My second grandfather learned mantis boxing, which is an ancestral boxing. He can also play routines, but when he taught me boxing as a child, he rarely asked me to play routines. Those routines are just for me to warm up. He teaches boxing as a skill and won't teach it together. If he teaches boxing together, it will be ugly.
For example, double wheezing ears, that is, shaking your temples with your fists in the previous step, will never let you speak your mind in Hei Hu first, then split your palm with a wild horse, and then even double wheezing ears.
Because every move makes people lose their ability to resist, such as punching the throat and pulling out yin qi, these moves are all available.
If I've seen boxing when I grow up, it's just military boxing I learned when I was a soldier. Every move and style is meaningful, without any unnecessary fancy.
My second grandfather said that he learned this method when he was a child. Family boxing can hit people, and routines must be learned, but routines are not used to practice boxing, but to make a living.
Because people were poor before, and martial artists were even poorer. Sometimes, in order to make a living, once you are down and out, you need to perform on the street. At this time, they need to play routines. To put it bluntly, it is used for performance. However, in fact, they can't learn boxing so casually, because the extensive movement of your routine is not conducive to your strength.
So I think Taiji Chuan has been basically lost from its spread to now. You said Tai Ji Chuan was loose, the footwall was loose, and there were a lot of crotch movements. What's the use?
How can you unload your strength when others call you and you can't stand?
Unless it is a TV series, relying on people's reaction, if you want to be a latecomer, the premise must be at least stable. In martial arts, the most important thing is stability, but I really don't think Tai Chi's fairy-like loose hips can be stable.
Although Wing Chun has also been rubbed in the ring, I think Wing Chun can really fight, because Wing Chun is a southern boxing, paying attention to colorful flags and few routines. Many times, it is not for practicing routines, but for playing plum blossom piles or wall targets.
So fists like Hong Quan and Wing Chun, although ugly, can really kill people.
They all say long fists and short strokes.
Many kinds of boxing in the north like to study long boxing routines, so I really don't think there are still a few of those boxing methods that have not been lost. As far as I know, it's probably Shaolin Temple.
Because Shaolin Temple has a secret heart and no routine, it belongs to the northern short boxing.
Others that may be able to fight should be octupole boxing, seven-star mantis boxing and xingyi boxing, because these are also bunts.
Other boxing, especially Tai Ji Chuan, can only be regarded as aerobics at most.
Tai Chi Chuan: It will be soon if you don't lose it now. With the death of the older generation, it is estimated that Tai Ji Chuan is not even aerobics, because Tai Ji Chuan is getting better and better after streamlining and improving according to the "superior departments" such as the Wushu Association of the General Administration of Sport.
In particular, the latest version of the 28-style is a perfect Tai Chi dance. If you don't learn Tai Chi, you can't do it, because it's a judging routine in martial arts competitions, forcing you to learn. scold
If there's anything left in Tai Ji Chuan, it's probably the most basic eight steps. If the legendary boxing is repeated thousands of times and its meaning is true, then only the eight forms of Tai Chi essence can retain the essence of Tai Ji Chuan's true meaning.
