Off topic, about Wing Chun II

Hua Gong was originally from Chen Village, Shunde, and he also lived in Foshan, and took money as a business, and mixed the number to find Qian Hua. Because of Hua Gong's money-seeking career, he often passes through Xingjitang, so he has the fate of Mr. Shizan. After the completion of the technique, Mr. Yu Zan's former technical service pork was expensive, and his reputation was greatly enhanced. Later, after the death of Mr. Zan, Wah Gong set up a museum on Lian Wah Tei Street to formally teach Wing Chun. However, the method of teaching Wing Chun boxing is different from the general Shaolin boxing, because it needs to go through long-term practice of □ hands, and the best practice of □ hands needs to be taught by individuals, so it is not allowed to teach more, so the Chinese public fees are quite high, so it is not affordable for ordinary people, and the scholars, most of them are the sons of noble families, and there is the title of "Young Master Boxing" at that time. Therefore, it was not widely circulated during the Huagong period.

Those who can obtain the skills of Huagong include Wu Zhongsu, He Hanlu, Lei Ruji, Ip Man and his son Chen Rujin. But those who can promote Wing Chun are the first to recommend Ip Man. Ip Man was originally the son of a famous family in Foshan, because he was young and frail, he joined Chan Wah Shun Gong at the age of seven to learn Wing Chun, and Hua Gong with his intelligence, diligence and studiousness, so he often taught it himself, and Wu Zhongsu assisted from the side, often □ with Ip Man, and pointed out the mysteries of Wing Chun one by one, and Ip Man thus made great progress in martial arts. It's a pity that Hua Gong can't afford to get sick, and when he was dying, he asked Wu Zhongsu to continue to teach Ip Man and his son Ru Jin. Ip Man practiced hard with Wu Zhongsu for three years, and he made greater progress than before, when he was only fifteen. The following year, Ip Man came to Hong Kong at his father's behest to study at St. Stephen's School, during which he was introduced by his classmates to Leung Pik, the son of Mr. Ryazan, and trained in Wing Chun with Leung Pik. Three years later, Ip Man returned to Foshan, got to know Foshan boxers, and even volunteered to help Wen Da Niu martial arts competition, which caused a sensation in Foshan. After the recovery, he devoted himself to the military and political circles, such as breaking the sand candy, and his political achievements were very good, and he was happy to capture the thief Luo Zao in the Sanpinlou on the righteous road. It was not until Foshan changed color that Ip Man left Foshan and took refuge in Hong Kong around 1949. At this time, Ip Man first arrived in Hong Kong, and his life was not stable, but fortunately his friend Li Minxing introduced him to teach Wing Chun at the Hong Kong and Kowloon Hotel Staff Union on Tai Nan Street, Sham Shui, Kowloon, and also began Ip Man's career of teaching boxing. At that time, the disciples included Liang Xiang, Luo Yao, Xu Shangtian, Zhao Yun, Lu Wenjin... and others, and then in Haitan Street, Lida Street, Li Cheng Uk, Avenue East Tai Wang Temple, Castle Peak Road Xingye Building... Over the past 20 years, Ip Man's improvement and promotion of Wing Chun has enabled the Wing Chun school to flourish and become famous in Hong Kong, Taiwan and around the world.

Wing Chun has developed rapidly from a set of self-defense techniques to actual combat techniques, and has developed rapidly in the past few decades, developing Wing Chun from Foshan to every corner of the world, becoming an internationally renowned Chinese martial art and the most studied Chinese martial art by foreigners today. The origin and development of Wing Chun is consistent with the following: 'Originated from Yim Wing Chun, derived from Ryazan and flourished in Ip Man!' Features of Wing Chun Wing Chun is a very scientific and artificial boxing technique. Its strength lies in its immersion in combat. It punches fast and defends tightly, the horse is flexible and fast up and down, both offensive and defensive and defensive at the same time, focusing on both rigidity and softness, and low energy consumption.

Wing Chun has created three fist sets such as small thoughts, bridge search and finger marking, as well as the wooden figure chun method in terms of its theory, mental method, and technique. It is also used with sticky hand exercises to train the feelings and reactions of the enemy bridge hand after double contact. Wing Chun uses a method of power called "inch strength" to attack and defend. In terms of theory and mental method, we pay attention to the middle line, burying the heel, chasing the shape in the face, taking care of the left and right, coming and going, throwing hands and rushing straight, etc., to attack and defend in the shortest distance and time.

The following is a statement of the characteristics of Wing Chun: (1) Theory and Mental Method: (1) Midline Theory: The line of the midline from the top of the human head to the tail (tail keel) of the middle line. If you connect the median line of friend and foe, it becomes a midline plane. If we work together (face to face), we are absolutely advantageous in terms of attack and defense. In terms of attack, we cooperate along the middle line (chasing the shape towards the face) to attack the enemy's middle line, which is the shortest distance between the enemy and us; With the same punch speed, the one who is close to the punch track will of course hit it faster. Moreover, if we ask the enemy to attack left or right, the opponent can easily disarm us. However, if we attack the enemy's midline, it will be very difficult for the opponent to unload the force, and the force will be heavier. Defensively, we defend the midline, cooperate (chase the shape towards the face) and dissolve along the plane of the midline with the method of dividing the water, which is also the shortest track of the elimination.

