Chapter 13 The Eight Methods of Tai Chi

"Taijiquan comes from the thirteen potentials, also known as the eight doors of five steps, the eight doors refer to the squeezing, squeezing, pressing, picking, squeezing, elbow, leaning. It is both eight techniques and eight kinds of strength. Among them, the four hands of squeezing, squeezing, elbowing, and leaning are the offensive hands, and the four hands of squeezing, pressing, picking, and holding are the dissolving hands, that is, breaking the squeezing, squeezing, and breaking the elbows. ”

Yang Can explained while comparing movements.

"It's really the head, but the movements are soft, is this punch really effective?"

Yang Fan had doubts in his heart.

"You're coming to attack me. ”

Yang Can knew that if he didn't practice some offense and defense, he might be unable to dispel the doubts in Yang Fan's heart.

"Be careful, then. ”

Yang Fan deliberately pressed his strength to the triple level of quenching, and then raised his hand, and slashed towards Yang Can with a move of "splitting Huashan".

"Attention, this is the strength, this is the strength, this is the strength, this is the press, this is the squeezing strength, the whole together, this trick is called the tail of the bird. ”

Yang Can pulled forward with his hand, forming a round force, blocking Yang Fan's attack, and then taking advantage of the situation to pull it back, dissolving Yang Fan's strength, holding Yang Fan's attacking hand, pressing down on the trend, pressing its center of gravity down, and then squeezing it violently.

In his previous life, Yang Can practiced this momentum, I don't know how many times, so that he was extremely proficient, and his movements were like flowing water in his peers, Yang Fan couldn't resist it at all, and he took a few steps backwards in a row before he stood still.

Yang Fan was stunned, he couldn't understand how these simple moves could crack his killing moves and calmly repel him.

"There is a punch score called "Fighter Song", which is rigorous and concisely worded, and it is very classic. Squeeze and press carefully, and it is difficult for people to enter. Let him hit me with great force, and it will affect four or two thousand pounds. The introduction of the gap is out, and the sticking does not lose the top. ”

It's just a simple 42 words, but the content contained is extremely rich, with the simplest words, to say the essence of Taijiquan techniques, the more Yang Can pondered, the more he felt like drinking alcohol, intoxicating, and introduced to Yang Fan first.

When Yang Can said this, all 42 words turned into black and white lotus, and the brocade scales in the pond, which had been calm, jumped out again.

Yang Can took a deep breath, he sensed that there was a very special energy in this heaven and earth, once a classic thing appeared, it would trigger a vision of heaven and earth.

Seeing Yang Fan's dazed appearance, Yang Can knew that he still couldn't comprehend the profound meaning of "Fighter Song" at all, so he briefly introduced it to him.

"Squeezing and squeezing must be serious, which means that when pushing hands or technical hits, you must be focused, and if your heart is not quiet, you will not be attentive, and there is no direction at all before and after you raise your hand and throw your feet......

"It is difficult for the upper and lower phases to advance with others, which means that they have given up their subordinates, and they stretch with their bends, and the upper and lower phases follow the opponent, so it is difficult for the other party to carry out an attack......"

"Let him fight me with great strength, which refers to the strength of the other and the strength of the other, which embodies the martial arts idea of being strong and soft, and defeating the strong with the weak......"

"Pulling four taels of thousands of catties refers to holding the other party and holding his bull's nose, and you can beat his thousand catties with the strength of four taels. My strength is like a gourd on the surface of the water, and the other party receives my strength, such as stepping on the gourd on the surface of the water, and the person who steps on the empty water and falls into the water is actually pulling himself ......"

"The introduction of the fall is the essence of the thug song, the introduction refers to the synchronous movement along the trajectory of the opponent's attack, slow down the emergency, the failure is to gradually dissolve the opponent's strength, the combination is the most critical node, avoid the real and hit the virtual, borrow the force, that is, out refers to the strength such as the arrow......"

"Sticky with not losing the top, fingers without any active force of light contact, this is the basis for cultivating listening strength, with the heaviness of the opponent can not be forced, sticky fingers have no initiative to adhere to the contact, the magic is to make the opponent unconscious, even the fingers always have a containment, obstruction, misguided contact, with the finger with the bend to stretch, he should go this should ......"

Yang Can has a deep understanding of "Fighter Song", if it is fully expanded, I am afraid that I will not be able to finish it for three days and three nights, and it can only be a long story short.

Yang Fan's eyes widened, he had practiced martial arts for many years, but he had never even heard of these wonderful truths in martial arts.

"It's amazing, Can'er, what you said about the introduction failed, isn't it just a hand-in-hand?"

Yang Fan completely lowered his posture, looking sincere for advice.

Yang Can shook his head: "It's completely different. The introduction of failure is passive, not a strong attack, the focus is on the introduction, face the hand directly, and the opponent moves a short distance......"

"Is it possible to attack the opponent when the opponent's strength is exhausted?"

Yang Fan pondered for a while, and then asked.

