas. Ou o general poderia estar realmente dando sua última cartada, sozinho e desesperado. No fim das contas, não havia como ter certeza. Mesmo com um forte exército ao seu imediato dispor, Sima Yi tinha tanto medo do general Zhuge Liang que não ousou se arriscar. Ele tinha lutado com o general Zhuge Liang dezenas de vezes e o conhecia muito bem. Algo estava errado. Algo tinha que estar errado!&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #ebeff9; color: black;" title=""&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="background-color: white; color: #990000;"&gt;When Sima Yi came to the empty city was puzzled upon seeing the general calm and impassive&amp;nbsp; in an attitude typical of the great sages. G&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="background-color: white; color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;eneral Zhuge Liang was evidently playing with him, challenging him to go into one of his intricate traps. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;Or the general could be really giving his last stand, alone and desperate. Ultimately&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;, he could not be sure. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;Even  with a strong army at his immediate disposal, Sima Yi was so afraid of general Zhuge Liang he did not dare to take a chance. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;He had fought with General Zhuge Liang dozens of times and knew him very well. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;Something was wrong. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;Something had to be wrong!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ao menor deslize durante os desafios da vida, você pode ficar vulnerável e ser atacado por todos os lados. O mundo que o ser humano acabou construindo para si, uma máquina fria e maniqueísta, infelizmente não perdoa falhas. Entretanto, você pode usar as engrenagens desta máquina diabólica em seu benefício; usando apenas a sua reputação, você pode intimidar e vencer seus “inimigos”. Seja um exemplo de caráter para todos e torne a sua reputação inexpugnável. Ao mesmo tempo em que você cresce como ser humano, passa a estar sempre alerta aos ataques em potencial, frustrando-os antes que eles sejam concretizados. Mesmo estando em uma situação desfavorável se em comparação à dos seus “inimigos”, eles irão temê-lo por conhecerem a sua reputação. E, ao final da história, “arriscando a sua vida” ao defender a sua própria reputação, você irá salvá-la.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en" style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;At the slightest slip during life's challenges, you may be vulnerable and being attacked from all sides. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;The world that man has built for himself, a cold and Manichaean &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en" style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;machine &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en" style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;unfortunately does not forgive failure. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;However,  you can use this evil machine for your benefit; using only your  reputation, you can intimidate and defeat your "enemies." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;Be an example of character to all and make your reputation inexpugnable. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;While you grow as a human being, you always stay alert to potential attacks, avoiding them before they are implemented. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;Even if it is a disadvantage compared to your "enemies", they will fear you because they know your reputation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;And at the end of the story, "risking your life" to defend your own reputation, you will save it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Adaptado do livro “As 48 leis do poder” – Robert Greene e Jost Elffers, Editora Rocco&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en" style="color: #990000;"&gt;Adapted from the book "The 48 Laws of Power" - Robert Greene and Elffers Jost, Rocco Ed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2385315210376230494-1348016059353443801?l=wahlumbrasil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2385315210376230494/posts/default/1348016059353443801'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2385315210376230494/posts/default/1348016059353443801'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wahlumbrasil.blogspot.com/2010/04/arrisque-propria-vida-para-defender-sua.html' title='Arrisque a própria vida para defender a sua reputação'/><author><name>Wah Lum Brasil</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16564305250518926757</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lSxdg82JpiM/S7zwVmTH59I/AAAAAAAAACA/6bIWbGTulj8/S220/wl+copy.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lSxdg82JpiM/S9nfnfDX3yI/AAAAAAAAATM/4dNLPhS6d8M/s72-c/zhuge.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2385315210376230494.post-1142130886929473711</id><published>2010-04-29T16:11:00.009-03:00</published><updated>2010-12-15T19:14:57.563-02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kung fu'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='filosofia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='treinamento'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Wah Lum'/><title type='text'>Kung Fu: Filosofia Prática e o Caminho Marcial</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Para inaugurar nosso blog, trago aqui traduzido um texto escrito pelo aluno sênior Josh Conway, da escola do Sibaak Bob Rosen, em Boston. Ela espelha fielmente nosso pensamento a respeito do treinamento Wah Lum.