Huo's secret fist was founded in the Han Dynasty, widely practiced in the Wei and Jin dynasties and the Sui, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, and was created by the Han Wu hussar general Huo Quai. According to the Book of the Later Han Dynasty and related historical records, Huo Quai's ruthless throwing and strangulation tactics combined with the martial arts of the Central Plains were summarized and compiled in the secret training hand-to-hand combat between the Qilian Mountain School Cavalry Battalion and the Xiongnu captives and brave soldiers. It is the actual combat patriarchal method of the Great Internal Secret Sect of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, called the secret sect strangulation technique of the Great General of the Han Dynasty.

Later, because it was integrated into the Central Plains Confucian and Taoist culture, it was also called the secret sect of the Huo family. Refer to Ming Chongzhen's lone book "The Eight Cultivation Truths of the Huo Family's Secret Sect Techniques", "The Eight Cultivation Records of the Huo Family's Secret Sect Fist" and "Huo Family Martial Arts", and through the interpretation of Master Huo Hong, the successor of the Eight Cultivators in the Secret Sect Fist, the Huo Family's Secret Sect Boxing, which has an orderly inheritance and a long history, has gradually surfaced.

"Huo Family Secret Technique" is divided into four parts: "Immediately, Under the Horse, Weapons, and Freehand". Weapons carry long, short, throwing, shooting, and are divided into eight internal and external repairs with bare hands. Han Wu Huo Jiayu Ling Army

The Eight Inner Cultivations, also known as the Inner Family Technique, are the unarmed combat techniques that must be practiced by the guards of the Forbidden Palace of the Later Han Dynasty. Its techniques are mainly based on three dismantling, six opening, eight throwing and eight ropes, among which the eight major techniques of locking the head and breaking the neck are called "the eight hands of the Huo family's secret sect". With the core purpose of "killing eight hands", the technique of three dismantling, six opening, eight throwing and eight solidification is called the "Huo Family's Twenty-four Secret Sect Strangulation Technique". The secret sect kills the eight hands and twenty-four strangulation techniques, the moves are divided into muscles and bones, the techniques are interlocking, the body is like water, the walking and turning is like an eagle, the rolling lock is entangled, and the strangulation and neck are ruthless. The techniques of its secret sect must be sacrificed to the blood inheritor, and the secret cannot be revealed. Therefore, the secret sect boxing technique with the inner eight cultivations as the core is the true inheritance of the secret sect of the Huo family. Because of the regulations of the ancestors, the inner eight cultivators never showed off their outward appearance.

[The Eight Cultivation Secret Sects in the Huo Family Secret Sect] is composed of eight core contents, which are "guest entry, invasion, sitting, cutting the original, concealment, rope tie, scout, and poisoning". In the Han and Tang dynasties, the eight cultivators of the secret sect were partially introduced to the Ryukyus, and the various schools of the Takeuchi, Hanzo, Hattori, Iga and other families were secretly passed on by the hidden arts, and later the part of the "guest entry" and "invasion" in the eight cults of the secret sect was interpreted into ninjutsu, jiu-jitsu, judo, karate, and aikido, and made judo an official competition in the Olympic Games. In the Asuka period, Japan called the master of hidden skills "Shinoben", and in the Nara period, it was called "scout"; During the Warring States period, it was called "Hododo", and in the Edo period, it was called "ninja". The fact that ninjas served as the shogunate's military enforcers shows their high status in the era of cold weapons.

The head of the eight cultivators in the secret sect: Master Huo Hong inherited his father's generation at a young age, practiced martial arts for more than 40 years, and the secret sect of the Huo family copied the boxing book by hand

