Chapter 214: Bone Rises and Flesh Falls
"Isn't it a good idea!" Liao Jiayi finished speaking, got up from the chair, walked to the open space of the restaurant, and did all the essentials that Wu Lang had just said.
Wu Lang nodded secretly when he saw it, and said in his heart: This thing is really a martial arts wizard, I will say it again, but this character is too unacceptable, alas, who can have no shortcomings? Anyway, I won't marry her, why do you love her!
"Did I do the right thing?" Liao Jiayi sat back in her seat, took Wu Lang's arm, and smiled.
"Yes, all right, nothing wrong, genius!" Wu Lang said with a smile.
"Come, sister and you will go one. After Liao Jiayi finished speaking, she picked up the big sea bowl, touched Wu Lang's wine bowl, raised her head and drank it all.
"Sister, will you stop?" Aaron hasn't finished yet. Liao Nanxing muttered.
"Doctor Wu, please continue your explanation, my brother can't wait!" Liao Jiayi squeezed her eyes at Wu Lang and said.
Wu Lang finished drinking and said with a smile: "The emphasis on practicing boxing is to understand boxing, and the importance of understanding boxing is to find feelings, for example, the inner feeling of Taijiquan is the boxing theory that practitioners will understand, the embodiment of practicing the "upper body", and the sublimation of "understanding" to "understanding". Therefore, the inner feeling when boxing, reflects the level of boxing practitioners, is related to whether we can enter the hall of martial arts, the key to get the best results, with the inner feeling, we can enjoy the joy of boxing progress; ”
For example, to have the feeling of "bone rising and flesh falling", that is, it refers to the feeling that the practitioner's skeleton is upright and upright, and the flesh is soft and falling, people belong to the earth's creatures, and the flesh will naturally be affected by the earth's gravity and sink, and the reason why people can stand is all supported by the bones upwards, so it is inevitable for human beings to overcome the earth's gravity and move, but whether they can have the feeling of "bones rising and flesh falling" in the practice of boxing is another matter, and only when your body and mind are really relaxed, can you experience this feeling. ”
Liao Nanxing's eyes lit up when he heard this, nodded, and hurriedly said, "Ah Lang, tell me specifically, okay?"
Liao Aotian and Mrs. Liao, the Zuo brothers, nodded and smiled silently.
Liao Jiayi diligently poured a bowl of wine for Wu Lang, and brought it to his eyes with both hands, Wu Lang glanced at her, took the wine bowl, raised his head and drank it all, looked at Liao Nanxing, and said with a smile: ""Bone rises and flesh falls" reveals the relationship between bone and flesh during boxing, that is, the separation of bone and flesh, "bone and flesh separation" is the feeling of bone rising, meat falling, and loose joints during boxing, just like a boneless chicken, as long as the chicken skeleton is lifted and shaken, the chicken will fall off from the bone, and having this feeling means that your muscles are not tightly wrapped around the bones, and they are already in a relaxed state. ”
The sinking of the flesh marks the "loose", the upright of the skeleton marks the "rigid", and the feeling of "bone rising and flesh falling" is found for opening the door of "rigidity and softness" in boxing. ”
"There is also the feeling of their own weight, which means that when practicing boxing, we feel that the limbs are like weight, because people are born to move under the gravity of the earth, so that they lose their awareness of the weight of their limbs, we only have a sense of weight when we are under external load, for example, carrying a bucket of water, if you feel the heaviness of the limbs when practicing boxing, it means that your body is really relaxed, the better the state of relaxation, the greater the degree of loosening of the shoulders and hips, the greater the heaviness of the limbs. ”
This feeling of heaviness is the result of gravity on the limbs after the stiffness is removed and the body and mind are relaxed, so there is a saying of "from loose to sinking", which shows that "sinking" is the verification of "loose", "the center of the earth is the third master", "the sole of the foot is the third guest auxiliary", emphasizing the gravity to "dominate" the boxing, that is, using its own gravity and the reaction force of the ground to promote the boxing. This sentence highlights the relationship between the center of the earth and the soles of the feet, sinking from the feet and lifting from the feet, "sinking" is to conform to gravity, and "lifting" is to use the reaction force of the ground. ”
"Shen and Ti should take advantage of the change of the fist momentum and change, when the momentum is Shen, the soles of the feet are planted and rooted, which is conducive to striking the opponent, and the earth is used to attract; In this way, relying on the virtual and real changes of the body to conform to the gravitational force and rebound force of the earth through the soles of the feet, the potential energy of the earth is transformed into the power of fist training. Therefore, being able to make good use of one's own gravity and rebound force to perform boxing, and find the ups and downs of the body "like water carrying a boat", can be regarded as entering the door of boxing. ”
Liao Aotian and Mrs. Liao, the Zuo brothers, all nodded frequently and smiled without saying a word.
