During the War of Resistance Against Japan, a Japanese lieutenant named Junichi Inoue found the mantis fist master Cui Shoushan to compete, but Cui Shoushan did not move with him, just took a horse step, Inoue Junichi looked at it, and directly bowed his head and conceded defeat.
Cui Shoushan is a martial arts scholar in china. Most of his ancestors were extremely literate, especially the Ming Dynasty painter Cui Zizhong. His work "Hidden Cloud Map" is still collected by the Palace Museum in Beijing.
When he was a child, Cui Shoushan was influenced by his family and loved to read and write very much. He himself is very intelligent and sharp-toothed, and his family likes him very much. Cui Shoushan's uncle Song Zide is also the number one person in Laiyang County, which can be said to be monstrous. Because he also has an older brother above him, everyone calls him Second Master Song.
Song Zi de Neng Wen Neng Wu, Long Fist and Monkey Fist are quite good, and later befriended Jiang Hualong, a well-known martial artist in Shandong, and learned Mantis Fist with him for two years.
Although the society was not peaceful at that time, Song Zide did not care. After he left the school, he traveled almost all over the country, looking for people to practice martial arts, and his martial arts also made great progress during that time.
Five years later, Song Zide returned to Laiyang, by which time his mantis fist had become more refined. In the process of finding people everywhere to compete, he also learned from the strengths of all the families, and improved Jiang Hualong's boxing technique, and finally wrote the "Mantis Fist Spectrum" with a very complete theoretical system.
Song Zide believes that Chinese has always been looked down upon by foreigners, or because the folk practice of martial arts is not good. In order to reverse this situation, he opened a martial arts hall to recruit disciples. Because he had already made a name for himself in the whole country, he had many apprentices.
There are also some people who have lost at the hands of Song Zide who are not convinced, and after diligent study and hard training, they go to the Song Zide Martial Arts Hall to challenge him, but in the end they all fail. This made Song Zide's reputation even greater, and even many people with art teachers appeared. Song Zide never hid it, as long as he came over, he taught it with all his heart, and under his teaching, a large number of outstanding martial arts figures appeared.
Although Cui Shoushan's parents wanted him to be able to pass the meritorious title, for Cui Shoushan, he preferred Song Zide's martial arts. In his mind, Song Zide was the object of his admiration, and he also developed a great interest in martial arts.
Song Zide discovered that Cui Shoushan was a natural martial arts wizard, according to today's words, bone surprise. Coupled with Cui Shoushan's cleverness and sweet words, he was deeply loved by Song Zide, so he took him to his martial arts hall to teach him to learn.
Unlike ordinary shi brothers, Cui Shoushan is not only smart, but also very hard at studying. Although he started relatively late, but the progress is the fastest one, Song Zide often found that Cui Shoushan got up before dawn to practice, coupled with Song Zide's continuous opening of small stoves, Cui Shoushan quickly became the first of Song Zide's eight disciples.
Song Zide was very fond of finding people to compete with, and every time he went out, he took Cui Shoushan with him, and Cui Shoushan also gained a lot of valuable practical experience, and also got the guidance of many masters of other sects, so his martial arts became more and more exquisite.
More than ten years have passed, and Song Zide believes that Cui Shoushan should leave himself to see a broader world. He called Cui Shoushan to his side, gave him a sword engraved with his name, and told him: You can take this sword all over the world to visit the martial forest, hoping that you can carry forward the mantis fist and make Chinese no longer weak.
Cui Shoushan bid farewell to Song Zide, and his father gave him 200 oceans to support him to travel around the country. He found a large number of martial arts masters, and by asking them for advice and advice, Cui Shoushan further perfected the Mantis Fist. Coupled with his strong practical combat experience, he gradually formed his own style and became a well-known figure in the martial arts world.
In 1928, the Nationalist government called on people to strengthen their bodies, and a large number of martial arts halls appeared throughout the country. In 1933, there were more than 600 martial arts halls in the country. Cui Shoushan was also eager to try, and after obtaining the consent of the Shandong Wushu Gym, he returned to Laiyang to establish the Laiyang Guoshu Hall and began to open the door to receive apprentices.
Cui Shoushan's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and many foreigners have gone to Cui Shoushan's martial arts hall to study. Later, he let his apprentices open branches in Yantai Jiaodong and other places, and founded the Shandong Provincial Martial Arts Tournament in accordance with the rules of the Central Guoshu Hall, almost becoming the leader of Shandong Wulin.
