He also said that Xingyiquan has no dragon step, and the dragon step is also a snake step. He has seen the so-called "dragon step", and his front legs reach out when they touch the ground. Li Lao said that the leg method of Xingyiquan is stretching and contracting, and there will be no stretching of the calf. The front legs should still be folded like snakes. The only way to play without stretching your legs is to stop the enemy's feet, but you don't have to use an emergency punch to see life and death when you walk an inch calmly. The big step of withdrawing the front foot is mainly to practice dharma.
"Dragon bone search" emphasizes the strength of bone (the strength of renin, the innate strength). To put it bluntly, it contains two elements. First, the buttocks (that is, the muscles on the lumbar spine and pelvis, traditionally called dantian and zhongjie) can exert force, and the waist and hip joints can be opened and closed; Second, the muscles and veins of the whole body are connected, and dantian force can make all parts of the body smooth without internal friction, which is called "Jin Dao" to get through. The muscles in the abdominal area can't feel their existence at ordinary times-unless you sprain your waist, but after practicing, you will realize that these dead joints in people contain the strongest power-that is the power of primitive beasts and the real instinct.
The old gentleman said that practicing boxing is effective and more effective, "it can increase the strength of 200 Jin", which is beyond the imagination of the concept. You can see that the amazing speed, strength and coordination of the tiger and leopard when they grab food are all launched from these parts. With this power as the backing, the bachelor of arts also dared to go to war. Any beast, Jackie Chan into a tiger, the strongest is not the spine and waist and buttocks? With the strength of the dragon and tiger, how can you not be brave? Mr. Sun Lutang said that "Xingyiquan is nothing more than returning the whole body to Dantian", which seems to be an understatement, but it actually contains the wisdom of unique learning at home. However, the abdomen exerts great force on the abdominal intima. The spherical cavity below the diaphragm and above the pelvis is as elastic as a ball (the function of fascia) and as firm as a steel ball (the function of bone). Therefore, the opening and closing function of the abdomen is the first. The so-called "killing people in one year" is because this part of the training has been strengthened from the beginning. Only the opening and closing of the abdomen can coordinate the opening and closing of the joints of the whole body, and only the "internal opening and closing" can talk about the "external opening and closing" of the chest, back and limbs. There is a saying in Xingyiquan, "Why is Xingyiquan different from other boxing methods? Just because the front foot enters, the back foot will follow, and the strength is endless. " Without the opening and closing of the abdomen to drive the internal changes of the whole body, it is impossible to produce infinite wave-turning force in any case. Of course, you can also use external introduction, from dynamic to static, such as the opening and closing style of Tai Chi Chuan, the flying style of Hongyan, the tiger shape of Xingyiquan, the tapir shape and so on, which can all be used for exercise. It's just that if you don't practice properly, it's easy to hang your strength on your arms and legs, and it's not easy to go deep into your heart.
