Chapter 4: Kung Fu
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is already six o'clock in the morning the next morning, and at this time, Yang Yu, who was sleeping, was woken up by the biological clock that he had cultivated for many years, got up, put on his clothes, went to the bathroom, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and after freshening up, he went out and ran to the west of the hotel, because there was a park there.
Walking into the park, he found that there were already some people in the park who practiced in the morning, he found a relatively remote place to pose and began to practice boxing, he will be able to pass on kung fu kung fu tangible boxing, Taijiquan, Baguazhang, because their ancestral martial arts are, Taijiquan, his father is a martial arts wizard worship master for the teacher to learn Bajiquan, his mother is the successor of Baguazhang, so he will know three martial arts.
He first practiced Tai Chi in an open posture, according to the moves of Tai Chi, the body kept walking in a circle, as if there was something under his feet, he always had to carefully rub the ground and go out, although it looked a little awkward, but the whole body was shaking between the movements of one out and one receiving, and the strength was everywhere. After practicing boxing for about an hour, I stopped practicing boxing and raised my hands to the center of my eyebrows, then slowly put it down, gently stepped on the ground with my left foot, and exhaled a long breath.
When he was about to return to the hotel after practicing, he was stopped by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old high school student next to him, and the young man said to him: Brother, what kind of martial arts are you practicing, I said: I am not practicing martial arts, but what is a national art to kill the enemy, you know what is a national art, the boy said: I know that just like what is written in the TV series and novels, the national art is the art of killing the enemy, not the martial art of performance, it is a killing skill, so it is called the national art.
The young man said: Brother, am I right, Yang Yu said: Yes, but do you know how the national art is formed, the young man said that he doesn't know.
Yang Yu said: Then let me explain to you, the revolutionaries led by Mr. Sun Yat-sen in the last years of the Qing Dynasty assassinated many high-ranking officials and even princes of the corrupt Qing Empire.
Later, the Republic of China was established, Japan invaded China, and later by Sun Yat-sen, Feng Yuxiang, many martial arts masters advocated martial arts to strengthen the country and strong species, and finally the government established the Central Guoshu Museum, which gathered the kung fu of various sects together and taught the Chinese people, so it was called Guoshu.
It's just that modern Chinese martial arts have declined somewhat, because of the different times and the different developments of society, and today's young people have not made up their minds to practice martial arts, and they all pursue Japanese judo, Korean karate, no one practices their own country's martial arts, which is really sad in the martial arts world of this era.
The young man heard him say: Brother, I am willing to learn martial arts, can you teach me, Yang Yu said: Learning martial arts is very hard, are you sure you can persevere, the young man said: I can persevere.
Yang Yu said: I have talked to you so much and I don't know what your name is, the young man said: I call me Brother Wu Tian, you can call me Xiaotian, Yang Yu said: You have not practiced martial arts before, so your foundation is not good, and your legs and feet are thin.
So if you want to learn martial arts first, you must first learn to stand on the horse, Wu Tian listened to what he said: Big brother, you don't need to teach this standing horse, I will do something wrong in school, the teacher will punish me for standing on the horse, you don't have to teach this, you still teach me something else.
Yang Yu heard him say this: Oh yes, then you take a horse step and let me take a look, Yang Yu took two steps back to make way for him.
Wu Tian immediately threw off his arms, half-squatted in his footsteps, stretched his hands forward flat, squatted motionless, and said to Yang Yu with a proud face: How is the eldest brother.
Yang Yu didn't speak, just nodded with a smile, let him continue to squat, and after a while, Wu Tian's knees began to sore, and after a while, his legs began to tremble, his waist was also sore, his whole body was hot, and the sweat on his forehead was dripping down like droplets. Yang Yu said: Can you still hold on, Wu Tian said that it should be okay, and as soon as the words fell, he sat on the ground, sat on the ground and rubbed his already sore legs, and said to Yang Yu: I'm standing okay.
Yang Yu said: If you stand motionless like this, you will only get a lumbar muscle injury, horse step, horse step is important is a horse word, stand horse step to stand out of a horse.
Wu Tian heard this: He was very confused, what is standing up for a horse, Yang Yu saw him with a puzzled look and asked him, you should have seen people riding horses in Inner Mongolia, Wu Tian said that he had seen this.
Then you should know that when people ride a horse and gallop, their bodies will rise and fall with the horse, so the horse step is the foundation of boxing that the sages comprehended from horseback riding, so when standing on the horse, you have to imagine that there is a horse under the crotch, and you must also stand together.
When a person gallops on a horse, the undulating strength is with the help of the horse, so you can't work hard but it's different on the flat ground, and your undulating strength is equivalent to melting the horse into your body. And if you squat and walk motionless, the weight of your whole body will be on your knees, and if you squat for a long time, your knees will definitely have problems.
Yang Yu said: Is it such a truth, do you understand, Wu Tian said: I understood, I didn't expect it to be such a simple posture, but it contains so many things in it, and today is an early increase in knowledge. Yang Yu said: You sit there well, see how I squat, and then start to take a horse step, Wu Tian saw that his body was slightly lying together, as if there were ripples in the water.
Yang Yu said: Rest, stand up and squat to learn with me.
Squatting must be the first to the soles of the feet, when getting up, the five fingers of the soles of the feet should be picked on the ground like chicken feet, the five toes are pulled to the bones and muscles of the calves, the knees are naturally straightened, the knees are straight, the thighs are tightened, the waist is raised, and the abdomen is undulating. When you are down, your toes should learn from the duck and goose, and the soles of your feet and five fingers should be loosened, so that your knees will be loosened, your thighs will be loose, your waist will be loose, and your belly will be bulging.
It is necessary to constantly change the center of gravity of the whole body between these ups and downs, so that the center of gravity does not fall in the same place, so as to avoid causing damage to the body.
There is also between the ups and downs of the standing horse step, the vision is also broad, and there is the artistic conception of climbing high and looking far away, such a horse step is correct.
The more Wu Tian listened, the more he felt that it made sense, so he followed what Yang Yu said: Do it, at first Wu Tian couldn't do it together, but Yang Yu was by his side, whenever Wu Tian did something wrong, he would go up and guide Wu Tian in place.
The amplitude of the fluctuation should not be large, that is, the distance of your toes is an inch, and you must always keep it within this inch of distance when you volt together.
Sure enough, after learning this together, Wu Tian changed from the original seven minutes to the current twenty minutes, and the progress was really huge.
I have handed over the truth and posture to you, you practice for a week first, and then come to this park after a week to wait for me, see how effective your cultivation is, and teach you Baguazhang if you are good at cultivation, Yang Yu said: I have something to do, I will go first, and then turn around and leave.
