(The Prodigy Child)

 

 

 

           For the SA-LONG-CƯƠNG Bình-Định Martial School System in particular, and for the Traditional Martial Arts School System from Bình-Định in gegeral, the Codified Sequence « Thần-Đồng » (神 童) is the one enlightening Martial Students as to Battle Fields Martial Arts of Việt people notion and acting as essential foundations of Bare Hands Fighting Techniques in Traditional Martial Arts of Việt-Nam.

       To tell the truth, this Codified Sequence « Thần-Đồng » (神 童) is made up of numerous versions as the most of the Codified Sequences in Traditional Martial Arts from Việt-Nam. This fact is infered from Martial Arts of old Đại-Việt's Dynasties that is the name of Coded Poems was only indicated but the content of the Codified Sequences was not fixed in advance, leaving various Martial School Systems free to express to their liking their Martial Arts studied, trained and preserved. By consequent, the different versions truthly take on a Multiplicity of Codified Sequences Aspect while they can keep specifical nature of Việt people Martial Arts thanks to the Unicity of Martial Arts Concept

Great Master Trương-Thanh-Đăng
presenting the Codified Sequence
«The Prodigy Child » (Thần-Đồng)

 

           The Codified Sequence of Bare Hands « Thần-Đồng - 神 僮 » (The Prodigy Child), from SA-LONG-CƯƠNG Bình-Định Martial School System, includes 12 Coded Lines of Verse (49 words) coding chain of solid attacks and defences techniques.
           It's about a fundamental Codified Sequence of Bare Hands passed on by celebrious Grand-Master Đinh-Cát to Grand-Master Trương-Thanh-Đăng..

           At first view, these techniques in the Codified Sequence « Thần-Đồng » (The Prodigy Child) look like movements for « digging the earth », « unblocking the oven», or for «taking away the hay», «chopping wood heating», appearing banal and leaving the fighter exposed, but in true combat they show us how they are powerful and sealed-off.

           Currently, there are a lot of persons who falsify it by adding and by removing techniques, and who carry out changes in the execution of the Codified Sequence ; because they don't understand the pedagogic valor of this Codified Sequence Sequence « Thần-Đồng » (The Prodigy Child), that why their students can't assimilate the wonderfull pedagogic side of his application.
