The form is invisible, the intention is unintentional, and the unintentional is the true meaning
"The form is invisible, the intention is unintentional, and the unintentional is the true meaning". The highest level of martial arts is "no trick to win, there are tricks". As a result, whether or not to practice has become a controversial issue. The attitude towards "recruitment" is generally as follows: 1. Only talk about "law", not "recruitment". 2. Only talk about "strength", not "moves". 3. Speak the law, stress and also talk about tricks. 4. Don't talk about anything, just talk about "nothing".
"Nothing" comes from the Taoist worldview. The Taoist concept of development is "from nothing to something" and "from existence to nothing". Wuji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji gives birth to two yi, two yi gives birth to four elephants, and four phases give birth to gossip. This process is called "Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things." Eventually, all things come to nothing. "Nothing" is the highest state. The Taoist evolutionary formula: nothing-being-nothingness.
Obviously, "being" is produced little by little from "nothing", and the higher level of "nothingness" behind it is not groundless, but the result of the accumulation of "being" little by little. Seeing the great calligrapher Long Feifeng dancing and swaying, it seems that there is no order, but he is also a stroke by stroke, and he has practiced the tricks of each family word by word, and has been cultivated through dozens of cold and summer. Who doesn't appreciate Wang Qianzhai's invisible and unintentional superb martial arts, but he has also stood hard in the three-body pose, and he has also practiced the five elements boxing hard. He also practiced bright energy and dark energy in one move, and realized the transformation energy step by step. No one can go beyond the stage of "with moves" and directly reach "no moves".
What is a move? The dictionary explains: "move" is "the action of martial arts". Unless you don't make a move, if you do it, it's a move. This explanation is difficult for people to accept, and I am willing to interpret "moves" as "martial arts techniques", and eliminate those movements that do not have the meaning of martial arts, those movements are not moves, but "dance". The extended meaning of "zhao" is "the solution to the problem". The method is good, and this trick is really high. There's no way, it's no trick.
All walks of life have their own moves, and the assassination of soldiers is practiced to prevent left stabbing and lower stabbing. The armed police practice grappling. Boxing practice straight, swing, hook, wrestling practice all kinds of tripping, that is also a move. There are countless moves in the four major methods of martial arts: grasping, taking, falling, and fighting, and the famous Zhang's short punch "Thirty-six Dead Hands in the Middle" and "Thirty-six Dead Hands in the Outer Hands" are all combinations of moves. It is the crystallization of the experience of our ancestors, which is worthy of our serious study and inheritance and development. It can be said that to erase the moves is to erase the Chinese martial arts.
Only those who only practice routines understand "moves" as a dead frame. As long as you use the moves in combat, you will find that the moves have mutated genes from birth. Any move can hit the upper handicap, as well as the middle and lower handicap. It can be used when you go to the middle door, you can use it when you go through the inside door, and you can use it when you go to the outside door. It can be used in a step, in a difficult step, and in a backward step. Don't listen to stereotypical preaching such as "Jin Kemu, Mu Ketu", any move may overcome any move, see if you will change or not, use it skillfully or not, otherwise how can you "hit the world with half a step"? The "parts" that make up the "moves" are all "general parts", which can be combined with other parts to form new moves. As a result, the move can be made again. The ancients felt this, so they called the high-level recruitment "outline" and the low-level recruitment "eye". However, at such a low level as the "order", new moves can still be born, and even if they are divided into classes, orders, families, genera, and species like biology, they cannot exhaust the changes in the moves. Some divide the moves into "mother fist" and "child fist", but the son can still give birth to grandchildren, and the children and grandchildren cannot be exhausted. It seems that it is impossible to draw a fixed framework for the move, and find a most basic move that can no longer be changed. So, the clever boxer said: "There is no definite form of boxing, and there are moves everywhere".
