<p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">在一次偶然的契機中，我因一篇《致家長、同行和行業(yè)同仁的一封信》，與來自波蘭、現(xiàn)居美國的傳統(tǒng)武術(shù)踐行者 Narcyz Latecki 先生結(jié)下緣分。我們從一封留言開始往來，逐漸展開了一場跨越國界、跨越語言的深度對話——圍繞我們共同熱愛的中國武術(shù)。</p><p class="ql-block">Narcyz 謙遜地分享了他年少時在波蘭自學(xué)武術(shù)的經(jīng)歷，講述了他如何憑借對武術(shù)的熱愛移民美國，并在異國他鄉(xiāng)堅持至今。他坦言，自己寧愿在比賽中千次得不到公平評分，也不愿在評審席上失去公正。他關(guān)注當下傳統(tǒng)武術(shù)賽場上的現(xiàn)象：現(xiàn)代套路被歸入傳統(tǒng)項目，一些真正的傳統(tǒng)門派反而被誤解甚至邊緣化。他并未抱怨，而是分享了波蘭早年通過定期師資會議、文化交流、戶外聚會等方式，促進不同門派之間理解與尊重的經(jīng)驗。</p><p class="ql-block">我讀著他的文字，仿佛看到一群武者在山野間圍坐篝火旁，暢談拳理人生的情景。那份超越技藝的連結(jié)，正是我們當下所最缺乏的——不僅以拳會友，更以“道”相知。</p><p class="ql-block">之后，我又細細觀摩了 Narcyz 老師的演練視頻，內(nèi)心深受震撼。他雖非出身中華文化體系，亦不通漢語文字，卻能將中國傳統(tǒng)武術(shù)的神韻呈現(xiàn)得如此純粹、傳神。對一位非華裔而言，要學(xué)習、理解并真正體悟中國武術(shù)的精神，其難度遠勝于我們這些自小受中華文化浸潤的人。而他不僅做到了，還做得如此沉穩(wěn)、精準，那份執(zhí)著、敬畏與內(nèi)修之力，令人由衷敬佩。</p><p class="ql-block">當今人們更熟悉的是競技武術(shù)的形式之美，它強調(diào)爆發(fā)力、速度與表演性。但我更希望，能有更多人重新看見傳統(tǒng)武術(shù)的魅力——那份內(nèi)斂沉穩(wěn)、圓融無礙的東方哲思。</p><p class="ql-block">傳統(tǒng)武術(shù)不止于技藝，更是一種思維方式，一種修道方法，一種靜觀天地、感悟人生的智慧之路。</p><p class="ql-block">它教人強身，更教人立德；動中求靜，剛中見柔；它將“道”藏于“術(shù)”之中，讓人在每一式之間修煉身體、凈化心靈。如 Narcyz 所說，武術(shù)改變了他的人生，賦予他尊嚴、紀律與力量。而我深信，這條路依舊能在當代，引領(lǐng)更多人走向內(nèi)在的平和與生命的覺醒。</p><p class="ql-block">在這份跨越國界的文化交融中，我看到，武術(shù)不僅沒有被時代拋棄，反而以一種更深沉的姿態(tài)，悄然連接著人與人、心與心。愿我們因武結(jié)緣，以心傳心，在各自的土地上繼續(xù)播下傳統(tǒng)武術(shù)的種子，讓它生根、發(fā)芽、開花，綻放屬于這個時代的精神之光。</p> <p class="ql-block">By a stroke of chance, I came across Mr. Narcyz Latecki, a traditional martial artist originally from Poland and now based in the United States, through an article I wrote titled A Letter to Parents, Colleagues, and Industry Peers. What began as a simple exchange of messages gradually unfolded into a deep, cross-border, cross-cultural dialogue—centered around our shared love for Chinese martial arts.</p><p class="ql-block">Narcyz humbly shared his story of how he taught himself martial arts in Poland as a youth, how his passion eventually brought him to the United States, and how he has remained dedicated to the art ever since. He openly expressed that he would rather face unfair scoring a thousand times as a competitor than compromise fairness as a judge. He also raised concerns about the current state of traditional martial arts competitions—where modern routines are increasingly classified as “traditional,” and in doing so, some genuine traditional schools are misinterpreted or marginalized. Rather than complain, he offered insight from Poland’s earlier efforts to bridge these gaps: regular gatherings of instructors, cultural exchanges, and outdoor retreats that fostered mutual understanding and respect among different martial arts schools.</p><p class="ql-block">As I read his words, I could almost picture a circle of martial artists seated around a bonfire in the mountains, exchanging thoughts on combat theory and life. That connection—one that transcends technique—is what we lack most today: not just friendship through fists, but mutual recognition through the Dao.</p><p class="ql-block">Later, I closely studied videos of Narcyz’s martial arts practice and was deeply moved. Though he did not grow up within the Chinese cultural tradition and does not speak or read Chinese, he manages to embody the spirit and essence of traditional Chinese martial arts with remarkable purity and precision. For someone not of Chinese heritage, learning, understanding, and truly internalizing the spirit of Chinese martial arts is no small feat—it’s far more challenging than for those of us born into the culture. And yet, he has not only achieved it—he has done so with calm, accuracy, and profound reverence. His discipline, humility, and inward strength are truly admirable.</p><p class="ql-block">Today, the martial arts most people are familiar with tend to emphasize competitive aesthetics—explosiveness, speed, and spectacle. But I hope more people will rediscover the quiet power of traditional martial arts: its introspective stillness, its philosophical depth, and its seamless harmony.</p><p class="ql-block">Traditional martial arts is more than just technique—it is a way of thinking, a path of cultivation, and a form of Eastern wisdom that teaches us to observe the world in stillness and reflect on life itself.</p><p class="ql-block">It builds the body and also shapes moral character. It teaches how to find stillness in motion, softness within strength. It hides the Dao within the Shu (technique), guiding us to refine the body and purify the spirit, one form at a time. As Narcyz shared, martial arts changed his life—granting him dignity, discipline, and strength. And I firmly believe that this path still has the power to guide many others today toward inner peace and spiritual awakening.</p><p class="ql-block">In this cross-cultural exchange, I’ve seen that martial arts has not been left behind by the times. On the contrary—it is quietly evolving, connecting people and hearts in deeper ways.</p><p class="ql-block">May we continue to walk this path, bound by the spirit of martial arts, sowing its seeds in our own corners of the world, and together let them take root, grow, and blossom—bringing forth a light that belongs to this generation.