"Is there anything else?" asked Liao Nanxing.
Wu Lang took a deep breath and said with a smile: "'Spine boxing' refers to the way of boxing with the spine as the initiative and the hands and feet as the followers. Learning boxing is to use the hands and feet to box, so that it is a local force and stiffness, and then learn to use the belt spine, play the pivotal role of the waist, and then with the deepening of kung fu, the "waist" will gradually grow: first with the hips into one, with the waist and hips to drive the hands and feet, and then the spine stretches up and down, forming a connection between Baihui and the bottom of the sea acupoint of the body axis, also known as the "vertical line", arms and legs seem to be tied to the central axis of the body, when boxing the limbs move under the drive of the central axis, starting from the central axis, and finally the central axis. ”
"Hands do not move the waist for stiff hands, step without waist for dead steps, the upper limbs to experience the feeling of "belt arms", the lower limbs to experience the feeling of "step with the body", we often say "four pieces of loose, the whole body is loose", the key to the relaxation of the whole body lies in the relaxation of the shoulder and hip, in the practice of boxing the spine has three ways of movement, up and down stretching, left and right rotation and front and back relaxation. ”
The "up and down stretching" of the spine makes the S curve of the human spine be properly straightened, can correct the head and neck misalignment and protruding hips, and achieve the body method, the spine's "left and right rotation" is the power source of the fist and the formation of arc action, and the main way for the spine to drive the movement of the limbs, the "front and back relaxation" of the spine is to say that the spine is like a bow back, with the opening and closing of the fist and the tension is sent, and the spine arches slightly back with the inhalation when accumulating the momentum, which is called "swallowing the body"; When practicing boxing, the spine changes with the opening and closing of the fist and the breathing of the fist shows rhythmic relaxation, which is the power source for the formation of the opening and closing of the fist. ”
"Whole body" refers to the overall movement of "one movement and no movement" when practicing boxing, there is no local movement of the body, not only gestures, even a breath, a look, and even a thought, all of which are part of the overall movement of boxing. This holistic view of sports is one of the important features that distinguishes Lianquan from daily life and some other sports. The intermediate stage is to practice qi, which requires the breath to be able to adapt to the changes in the fist, so that the breath and the action complement each other, introduce each other, and the body has a sense of opening and closing. ”
"When the neck muscles are relaxed, the cervical spine is naturally straightened, and the head sits naturally on the cervical spine because the muscles are relaxed. There seems to be a rope hanging on the top of the head, and the head has a slight sense of suspension. Find the one that allows the head to be on the neck shelf, and peel off the muscles in the neck. Before you can not really hang your head, your neck is easy to stiffen, relax your muscles when you feel the stiffness of your neck, straighten your head, use the gravitational force of the earth, and put your head on the shelf of the cervical vertebrae. ”
"The most nervous thing when practicing boxing is the face, and the tension of the face also reflects the stiffness of the body, only when the face is really relaxed, your spirit can really relax, you can be immersed in the reflection and listening, it is also very important to loosen the shoulders, every time you move a point to re-experience, if the state of relaxation changes, readjust to loose, after the arm can be released, the weight of the arm is embellished in the shoulder joint, so you will feel that the arm is weighty, and the shoulder joint will slowly loosen after a certain period of accumulation. ”
