Zou Qiang, the inheritor of Taixu Boxing
Feng Yihui wears a hoop to practice.
Chen Changmian demonstrates Huang Xiaoxia Boxing.
According to Guangzhou Daily, in 2015, Hongquan, Taixu Boxing and Huang Xiaoxia Boxing were also selected as "non-legacy" in Guangzhou. Among the three, there are man of iron Kung Fu-Hongquan, the first of the "Thirteen Schools of Five Boxing" in Guangdong Province, Taixu Boxing, the inner-family Kung Fu of wu-tang clan, and Huang Xiaoxia Boxing, a new kung fu that combines North, South and East. It can be said that the martial arts rivers and lakes in Lingnan have been adhering to the spirit of inclusiveness for hundreds of years.
Hongquan
In 1841, more than 800 villagers in Zhuliao Town gathered in Tongsheng Society to participate in the anti-British struggle in Sanyuanli. These villagers have a deep knowledge of Hongquan, so whether they are hoes, Tian Ji knives or big rakes, they have become powerful fighting weapons in their hands.
In fact, Hongquan has been introduced into bamboo for more than 200 years, so Nanquan is called "Hongquan, Liuquan, Caiquan, Liquan and Moquan". The reporter met Feng Yihui, the city-level inheritor of Hongquan, at Tongsheng Society. At the age of 40, he looks quite young. Knowledgeable people say: when you get home from practicing boxing, you will become younger and younger.
Story: 16 disciples are pregnant with 32 routines.
Born in Zhuliao Town, Feng Yihui has the natural advantage of learning Hongquan, but his obsession with Hongquan has something to do with his grandfather’s enlightenment. Before the founding of New China, Feng Yihui’s grandfather had a good knowledge of Hong Quan. When Japan invaded Guangzhou, he was stationed in bamboo materials, and his grandfather was arrested by the Japanese as a porter. After half a year, he arrived in Jiujiang, Jiangxi. One day, when it rained heavily, he took the opportunity to stun the Japanese soldiers guarding him and fled with 13 people. After that, Grandpa joined the anti-Japanese army, and there was no news for two years. After grandpa returned to the village, he urged his people to learn Hongquan, thinking that they could defend themselves and save their lives. "If he hasn’t learned Kung Fu, he will definitely not be able to go home."
When Feng Yihui was five or six years old, she followed her grandfather to learn horse-riding steps. If you practice well, grandpa will reward him with a popsicle and a little snack. Because grandpa was 77 years old at that time and had studied for two years, grandpa asked him to take Feng Yuxin, a master of Hongquan in the same clan and lane, as a teacher and began to learn routines such as Wuxing Boxing and Xiaomeihua.
"At that time, it happened that the TV series Huo Yuanjia was hot, and I watched it very much." Inspired by Huo Yuanjia, Feng Yihui’s obsession with martial arts has been deeply rooted in his bone marrow. He studied with Feng Yuxin for 4 years. At the age of 12, he entered the ancestral temple to study Hongquan with more than a dozen mature people in the village, and formally entered the traditional martial arts school to learn. "In the martial arts school, I am the youngest." Counting, by the age of 20, Feng Yihui had worshipped all the masters of Hongquan in Zhuliao Town, and there were 16 masters in the forest.
"People may ask me why I worship so many teachers? In fact, every master has his own expertise. The master will teach students in accordance with their aptitude, with a taller senior staff and a shorter and more flexible pair of knives … In order to learn more Hongquan routines, I will learn from teachers everywhere. " Therefore, Feng Yihui is pregnant with 32 routines of Hongquan, but he also regrets that one or two sets of kung fu have not yet been obtained. So obsessed and persistent, it is no wonder that he became the inheritor of Guangzhou’s non-legacy projects at a young age.
Essence: cheer with sound, pay attention to iron rings, upper arms, iron shoes, and exercise strength.
In front of the former site of Tongsheng Social Studies in Zhuliao Primary School, Feng Yihui prepared hoes, Tian Ji knives and other equipment to show different routines for reporters. While playing, he shouted "drink", "ha" and "hey".
The biggest feature of Hongquan is that it is vigorous, hard and diverse, and cheers with sound. "When you want to take a breath, you should exhale in a vocal way. There are standardized requirements for vocalization methods, and you can’t shout at random. Shout’ hey’ for the above action! Shout’ ah’ for the flat action! Shout’ ha’ for the downward movement! Adapting to human body functions will not be counterproductive. "
After performing the routine, Feng Yihui took out a dozen iron rings from his bag and put them on his hands, clanking and punching. It turns out that another major feature of Hongquan is wearing an iron ring to practice, and the so-called "copper bridge iron horse" is also true. "In Kung Fu, shot by Stephen Chow, the tailor will be a hoop with an upper arm, and he is practicing Hong Quan. The upper arm of the iron ring exercises the hardness, strength and speed of the bridge hand, and putting on iron shoes is to enhance the strength of the footwork. I still have the iron rings left by the masters, one of which weighs four or five Jin. They usually wear four in one hand to practice. Nowadays, an ordinary hoop is usually more than a catty, and I sometimes wear ten on one hand to practice. I’ve practiced a lot. If I remove the iron ring and iron shoes, my speed and strength will be particularly good.
