The actual combat training of the ancient transmission of yi quan
Recently. After being introduced by a friend, I met Mr. Cui Jieli, a descendant of the Hebei School of Shape-Yi Fist Li Zhenbang," and the first exchange quickly cut to the theme, talking about the training procedures of Shape-Intention Boxing, asking for advice from him, and asking: "If a person who has no foundation learns boxing from Mr. Xiang, what should be the first step to practice?"
Answer: "Shake hands, wear palms, footwork." I was taken aback and asked, "What, didn't you start with the three-body style?"
Answer: "The three-body style belongs to advanced kung fu, and it cannot be taught casually to beginners!" I was surprised and asked again: "Are you also fighting in actual combat first, and then practicing three talents and five elements?"
This time, Mr. Cui was surprised and quickly asked back: "What is 'also'?" Are there others who practice like this?"
Yes, there are other forms of intentional boxing that are also practiced after fighting first. As far as the Shape And Meaning Fist that I learned is concerned, in my hometown of Qiqihar City alone, there are two Shape Andi Fists that I have come into contact with, namely Li Cunyi's disciple, the predecessor of Li Xingjie in the Dingxing Three Lis, and zhu Dian Shenyi who is married to Jinlan in the same village, and the old Zhu Family Shape Yi Fist who exchanged shape and meaning fist with Zhu Dianshen (learning the zhu family's medical skills) was later brought to Qiqihar by the Zhu family: the other is a farmer living in Shangzhi City, Heilongjiang Province
The late hermit taught Guo Yunshen's Shape Intention Fist. The common feature of these two systems is also different from the shape and intention fist that circulates in society. That is, before teaching the three-body style and the five-element boxing, there is a pre-training period of three months to half a year or so. And in this stage of training, actual combat is a major and core content.
Almost all people who practice martial arts have heard that "Tai Chi does not go out for ten years, and the shape means to kill people in a year", and some people are said to kill people in half a year. But the elderly Li Zhongxuan, the predecessor of the Shape Intention Fist, said in his article that the Shape Intention is also a fist that has not been out of the house for ten years, why? Everyone thinks that the shape of the fist into the ̈ is a three-body style, a five-element fist, but how many years does the three-body style have to stand? How many years does it take to practice Wuxingquan? For the master who taught me Guo Yunshen's shape and intention boxing, he was a master before learning shape and intention boxing with his master, and he first stood on the lower pile for eight months with his master, and then taught him to stand in the three-body style, and when practicing five elements boxing, he practiced a starting action for a year and a half. Eagle catching practice for seven months, after which each line of the Five Elements Quan practiced for more than three months, the slowest twelve forms of the first form for half a month, and the fastest for three days. My master still has a foundation, if people without a foundation practice one of the five elements of the boxing, how to have a preliminary level of a year and a half, want to actually fight, under normal circumstances, how the master has to arrange a year and a half to arrange actual combat, if a year and a half ago to arrange actual combat, can only say that the master is not very responsible. Speaking of this, we must ask a question, the Five Elements Fist takes one and a half to three years to initially succeed, so how can it be said that it is one year or half a year to kill people?
There is a public case in Zen Buddhism: when a person kneels down to a Zen master and asks the Zen master to teach him the "Method of Liberation," the Zen master asks, "Who binds you?" So the Seeker of the Dharma attained enlightenment. From the perspective of actual combat, the training program of the current popular shape and intention boxing starts from the three-body style, then the five elements, then the twelve shapes, then the four, the twelve Hongquan and so on, we look at this program,
Its core is clear, that is, to practice a kind of structural force, which is also the so-called overall force of ordinary people. The three-body style is a static structural mode, while the five elements are dynamic structural movement modes, combined with the training of twelve shapes, four hands, etc., its vein is clear, from the whole to the living, from the practice to the use of a complete training system, is very scientific. However, when we look at such a training system from the perspective of actual combat, it is clear that it is a system that first ties up oneself, and then goes around asking for people and seeking the way to liberation. I boldly say that this kind of training is not a training system of actual combat form and fist.
