Sun Wu is from Lushan, Henan. China famous professional Sanda champion coach, special guest of WKA (World Free Fighting Federation) in Europe, special tutor of Wulin Wind column of Henan TV Station, who won excellent results in Wulin Wind Finals of Henan TV Station in 2006, 2007 and 2008. As a professional athlete and coach who has been engaged in Wushu Sanda for nearly ten years, he has accumulated profound martial arts skills and the ability to guide and train new people, becoming the first person in Japan and Europe to enter the professional arena and win advantages. After 20 13 retired from the army, Sun Wu studied Tai Ji Chuan with the famous Chen Tai Ji Chuan, and then promoted Tai Ji Chuan abroad with his master for a long time, which had a great influence in European countries. 2065438+In July, 2005, Tai Ji Chuan World interviewed Mr. Sun Wu exclusively. World Tai Ji Chuan Network: You used to be an excellent professional boxer. Later, you devoted yourself to the study of traditional Taiji Kung Fu, which has unique advantages in both modern sports and traditional Kung Fu practice. Please talk about relevant aspects. Sun Wu: Today, I am very happy to be a guest on the World Tai Ji Chuan Network. I am a professional boxer. On 20 13, I officially joined master Chen Xiaowang, the first 19 leader of Chen taiji, and became a disciple. 1999 began to join the Sanda team of Henan Province, to conduct professional training, and retired in 2005. After retiring, I have been participating in some competitions of Wulin Wind. I won the year-end championship in Wulin Wind for three times, and now I am mainly engaged in the promotion and teaching of Tai Ji Chuan. Actually, my whole family has been practicing Tai Ji Chuan since childhood. When I was young, my father mentioned the name Chen Xiaowang to me, but at that time, I was too young to meet him.

Later, the Sanda team had a holiday. Every time I go home, my father tells me, have you practiced Tai Ji Chuan? Because I was young, I didn't have time to practice this thing in the sports team. Perhaps by fate, I came into contact with my long-admired teacher, Chen Xiaowang. In recent years, the teaching and promotion of Tai Ji Chuan has been carried out abroad. When I was an apprentice, it happened to be 20 13, 10 year1October 28th. At that time, CCTV-4 Chinese International Channel was giving a program to Master, so we put this thing in. For so many years, Master has been accepting apprentices from CCTV alone. What impressed me most at that time was that Master gave me a speech when I was accepting disciples. One of the steps of accepting disciples was that Master gave lectures. The expectation of the disciples is a link. Master told me that I would like to teach you what I have learned all my life without reservation. Together, we will carry forward Tai Ji Chuan. That year, Master was 68 years old and I was 29 years old. I had been studying with Master before, but it was later that I paid homage to him. I learned a lot from Tai Ji Chuan and many good qualities from Master. World Tai Ji Chuan Network: What kept you going in the process of promoting Tai Ji Chuan? Sun Wu: Actually, during my years as an apprentice, I feel that it is more of a responsibility and an obligation to push Taiji Chuan. I think I should do such a thing. When I traveled around the world with Master and taught Tai Ji Chuan, I also encountered many problems, that is, people's understanding of Tai Ji Chuan became superficial. Too many people think Tai Chi Chuan is like a watermelon, cut in half, half here, half here, soft.

Many people also question the actual combat ability of Taiji Chuan. Tai Ji Chuan is called Boxing, which is the most primitive fighting method. Tai Ji Chuan is a kind of boxing with vitality, and Wushu is an important way to show its vitality. With the development of society, the focus has shifted to health preservation, but the soul of Wushu cannot be lost. The History of Tai Ji Chuan In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Chenjiagou in wen county, Henan Province was the birthplace of Chen-style Tai Ji Chuan. Chen-style Tai Ji Chuan was first used in fighting in Chen, and fighting skills and fighting skills used in fighting must be its strengths. With the peace of the world, Tai Ji Chuan has gradually become a health-preserving body, and gradually removed the lumps. Therefore, Tai Ji Chuan, who has been practicing for so many years now, has always been soft, and everyone will inevitably have some misunderstandings about Tai Ji Chuan, which is not comprehensive enough. Everyone said that Tai Ji Chuan was trained by old men and women. One of my important purposes now is to discover the essence of Tai Ji Chuan and let everyone know that Tai Ji Chuan can fight and attack, and it is very powerful in actual combat. I've practiced fighting before. In recent years, Tai Ji Chuan's understanding of fighting has been sublimated, and Tai Ji Chuan's skills have been deeply understood in fighting. World Taiji Chuan Wang: It can combine Sanda fighting with Taiji Kung Fu. Sun Wu: Yes, this combination is inevitable and natural. For example, the whole body should exert its strength in the competition, and the level of exertion is constantly improving. Tai Ji Chuan has a good training method in this field. Some people think that Sanda fighting and Tai Chi are two completely incompatible things, and this is an experience without them.