In the past, it was said that where there is a ancestral temple, there is lion dance, and where there is lion dance, there is Hongquan. "Because the pace of Hongquan dances with lions, lions will be particularly strong and powerful. In the 1930 s, the green was hung on the top of the third building of Guangzhou Dasanyuan, and the lion dance teams that passed by were afraid to go up to pick it. Finally, the Guanyingtang lion dance team made of bamboo borrowed the’ Mao Xingzhu’ next to it and went up. "
Taixuquan
Taixu Boxing is also known as Tai Ji Chuan of Southern School. Because Tai Ji Chuan is often regarded as Tai Chi exercise, at first, the reporter thought that Tai Xu’s punching was just three words-"slow move". When Hu Jianqiang, secretary-general of Guangzhou Taixu Boxing Club, finished the 64-style boxing, some of the fierce palms surprised the reporter. Let’s look at Zou Qiang, the provincial and municipal non-genetic inheritor of Taixu Boxing, and his son Zou Zhiwen, the president of Taixu Boxing Club in Guangzhou. His moves are rapid and changeable, and his footsteps move flexibly, which makes the reporter stunned.
It turns out that Taixu Boxing can be slow or fast, and fast comes from slow. Without more than ten years of slow practice, fast is nothing.
Story: I was bounced off a few meters away when I moved, so I became a teacher.
Zou Zhiwen said that the technique of Taixu Boxing originated from Zhang Sanfeng, a Taoist priest in Wudang, and was later passed on to Zhang Songxi and Qiu Yuanjing. It entered the palace in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, and then it was passed on in secret in the palace. After Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang and Xianfeng, it was passed on to Wu Rongyu, the ancestor of Woodman who was in the capital at that time by Xianfeng’s uncle. "Wu Rongyu brought this royal boxing to Guangdong again, and created the initial routine, passed it on to his son Wu Wenzhao, and then to Wu Xuewei. It was already the fourth generation of family heirloom by grandmaster Wu Wenwen, and the routine became more and more perfect, but it was always kept secret. In 1930s, grandmaster Woodwin moved to Guangzhou from Xinhui. After the founding of New China, he felt that the country was peaceful and the people’s sports flourished, and decided to dedicate Taixu Boxing to the world. Therefore, the Guangzhou Municipal Sports Bureau also awarded him the Wushu Honor Award. "
Zou Qiang became attached to Taixu Boxing, and there was also a period of "antiquity". When Zou Qiang was a teenager, he majored in football in Guangzhou Sports School. He often met his brother-in-law Wu Shutang’s father, Woodman, to guide him to practice boxing. One day, Woodwin saw Zou Qiang coming home from playing football and tirelessly fiddling with his movements, and asked him if he was interested in learning Kung Fu. Zou Qiang’s newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, so they directly ask, "Is this kung fu showy?" The old man said seriously on the spot, "You might as well try."
Zou Qiang, in his prime of life, made great efforts to fight Woodwin, but he only felt his shoulder move and was bounced back to the bamboo bed a few meters away, and his body leaned back. But he was not convinced, and immediately stood up and tried again, and was ejected several feet away again. This time, Zou Qiang became "unconscious", so he quickly stepped forward to ask for advice from the teacher, and from then on, he followed Woodman to learn Taixu Boxing, medicine and Chinese studies for decades.
Zou Zhiwen said: "Now my father is in his seventies, and several of my apprentices are afraid to approach him easily. Even I feel guilty when he takes a shot. " The reporter observed their father and son’s moves on the spot, and saw Zou Qiang slap his hand and go straight to Zou Zhiwen’s cheek, which could not help but hang a heart.
Essence: slow fight for health and quick fight for self-defense
Taixu Boxing, also known as "Six Elbows Forcing Flower Boxing", fights slowly for health, and fights quickly for self-defense. In the initial practice, the movements are mainly loose and soft, and each movement moves in a circle, and the chain is continuous. When starting, it can be divided into softness and rigidity, softness is single strength, rigidity is six strength, and it takes luck and cutting strength to make six strength.
"From slow to fast, you have to go up one step at a time, and you can be relaxed after you get into the meaning. Just like riding a bicycle, you will never forget it after ten years. But it will take a decade or two to reach this height. Of course, martial arts can be divided into three different functions: confrontation, health preservation and competition. Everyone can take what they need. " Zou Zhiwen said that every kind of boxing, if there is no good place, it is impossible to spread to the present.
