Baji famous Wu Lianzhi"

Cangzhou is a famous hometown of martial arts, in the more than 50 boxing schools circulating in Cangzhou, Mengcun's Bajiquan is unique, enjoys a good reputation, martial arts proverbs, "Baji plus split hanging, the gods and ghosts are also afraid of," said, which is sufficient to see the Bajiquan he prestige name. Mengcun Eight Extremes Boxing has been famous for many generations, from the Qing Dynasty "God Gun Wu Zhong" who broke into Shaolin Temple alone and surprised Beijing City, to the modern "Big Gun Li Shuwen" and Huo Tengge, which left many popular rumors and anecdotes. These stories have left many popular rumors and anecdotes. These stories have left a mysterious color to the ancient Eight Extremes Boxing, which makes the heart yearn for it. The past is gone, and the past cannot be traced. Among the contemporary Bajiquan heirs, Mr. Wu Lianzhi of Mengcun is a famous Bajiquan master at home and abroad. For the development and dissemination of Bajiquan, he is exhaustively traveling both at home and abroad. Born in 1947, Mr. Wu Lianzhi was born in a Bajiquan family in Mengcun Hui Autonomous County, Cangzhou, Hebei Province. When mentioning the Wu family in Mengcun, no one in the martial arts world knows that the Open Door Eight Extremes Fist of Mengcun was born in the Wu family. According to "Wu's Open Door Bajiquan Genealogy", in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, a southern martial arts master passed through Mengcun, and taught the young man Wu Zhong, who was just fifteen years old, the exquisite art of fighting. It took Wu Zhong ten years to become famous with his big gun, and it is said that "from Nanjing to Beijing, the big gun counts Wu Zhong". Wu Zhong was known as the "Divine Gun". The kung fu taught by Wu Zhong was later named Bajiquan, and since then, Bajiquan has taken root in the Wu family in Mengcun, Cangzhou. Wu Lianzhi is the descendant of Wu Zhong. Coming from a family of martial arts, it is incumbent upon him to carry on the ancestral tradition and pass on the martial arts. Wu Lianzhi recalled that he can not remember from the age of a few years to start practicing boxing, as if a moment to walk, began to learn boxing. He first followed his grandfather, Wu Huiqing boxing, he learned the first set of Bajiquan old frame was taught by his grandfather. Although his grandfather loved him very much, he was very strict with him in practicing. Unfortunately, when Wu Lianzhi was 11 years old, his grandfather passed away. After his grandfather's death, Wu Lianzhi learned Bajiquan from his father, Wu Xiufeng. Half a century ago, Cangzhou was very poor, and most of the people in Mengcun went out to work and do business, and those who knew kung fu went out to work as bodyguards and sell their skills. But the Wu family is a Hui people, the ancestral legacy is not to be a bodyguard, not to sell art, Wu Lianzhi's father, Wu Xufeng, worked in Tianjin for many years, doing business, and free of charge to teach Bajiquan in Tianjin in his spare time, and became famous in Tianjin for a long time. Wu Lianzhi went to school in Tianjin for two years and returned to Mengcun after the death of his grandfather. At that time, despite the difficulties of family life, Wu Lianzhi never stopped practicing Bajiquan, and he went to Tianjin to learn Bajiquan from his father every time when the school was on vacation. In the Spring Festival, his father would also come back to Mengcun, and during the festive days of the first month when families celebrated the New Year, his father seized the short time to get together to teach Wu Lianzhi the art of martial arts. "At that time, we father and son often get up five nights, sleep in the middle of the night to practice, although it is very bitter, but now recall, but very happy. When you really love martial arts, you don't feel bitter even if you suffer a lot." Wu Lianzhi lamented. Due to his father's teaching, coupled with his own hard work, Wu Lianzhi was outstanding in martial arts at a young age, in Cangzhou martial arts, and gradually gained fame as a rising star with extraordinary skills. From the age of eighteen, Wu Lianzhi took on disciples to pass on his skills, and his disciples Liu Xiuping, Chang Yugang, and Liu Lianjun once won championships in national competitions. In 1976, Wu Xiufeng died suddenly, and great grief landed on Wu Lianzhi's heart. After bidding farewell to his father, Wu Lianzhi felt that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier and heavier. He knew that from then on, his father's unfinished business and the responsibility of promoting Bajiquan would all fall on his shoulders. In the 1980s, the Chinese martial arts ushered in a vigorous development. In order to adapt to the development of wushu at home and abroad, in 1985, Mengcun Hui Autonomous County set up the Open Door Bajiquan Research Association, and Wu Lianzhi, who was less than forty