Do you have to press and stretch to practice martial arts? If you don't practice leg press, you don't deserve to learn martial arts (flowery)?

Practicing boxing, no matter what kind of boxing is waist and leg work, so the strength and flexibility of the waist and legs have certain requirements, of course, leg press is also an indispensable basic skills. In fact, the flower frame more to press the leg, now the state engaged in that set of martial arts competition, is based on the traditional routines to join a large number of gymnastic requirements. The following is my original.

What exactly is Chinese martial arts? This seems extremely simple question has actually been plagued by the majority of martial arts practitioners and enthusiasts, laymen are even more diverse. Now the sports world said that the martial arts refers to the boxing equipment sets of exercises, only refers to the narrow sense of martial arts.

Traditionally, the martial arts are generally divided into internal and external boxing according to the training method. To put it plainly, the external fist main training sinews and bones skin, from the outside to the inside practice,; internal fist main training spirit, from the inside to the outside practice. According to the inheritance, there are hundreds of styles. In addition, according to regional and cultural forms, there are Shaolin Wudang Emei Kongdong and so on.

These traditional classifications have their own reasons, but for those who do not understand the martial arts amateur, enthusiasts or beginners, and can not make a clear understanding of what is martial arts. Therefore, I have broadly categorized martial arts into six major types in the hope that I can make it clear what the martial arts we are practicing now are.

One artistic gymnastics type of martial arts. The main practitioners are professional wushu athletes and young people who are ready to develop towards specialization, with the goal of participating in official wushu competitions to get good results. This type of martial arts is in the traditional martial arts boxing equipment sets based on the adaptation, through the gymnastics experts to guide the formation of a high degree of difficulty coefficient of the standard beauty of the martial arts routines, divided into the provisions of boxing, optional boxing and adapted traditional boxing, especially the first two. The three main categories that are officially advocated are Long Fist, Southern Fist and Taijiquan. Take taijiquan for example, if you let the judges score, it is estimated that Yang Lu Chan, Yang Banhou in the world, can not compare with the current taijiquan champion.

Second broadcast gymnastics type of martial arts. The main practitioners for amateur martial arts practitioners, the goal is to health and fitness and participate in amateur martial arts competitions, to enrich the amateur life. This type of martial arts is mainly the state in the community in the elderly and universities and colleges and universities to promote the provisions of taijiquan routines as well as folk martial arts enthusiasts practicing some of the traditional boxing routines. It is characterized by the fact that it technically simulates the artistic gymnastic type of wushu, but with a low coefficient of difficulty, which makes it easy to popularize and promote. To put it bluntly, compared with the previous type, one for professional and one for amateur, is the difference between artistic gymnastics and broadcast gymnastics.

Three dance theater type martial arts. The main practitioners for opera, film and television and other martial arts actors and amateur performers. This type of martial arts is the product of some martial arts action combined with dance Beijing theater martial arts skills. Such as Hong Kong and Taiwan and other martial arts films are popular around the world rely on this type of martial arts.

Four internal and external kung fu type martial arts. The main practitioners for some folk martial arts inheritors, boxers and some professional military police, bodyguards. Kung fu is roughly divided into internal and external kung fu. External Kung Fu such as hard Kung Fu (Iron Palm Kung Fu, Iron Head Kung Fu, Iron Arm Kung Fu, Iron Crotch Kung Fu, etc.), soft Kung Fu (Child Kung Fu, Bone Shrinking Kung Fu, Soft Bone Kung Fu, etc.), Strong Kung Fu (strength-based training for palms, fingers, wrists, arms, waists, legs and other parts of the body), and Light Kung Fu (rare); and Internal Kung Fu such as Qigong (training of breathing), Pile Kung Fu (staking training), and the practice of developing strength (whole strength, internal strength, etc.). Kung fu, especially internal kung fu, is the essence of Chinese martial arts, the real power of Chinese martial arts, but also the most mysterious, incredible or will make many people feel less credible. It is also the most mysterious, the most incredible or the most believable for many people, because the practice of Kung Fu has explored the potential of human beings, or developed certain supernormal capabilities in the human body. It can be said that Kung Fu is an extremely valuable asset left by our ancestors to their children and grandchildren, who are mostly less confident and more skeptical. On the contrary, some foreign martial arts enthusiasts more and more recognize the power of Chinese kung fu.

Five practical combat martial arts. The main practitioners for sparring athletes, professional military police, bodyguards and folk traditional skills inheritors. Modern Chinese Sanshou movement is said to be the martial arts experts will be the Chinese traditional martial arts in the technical reference to foreign boxing formed a real combat sports, with a strong technical, but whether it is from the training method or from the actual combat technology, obviously can not show and play the really good Chinese kung fu. Let's say, Chinese medicine and western medicine have different treatment ideas, you have to western medicine treatment principle with Chinese medicine to cure, and the name of the combination of Chinese and western, then its effect is certainly greatly reduced. The folk traditional martial arts skills inheritors can inherit the outstanding skills of the ancestors more completely, but due to the conservative heritage, the rigidity of the teaching model, the training conditions and combat opportunities on the limitations as well as most of the Chinese lack of confidence in their own traditional culture, it is difficult to produce a large number of talents. In a word, the main difference between modern Sanda and traditional Sanda is that the latter is based on internal and external kung fu martial arts while the former is not. So to speak, even if the practice of traditional martial arts, if not out of kung fu, combat can not be regarded as a real traditional sparring; if you can practice kung fu, even in boxing into the foreign boxing, should be considered traditional sparring.

Sixth, the Tao of enlightenment type of martial arts. Internal and external kung fu type of martial arts for combat became a combat technique type of martial arts, if used to enhance their physical and mental realm, the development of their own physical and mental functions is the cultivation type of martial arts. In the past, there was a saying that kung fu was divided into martial arts, qigong, internal kung fu, Taoist kung fu and Zen kung fu. Cultivation and enlightenment-type martial arts include Taoist and Zen kung fu. Taoist kung fu is to explore one's own potential to gain divine powers, and Zen kung fu is to realize the Way with the power of determination.

These six types of martial arts are only analyzed theoretically, but in practice, some practitioners tend to practice one type of martial arts in addition to others.
