China's martial arts can be used in actual combat
Continued 2) 4, I know that many people who practice modern martial arts today criticize Wing Chun, but do you know the current situation of Leung Ting's development of Wing Chun abroad? According to the information, the International Wing Chun Association has more than 4,000 branches, covering more than 60 countries and regions around the world. Among them, the development of Europe is the most prosperous, followed by North America and other countries, especially in many countries in Eastern and Western Europe, almost completely and comprehensively accept the skills and martial arts culture of Leung Ting Wing Chun, so as to understand its subtlety and essence; In Hungary, Poland, Lithuania, Germany, Austria and other countries, Leung Ting's Wing Chun has even become a compulsory course for most SWAT teams, special forces in the army, and EU SWAT teams. Quite legendary, there is a foreigner who owns more than 6,000 Wing Chun gyms in Europe, with more than 1 million students. And this legendary figure is Liang Ting's big apprentice in Europe, Jian Jifu.
Also, a "Wing Chun Tong" martial arts gym in Midtown Manhattan, New York, USA, founded by Alex Richter, whose Chinese name is Wei Tuo. At the age of 15, he began learning Wing Chun in the Seattle area. In 2002, Wei Tuo opened the "Wing Chun Tong" martial arts gym in Manhattan, New York. Vedic has today become one of the most famous Wing Chun masters in North America. When it comes to Wing Chun, Vedic is like a treasure and has his own deep understanding. "Wing Chun is a very practical martial arts ......Wing Chun is a very practical form of boxing. For Wing Chun, Vedic said.
The above is just a corner of the development of Wing Chun in foreign countries. There are many, many such examples, and the list goes on and on, which can really make us jaw-dropping. And even nowadays, it is common to see foreign students in some martial arts halls in China, and at the same time, there are often martial arts masters who are respected by these students and invited to teach abroad and treat them like guests.
Speaking of this, I think we may have an obvious answer to the soul torture question I raised above, that is, the huge influence of China's martial arts in the world is precisely because of its practicality, that is, the actual combat brought about. Because a consensus is that the vast majority of foreigners are very practical, simple and direct, do not like to pretend to be ghosts, tricks and tricks, in martial arts, they even respect real kung fu, and see the real chapter under their hands, only when they are beaten and obeyed, they will learn your good things and practical things in turn. They learn our martial arts, obsessed with our martial arts, the charm of Chinese culture is one aspect, another important aspect is that the martial arts can fight, can be actually used in technical strikes, and in fact, our martial arts, on the contrary, in their hands to the extreme. Therefore, we can be sure that the huge influence of China's military transmission in the world is due to its practicality, that is, the actual combat nature.
5. I would like to talk about the actual combat of Chuanwu from the existence of these special martial arts cultures.
It is not only a record of the continuous movements of martial arts, but also reflects the unique techniques, boxing theory and style of different types of boxing, as well as the practice methods, the key points of boxing, the method of use, etc., which is a valuable material for future generations to study the traditional martial arts culture.
Chinese martial arts have a long history and a long history, and there are many traditional sects, many martial arts schools have their fist spectrum secrets, but they have been passed on inside and outside, and they are not announced, especially after the martial arts world was affected in the special historical period of the "Cultural Revolution", there were almost no people who practiced martial arts in the society at that time. In the 80s, the development of the national martial arts excavation and sorting work, which won the hearts of the people, was enthusiastically supported by the entire martial arts community. From 1982 to 1986, the former State Sports Commission carried out a first-class range of boxing excavation work and identified 129 types of boxing. Some extremely precious ancient folk boxing books have been published.
I have an old boxing book in hand, called "The Secret of Shaolin Boxing". It is all about practice, usage, and skill, which is the brainchild of the predecessors of martial arts in ancient times after repeated actual battles. Through this old boxing book, I vaguely saw the posture of the old warriors galloping in the shadow of the sword and sword, rushing left and right.
In addition, the development of Chinese martial arts for thousands of years has also left a large number of martial arts proverbs, which are also valuable cultural heritage of Chinese martial arts. These martial arts proverbs are catchy and concise, and some people commented that "their content includes all aspects of practice, technical attack, strategy, courage, martial virtues, etc., guiding the basic attitude of martial arts, related theories, technical points, training secrets, and even the truth of actual combat, as well as the cultivation of martial artists ......and so on.""I couldn't agree more. The content of martial arts proverbs is too rich, and here are a few of them for reference:
The fist is light and the palm is heavy.
The elbow is not separated from the ribs, and the fist is not centrifuged.
Punching is not empty, and emptying is not possible.
If you are intentional about it, you will not win.
Tend to avoid the mustache and see the opportunity left and right.
Neighbors are in advance, and it is true that their hands and feet are together.
If you don't draw a circle, you can't make a fist, and the enemy can't stop it.
The foot comes to raise the knee, and the knee is used when it is near, and the person retreats and kicks.
When encountering the enemy, it is like burning yourself, and you can fight hard and enter without shelter.