years old, was elected as the president, and began to take charge of the Bajiquan door, and became the master of contemporary Cangzhou Bajiquan. The spread of Chinese Bajiquan overseas first began with Mr. Liu Yunqiao of Taiwan. Mr. Liu Yunqiao was a disciple of Li Shuwen, a modern Bajiquan master, who spread Bajiquan among overseas Chinese and made the world know the face of Bajiquan for the first time.After the 1980s, overseas Bajiquan enthusiasts came to Mangcun in search of their roots and pursued the true meaning of Bajiquan. In 1982, Matsuda Takashi from Japan visited China and came to Mengcun, Cangzhou in June. Mengcun Wushu community held a grand Bajiquan performance conference, Wu Lianzhi in the conference performed a wonderful Bajiquan performance, so that the Japanese friends were amazed. Matsuda Takashi and his party returned to Japan, but also took away the publicity video materials about Bajiquan. The Japanese were amazed by the fierce and explosive, earth-shaking momentum of Bajiquan. So, from 1983, Wu Lianzhi was invited by the Japanese martial arts circles and began to teach Bajiquan in Japan. During the period of teaching Bajiquan in Japan, Wu Lianzhi once defeated a tall Japanese karate master and shook the East. These are the old words of more than ten years ago, now, Wu Lianzhi has made a world in Japan, so that the Chinese Eight Extremes Fist is y rooted in Japan. Wu Lianzhi said that, with his assistance, Japan has been established in Japan, Japan Open Door Bajiquan Research Association, Japan Open Door Bajiquan Association, Open Door Boxing Society, Bajiquan Society, Japan Bajiquan Law Research Society and other five Bajiquan associations and organizations. These Bajiquan organizations are located in Tokyo, Nagoya and other cities, and they are all under the command of Wu Lianzhi's foreign disciples. Twice a year, Wu Lianzhi has to travel east to Japan to personally instruct his Japanese disciples in practicing Bajiquan. Asked how many Bajiquan disciples there are in Japan now, Wu Lianzhi said he hadn't counted them, probably there are thousands of them. These disciples are the seeds that spread Bajiquan to every island in Japan. While traveling to Japan to spread Bajiquan, Wu Lianzhi also visited Europe many times to teach Bajiquan, covering England, Switzerland, Germany and Italy. Everywhere he went, Wu Lianzhi's exquisite martial arts skills convinced the tall and big Europeans, and the unique charm and charisma of Bajiquan made the Europeans intoxicated. In the past two or three years, Bajiquan has also spread to South Korea. Wu Lianzhi said he was invited to South Korea from 2000 to disseminate Bajiquan. When teaching Bajiquan in South Korea, the South Koreans specially arranged a Bajiquan performance, so that a 26-year-old Korean taekwondo master and Wu Lianzhi sparring. As a result, Wu Lianzhi, who was in his fifties, threw the young and strong taekwondo master down four times in a row. This martial arts competition, Korea's KBH TV and Korean cable TV station made a live report, many other Korean news media also conducted interviews, a time when China's Bajiquan and Wu Lianzhi shocked Korea. Last year, under the initiative of Mr. Wu Lianzhi, Korea also set up the Open Door Bajiquan Research Association. Koreans are very obsessed with Bajiquan, in our interview with Mr. Wu Lianzhi, a young Korean in his twenties came all the way to Mengcun, saying that he came to Mengcun five years ago to learn Bajiquan with Mr. Wu Lianzhi, and this time he came to Mengcun again in the hope that he could get Mr. Wu's further instruction. Looking at the Korean youth's eagerness to learn, we were moved. What kind of spirit is it for a young man who is far away from home to come to Mengcun, which is relatively poor and closed, in order to pursue the true meaning of Eight Extremes Boxing, regardless of the long distance and language barrier! Now, Bajiquan is loved by people all over the world, and Bajiquan is the main event of Cangzhou Wushu Festival which has been held for six times. During the festival, tens of thousands of Bajiquan disciples come to Mengcun in Cangzhou to search for their ancestors, which is an unprecedented event. Besides, there are countless martial arts enthusiasts from all over the world who visit Mengcun every year. In the words of Mr. Wu Lianzhi, Mengcun is the root of Bajiquan and the nest of Bajiquan. Why is Bajiquan loved by domestic and foreign martial arts enthusiasts? Mr. Wu Lianzhi said, "This is because Bajiquan has a strong practicality, fierce force, strong technical strikes, and can also play a fitness role, which is really suitable for both young and old." Although the current spread of Bajiquan in the world more and more widely, but the development of Bajiquan, Wu Lianzhi is y concerned. "First of all, the development in the country, especially in Cangzhou, the development situation is not optimistic." Wu