The secret sect of the Huo family copied the boxing book by hand

He is humble and rigorous in choosing apprentices, and now he only teaches in two universities in Weihai. The master is nostalgic for the ancient Tibetan truth, the family legend of the martial arts rubbing, the text of the two hundred and thirty-eight words, the seven words and thirty-four laws and grammar are respectfully completed in one go, and the vertical reading is a pair of horizontal reading words, and the philosophy is incisive and profound, which shows the literary skills and martial arts of the ancestors of the Huo family. The Ming Dynasty was lost, and the school text rubbing is also difficult to find. Xunwen "The gun swings in the autumn wind and the lotus leaf rolls, the sword dances and the sand and snow blades are remnant", "The rich sprinkle the gold and the poor, and the grace soothes the people with a word", "The palm and the heart cast hatred, and the fist wind falls and regrets sleeplessly", "The border pass cries snow cloud generals, and the outside of the plug cries and remembers Zhang Qian", "The high emperor is in the dark Hongmen tears, and the Wujiang Yan is lacking in skills", "The goose girl is not sorry for the single biography, and the rebel son still needs to be concealed" "Nine songs and six and mulberry silk roads, one country and three princes are cold and cold" - the precepts are few and can be picked up casually, enough to go around the beam for three days. It is precisely because of the Huo family's ancestral training that the relatives of the forbidden palace are in one line, and the secret sect exercises cannot be performed and practiced clearly, except for the Huo Dian Pavilion, the eight cultivators open the door and the eight extremes of the secret sect, which are almost lost.

Twenty-four strangulation skills (hands) and eight internal and external cultivation: rooted in actual combat, acting in meat Bo, cultivating in Taoism, and becoming in the emperor's order. It is the internal cultivation and external extension of Confucianism and Taoism in the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty, so it is also the great success of the ancient secret sect of the inner family. The twenty-four stranglers of the Inner Eight Cultivation Secret Sect are composed of eight casts, eight solids, and eight techniques, and the formula of the eight casts is "Ku Ding dissolves the bones, the white ape folds the laurel, the flat sand geese fall, the desert camel flies, the false change in the middle of the disaster, Loulan takes off the helmet, the Western Regions returns to the horse, and the Zhumen Farewell", and the formula of the eight solids is "the crazy ape pulls the legs, the crazy monkey climbs the deer, the black donkey rolls, the slaughter of the beard and the pig, the wild horse crosses the hooves, the lazy bear sleeps on the tree, the evil python entangles the horse, and the grace breaks the Dudu" The formula of the eight skills is "the Qiang flute blows the twilight, the jade girl picks the flowers, the dying and tired of the drum, the door vine covers the tile, the old tree is empty, the Husai gallops the horse, the branches blow the crane, and the shadow is sparse".

The Huo family's secret sect has eight cultivation routines

The Huo family's secret fist twenty-four glove road drill, with the innate gossip and nine palaces to simulate the enemy, with three circles, six eyes and twenty-four squares as the turning route, kneeling horizontally, buckling and stoodling as the basic footwork, and facing the edge with six open and three into the core. Body requirements: jumping and squeezing, bumping and turning, the technique is mainly palm, mainly including: interspersed with splitting, wrapping and locking, covering cloud wiping, buckle twisting and folding. Main features: Walking and undulating body like water, criss-crossing and rapid turning; The lower plate is stable and vigorous, and the style connection is impeccable; Walking round and broad, the posture is stretched, and the coordination is continuous; Like a shadow, it changes with the performance, and the rigidity and softness are solid with the laxative. In the course of the exercise, the martial arts were used to show the Tao and the Tao to show the martial arts, which not only reflected the unfathomable skill of the instantaneous transformation of offense and defense, but also demonstrated the artistic beauty of tactfulness and smooth and swift stretching. The author has been studying the Bagua Serial Palm for more than 30 years, visiting countless famous experts to conduct academic research, and never thought that the Eight Cultivation Secret Sect Boxing in the Huo family would be so high and difficult to climb. Although it is regrettable that the video is not allowed, this precisely reflects the cultivation and connotation of Confucianism and Taoist culture.

This section of the boxing system is introduced

Huo family boxing is the result of several generations of martial artists surnamed Huo, the most famous is the complete system of "Huo family secret boxing", the famous martial artist Huo Yuanjia, on the basis of the secret boxing, the fusion of the strengths of each family and the development of a set of "lost boxing", so that the ancestral martial arts have reached another peak of performance. On September 14, 1910, Huo Yuanjia challenged the Western Hercules Obiyin in Shanghai, and defeated this unbeatable giant with his self-created "Huo Family Fan Zong Fist". According to the film and television romance, before a group of domestic martial artists have been defeated in front of the Western Hercules Obiyin, Obiyin despised our ancient civilization of the hidden dragon and crouching tiger, and threatened to "sweep the sick man of East Asia", Huo Yuanjia rushed to Shanghai for the dignity of the nation, and the representatives of foreign chambers of commerce were worried that Huo Yuanjia would ignite national sentiment and was not conducive to foreign forces in China, so they planned a competition between four foreign masters to challenge Huo Yuanjia in order to thwart Chinese martial arts.