</p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">The following is my exchange with Narcyz Latecki.</p><p class="ql-block"> <span style="font-size:18px;">Narcyz Latecki</span>：Humbly I would like to share my little story here..,</p><p class="ql-block">I grew up in Poland, where I first took steps to learn Wushu. Wushu then allowed me to immigrate to this beautiful country.</p><p class="ql-block">At first I have to say, fair judging is a very difficult job, I would personally prefer to compete a thousand times and not get a fair score, versus give it to someone as a judge!</p><p class="ql-block">Especially when you’re competing in traditional divisions, where you have a variety of different styles with different method and principles. This makes them so unique and have to be correctly recognized and understood by the judges…</p><p class="ql-block">I see another conflict, which I try to understand and respect by knowing where it comes from… Namely, speaking about, when Old School Modern Wushu routines become in traditional divisions..? </p><p class="ql-block">I actually understand the process and how the evolution progressing. Although I wonder about the other old traditional schools and styles who get discouraged to compete because the criteria and values of the styles which they represent is not recognized by current modern judges.., by the way, I think it’s really many traditional schools in US, who would love to compete and be recognize by USAWKF. </p><p class="ql-block">Secondly, when I grew up in Poland we had the same conflict, which at the time current leaders of our Federation created (bemonthly or quarterly) national wushu/kungfu meetings. The meetings were just a gathering all of the schools teachers. instructors, senior students etc. it was kind of a time when we all had a chance to meet and know each other better.., </p><p class="ql-block">Always one school, usually the host was introducing everyone to his own system, then we talk about rules, judging and etc., every time we would try to meet in different places so we can enjoy at the some time some hiking, swimming or just sitting in front of the fire, eat, drink, and laugh.., …we just spent this time to know each other better, so when we meet later on at the competition we can be more connected than the divide, more respectful to each other and be better judges… ??</p><p class="ql-block">Thank you for taking time to read my story [Worship][Worship][Worship]</p><p class="ql-block">Chinese Martial Arts it’s my love and my life [Salute][Salute][Salute]</p><p class="ql-block">Grace ：Thank you deeply for your heartfelt message. What moved me even more was your sincere and enduring love for martial arts. Although Wushu originated in China, the culture and spirit it embodies have long transcended borders, becoming a shared treasure of human wisdom.</p><p class="ql-block">Throughout the vast flow of history, regardless of dynastic changes or shifting eras, Chinese martial arts has been faithfully passed down and cherished by generations of practitioners. Each of us is like a star in this boundless legacy, for martial arts is not merely a skill—it is a lifelong path toward the “Dao,” an art and a philosophy to be cultivated through one’s entire life.</p><p class="ql-block">I have always believed that the exchange and fusion of diverse cultures is the driving force behind the ongoing evolution of martial arts. A singular, rigid system can lead to stagnation and narrow thinking. But the true beauty of martial arts lies in its fluid inclusivity—like water, it adapts, embraces, and nourishes. Each style, each tradition, is the product of natural evolution and collective human insight. Every individual has their own physical and mental constitution, and it is precisely this diversity of martial systems that allows people to find practices suited to their unique needs.</p><p class="ql-block">Your story about the Polish Wushu Federation was truly inspiring. The openness of dialogue, mutual respect in learning, and the willingness to bridge cultures—these are exactly what the martial arts world needs today. Only when hearts connect and cultures resonate can the techniques and spirit of martial arts truly flourish and endure.</p><p class="ql-block">Thank you again for your sharing. May we continue to cultivate the seeds of martial arts in our respective lands, and together, uphold this spirit that transcends nations and languages.</p><p class="ql-block">Narcyz Latecki ： @Grace Yan? Dear Grace, thank you for your beautiful reply. [Worship][Worship][Worship]</p><p class="ql-block">I’m speechless. </p><p class="ql-block">I’d like to just only say that I’m very grateful, that in the most difficult time of my life as I was growing up, Wushu found me and showed me the way… Give me the strength, discipline, teach me respect, and as well self-respect... Show me the beauty and values of life! And I deeply believe that everyone who needs.., as well can find in our current time the same way, through proper practice, and fair competing we can spread the great values of Wushu!

