Zhang Taiping continued: "Whether it is a body technique that is good at speed or strength, it must have a stable and solid lower body. Otherwise, even a very fast speed will not be able to produce much power and damage. Especially with strength and explosive power. When it comes to weighing, you should pay more attention to the lower body, because a stable lower body can not only avoid making mistakes, but also gain strength from the earth."

Seeing the two of them listening attentively, Zhang Taiping made his final conclusion: "In short, the bottom plate is very heavy."

Ye Ling nodded to indicate that he had taken note of it, and Fan Ming also nodded.

Zhang Taiping looked at her with a smile and asked, "What are you nodding to?"

Fan Ming said: "Brother, do you think I can learn Kung Fu?"

Zhang Taiping looked her over and said: "Your bones are basically formed now. If you want to practice martial arts, you can learn it, but your achievements will not be high by then."

"How can you defeat three big men at once?" Fan Ming asked happily when he heard that he could learn.

Zhang Taiping smiled bitterly and asked: "So in your eyes, learning martial arts well means being able to defeat three big men?"

"What standard is that?" Fan Ming was a little confused.

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "Being able to practice does not mean that you are good at it. Practicing kung fu requires hard work, especially at the beginning. You can persist with perseverance. "

"How?"

"Just like Ye Ling, get up at five o'clock every day and walk for half an hour."

"That's it..." Fan Ming was a little hesitant when he heard that he had to get up so early.

Zhang Taiping continued: "It must be the same in winter. There must be no one day throughout the year."

Fan Ming shook his head and said: "Then forget it."

Zhang Taiping smiled and said to Ye Ling: "Now that you have a good foundation in horse-stepping, I will teach you a set of boxing techniques."

Ye Ling nodded with expectation.

Zhang Taiping's face gradually became serious. He rarely showed such an expression, but once he showed such an expression, it was very scary. Both girls held their breath and prepared to hear what he said next.

"Master, most of the boxing techniques I learned are inherited from the old man, and most of them are fierce. In the future, remember to follow my knowledge, and don't try to figure it out on your own, otherwise you will hurt yourself if you are not careful. It will hurt you so much. If the injury is minor, it will take more than ten days and a month to recover, but if the injury is serious, it may leave lifelong regrets. Do you hear me?"

Ye Ling nodded seriously, and Fan Ming followed suit unconsciously.

After saying that, the expression on his face began to rejuvenate and thaw. Fan Ming breathed a long sigh of relief. The pressure on his expression just now was too much.

Zhang Taiping was immersed for a while and said: "The boxing technique I will teach you first is Bajiquan. This is in the same vein as my later boxing techniques. Only after you have learned this boxing technique can you continue to learn." As he said, Zhang Taiping thought of something and asked, " What boxing technique was your grandma good at at that time?"

Ye Ling replied: "It's Wing Chun."

Zhang Taiping said: "Unfortunately, I am not good at Wing Chun, so I can't teach you this."

Ye Ling said obediently: "I will learn Bajiquan from my master."

Zhang Taiping nodded: "To learn boxing, you must first understand its historical origins. Today I will not teach boxing. I want you to familiarize yourself with the history and development of Bajiquan."

According to common parlance, the full name of Bajiquan is "Open Door Bajiquan". The sloppy Zhenren is regarded as the first generation, Ding Faxiang is the second generation, "Lei" is the third generation, and Wu Zhong is the fourth generation. Wu Zhong has no children, and he is the first in middle age.

Female, named Rong, was a martial arts practitioner for nearly 30 years and married Dai, a Changquan practitioner from Haifeng. She followed the spirit of "opening the door" of Bajiquan and

Chang Quan's Taizong Quan, Taizu Quan, Feihu Quan, Taohuasan and other boxing techniques were refined and modified according to the style of Baji Quan and passed back to Mengcun. Since then, the number of people seeking to learn Baji Quan has increased day by day. Around the 40th year of Qianlong's reign,

Wu Zhongyu, a younger brother of the Wu family, opened the door to teach skills, and there were dozens of people seeking skills. In addition to Wu and Dingge clans in this town, there were also people from Luotuan and other places.

It is said that Bajiquan was taught by Wu Zhong, a native of Houzhuangke Village, Qingyun County, Hebei Province, by a Taoist priest named Leibundi. Wu Zhong passed the skill on to his daughter Wu Rong. Later, the Wu family moved to Mengcun Town, Cangxian County (today's Mengcun Hui Autonomous County), and Mengcun became the

The place where Baji Quan was spread.

Since Wu Rong, Bajiquan has been passed down in two groups: one is the Wu family and its disciples. It has been passed down continuously in modern times, and those with more profound attainments include Wu Nan and Wu Shike. Their close relative Ma Fengtu has a greater influence and has a wider spread.

One is king

After the four scholars came to Meng Lin, they were passed down to Luo Gong, Zhang Keming, Zhang Chuan and his sons Zhang Jingxing, Huang Sihai, etc. Zhang Jingxing had many descendants, among whom the most influential ones were Li Shuwen, Ma Yingtu, Han Huachen, Zhang Yuheng (son of Zhang Jingxing), etc.

After Li, Ma and Han, Bajiquan spread from a corner of Mengcun in Cangzhou to the whole country.

"Wen has Tai Chi to stabilize the world, and martial arts has Baji to stabilize the universe." "Baji" means that the energy can reach far and far places in all directions. Its movements are simple and concise, strong and crisp, and there are many shaking movements of the feet.