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;To start our blog, I bring here a text written by the senior student Josh Conway, from Sibaak Bob Rosen´s school in Boston. It reflects perfectly our thoughts about the Wah Lum training.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lSxdg82JpiM/S9nbQ-gCNtI/AAAAAAAAATA/IKBdKIE5okc/s1600/long_road_to_nowhere.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lSxdg82JpiM/S9nbQ-gCNtI/AAAAAAAAATA/IKBdKIE5okc/s320/long_road_to_nowhere.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: red; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Kung Fu: Filosofia Prática e o Caminho Marcial&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Uma carta aos alunos novos ou potenciais de um aluno um pouco mais velho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="article_header" style="color: #990000;"&gt;Kung Fu: Practical Philosophy and the Martial Path&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="color: #990000;" /&gt;&lt;span class="article_subheader" style="color: #990000;"&gt;A letter to the new or prospective student from a slightly older student.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;       &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Wah Lum tem uma longa história que traz consigo tradições que interligam a escola a muitos aspectos da cultura chinesa, incluindo a filosofia. É difícil medir a importância dos três pilares da filosofia chinesa (Taoísmo, Budismo e Confucionismo) para a história da China e para todas suas instituições culturais, grandes ou pequenas. Além do mais, estas tradições filosóficas continuam a permear e, verdadeiramente, formar a China e suas instituições ainda hoje. Além do conhecimento marcial contido nos movimentos, uma nova visão de mundo é construída com a prática do kung fu tradicional.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Wah Lum has a long history, with deeply held traditions  that intertwine the school with many aspects of martial and Chinese  culture, including philosophy. The importance of the three pillars of  Chinese philosophy (Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism) to the history  of China, and all of its cultural institutions large and small, is  difficult to overstate. What’s more, these philosophical traditions  continue to permeate, and indeed shape, China and its institutions even  today. Beyond the martial knowledge contained in the movements, a  culture and worldview is woven into the fabric of traditional kung fu.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;O que o aluno não encontrará aqui são cabeças raspadas, rituais monásticos ou a imposição de se aderir a alguma crença em particular. Apesar da famosa linhagem da escola traçar sua história para mais de um monastério diferente, a escola de hoje é dirigida por um templo de kung fu e não um templo budista. Como kung fu em português significa “trabalho duro”, o que o aluno encontrará aqui é um grupo de artistas marciais dedicados que valorizam e continuamente se esforçam para cultivar a paciência, força de vontade, humildade e amizade através da prática física do kung fu. Coisas valiosas requerem trabalho duro.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;What a student won’t find here are shaved heads, monastic rituals, or  imposed adherence to particular structures of belief. Though the famous  lineage of the school traces its history to more than one monastery,  today’s school is led by a kung fu temple, not a Buddhist one. As kung  fu in English means “hard work,” what a student will find is a group of  dedicated martial artists who value and continually strive to cultivate  patience, will power, humility, and fellowship through the physical  practice of kung fu. Things of great value require hard work.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;O caminho marcial prima por uma filosofia prática já que ele é enraizado numa arte prática distinta: o combate. Através da prática de movimentos de luta e das aplicações o artista marcial descobre suas forças e fraquezas, e como desenvolver ambas. Através da prática diligente você pode começar a mudar seus hábitos mentais e modo de agir. Primeiramente você deverá praticar uma sequência tanto tempo que ela não mais vai necessitar de um pensamento consciente para ser executada. Eventualmente, você poderá notar que você usará uma defesa ou contra-ataque sem sequer pensar. Mais tarde você irá se perceber olhando para o mundo ao seu redor por uma perspectiva diferente: seja em virtude das mudanças em seu interior, sua relação com o mundo ao seu redor, ou uma combinação de ambos. O treinamento do corpo há muito é reconhecido como um meio de atingir uma contemplação profunda, de se treinar a mente. Muitos dos mestres que desenvolveram o kung fu e treinaram outros nesta disciplina o fizeram com um objetivo maior em mente. Este objetivo é muito maior do que as armadilhas do combate ou a glória de competições. Esses tipos de mudança de perspectiva constituem o modelo para a filosofia prática. É esta filosofia que se encontra no coração do caminho marcial tradicional.