However, the tricks we see are only appearances. It also contains "Fa" and "Jin", which cannot be seen. I don't know the reason, I don't know the strength, and I can't use the moves. In TV dramas, it is common to see a few pictures and practice peerless martial arts, so how is it possible, it's just the lovely imagination of literati. When you can't comprehend the Fa and your strength, you won't be able to teach you tricks even if you teach them. When I was teaching my disciple to fall the Fa, there was a young man who watched by me for several days, and he felt that he could read the tricks, so he went back to try it with others, and not only did he not fall down on others, but he himself fell. You don't know how to do it, you don't know how to do it, you can't make it hard, and you will become a mayfly shaking a tree. Moves are the outer shell, and law and strength are the inner essence. It can be said that the law is the soul of the move, and the strength is the cornerstone of the move. If you remove the soul and cornerstone, the rest of the trick is a useless shell.
What is "law"? The dictionary says "method". That's too simplistic. Let's use the language of martial arts to give a definition: "Fa is the concept of martial arts". Mr. Zhang Hengqiu said: "To practice boxing, you must first have three methods, what are the three methods? There are no three laws, and those who have not yet entered are also those who have not started." Born with the potential to fight, if you don't understand the three methods, you can only scratch blindly. Children in rural areas can't drown in the river, but only under the guidance of excellent coaches can they learn formal swimming theories and techniques to become strong swimmers. I have been practicing martial arts for many years, and I practice with people almost every day, but I always feel that I can't get into the body, and I use tricks to be far-fetched. It wasn't until one day that I was included in Zhang's short fight and learned the unheard of boxing theory in the past few decades, that I suddenly became enlightened and felt a little handy. As far as the concept of martial arts is concerned, there is no distinction between fists and sects. Good boxing methods are applicable everywhere and have guiding significance for all kinds of boxing. Under the guidance of good boxing theory, you will grow quickly, and listening to false reasoning and heresy will lead people astray. It is very important to seek the best boxing method, Zi said: "When you hear the Tao, you can die at night."
What is "strength"? The dictionary says that "strength" means "strength". This explanation is also too simplistic, and in fact it is a very complex issue. The cultivation of martial arts "Jin" can be divided into two major parts: one is the basic accumulation of Jin, and the other is the use of Jin. The basic accumulation of strength is to enhance physical fitness and resistance to hits. There is a saying that "one force will drop ten", and no matter how smart the car is, it can't hit the tank. The basic accumulation of strength is like "capital", and the use of skills is like "management", capital is essential, the more the better, but it is not good to not operate, or management skills are more profound and important.
The strength that martial artists refer to is the overall force that is emitted by the coordination of all aspects of the body through the action of the nervous system and endocrine under the control of ideology, and changes with the needs of the struggle situation. Finding strength is a process of continuous deepening, and it cannot be exhausted through the work of a lifetime.
The first is the exercise of the nervous system, so that "the heart and the mind are in harmony, the mind is in harmony with the qi, and the qi is in harmony with the force". "Heart" is the brain, thinking. "Yi" is the nervous system. If the "heart" is compared to the commander, the "will" is the herald. Commanders' operational decisions should be conveyed quickly and accurately. However, people's "will" often fails to accurately convey the decisions of the "heart" and cannot properly coordinate body movements. For example, practicing calligraphy needs to be horizontal and vertical, if you don't believe that you write a horizontal path with a brush, you just can't write straight, and your hands just don't listen to your command. A person who has just learned to drive a car finds that there is a situation on the road, and her "heart" decides to step on the brakes, but her "intention" gives her foot instructions to "step on the accelerator", and even the police are killed. This is called "rushing" and "not being able to do it". The well-trained veteran driver found out about the situation and immediately stepped on the brakes without thinking about it at all. This is called "conditioning", and conditioning requires long-term exercise to form. Gambling is changing rapidly, there is no time to "think", everything has to be as fast and easy as a driver hitting the brakes. Heartbeat, intention, step, hand, instantaneous.
It also needs the cooperation of the respiratory system, endocrine system, and microcirculatory system. Qi is not only a matter of breathing, but also the movement of the diaphragm and abdominis muscles itself is an important part of the force, which is called "dantian force" to say mysteriously. When the strength is turned into a door, the door is sucked into the dantian, and when the strength is made, the door is destroyed by the dantian, which can greatly increase the strength of the limbs and form an overall strength. But ordinary people hold their breath to fight, and after a while, their bodies will be deprived of oxygen and have weakness.