Song's move is to practice opening and closing through pole-less piles. Infinite style, such a stop, how can it be worthy of the first style of domestic three fists? Moreover, Li Cunyi, Sun Lvtang, Xue Dian and other masters wrote books and said that infinite body must be the first chapter. Later generations can practice without following this step, but they can't help but understand this principle. If they can't explain this clearly, they don't deserve to say that they are practicing internal boxing. Twenty-four doors of form and meaning-starting from infinity and ending in infinity, with one type occupying two "positions". Did the old-timers make up the numbers? No, there is a qualitative difference between accepting the infinity of work and starting infinity. There is a rule in Xingyimen teaching piles, which is not easy to spread: round piles must be naturally generated by electrodeless piles, and then return to infinity by round piles. Instead of putting more than twenty kinds there, it is a dynamic process of three layers of truth and three layers of effort. It is aimed at the closed orifices in the human body. If these tricks are understood, there will be no secrets in family boxing. What is rigid and soft, dynamic and static, yin and yang, elasticity and reality, all in a smile. But there are several levels of psychology in it, and we can't mess it up. In the past, Xingyimen taught boxing instead of wooden stakes. As far as boxing teaching is concerned, disciples can make great efforts, but it is difficult to teach others. From the twenty-four piles, the disciples knew the ins and outs of Kung Fu and could teach others by themselves. Therefore, if you don't teach piles, you won't find the internal connection of twenty-four piles. When the teacher taught us, he did not formally mention twenty-four piles, but used form and meaning (Tai Chi) as an example. Ask the teacher about "flying with the swan", and the teacher slowly makes a gesture, that is, hands are raised horizontally from the legs, folded forward when they reach the level, and pressed down to the abdomen in front of the eyebrows. I don't understand, how can "Wild Goose Qi Fei" be as sharp and amazing as the rise of Tai Chi in the hands of other uncles? The teacher asked me to put my hand in, and I swooped into the shape of a tiger. The teacher is still the same, but the speed has increased instantly. Not only do you suck your chest and pull your back to swallow the offensive, but your arms are twisted and locked, and your fists are already in your chest and abdomen. This is a horse-shaped pile, and at the same time, the teacher also made a double bombing step-this is one step in the house of flying daggers, the symbol of Song Huchen. That's it. Give me the connection between the rodless pile and the five elements and twelve shapes. Later, the teacher demonstrated that the tiger shape, chicken shape, swallow shape and changing hands were all transformed from infinity. Later, I saw Mr. Hu Haiya's experience in learning from Tai Ji Chuan, and read in Tai Ji Chuan's classic that "all boxers are on top, and all underlings are on top", so I fully understood the teacher's painstaking emphasis.
The pile is right, the bones and muscles care for each other, the bones and muscles support each other, the joints are twisted and pulled, the internal friction is full, and the meridians have a swelling feeling of mercury perfusion, which is a physical gain. The key is that the human brain is also open-minded. The most obvious thing is to look at the "internal strength" and "divination" in Yijing Washing the marrow and Four Classics of Internal Strength, and you should feel like singing with the sages. Others, such as the art of war, Taoist books and vertical and horizontal books, should also have feelings.
The problem of bone penetration is also important. The importance of joints is mentioned in the martial arts of Chang family. It is pointed out that "a joint is a gap between two bones, where the spirit is as strong as iron ... and the strength is complete". It is required to "fill sandbags truthfully, even soft objects can make them hard". Tai Chi also pays attention to "bonesetting" when exerting strength. Form and meaning emphasize "turning guns into fists". Where did the gun go? In fact, it is in the body-the human skeleton is a big gun! Especially the spine, after internal training, is tough and elastic, just like a pewter rod. The muscle strength of the waist and buttocks is stored here and transformed into the elasticity of high-frequency killing-this is like the stunt of "golden rooster nodding" in marksmanship. The strength of the waist and buttocks is transmitted to the head of the gun and transformed into gun flowers and Tai Chi chaos, as well. But this must rely on the elasticity of the big pole, and the hard wooden stick can't pull out the gun flower. To practice form and spirit, you have to practice the skeleton and muscle structure from the soles of your feet to the center of your head and from your waist to your hands, just like practicing a white wax pole. When you are energetic, you also follow the gun tactics. In marksmanship, it is called "touching clothes and turning meat", and in boxing, it is called "sticking to reality and spitting force". This is the true meaning of "straight strength" with both form and spirit. You can look at the photos of Mr. Sun Lutang in his later years. As tall as a gun? Some people always feel that both form and frequency cannot be taken into account, but their internal strength is not enough, which is very sad. Although the muscles of the waist and buttocks can exert force, some joints are still softening, and the force is missed from the joints during the transmission process. The strength cannot be simply and quickly, so we have to hold our breath in the chest or abdomen and wave, push, push and bump.
The application of bone strength in actual combat is no different from that of weapons. This bone is eighteen weapons. Form and meaning are gun boxing, Tai Chi gossip is sword boxing, and arm piercing is whip boxing. Follow the tricks of using weapons, and all kinds of tricks work.