He has won the title of all-around champion many times in national and international Kungfu/Wushu competitions in Europe and the United States. Beginning his martial arts studies in the early eighties at the age of twelve, he and his two friends formed a "martial arts fight club" in his basement, where they practiced fighting techniques and strengthening their bodies, intensively training from 5 to 6 hours every single day. From this practice, his interest led him to acquire professional instruction in Japanese Karate Kyokushin. Two years later, he turned his passion to Chinese martial arts, which has become his life-long pursuit.</p><p class="ql-block"> </p><p class="ql-block">Since then, he studied extensively with several prominent masters in internal and external Chinese martial arts (Kung Fu/Wushu, Tai Chi and Chi Kung) in Poland, North America, and China.

The Beauty of the Body: A Poetic Flow of Power and Form</p><p class="ql-block">The movements of traditional Kung Fu are like calligraphy written with the body. They are not mechanical displays of force, but a harmony of intention (yi), energy (qi), form (xing), and spirit (shen). It follows the principle of “moving like a startled hare, resting like a maiden,” embodying tension and release, softness and strength.</p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block">II. The Beauty of the Spirit: Virtue Within Strength, Stillness Within Motion</p><p class="ql-block">The true beauty of traditional martial arts lies in the spirit it embodies. To not contend, yet respond with strength; to remain humble while being powerful; to respect others as oneself—these values are quietly transmitted in every punch and palm strike.</p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block">III. The Beauty of Culture: A Dialogue Across Time and Borders</p><p class="ql-block">Traditional Kung Fu is a crystallization of Chinese culture—blending philosophy, medicine, military strategy, and ethics. It is a living expression of culture through movement.</p><p class="ql-block">When a martial artist from Poland is able to grasp its deeper meaning and “translate” it physically with such accuracy, it becomes a poetic dialogue across cultures.</p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block">IV. The Beauty of Time: Mastery Through Repetition, Power Through Patience</p><p class="ql-block">Traditional martial arts is not a fleeting performance but a lifelong conversation with time. It demands daily practice, patient repetition, and refinement through every sunrise and sunset.</p><p class="ql-block">Its beauty lies in slowness—in the depth that only years of perseverance can bring.</p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block">V. The Beauty of Harmony with Nature: A Presence Between Heaven and Earth</p><p class="ql-block">Kung Fu holds the principle of Tian Ren He Yi—the unity of man and nature. To practice in the forest, breathe with the morning mist, begin a form in the wind, and close it in the stillness of night—this is not training against nature, but with it.</p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block">Conclusion:</p><p class="ql-block">The beauty of traditional martial arts does not lie in showy strength, but in cultivated restraint, humble discipline, unwavering dedication, and the harmony between Heaven, Earth, and humanity.</p><p class="ql-block">And when such beauty is expressed with clarity by a non-Chinese martial artist like Narcyz Latecki, what he conveys is not just the appeal of skill—but a spiritual echo of culture itself, a resonance of the human soul that transcends language and nationality.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p> <p class="ql-block">讀者提問 （Reader’s Question）：</p><p class="ql-block">黃永泰 ：想知道他的武術(shù)理念是什么？ （I’d like to know what his martial arts philosophy is？）