The issuance of strength also requires the reasonable cooperation of external limbs, the coordination of techniques, body methods, and footwork to form a whole. To do the hands, feet, and body is what is often said to be the outer triad.
The use of practice strength often requires a struggle with one's own "instinct", the term is "sacrifice strength", and only by giving up the old strength can the new energy conform to the technical norms. A "Shun" word is a headache, everyone knows that the force is one plus one equals two, the small force breaks the force, the top force is one minus one is equal to zero, and it can't get in at all, but this strength is not smooth. For example, if a person pulls a cow, the cow only knows how to pull it back, and it is led away. Don't laugh at the ox, in fact, man's instinct is to resist when he encounters strength, and when the enemy pushes forward, he will push forward. When the enemy pulls back, he pulls back. If it changes, he pulls me backwards and hits me forward, and if he pushes forward, I can't cure my opponent? "If you stand up, you will die, and if you suck your waist, you will live", but if someone suddenly pounces on you, you must stand up and resist. The strength and stiffness of people when they are fighting are not much different from the top of a bull. The bracket fights stupidly, so it is called "fighting", and it is called "technical attack" with ingenuity.
From occurrence to application, energy is closely related to the mental state, which is the kung fu of "relaxation". There are 650 muscles in the human body, which pull the bones to produce movement. But muscles can only pull the bone by contraction, not by elongation. So every time you do an action, one set of muscles must contract and the other group of muscles relax to complete. If the muscles that should be relaxed are not sufficiently relaxed, the force cannot explode in an instant. Relaxation is also a prerequisite for "listening to energy". In the game, the situation is ever-changing, and if the eyesight is not enough, it depends on the sense of touch. In a relaxed state, the tactile response is most sensitive. On the other hand, when using brute force to scuffle, the sense of touch becomes very dull, and even if you are injured, you don't know the pain, and your movements appear stiff and clumsy. Only in a relaxed state can you perceive various subtle changes in the direction, strength, and speed of the enemy's strength, and make a response to the trend. Relaxation can be light, and softness can be extremely rigid. Bad mentality has a direct impact on the use of energy, fear increases adrenal secretion, trembling all over, stiff movements, and can not do simple things well. For example, if you put a wooden board between two bricks, anyone can walk over it without falling down, but if you put this board between the cliffs, few people can get by, and they are afraid that they will really fall down. Therefore, in the past, when the temple was built on the cliff, it was all done at night, and I couldn't see how high it was, so I wouldn't fall if I wasn't nervous. It's the same with fighting, you are so nervous that you can't even breathe, and you lose your ability to fight. Fear even led to sudden death of heart cells, Xia Houjie saw Zhang Fei, fell off the horse and was scared to death, and there was no need to fight at all. Therefore, the first paragraph of Qi Jiguang's fist sutra says: "If you don't have the courage to go first against the enemy, you will be empty-eyed and clear." Anger also causes an increase in adrenal secretion, shaking all over, confusion, and poor breathing. That's why Lao Tzu said: "Those who are good at fighting are not angry." Eagerness to win, distractions from chores, etc., will affect the use of energy. Therefore, the exercise of emptiness and tranquility is also an important lesson for martial artists.
