Chapter 8 The Opposite
Monkey boxing is a pictographic boxing technique formed by the fusion of monkey form and offensive and defensive techniques. In particular, the scenery of Mount Emei is wonderful, and the Emei spirit monkey is the object of imitation of boxers in the past dynasties. Therefore, "Emei Monkey Boxing" is widely spread in Tianfu Sichuan, and there are many boxing roads, and there are many masters since the Republic of China.
Although after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the sports reform, monkey boxing because of the selection of performance competitions, and artificially changed many routines, added many flashy movements, and lowered the actual combat surname.
However, since the records of monkey boxing, thousands of years have been passed down to the present day and flourished, and naturally there is a reason for his existence. The most representative surname in the pictographic boxing system is the saying of "five shapes and five birds", in which the tiger walks fiercely, exercises the strength of the muscles and bones, the crane speaks of lightness, clear angle attack and defense, the snake master is entangled, the air is heavy and continuous, and the dragon writes the divine will and turns the rigid into soft. The monkey form, on the other hand, has a bright, swift and sensitive hand.
Therefore, it is said in the boxing scripture that the tiger is like going down the mountain and coming out of the forest, the crane is like the meaning of resting branches and pecking food, the dragon is like the view of wandering out of the clouds, the snake is like the shape of the grass and walking rapidly, and the monkey is like going up the tree to take things.
Therefore, most of the essence of "Emei Monkey Boxing" is reflected in the technique and footwork.
With Bai Ze's understanding of martial arts, after his own kung fu reaches the current bottleneck, it is natural to look at other sects in the country, and the stones of other mountains can attack jade. Especially in this era, the information is a mess, and it has been kept secret by various families before, and the boxing routines that are cherished by the broomstick, or the videos and videos of master battles and teaching martial arts, as long as you put a little effort into it, it is not difficult to get.
Although these things, true and false, are somewhat plausible, and they are mixed with too much water, and they are not as useful to Bai Ze as he imagined, they have finally broadened his horizons and increased his knowledge a lot. A little bit ago, Xiucai didn't go out, and he knew the taste of the world.
In recent years, there are many people who practice martial arts and fitness, but there are too few people who can practice a little fame from it. Confucianism messes with the law, chivalry violates the ban with martial arts, this is the great truth that is unbreakable in the ages, and the people who can really practice boxing to a high and profound realm have all seen blood under their hands without exception, and they are beaten to death as soon as they make a move.
is like a person of Bai Ze's grandfather's age, who has participated in the revolution, experienced wars, and killed people in the rain of bullets, even he can't remember how many, now that the times have changed, the world is peaceful, like Bai Ze, who can endure loneliness and concentrate on practicing kung fu, is like a rarity.
This is also the fundamental reason why Bai Ze has been suffering from actual combat.
So tonight's battle with Hou Sanjian is like sending a pillow when Bai Ze is sleepy, like a long drought and a sweet rain. As soon as Hou San came to the door, he was excited from the inside out.
And the result also made him very satisfied, in addition to not being able to hold back his hands and killing people, what Bai Ze couldn't comprehend when he was practicing in the past, after experiencing this ordeal between life and death, he has gradually shown some signs of integration.
Boxing this thing, to a certain point, and then want to go further, simple hard training is no longer enough, the most direct way is "actual combat", only put life and death outside the degree, forget all the honor and disgrace of the battle, in order to sharpen their boxing skills and heart to the greatest extent.
Therefore, those famous boxers in history had to walk the world and challenge famous masters from all walks of life when they were young.
This is the difference between actual combat and penance, for example, although Bai Ze is only eighteen years old, but with Old Man Bai's ears and teachings, some of his own understanding of boxing has risen to the height of theory. The so-called one law, Wan Faming, although he has not practiced monkey boxing, but with many years of experience in boxing, and then experienced a life-and-death struggle with Hou San, he now has a lot of understanding of some unique boxing principles in Emei monkey boxing.
If you can study it in depth, maybe you can find out a little bit of the essence of Emei Monkey Boxing from it, and integrate it into your own boxing techniques, and turn it into something that belongs only to him.
To put it more simply, Bai Ze used to practice boxing, that is, according to the cat and the tiger, completely inheriting the wisdom of his predecessors, one is one, two is two, but after fighting with Hou San, he figured out a few of the most substantial essence of boxing, if he can be inclusive, and then practice his own kung fu, there will be Bai Ze's own boxing spirit and spirit.
The weaker he is affected by his grandfather, Old Man Bai, the more condensed his spirit becomes.
Thinking along the way, by the time Bai Ze unconsciously returned to Xianfeng Temple, it was already midnight, but his mind was always full of changes in boxing along the way, and he was so energetic that he didn't even feel sleepy.
I was afraid that I would walk back and forth and wake up my sleeping classmates, so I asked for my surname to carry my travel bag, found a relatively open place in the temple, and then figured it out.