In fact, there is a boxer in the Chinese martial arts circle, and his founding master once wanted to travel the world, challenge foreign fists, and promote the prestige of our country, so he concentrated several disciples for closed training, but unfortunately he was forced to stop due to the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Since then, the second-generation masters of this fist have been far-sighted, and in the 1970s, they have cultivated a group of practical combat masters in an almost crash course, and to this day. These masters play a mainstay role in both official and non-governmental, so what is the situation of these two trainings? Its first generation of masters were all masters of actual combat, so the training at that time was first to conduct a high-intensity actual battle for about three months (moderate combination of some Western-style training in actual combat, which strengthened speed and physical fitness), and then conducted high-intensity pile gong training for disciples for more than half a year. Most of the objects trained by the second-generation masters are foundationless, so compared with the first generation of masters, the training has one more step to find strength and touch strength, but it only takes about ten days, and then it is still about three months of actual combat training, and finally about half a year of pile technique training. After the training, some people enter the room to study in depth, and its content is still the cycle of actual combat and skill cultivation, and everyone should pay attention to the fact that in the cycle of actual combat and skill, there is always a real battle and then practice, and many students of that year only learn
After about ten months of the first cycle, almost thirty years later, the actual combat ability is still amazingly strong.
In 1999, when I first came into contact with Shape Yi Quan, I was mainly practicing Sanda at the local martial arts gym, and I was training with a disciple, Hailong. Hailong's father learned martial arts from the local shape and intention boxing master when he was a teenager, but began to learn not the three-body style and the five-element fist, but at the same time as the waist and leg exercise training, the master selected several styles from the Bagua and shape-meaning fists, as a loose hand, and directly led the students to fight in real combat. When he was studying martial arts for about four months, due to a dispute with his classmates, he was blocked in the alley in front of his home with eight social idlers by his classmates, and after only two or three minutes of fighting, he beat six people and knocked down three people, one of whom was seriously injured. After six months of this, the master officially opened the door to teach the three-body style and the five-element fist. Sea Dragon's father, on the other hand, was considered aggressive and was turned away by his master. So much training. It is not too much to say that the form means to kill people for half a year.
In the Guo Yunshen form-meaning kung fu system I studied, kung fu is roughly divided into seven steps:
Step 1: Infinity, Eight Hands.
Step 2: Wear the Ninth House and drop plum blossoms.
Step 3: Three talents, tight secrets.
Step 4: School Twenty-Four Laws.
Step 5: Five Elements Fist Two or Three Levels Practice, Fixing Steps, Following Steps, and Walking Steps. Step 6: Twelve Lines, Leg Method.
Step 7: Routine.
As you can see, the difference between this training system and the popular shape-meaning boxing training system is mainly reflected in the first two steps.
Generally speaking, people generally believe that the human hand kung fu of Shape-Yi-Fist is a three-body style, and through seven years of searching for teachers and visiting the Tao, studying practice, I found that the training of Shape-Intention Boxing that starts with the l-one style is not suitable for everyone. Examples include juveniles and children under the age of sixteen. If the three-body formula is strictly required, then the components of the muscle and bone training contained in the three-body style will have a considerable impact on its development, and most of them are negative. In recent years, the martial arts community, due to the influence of martial arts systems such as Dacheng Quan and Lu Shi Structure, many friends who understand martial arts from martial arts magazines have an illusion, it seems that standing pile is the main body of martial arts skill training, as far as I am concerned, I do not deny that standing pile gong is a good thing, but there is a question to be raised for everyone to think about together, why is it that in the era of secret transmission, shape and meaning fist will produce so many dazzling masters like stars? And today, with the popularization of standing pile gong, it is difficult for the martial arts community to even find a combat master who can go to the ring?
The reason is very simple, the practice of standing pile, most of which belong to the middle and high-level things, is to give the masters to practice, in the static to deepen their understanding of the connotation of martial arts, and for the average beginner, they do not understand what they should recognize, they naively think that as long as they insist on hard training, they will produce power, the skill is deep, and what is practiced takes advantage of everything.