Yang Can nodded secretly, being able to ask such a question is enough to show that Yang Fan is listening attentively.

"The difference is huge. Merge and go out is to move with the person, the reaction force of the other party is small, and the strength of the other party must be borrowed, so you can't wait for the other party to run out, not a touch of strength, reciprocating and folding, focusing on avoiding the real and imaginary......"

Yang Fan nodded secretly, as a quenching body sevenfold, he still has basic martial arts knowledge, and he knows that what Yang Can said is reasonable, and he is by no means foolish.

"Cracking is the first strength of Tai Chi. Up and down the body, everywhere is not detached. What is the strength refers to the natural support force, not to lose the sticky internal strength. The song of the shed has clouds: what is the meaning of the strength, such as the water negative boat, the first real dantian gas, the secondary head hanging. The whole spring force, opening and closing a certain time, any weight of thousands of pounds, it is not difficult to float......"

The more Yang Fan listened, the more moved he became, and he couldn't help asking, "How can I better train my internal strength?"

Yang Can said: "Practicing kung fu, human beings are the carrier, the carrier is not vacated, not cleaned, there is no channel, how can the internal strength be on the body? ”

"What is the meaning of strength, before the guidance, follow the forces, and do not lose the top.

Exhaust the natural emptiness, throw the blow to the natural, the center of gravity is self-maintaining, and do not take advantage of others. Strength is a specific manifestation of Taijiquan's adhesion and adhesion, destroying the opponent's standing and center, so that it is in a back posture ......"

"What is the meaning of squeezing, there are two parties when it is used, direct and simple, and it is in motion. Indirect reaction force, such as the ball hitting the wall, and like money throwing a drum, leaping into the sonorous. You can't use the strength of your arms to squeeze it, you must use your waist and legs to exert your spirit, your posture is full, don't have edges and corners, don't move forward with your upper body, so as not to lose your center of gravity......"

......

Yang Can explained the eight methods of Tai Chi to Yang Fan one by one, and while explaining, he compared his movements, and he was prepared for both form and spirit.

In his previous life, Yang Can brought countless disciples and had rich experience in teaching, and explaining to Yang Fan was also simple and effective.

"Isn't this a shack?"

Yang Fan raised his hand in front of him and said in the same way as Yang Can.

Yang Can shook his head: "Your strength is too stiff, the second is too sluggish, and the shape is even more wrong, the head has lost the strength of the head hanging, the shoulders are raised too high, and the elbows and hands are bent too hard, remember, you must not use force, it seems that it is loose and not loose, and it is basic not to lose it, and it is a round force, and you must do it naturally, you can't add a feather, and mosquitoes and flies can't fall ......."

Yang Fan was originally proud, thinking that he had got the essence of it, but he didn't expect Yang Can to give him face at all, and picked out many of his faults, which made him blush suddenly.

Yang Can just didn't see it, he was not surprised, no one could go deep into the principles of Tai Chi at the beginning, and knowing the mind was not the same as knowing the body, and it was normal to make mistakes.

"Then I'm so hard, you can find fault again. ”

Yang Fan obviously lowered his posture and sincerely asked Yang Can to point out.

"Look carefully, what is the difference between what I do and yours?"

Yang Can seriously demonstrated to Yang Fan.

Yang Fan was at a loss, obviously not seeing the point inside.

"You see the distance between my hands, there is no change, my strength is generated between the loose and heavy waist and hips, and the strength you do is to use your hands to pull hard. While making the other party's center of gravity change, your own center of gravity must not change, and you can only take advantage of the situation to relax. Tai Chi doesn't do hands, you have to remember that......"

Yang Can supported Yang Fan's body, explaining the essentials to him while guiding him to make movements, many proud disciples in his previous life were taught by Yang Can like this.

"Yes, this way, my body is much more comfortable, and my strength seems to be much smoother. ”

Yang Fan nodded frequently, feeling more and more that learning martial arts with Yang Can was really the right path.

"Look, what about me?"

Yang Fan thought about it carefully, and then made a gesture of squeezing with both hands.

"The wrong hand shape. Tai Chi is full of yin and yang, and the two hands are also yin and yang. Squeeze is a double strength, the front hand moves forward synchronously, the back hand prevents the opponent's attack, the front hand is virtual, the back hand is real, and the life gate convex pull each other to form an eight-sided support force......"

Yang Can smiled dumbly and explained in detail to Yang Fan.

"Then what about this press, it should be right, right?"

Yang Fan pressed his hand down suddenly, and then remained motionless, waiting to listen to Yang Can's explanation.

"Tai Chi and people in contact, generally have to use the force, it is inseparable from the strength and strength, belongs to a kind of force, that is, to release, to put is to receive, if like you, it becomes a foreign boxing, not the slightest strange, as needed with waist and leg strength to carry out the spirit, practice must loosen the shoulders and elbows, sink the crotch and collapse the strength ......"

Yang Can explained with a smile.
