Ten methods of Shaolin boxing

Shaolin Temple Wushu calls "Three Knots, Four Pointes, Five Elements, Identity, Footwork, Hand-Foot Method, Forward Method, Caring Method (Opening Method, Cutting Method, Pursuing Method), Three-nature Nursing Method and Inner Strength Method" as ten methods, which are the synthesis of hand, eye, body, method, step, spirit, qi, strength, merit, defense and strength. To practice Shaolin Wushu, you must know ten methods, so as not to deviate and get quick results. The four points refer to the blood point, the bone point, the meat point and the tendon point. Hair is the tip of blood, teeth are the tip of bone, tongue is the tip of meat, and nails are the tip of tendons. Four sharp points and ten fingers are aligned, indicating that you want to rush to the crown, your teeth want to break gold, your tongue wants to destroy your teeth, and your armor wants to penetrate the bone. Shaolin Temple boxing spectrum says: "Know four tricks and add strength. When the four tips are together, the inner strength comes out. " The key is that consciousness guides qi and blood to reach these parts, so as to concentrate qi and make all departments of the body emit more energy. Thinking about the power of the four tips, all parts of the body will react, and then through the feedback of the nerves, it will be transmitted to the brain to adjust the action, and Qi Li can be achieved. Therefore, when you want to rush to the crown, your head must be consciously lifted. This not only avoids the problem of bending over, but also accelerates the metabolism of capillary network and increases the energy of muscle work because of the infiltration of qi. This is the so-called four strokes. It also added a sentence "teeth are about to break gold", which means that facial muscles contract nervously, which increases the contraction force of related strands and clenches their teeth to gather Yuan Shen. "A desire to penetrate the bone" consciously exerts force at the fingertips, reaching the nails, filling the fingertips with qi and blood, which is conducive to the exertion of strength. From the angle of attack and defense, being energetic is also scientific. For example, when the teeth are about to break gold, the tongue is just when the teeth are about to destroy the teeth. Even if the chin is hit during the confrontation, it will not bite the tongue. The tip of the tongue and the upper jaw are beneficial to saliva secretion and body strength. Imagine that when the four tips exert their strength, due to the tension of related parts under the guidance of consciousness, the process of capillary metabolic exchange is bound to be strengthened, and its synergic muscles and antagonistic muscles are bound to work together, thus strengthening metabolism, increasing endocrine, strengthening the work of the heart and lungs and other systems, and generating extraordinary energy. Therefore, after the four tips are together, I feel that the blow is particularly severe. Try to relax the power of the four tips, and you will obviously feel relaxed. This is the same meaning as the static muscle contraction of Yijinjing, and it is internally related to Qigong.

At that time, it was obviously impossible for the elders of Shaolin Temple to have advanced instruments to test the changes of blood, bioelectricity, respiration and metabolism caused by four-point arrangement, but according to their rich junior high school experience, they summed up the scientific method of four-point arrangement to enhance the effect of physical exercise. This is indeed the case: "When the four tips are aligned, the inner strength comes out. Qi's method must be to rush to the crown, to be bone, to break the gold in the teeth, and to destroy the teeth in the tongue. The heart is at war, and all four people are there. Gezi was born by Dan, like a tiger's hate and a dragon's surprise. Qi is the sound, the sound falls easily, and the hand follows the sound. Therefore, the movement of one skill, the movement of hundreds of skills, and the integration of four strokes are everywhere. " Shaolin Five Boxing, including dragon, tiger, leopard, snake and crane, is a stunt of Quanzhou Wushu.

The characteristics of Shaolin Five Boxing are "taking shape as boxing, taking meaning as god, simple and clear, and fierce boxing", which is full of masculine beauty. Its essence is: "be careful not to inject gas, gas injection does not inject force, see force produce force, see force transform force, see force effective, see force accumulate force."

According to historical records, during the reign of Ai Jin Zong Zheng, Bai Yufeng (named) of Songshan Shaolin Temple created Shaolin Five Boxing, which was later passed on to monk Jue Yuan. The two of them wrote the essentials of Shaolin Five Boxing, systematically expounded the characteristics of dragons, tigers, leopards, snakes and cranes, and the practice method of combining hands, feet, body, eyes, footwork with Five Boxing.

During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Japanese invaders often invaded the southeast coast of China, and the court issued decrees many times to allow the monks of Shaolin Temple in Songshan to fight. At that time, many monks built temples on the spot to participate in meditation and taught their disciples to preach merits. In the Qing Dynasty, Shaolin and Jingnan moved to the south and successively taught Shaolin Five Boxing in Fujian, Guangdong and other southern regions. Over time, the Northern Five Boxing absorbed the Southern Boxing and formed the Southern Shaolin Five Boxing.

