1. Similarities between Wing Chun Boxing and Tai Ji Chuan
In ancient times, there was a saying that there was Tai Chi in the north and Wing Chun in the south. Tai Ji Chuan and Wing Chun Quan were both born in the late Qing Dynasty, with similar time and historical origins of learning from each other. Indeed, there is a faint connection between the two, and there are similarities between achievements and boxing. Let's get rid of the fog of history and explore the essence of traditional Wushu from a higher level, which is conducive to Wushu exchange, learning from each other and learning from each other.
Wing Chun Boxing is a two-character pincer, and Ye Wen's wing Chun Boxing is an inner eight-character footwork, with two toes intersecting at an angle of 60 degrees. This kind of footwork is also included in the eight diagrams palm, which aims at stability, and then transmits the force to the hands through the transmission of ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows and wrists. Similarly, Tai Chi Chuan added the concept of waist and hip in its execution, saying that "Qi is like a nine-curved bead", and also emphasized that power originates from the ground and runs through one power point after another.
Wing Chun Boxing is "expanding the waist and locking the hip", while Tai Ji Chuan is turning the waist to the hip. Empty waist is to straighten the lumbar spine, that is, with the position of Mingmen point as the center of gravity, the upper vertebra is pulled up and the lower pelvis is sunk, forming a pulling trend, which the ancients called "crossing three levels". Straightening the lumbar spine is called empty waist, and straightening the thoracic spine with sternal subsidence is called empty chest. This truth is like a door shaft and an axle. You can't turn until the shaft is straight. Therefore, an empty waist is a hip turn, and an empty chest is a shoulder turn. Turning your waist and hips can send out a spiral force, which can change your center of gravity and destroy the other person's center of gravity. The same is true for loose shoulders and falling elbows. The purpose is to pull the shoulders apart, so that the qi sinks, and the center of gravity shifts from the lower part of the chest and abdomen to the lower part of the abdomen, so that the force borrowed from the ground can be smoothly transferred to the hands through the spine.
In addition, the posture of Wing Chun Boxing is very similar to that of Wu-style Tai Ji Chuan holding seven stars and Chen-style Tai Ji Chuan clapping. Its application rules all emphasize the midline principle, and all shots must take a spiral, paying attention to both rigidity and softness, and cannot be deadlocked.
Second, the difference between Wing Chun Quan and Tai Ji Chuan.
Wing Chun Boxing and Tai Ji Chuan have similarities in achievement and boxing, which does not mean that Wing Chun Boxing and Tai Ji Chuan are the same in training methods and techniques. There are many differences between the two boxing methods. Tai Chi, for example, is round from the track, and pays attention to variable force, gravity and relay. Wing Chun Boxing is probably the shortest distance. It pays special attention to the principle of midline, chasing the shape to the face, not chasing the hand, and taking the gun in a similar way. For another example, although both fists say "soft-hearted", Tai Ji Chuan demands "not hard intention" and "influencing four or two strokes", while Wing Chun is not so detailed.
For another example, wing chun boxing requires inch strength and listening strength, which is the explosive force and bright strength of the human body, and the listening strength is regional to the palm, wrist, elbow and arm. Tai Ji Chuan pays attention to the understanding of Jin Daojing, requiring bright strength, dark strength, long strength, short strength, turning strength, attracting strength, connecting strength and whole body listening and moving. Every gesture is Tai Chi, and it is distributed wherever it is taken. Although Tai Ji Chuan also has an inch of strength, this inch of strength is different from Wing Chun. It is the shaking of abdominal qi that runs through the whole body, and it is a high combination of god, mind, qi and force. ?
