What is power?
Some people think it is mysterious, some people are confused, and some people are struggling to pursue it.
First of all, the skill is literally explained: one is time, which is slowly consumed by time, obtained from practice, precipitation, and accumulation, and cannot be rushed. One is the transformation of force, the transformation of one's own strength and energy, into softness, solidity, speed, ethereal, and so on.
To put it bluntly, it is the transformation of your own energy, through different forms of release, to achieve different purposes. In the eyes of many people, they think that the power will grow indefinitely, which is the wrong understanding of many people, their own energy stones are limited, and it is impossible to release and increase them indefinitely. It's like a 75-horsepower car, even at the maximum throttle, it can't match the power of a 100-horsepower car. The same 75 hp can be turned into speed or power, that's the law of nature. If you have to break through this law, you will only be hurt if you work too hard and overdraw. There are also people who think that even if their skills do not increase indefinitely, how can they defeat enemies who are stronger than themselves?
This is actually a very simple problem, without the excavation and transformation of skills, without utilitarian training, you will not know how to use your own energy, let alone defeat the enemy, and there are many ways to defeat the enemy, not energy can determine the victory or defeat. That's power.
The role of martial arts is mainly reflected:
1. Hardness, including the two parts of resistance to blows and the destructive power of hitting the enemy, this is very important, and the bigger the resistance to blows, the better, because everyone's endurance is different, don't challenge your own limits and cause damage to yourself. Hitting the opponent without hurting the opponent or making the opponent fearful, giving the opponent the feeling of tickling, or imposing or colliding with the opponent's fists and feet, and fearing the pain of oneself. It's all a gap in skill.
2. Whole, including being impacted or intercepted without dispersing, attacking the opponent without a little scattered. It is easy to loosen when attacked and intercepted by the opponent, especially when it is stable and adjustable, it consumes a lot of its own energy, and also slows down its speed, defense, etc. When attacking the enemy, it is because it is impossible to hit the enemy in one move, or hit the enemy in one step, or fight to dodge, or defend and counterattack, which is very common, and can only be hit when the opportunity is right, and all the actions before the hit should not be scattered.
3. Loose work, including loose, live, many people think that the loose in the static state is good, in fact, it is best to keep loose in the exercise, because it is easy to relax when stationary, the movement is originally moving, it is difficult to achieve a loose state, and even more so in rapid movement, in the rest or exercise to maintain the mentality, nerves, muscles, relaxation can be flexible. The work includes flexible limbs, flexible footwork, flexible consciousness, flexible body method, etc., in order to be flexible.
4. Ethereal spirits, including ethereal spirits and spirits. Emptiness is produced in a state of looseness, it is the domination of one's own consciousness over the limbs, it is the temptation of the other's emptiness, it is the temptation of the enemy, and it is the prelude to the coming storm. The spirit is clever and agile, it is the accuracy and induction of the consciousness to judge things, it is the instinct of the things that come to it, and it is the herald of the consciousness that dominates the limbs.
5. Shen, including Shen, solid, Shen is the gravitational force of natural fall produced by looseness, and it is also the gravitational force of bones relaxed by the muscles obtained through training. Real-time body skeletal cells, nerve cells, muscle cells, through training out of compactness and increased density results. It's a tight, hard merger, but it's flexible.
6. Fast, mainly the reaction of consciousness, eyes, hands, feet, lumbar span, and nerves, one is the moment when you see the problem, the brain responds to the instructions issued after the response, and the parts move quickly at the same time, and the second is the instinctive reaction after the increase in power, which has reached the speed of unexpected, unknown speed, and the eyes are fast mainly in the panic without closing the eyes, seeing the other party's actions and making accurate responses. Quick consciousness is to anticipate and judge the other party's course of action, take early precautions or quickly make judgments and instinctively resolve and instinctively fight back after seeing with your eyes or after your eyes see it. Observe the characteristics and shortcomings of the opponent in real combat in time, and quickly find the right solution. Hand speed means that between movement and stillness, you can follow the instructions given by the brain consciousness to make the instinct to defuse and attack. The same is true of fast feet, fast enough to be undefeated.
7. With, is also a kind of display of skill, I talk about with not the Tai Chi in the first listen and then follow, because the speed of the actual combat is too fast, can not be heard, can only be according to the moment of contact, then change, do not top, do not lose, follow the trend, follow the trend, so with is also a kind of skill.