Shaolin Wuquan is a bionic martial art, which belongs to the class of pictographic boxing. The movements and demeanor of birds and animals are vividly displayed in boxing. Dragons, tigers, leopards, snakes and stand out from the crowd, all of which show the combination of birds and beasts with heaven and earth.

To learn Five Boxing, we should practice both inside and outside, take the long boxing and southern boxing as the basic skills, and at the same time, cooperate with the adjustment of internal strength and breath to achieve the "trinity", that is, the foot, waist and shoulders urge the three levels, the essence, qi and spirit are integrated, and the shape is boxing, which means god, qi urges power and qi is the key. Huaquan Xiutui is a rare kind of boxing in Shaolin ancient boxing, belonging to Shaolin Soft Boxing School. Features: Where the cow lies, the hand is fast and does not show its shape, and it sticks to the clothes, so that it can reach its hand strength and leave the body. Essence: Hua Quan's Eight Methods, namely, "Swallow, Spit, Float, Sink, Stick, Leave, Break and Sparse".

Shaolin takes a gentle and elegant road, with its left hand twisting to the right like a flag waving in the wind, its skillful attack and defense like catkins blowing in the wind, its ups and downs like running water, and its relaxation like the tide rising and falling. The secret of Huaquan lies not in the moves, but in the use of strength. "The hands are agile, the shape is invisible, the clothes can't be attached, the hands are strong, and the body is weak."

Huaquan is short and pithy, and the weapon of fighting room ruler and stick can be practiced freely, which fully embodies the characteristics of "fist lying cow". Jin Shengtan, a famous scholar in the Ming Dynasty, once summarized it as: "Hua Quan fought short all the way."

Swallow clanking is the unique skill of Shaolin Huaquan. Swallow sonorous is named after its short hands and looks like a swallow. When jumping on the flat ground, it jumps lightly and abnormally, and then flies in the air to attack the sky. A beautiful figure, with softness and rigidity, can't hide her inner murder.

Quanzhou Huaquan was first seen in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. At that time, Zhou Cangyu and Zhou Runyu, two private school teachers on Xuefu Road in Quanzhou, were the founders of Quanzhou Huaquan. The two men gave their fists to Lin Chaotai, Lin to Zheng Lianlai, and Zheng Lianlai to his son Zheng. Features: "The boxing path is clear and concise, short and compact, flexible and changeable." Essence: "Take an arrow, close your hand like cotton, succeed in one move, and attack in succession."

Lohan's boxing theory is permeated with China's traditional philosophical viewpoint of "mutual benefit and extreme opposition". The change of hand shape embodies the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements. The hand shape of arhat boxing is divided into five branches according to the "five elements": "The upper palm is water, the straight palm is wood, the flapping palm is fire, the fist is earth, and the hook hand is gold." At the same time, various hand types have different action requirements: "Water branches are like clouds, wood branches are like moving arrows, fire branches are like burning clouds, wood branches are as heavy as iron, and gold branches are as deformed as hooks." The ever-changing "three palms, one punch and one hook" makes arhat boxing flexible and changeable, and it can often win by surprise in actual combat.

Luohan boxing is not only unique in style, but also insightful in learning martial arts. "Martial arts practitioners can be divided into three realms: to practice, to combine rigidity with softness, to be rigid but not flexible, to be flexible but not rigid, to take the next ride; Qi, can be both rigid and flexible, both rigid and flexible, and qi reaches the whole body, which is a middle ride; Luck is supreme, the virtual and the real complement each other, and the combination of rigidity and softness runs through the whole body. " Martial arts practitioners are different at different levels. The way of martial arts is not action, but spirit. Dance form is easy but difficult to enter the heart, which requires the understanding of practitioners and long-term study. His moves include "Monks holding scriptures, drunken lying on arhats, boys picking onions, serial attacks ..."

"One word and one horse" is a unique attack and defense method of arhat boxing. Whether attacking or defending, arhat boxing is aimed at the center of the opponent with its forehand like a bow, and it is resourceful to defend or attack; Follow the back hand, up or down, and hold the ribs. This fighting concept is similar to today's fighting technology!

As the saying goes, "south fist and north leg". It is generally believed that the leg technique is not the strong point of southern Wushu, but the leg technique of arhat boxing can not be ignored. Different from the high take-off kick method of "North Leg", arhat boxing is a kick method with low leg strength. The dance steps are diversified, concealed and the center of gravity is quite stable. It always catches the enemy by surprise.

