Chapter 150: The Essence of Wing Chun
Looking at Xu Feng's movements, Ip Man's poker face was uncontrollably frightened.
Back then, he followed Master Chan Wah Shun to learn Wing Chun, and it took him three months to learn how to ask for directions!
And now, Xu Feng has completely comprehended it within an hour!
Be...... Am I too stupid?
Or is this kid Xu Feng too genius?
Alas, it's really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves.
Ip Man sighed faintly.
"Master, is this okay?" Xu Feng slapped the wayfinder in front of Ye Man.
Ye Man deliberately kept a straight face and cleared his throat, "It's so-so, it's a little bit worse than when he was a teacher." ”
Xu Feng grinned and said, "Master, then you can teach me the other twelve tricks." ”
Ye Man thought for a while, "It's okay, I want to see how much you can learn in an afternoon." ”
He stood in front of the wooden stake again, and opened his stance.
"The second move, clap your hands."
"The power of Wing Chun is divided into long bridge power and short bridge force, and the so-called bridge refers to the forearm. The elbow extension allows the bridge hand to reach the far end of the body, which is the long bridge. Keeping the elbows bent and the bridge hand moving on the proximal side of the body is called a short bridge. Whether it is a long bridge or a short bridge, you need to practice elbow strength. Clapping is a good action to dissipate the opponent's moves, and it belongs to the defense of short bridge power. ”
"Open the horse, in the form of a two-word pincer horse. Turn your right fist into a palm and flip your wrist so that your palm is facing right and your fingers are up. Use your shoulders and elbows to exert your strength, move your strength on the outside of your palms, and tap horizontally to the front left side, looking straight ahead with both eyes. ”
"It's important to keep your shoulders balanced. When the elbow is flexed, the forearm remains level. After the palm is tapped, the outside of the palm does not need to exceed the outside of the shoulder. Keep the thumbs of the clapping hands at a distance of about 15-20 cm from the body. ”
"The third trick: spread your hands."
"Spreading hands is also a move to defuse the opponent's offensive, but it belongs to the long bridge force."
"The main point of the move: start with the two-word pincer Yang Horse. Turn your right fist into a palm, palm up. When the right hand is clamped, use the bottom of the elbow to exert force, use the strength of the fingertips, and the palm of the hand through the midline of the body is diagonally stretched forward and upward, and the eyes are stretched out to look ahead. ”
"Be careful to keep your shoulders balanced. Bend your elbows and return them to the center. After spreading the hands, the forearms, wrists, palms, and fingers are in a straight line. The height of the fingertips is between the jaw and the tip of the nose. ”
"Fourth move: hand-"
Seeing Ye Man's movements, Xu Feng's eyes lit up, "Master, this move is very similar to the bright wings of the white crane in my tiger and crane double fist!" ”
Ip Man smiled: "That's right, it's very similar, but it's not." ”
"The movement of raising the elbow and dropping the hand is just the opposite of the spread hand, so it is best to switch between the hand and the hand to do it. The hand is a pure dissolving action. When we ordinary people encounter an attack, we usually have the action of raising our arms to block, which is a conditioned reflex, and Wing Chun absorbs it and optimizes it. ”
"Move: open the horse, in the form of a two-word pincer horse. Turn your right fist into a palm, palm up, arm bent elbow up, and wrist flip so that palm inward. The elbow is exerted and raised diagonally upwards, the wrist is rotated inward so that the palm is diagonally outward, and the fingers are inserted diagonally forward and downward. ”
"Note: Elbows are raised upwards with the tips of the elbows slightly above the shoulders. The forearms, wrists, palms and fingers form a straight line at about 45 angles to the ground. The palms of the hands are facing the midline of the body. ”
"Trick 5: Lapper."
"Circle hands are a widely used technique in Wing Chun to change the position of the hand, such as from the opponent's outer door to the inner door, or from the inner door to the outer door."
Xu Feng saw that Ye Man had done it, and immediately asked suspiciously: "Master, this action is very simple." ”
If this movement is worth learning, then broadcast gymnastics can be called a martial arts cheat...... Xu Feng secretly scolded in his heart.
Ip Man smiled: "It's simple, but you may not know how to use it." As long as you know when to use it, you can be considered a true comprehension. ”
"The so-called circle hand is not an offensive move, nor a definite defense, but also a connection, a connection between changing moves."
"In Wing Chun, the door is divided into the inner door and the outer door, let me give you an example, I attack the enemy with a straight punch, if the enemy's hand is in the position outside the back of my fist, then the opponent is in my outer door, and my hand is in the enemy's inner door."
"Conversely, if the enemy's hand is in the position of the back of my fist, then the opponent is my inner door, and my hand is in the enemy's outer door."
"People in the outside world think that the essence of Wing Chun is fast, accurate and ruthless, which is true, but it is not true."
"Fast, accurate, and ruthless, is the style of describing Wing Chun."
"But in addition to Wing Chun, there are other boxing techniques that can be fast, accurate and ruthless, such as Western fighting, such as karate in Sang country, taekwondo in Xian country, taekwondo in Siam and so on."
Therefore, the true essence of Wing Chun is not to be fast and ruthless, but to ...... Even with the elimination of hits. ”
"Even ...... with elimination" Xu Feng took a deep breath and savored these four words.
"That's right, if you look at any martial arts now, it's not even a match, only Wing Chun."
"Whether it's Western fighting, karate, or our traditional martial arts, it's all attacking and attacking, and defending is defending, especially the Hongjia boxing, which is wide open and closed, extremely strong, and your tiger and crane double-shaped boxing, the essence is also to hit hard, and if you can't fight, you can dodge, right?"
Xu Feng nodded in admiration, arched his hand and said, "Master, you are really a god!" ”
Xu Feng used three moves "Tiger and Crane Double Fist" in front of Ip Man, and Ip Man had already seen it thoroughly and clearly.
Ye Man smiled faintly, "Actually, the martial arts of each family are not too much different, attacking is attacking, defending is defending, and offense and defense are distinct." If you punch me, I will raise my hand to defend it, and I will attack you when I see that you are free to be a flaw...... But Wing Chun is not. The essence of Wing Chun is to fight with each other. ”
"The so-called elimination is dissolution."
"Wing Chun's defense is never to rigidly protect the vital points of the body, but to use moves to defuse the enemy's attacks, and at the same time make moves to attack the enemy's vital points!"
Isn't this the essence of Jeet Kune Do's stream of consciousness!
Xu Feng suddenly had a feeling of clearing the fog and seeing a sunny day!
Listening to Ye Man's explanation, Xu Feng got goosebumps all over his body excitedly!
No wonder the later Bruce Lee can become a generation of grandmasters!
The beginning of life is so important!
Listen to Ip Man continue to speak: "So, from this point of view, Wing Chun does not have defensive moves in the usual sense, and Wing Chun's so-called defensive moves, in the eyes of outsiders, are also offensive moves, but there is still a fundamental difference between Wing Chun's defensive moves and Wing Chun's killing moves. ”
"To switch between anti-move and kill-move, you need to use what you call [simple can not be simple] circle hand."
"When you change your moves, and to what extent, depends on how well you use them."
"Do you still think it's easy to circle hands?"
