When it comes to the simple and unpretentious movements and extremely strong and fierce characteristics of these 2 major boxing styles, I believe that many friends will definitely think of the traditional martial arts fist of the short-strike type of eight pole boxing for the first time. Because the eight pole fist is at the heel, then the force is spread at the waist, and it is poured out through the fingertips. So that the explosive power of this punch is not only very large, but also very characteristic of actual combat techniques.
Li Dazhong
Take this Mr. Li Dazhong, who xiaobian wants to talk to you about today, he is the 3rd generation of famous masters in the eight pole boxing. So what about Mr. Li Dazhong's actual combat kung fu? In other words, how strong is his actual combat ability? Next, Xiaobian will give you a careful analysis.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" > First of all, from Li Dazhong's resume of learning martial arts. </h1>
Mr. Li Dazhong was born in 1810 (that is, the fifteenth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty) in Luoxuan Village (now Mengcun Hui Autonomous County, Hebei) in Cangxian County, Hebei Province, and he had been practicing family martial arts in his early years, and at the age of 30, he had prepared eight-color heavy gifts to teach under Ding Xiaowu and Wu Rong of Mengcun.
Ding Xiaowu
Since then, Li Dazhong has assiduously practiced the Eight Pole Quan Technique under the guidance of Ding and Wu' two mentors, and has fully inherited the Eight Pole Techniques taught by the two mentors (his kung fu can be described as both guns and fists) with his unremitting persistence in practicing for many years.

It is worth mentioning that Mr. Li Dazhong also integrated the Eight Pole Boxing Technique with his own close-fitting skills in the process of learning the art. In this way, Li Dazhong's martial arts not only reached the realm of divine skill, but he himself also became a master in the entire history of the development of eight pole quan.

After Mr. Li Dazhong's skills were completed, he followed the example of Wu Zhongzushi of the Eight Pole Boxing Gate and began to wander around, and verified what he learned by visiting masters from all over the world to practice martial arts. As a result, Li Dazhong soon became famous with his world-renowned eight-pole boxing and big gun skills, and he himself became another eight-pole gate person after Wu Zhongzushi who enjoyed the reputation of "Li Dazhong, the big gun from Nanjing to Beijing".
Zhang Zhiwan
Subsequently, Mr. Li Dazhong began to teach art in nanpi zhuangyuan under the employment of Zhang Zhiwan of Nanpi Zhuangyuan Province. It is reported that Zhang Zhiwan also specially built a treasure knife to give to Mr. Li Dazhong (the knife has the words "Li Family Grass House" on it, and this knife still exists in the world).
Zhang Zhidong
It is said that Zhang Zhiwan also hired a martial artist to enter the palace after that, but the martial master was single-handedly taken down by Mr. Li Dazhong in the competition. Afterwards, Zhang Zhiwan apologized and sent a manor to Mr. Li Dazhong, but he insisted on refusing to accept it. In addition, Mr. Li Dazhong has also tried to keep Zhang Zhidong safe in dangerous situations several times, and the legendary anecdotes of his life are not uncommon in major martial arts magazines (Xiaobian will not dwell on it here).
Zhang Keming
In 1847, Mr. Li Dazhong began to formally set up a field to pass on the art, and opened the Luo Yan Eight Pole Series. Mr. Li Dazhong not only sublimated the Mengcun "old shelf" Eight Pole Quan, but also worked with Mr. Zhang Keming to improve the Liuhe Big Gun Technique (this is the second leap in the history of inheritance and development of The Eight Pole Quan).
In 1873, when Li Dazhong was ill, he also had a contest with a monk from the Shaolin Temple, and it is said that the two had been inseparable in the course of fighting. It was not until Mr. Li Dazhong mistakenly injured the monk with a move of "loach flipping flowers" that he won or lost, but his old man had always regretted this matter. In 1874 (that is, the thirteenth year of Tongzhi), Mr. Li Dazhong unfortunately passed away (at the age of 64).
Finally, regarding the actual combat topic of Mr. Li Dazhong's eight-pole martial arts, we will talk about it here for the time being today. I don't know what other different opinions everyone has about whether the Eight Pole Boxing Technique can withstand the test of actual combat? Feel free to leave your own views and opinions below.