But is this notion correct?
Here, I would like to ask the relevant experts a question: If I want to kill a person with my bare hands, how much strength do I need? Recently a friend has been asking me for advice, repeatedly asked, are related to the skill training such as standing pile, shaking the big pole, rubbing the ball and other training, in fact, for the general martial arts enthusiasts without a master, they attach the most importance to these so-called skills, but we defend ourselves, and even hit people, killing people How much power do we need? In my impression, during the Sanda King Competition a few years ago, when a reporter interviewed the leaders of the relevant management departments, he talked about some data, saying that some weak points of the human body only need a few kilograms of force to cause death; the latter article of the predecessor of the Shape Intention Fist said that only 70 kilograms of strength in the human chest is enough to be deadly (here, I asked for authoritative data). So let me ask you, don't you even have 70 kilograms of strength in your body? I can tell you with certainty that british scientists in the 70s of the last century have tested human muscle strength and concluded that when people walk normally, the total strength of people's calf muscles is four times that of human weight, the sum of the strength produced by the thigh muscles is six times that of weight, and the strength produced by gluteal major muscles is more than 1300 pounds, that is to say, a person with a hundred pounds of weight should be said to be very thin, when he walks normally, the strength of only his legs can reach a thousand pounds, but can he send out 70 kilograms of strength to beat people to death?
The answer is yes, no.
Why?
Because hitting people and walking are not a force, then you want to practice the kung fu of beating people, but go
Is it right to practice walking? Isn't that the opposite?
Therefore, we practice all the internal kung fu, the first problem we face, is not to practice what work, what force, but to change strength, change a way of force, change a habit of force, in the shape of the fist, there are three layers of kung fu said, that is, bright strength, dark strength, chemical strength, for this theory, I asked a lot of people, really want to ask the real question almost no one dares to answer this three-layer kung fu to say whether it is Guo Yunshen himself proposed, but everyone recognizes that the so-called Ming Jin, is not the masculine strength that the general enthusiast thinks, It refers to a process of a person from the ignorance of the beginner to the understanding of strength through cultivation, just as Bruce Lee said, the first time to learn martial arts, a punch is a punch, a kick is a kick, in-depth study, only to know that a punch is not only a punch, a kick is not just a kick. And the best way to train this strength change is actually not the three-body style, but the infinity type. The cultivation of Wuji is not about increasing internal strength, strengthening muscles and bones, or otherwise, but changing strength. It allows people to achieve the distinction between reality and fiction in various parts of the body in a short period of time. You know, what does the three-body three-body mean? In fact, the two-body theory, also known as the three-section theory, the three-talent theory, it is the most important and fundamental theory of the shape and intention of the fist, which is simply to divide the whole body of the person into three large parts, and each part is divided into three parts, so as to pursue the best cooperation between the part and the part, and to obtain the overall effect. But the problem of ordinary people is that their bodies are not relaxed enough, and there is no distinction between virtual and real, so no matter what they practice, they only have one form and cannot achieve the best cooperation relationship. Standing directly on the three-body style is actually not impossible, but you have to stand very passed, very relaxed, in order to understand the actual connotation of the three-body style. However, the three-body style is a difficult pile for ordinary people to stand on, and it is estimated that it will take half a year to stand without nervousness. And the result of the unclear connotation of the three-body style will be straight
It then affects the training of the Five Elements Fist. Therefore, in our case, it is such a training subject from the infinite to the three talents and then the five elements.
At the beginning of Wuji's cultivation, we also had the training of the Eight Absolute Hands, what is this Eight Absolute Hands? According to my master, the first eight hands are the action of warming up, but in practice, people have found that there are actually some technical connotations in the action of warming up, so there are eight hands. Practicing the eight absolute hands, and not practicing is very different, the average person if the lack of physical exercise, the body is basically inflexible, even if the regular exercise, flexible body people, in the change of inner family boxing, it also takes a long time to adapt to the inner family boxing mode of movement. The meaning of the Eight Absolute Hands is to bring the body alive, exercise people's offensive consciousness, and practice some of the rules needed for the actual battle of shape and intention to form an instinct. At the same time, it is also possible to distinguish between the virtual and the real, transform the strength of the actual combat technique, and focus the strength on the knot. Wuji with eight absolute hands, in ten days and a half months, the fist strength can already cause people to be unconscious, generally with people to break hands to preemptively attack, if the opponent does not understand the internal combat kung fu, you can hammer the final sound.
