Ma's Tongbei Martial Arts (also known as Ma's Tongbei Martial Arts System) is a martial art category that has gradually developed with eclecticism as the core theme in the history of traditional martial arts in mainland China for nearly a hundred years. Its historical origin can be traced back to the last years of the Qing Dynasty, until the modern historical period was more systematically inherited and sorted out by Mr. Ma Fengtu, which determined the core concept of martial arts of Ma's tongbei martial arts, which is so-called "theosophical attainment", "bei wanguanyi", "rational image will be passed", and "body and use are ready", and constantly outlined and cast it, thus forming a relatively complete martial arts system in theory and technology.
Ma Xianda
And today Xiaobian wants to talk to you about this Mr. Ma Xianda, he is the head of the famous martial arts school in the mainland, Ma Shi Tongbei Martial Arts. So what about Mr. Ma Xianda's actual combat kung fu? In other words, how high is his actual combat ability? Next, Xiaobian will give you a careful analysis.
First of all, from Ma Xianda's resume of learning martial arts.
Born in 1932 in Cangzhou, Hebei Province, Mr. Ma Xianda grew up in a martial arts family and began to learn martial arts from his father, Mr. Ma Fengtu (a famous artist of Tongbei Split Hanging Boxing in Cangzhou, Hebei Province), and was deeply taught and influenced by his second uncle, Mr. Ma Yingtu (a famous master of Tongbei Splitting Hanging Boxing in Cangzhou, Hebei).

Therefore, Ma Xianda can be said to have done the true transmission of Ma's kung fu skills, he is not only proficient in Kung Fu such as Tongbei Splitting Hanging, Opening the Door Eight Poles, Eight Flashing Flips, Poking Feet, Nine-Character Mantis Hand and Taizu Eight Chopping Hands, but also proficient in many skills such as strange guns, wind grinding stick methods, six-in-one big guns, two-handed swords, Tongbei Seventy-three Swords, Tongbei Robe Sword (that is, Tongbei Small Sword) and Splitting Sword Technique.

Ma Xianda's uncle Luo Wenyuan taught the "Twisted Silk" series and the "Futon" series of sticks without concealment, plus the "Ma Family Whip" he himself studied was also a martial arts masterpiece. In addition, Ma Xianda has also learned boxing, wrestling and fencing, and his kung fu can be called "expo" and "specialization".
Secondly, from the actual case of Ma Xianda.
As early as 1952, Ma Xianda had already won the honor of the Scattered Hands Championship in the first martial arts ring in mainland China. It is reported that Ma Xianda, who was less than 20 years old at the time, successively defeated Mr. Deng Hongzao, a famous artist with a passing arm, and Mr. Li Xuewen, a famous athlete with a poke foot, and became famous in the martial arts arena with a record of total victory and undefeated.
In addition, Ma Xianda also won the chinese short-range martial arts championship and the gold medal for martial arts performances at the same conference.
In 1953, Ma Xianda won the championship of the short-range sports in the north china region of the mainland (including Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi and Inner Mongolia), and won the national short-range fighting event again in the autumn of the same year with a record of not losing a complete victory in one game.
In 1972, Mr. Ma Xianda was invited by the National Sports Commission to officially serve as the chief judge of the National Wushu Competition Conference. Subsequently, Mr. Ma Xianda personally participated in the revision of the 1973 Wushu Competition Rules.
In 1983, Mr. Ma Xianda also served as the chief judge of the National Wushu Performance Observation and National Loose Hand Competition held in Nanchang, as well as the chief judge of the Loose Hand Project (this is the only case in the national competition to double-position).
According to statistics, in the national martial arts competitions held by Mr. Ma Xianda from 1972 to 1984, he has held important positions such as the chief judge, the chief judge or the director of the arbitration commission almost every time. If we talk about seniority, Mr. Ma Xianda is definitely the first batch of national martial arts referees in the mainland.
In 1985, Mr. Ma Xianda went abroad to perform as the deputy head of the "Chinese Martial Arts Delegation", and at that time, the Japanese "Budo" magazine even praised Ma Lao as "the first person in Chinese martial arts now".
In 1998, Mr. Ma Xianda was recognized by the National Wushu Management Center as the highest level of Chinese martial arts. Until 2013, Mr. Ma Xianda died of illness in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province (at the age of 81).

I don't know if everyone has any different views on whether traditional martial arts kung fu can withstand the test of actual combat, and what are the different opinions?
