Routine description in the battle of Hezu
The third battle between Hezu and Zu is a very good skill-based regimen. "Three Wars of Crane and Ancestor" is the first way to introduce fierce crane boxing. Plain and simple, it is the most basic practice routine. Known as the "mother of boxing" of fierce crane boxing. As the name implies, only with the "mother" can there be a "son", that is, with the stability of the foundation (the portal of piling horses), branches and leaves (technical legs) can flourish.
This routine is a practical exercise of advancing and retreating three steps, one step after another and counting seven steps. Because fierce crane boxing is based on Yongchun White Crane Boxing, it is named "Three Wars of Crane and Ancestor" in memory of Fang Qiniang, the ancestor of White Crane Boxing. "Three Strings" is called "Three Strings" or "Three Strings", with straight head, straight body and straight horse. Also called "Zong" or "Zhong", it is required to develop a strong spirit (that is, after the puppy comes out of the water, it will bounce off for a while and shake off the water for a while, and this action of the dog is called "Dog Zongshen"). Also known as "Zhongma". Through the systematic training of the most basic horse stacking techniques, postures, footwork, leg techniques, manipulations and breathing and pranayama, the practitioners can revise the action norms, generate and use their understanding and strength, and understand the meaning of "putting and releasing freely, combining rigidity and flexibility, distinguishing light and shade, saving energy and making progress, taking root and being brave and diligent". The boxing proverb says, "If you want to be good at kung fu, you should find it in three wars" and "Learn boxing from three wars and practice until you die".
He Zu attached great importance to Dantian Gong, also known as Qigong or Internal Skill. Through the reverse thinking and breathing method, the practice is guided by ideas, and the boxing proverb says "internal breathing, external training" and "no boxing, no success in the end", which fully illustrates the importance of "three wars" Through practice, the style and characteristics of fierce crane boxing are embodied, which lays a solid foundation for learning fierce crane boxing.
