Brief introduction of Ruan Qishan's Wing Chun Boxing

Ruan Qishan Wing Chun Boxing is one of the schools of Wing Chun Boxing, which is mainly spread in Guangdong. Ruan Qishan was born in a wealthy family in Foshan. He loved martial arts since he was a child, and worshipped Huo Baoquan, the fourth generation descendant of Yongchun Gate, as his teacher. Ruan Qishan learned how to integrate boxing scientifically, combining the skills of Wing Chun Gate, such as boxing, stake, knife and stick. Ruan Qishan, Ye Wen and Cai Yao are also called "Three Outstanding Wing Chun Fighters". Its descendants are not only spread all over Guangdong, such as Foshan and Guangzhou, but also many people abroad. The following is what I arranged for you: a brief introduction to Ruan Qishan's Wing Chun Boxing.

The Formation and Development of Ruan Qishan's Wing Chun Boxing

Wing Chun Boxing is said to be created by Fujian Wing Chun Boxing. Yan Yongchun, the daughter of Yan Si, a hermit in Wulin, absorbed the boxing methods such as Baihe School, Zonghe Boxing and Fujian Shaolin Boxing. , and combined with the characteristics of snake crane fighting, created wing chun boxing. Later, because he moved to Nanxiong County, Guangdong Province, he spread this boxing to Guangdong. This boxing is popular in Guangzhou, Zhaoqing, Shunde, Heshan and other places. According to the principle of "long hands can make nature, short hands can protect themselves", this boxing is characterized by "short bridge and narrow horse, short strength", and the characters of "fist, bridge, arm, finger, palm", "swallowing, spitting, floating, sinking" and "sheep and horse" are the symbols of hand, body and footwork. Quick and sensitive action, with static braking; Both rigidity and softness, both rigidity and softness; Rich in attack and defense, emphasizing practicality. In Qionghua Society of Foshan Cantonese Opera "Red Boat", several disciples of Liyuan, Wang Huabao, Jin Lu and Gao Laozhong, performed with the Red Boat Troupe in Nanxiong. Liang loves Cantonese opera and often goes to the opera troupe. Starring Wang Huabao, Zhang Fei, who is loyal to the liver and brave, plays a military commander, Liu Bei, who is loyal to the old man, and "Once upon a time in America" move Liang from the audience, and the three get to know each other. After many twists and turns, glamorous Liang and Wang Huabao fell in love with Gao Lao at first sight. Liang Suihong Boat Troupe went south to settle in Guangzhou. Later, Liang accepted Wang Huabao, Dahua Mianjin and Gao Laozhong as disciples.

In the future, Wang Huabao will teach Wing Chun skills to Liang Erdi, a good friend of the troupe. Liang Erdi passed the boxing to Liang Zan, a native of Gulao Township, Heshan County. On the occasion of Wang Huabao's 50th birthday, Liang Erdi and his apprentice Liang Zan went to celebrate his birthday, so Liang Zan met Wang Huabao. Wang Huabao appreciated Liang Zan; He even accepted Liang Zan as a closed disciple.

After completing his skills under Wang Huabao, Liang Zan opened Zansheng Hall (later renamed Xingji Hall) in Chopsticks Street, Foshan Town, Guangdong Province, selling medicine and practicing medicine, and taught students Wing Chun boxing skills in Zansheng Hall. Liang Zan's disciples are (looking for money), (pigs), (rogue Qi) and his son Liang Bi. There are many disciples in Chen Huashun, among which Lei Ruji, He Xiangjian, Wu Shaolu, He Hanlv, Wu and his son Ru Chenmian are the most representative. Chen Rumian passed on his boxing skills to his two sons. Wu Chuanzi, pass on the disciples' candles. Chen Huashun died of a stroke. At that time, he studied under Liang with Wang Huabao in Guangzhou, learning Wing Chun skills, and then stayed in Guangzhou. In the future, Dahua Mianjin has created a martial arts hero with great achievements and a generation of famous catchers Feng and Wing Chun techniques. At that time, it had entered the era of Ganjia in the late Qing Dynasty.

?

Feng, a native of Shunde, Guangdong Province, is famous for his martial arts and chivalrous spirit. He once served as a military attache in yamen of Dushi County (now Zhongshan City) in Guangdong Province and the government of Taiwan Province. In the eighth year of Xianfeng (1858), he followed Luo, a famous Hunan minister in the Qing Dynasty, as a military attache. An important aide of Zeng Guofan's political group. He used to be a provincial judge in Hubei, a political history in Guizhou, and a loyal servant in Yunnan. In the eleventh year of Xianfeng, Luo served as the governor of Sichuan and Feng as the public security of Sichuan. In the post of chief inspector of the provincial government, he fought against all kinds of powerful and fierce bandits. Ruan Chongming, a juren in the late Qing Dynasty, has a distinguished family background. Ruan Chongming not only operated many factories and businesses in Foshan and the provincial capital, including the drugstore "Ruan's Harmony Hall" which was tried in Foshan Street at that time, but also was awarded the Doctor's Degree by the court, acting as an agent for education, culture, religion and postal services in Zhili and Fengtian (now Hebei and Liaoning) provinces. Ruan Chongming donated his official position. At that time, there was a system of buying officials to fill vacancies The official position donated is actually appointed, and the official buyer must be handsome and talented.

