Looking at the martial arts masters and masters in the history of traditional martial arts in the mainland, the number of them can be said to be as numerous as the carp that crossed the river. Especially during the Qing Dynasty, the development of traditional martial arts was extremely rapid, and many martial arts masters with superb skills also emerged.
Traditional martial arts
And today Xiaobian wants to talk to you about this Mr. Liu Guanlan, he is a traditional martial arts master during the Qing Dynasty. So what about Mr. Liu Guanlan's kung fu achievements? In other words, how high is his kung fu attainment? Next, Xiaobian will give you a careful analysis.
First of all, from Liu Guanlan's resume of learning martial arts.
Mr. Liu Guanlan was born in 1820 in a martial arts family in Zhao Forge Village, Li County, Hebei Province, so he began to practice martial arts with his father from an early age.
Subsequently, in 1828 (that is, the eighth year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty), Liu Guanlan successively studied martial arts with Mr. Feng Keshan, Mr. Yang Jing and Mr. Tang Youyi, and mastered martial arts techniques such as poking feet, lying on the ground and tai chi thirteen shapes, and eventually became a generation of great martial arts masters.
Secondly, from the perspective of Liu Guanlan's martial arts career.
Mr. Liu Guanlan's kung fu is a light and fast path, his leg technique is known for its flexibility, his legs are like arms and the legs are like shuttles, especially the "kicks" of the holes are even more unique. In addition, Mr. Liu Guanlan also has an excellent light skill, which is also the key to his fame in the Martial Arts of the Qing Dynasty.
Ground punch
Liu Guanlan has always been extremely hard working during his martial arts studies with all his mentors, and he always strives to be the best no matter which martial art he practices. For example, when Liu Guanlan practiced boxing on the wall, he practiced this martial art to the point of falling and tumbling as if he were on the flat ground; when Liu Guanlan practiced "wind swing lotus leaf feet" on a big cart, the whole person was brisk and agile like an ape; when Liu Guanlan practiced "wearing under the stool", he could use the golden rooster to be independent of the side of the stool, and performed the "servant step through the palm" to shuttle under the stool without rubbing the stool, and its speed was no different from the shuttle on the loom.
In addition, Liu Guanlan often put the finger-thick wicker into the ground to practice the kung fu of "fluttering willow", and after his body shape threw the wicker down, the whole person would jump up with the help of the rebound force of the wicker.
Light work
The whole practice process of "fluttering willows" is like the wind swinging willows, and It is precisely because of such harsh and hard training that Mr. Liu Guanlan has trained his light skills to the realm of leaping like a spirit ape climbing branches, and at the same time jumping the ridge like walking on the ground (Mr. Liu Guanlan's reputations such as "racing time shift" and "divine leg racing live monkey" are derived from this).
In 1838 (that is, the eighteenth year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty), Mr. Liu Guanlan began to break into the rivers and lakes according to the orders of his mentor, and his practical deeds such as "palming the playboy" in the west of Beijing and "pointing the iron head monk with his feet" in the ring were spread throughout the Beijing Division at that time.
Subsequently, Mr. Liu Guanlan, who broke through, was not only hired as a martial arts teacher in Miyun County, but also founded the "Fuyuan Dart Bureau" in the Beijing Division. Later, Mr. Liu Guanlan successively traveled to many provinces such as Northeast China, Shanxi, Shandong and Henan, and visited martial arts masters from all over the world to practice their martial arts. Until 1910, Mr. Liu Guanlan unfortunately passed away.
Finally, on the topic of Mr. Liu Guanlan's traditional martial arts and kung fu skills, we will talk about it here for the time being today. I don't know if everyone has any different views on whether traditional Chinese martial arts can withstand the test of actual combat, and what are the different opinions?