I feel that they are the same after my own research. It can be combined in training methods, using techniques and fighting consciousness, which is very powerful. Our original purpose is to dig the essence of Tai Ji Chuan's fighting, to reverse a misunderstanding that Tai Ji Chuan can't go to the ring, and to let everyone fully understand Tai Ji Chuan. In this process, we found much more things than originally expected. Feel the actual combat charm of traditional Tai Ji Chuan. World Tai Ji Chuan Network: Mr. Chen Xiaowang is a boxer who advocates Tai Ji Chuan Wushu. Sun Wu: In the process of promoting Tai Ji Chuan, Master gave me a lot of help. The last time was in March, 20 14. In order to change the misunderstanding that Tai Ji Chuan can't play, we set up Tai Ji Chuan Artest team, and we organized a match with Muay Thai. As we all know in Tai Ji Chuan, Muay Thai is a 500-year unbeaten myth. Fighting with them will test our actual combat ability. (Tai Chi-Muay Thai Fighting Competition held in Pingdingshan on 20 14) Some of our other disciples have practiced in Tai Ji Chuan for many years, and they also have the foundation of fighting ring. We had seven games at that time. Seven players from China and seven players from Thailand finally won 5:2 and played in Pingdingshan. At that time, the leaders of Pingdingshan City and Sports Bureau were on the scene, and so was Master. We just want to let everyone know that Tai Chi Chuan can fight in the ring, but Tai Chi Chuan can't fight. The game went well. My father was glad that we won, not only because of the victory, but more importantly, we used many skills in Tai Ji Chuan, such as strength, which other athletes didn't have.

The eight kinds of exertion we talked about in Tai Ji Chuan, shed, row, squeeze, press, pick, row, elbow and lean, are the essence of our China Wushu and the most exquisite and beautiful things in Tai Ji Chuan. On the way back, Master talked to me earnestly. He said that this kind of actual combat was very good, which fulfilled a dream I had thirty years ago. Thirty years ago, I wanted to form such a Sanda Tai Ji Chuan team to deal with all kinds of boxing, which is also a wish of my master. (Chen Xiaowang presented the prize in Pingdingshan Taiji-Muay Thai Competition on 20 14) (Chen Xiaowang demonstrated Taiji Kung Fu in the competition) World Tai Ji Chuan Network: Are there any obstacles in promoting Tai Ji Chuan abroad? Sun Wu: In the past two years, we have been doing some work to promote Tai Ji Chuan in Europe. Last year, we successfully held the first Tai Chi Culture Festival in Germany, which was supported by the Consulate General of China in Hamburg and was very successful. It is in this way that we let Europeans appreciate the unique charm of China culture. There is a very interesting thing. Last year, we had classes in Germany. At the end of a class, the height of a student is about 1.98 meters. He has practiced free fighting and some antagonistic events before. He came to me after class and said, Teacher Sun, this Tai Ji Chuan is very good. Can you communicate with me? At that time, I thought he was nearly two meters tall and very strong. He wants to fight me. I remember he took a pair of gloves and wanted to go to the boxing ring. Because when we have class, we do it in the gym. I agreed at that time and put on gloves as soon as I got into the ring.

The man said, teacher, do you prefer to play once every minute or once every three minutes? I said, no problem, anything. When we were fighting in the ring, he immediately posed as a boxer. We started fighting in the ring, and our fighting lasted for about a few tens of seconds. At this time, I found an opportunity. The man came to the corner of the ring and I found an opportunity gap. I followed him and kicked him in the ribs with a whip. At that time, he got angry and squatted there. At this time, I wanted to play combination boxing quickly, but at this time he said, stop, stop. I stopped, and after that, he was very surprised. In his impression, China's Tai Chi is soft. He said, why are you so powerful? I gave him an example, just like when we make McDonald's in China, we can never make the taste you foreigners like. Tai Ji Chuan in China belongs to us. There are many things in it that we China people can understand and absorb, and we can't explain a word. At that time, the man admired it. He knelt there and kowtowed to me, asking me to be a teacher. The next day, he directly took six students to practice with me. So many people don't know enough about whether Tai Ji Chuan can fight. We want to use Tai Chi, a form of kung fu, to let people know Tai Ji Chuan more comprehensively. (Sun Wu integrates Tai Chi Kung Fu into fighting techniques) World Tai Ji Chuan Network: Have you practiced martial arts since you were a child? Sun Wu: Yes. When I was a child, my father was famous in several surrounding villages. Growing up, every day after school, my father taught me to start marching, standing on piles and being a cloud hand.

