Shi Dakai is one of the most legendary figures in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, at the age of 16, he was interviewed out of the mountains, at the age of 19 he could command thousands of troops and horses, at the age of 20 he was named the King of Wings, at the age of 32 he was heroic and righteous in Chengdu, his life can be described as vigorous, sympathetic to the people's livelihood and suffering, his deeds are widely praised by posterity, is a relatively perfect image, in fact, he is also a martial arts master, but because of the Suppression of its history by the Qing Dynasty, this view has not been written into history, in fact, Shi Dakai also has a high attainment in martial arts.
According to the "Qing Barnyard Banknotes" and the "History of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom", Shi Dakai's boxing skills were "high in bow and arrow suits, low in hanging lion suits, and nine sides to meet the enemy." In every duel, standing in front of the enemy, the five fingers are drawn, and his eyes are covered, that is, he jumps a hundred steps away, and the enemy heels to the enemy, and quickly kicks his abdomen and navel. If the enemy is strong, then the number of rings kicked, the enemy flew up with his feet, fell out of the number of zhang, and even fell out of the dozens of zhang, known as the serial mandarin duck step", this martial art in the folk is called "poking foot fist", legend shi Dakai often taught his martial arts to the selected soldiers, used in combat, so the troops led by Shi Dakai fought extremely heroically.
Among them, the story of Shi Dakai and Chen Bangsen's competition is even more widely circulated, it is said that at that time, the two men met to hit each other three times, the recipient was not allowed to fight back, Chen Bangsen punched Shi Dakai, Shi Dakai did not need to dodge, after three punches, Shi Dakai had no different color, Shi Dakai fought back against Chen Bangsen, Chen Bangsen knew that he was invincible, sideways to dodge, and the result was that the stele cracked into several segments, which shows the height of Shi Dakai's kung fu.
This kind of kung fu rises to the power of the body, the power we usually emit is the strength of the body, but the people who practice martial arts send out the power, the power of the power is huge, often can hurt people in an instant, if Chen Bangsen received Shi Dakai's three fists, presumably he will be seriously injured, Chen Bangsen knows that he is invincible, so he dodged, which is a wise move.
So what kind of kung fu is poking the foot punch?
Poke foot fist is actually one of the Chinese boxing skills, mainly leg and foot kung fu, according to legend, the earliest from the Song Dynasty, flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Chinese folklore in the Time when Wu Song drunkenly beat Jiang Menshen, it is the use of poke foot fist in the jade ring step, Mandarin duck foot, so this is also a very strong boxing.
In fact, actual combat can know the truth, Shi Dakai on the battlefield is the real heroism, he led the Daping Army and the Qing army to fight hard for many years, his strength is recognized, many times in the time of danger, stepped forward, killed the Qing soldiers, but the hero is often tragic, and finally Shi Dakai defeated the Dadu River, before dying is also very calm to die, was executed by Ling Chi did not frown a little eyebrows, so that everyone present was moved.
This is the image of a hero, who would rather die standing than live on his knees.
