Donnie Yen’s Five Rules of Martial Arts Mastery
1. Turn your basic movements - regardless of style - into perfect jewels. If you accomplish this, you’ll have a good chance of becoming an advanced practitioner sooner than you may expect. Like good WuShu or even western boxing, extreme basic training is the only real secret for excellence.

2. Train your body athletically. Probably the most lacking aspect of modern practitioners, your overall physical condition, regardless of style - internal or external - is crucial to sustain long periods of often painful training.

3. Emphasize "fa jing" in your techniques. Top Western boxers exhibit fa jing as much as top Asian martial artists. Start with traditional Chinese styles to learn this crucial use of energy.

4. Strive for versatility and a wide exposure to different disciplines. After some years developing a specialty, force yourself to obtain at least intermediate skill in a few other styles completely different from yours.

5. Train for both combat and beauty of movement. Contrary to popular belief, a serious practitioner can achieve excellent fighting ability while looking fantastic. Always remember that top western boxers are as engaging to watch as contemporary WuShu athletes. Don’t be scared of one or the other.

WHAT IS "FA JING" by YEN
Fa jing is the hallmark of Donnie Yen the actor, film maker, and martial artist. Yen points out that fa jing at its core, is not necessarily unique to Chinese martial art masters. "Just take a look at Mike Tyson at his best. He always remained relaxed until the last moment. His blows were always extremely explosive and really focused. They were powered from a solid base of strong, kung fu-like legs, and guided by his waist. Almost pure Kung Fu in its essence." He recalls, "When I was a child I spent years undergoing heavy leg and waist training from my mother. With that athletic foundation I developed all of my tools so that I would be able to handle the physical demands of explosive energy.
