What is the true meaning of fighting skill?

Martial arts can be divided into modern martial arts and traditional martial arts in China. The highest state of modern fighting is Bruce Lee's summary that "it is impossible to have a law and infinite is limited". The highest state of China's traditional martial arts is three levels: refining qi, refining spirit and refining spirit. As far as Xingyiquan is concerned, Guo Yunshen summarized Xingyiquan as three levels of truth, three steps of kung fu and three training methods.

One or three reasons

1. Practice refined qi; 2, practice gasification; 3, practicing the spirit is also virtual (practicing it to change people's temperament and restore its true nature).

two or three-step kung fu

1. Easy bone: practice it to build its foundation and strengthen its body. The bone body is as hard as stone, while the form and temperament are as majestic as Mount Tai.

2. Yi Jin: Practice it to make its membrane swell, to lengthen its tendons (as the saying goes: tendons are strong), and its strength is connected vertically and horizontally, and it grows endlessly.

3. Wash the marrow: practice to clear the deficiency in the body, so as to relax the body. The image of clearing the deficiency in the body: use with air, round and live without stagnation, and it is as light as a feather (the fist sutra says: three times and nine turns are one style, that is, this meaning is also).

three, three kinds of training methods

1. Ming Jin: the training is always based on the rules, the body movements should be smooth and not surly, and the ups and downs of the hands and feet should be neat and not scattered. The fist sutra says, "the square is right" means this.

2, dark strength: the spirit of practice should be stretched without restraint, and the application should be flexible and lively without stagnation. The fist sutra says, "Those who are round should respond to the outside" means this.

3. Exercising strength: The whole body and limbs are moving, and you can't exert yourself to rise and fall, advance and retreat, so you can use it with god's will. Although it is the use of divine will, the formal rules are still the same as the first two. Although the whole body is not focused, it cannot be completely focused, and it is always in the ear of God. The fist sutra says: "Three turns and nine turns are one style", that is, this meaning is also.

IV. Discuss in detail the bright strength, dark strength and turning strength

1. Bright strength

Those who are bright strength are the strength of boxing. Those who change their bones are practicing refined qi and changing their bones. Because the innate qi in human body does not match the acquired qi, and the constitution is not strong, the Tao was invented. Generally speaking, beginning of life was born with no bad nature, no healthy body and no solid roots, which is purely congenital. In the future, when the knowledge is opened, the spirit is closed, and the yin and yang are not in harmony, all of which are acquired by blood and gas, so the blood and gas are prevalent and the vital qi is weak, so that the bones and muscles of the body cannot be strong. Therefore, in the past, Master Dharma handed down two classics, namely, relaxing muscles and washing marrow. Xi Zhi strengthened human body and restored its original appearance as beginning of life. Later, King Wu Mu of Song Yue expanded the meaning of the two meridians as three meridians: Yi Gu, Yi Jin, and Wash the marrow. The three meridians were made into boxing, and the purpose of this meridian was invented. The fist sutra says, "quietness is the essence, movement is the function", which is different from the ancient five birds and eight-segment training method. Because of the infinite magical functions of boxing, there are all the people who are easy to change bones, tendons and marrow, who are mixed with yin and yang, who are rigid and flexible, silent and odorless, and well-informed in the void. Therefore, only with its vanity and well-informed whole body can there be a magical effect of deification and contingency. Therefore, boxing is internal and external, dynamic and static, and the body is used together, so static is the noumenon and dynamic is the function. Because man-made world is a small place, it is all consistent with the principle of heaven and earth, but it is easier to change the yin and yang of heaven and earth. Can't it be easy for people to be weak and just angry, since they are in harmony with the truth of heaven and earth? Therefore, the easier way is that the weak are easy to be strong, the soft are easy to be strong, and the rebellious are easy to sum. Therefore, the three classics all change people's temperament to restore their original state. Those who change bones are the bright strength in boxing and practice the way of refining qi. Put the scattered qi in the human body into the abdomen, be impartial, harmonious and not flowing, and exercise with the scale of nine essentials, so that the six yang are perfect and vigorous, that is, the fist is connected from top to bottom, the brothers and sisters care for each other, and the inside and outside are one. At this point, the power of Ming Jin in boxing is exhausted, the strength of Yi Gu is complete, and the power of practicing refined Qi is also finished.

