Where is the road of traditional martial arts II
Qin Zhengxue. I remember when I was a child learning martial arts, I knew that learning martial arts was learning to fight, and in the past, it was called "martial arts".
Martial arts are broadly divided into: 1. Basic skills: exercises for body flexibility, hand shape, technique, step type, footwork, body shape, body style, etc.
2. Routine exercises: It is to put together a reasonable series of various technical movements and practice them. In the process of routine practice, it is necessary to learn the individual style first, and then the whole. It is necessary to grasp the rhythm and adjust the breathing well, and at the same time develop a good sense of attack and defense, so as to lay a good foundation for the next step of learning.
3. Sanshou: Sanshou, also known as Sanda, is the highest level of martial arts. Loose hands are actual combat, and actual combat is the touchstone for testing basic technical movements. In the process of practicing sanshou, the exercises of hitting, blowing, strength, distance, reaction speed, confrontation and so on are added.
In the process of learning martial arts, whether it is basic skills or routines, it is to lay the foundation for actual combat. Aside from actual combat, martial arts lose the practical meaning and value of its existence.
Today, the good things handed down by our ancestors have gradually lost their original colors and embarked on the ranks of dancing and aerobics. This is a deformed development of martial arts. If this continues, martial arts will really become a dance technique. Everyone has seen that the creation of martial arts routines is similar to dance, but it still retains some shadows of martial arts. Most people in the martial arts circle divide martial arts and sanda into two different topics, and even the understanding that the routine is traditional martial arts has gradually formed naturally. The reason for this is the phenomenon caused by the abnormal development of martial arts.
Most young people today have no physical work, no physical exercise .......
Because I am a TCM acupuncture and massage doctor, I come into contact with many young people, and their cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, and lumbar muscle strain are very common. When you move, you breathe. Flustered. Dizziness is like a terminally ill old man. I told them that they should develop the habit of exercising, and that life lies in exercise. Proper exercise will improve your physical fitness. They said we were young, we weren't sick, and we didn't need to exercise. Besides, I don't know what exercise to do. I said, you can't wait until you're old or sick to exercise, then it's too late, you can practice Tai Chi. They are very different, Tai Chi is not an old age exercise! Isn't it too early for us to practice Tai Chi!? Look, this is how ordinary people perceive traditional martial arts. I am a native of the north, and 99% of the people who practice Tai Chi here are middle-aged and elderly. And those who study and practice actual combat are even rarer.
In order to have a good inheritance of traditional martial arts, I hope that all martial arts masters must work actively with a responsible attitude towards their ancestors, abandon backward ideas, and actively absorb modern advanced and useful training methods on the basis of inheritance. Resolutely not stubbornly stick to the old ways, bravely go out, put down the foundation for the inheritance and benign development of traditional martial arts, and walk out of a broader and broader road.
