Traditional Wushu stresses "reinforcing tendons and pulling out bones". From a scientific point of view, there are two kinds of "big tendons". One is the tendons and ligaments between joints, which are used to fix bones and joints and maintain the elasticity of joints. Another material that connects "muscle" with bone joints is different from muscle but integrated with muscle, such as "Achilles tendon". Where there are joints, there are "big tendons", so when people exercise, the whole human body is connected by big tendons. It is generally difficult to tell whether to use "big tendons or muscles", so it is very vague. Bodybuilders, by constantly stimulating muscles, make muscles developed and have lines, while we practice boxing, the opposite is true. Try to avoid muscle exertion, make the muscles in a relaxed state, and tighten the muscles with various resistances before they can bounce and produce faster speed and strength. A good boxer must be very familiar with his body structure, so that he can distinguish before practicing and make qualitative changes!

Tendon pulls bone (the core of traditional boxing)

1, the traditional boxing is to use "stretching" to train strength, so the muscles are not very developed, but the skin is thick and the bones are generous and strong. In fact, traditional boxing does not exclude muscles, but focuses on "joint tendons", and muscles, as the intermediary connecting joints, have changed from muscle expansion to muscle collapse, and their action ability has become simpler and more violent. The ultimate goal is to produce stronger speed and strength. "Big muscles" are not easy to fatigue, can work hard for a long time, will not decline quickly, and even become more and more energetic, achieving low energy consumption and high efficiency. At the same time, frequent "bone extraction" makes the limbs extremely "hard", and at this time the muscles are relaxed, which has reached the legendary "iron in cotton" realm. Traditional boxing will also practice some heavy equipment, such as "stone locks, stone shoulders, steel ball bags ...", which is relatively heavy. It seems that you can't play without muscles. In fact, with the help of "lifting the internal organs", the weight of the body is used to counter the weight of the equipment, but it looks very leisurely. The training of instruments is also a special training method of "hanging the weight of the body on the hand", and it is the only way to combine the bones and muscles with the internal organs. Can achieve "arms like lead", the potential is heavy, fascia soaring, arms like knives, and there is a tendency to "cut the gordian knot"!

2. The relationship between "joints and tendons" is like a string of beads connected in series with rubber bands. When the bead is stretched, the tendon collapses, and when the bead is tightened, the tendon returns to its original state, but the tendon is the tendon and has been stretched all the time, so there is no problem of complete relaxation. This is similar to what we call "Jin Peng". The muscles are relaxed, but each joint has slight support. The so-called "supporting the bone and pulling out the bone" is to tighten it on the basis of "tightening" to produce "elasticity" in which all joints cooperate with each other. It's no use pulling a bead. You must tighten the rope. They are a whole. The joints of human body are a "motion system", which contains and influences each other. The contraction and expansion of the human body is the opening and closing of joints, not just the movement of the body. When we try our best, all the joints "open and close" instantly, even several times in a row. This is the so-called "body like a spring"!

3. In the process of practicing "pulling tendons and pulling bones", some friends are fine, but they can't find flexibility. There are two reasons: first, the body is too loose, the muscles are loose, and the "big tendons" of the whole body are loose, just like "strings". If the string is too loose, you can't "play" and you can't send it. On the other hand, it is too tight, and the "muscle" texture of the body is relatively "hard", which is manifested in some friends deliberately training muscle blocks. The tightness changes so much that I can't adjust the muscles myself, so that the muscles always tightly wrap the joints, which can't be pulled out, and the big tendons can't be stretched out, losing the ability to collapse.

In the process of practicing "muscles and bones", we should firmly grasp the intention of "middle tightness, middle tightness and breaking in the string", and never talk about "looseness", because looseness can't pull up the big muscles, and we can't understand where the "elastic" comes from. At the same time, it is required that "muscles" cannot exert force. Is this a contradiction? Its essence is to form resistance through the "grinding" of limbs, and sew joints with the help of resistance. This is a key point, resistance rather than muscle strength. Knowing the difference can get twice the result with half the effort. When the joint is sewn open and the tendon is cracked, a slight "bang" sound can be produced. At this time, we will start to find music to play. How loud the sound is and how to play it is equivalent to finding a clue, which is the path of ascension. When the strength can come out, we must feel the toughness of "Dajin". If we find this feeling, we can turn one-sided power into multi-directional power, and we can achieve more than one situation, that is, the "spiritual power" we are pursuing!

All my bones and muscles are in harmony.

"Singing with bones and muscles" is an essential factor for all previous Wulin masters to measure the level of kung fu! Punch your legs, shake your body out of the tip, and come crashing out. The bones and muscles of the whole body make a "bang, bang" sound, just like the dubbing scene in a martial arts film. The gas field is full and everyone thinks it's amazing! In fact, this is the sound of bones and muscles, and it is a sign of joint opening. The joint is located in the joint capsule, and the joint is fixed by the big white tendon. This substance is elastic. When the joints are sewn open, the tendons are pulled apart to produce elasticity, which can play the role of assisting joint ejection, making the limbs collide with each other instantly like slingshots ejecting marbles, with high speed and great strength. Moreover, in the joint capsule, the joint suddenly closes from opening to closing, resulting in joint cavity sound. The ancients used it to judge the right and wrong of practice, and they could know the right and wrong of practice through the room. In fact, all this can be done quickly. I know the structure of the body, the principle of strength, the relationship between joints and tendons, and practice step by step. In a short period of one year, I can develop most joints of my body, raise my hand and shout, with the characteristics of a master! When a person has this potential, practicing boxing is a simple patchwork, no longer unfathomable!