2. Dark strength

Those who have dark strength are also soft in the fist (soft strength is different from softness: soft is weak, and soft is not weak), that is, they practice the way of invigorating the spirit and changing the muscles. Practice the bright energy first, then practice the dark energy, that is, Dan Dao stops the fire on a small Sunday and then uses the kung fu on a big Sunday. Ming Jin stops, that is, the bath of Xiao Zhou Tian is also. The dark strength of the hands and feet stopped without stopping, that is, the bathing of the four days of the week was also. The strength used in boxing is to close the spirit of form and gas (that is, god means meaning) and pull back hard with both hands (that is, there is contraction force inside), which means pulling a wire. Push your hands forward and backward: push your left hand forward and pull your right hand back; Or push the right hand forward and pull the left hand back, which means tearing silk floss; Like pulling a hard bow with both hands. Pull it apart slowly and forcefully. Turn your hands or right hand outward, and wrap your left hand inward. Or turn your left hand outward and wrap your right hand inward, just like practicing both hands in the shape of a snake, or practicing the wrapping boxing of a chain boxing. The fist sutra says, "Those who are wrapped are like packages that are not exposed". Pushing forward with both hands is like pushing a heavy object with wheels, which means pushing forward without moving, and it means pushing without moving. Push your feet hard. When your front feet land, your feet land first, and there is no sound. Then meet the ground, with the same force as pressing something forward and down with your hand. Push hard on the hind foot, as if striding across the ditch. The fist sutra says: "The feet will not fail in their intentions", which is the front foot; "The news depends on the back foot pedal", which is the back foot; "a horse has the power to trace its hoof." It's all a matter of words. Both feet advance and retreat, bright and dark, and the two steps are the same. However, if you are bright, you will have sound, but if you are dark, you will have no ears.

3. Exercising energy

Exercising energy means practicing the spirit and returning to deficiency, which is also called the kung fu of washing marrow. It is to practice the dark energy to be soft and smooth, which is called the extreme of softness, and the end of the dark energy is also. Dan Jing says: "Yin and Yang are mixed, and they are rigid and flexible, which is called Dan Shu". The end of softness is the beginning of strength. Therefore, combined with kung fu, practicing the spirit is still empty, so that the form and spirit are all in harmony with the truth, so that it is silent and odorless, which is called taking off Dan. The fist sutra refers to "no fist, no intention, no intention is true", which means turning strength. Practicing god is still empty, and the work of washing pulp is finished. Exercising strength is different from practicing rowing strength. Bright strength and dark strength, but also have a strong stroke. Rowing strength means that both hands are short of ups and downs, which is also called short strength. Just like grabbing at the wall with your hand, when you make a downward stroke, your hand still comes back to you, so it is called stroking. Those who practice physical strength are the same as those in the first two steps, and the strength used is different. The fist sutra says: "Three turns and nine turns are one style", which is also the meaning. Three times, practicing refined qi, practicing qi and spirit, and practicing spirit returning to emptiness, that is, bright strength, dark strength and turning strength are also true. Three times, bright, dark and energetic are one type; Nine turns, nine turns to pure yang. It is also reasonable to turn to nothingness and return to pure yang. When practicing, move your hands and feet in the form of the first two steps. Don't use force. Don't be stubborn and don't use force. Use your ears with your heart inside and outside. The force used in hand-foot movements, with or without, is real and Ruo Xu. The use of qi in the abdomen is also unintentional, and it is not unintentional. It is intended to accumulate the ear of the virtual spirit. Breathing seems to be like nothing, which is the same as breathing when Dan Dao Kung Fu, Yang Sheng is full, returning to the furnace, sealing and stopping, and bathing. Therefore, it seems that there is nothing, all of which are true interest, and it is also a wonderful use of one god. Zhuang Ziyun: "Real people breathe with their heels", which is what I mean, not to hold my breath. Practice with labor, don't stop, practice until you are empty, have no body and no heart, and you will be in harmony with the truth. At this time, I can be the same as Taixu. In the future, if you practice virtual harmony, you will be silent and motionless, and you will be able to communicate with your feelings. You will not be complacent if you don't enter, and you will not be able to do it if you don't go. The fist sutra says: "Those who are tempted by the roots of the spirit are also martial arts; Those who cultivate spiritual roots and meditate will also cultivate. " Therefore, Xingyiquan and Dandao are combined into one.