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The martial path prizes practical philosophy as it is rooted in a  distinctly practical art—combat. Through the practice of fighting  movements and applications martial artists discover their strengths and  weaknesses, and how to improve both. Through diligent practice, you can  begin to change your mental habits and framework. At first you may  practice a sequence long enough that it no longer takes conscious  thought to execute the movements. You may eventually notice that you can  use a defense and counter without thinking. Still later, you may find  yourself looking at the world around you with a different perspective:  whether due to changes within yourself, your relationship to the world  around you, or a combination of both. The training of the body has long  been recognized as a means to achieve deeper contemplation, to train the  mind. Many of the masters who developed kung fu and trained others in  the discipline did so with this ultimate goal in mind. This ultimate  goal is much larger than the trappings of fighting or the glory of  championships. These kinds of changes in perspective constitute the  framework for practical philosophy. It’s this philosophy that is at the  heart of the traditional martial path.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;De maneira prática, você encontrará uma variedade de material: formas de mãos-livres, lutas combinadas, armas, técnicas de longo alcance, de curto alcance, movimentos duros e suaves, defesas, ataques, chutes, rasteiras ou arremessos. O kung fu o desafia a melhorar seu equilíbrio, coordenação, amplitude de movimento, fluidez, força, resistência – e até mesmo sua memória. Mas, embora este seja um caminho pessoal, ninguém o percorre sozinho.  Haverá muita orientação, apoio e estímulo amigável de todos aqueles que estudam e treinam para melhorarem a si próprios. A comunidade oferece uma lente através da qual se pode enxergar seu progresso e os inevitáveis tropeços, e garante que o sistema não apenas exista, mas que cresça e mude contínua e dinamicamente. Assim como uma técnica requer um bom lutador para que ela funcione, um sistema respeitável precisa de uma boa comunidade para mantê-lo respeitável. Tal praticalidade é encontrada em todos os elementos do caminho marcial.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;As a practical matter, you will find a depth of material: hand forms,  two person sets, weapons; long range techniques, short range techniques;  hard and soft movements; defenses, strikes, kicks, sweeps, and  takedowns. Kung fu will challenge you to improve your balance,  coordination, range of motion, fluidity, strength, power, endurance—even  your memory. Though it’s your path, no one walks alone. There will be  plenty of guidance, support, and friendly nudging from all who study and  train to better themselves. The community presents a lens through which  to see your progression and inevitable stumbles, and insures the system  itself does not just exist, but continues to grow and dynamically  change. Just as any technique requires a good fighter to work, a  venerable system needs a good community to keep it venerable. Such  practicality is found in all elements of the martial way.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apenas porque você pratica kung fu não significa que você irá encontrar paz, contentamento, maestria física, habilidade de luta ou iluminação. Kung fu pode apenas fornecer um caminho: são os seus próprios passos que levam ao seu sucesso. Embora você possa ser surpreendido por aquilo que você vai descobrir, você só obterá de sua prática aquilo que você dedicou a ela.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i style="color: #990000;"&gt;Just because you practice kung fu does not mean that you will find  peace, contentment, physical mastery, fighting skill, or enlightenment.  Kung fu can only provide a path; it’s the culmination of your own steps  that add up to your success. Though you might be surprised by what you  uncover, you will only take from your practice as much as you put into  it.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;O original deste texto pode ser lido no endereço:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;http://www.wahlumpai.us/philosophy_and_path.htm&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;The original of this text can be found at the address:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wahlumpai.us/philosophy_and_path.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wahlumpai.us/philosophy_and_path.htm"&gt;http://www.wahlumpai.us/philosophy_and_path.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wahlumpai.us/philosophy_and_path.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wahlumpai.us/philosophy_and_path.htm"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2385315210376230494-1142130886929473711?l=wahlumbrasil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2385315210376230494/posts/default/1142130886929473711'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2385315210376230494/posts/default/1142130886929473711'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wahlumbrasil.blogspot.com/2010/04/kung-fu-filosofia-pratica-e-o-caminho.html' title='Kung Fu: Filosofia Prática e o Caminho Marcial'/><author><name>Wah Lum Brasil</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16564305250518926757</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lSxdg82JpiM/S7zwVmTH59I/AAAAAAAAACA/6bIWbGTulj8/S220/wl+copy.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lSxdg82JpiM/S9nbQ-gCNtI/AAAAAAAAATA/IKBdKIE5okc/s72-c/long_road_to_nowhere.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry></feed>