On the day of Huo Yuanjia's match, he defeated the British boxing champion, the Spanish swordsman and the Prussian spear master, and the Japanese master Tanaka Yasano. Because the Huo family's boxing method is not passed on to the outside, it was Huo Yuanjia who opened a precedent for the spread of boxing after he became famous, and he founded the Jingwu Sports Association in Shanghai. Mr. Sun Yat-sen once personally presented the four words "martial spirit" to commend the "enhance the national physique and advocate the national spirit." “

Bajiquan

The eight repairs in the Huo family's secret sect are the Huo family's housekeeping stunts that never show off inside and outside, and the eight repairs outside the Huo family's secret sect have only had some external legends since Huo Yuanjia in the Qing Dynasty. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Huo family's kung fu was once again demonstrated.

Huo Diange Huo's secret sect Bajiquan generation master, Cangzhou southeast township small set people, was China's famous boxer "magic gun" Li Shuwen disciple of the mountain, because of martial arts, outstanding morality, was hired by the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty Pu Yi as a martial arts teacher and guard, in 1932 with his nephew Huo Qingyun and others with Pu Yi to the northeast, during the period because Japan for the control of the puppet emperor Pu Yi, force Pu Yi around the guards. There have been many Japanese martial arts masters who deliberately made moves in Huo Diange, and they were all defeated at their feet.

Huo Diange, the sixth generation grandmaster of the Baji Gate of the Secret Sect, Zixiu Pavilion (1886-1942, professional martial artist. The 14-year-old Huo Dian's family has a certain foundation for martial arts and light skills. Under the recommendation of Li Wuye, he won Li Shuwen's "magic spear" stunt. The 16-year-old Huo Diange also learned Liuhe big guns and other skills with the "magic gun" Li. Huo Diange was gifted and practiced hard, and after practicing for a period of time, he stood out among many friends, and won the preference of "Magic Spear" Li Shuwen and accepted him as a disciple. Huo Diange respects his master like a father, and has been practicing hard from his teacher for 12 years. "Sharpshooter" Li Shuwen returned from the army and lived in Huo's house when he returned to his hometown, and "Sharpshooter" Li Shuwen was strict with his disciples, and Huo then practiced hard day and night. Let Huo Diange be based on actual combat, keep improving, and do it in the competition, and Li will teach on the spot.

Huo Diange after more than ten years of hard training also practiced the "magic gun" skills, whenever the township assembly performance, the finale program is always by Huo Diange performance mirror face flies. Huo Diange's disciples Gao Xiangting, Huo Qingyun, Bian Tingjie, Liu Ziming, Bian Tingbin, Liu Xiang, Liu Jinshan, etc., are also outstanding in martial arts. After Huo Diange's skills were completed, Li Shuwen, the "magic spear", took him to Beijing and Tianjin to hone his skills. Due to the teaching of "Magic Spear" Li Zhiyan, his art is great and fine, and he has gradually entered the realm. In 1910, the Chinese Warriors Association was established, and Huo Diange went to Tianjin to teach with Zhang Jingxing, Wang Zhongquan, and Li Shuwen. Art Surprise Gate.

In 1927, Huo Diange, Gao Xiangting, Huo Qingyun, Bian Tingjie, Wei Hongbin, and Liu Ziming were the personal guards of the Manchurian Emperor Puyi, which can be described as a great move. Originally, they didn't want Pu Yi to be a puppet of the Japanese, so during Changchun, they not only defeated the original Japanese samurai around Pu Yi. He also accepted Japanese kendo, karate, and judo masters many times to compete in the pseudo-palace and won every battle.

In June 1937, Huo Diange instigated his disciples to fight Japanese soldiers and vented Pu Yi's anger. Triggering the "Datong Park Incident", the disciples of Huo Diange's guardians fought with Japanese soldiers, kicked to death Japanese wolf dogs, and injured more than 10 Japanese soldiers. The Japanese took the opportunity to force Pu Yi to drive away Huo Diange's guardian disciples, disarm the protector blades and spears, and Huo Diange was also disposed of, politically frustrated. From 1932 to 1942, Mr. Huo Diange lived in Changchun and widely spread Huo's Bajiquan.

