Xingyiquan is a kind of internal boxing, and it is straightforward. In fact, both fists are good, and no one is good or bad.
Xingyiquan has the following characteristics: ① Simple and simple, with straight movements, distinct rhythm, unpretentious and full of natural beauty. (2) The action is tight and compact, "the hand is like a steel file, and the hand is like a hook rod", "The elbow does not leave tendons, and the hand does not centrifuge". When you punch, you twist and drill, which is closely consistent with your posture and footwork. Your whole body is like a rope and you never slack off. (3) Calm and steady, upright, steady in pace, "step like a plow, stay like a root", requiring a broad chest and a solid belly, sinking into the belly, being rigid but not stiff, soft but not soft, stretching and sinking. ④ Quick and complete, Xingyiquan requires "six in one", that is, heart and mind, heart and qi, qi and strength, shoulders and hips, elbows and knees, hands and feet. The action emphasizes the upper body, hands and feet together, and the hair is coming, one inch first. There is a saying in boxing proverbs that "the wind blows, the arrow falls, and the knockout is too slow". Xingyiquan pays attention to "three sections" and "eight essentials". The three sections are: "Starting from the tip section, continuing in the middle section and urging in the root section". From the whole body, the head and upper limbs are the tip nodes, the trunk is the middle node, and the lower limbs are the root nodes; The upper limb takes the hand as the pointed joint, the elbow as the middle joint and the shoulder as the root joint; The lower limbs are divided into hip, knee and foot. Only by meeting the requirements of the three sections can we ensure the integrity of the whole body and the integration of inside and outside. Eight ruo: three tops (overhead, there are towering males; The top of the hand has the power to push the mountain; On the tip of the tongue, there is a swallowing ability), three buttons (shoulder button, and then the strength reaches the elbow; When the knee is buckled, the whole body is full of gas; When the fingers of the hands and feet are interlocked, the strength of the whole body is thick), tri-circle (round chest, round back and round jaw), tri-sensitivity (sensitive heart, sensitive eyes and sensitive hands), tri-embrace (holding abdomen, heart and rib), tri-drape (hanging shoulders, elbows and breath) and tri-bend (bending arms and legs). In this way, you can ensure that the posture of all parts of your body stretches correctly. Xingyiquan contains rich technical and tactical contents, emphasizing the fighting consciousness of daring to fight and winning. As the saying goes, "When you meet an enemy, you have a master, and you are not afraid of danger." . In tactical thinking, it advocates being quick and sudden, focusing on oneself, taking the initiative in combat, "attacking without preparation, taking it by surprise" and "deliberately not forming, forming will not win" In terms of attack and defense technology, it advocates close attack and fast attack to seize the favorable position, "eyes should be poisonous, hearts should be treacherous, feet should be stuck in the middle of the door", "if you enter, you will flash, if you enter, you will flash, and you don't have to go far". Xingyiquan advocates the use of head, shoulders, elbows, hands, hips, knees and feet, which can be issued everywhere. "If you are far away, you will get started, and if you are near, you will add elbows; Kick with your feet at a distance, and knees at a close distance ",which requires the combination of reality and reality, knowing yourself and your enemy, and walking with your camera. You can't be unrestrained, so that you can't punch, unintentionally and unintentionally", which is considered to be excellent kung fu. Xingyiquan's attack theory has six principles, namely, skill (cleverness), fluency (naturalness), courage (decisiveness), swiftness (suddenness), ruthlessness (unforgiving) and truthfulness (making it difficult for the enemy to escape), which is called "Six-Party Magic". These six principles play a guiding role in cultivating offensive and defensive awareness and training technical skills.
Xingyiquan stresses strength training. The 1 step of Kung Fu is to "improve its foundation, strengthen its body and make its bones as hard as stone", which lays a good foundation for the improvement of technology, and is called "Jin Ming Kung Fu". The second step is to practice "dark and vigorous kungfu", which requires complete body, combining rigidity with softness, concentration, unity of form and spirit, taking intention as the conductor and qi as the force. It can be seen that Xingyiquan has very high requirements for various physiological functions of the human body. Xingyiquan is impartial and flexible, and people of different constitutions can engage in exercise.
Eight-pole boxing takes the head and foot as the dry Kun, the shoulders, knees, elbows and hips are square, the two arms are opposite, and the abdomen is in the middle, which means making a door. Leading god with intention, destroying power with spirit, combining three sets of six points inside and outside, is magnificent, exerting strength in all directions through eyes, covering with hands, changing when moving, changing into spirit, and endless. Bajiquan pays great attention to the practice of attack and defense techniques. In usage, pay attention to "touching, hitting, squeezing and leaning". When we see a crack, if there is a crack, we will drill. If you don't talk, you won't fight.
Octupole boxing is a kind of short boxing, which is extremely stiff and fierce. In attack and defense technology, it is important to cut an inch and take an inch, and to fight hard and open hard. It really has the characteristics of being beaten, helped, squeezed, leaned, collapsed and shaken. Exerting force on the heel, walking around the waist and running through the fingertips, it is extremely explosive and full of the characteristics of martial arts. Because of its vigorous, unpretentious and explosive action, octupole boxing has the tendency of "shaking its arm against the sky and stamping its foot against Kyushu". Therefore, there is a saying that "literature has Tai Chi to secure the world, and martial arts has Eight Extremes to secure the world".
Bajiquan is famous for its powerful boxing style, as well as its fighting action. "Tieshan wants to see" is one of the best. When practicing "leaning on the mountain", octupole disciples often use their bodies to lean against walls, trees and piles, and their power can be imagined. The key to sticking to the mountain is to enter the body, approach the opponent with the distance of "hitting people like kissing" and hit each other with the shoulder. It seems that the shoulder is the stress point, but in fact, it combines the torsional force of the waist and hip and leans to the other side with the whole body force, which is extremely harmful and makes people fall. "Open the door to shoot, six forces in one", the strength of the six major opening, in the octupole boxing "stick to the mountain" above, showing incisively and vividly. In the next set of kung fu, "rubbing and kicking" is one of the important leg techniques of octupole boxing. Eight-pole boxing pays attention to "walking like mud, but the feet are not above the knees." And rubbing and kicking is the embodiment of this footwork. He asked the attack point to fall below the opponent's knee, especially the foot. Therefore, although rubbing and kicking is not as lethal as other leg methods, it is intended to destroy the center of gravity of the opponent's feet with kicking and tripping, and skillfully achieve the effect of knocking down the opponent with weak power.
In addition, octupole boxing is a kind of boxing that emphasizes the combination of actual combat and combat training. Hard throwing and opening the opponent's door are the biggest characteristics of octupole boxing. It has strong practical value, and the grasping, throwing and hitting in the army and the armed police have absorbed some characteristics of octupole boxing.
The spirit of octupole boxing pays attention to the 16-character formula, that is, "loyalty to the liver, righteousness and bravery, giving one's life as a shield, giving one's life without danger", so Puyi, Chiang Kai-shek, Mao Zedong and others all use the descendants of octupole boxing as bodyguards.
