Judging from future interactions, although the old way is strange, it is not useless, at least, his kung fu is very good.

He practiced the inner family boxing method, much like Baguazhang, but not exactly.

In my impression, in the first few days, he would get up in the middle of the night to practice, occasionally go out to the toilet, and nine times out of ten, I could see him alone around the big tree in the yard in a circle, eight steps and one cycle, no more, no less.

When practicing, his body shape did not fluctuate much, but the palm shape of his hand kept changing, and his posture did not look like fighting with others, but it seemed to express a kind of indifferent freedom outside the world.

In traditional martial arts, the hands are generally faster than the feet, because of the limitations of physical conditions, the movements on the arms are more delicate and complex than the work under the feet.

But he is different, when he is practicing, although there are changes in the upper body, this change is far less subtle than the subtlety under his feet. Moreover, as soon as he stepped on his small steps, he did not make a sound at all, and as soon as he jumped forward, the person "swam" forward for a while, and then turned slightly and "swam" forward for a while.

As the movement accelerated, this characteristic became more and more obvious, and the figure became more and more blurred, and when it was in full swing, even in the fourteen or fifteen moon land, there was no one to see at all. Except for the occasional rustle of cloth shoes rubbing the ground, only the sound of his robe wrapped in the wind and hunting in the courtyard could be heard, and the figures like dragons playing in the water.

To tell the truth, his skills are profound, and his body is extremely fast, and he is also the number one expert among the people I have seen in my life.

But no matter how awesome he is, I never look closely.

The rules in the martial arts circle, peeking at other people's practice to gouge out their eyes, this third grandfather said a long time ago.

Especially for those who practice at night, it is most taboo for someone to snoop, and it is a big trouble that cannot be pushed away if you accidentally learn a trick and a half.

He used to teach me this, and he asked me to do it in the future, but this time was an exception, and the two old men who had been thinking about the rules of the rivers and lakes after meeting this old way completely changed their attitudes.

Every time the old Taoist practiced palm techniques in the courtyard, the third grandfather who was asleep would wake up suddenly, and then wake me up in a daze, and then squeeze his eyebrows and make eyes for a while.

I know, he wants me to go out and have a look. But I really don't want to, young people feel too much, and they are always reluctant to dream of a good opportunity to meet Zhou Gong.

When the third grandfather saw that I didn't get up, he immediately turned his face down, stood up and took me out of the bed, and threw me out with a bang.

When the door was broken, I was very smoothly discovered by the old man, looked at him blankly, and scratched his head to look into the room.

It's over, I can't explain this, thinking of this, I pretended to run to the toilet, and pretended to be comfortable and ran back to the house, but I didn't think that the third grandfather had already guarded against me, and when he saw me pushing the door, he kicked my ass and blasted me out.

I tilted my head to look at the old man, and the old man also tilted his head to look at me, and after a moment of speechlessness, he came over and touched my head and asked me if I wanted to learn some real skills from him.

I said I didn't have any money, he said I didn't want it.

When I heard this, I couldn't help but sink in my heart, and then I said that I was too young to be the master, and I had to agree with my grandfather and them.

I wanted to use this excuse to prevaricate his invitation, but as soon as he said this, the two old men in the room said in unison: "Okay." ”

At this moment, even the old way is helpless, but the words that are said are like water spilled, and it is not easy to take them back.

Although there is no proper apprenticeship ceremony, that old Tao can be regarded as one of my masters.

I can say that I can learn or not, but the two old men in the family didn't think so, and the next day they killed chickens and sheep to celebrate the old man for a long time. According to the tradition of the older generation, I knelt on the ground and gave him a cup of tea, and he pretended to take a sip, and we were half a master and apprentice.

Later, I learned that the set of things he taught me at that time was called "Yin Yang Bapanzhang", which was one of the prototypes of Dong Haichuan's Baguazhang, a typical Taoist martial art.

This set of palms, divided into eight ways, the whole set of kung fu is secretly in line with the Taoism about the five elements of yin and yang in various arguments, eight core technologies into eight kinds of palms, in theory also corresponds to the "dry Kan Gong Zhen Xun Li Kundui" these eight innate hexagrams, applied in actual combat, another palm is divided into eight palms, divided into sixty-four kinds of loose hand usage, each usage, and can be differentiated into flash, exhibition, advance, retreat, these four situations, summed up, there are about more than 250 kinds of classic moves.

This Baguazhang, known as one of the three famous fists of the inner family, and Yang Luchan's Tai Chi Gate, Li Luoneng's Xingyi Gate and called the rivers and lakes, in the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China during the period is even more famous for a while, her technical core, is the step, also called "mud step", also known as "Bagua step".

Practicing this footwork starts with a circle.

No matter what way you practice, you have to circle around a dot painting, eight steps and a cycle, one step is not more, one step is not more, one step is not more.

Therefore, on this river and lake, there has always been such a saying, called "Tai Chi is like touching fish, gossip is like grinding, and shape and meaning are like catching shrimp".

This is not very good, but there is no derogatory meaning, people who know the know that touching fish, grinding, catching shrimp, these three situations are completely the true portrayal of the three boxing techniques. After Yang Luchan, the Tai Chi boxing in the capital area removed the action of shaking the feet and exerting force, from the combination of rigidity and softness to the outer softness and inner rigidity, and the speed was reduced.

And the Xingyi boxing that goes out and goes straight in, when practicing, pay attention to "light hair and heavy harvest", whether it is the five elements boxing or the twelve-shaped boxing, whether it is the Shanxi school or the Hebei school, they all follow this principle, so it is not too much to say that it is like fishing for shrimp.

As for this Baguazhang, it is the most vivid, which is also recognized in the Baguamen, therefore, in many cases, this Baguazhang is also called "grinding palm", and this way of practicing kung fu in circles is also called "turning palms".

Speaking of which, some people will ask, circling around the big tree, this way of practicing is useful, and in actual combat, who can still give you a circle and be confused.

You're right, because I thought the same way at the time, but now it's different, and as I get older and more experienced, I understand a truth more and more.

What is the routine?

Routines are moves, not moves, and stylish and qualitative routines are a basic carrier of martial arts inheritance, where there are many skills and experiences, and a considerable number of moves can be directly applied in actual combat.