</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Answer from Narcyz Latecki ：</p><p class="ql-block">My Martial Arts philosophy is rooted in basic principle as a human/martial artist, being responsible for balance: balancing your physical and mental stage of being. Understanding that everything can be seen differently from different perspectives, so we should respect different points of view. </p><p class="ql-block">From a westernized point of view, if I’m talking about Martial Arts using English word “Martial” is as a way of fighting with your own weakness on a daily basis, because there is always something you can improve in yourself. “Art” is your personal . So as the teacher, I try to help my students find and develop their own talents based on their own predisposition.., just like handwriting, we can write the same words, but each of us have different style/character. Also, just like you would describe a forest, if you want to describe each individual pine tree, you will give the exact same description, to each one separately. But in reality there are no two identical trees on our planet.</p><p class="ql-block">That’s also the beauty of the Traditional Martial Arts. </p><p class="ql-block">Of course everyone has to learn the basics and proper foundations, so we can grow deep roots, and be tall, stay strong and be flexible(like the tree) - balance. But also be unique and be yourself, and don’t forget that underground all the roots of the trees are connected together, so we should be on this planet and universe together too. </p><p class="ql-block">We should always be respectful to each other and grow strong together. We learn Martial Arts to challenge our weakness, not others.</p><p class="ql-block">回答來自<span style="font-size:18px;">Narcyz Latecki ：</span></p><p class="ql-block">我的武術(shù)哲學(xué)，根植于作為一個人和一位武者最基本的原則——對“平衡”的責任：身體與心靈的平衡。</p><p class="ql-block">我相信，一切事物都可以從不同的角度被理解，因此我們應(yīng)當尊重各種不同的觀點。</p><p class="ql-block">從一個西方化的角度來看，英語中的“Martial”（武術(shù)）意味著每天都在與自己的弱點搏斗，因為我們總有可以改進的地方。而“Art”（藝術(shù)）則代表你獨特的表達方式。</p><p class="ql-block">作為老師，我會根據(jù)每個學(xué)生的天賦和特質(zhì)，幫助他們發(fā)現(xiàn)并發(fā)展屬于自己的才能。就像筆跡一樣，我們可以寫下相同的詞語，但每個人的風格和個性都不同。</p><p class="ql-block">又好比描述一片森林，如果你試圖去描述每一棵松樹，可能會用同樣的語言來描述它們，但現(xiàn)實中，這個星球上沒有兩棵完全相同的樹。</p><p class="ql-block">這正是傳統(tǒng)武術(shù)之美所在。</p><p class="ql-block">當然，每個人都必須學(xué)習基礎(chǔ)和扎實的根基，這樣我們才能像樹一樣扎根深厚，挺拔堅韌，同時保持柔韌和平衡。但同時，我們也要保持獨特，做自己。</p><p class="ql-block">別忘了，地底下，所有樹的根都是相連的。我們也一樣，活在這個星球與宇宙中，應(yīng)該彼此連接、共存。</p><p class="ql-block">我們應(yīng)始終彼此尊重、共同成長。</p><p class="ql-block">學(xué)習武術(shù)，是為了挑戰(zhàn)自己的弱點，而不是挑戰(zhàn)他人。</p> <p class="ql-block">Narcyz Latecki 的真誠與哲學(xué)觀深深打動了我。他所說的內(nèi)容早已超越了武術(shù)本身，更觸及了作為“人”的深層意義。他談到的“平衡”、“個體性”與“彼此尊重”，讓我產(chǎn)生了極大的共鳴。這種思想并不常見——不僅在傳授身體的技藝，更是在傳遞一種關(guān)于自我覺察、共情與內(nèi)在成長的生活方式。</p><p class="ql-block">他用“樹”的比喻尤其讓我感動——每棵樹都是獨特的，但在地下，它們的根又彼此相連。這讓我想到，我們每個人雖然獨一無二，但也都屬于更廣闊的整體。而武術(shù)的本質(zhì)，并不是擊敗他人，而是一起成為更好的自己。</p><p class="ql-block">Narcyz 的哲學(xué)— 武術(shù)即道，不只是如何訓(xùn)練身體，更是如何謙遜地生活、清晰地思考，以及更有慈悲地面對他人和自己。</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">I’m truly moved by Narcyz Latecki’s sincerity and philosophical perspective. His words go far beyond martial arts—they touch something much deeper about being human. The way he speaks about balance, individuality, and mutual respect resonates profoundly with me. It’s rare to encounter someone who not only teaches physical discipline but also embodies a way of thinking that encourages self-awareness, empathy, and inner growth.</p><p class="ql-block">His analogy of trees—how each one is unique yet connected underground—was especially beautiful. It reminds me that we’re all part of something greater, and that the essence of martial arts isn’t about competition, but about becoming better versions of ourselves, together.</p><p class="ql-block">Narcyz’s philosophy—that martial arts is the Way—is not only about how we train the body, but also about how we live with humility, think with clarity, and treat others and ourselves with compassion.</p> 大石桥市|
