Another important aspect of wing chun is health preservation. Wing Chun is not so much a set of boxing as a set of qigong. Among the numerous martial arts schools in China, only Slow Taiji and Wing Chun belong to soft qigong. The obvious difference between soft qigong and hard qigong is that soft qigong comes quickly, as you like. Hard qigong is similar to the performances we are familiar with. For example, we often break a big stone in our chest and stab our throat with a golden gun. However, this kind of hard qigong is difficult to practice, easy to get possessed and hurt the body, so it is impossible to play it at any time. It takes a long time to prepare for the performance. Wing Chun's soft qigong is to guide qi from the mind and force with qi as you like. Wing Chun Boxing has little movement, but strength is the strength of the whole body. Instant explosion, strong penetration and great power! A woman who has mastered the Wing Chun method can generally give out 1 more than her own weight. Five times the strength, this is the charm of Wing Chun! And it's instantaneous!
Most people who practice wing chun boxing don't look strong, but their strength is amazing. As we all know, Bruce Lee is 172 in the western world. His figure should be relatively thin, but his strength is short and strong, which is also the charm of Wing Chun soft qigong. No matter how Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do changes, his favorite and necessary kung fu is the big soft qigong called Xiaoxi!
Wing Chun is not only powerful, but also fast, which can be controlled at will and sent and received freely. When you compete with your opponent, you can completely subdue him without hurting others. Therefore, wing chun is a very kind and wonderful kung fu. Even in a fierce battle, you can be very elegant. Different from some fighting techniques, Wing Chun can fight with people with a smile, just like Ip Man in the film.
Wing Chun's movements are very small. Even Ye Wen and Bruce Lee themselves won't feel a strong visual impact when demonstrating Wing Chun routines, which confirms the old saying that "what looks good may not be easy to use, but what works may not look good". Wing Chun is characterized by quickness, accuracy and firmness. Only a short distance can be faster. Wing Chun hit the target accurately. Wing Chun's boxing theory is that both offense and defense are on the same line. This line is the center line. This midline is the most unbearable blow. There are important acupoints on this line. Judging from the strength, tapping the center line with your fingers will be very painful. When others sneak attack, people will instinctively rotate along the center line, so that the strength of the other party's attack will be dissolved a lot.
Wing Chun Boxing is a family-run boxing method, paying attention to both internal and external cultivation! Exercise your muscles and bones outside, and your breathing is highly coordinated inside. In fact, it's just a habitual training and training of breathing and body movements! The difficulty may not be as good as ordinary sports! The requirements for physical fitness and flexibility are not high! Ordinary people can! Men, women and children can practice, allowing the body to be weak, but the whole body must be light, clever, rigid and soft, especially the limbs must have strong strength to defend each other's fists and feet. At the same time, quickly counterattack the opponent. Wing Chun advocates natural physique and natural strength, and wins with speed and skill rather than absolute strength in fighting. Martial arts, which emphasize basic skills and physical resistance, generally belong to foreign martial arts, such as hitting your body with a stick to make your skin and periosteum tougher. But the human body is flesh and blood after all, and many people can't stand the pain of practicing! So many people feel that martial arts is out of reach for this reason!
In fact, wing chun boxing is suitable for all stages, all ages, and pays attention to practicing the whole body. When the whole body is highly coordinated, practicing the first set of wing chun boxing for a year can get through the second pulse of Ren Du, but it is not as exaggerated as in the movie, and you can fly over the eaves and climb the wall. However, it allows us to concentrate our thoughts and spirits at any time, increase our reflection speed and make efforts to speed up recruitment.
