Whether it is our own understanding or the training methods we have learned, it is an understanding or interpretation of Italian boxing. What is the true face of Italian boxing is our fundamental concern. To explain these in detail, we need to read Wang Xiangzhai's works, and analyze how Yiquan came into being and its uniqueness from Mr. Wang Xiangzhai's articles, such as Talking about the Essentials of Boxing, Interview with Dacheng Boxing Master, On the Right Way of Righteousness Boxing, Heart of Boxing, On the Four Shapes of Righteousness Boxing-Pile Method, Random Talk on Standing Pile, and Theory of Combining Stiffness with Flexibility. After we have a preliminary understanding, we will go to the teacher or start practicing. Don't listen blindly, it will delay our bright future.
I began to learn Italian boxing in Beijing in the spring of 1996, and I met many famous masters in Beijing. There are many unforgettable people and events in these years, as well as profound lessons and experiences. However, there is indeed an immutable iron law in the training steps of Yiquan, which contains the connotation of strength and distinguishing between true and false. A small mistake will lead to a detour for months. Sadly, most fans realized the opportunity of boxing charm at the wrong time, lamented it, and at the same time thought that it was not the natural law of liberation.
In the process of learning Italian Boxing, I always believed in the teachings of Uncle Wang Yongli, a master of Italian Boxing. Standing on a stake is the mother of Italian Boxing, and standing still means standing on a stake, so that my teacher, Mr. Li Haiming, later said that there is no way to achieve everything without standing on a stake. These are interpreted from different angles in what I have seen and heard. Aoquan is a wonderful interpretation of aesthetics, mechanics and medicine, but it is heartbreaking. We may blame the teacher or find other reasons for this situation, but everything has many factors. If you ask one more question at ordinary times, why is there such a pause? So quiet? Such a move? There will be no silly persistence without income for several years or even years.
Italian boxing is embodied in standing piles, measuring strength, exerting strength, measuring sound, pushing hands, breaking hands and dancing. Some scholars have praised it as the seven wonderful methods, and Italian boxing is as many as the seven wonderful methods. How to master these skills is a problem that many fans think hard about. In fact, our first task is to understand the idea of standing on a pile of things. On this basis, the bred results can only enter the test force and exert their strength after repeated tests.
In the aspect of piling, our first task is how to pile more permanently. A more durable pile station is based on a comfortable and effective state of mind, which should be 40 minutes to an hour and a half. If you feel a little uncomfortable, you should stop practicing. This is the way to start standing piles.
Due to personal understanding, time and other issues, the benefits of standing piles are uneven. Therefore, Mr. Wang Xiangzhai said that the quality of Yiquan cultivation kung fu is regardless of age, time or even age.
There is a lot of evidence to judge this standard, from personal awareness to verification. In the training stage, our own cognition and actual situation often have many differences. Just like when we catch a cold, the discomfort gradually increases at the beginning of the cold, and life is inconvenient, but it is not clear when the cold symptoms will pass, and it is not obvious that our life is gradually improving. If our life is declining day by day, it is obvious. We all know this truth. Only with practical experience can we count the tastes. These are also available in a spring. Standing on the stake for a while, people are obviously energetic, and even the way they walk seems light. I don't know, and I don't feel it in my own life. Moreover, in terms of pushing hands, I still hate each other's intention to cooperate, but I don't know if this is a valuable proof that it is not hard or powerful. All these are inevitable in the process of training Yiquan. It is obviously different from the educational methods we are in contact with now. However, looking back at the lifeblood of ancient education, there are many voices.
The idea of the vertical pile is gradually improved, and the criteria for judging whether to add ideas are determined by evidence such as appearance judgment and oral identification. This is the same as what Chinese medicine says about looking, smelling, asking and feeling. Although there is no industry standard, the steps of Yiquan cultivation still have their own structure. The reason why some fans have been puzzled and don't understand for a long time is probably that they have fallen into the exam-oriented education system derived from industrialization. Italian boxing is a proven and perfect kung fu that follows the laws of nature and physical hygiene.
Italian boxing advocates returning to truth and instinct. So Mr. Wang Xiangzhai said; "fist to fist".
Judging the harvest of cultivation should start with self-improvement. Since it is called boxing, it should have the power contained in it, which is nothing more than health and self-defense and fun. Never artificially separate or even normalize, just like drawing water with a sieve. Focusing on the decoration on the basket is doomed to be a tragedy.
