Five elements boxing (chop, jump, drill, cannon, cross) and twelve-shaped boxing (dragon, tiger, monkey, horse, chicken, harrier, swallow, snake, snake, leopard, tapir, eagle and bear) are the basic boxing methods, and the piling method is based on the three-body style. In some areas of Shanxi, "standing on the abdomen" and "six-in-one" are the basic pile methods. Other single-training routines include five-element serial, miscellaneous hammer, stereotyped boxing, four-handed boxing, twelve-flood hammer, entering and leaving the hole, five-element mutual hair, Long Hudou, eight-character kung fu, upper, middle and lower eight hands. There are three pistols, five flower guns, anesthesia guns and nine collars in the training routine. The practice of instruments is mainly based on knives, guns, swords and sticks, and most of them are named after Sanhe, Liuhe, Lianhuan and Sancai. Xingyiquan, which is popular in Henan, is often called "Mind Boxing". The basic boxing methods are ten styles (dragon, tiger, chicken, eagle, snake, horse, cat, monkey, harrier and swallow) and four styles (head boxing, collar picking, eagle catching and hand sticking). There are chicken leg piles and eagle bear piles. There are Long Hudou, Eleven in One, Upper, Middle and Lower Four in single training routines. Xingyiquan, which is popular all over the country, has its own characteristics in style besides different technical contents. For example, Xingyiquan in Hebei province stretches steadily; Xingyiquan, which is popular in Shanxi, is compact and delicate. Psychological boxing in Henan province is brave and powerful. Xingyiquan in Song Dynasty has the following characteristics: ① unpretentious, with straight movements, sharp rhythm, unpretentious and full of natural beauty. (2) the action is tight and compact. "Hands are like steel files, hands are like hooks", "elbows are not separated from tendons, hands are not centrifugal". 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 essentials: top (head, palm, tongue), buckle (shoulder, back, instep, teeth), round (chest, back, jaws), sensitive (heart, eyes, hands), hug (belly hug, heart hug, rib hug). 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 offensive and defensive techniques, we advocate close combat and fast attack to seize the favorable position. "Eyes should be poisonous, hearts should be treacherous, and feet should be stuck in the middle of the door." "If you enter, you will flash, and you won'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 (artfulness), fluency (naturalness), courage (decisiveness), swiftness (suddenness), cruelty (unkindness) 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, but the style of play is just and flexible. People with different physiques can exercise, which is also adopted in medical sports.