Out of the intersection and pity of officialdom, Ruan Chongming betrothed his daughter (that is, Ruan Qishan's half-sister) to Luo Tianqi, Luo's second son. Because of the in-laws between Luo and Ruan, the Ruan brothers have long known Feng, a big official arrested in Sichuan, who beat the strong thieves and robbers in Xiangchuan beyond recognition.

After six years of Tongzhi (1867), Luo died of illness and became the governor of Sichuan. Feng lost the official support, and his brilliant career in Jianghu ended. A year later, Feng, who struggled to gain a foothold in officialdom, resigned from his official position and went to replace Luo Hou, the governor of Sichuan who distrusted and reused him. He faded out of his once ambitious official career and left Myanmar with a group of cronies and subordinates who lost their official career to make a living in a foreign country.

Feng has been wandering abroad for many years. When he returned to his hometown, he was 74 years old and never got married. If you go back to China to die, you will only be lonely for life. Feng's return from Myanmar to settle in Foshan is also a combination of providence and opportunity. Because Feng is a lovestruck lover, his first stop on his return from Myanmar is to go to Foshan and visit Luo's benefactor. Although Luo was born in Hua County, his grandfather's uncle moved to Foshan from Hua County during the Qianlong period, and Luo moved to Foshan with his father Luo shortly after his birth. Luo's descendants also took root in Foshan. Because of Ruan's family and Luo's family, Fang has dealings with Feng. It happened that Ruan Chongming deeply loved his fifth son Ruan Qishan's martial arts talent. After learning that Feng returned to China, he helped him find talents in his later years, and he did not hesitate to hire Feng to learn Ruan Qishan's Wing Chun skills in Sangyuan, a doctor's residence in Foshan Town (now Fuxian Road, Foshan). (At that time, the fourth son Ruan Jiyun had gone to Annan. In the meantime, Ma Zhongru, the son of the medical tycoon Ma, Zhao Jianqing, the owner of Yingju Tea House, Luo Houpu, the owner of Chopsticks Street butcher shop, and people from Shaobian Township in Nanhai also worshipped Feng as a teacher to learn the martial arts of Wing Chun Boxing. Feng died in Foshan at the age of 78. Ruan Qishan was a native of Shaodong in many factories and companies, and was also a teacher of the local government during the Republic of China. Ruan Qishan, who is called "Old Ruan Gui of Foshan" by Guangdong Wushu circles and folks, will become one of the leading figures of Wing Chun Boxing School in Foshan in the future. His boxing is a contest between the Yihetuan Yu, who is good at his leg skills, and the Changsheng Palace, which made the northern monk "the ancestor of a stick" submit to his "6: 30 stick technique" and became a famous classic fighting example in Guangdong Wulin in the 1930s. Ruan Qishan, as a master of Wing Chun Boxing, is also the theoretical founder of Wing Chun Boxing School and is famous in the history of Wulin. Ruan family is a famous family in Foshan. It is said that the street shops on both sides of Yong 'an Street (now Yong 'an Road) in Foshan belong to Ruan. His father invited Professor Huo Baoquan (Qinzhou, Guangxi), a famous teacher of Wing Chun Boxing, to teach Ruan Qishan and his younger brother Ruan Jiyun (Dou Piji, who handed down his disciple Cai Yao and developed Yao's Wing Chun Boxing). At that time, they practiced Wing Chun with some dudes, such as Ma Zhongru and Prince Ma Bailiang. Ruan Qishan also studied Wing Chun Boxing with Feng. Ruan Qishan and Wing Chun boxer Zhang Bao are close friends, and they are very appreciative of Zhang Bao's apprentice Cenneng and teach Kung Fu without reservation. Later, Cenneng founded the Guangzhou Wing Chun Boxing Department in Guangzhou and taught some Foshan people.