The second step of the nine palaces to wear, fall plum blossoms, similar to the Bagua palm of the flying nine palaces, relying on the arm and so on. If the eight masters are a single-person training how to enter the hand and enter the body, then the training of the nine palaces and the plum blossom is to train people how to take over, progress, enter and enter the hand, which also includes the point force tightening, listening strength, and chemical strength when taking over. This step of kung fu, if according to the popular form of the fist and other internal family boxing training, basically do not take out separately, after you have practiced for a number of years, the master is happy to serve, the master feeds you. In popular martial arts, the master will tell you. These things stand out on piles. Actually, such as
If you don't have the guidance of the master and stand on the pile for ten years, you can't realize it yourself.
The three talents of the third step, needless to say, are three-body. As far as I was talking privately with some other practitioners of the Form-Intention Fist taught by the Master, I said that if the three-body stand is understood, the Five Elements Fist will be half understood. But people say, wrong, you're wrong. The three-body stand understands, and the five elements fist is fully understood. Therefore, our three-body formula does not seek merit, but seeks an understanding. In addition, tightness is, to put it bluntly, a training similar to eagle catching, which can help people exercise their listening. When the kung fu is practiced to this step, it should be said that it has not yet entered the formal training of shape and intention boxing, but only in the previous few months, the practitioners have dealt with ordinary people, including the general modern combat practitioners, and they have a certainty of victory, and the next step of the school twenty-four methods, five elements of boxing and other training can be said to be internal strength training, of course, there is also the significance of actual combat techniques. At this point in the article, I would like to talk about a Zen case: In the past, a monk asked a Zen master for the Dharma, and this monk was diligent in practicing every day, and when he had time, he meditated, and the Zen master asked him, Why are you meditating? The monk answered the day, in order to become a Buddha. So whenever the monk meditated, the Zen master took an iron rod and a stone and grinded it around the monk, and the monk was overwhelmed. Just ask, Master, what are you doing? The Zen master said that if the clothes are broken, a needle should be sharpened. The monk asked strangely, can the iron rod be ground into a needle? The Zen master immediately asked, Can meditation become a Buddha? The monk was stunned and did not know how to answer, and the Zen master asked again. The carriage you drive doesn't walk, do you hit a horse or a taxi? So the monk had an epiphany. What I want to tell you is that this public case was later derived into a parable, saying that Li Bai did not study when he was a child, and once he saw the old woman take an iron pestle and grind it on the stone, he was curious to ask the use, the mother-in-law said to grind a needle, Li Bai asked whether the iron pestle can be ground into a needle? The mother-in-law said that as long as the kung fu is deep, the iron pestle is ground into a needle. So Li Bai had an epiphany and became
Children who love to learn.
