Kung Fu and Yoga. Why Everyone Should Practice Yoga-Fu.

[Oldchemical]

Yoga is an ancient vedic art of exercise and relaxation of body and mind.

'Skill through practice', is the meaning of kung fu. Every thing is kung fu.

Young, old or dead. Two simple arts will bring you alive.

Kung-Fu and Yoga

Here's how

1. Bone and Muscle Maintenance

Just one hour of practice will cause your muscle to flex and bones to develop some additional tension. The connective tissues will love the motion.

Your body will be in an active yet relaxed state. Increased strength and agility.

2. Stress Relief

Yoga and kung fu have been proven to increase the amount of 'gamma amino butric acid'. This thing below is 4-Amino butric acid, or GABA

GABA is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter.

Deficiency of this compound causes stress and anxiety.

One hour of sincere practice will fix your mental health.

3. Strength and Defense

Both are proven to cause muscle gain and increase in bone density.

Also learning self defence will bring you mastery in ass kicking.

My 82 year old gramps can still work with his old railway engine maintenance kit.

That's Yoga-Fu.

4. Body toning

No kidding. Few months of Yoga-Fu will make any girl drop dead gorgeous and every guy will have a lean physique.

5. Blood Pressure Regulation

Abnormal Blood pressure is a bitch. Ask the elderly.

Yoga lowers blood pressure naturally by inducing deep relaxation in the body, which is associated with reduced nervous system activity and a feeling of well-being, due to an increase in antioxidants and lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol.

6. Decreased risk of Heart problems

Building cardiovascular health, increases lung capacity, and improves respiratory function and heart rate. It also boosts blood circulation, builds muscle, and decreases inflammation.

7. Young and healthy life

Cholesterol control, improved blood circulation, antioxidant release, hormonal equilibrium.

I can bet that our miss young and lovely here, is 35+.

I know people above 60, yet they look like in 50s. People who still have hairs on the head.

These simple activities require no expensive equipment, no expert trainers and no 'bleed you dry' gyms.

Just time and dedication.

I couldn't agree with you more. Kung Fu, yoga, tai chi, chi kung its all good stuff and very beneficial no matter age, body type etc. As you mentioned it is a wonderful combination which goes hand and hand with health and self defense. I figure hey, the Shaolin monks have been around for a very long time so they must be doing something right.

Never heard of Yoga Fu before. I do Yoga but it's called DDP Yoga where's it's traditional yoga but it mixes stuff like push ups, punching, to the mix. It was created by former wrestler Diamond Dallas Page who had injuries throughout his career.