The use of strength can also be attributed to the category of "law", such as rigidity and softness, emptiness and reality, yin and yang, and hair transformation. Psychological and nervous system problems can also be attributed to the category of "law", which is called "mental law". In this way, the contradiction of "law and recruitment" remains. The move is a technical action, and the law is the guiding ideology. The move is the carrier, and the law is the soul. Moves are specific actions, and law is a general law. Fa is "the generality of contradictions", and Zhao is "the particularity of contradictions". From a philosophical point of view, the generality of contradiction lies in the particularity of contradiction, and it is impossible to understand the generality of contradiction without dissecting the particularity of contradiction. In the same way, whether it is the method of martial arts or the strength, these are all included in the moves. Leaving the anatomy of the move, everything is on paper. If you don't practice the tricks to perfection, you won't be able to deeply understand the Fa. Do you want to learn calligraphy? Then go and practice specific characters, all the methods of starting and moving the pen and closing the pen are in the specific characters. Do you want to learn how to drive? Then go and practice the inverted pole. Do you want to learn Xingyi Boxing? Then practice splitting and drilling. Nothing can be said without the practice of specific technical movements, which, by definition, are called "moves". The philosopher said that a drop of water contains a thousand worlds. I said, a boxing move contains a thousand punches. For example, there are inner and outer triads in a broken fist, eagle hands, thunder, dragon bodies, bear arms, chicken feet, and tiger hugging heads. There are Gu methods, playing methods, and footwork. There are dark feet, dark knees, dark legs, bright energy, dark energy, and chemical energy, and there are all kinds of things in Xingyi Boxing. The question is whether you can master this trick proficiently.
To comprehend the "Fa" from the "moves," there must be a process of repeated practice. For example, learning to swim and breaststroke is a trick, and the teacher will first teach you the "law", talk about the essentials of the movement, and compare the movements on the shore first. Then when you go into the water, you will feel that those methods are not used at all, and your body will sink straight down, and after countless exercises, you will gradually be able to float, and finally you will be able to swim well. However, people who swim well in the pool will not be able to swim in the river once they get to the river. Because the water in the pool does not move, there are rapids and whirlpools in the river, and the water interacts with you, which is the real fight with the water. When you can control the wind and waves in order to swim the rivers and lakes, you can be considered to have mastered the swimming method, and it is not difficult to learn other tricks after knowing breaststroke, because the "law" is the same, and even lying on the water and sleeping will not sink, which is called understanding the water nature. Of course, beyond the rivers there is the sea, and the art of swimming never ends. Breaststroke on the shore is like practicing boxing, swimming in the pool is like hitting a wooden stake or a brother to help you feed your hands to practice, fighting the wind and waves in the river is like touching hands with people. The ancients have long pointed out to us the way of martial arts cultivation: "from recruiting to understanding strength, from understanding strength level and gods", no one can go beyond the primary stage of "recruiting familiarity" to directly reach the intermediate stage of "understanding strength", let alone reach the advanced stage of "gods" through paper talks. We have seen that some famous and god-like masters can't push hands with people, let alone fight, because they haven't gone down to the river to swim, and they lack the stage of "recruiting familiarity".
To put it bluntly, martial arts training is mainly a skilled process, that is, a journeyman. Learning martial arts is different from learning arithmetic, learning arithmetic can be calculated as long as you understand the formula. It's not enough to learn martial arts just to understand the principles, but to practice to the body is boxing. It's a bit like learning to ride a bike, no matter how educated you are, a physicist, you have to fall off the bike just after you get on it. However, as long as you ride every day, you don't need to talk about any theories of inertia, slope, angle, etc., and you will naturally be able to deal with all kinds of physics problems encountered on the cycling road with ease. The process of proficiency is a painstaking process that takes a long time, so the content of learning needs to be relatively specific. "If you are not afraid of a thousand moves, you are afraid of a good move", so the ancients said that at the beginning of learning boxing, "it is better to make an appointment than to fight". It's just to practice less and practice more refined. "More is confused, less is gained". People themselves have the ability to sum up experience from practice and constantly improve, "practice makes perfect", the premise of skill is familiarity, and the premise of familiarity is specialization. "Ku Ding" solves the cow every day, and even the donkey does not understand, so he is "at ease". There are many martial artists in history who specialize in one or two moves, Guo Yunshen is half-step collapse and punches the world, Cuihua Liu is invincible with a single palm, and few people can deal with Cheng Jin's three axes. Even people who are proficient in eighteen kinds of martial arts always have one or two killer tricks carved into it as a housekeeper. To measure the level of a person's martial arts, it is not to see how many sets of punches you can have, but to see if you have the best moves to defeat the enemy.