8. Skillful, on the basis of following, whether it is to use strength, whether it is to fight unification, whether it is to defend the center and use it, whether it is to lure the enemy into depth, etc., are all manifestations of actual combat experience, so it is a very important skill, as the so-called: skill is not skillful, skillful is not skillful.
9. Instinct is the comprehensive application of the above eight basic skills and other techniques and techniques to form an instinctive response, without thinking, or even looking at the form of attack, and responding to the feeling. At the same time, the use of body style, footwork changes, hand defense, instantly use light or dark energy to knock it out, and then remember the process just now.
Skill training methods:
Hardness training method: One is to hit hard objects, such as trees, walls, piles, etc. The other is to hit soft objects, such as sandbags, leather figures, etc. There is also a row beating, such as using small sandbags, bamboo chips, small wooden sticks, etc. There is also a kind of hard object that is to play the activity, just to train the whole strength in the exercise. Be sure to hit all parts of your body.
Training method of rectification: The training of rectification is generally to first pounce on fixed objects and moving objects, and then pay attention to the locking of each joint, the angle and strength of the foot up, the relaxation of the walking process and the change of body style. Regression, upward, downward, turning, and so on.
Loose training method: first from the consciousness of relaxation to muscle relaxation, if it is not good to enter the state, you can practice tightness first, find the tightness of each part can find the looseness of each part. By training the range of motion of the limbs, lumbar straddle, shoulders, and other joints, the degree of flexibility, and the speed of relaxation.
Solid training method: Shen is to find in the loose, in fact, to find in the tight.
Fast training method: the speed of the hand is to drill upward, the first is the flexibility of the arm, and the other is the speed of straight line in and out. The fast group at the foot depends on the training of footwork.
Randomness, skill, and instinct need to be explored, summarized, and found in actual combat in order to be better improved.
Misconceptions of skill training:
Many traditional martial artists often think that the more they practice, the stronger they become, and the endless improvement will be, that they can fight in actual combat only when they have great strength, that they can be undefeated if they have great strength, that they must practice every day or that they will degenerate, that skill represents kung fu, and that they display their skills incorrectly. And so on, we analyze them one by one.
This is because in the early stage, their own energy has not been developed, and they do not know how to use it, through the teacher's guidance, they can use these energies correctly and develop them, and they will feel that they will rise very quickly, and after a year or two, they feel very slow, and then it seems that it will not be long after a long time. There is also the problem that people understand, not that the more they practice, the stronger they are, the more they practice, the more they have purified, or the more they have improved. Of course, maybe that's also called strong. Because in addition to power, purification is also called enhancement. Personally, I think the purification part is the effort.
A few friends gathered together, I wanted to invite two young people to participate in our traditional style of play training, he said I can't do it yet, and when I have a lot of skills, I said that this is not a problem of skills, it is a problem of mentality, you already have a lot of skills, there are some skills that can only be felt in actual combat, and even in practice to explore and purify, a lot of skills can reach the needs of actual combat within a year, as for the purity still needs to be improved in practice. Cowardice is actually a psychological obstacle, love face, fear of being beaten, to put it bluntly, is all kinds of excuses and reasons for not having confidence in one's own skills.
There are also some friends who talk about kung fu that means who has great skills, what can't be pushed, not afraid of fighting, great strength, and so on, which can only show that in a certain aspect the boxer is still powerful, but it can not be used as an overview of kung fu, can not be generalized, these are just a small content of martial arts, and it cannot be judged that the person's kung fu is good. Martial arts is originally a kind of sports skill and art, an early tool for making a living in China, an earlier martial arts culture combined with culture, a common and existing skill in life, and a sport that is not separated from life. Whether it is health preservation or actual combat, we must look at it correctly, don't exaggerate, and don't underestimate it.
Skill does not need to be practiced every day, in the primary stage of daily training should be insisted on, because this is the strengthening stage of the body, and after the skill is put on the body, there is no need to practice hard every day, especially the skills such as casual and skillful skills need to be carefully understood, studied, and searched. It's just that it's impossible to get it by practicing blindly, and you can only realize it in practice.
In the eyes of many people, skill is kung fu, in fact, skill is only the foundation of kung fu, kung fu contains a lot of content, such as skills, philosophical thoughts, teaching system, actual combat methods, etc., many of which are based on skill and integrate other cultures to apply well, in order to say that kung fu is high and low. This is a science and art, not a single material, so having a diverse culture is kung fu.