Taixu Boxing has always attached great importance to learning rationality in its inheritance. As a direct disciple of Woodman, Zou Qiang and other students established the Guangzhou Taixu Boxing Research Association in the late 1980s, and then established the Guangdong Taixu Boxing Professional Committee, and established the Woodman Memorial Hall in Guangzhou. Now, Taixu Boxing has entered Sun Yat-sen University, and spread in the 17th Middle School, Guangdong Experimental Primary School, Danan Road Primary School and other primary and secondary schools.
Hu Jianqiang began to learn Taixu Boxing from Zou Qiang in the 1970s. At the age of 60, he likes Taixuquan more and more. "Taixu Boxing first values health care. A set of boxing can even be played for an hour. After the boxing, you will sweat but not breathe. This is exactly what Taixu Boxing advocated at the beginning of its establishment,’ health care is the purpose and morality is the fashion’." Hu Jianqiang said.
Huang Xiaoxia Boxing
In martial arts, everyone knows that Huang Xiaoxia is a famous patriotic anti-Japanese. In 1932, in the Battle of Songhu, the 19th Route Army appeared a team carrying broadswords and spears. Huang Xiaoxia, Lu Weichang, Hu Yunchuo and Lin Yintang are the "coaches" of this team.
Later, Huang Xiaoxia, who was born in Panyu, Guangzhou, integrated the Chinese and foreign martial arts he had learned all his life, and created practical boxing routines such as practicing step boxing and practicing hand boxing. In the 1980s, the State Sports Commission confirmed that this kind of boxing was an independent boxing-Huang Xiaoxia Boxing.
Today, Chen Changmian, the inheritor of Huang Xiaoxia Boxing and a coach of Guangdong Wushu Team for 30 years, is 89 years old, but he is still in charge of boxing.
Story: From "Iron-armed Yuanyang Hand" to the coach of Guangdong Wushu Team.
According to Chen Changmian, Huang Xiaoxia, a native of Panyu, was born in 1900. He studied in Shiqi country school for ten years as a teenager, and later his father asked him to study business in Xiguan. At that time, the martial arts atmosphere in Xiguan was particularly prosperous, and a man named "Hercules" Cheng Hua practiced his arm strength with a cane. Huang Xiaoxia followed him, practicing his right arm particularly powerfully, while his left arm was thinner. "Therefore, he is called’ Huang Xiaoxia, the iron-armed mandarin duck hand’." Chen Changmian laughed.
Later, Huang Xiaoxia formally studied Cai Lifo in Nanquan, and entered Jingwu Sports Association for six years. After graduation, he stayed in Jingwu Sports Association as a teacher, and studied swordsmanship and boxing with Sun Yufeng, a "Luohanmen". In 1957, Huang Xiaoxia participated in the national Wushu competition and won the gold medal, while 30-year-old Chen Changmian won the silver medal. As a result, the two began to have an intersection. "In 1958, the Guangdong Wushu Team was established, and Huang Xiaoxia was a coach, and I was a player. In 1960, the martial arts department was established in Guangzhou Institute of Physical Education. He was transferred to the martial arts department as a teacher. I happened to go to Beijing to attend the first national coaching training class. After I came back, I took over his class and became the coach of the Guangdong Wushu Team. Until 1990, I was a coach for 30 years. "
Essence: attack-oriented sideways high step
Because he has been in the front line of martial arts teaching, Chen Changmian, who is nearly 90 years old, has a loud voice and is still quick in punching. Chen Changmian told reporters that China’s martial arts are mainly divided into southern boxing and northern legs, with boxing as the main method in the south and legs as the main method in the north. Huang Xiaoxia studied Nanquan, and in Jingwu Sports Meeting, because Sun Yufeng was from Hebei Province, he taught northern knife and leg skills, so Chen Changmian got in touch with northern boxing again. Later, Huang Xiaoxia learned western boxing and fighting.
Therefore, Huang Xiaoxia later combined his personal knowledge of southern boxing, northern boxing and western boxing, made up several routines, and created a boxing method. "There should have been a boxing name, but he didn’t want to flaunt himself. At that time, he simply called it practicing hand boxing and practicing step boxing. This set of boxing created by Huang Xiaoxia is mainly offensive and characterized by sideways attack. The attack surface for the opponent is very small, and the strength of the waist is used. The boxing is very powerful, the flexion and extension are very strong, and the boxing is very fast. And always use high steps, not low steps, advance and retreat quickly; It also adopts the defensive means of left-to-left connection and right-to-right connection, which reduces the opponent’s offensive space and is very practical. "
Therefore, the essence of Huang Xiaoxia Boxing summarized by Chen Changmian is: eclectic, North and South, Chinese and foreign, attack-oriented, supplemented by prevention, sideways high step, free advance and retreat, never flaunting, and naming by hand.