Bai Ze's surname is simple and direct, there are not so many fancy intestines, and he pays the most attention to efficiency in speaking and doing things, so he wants to solve it immediately when he encounters something, even if it is a tricky and complicated problem, as long as he is addicted to it, he immediately ignores it and devotes himself to it, in order to achieve the greatest results in the shortest possible time.
Especially practicing boxing, boxing is such a thing, ninety percent of hard practice is indispensable, but this is only the foundation, the most important thing is the epiphany in a flash, if you grasp it, comprehend, then it is possible to become a Taoist and open up a new realm.
However, his surname is really a bit unflattering in today's era, that is, if it is a person who understands, it is okay, and he has a responsibility and understanding, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is completely unsociable, withdrawn, weird, and unsociable.
So since Bai Ze started elementary school and has graduated from high school now, there are very few words that can really be said by him as a friend, and even this graduation trip was forced out by Sun Lei in the name of collective activities.
Then, in fact, how can a person who can practice the family heirloom iron arm and poke feet to the point where he is better than the blue at the age of eighteen, how can he be a dull-minded person. It's just that Bai Ze has already focused on practicing boxing and exercises, and he can't be interested in some other things.
In his opinion, it is better to go home and then practice two ways of "tripping" with people, sweating, and coming to be happy and practical, and practice boxing and heart, a real boxing master, the heart and spirit will also be far more open than ordinary people, and other idle things If they are not related to their own fundamentals, touch the bottom line, they will not be guilty of laborious and wasted time.
Only with this kind of surname can Bai Ze have today's achievements.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, Bai Ze gradually discovered some of these problems.
He has practiced kung fu, whether it is an eagle claw iron cloth shirt, or an iron arm poke foot with five steps and thirteen guns, it is all a serious foreign kung fu, to the yang to the strong, and the emphasis is on hard fighting. If you start with the southern monkey boxing, you may be able to progress faster, because the monkey boxing is divided into north and south, the former is heavy, the latter is heavy, and the southern monkey boxing is a fusion of some techniques of the great sage splitting and hanging and the white ape's back, and the move is changed, strong and powerful, and the momentum style between the opening and closing is somewhat similar to the poke foot.
But Emei Monkey Boxing is very different, its starting point is similar to the shape and spirit, the shot is crisp and fast, and the combination of rigidity and softness is also the most lacking point in Bai Ze's kung fu. Bai Ze's iron arm poked his feet, but he was powerful, but he never practiced to the fire, and he couldn't put it away, so he made it clear to Hou San at the beginning that he would hurt people as soon as he made a move.
Of course, this is not because he was born cold and cruel, but because he has practiced boxing to his level, it is the critical moment to form his own style, his blood is strong, his heart is too hot, and it is difficult to control his strength as soon as he moves, so he will kill Hou San at once.
Practicing Emei monkey boxing is the heaviest spiritual surname.
But for Bai Ze, it is already a matter of fist spirit and shaking the fundamentals. If you can't solve it better, and find out the commonalities between the two, and blindly imitate the practice, it will be like the ancient Handan toddler, practice and practice, not only can not learn the strengths of others, but also lose your own things.
"Hou San's monkey shape is superb, but the monkey shape footwork, light and fast, although the speed is very fast, but it may not be better than my practice to poke the feet, but the last move of one palm four styles, full of fierce nature, quite my appetite. Since you can't absorb it all, let's just learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and put his trick into my strong eagle claw skill to try it!! ”
Recalling the changes between the last moves just now, Bai Ze still has some drums in his heart, and he is also very impressed by Hou San's efforts to rush the yin and yang hands, and the four styles of one palm between the palms and fingers.
However, the four styles of one palm in Emei Monkey Boxing are from the outside in, and the practice is purely the strength and kung fu between the palms and fingers, which belongs to the short and fast attack of hand-to-hand fighting, and Bai Ze's iron arm poke his feet, and the eagle claw gong is in the form of the outside, and the action of putting a long blow is just the opposite, so what Bai Ze is thinking about now is how to go the opposite way and turn Hou San's move into a "long fist" suitable for himself.
That is to say, when Hou San used this move, he stabbed with his fingertips first, then the knuckles were hard topped, his fists were clenched to keep up, and finally the back of his hand was chased and smashed, but Bai Ze reversed this order entirely, and the iron arm power amplifier hit far away, if it was avoided by the opponent, it was immediately like a steel whip to whip it, and it was a tip that was thrown away, first the back of the palm, then the fist, then the knuckles, and finally the knuckles swept and interspersed, and the force was heavy one after another.
Although it is only a drop in order, the situation presented is fundamentally different. In a certain way, if Bai Ze really succeeded in making such a change, then his move would not so much evolve from Hou San's one-palm four-style, but rather be closer to the "inch strength" kung fu in Wing Chun.
