Can practicing martial arts really strengthen the body?
Nine times out of ten people now know that practicing martial arts is to keep fit, and at a higher level, they think it can cultivate sentiment and enrich life. Then the mission of martial arts spreading to the present peacetime seems to be only to keep fit. The essence of Wushu has basically disappeared, so it is hard to find it. Among many martial arts experts, only Mr. Li Zijian is still waving flags and shouting in the bamboo forest, but how many people are awake? Let's take a look at the truth of the martial arts world. This is a fact that no one can erase! When it comes to fitness, Tai Ji Chuan is the most fierce one in martial arts. Let's take a look at Tai Chi Chuan first! It has a history of 200-300 years, during which many people have appeared. Wulin experts, such as Yang Chengpu, can say that his martial arts realm is unprecedented under Yang's style. However, his life span was only forty or fifty years, and he died of cerebral hemorrhage. It should be considered an early death! Look at Chen style, for example, Chen Zhaokui, an authentic descendant of Chen style Taiji, studied under Mr. Chen Fake, and his skill level is unparalleled, creating Chen style low-key routine exercises. His representative apprentice is Mr. Ma Hong from Shijiazhuang. However, he also lived for forty or fifty years and died of cerebral hemorrhage. This cannot but be thought-provoking! Kung Fu is so good and the level is so high. Why don't people who are milestones in the history of Tai Ji Chuan live longer? Can people who practice Tai Chi today surpass the above two masters in boxing? But many people are much older than the above two masters. In the whole development history of Tai Ji Chuan, there are very few centenarians who are really over 100 years old. Only Wu Tunan lived to the age of 106. A dime a dozen practitioners, how many people can live to 100? Let's take a look at those who have practiced Dacheng Boxing. In the 1980s and 1990s, it can be said that Dacheng Boxing dominated the world. A master, Mr. Wang Xiangzhai, only lived for seventy or eighty years. His proud disciples, Mr. Wang Xuanjie and Mr. Zhao Daoxin, were unsurpassed, but both died of cerebral hemorrhage, and their life span was not long. Now take a closer look at Dacheng Boxing. Nine times out of ten, those who practice better are pregnant and hypertensive. Don't think that they are blushing and practicing well. In fact, the crisis is not far away, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will break out soon! I once met many martial arts predecessors in the process of practicing Qigong. They were all very strong when they were young, but many of them were hemiplegic when they were old. Many people who practice hard qigong can't take care of themselves and are sick. Blind boxing practice and cruel self-abuse training, coupled with unscientific boxing and blood theory, make people's lives unconsciously vulnerable to diseases, and the desire for a long and healthy life has not yet been realized, and diseases and short lives abound! Among the many centenarians in our country, most people don't know martial arts, let alone practice it, but they just live a long and happy life. Therefore, you don't have to practice martial arts to live a long and healthy life. You can also achieve the goal of health and longevity in many other ways. Don't blindly trust people with many titles, such as masters and professors.
