Does the essence of China Wushu exist?

I) Internal Strength Kung Fu (Internal Strength Kung Fu) The so-called internal strength Kung Fu is a kind of high-intensity stimulation and exercise to the muscles, fascia, bones and internal organs in the body through breathing and corresponding limb movements, so as to maximize the functions of these body tissues. This kind of internal strength kung fu can basically be divided into two training methods: "Qi and blood surge" and "relaxing muscles and pulling bones". Qi and blood pumping is to pump up Qi and blood with specific breathing and breathing methods (usually swallowing, swallowing or spraying) combined with the elastic transformation of muscles to strengthen muscles and bones. This kind of martial arts can not only strengthen muscle strength, but also exercise a certain fighting ability through elastic expansion, so folk kung fu such as "golden bell jar" and "iron cloth shirt" should be practiced more. Other sects, such as Dougong, Eighteen Arhats, King Kong Arhats, etc., are also representatives of this method. The kung fu of stretching tendons and pulling bones is the kung fu of stretching and twisting limbs to pull bones and muscles, thus enhancing the strength of bones and muscles. As the saying goes, "the strength is great when the tendons are long", and this kind of martial arts can exert its strength to the maximum extent. Although it doesn't depend on any external instruments, it's amazing to practice successfully. The so-called kung fu that can "increase divine power" in Yijinjing is this kind of achievement method, and the most widely known is the twelve major achievements of Yijinjing. Others such as Xiong Yijin Jing, Wu Yijin Jing, Omega Supreme Gong, Dali, etc. , all belong to this achievement method. In addition to the above two basic types of Neizhuang Kung Fu, there is also a training method of Neizhuang Kung Fu called "rubbing" in Yijinjing. Compared with the breathing, breathing, breathing, adjusting breath and muscle tightness mentioned above, it is mild at first, but it can be practiced to the bone, strengthen internal strength and external strength, which is a new way to practice internal strength kung fu. Yijinjing The thirteen stages of kneading skill and internal skill taught by Bao Ding, a famous modern psychologist (the thirteen stages of internal skill of Taibao) are such representatives. In recent years, Ma Shengli's 48-hour self-defense technique has been widely circulated in the society, with a wide influence, claiming that there are tens of thousands of learners. Many practitioners will ask why these two seemingly simple skills, "high-frequency surge" and "deep stimulation", can produce very good results in short-term training, with full strength, great strength, enhanced muscle strength and enhanced anti-strike ability. In fact, as long as we compare these two techniques with traditional internal kung fu, we can see that although these two techniques are simple, they actually condense the two most basic and core training methods in traditional internal kung fu. "High-frequency drum" is a qi and blood drum, and "deep stimulation" is a traditional kung fu of stretching tendons and pulling bones. These two methods are actually the products of the modernization and scientific transformation of traditional Neizhuang Kung Fu, which makes people feel that the methods are simple and effective. In the traditional martial arts schools, various self-contained internal strength methods are everywhere to carry out special targeted training. Such as various versions of Yijinjing, Dougong, Kong Li Wang, Luohangong, Hunyuan Yiqing, etc. And many famous boxing routines or movements also include this kind of practice method of combining internal strength with kung fu. For example, the squat frame of Bajiquan, the skill boxing frame of Cangzhou Gongyi and the iron boxing of Nanpai Hongjia are all internal strength boxing methods that regulate breathing, nourish viscera, strengthen muscles and bones and maintain strength; The three-body style of Xingyiquan and the mixed pile of Dachengquan all have the practice methods and connotations of pulling out tendons and bones. In addition to the above boxing methods, the school of Zhang Changzhen (Drunken Zhang San) discovered in the magazine Wu Soul in recent years is also an excellent internal strength kung fu. Its system is perfect and its training method is unique. It is really the essence of traditional internal training method, which is very valuable and I personally like it. (2) Practicing full-body kungfu internally (practicing kungfu internally) Many kinds of traditional martial arts, especially the so-called internal boxing (in fact, there is no difference between internal boxing and external boxing, and many so-called external boxing also contain similar technical essentials), all pay great attention to the power of boxing, especially paying attention to practicing "full strength" in boxing and using "full strength" in hitting people. This kind of overall strength is a reasonable internal structure and dynamic mode formed through training, as well as the overall strength issued by highly coordinated external movements and nerve reflexes, which is usually called "internal strength". Many beginners of internal boxing can't stand on the stump with peace of mind and honestly practice boxing, but hope that the teacher can have some profound "internal skills." As long as they practice this kind of "internal strength", it is natural for them to show their internal strength. But what often disappoints them is that most teachers will give them the same answer as the teacher of a student mentioned above: if you want to practice "internal strength", you have to practice boxing in a down-to-earth manner. Traditionally, the so-called internal boxing is a typical boxing method that combines boxing and kung fu. In order to obtain and practice the required strength and internal strength, many internal strength training essentials of various parts of the body are designed accordingly in boxing, so as to adjust and train to form a reasonable internal structure and dynamic stereotypes. In fact, the internal training method of internal boxing refers to all kinds of details and essentials contained in boxing method, boxing potential and action. It's useless to learn boxing, especially within the family. Only by truly understanding the requirements and significance of boxing internal strength training methods, and putting these details and essentials into every movement of standing piles and boxing, can we practice whole body harmony. As long as these details are truly achieved and put in place in the standing pile boxing, then every boxing posture you practice is practicing "internal strength". In this sense, in order to cultivate, exercise and form a complete family, every detail requirement and action essentials of the reasonable frame structure and dynamic mode of the so-called Neijia Boxing is a kind of "internal strength" exercise of the body. For example, Tai Chi spreads deficiency and strong collar, including chest pull-back, heavy shoulders and elbows, loose waist and buttocks, up and down penetration, and internal and external integration; Xingyiquan's three tops, three buckles, three circles, three hugs, three swings, three songs, three stands, three sensitivities, six rivers, eight essentials and nine numbers; Bagua palm collapse, buckle, lift, top, wrap, loosen, hang, shrink and other strategies; Six skills required for each psychological boxing, such as chicken leg, dragon body, bear arm, eagle catching, tiger hugging and thunder; The mental excuses and round support in the pile of Italian boxing are all internal strength of the whole body. Can we not call it internal work? (3) Internal cultivation (internal cultivation or internal training) is different from the first two kinds of kungfu. The first kind of kungfu is more inclined to cultivate and understand the potential mechanism of human body, mind and life, that is, the skill of cultivating truth and understanding Tao. This kind of kung fu is represented by Taoist alchemy, other methods such as tantric practice and Indian yoga, as well as various schools of practice, such as introduction, breathing, fetal breathing, qi-moving, meditation and meditation. , belongs to this way. From ancient times to the present, the traditional cultivation credits are divided into five schools: Buddhism, Confucianism, medicine and martial arts. All kinds of internal training kungfu were originally independent of martial arts techniques and formed their own system, but martial arts also borrowed from other internal training techniques, such as meridians, qi and blood, spiritual guidance and so on. For example, Tai Chi teaches the technique of guiding qi pulse by breathing and thoughts, and the work of abdominal varus; Xingyiquan has three layers of truth and three layers of breathing; Inner strength of the mind and mind boxing, etc. , is not only the combination of boxing Nakauchi Isao practice and internal strength practice. In addition, there are many martial arts practitioners who practice both boxing and Taoism. By sharpening the skills of fighting, we can transform our physical and mental temperament, and then realize the meaning of the essence of life, which is the so-called "martial arts into the Tao." Among the above three methods, strengthening the body from the inside out is the method to strengthen the muscles and bones, and strengthening the body from the inside out, thus enhancing the strength; The internal strength of kung fu is to connect the whole body, form a six-in-one and harmonious unity, and exercise the boxing skills of the whole family; The internal cultivation of kung fu is to explore the ultimate realm of life universe and the unity of man and nature through the internal cultivation and recuperation of self-body and mind. Although the three kinds of kungfu have different emphases, they can all be called "internal strength" from the content and purpose of practicing kungfu. Through classification and induction, the essence of the so-called "internal strength" is very clear, and the specific object and definition are not mysterious. As long as you practice boxing in a down-to-earth manner and accumulate over time, your mental temperament will inevitably change completely. Kung fu is here, the inside and outside are integrated, and the "internal strength" is naturally on your upper body.