The traditional unique weapon of Luohan Gate is "Crazy Magic Zen Staff", also known as "Lu Zui Mountain Gate Staff". It is nearly two meters long and weighs five kilograms, with double shovels at both ends. Legend: This staff method was originally owned by Yuedao people in Changbai Mountain. Master Xuanzang, a monk traveling in the countryside, is closely related to Taoist priests. They often talk about martial arts and learn from each other. After the monk learned the crazy wand method, Yunyou came to Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou and taught his unique skills to Shaolin monks, which has been passed down to this day. Crazy wand method "chopping, chopping, cutting, poking, picking, pulling, sweeping, hanging and stabbing" is magnificent and unique, as light and vigorous as Youlong Phoenix, as brave and ruthless as autumn wind sweeping leaves. The names of his moves are "opening the mountain gate wide", "carrying the sun and the moon" and "calming down in shock".

Hou Junhuan, a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou, is a master of Luohan Gate. During the period of the Republic of China, Zhuangzi deeply worshipped Hou Junhuan and learned the most complete Luohan Gate boxing and mechanical routines so far, including Luohan Gate III, Shaolin Boxing, Luohan Spring, Five-branch Boxing, Five-branch Boxing and Fagan, Magic mord and Blood Blade Knife. To his children. Also known as Dragon Boxing. Features: "Sinking, posture, waist and horse, portal eye, movement." Essence: "There is a broken bridge, and there is no bridge to build a bridge. Pay attention to spiritual cultivation." It not only combines the skills of keeping inside and swimming outside, but also has the skills of secondary defense.

Dragon Zun Boxing has 17 sets of boxing methods, which are strong, flexible and unpretentious, and are conducive to actual combat. If you recruit, you must fight or defend, without any ostentation, but the instantaneous change of each hand can play three functions: "blocking, defending and attacking". "Swallows, like golden cats catching mice; Spit, like a hungry tiger rushing out of the forest; Floating, Dapeng spreads its wings; As heavy as an old man holding a turn. " It seems to be prevention-oriented, but it can lure the enemy deeper and win by surprise.

For example, the "Three Lions Boxing" routine in Dragon Zun Boxing: the fists are full of momentum, and the middle finger protrudes one inch, which looks like a faucet. When changing from left to right, it moves quickly and has a sense of wholeness, which verifies the vagaries of the ancient "headless dragon" When moving, it is like boiling water in Huanglong, pushing the boat in the waves; Quiet is comfortable, and there is the power of mountains. Sometimes it stays still, sometimes it swims suddenly and quickly. Although the movement range and contraction range of this kind of boxing are not large, it can play the role of "blocking, preventing and attacking" between turns: one punch can quickly resist the enemy's first attack, the other punch can stop the enemy's second attack, and then use the close distance with the enemy to attack quickly, that is, "there is a bridge to break the bridge, no bridge to build a bridge."

Dragon Zunquan is not limited by the venue, and it is known as "the place where boxing lies". You can offer tea with one hand and make moves with the other, and you can compete for tea with each other. The secret of Dragon Zun Boxing is "practicing spirit" and the foundation is "three wars". Luck should be paramount, the eye method should pay attention to the eye, the footwork should be firm and flexible, and the boxing method should pay attention to the "portal". "When punching, the elbow should not exceed the distance of one punch from the rib, and the height of the punch should not exceed the shoulder", and the technique of "bending without bending, straight without straight, advancing and retreating freely, everything follows the fate" ensures the strength of defense and attack, and plays a role in leveraging strength. Its highest state is "six fights".

Dragon Zun Boxing, popular in Quanzhou, is the proper method of dragon Zun Boxing in Shaolin Temple. This method comes from Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan. During the Yongzheng period of Qing Dynasty, Lao Tiezhu came to Fujian, passed through Xianyou County of Xinghua, and took Zhu Shan as his apprentice, so he spread the Dragon Zun Boxing. Three years later, Zhu Shanxue passed on to his master Wu Shentian, the first generation of lay people. Zhu Shan passed on Gutian Peng Decheng (the second generation of laymen) and Decheng passed on Peng Jinshan, the third generation of laymen. Huang is a master of Yichi introduced to Quanzhou West Street from 65438 to 0945, and he is the tenth generation of laymen.

Dragon Zun Boxing is divided into two factions, one is "straight to the clean stream", that is, all the way to Dragon Boxing; The other faction is the "Prince Youlong Gate", that is, the two-way dragon method. There is a two-way dragon method circulating in Quanzhou.

Dragon Zun Boxing is one of the seven kinds of boxing in Fujian, which is still popular in Fuzhou, and the Japanese are also very interested in it. As early as February 1993, Japan Okinawa Rigid and Soft Shuttlecock Karate Association went to Fuzhou to perform with Gutian Wushu Team.