Lianzhi said, because Mengcun is a poor county in the country, the backwardness of economic development, people's concept of backwardness, etc., have restricted the speed of development of Bajiquan. Now Bajiquan in Mengcun still follows the old teaching mode of master and disciple teaching by word of mouth, are masters with a few disciples practicing in their spare time. The scale and number of martial arts schools in Cangzhou lag far behind those in Henan and Shandong, which is extremely disproportionate to the reputation of Cangzhou as the famous hometown of martial arts and also affects the development and popularization of Bajiquan. "Secondly, there are also many misunderstandings about the study of Bajiquan. What is Bajiquan? Where did Bajiquan actually originate? What are the six openings? Why is Bajiquan powerful? There should be a scientific explanation for all these questions." Wu Lianzhi said that when telling foreigners about Bajiquan, it is very important to explain these questions clearly. Wu Lianzhi believes that the spread of Bajiquan began without a name, at that time just called the technique, the name of Bajiquan from Wu (Bac Rong) wrote the "Wu's open door Bajiquan谱 "only to determine the name. Why is it called Bajiquan? This is and ancient Chinese philosophy - Taiji doctrine, has a close relationship. Yi Taiji, is born two meters; two meters four elephants, four elephants born gossip; gossip outside the eight (outlaw c), eight (outlaw c) this outside the eight Hong, eight Hong outside the eight poles ...... multiply, endless changes, endless. Taiji doctrine is the ancient Chinese simple philosophy, full of development and change of the discursive ideas. Taiji yin and yang and five elements of the changes are mutually reinforcing, without the development of nature's yin and yang mutually reinforcing changes, there is no world, so there is a "Wen have Taiji An world, martial arts have Eight Poles to set the world" said. Bajiquan is rooted in ancient Chinese traditional culture and development. "The source of martial arts to explore the study, however, to have a scientific basis and sufficient arguments, to use the dialectical thinking to look at the problem, never subjective, imaginary. If problems are not studied with this scientific attitude, many jokes will be made." Wu Lianzhi gave the example of explaining the Six Great Openings of Bajiquan, "Some people say that the Six Great Openings are routines, which is not true. The six openings are the theoretical foundation of Bajiquan, which refers to the six types of strength of Bajiquan: top, hold, dust, chop, crotch, and wrap. This is the core of Bajiquan. Every movement of Bajiquan is a synthesis of these six forces. Therefore, the six openings are not routines, but theories." When it comes to the origin and theory of Bajiquan, Wu Lianzhi is talking at great length. He said that over the centuries since the founding of the Bajiquan sect, successive generations of heirs have developed it, "For example, my grandfather, Wu Huiqing, enriched the Bajiquan routines by adding the Black Tiger Fist, Flying Tiger Fist, Tipsy Stick, Three Sections Stick, and Tiger Head Hook routines, and my father, Wu Xufeng, developed the Bajiquan Xiaojia from one way to twelve ways. When it came to me, the modern scientific theories were used to explain the principles of power generation in Bajiquan." Wu Lianzhi told how when he was teaching Bajiquan in Japan, a question was asked about why Bajiquan's force generation was so great. He then used the theories of human body mechanics and kinesiology to explain that the force generation of Bajiquan requires stomping, crushing and breaking. Stomping is the body sinking, so that the reaction force increases; grinding is the center of the body as the axis of rotation, resulting in centrifugal force; breakthrough is to accelerate forward movement. These three forces are synthesized and combined with the unity of intention and qi, so Bajiquan is powerful. "This explanation is easy for foreigners to accept. In modern society, if martial arts are to develop, they cannot be confined to the theories of the past, and modern scientific knowledge should be used to enrich the theory of martial arts, so that the ancient Eight Extremes Fist can be rejuvenated in the new century." Wu Lianzhi said he was ready to build a training center for Bajiquan in Mengcun, to open disciples widely and teach Bajiquan. "In the past, the Bajiquan sect was more conservative, and some routines were not taught outwardly at all; I want to break this tradition." He also want to write a book, his life experience and the ancient stunts of Bajiquan are dedicated to the community ...... Wu Lianzhi talked slowly, words show the love of traditional Chinese martial arts culture, spread the traditional Chinese martial arts culture of the fist heart.

These enough? Oh ...... my principle is to have free to use free!
