( Hand to Hand: Martial Arts ) Aikido ( revised )

Chun Xin Kung Fu
In medieval China Chun Xin or Noble Heart Kung Fu was very common among the aristocracy. Many young
noblemen learned this martial art, because it was simple and easy to learn, yet very broad in it’s scope. Chun
Xin achieves this by taking shortcuts. While it teaches empty handed moves, weapons, a few grappling moves,
and a little of just about everything else, it teaches nothing well. The moves are pretty, but often lack the finesse
or power than many other arts have.
Where Chun Xin excels though is in its scope. This is the only martial art that teaches every kind of martial art
power. It is a hodge-podge of moves, powers, and philosophy that has been packaged into an superficially
attractive package. Many of the noblemen who studied this form were duped by their masters into thinking that
they were more knowledgeable or skilled than they actually were, but over time the art became more coherent
and practical.
Chun Xin eventually fell out of favor, but lingered on to the present day in it’s current form. Students are still
encouraged to study the noble arts of China and to cultivate honor and respect for tradition. The training is as
eclectic as ever.