Third,
By comparing the attacking methods of Wing Chun Quan and Tai Ji Chuan, it is considered that it is very feasible and beneficial for Wing Chun Quan and Tai Ji Chuan to learn from each other's strong points in attacking actions. Teacher Liang, who won the first 85kg champion of Tai Ji Chuan Wing Chun Rescue Challenge in Foshan, Guangzhou, Hongkong and Macau in 2000, said: "First of all, Wing Chun and Tai Ji Chuan have many similarities in practice. Tai Ji Chuan takes the frame as the body, using Sanshou and pushing the hand in the middle. Wing Chun Boxing is based on routine, Sanda is used, and snipe hand is in between. Secondly, in terms of posture, Tai Ji Chuan has "hitting and squeezing", "leaning on the elbow" and "looking forward and looking back", while Wing Chun's posture includes ploughing and blocking, pushing and pulling, pestering and bumping, bending his hand to stay in the middle, cutting and rushing, and occupying the bridge with the bridge. In fact, the meaning of martial arts is very similar. Technically, more like it. For example, Wing Chun Boxing's most characteristic hand-spreading, hand-spreading/hand-leaving is like the positive entanglement of Tai Chi, and hand-spreading/hand-taking is like the reverse entanglement of Tai Chi. Wing Chun has spiral strength, and Tai Ji Chuan has silk-binding strength. Psychologically speaking, the constant elimination and quick play of Wing Chun Boxing are exactly the same as Tai Ji Chuan's entry and lateness. "
It is precisely because Wing Chun Boxing and Tai Ji Chuan, a famous boxing in the north and south, have many similar boxing theories, so the combination of the two boxing methods in actual combat has a good innate foundation. Wing Chun Boxing sticks to the opponent's hand with the perception of arm board in fighting, and strikes the opponent with plough, block, fist and hand spread. However, sometimes the two will fight. At this time, Chen Tai Ji Chuan's quick fall played a big role. Spiral force is used to throw the opponent, and brute force can't be used in wrestling.
In the practice of combining Wing Chun Boxing with Tai Ji Chuan, what I have the deepest experience is that taking the short shot of Wing Chun Boxing, combined with Tai Ji Chuan's silk-wrapped bounce, the first step is to seek straightness on the curve, use short bridges and narrow horses to make the opponent's attack dissolve, and then Tai Ji Chuan twists his waist, and the curve is forced by taking a straight turn or elbowing, combined with the impression of Foshan Wing Chun Boxing, martial arts and Chen Taiji's fast fall. The strength of the two kinds of boxing is basically the same, but the difference is that many techniques of Wing Chun Boxing are inward rotation and direct attack, taking a very thin inner circle, while Chen Taiji Chuan is outward rotation and taking a big circle, which is why the two kinds of boxing are just complementary in the mutual reference of North and South Wushu.
For example, wing chun is Bruce Lee's most famous winning skill. The style of hook is that the wrist is buckled outward and the finger is downward, so that the hand forms a steel hook and hooks the other hand away from the human meridian. When in use, the wrist will not be full of strength in the whole process, and the trinity of looseness, softness and rigidity is just right. Of course, it is a complete way to sing the praises of spring by changing the hook-missing hand into the cross-palm. If combined with Tai Chi, you can knock the opponent to the ground with a hook and a missed hand after destroying the opponent's attack point, which is very effective. For another example, in Wing Chun's hands, for example, the hands can completely control the opponent's straight hammer and all the soles of the feet in detached and close combat, and rely on wrist strength to hit the opponent's hand bridge and legs when using. For example, when you are fighting away from your body, your opponent will give you a punch in the face in an instant. When your opponent's fist is coming, you hit the diagonal lower part of his fist with your hand, which is similar to the reverse entanglement of Tai Chi, but the line is much shorter, and then you hit your opponent in the other direction. This is the most instinctive style of wing chun boxing. If you want to knock your opponent to the ground, it is logical to combine the posture of Tai Chi. You can bend over to lead your opponent to fail first, and your hand will bounce back and turn around, plus the upward stroke of your legs and feet will spiral it down.
To put it simply, this is to change * * * Tai Chi * * into playing * * * Wing Chun * *, and then change from playing * * * Wing Chun * * into throwing * * * Tai Chi * * *, and combine the two organically and comprehensively. When these two boxing methods are practiced together, there will be many grip methods and reverse grip methods, which are the reaction of the internal and external rotation forces generated by the combination of spiral force and wire winding force in the two boxing methods, and users will have a handy perception in sports. As long as the user does not withdraw his hand immediately when answering, but puts his hand straight in and locks the joint by grasping, he can land by pushing. If you are caught by your opponent, you can also use Wing Chun to solve the problem and catch your opponent at the same time. The way to solve the grip with wing chun boxing is very simple. As long as you center your elbow first, then lean sideways to let your opponent into your net, you can knock down with Tai Chi in reverse.