When I was four or five years old, my family lived on the second floor and the first floor. That is the sandbag that my father often practices. There is a clearing below, which is used for practicing martial arts. Every day when I come home from school, my father makes me squat on the first floor. I couldn't squat down at that time, so I put a bowl of water on my head. The water has fallen, so it's not counted back this time. I've been in jail for ten minutes, fifteen minutes. At that time, I was too young to squat. I'm lazy there. There is a mirror upstairs. Every time my father looks at me from upstairs, I can see him in the mirror. So you can be lazy for a while. I felt bored at that time. Looking back now, I still laid the foundation when I was a child, which will be useful in the future. Our classmates in the same village all went out to play after school, and I was still squatting at home. Later, as I grew older, I went to the provincial team. Some time before I went to the provincial team, I practiced Taekwondo in Pingdingshan Sports School, just in time for the provincial team to go to the countryside to select sports seedlings. There were more than 30 contestants at that time, and I was selected. There are three events. One is the10,000-meter run. Our playground is 400 meters. I ran 25 laps and won easily. The second level is to practice reaction. I passed everything, so I was selected for the provincial team. I practiced in the provincial team for about a year. On one occasion, it was an exchange match between the youth of the provincial teams. It's simple. I knocked each other down easily. Later, I learned that the other party was a big brother and practiced for five or six years. Now practicing boxing, I feel that my past efforts have not been in vain and have played a role. Of course, after talking to Teacher Chen, Master talked about Tai Ji Chuan's techniques and boxing theory. Through boxing theory, he improved his understanding and gradually felt that he had some unique understanding and sentiment.

Master thinks I know something about this. (Sun Wu demonstrates the traditional Chen style Tai Ji Chuan Kung Fu) World Tai Ji Chuan Network: What do you think is the difference between people with basic skills practicing Tai Ji Chuan and those without basic skills practicing Tai Ji Chuan? Sun Wu: I used to run a martial arts school, and I also worked as a Sanda coach, including taking some members of Wulin Wind to the competition later. Especially after contacting Master and Tai Ji Chuan in recent years, my understanding of China Wushu has deepened to a new level. Because many athletes are participating now, of course, there are winners and losers. Youth is short. We have many athletes. After retirement, you can either be a bodyguard or open a martial arts school. We have accumulated more than ten years in the provincial team. After retirement, everyone stopped doing this thing. Its continuity is not. It's no use losing the foundation. Even if there is no foundation, through constant practice, the effect will continue to appear. So there is a difference between persistence and non-persistence. One more thing, if you have a foundation, are you practicing correctly? If not, the foundation will be crooked. This has become a drag. World Tai Ji Chuan Network: What kind of concept do you think Tai Ji Chuan is in China Wushu system now? Sun Wu: What about Tai Ji Chuan? I think it is the highest realm of martial arts, including oriental philosophy. This is a crucial boxing. I want to set an example for everyone through my own efforts, that is, Tai Ji Chuan's practical example. Tai Ji Chuan and Sanda fighting are completely interlinked, which is not just talk. When it reached a certain height, I completely figured it out. Have a fighting foundation, practice Tai Ji Chuan for another year, and catch up with three years without a martial arts foundation.

People who can fight have flexibility and coordination, and they have a deeper understanding of martial arts than they do. Then if you add Tai Chi, it will be better understood. I seldom engage in Sanda competitions now. What I do most now is to explain the relationship between Tai Chi and fighting to students and guide them to practice. Let more younger brothers and sisters learn from Tai Ji Chuan. What I just said is that athletes must win and lose when they compete to a certain extent, and practicing Tai Ji Chuan is also helpful to their psychology and mentality. When the game reaches a certain state, winning or losing really doesn't matter. The key is where the direction of kung fu is. People are constantly growing, and it is impossible to stay in court all the time. By then, the life of the game will definitely be compressed. At this time, you should know this Tai Ji Chuan and study the fundamental direction of Wushu. World Tai Ji Chuan Network: Is this your goal of promoting Tai Ji Chuan in the future? Sun Wu: Yes. We just want to make some efforts and contributions to Tai Ji Chuan. In the future, we will organize some actual combat competitions related to Tai Ji Chuan, so that everyone can have a more comprehensive understanding of Tai Ji Chuan, which is also a part of promoting Tai Ji Chuan. At present, there are many teachers, promoters and practitioners in Tai Ji Chuan. They know that Tai Ji Chuan has kung fu, and some people question Tai Ji Chuan's kung fu. Now I want to work with you to reverse the misunderstanding that Tai Ji Chuan is not practical. Together, we will carry forward Tai Ji Chuan.
