• Martial arts sources

Chinese martial arts, the martial arts, the peace of the world; Zhongwu into Zhe, safe body and mind; Under the martial fine technique, prevent infringement. Chinese martial arts, extended and long, spread so far can be verified the historical fact of 4200 years of Chinese civilization history, civil and military handed down. However, nowadays, the understanding of Chinese martial arts is mostly limited to the definition of martial arts as ornamental and competitive, while ignoring the core value of high security achieved by martial arts bringing “calm and invasion” to practitioners, leading to misunderstanding of traditional Chinese martial arts, which is not conducive to the practice and spread of real Chinese martial arts.

• The word “Wu” is correct

It is a misunderstanding that some people understand wu as “moving, wanting to fight with people and beasts”, and its fallacy is the understanding of “stop” : moving with the toe. The understanding of military force is misunderstood as the original meaning of “raising arms and moving” rather than “stopping arms for military force”. The word “Zhi” means “one foot (toe)”, which means that the front foot of the word “step” and the back foot no longer step on and stop moving forward. wu and Wu are homophonic: Wu, wu, knowing the meaning. From a to B. “I” means “no.” The combination of “O” and “O” means “the arm of immobilization.” The middle of the E position is consistent with “Wubao half step (three feet) of safety”.

 

• Force into philosophy

Chinese martial arts, the martial arts, the peace of the world; Zhongwu into Zhe, safe body and mind; Under the martial fine technique, prevent infringement. Chinese culture is China’s soft power; China’s weaponization is China’s strength. Greek philosophy, mainly to solve the relationship between people and things, more inclined to physical research, weakening national differences. Indian philosophy, which mainly explains the relationship between man and God, although it is the most profound on the philosophical level, it is very weak in the face of practical problems, resulting in India being repeatedly occupied by one foreign enemy after another in the history of thousands of years, and losing its own inheritance. Chinese philosophy mainly deals with the relationship between people: the close establishment of the relationship between people makes people in this area form a strong sense of identity and external identity; The highly developed civilization construction has formed the civilization advantage over the neighboring tribes; The huge civilization gap, first of all, to maintain the purity of their own national culture and national spirit, not to be eroded and destroyed by foreign nations, and to educate, return to (noble), assimilation of foreign nations.

• Chinese martial arts are an integral part of Chinese culture

First, Chinese civilization is guided by “Tao”, which pursues the highest goal of life and establishes a close relationship between people. The way, the first also, head walk also, is to be empty.

Second, and “the way lost after the virtue, the virtue lost after the benevolence, the benevolence lost after the righteousness, the righteousness lost after the ceremony.” Loyalty is weak, but the head is in chaos.” Practical actions are urgently needed in the real society to solve the “chaos first”. This is where Wu comes in.

Third, these “virtues, benevolence, righteousness and rites” are fully summarized and grasped by the “zhe (Yin, ancient Zhe)” of Chinese martial arts, and take this as the goal of practice. Zhe, double Ji: Ji, is “put the weapon on the weapon rack”, the meaning of high defense, from danger; Double auspicious, is “equal, strength balance” meaning.

Zhe, representing the philosophy of Chinese civilization, not only takes the modern philosophy of “two opposing, mutual verification and balance” as the ultimate pursuit of human beings, but also uses the precise expression of “stop the army as the military force” to solve the problem of “faithfulness, loyalty, and chaos”, and establishes a close and harmonious relationship between people, so that it can easily pursue the realm of “Tao”. In order to complete the advanced evolutionary process of “native people, human benevolence to the king, the king to complete”. This is the strength of the Chinese civilization, which has been extended to the present and stands proudly.

• The inheritance of martial arts

The solution is not as good as practicing a skill, the skill is not as good as the law, the law is not as good as reading; Reading right, law, skill, self – born 100. A perfect recipe is better than a hundred. Great oaks make perfect practice. It is better to follow the truth, to follow the truth than to love the same door, and to love the same door than to look at themselves; Confidant, lover, understanding, is a good teacher. A good teacher is inherited. Yan Yan flourishing, people strong national security!

• The role of force

First, personal protection

Primitive society: strong and weak struggle, one side of the war, and then the emergence of war. War, war for war, war for peace. Martial arts, a technique to stop fighting.

Secure the country and strengthen the people

Country, community: King Zhuang of Chu said: Fu Wen to stop war. Again said: Fu Wu, ban violence with Ji soldiers to protect the great gong, peace people and wealth also. — Zuo’s Spring and Autumn Annals Xuangong Twelve Years.

Third, the first warrior

King Zhuang of Chu, son of King Mu of Chu, King of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period, reigned from 613 BC to 591 BC, and was one of the five rulers in the Spring and Autumn Period. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius visited the state of Chu and said that the political thought of King Zhuang of Chu was consistent with the Confucian thought of benevolence.

• Martial Arts performance

First, internal skills

Main article: Qigong, Internal Gong, and Internal strength. If you use breathing, vomiting, luck method, with the body action, to strengthen the effect of attack and defense action. Because Chinese folk thought is deeply influenced by Taoism. Taoism says that the big universe (the world) and the small universe (the body) can communicate and influence each other, so there is a so-called Qigong or internal gong practice. In this context, some Chinese martial arts schools also have “qi cultivation”, “qi training”, “luck”. In the beginning, internal kung was not the content of Chinese martial arts. After a long development, it was gradually combined with Qigong.

Second, external work

It is mainly to enhance the strength of the tendons, bones and muscles of the body to strengthen the power of attack and defense.

• Interior and exterior repair

To practice martial arts, we first practice the “stopping” skill, repairing our inner cowardice and correcting our outer violence. Here refers to the coward and violence, including thought, language and action.

First, stop the coward inside.

Knowing shame is close to courage. When we know that we are cowardly, weak, and incompetent, we can have the courage to face our shortcomings and repair it, which is courage. If we are not willing to face our own cowardice, this vulnerability, then we are not able to deal with the dangers we may face, and in fact create a crisis for ourselves… They become more cowardly and difficult to extricate themselves.

2. Stop violence outside.

Violence is characterized by aggression, and aggression is characterized by liking to “fight back” as a “victim.” Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire./Do not do to others as you would not have them do to you. The martial arts practice higher wisdom, do not create new damage, do not create new trouble to solve for themselves. Nothing in the world is the real thing.

 

• Sects and factions

Martial arts is a tool for interpersonal communication, and martial virtues are the level of interpersonal communication.

One, martial arts is not a school, only look at the fate.

There is no invincible boxing in the world, but there are invincible fighters.

Three, learn boxing must participate in actual combat training, no actual combat training people will never get started.