A famous wing chun teacher said: "Some wing chun practitioners tend to deny pushing hands, either because they haven't practiced enough or because they have misheard the letter. They think pushing hands is useless or useless. When pushing hands, they often ask such a question,' What would you do with pushing hands if I hit you'. In fact, there is a problem here, which is how to define the nature of sales. In fact, selling hands and hitting people belongs to Sanshou, which is no longer the concept of pushing hands. There is no way to solve it with pushing hands. There is only one word that can be solved: fight. If we borrow the theory of wing chun quan, it is called "cutting hands and going straight", that is, in the process of taking over, when we perceive that our opponent is leaving us or getting rid of it, we should not pursue him, but attack him directly. The purpose of pushing hands training is also here. The difference here is this perception. Whoever has a high perception ability can take the initiative in the process of taking over and selling, and from the perspective of training programs, the pusher trainer should have an advantage. "
Perception is very important in internal boxing. There is a saying in Taiji Chuanmen that "a feather can't be added and a fly can't fall", from which we can see what this requirement and realm are, and this kind of perceptual training is indispensable. Therefore, in addition to Sanshou fighting, pushing hands is included in one of the training items separately to train inner strength and perception. As far as Wing Chun practitioners are concerned, according to the current training plan, their hand-sticking training has the nature of getting rid of hands, which relatively reduces the training time of pushing hands. Under the same conditions, it is certainly not as effective as training Tai Ji Chuan's pushers to improve their induction ability. This is the weakness and deficiency of Wing Chun's current popular training methods. It is necessary to break the stereotype, fundamentally clarify the relationship between pushing hands, selling hands and Sanshou, guide their respective training purposes, learn from each other's strengths and form the most reasonable training system. Therefore, here, everyone will understand that it is not perfect to practice only pushing hands, and it is not perfect to practice only selling hands. Pushing hands, selling hands and Sanshou, together with the corresponding martial arts training system and even the philosophy system, are the complete martial arts.
Fourth, the combination of internal and external, brushwork.
We should pay attention to the combination of these two boxing methods, don't blindly pursue moves, we must work hard on strength. If you don't get rid of your own rigidity and relax your waist and hips, you can't effectively resolve your opponent's strength, but you will be hit hard by the other side. We should spare a lot of time to practice the reaction of Wing Chun Boxing, and we should not ignore Tai Ji Chuan's waist and leg skills. So in the final analysis, it is also to achieve the goal of "combining rigidity with softness, both internal and external".
According to the feedback from some Fujian Wing Chun practitioners, they learned Gong Zhuang's * * * non-pole pile technique, open pile technique, lunge Gong Zhuang, Gong Zhuang's "Ma bu" or horse stance just look, Gong Zhuang's imaginary step, Geng Jin Gong Zhuang's * * *, hip technique * * * hip holding technique, hip dropping technique, hip opening technique, hip collapsing technique, hip sitting technique, hip bending technique and hip holding technique.
Mr. Liang, a famous teacher of Wing Chun Boxing, said: "Everyone in Wulin knows that there has never been an invincible' trick'. The so-called boxing has no definite formula, and it is good kung fu that any move can defeat the enemy in actual combat. It is better to know more than not to make progress, and it is better to talk more than to explore and practice. " I just want to enlighten Tai Ji Chuan Wushu lovers and Wing Chun practitioners by sorting out this clumsy article, and think about how these two profound North-South boxing methods can be better integrated and applied. Che Chen Xing, a master of Neijia Boxing, said: "In the exploration and training of traditional Wushu,' eclecticism' and' learning from others' are not only learning means to improve skills and broaden horizons, but also a kind of mind and tolerance. The premise of' eclecticism' and' learning from others' is to master a sect systematically, and on this basis, draw inferences from others and practice mastery, so as to learn from others' strengths, learn from others' strengths and absorb the strengths of a hundred schools for our use. " It is true that the hardships of learning and practicing traditional Wushu can only be realized by enthusiastic boxers who make efforts.
