Honorable Great Grandmaster Lushan
Daoren was the 32nd generation master.
Grandmaster Chiao Chang-Hung was
the 33rd generation master of this great
system which is one of the oldest Taoist
system known today.
It consists of three skills: ju kung (nine
chamber fist), chian kuan jen
(swordsmanship); and Shih Shui Kung
(bone marrow washing). In skill, it is
based on the Taoist practice of the balancing
between yin and yang to relax
the tendons and bones and to perform
marrow washing. It is actually an exclusive
literature and a rich inheritance
passed down through the centuries by
word of mouth. This is a Taoist system,
not a Buddhist system or Shaolin system
as some people claim.
In the late 1700s, Lushan Daoren established
a new Little Nine Heaven temple
on Yi Wu Lu Mountain in northeastern
China. He was believed to have been
over 150 years of age. Over the years
during the early 1900s, Lushan Daoren
taught the complete system to young
Chiao. Both masters have mastered the
highest level of Little Nine Heaven Wu
Tao system consisting of meditation,
levitation, mind travel, healing and
fighting. Years later with the Communist
take-over of the Mainland China,
he immigrated to Taiwan and started
teaching Hsing-I, Pa-Kua, and Little
Nine Heaven Wu Tao. The Honorable
Grandmaster Chiao Chang-Hung became
a living legend in the martial art
world of today for his many incredible
skills. James McNeil is Grandmaster
Chiao’s only American student.
In 1984, he received the highest honor
any man could receive. That was the
Little Nine Heaven sword, which signified
James McNeil is an official Little
Nine Heaven Wu Tao indoor student of
Grandmaster Chiao Chang-Hung.
Every year McNeil would visit Master
Chiao in Taiwan and many time Master
Chiao would stay at McNeil house in
California and teach him.
What Is Shih Shui?
Shih Shui, also known as “Bone Marrow
Washing,” is a component of the
ancient Taoist Little Nine Heaven system
which originated in China almost
2000 years ago. Shih Shui is the most
powerful form of chi-kung/nei-kung
there is and focuses on strengthening
the internal body, increasing sexual
energy with the goal to optimize and
preserve the health of the body, mind,
and spirit. It consists primarily of a series
of special breathing and strengthening
exercises along with specific energy
circulation techniques.
Traditionally, there are three different
goals for learning the Shih Shui Kung
training. The first is health and longevity.
The second is to improve kung fu
abilities and the third is enlightenment.
There are four stages in the third goal to
reach enlightenment (1) Converting
Ching to Chi (2) Converting Chi to
Shen (3) Refining Shen to emptiness,
(4) Converting emptiness to the child.
This holy fetus possesses the highest
wisdom in the psychic and spiritual
world. The main requirements to
achieve such a state are patience, perseverance,
and a good teacher.
Many people who learn Shih Shui Kung
are only looking for the first two goals
which truly have many health benefits
that are more powerful than they can
ever imagine but most people ignore the
final stage.
Chi kung exercises had been taught for
thousands of years and have been
taught openly to everyone. But Shih
Shui masters have gone to great lengths
to preserve its secrecy. Many of the secrets
of Shih Shui are taught only by
word of mouth to the student whom the
master feels is worthy. Many Chinese
chi kung practitioners have read Grandmaster
Chiao book on Shih Shui and
claim they now know the system and
teach it the way they interpreted it
Some have even written their own
books. But the true secrets of Shih Shui
are only translated orally and will never
be written in a book.
Shih-Shui can be practiced alongside,
and will enhance, any other discipline.
Any adult man or woman can learn and
gain the benefits of Shih Shui.
What are the Health Benefits of
Practicing Shih-Shui?
Shih-Shui promotes feelings of youthfulness
and clearer, sharper thinking. A
robust immune system, strong bones,
and supple ligaments are among the
results of regular practice. Shih-Shui
will build up testosterone levels, prevent
premature ejaculation, strengthen
the immune system, purify the bone
marrow, increase bone density, and
strengthen the prostate gland to prevent
problems with that organ which have
become such a major concern for men’s
health in the past few years. For a man,
it will increase the blood supply to his
penis which will keep an erection
stronger even well into his senior years.
Shih-Shui can provide these and many
more benefits that address a variety of
health issues that have a direct correlation
to aging and diseases associated
with aging.
For a woman, these same exercises will
strengthen and tighten the vaginal muscles
which can greatly enhance her sexual
pleasure.
