How to cultivate plum blossom piles?

Plum blossom pile, because it is practiced standing on the pile, is different from all kinds of boxing and the plum blossom pile gloves of Nanquan. Its difficulty is far from comparable to ground practice. It requires a positive trend and stability in practice, and a strict dynamic stereotype should be established. Plum blossom pile is most suitable for group practice by more than two people. Everyone is surrounded by a plum blossom, which suddenly opens and closes, and it is very interesting. There is no fixed routine except five types, such as flowing, changeable, lively and not chaotic.

Nanquan also has plum blossom piles, but unlike the plum blossom piles and plum blossom boxing in the north, it not only has various upper limb movements, but also uses more legs, so it is also called "North-South Boxing". Its techniques are mainly one point, turning, sinking, moving, solving, falling, taking and advancing. The gait is mainly to drag horses. Its gait is mostly a "word horse", and its body shape pays attention to sideways posture. The term is "one-piece", the purpose is to keep a line in the defense, which is convenient for rapid advance and direct entry. Its movements require a clear distinction between reality and reality, paying attention to hiding, flashing, taking and hitting, avoiding its sharpness, attacking its weakness, attacking and punching, and being brave and agile.

Meihua boxing is divided into three sets: upper, middle and lower.

On the plate: Diao, take, lock, take, hook, receive, grab, hit, collapse, pick, split and smash.

Medium board: touch, stick, connect, follow, suck, unload, soften, melt, push, hold, lead, take, roll, turn, twist, rub, touch, bang, squeeze, lean, lean and hit.

Pedal: kick, hit, cut, bump, hook, hang, step, trip, fall, jump, roll, turn, sweep back and forth, pull left and right. It is an integrated method. Every part of the body plays a role in Wushu.

1. On the pile, you can jump directly on the pile or climb it when practicing. Pile method says: if you wrap your feet in piles, you will be invincible, and you can't leave the house. Practice on the pile is to strengthen the flexible use of various movements in different angles in the competition. Plum blossom boxing is said to be based on steps and angles, and its practice method is basically the same as the five potentials on the ground.

In addition, prone and supine strokes are used to fix posture, set route and laying angle, so as to achieve high alertness and alertness in the process of practicing hands, eyes, body, methods and steps.

2. Under the pile, the practitioner should keep his head above the pile and stay away from it. Note: If he wants to be invincible, he must walk under the pile (the pile is 28 inches long, counting 28 nights). I mainly practice techniques such as jumping, advancing and retreating in attack and defense, and leaning against piles by myself. The basic actions are grasping pile, leaning pile, pulling pile, sticking pile, holding pile, hanging pile and supporting pile.

The essentials of pile method are: be careful in advancing and retreating, be alert in ups and downs, avoid reality in vain, and be extremely active when encountering piles. In a word, pile training not only has the stability of angle route, but also can cultivate a high degree of vigilance.