(2) Facing the face: The person who is facing the other party is "facing the face". If we are not able to "face the other" (e.g., the other person is facing the other direction), our face follows the plane of the middle line of the other person to the shape of the middle line, which is called "chasing the form".

When Wing Chun faces the enemy, it is as direct as possible. Whatever direction the enemy goes around us, we will surely chase the enemy in the face. The advantages are as follows: (1) Defensive: Simplify the direction of the enemy's attack on us. Because of the frontal attack, the enemy's attack on us is limited to the nine directions. The nine paths are the upper left, the middle left, the lower left, the upper middle, the middle middle, the lower middle, the upper right, the middle right, and the lower right. Therefore, we are more elusive to the enemy.

(2) Offensive: In line with the theory of the middle line, we are more likely to hit the target and the enemy is heavier.

(3) The shot is fast and the shadow is small: both hands can reach the enemy at the same time, so there is no need to turn the shoulder when shooting, so the shadow (aura) of the shot will be very few, and the left and right hands are easy to take care of each other.

(3) Buried heel theory: Most of Wing Chun's shots or defenses are close to the midline plane. The advantages are as follows: (1) Skill: You can grab the center line to achieve the shortest distance and the heaviest attack.

(2) Defense: On the one hand, the body has protected some important parts of the body, and on the other hand, it has defended the center line to achieve the shortest distance.

(4) Closing theory: After Wing Chun shoots (whether offensive or defensive), the hands and arms no longer accumulate strength, and the flexion of the heels is for the purpose of retraction. In addition to being able to attack again with both hands, this will not only make it easier for the enemy to take our joints and hold our positions more closely in terms of defense.

(5) "Come, stay, send" mentality: In addition to eliminating, it is best to keep it as much as possible by the other way that the "come-stay" person hits us, so as to control it by using the feeling of hand to hand contact of the Wing Chun Bridge. "To send", when the enemy strikes at us strongly, we use techniques to change the direction of the attack, so that its attack cannot hit us, if possible, we should redouble our strength to follow the momentum to the changed direction, so that the enemy loses momentum or uses the old move.

(6) "Throwing Hands Straight Ahead" Method: "Throwing Hands" is when the other party suddenly removes the bridge hand that is connected to me (in any way). Whenever the opponent "shakes his hand", we should rush out and attack the enemy as soon as possible. The mental methods of "coming, staying, sending" and "throwing hands and rushing straight" are exercised from sticky hand practice.

(7) Defensive and offensive periods: When we eliminate the opponent's attack, we should attack the opponent at the same time within the scope of possibility, so that we will change from passive to active and achieve the second strike.

(8) Other auxiliary methods: (1) Do not eliminate "over-cage" (over-the-head): Wing Chun elimination is based on the principle of eliminating the opponent's incoming hand without exceeding the range required for defense. If the opponent can't hit us, we don't need to use any elimination. Not eliminating "cage" can reduce the consumption of energy and time. It will be faster to counterattack the enemy after it is eliminated.

(2) Do not "chase": "Chaser" should leave the range required for defense to chase and contact the opponent's bridgeman. Wing Chun is about the sensations and reactions of the bridge hand to hand. Therefore, beginners in Wing Chun can easily make the mistake of "chasing hands" subconsciously. If the enemy bridgeman is not in our defensive range, we should not chase after the other bridgemen, but instead take the opportunity to attack the enemy in order to defeat the enemy. If the opponent uses the bridge hand to neutralize our attack, we will achieve the goal of contacting the opponent's bridge hand; This is one of the "bridge finding" methods.

(3) Do not "rush": Wing Chun's shots (attack or defense), horse steps up and down, and transformation should be based on the principle of maintaining the center of gravity. Minimize the opportunity to be "out of shape" by the other party. "Out of shape", that is, losing the center of gravity and not being able to maintain a state of balance against the enemy.

(4) Strength without the help of position: The "attack" and "defense" of Wing Chun are based on the principle of being able to exercise to the point that you can exert force from any position. In other words, no matter where the hand is, it can exert force, and it does not need to withdraw the hand or raise the position to help the opponent attack.

(2) "Inch strength" is the offensive and defensive strength of Wing Chun, also known as "elastic strength" or "short strength": this is a short, explosive force that can strike the enemy with lethal power within a short distance (about two inches). "Inch strength" is an exercise that has been thought of since childhood, such as emptying punches and punching sandbags.

(3) Sticky hand exercises: The purpose of this exercise is to: (1) exercise the sensations and reactions after contact with the enemy's bridge hand.

(2) Exercise to create and find the enemy's gaps.

(3) Exercise both hands and use both hands for both sides.

(4) Exercise the Wing Chun heart method, such as "come, stay, send", "shake your hands and go straight", "do not eliminate the cage", "do not chase hands" and so on.

(5) Practice offensive and defensive techniques and combinations.

(6) Coordination of practice techniques and horse steps.

The feeling is the experience of all the "data" such as whether the opponent has flaws and gaps, how the direction and change of the opponent's strength, and whether there are any flaws in the opponent's attack and defense after the two sides have bridged each other. Wing Chun has a special focus on feeling and reaction. We believe that the response to absorption by the eye is slower than the response to the sensation after the bridge is touched. This is because the eyes see that the nerves are transmitted to the brain, and then the brain gives the command to respond appropriately. However, the sensory response of the bridge hand to hand is a shortcut through the spinal nerve, so the response is faster. After proper exercise, the sensation and reaction of the bridge hand to hand should be achieved.