Stepping on the middle door to seize the position, even the gods are difficult to prevent.
The hand rises like an arrow and falls like the wind, chasing the wind and catching the moon do not relax.
One is ruthless, two poisonous, and three are fatal, and when you see nothing, you will be merciless.
Fight hard, fight fast and slow, long fight short, hard fight soft.
Hit the yang on the top, hit the yin on the bottom, hit the ribs on both sides, and hit the heart in the middle.
Use your hands far away and your elbows closer. It is better to change hands than elbows.
Follow the trend of people, and the power of people. He will come to me, and he will go with me.
He is oblique and I am right, and he is oblique and I am oblique. With static braking, the rear strikes.
Don't be afraid to punch, afraid to punch or not. Punch to dodge, punch to track.
Retreat is a false retreat, and a real retreat is defeat. Step by step, the world is invincible.
Three fists are difficult to block one palm, three palms are difficult to block one elbow, three elbows are difficult to block one tip, and three tips are difficult to block one finger.
Most of the shots are on the upper body, and the hands and feet are true when they arrive. One momentum and three hands are wonderful, and the elbows, knees and legs are terrifying.
Far away, the hands and feet are up, middle and down, and near are the shoulders, elbows, back, hips, and knees. If you are far away, you will punch and kick, and if you are close, you will grab and hold and fall.
The opponent hits the body like a ball, twists away and turns around without staying, enters like a snake sucking and walking, and the rigidity and softness help each other.
These martial proverbs are all the experience summed up by the ancestors in practical application, guiding the practice of the law, pointing out the way of fighting, and some of them are domineering and vicious, which makes people tremble and tremble when they hear it. From the cultural heritage of these martial proverbs, especially the martial proverbs on technical attack and strategy, we can know that the practicality and actual combat nature of China's martial arts are about to come out, and it is self-evident. This precious cultural heritage of Wuyan is worthy of our attention, excavation and protection, so that its vitality and practical guiding significance can continue to endure.
6. I would like to talk about the actual combat nature of Chuanwu from the formation of the other two techniques in modern times.
Sanda, also known as Sanshou, is a fighting that originated in China, and there are many kinds of names in Chinese dynasties, such as fighting, hand-to-hand fighting, white fighting, dismantling, and technical fighting. Because a variety of confrontations are in the form of rings, they are also known as "fighting rings" in Chinese folklore. Sanda, as a form of martial arts, has a long history that can be traced back to ancient Chinese civilization, and it has shown signs of development and prosperity in different dynasties and is an important part of traditional Chinese culture. With the development of time in modern times, sanda has gradually evolved into a modern martial arts combat sport. In 1928, the first national martial arts examination was held in the National Martial Arts Museum, which opened a new era of modern martial arts fighting. In 1980, the National Sports Commission formulated the rules for sanda competitions, marking that sanda had begun to embark on the road of modern sports competition. It can be seen that modern sanda is an important part of Chinese martial arts, and it is a technique of hand-to-hand combat. Its parent body is the traditional sports treasure of the Chinese nation - martial arts.
In addition, in the late 60s and early 70s of the 20th century, Bruce Lee, a Chinese-American, founded a modern martial art with a unique style and technique - Jeet Kune Do. The establishment of Jeet Kune Do is also because Bruce Lee himself has been influenced by Chinese martial arts culture for a long time, mainly based on the basic boxing principles and training methods of Wing Chun learned in his early years, as well as some other Chinese martial arts techniques and concepts, and blended with the essence of some overseas martial arts, so as to gradually form his own unique theory of martial arts, and create this new type of martial arts with a complete system. Bruce Lee himself is famous in the international martial arts world because of Jeet Kune Do, and he is famous in the international film world because of kung fu movies.
I have a thick copy of "Bruce Lee's Techniques" on hand, and all the ** in the book are demonstrated by Bruce Lee himself. After a comprehensive study of the contents of the book, it is not difficult to come to such a conclusion. Like modern Chinese sanda, Jeet Kune Do is based on traditional Chinese martial arts (especially Wing Chun). It mainly absorbs the midline principle of Wing Chun, the triangle theory, the idea of fighting in one, the concept of simple and direct martial arts, and some unique training methods. On this basis, some of the merits of overseas martial arts were fused, resulting in Jeet Kune Do, a practical system of modern martial arts techniques and training methods. Bruce Lee made no secret of this, and said publicly: "Today, there is no martial art that has been invented and created by individuals." ”
It is conceivable that if China Chuanwu did not have excellent genes, advanced concepts, and quintessential training methods and systems in terms of actual combat skills, China's modern Sanda and Bruce Lee Jeet Kune Do would inevitably abandon it and sweep it into the garbage heap of history. In fact, on the contrary, these two modern technical fighting techniques have absorbed and adopted a large number of the essence of martial arts, and their actual combat effectiveness has also been extremely verified in practice, and they have steadily stepped onto the international stage.
