Defending the tradition

(BQ) Tài liệu Ancient Greeks - Creating the classical tradition chronicles the lives and accomplishments of Greek figures whose influence continues to be felt today. We read about Greeks from all walks of life, including one of the greatest physicians who ever lived, the father of logic, and a brilliant mathematician who once said, Give me a lever long enough, and a fulcrum strong enough, and I will single-handedly move the world. And move the world he did, but with his ideas, not a mighty fulcrum.

The EU’s common purpose was principally economic and le- gal, but despite its economic strength, the EU is weak both as a political and as a military entity. People in the European Union take for granted personal, economic and social liber- ties, such as the freedom of movement.

"Wing Chun" is a subtle and complete system of Chinese Kung Fu. Developed over hundreds of years, its roots lie in the Shaolin Temple tradition. Legend has it that in 1645 a Buddhist nun by the name of Ng Moi devised the system and taught it to a young girl called Yim Wing Chun, who successfully used her newly learned skills to defend herself against a local bully who attempted to force himself upon her. Originally a very secret system, the sophisticated art of Wing Chun was only passed on to family members and close, trusted friends.