Eight cultivations in the Huo family's secret sect

The eight cultivators of the Huo family secret sect have been declared for the protection of the world's intangible cultural heritage, the president of the Huo family secret sect martial arts research institute, the head of the eight cultivators of the Huo family secret sect, Master Huo Hong has set up training bases in two universities in Weihai, and the eight cultivation of the Huo family secret sect Xuanwu Zhengtang is taught by Zhang Zhili, a disciple who has returned to China, and its disciples have reached more than 800 people. In the Chinese martial arts, the secret sect is popular in a wide range, and the distribution is more complicated, which is independently called the secret fist and the secret sect technique, also known as the "secret trace boxing" or "mystery boxing", most of which have to be passed on to Sun Tong and Huo Diange. What we introduce today is that those that are spread in Yantai, Shandong, and Weihai are independently called Secret Sect Fist or Mystery Fist, all of which belong to the category of the Eight Cultivators outside the Secret Sect.

Weihai, Yantai, Shandong Province, is surrounded by mountains and seas, with outstanding people, and has been the hometown of martial arts heroes since ancient times. The secret sect boxing from Cangzhou, Hebei Province has evolved into a school here. In the Fahua Temple, a famous ancient temple in Rongcheng, Chishan, Weihai, we saw that the maze boxing practiced by Hua Yuguo and Xue Yansong and other masters and apprentices belonged to the eight cultivation and eight poles of the secret sect.

Attack

Yantai Secret Sect's fist is upright, stretching and generous, solid under the feet, and powerful in the shot. When punching, it seems to be light and agile, but it is fast; It seems to be straight, but it takes care of all directions. Its footwork and hand shape echo up and down. The secret fist method has always paid attention to the changes and surprising, the palm has a tile ridge, the finger has an ape hook, the step has a flash exhibition, the foot has a jump, with the body movements such as leaning, flashing, fixing, shrinking, etc., forming a series of offensive and defensive skills. The set of boxing techniques practiced by Xue Yansong fully embodies the technical characteristics of the secret sect.

Boxing

The secret fist method is rich in routines and has strong skills. When punching, it is important to be steady and ruthless, and to connect hands in five ways. Yantai Secret Sect Boxing combines the action characteristics of the long fist, jumping and jumping, flashing people moving, rigidity and softness, and clear rhythm, so some people call it the Secret Sect Changquan.

Esoteric boxing focuses on two-person sparring and group wrestling, with wrestling and grappling between punches and feet. When the two of them are close together, or use boxing, or have arms to block, or use foot hooks, or use legs to skim, when they shake their waists and shake their arms, they have defeated the enemy. The secret fist is often used in actual combat, especially emphasizing the use of less strikes, from the practice of Xue Yansong and his disciples, you can see the characteristics of the secret fist's technical attack.

Instrument use

The use of the equipment of the Esoteric Sect Fist is more exciting, and there are many types. Like double knives, double crutches, single swords, two sticks, broadswords, flower guns, big guns, painting halberds, crescent shovels, etc. They are all used by martial arts practitioners. The secret sect slashes left and right with both crutches, spins the wind, shoots at will, and can be used for swords; The secret two-cut stick is one long and one short, the whipping is powerful, the trace is fleeting, the power is born between the elbows and armpits, the power is scattered outside the end, and it is a short weapon that practitioners like to carry.

Among the secret instruments, the seven-shaped spear danced the most violently. This kind of big gun was originally the main attack weapon used in the ancient army, and it was used by civilian people, and the body of the gun was generally slightly shorter. The marksmanship of the Mystic Sect's big gun is full of strength, and it is difficult to defend. It can be blocked horizontally, danced and buttoned, giving people a sense of majesty.

It is said that Yantai Secret Sect Boxing has been passed on to seven generations, and between seven generations, the salary has been passed on, and it has always retained the style of the year. We wish that this type of boxing can continue to be carried forward in the cultivation of the mountain Lingxiu and become a wonderful branch in the Chinese martial arts.