After the July 7 Incident, Cui Shoushan gathered his disciples and said: Now that the country is in danger, those of us who practice martial arts should stand up and do our part for the country. He asked his disciples to sign up for the army against the Japanese. With his encouragement, more than five hundred apprentices entered the army. They used their superiority in martial arts to set up a large knife team and made great contributions to the neutrality of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
In 1943, Zhao Baoyuan, the commander of the former Major General of the Kuomintang 12th Division, defected to the Japanese Kou. He heard that Cui Shoushan's martial arts were extremely high, and he hoped that he would come over and help him train his troops. But Cui Shoushan looked down on this traitor and directly refused Zhao Baoyuan's invitation.
However, at that time, Cui Shoushan was not very comfortable, and it was not easy to do anything in the wartime, and many apprentices left the martial arts hall to make a living for themselves. He also lost his main source of income, and his life was too tight, so he had no choice but to go to Yantai to reopen the martial arts center.
At this time, he was noticed by a Japanese lieutenant named Junichi Inoue, who was himself a judo master and liked to meet friends in Japan. He heard that Cui Shoushan's mantis fist was very good, so he gleefully found Cui Shoushan and hoped to compete with him in martial arts.
At that time, the Japanese had occupied the whole of Yantai, and Cui Shoushan was worried that if he and Junichi Inoue competed, if they accidentally injured him, they would have endless troubles. So he suggested: He set his foot there, and if Junichi Inoue could push him down, he would concede defeat.
After Choi Shou-san was ready, Junichi Inoue directly made a routine movement in judo, wrapping his arms around his waist and trying to move him to the ground, but Choi Shou-san did not move at all. Junichi Inoue used the strength to suckle, and he was exhausted and panting. At this time, he found that the gap between himself and Cui Shoushan was too big.
Junichi Inoue obeyed, directly surrendered his hand, and made a request to Cui Shoushan, hoping that he could go to his unit to teach the soldiers martial arts, but Cui Shoushan could be a traitor and politely refused the japanese lieutenant's request.
Later, a friend inexplicably asked: You were going to be unable to eat at that time, and it was hard for a Japanese person to worship you as a teacher. Even if you teach them two tricks at random, at least it can relieve your financial pressure, why don't you do it? Cui Shoushan said: Even if I teach him a trick, I am still a traitor, and I will not be a traitor in my life.
After the outbreak of the civil war, Xu Shiyou set up the headquarters of the Jiaodong Military Region in Laiyang Wugezhuang. Xu Shiyou had studied Shaolin Kung Fu before and had a good foundation in martial arts, so no matter where he went, he wanted to have a good competition with a well-known martial arts master.
Of course, Xu Shiyou had heard of Cui Shoushan's great name, so he asked cui Shoushan to give martial arts instruction to the warriors. Cui Shoushan listened and was very happy to agree. He not only actively taught the People's Liberation Army mantis fist, but even personally participated in the battle, making a lot of contributions to the cause of national liberation.
Cui Shoushan has taught countless apprentices in his life, and unlike some martial arts masters, who are taught by other apprentices, he always does it himself. He believed that since he had received money from others, he must teach them true kung fu without reservation, which was the duty of opening a martial arts hall.
Following Cui Shoushan to learn martial arts is not only some strong people, but also some people because of their extremely poor physical conditions, hoping to change their physique by learning martial arts. For these people's plans, Cui Shoushan can also be taught according to their aptitudes, and indeed let these people recover their health through exercise, and even have a certain martial arts foundation.
Cui Shoushan is a patriotic martial artist in modern China, and under his influence, his disciples have a strong patriotic spirit. The most well-known are Cui Hongzhao, Zhang Xiangting and others. After they left Cui Shoushan, they all collected disciples and cultivated a large number of mantis fist masters.
Cui Shoushan died in 1969 at the age of 79. But Mantis Fist has been carried forward in Shandong, especially in jiaodong. Before learning mantis fist, everyone must learn long fist, check fist, shape meaning fist and other routines.
Now it has been more than half a century since Cui Shoushan's death, and after these times of development, the disciples of Mantis Fist have spread throughout Shandong and have a strong influence in the whole country. This fiery scene can also comfort his spirit in heaven.