The boxing proverb goes: "It moves like a stretched bow, and its movements are like thunder." This is an image description of the process of exerting force in Bajiquan.

"Moving like a stretched bow" is the process of accumulating energy, which means that the body is like a stretched bow, accumulating full energy, and then transferring the energy accumulated in the whole body to the limbs and releasing it. In fact, using "body is like a bow, fists

The expression "like an arrow" is more appropriate to describe the process of accumulating energy and exerting force in Bajiquan.

Zhang Taiping stood up as he spoke and gave a demonstration. He strode his horse slightly and his whole body instantly became like a fully charged bow. In this way, his whole body was filled with a strong and mighty aura.

"Emitting like thunder" describes the characteristics of the moment when Bajiquan exerts its force. It contains two meanings. One is that the force should be exerted suddenly, violently, catching people off guard, and having a devastating momentum; the other is that the force should be exerted with

The human body is the center and radiates in all directions. It must be powerful in any direction, just like a bomb exploding in the air.

As he spoke, Zhang Taiping's fist suddenly swung out without warning, and the instantaneous burst of power produced an explosive sound in the air, crackling like firecrackers.

"Yeah!" Fan Ming exclaimed in surprise.

Although the power exerted by Bajiquan is fierce and violent, the emphasis is on "strength to the hair" when practicing and applying it, which is the "inch strength" and "explosive power" commonly used in martial arts.

The strength of penetration is not the strength of shaking. The whole process of exerting force in Bajiquan can be divided into the movement process of the early movements (the preparation process of exerting force) and the process of exerting force. The exercise process of exerting force should be relaxed.

, to achieve the requirements of being loose but not unremitting, fast but not stiff, so as to quickly complete the action process on the premise of saving physical strength and straightening out the muscles and veins. When the action reaches the designated position, force is suddenly exerted. Therefore, the origin of Baji Quan

The essentials of the force process can be summed up as follows: the process before exerting force should be relaxed, fast, in place quickly, and the force should be exerted in place. This is both a requirement during practice and an essential point during application.

Seeing Ye Ling memorizing seriously, Zhang Taiping waved his hand and said: "You don't need to remember these now, and there is no benefit in memorizing them. On the contrary, it is easy to be ambitious and have a radical mentality, which is not conducive to practice."

After hearing this, Ye Ling nodded and stopped remembering, just listening.

Zhang Taiping said: "What I said today is just to let you know some information about boxing. Once you reach the point where you can produce the inch strength just mentioned, you can practice the eighth-level Bengquan and the half-step Bengquan. These two are in An extension of Bajiquan. There are many boxing techniques combined in Bajiquan. The word "extensive and profound" is very relevant this time. It is not easy to practice it to a certain level, so most people simplify it and practice it. A trick for exerting force, and some people even skip Bajiquan and practice the eighth-level Bengquan and half-step Bengquan.”

Fan Ming looked at the disapproving expression on Zhang Taiping's face and knew that there must be disadvantages to practicing like this, so he asked curiously: "What harm would such a result have?"

Zhang Taiping solemnly said: "Practice boxing in reality is not like the one-time success boasted on TV. It is a step-by-step process that requires accumulation over many years. Without the early cultivation of blood, eagerness for quick success and quick benefits will result in superficial results." It's easy to tear muscles and injure bones." Zhang Taiping paused when he said this.

Fan Ming quickly asked: "What about the hidden harm?"

Zhang Taiping said in a low voice: "Short lifespan! This is the reason why some seemingly strong warriors died suddenly overnight, because the mentality of eager for quick success and improper training methods have long exhausted the energy in their bones. Vibrant and spirited.”

"Is it so scary? Why do you need to practice kung fu?" Fan Ming said with a sad look on his face.

Zhang Taiping shook his head and replied: "Not everyone knows this reason, and some people know it but have to continue practicing for various reasons. Of course, not everyone is like this, as long as the method is properly paid attention to, Cultivating essence and blood can prevent such things from happening. Just like the old man, who has practiced martial arts all his life and is still full of energy even though he is over ninety years old. This is why I asked the old man to condition your body for a period of time before practicing martial arts. The reason is." The last sentence was said to Ye Ling.

Ye Ling nodded and smiled sweetly and said, "I know Master is doing it for my own good."

Zhang Taiping said: "It's the same thing. When Master learned the exercises at that time, except for Tai Chi, which was passed down from his family, all were vigorous methods. I'd like to remind you again, remember not to practice indiscriminately. You must do it under my guidance or the old man's guidance. Let’s practice.”

Ye Ling also replied solemnly: "I know the importance of the master, and I will never practice randomly. I will practice according to the methods and methods taught by the master."

"That's good."

Fan Ming interjected: "I can't learn these tough things, so can I learn Tai Chi?"

"Yeah." Zhang Taiping nodded, "That's okay."

When Fan Ming saw Zhang Taiping agreeing so easily, he asked strangely: "This is a family inheritance. Isn't there any rule that it cannot be passed on to outsiders?"

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "No, the so-called family inheritance of our Zhang family means that it has been passed down from generation to generation. There is no rule that cannot be passed on to outsiders, and there is no saying that it should be passed down from male to female."

Fan Ming said with a smile: "That's good. I will practice Tai Chi with the old man in the future."

Zhang Taiping smiled and said: "It's up to you." He looked at the sun rising from the east mountain and said, "It's getting late. That's all for today. Let's go up the mountain to plant flowers." After saying that, he stood up and walked up the mountain carrying the farm tools.

go.