A public case, a parable, which one is closer to the truth of the facts? I chatted with an old friend today about the power of power. He was surprised by my point of view, why? Because the propaganda in the magazine has always been misleading to him and a considerable number of traditional martial arts enthusiasts, it seems that a person stands behind closed doors, and after a few years, as soon as the door is opened, he will do anything, and he will become a master of actual combat. But is that the case? Can you grow peppers by planting eggplant? Can you become a Buddha by meditating? Standing on a pile can become the king of fighting? Now there are still many people who tirelessly discuss whether traditional martial arts can fight, in fact, in the tradition, people practice martial arts, the first purpose of practicing shape and intention boxing is to fight, everything is to fight as the core, what _ three-body style, five elements of boxing are for the actual combat service, so the shape of the meaning of a real combat master, and today's people, but also to maintain health, and the pursuit of skill cultivation, but people have not understood the actual combat need for the power of what is the power, so now people's pile is a dead pile, boxing skills are in line with boxing, sanda technology. A few years ago, there was a teacher Wei who wrote a "Shape-Intention Fist Fighting Kung Fu Rapid Upper Body Method", whose proposition was to abandon the theory of eight characters and nine songs, practice with a three-body pile, take the five elements as a single operator, and then use the five elements as the technical body to fight. As far as his article is concerned, it can be seen that he understands the shape of the boxing with the thinking of boxing, as everyone knows, the shape of the boxing and boxing are two different technologies and actual combat modes under the thinking of two cultures, if we understand the shape of the boxing thinking, then the shape of the boxing is no advantage at all. The authorities of the former Soviet Union have done a set of tests on the frequency of combination punches of young boxers, of which the slowest group reaches 69 punches every six seconds, and the fastest group reaches 83 punches every six seconds, which means that the frequency of their group punches reaches 11 to 13 punches per second: and the shape of the boxing
If the technical model is understood in the way of boxing, it is a step by step, there are a small number of boxers who pay attention to frequency and speed to put forward requirements for it, the standard is three punches per second, of course, the advantages and disadvantages of this frequency are not the only and decisive factors in actual combat, the problem is that when a person is accustomed to a dense attack frequency of more than 11 punches per second, can your so-called heavy punch hit the opponent's body?
Therefore, it is not enough to say that the inner fist such as the shape of the fist has internal strength, which is not enough to be ashamed. If you want to fight with the shape of the fist, you must discard the unrealistic illusions such as heavy punches and internal strength, and study the laws of human actual combat, although it is said that the shape of the fist has the saying of "hard to fight hard and enter without cover", but this hard fight is different from the wild beating of the street reckless man, the hard fight is the hardness of the spiritual momentum, the hardness of the psychology, and from a technical point of view, it is a clever fight. There is a principle and a principle in the actual combat of the Shape and Intention Fist, the principle is the unity of Gu And fight, and the principle is to bury the roots and deceive. That is to say, in any combination of technology, the attack, attack and defense, and protection must be reflected in one action, and the cooperation of technical techniques, body methods, and footwork should be optimal, so that you can punch people without knowing.
Can traditional martial arts be fought? We've been talking about this for years, and all the excuses have been found. But when it comes to teaching and practice, it is still to throw an iron pestle to the students, grind it, as long as the kung fu is deep, it can be sharpened into a needle. However, what if the pants are torn before they are ground into needles? Just so bare-ass? In Ren Zhicheng's "Yin and Yang Holding the Palm", Li Zhenqing's predecessor taught his disciples boxing techniques, and at first he only taught one horse pile, and after standing for a few years, Elder Li said to leave first, come back after three years, and let the disciple stand for three years to pick the horse pile, but this walk was five years. More than five years later, Elder Li quietly returned, secretly observed, and saw the disciples
He had been standing on the pile before he came out and continued to teach him the eight plates. As far as many examples are concerned, the statement that the three-body style of the first three-year stand is not at all the need for training, but an inspection method for the master to choose his own mantle and pass it on. I am amazed at the educational methods of my predecessors. But what about this method of education and investigation today? Can we select the right successors? This is a question. At the same time, this method of education and investigation has now basically become a statement for some people to fool people. The way the seniors examined their disciples objectively did fool generations.
While writing this article, one of my brothers read some of my unfinished manuscripts and gave me an opinion. That is to say, a beginner, if you carry out actual combat too early, I am afraid that the action of the overall force will be deformed, (Isn't Qiao Feng also the first in the world when he is an adult?) ）。 So let's ask the question, what does actual combat mean? In fact, if an amateur martial arts practitioner has to face the actual battle, to a large extent, he is facing the moment of life and death, even if the friendship is exchanged, then what is the purpose of your competition? In the final analysis, it is also in case one day you have to face the test of life and death to survive, if one side is survival, the other side is the overall force, what do you choose? You catch a carriage, and when the carriage does not leave, do you hit the horse or take a taxi?
