Best Answer

Wu Wei Gung Fu is a system of Martial Arts founded by Jo-Si Joseph Cowles. He was a student of Bruce Lee in Seattle, Wa. He met Bruce and studied Jun Fan Gung Fu (Jun Fan Lee was Bruc's Chinese name). "Gung Fu" is Cantonese for Mandrian "Kung Fu". Wu Wei or mo Wai means "Spontaneous Action". Now if you go to YouTube you can see more of it by typing in "wu wei gung fu".

Professor Cowles lives in the State of Washington and is retired from martial arts instruction. He passed on the system to Israeli citizen- Eyal Koren. Others such as Mike Henry, Kevin Capps, Joe Purcell, George Brock, and others presently promote the art of Wu Wei Gung Fu. In a way it is an eclectic blend of arts (Jun Fan, Modified Wing Chun, Aiki Jutsu, etc.) based on efficiency and sound combat tactics.

Who ruled the Three Kingdoms?

Well there were three kingdoms as you know were Wei to the north. Wu to the east. and Shu to the west. the leaders who laid the foundations were Wei: Cao Cao Wu: Sun Jian, and later Sun Ce Shu: Liu Bei and the First emperors were: Wei: Cao Pi (or perhaps Cao Cao but it was said that he laid the foundation) Wu: Sun Quan Shu: Liu Bei and the leaders who were there when the kingdoms fell Shu: Liu Chan Wei: Cao Huan Wu: Sun Hao and the people who won were the generations of the Former Wei General:Sima Yi. whos sons founded the Jin Dynasty which later unified China. Hope that helped :)

What does the Dao concept of Wu-wei mean?

The concept of Wu-Wei/Mo Wai in the Dao/Tao is comparable to how Nature produces Causality without intention or effort such as a dissipative system found inherit in sodium chloride crystals (aka table salt). When you pour salt upon a flat surface within one spot it will pile up and form a conical shaped pile. This is due to the shape of the crystals and how they tend to link up and form this shape. Another idea is likened to trying to control natural systemic effects in the body such as breathing by thinking about it. More than likely you will mess it up and more importantly (unless you are hyperventilating) there is no need to control it consciously. In Taoist influenced Kung Fu systems the idea is that once you develop technical skill and it is trained well enough you need not think about it when fighting as it springs up "in and of itself". Just like Bruce Lee said "I do not hit, IT hits all by itself". Wu-Wei is like unhindered nature...it has been interpreted as "the non-ado", "in and of itself so", "spontaneous action". I hope this helps.