The Power Application of Ruan Qishan's Wing Chun Boxing

Based on the analysis of the techniques and moves of double-edged wooden stakes in Wing Chun Boxing, most of Ruan Qishan's Sanshou moves are the same as other Wing Chun Boxing, except that the elbow reduction chop, Tai Ji Chuan's single and double push hands and low pile chop are added. Learners are required to be moderately elastic, slow first and then fast, and each move should be practiced accurately. Practice makes perfect, and then add this book. Each pair of wing chun boxing is a further study of practicing, that is to say, each pair of wing chun boxing is a reconstruction of free techniques. Speed depends on the progress of skills. The process of disassembly is a process of practicing mind, mind, skills, strength, external resistance, hands, body and steps. The longer you practice, the deeper your foundation and the more advanced your skills. Because Ruan Qishan's long bridge player, middle bridge player, elbow method and pushing hand are all close-quarters skills, in close-quarters confrontation, his control ability and hitting ability are fully displayed, and the offender is a servant. In the training of five parts of this boxing, the bridge, palm, finger and arm should be combined with more than 20 Sanshou movements. On the basis of the original split, the muscles and bones should be flexed and stretched, so that the hands can rebound quickly and fiercely. At this time, we should use intention to urge shape, and also use shape to urge force to strike. The deeper the foundation, the more nervous the spirit, the stronger the strength, and the longer the practice time, the natural reaction will be formed, which is suitable for different styles of play. If Ruan Qishan's Wing Chun Boxing is to be effectively controlled in martial arts, it is necessary to train a set of strict defense techniques in the process of breaking, that is, from internal static practice to external static (slow). Therefore, when practicing wing chun boxing for the first time, learners are required to close their mouths slightly, breathe through their noses, and move slowly when disassembling. After doing every movement accurately, I want to stick my palm on the other person and leave. Both sides should try their best to restore the demolition force and not lose the roof. This process of practicing strength (qi) and skills of the two-character pincer is a long-term process of slow and gradual transition to practical martial arts. Through the practice of disassembly, we can stimulate the potential in the human body, keep the spirit swinging, and achieve the goal of sustained strength, stable standing, natural breathing, persistent spirit and tireless body when attacking. Ruan Qishan's Wing Chun Boxing allows practitioners to continuously improve their actual control ability through splitting training. There are three control methods: the hand is the first section, the middle section and the foot is the root section; The palm is the first section, the bridge of the nose is the middle section, and the shoulder is the root section; The head is the first section, the chest is the middle section and the waist is the root section; The sole of the foot is the first joint, the calf is the middle joint, and the thigh and crotch are the root joints. Three-stage control can be left and right, high and low, front and back, and heeling, and the use method is improvisation. According to the situation, practice makes perfect, practice makes perfect, and you can do whatever you want. The three-stage control of hand has three purposes: up, middle and down. On the road, there are some ideas about disassembly, such as middle arm, crane top hand, upper hook, blocking palm, eight hanging, leaf palm and so on. There are big arms, eight hanging palms, lower supporting palms, leaf palms, lower hooks, two dragons making beads and pushing hands in the middle. There are chicken feet, big arms, kneeling horses, hitting hooks, hanging hands and so on under the road. In Wing Chun Boxing, except for holding chicken feet and kneeling on the horse, all movements of longbridge players can be controlled directly by the change of horse stance, and can be strictly controlled as long as learners practice more. The control of the three segments of the body is mainly to avoid the arrival of the other side's upper, middle and lower roads, and to stop (put) it with hand skills (including foot stop). Physical defense includes left and right, front and rear sideways, small ring soul left and right, front and rear side head. There are left, right and back small ring soul waist and big ring soul waist.

Ruan Qishan practiced the three-stage interception method (control method) in Wing Chun Boxing, requiring learners to achieve this method by strengthening prevention and control. This method is arbitrary, not fixed. In other words, as long as you use one action casually, you can control the momentum of your opponent's going up, down and down. For example, in practice, I attack my opponent with my grip: during the practice, my opponent suddenly kicks straight, and I will change my grip and hit his upper thigh (the other hand can also hold it). In this way, in addition to practicing quick response, you can also ensure your center of gravity and the effect of supporting the strike, but at this time you must cooperate with the changes (height) of your body and horse. If you want this effective play to adapt to the distance, you must have the ability to control it intentionally. Long-range intentional control focuses on the road leg attack, so we should pay attention to controlling its potential and point, just like catching the thief first and catching the king first. The so-called imperative is to make full use of the method of turning to the near side to control according to the change of the center of gravity when the other party comes. This kind of head-on control is not to follow the other side from a distance, but to turn the car around when approaching the attack distance of the other side, leading the enemy astray and preempting the enemy, which is another matter. The so-called point is the joint and root joint of the opponent's hand. The point of the foot should be the calf, and the thigh and crotch are deliberately controlled positions. Once the attack distance is reached, you can change the intention control and cut off his feet or knees. Deliberately controlling foot movement means that the other person's feet move up and down, that is, the knees move. Usually when hitting a ball with one foot, one foot sinks slightly to bend the knee to help the fulcrum, and the other foot pushes the knee to volley hard. If you can move your heart a little, stop at the point and master the attack distance, you can strike first and strike first as you like. Bruce Lee believes that "attack is the best defense" is the truth. Bruce Lee reminded people that in the competition, it depends on the strength, environment and number of people. Use it according to your mastery of technology. In other words, only by fully mastering the control ability of the distance can we strike first, otherwise we may be injured or lose both sides. Similarly, in martial arts, you must have comprehensive control ability to get regularity.

The Basic Skills of Ruan Qishan's Wing Chun Boxing

In the process of practicing Ruan Qishan's Wing Chun Boxing, people tend to stick to the wonderful techniques of Wing Chun Boxing and ignore the cultivation of basic skills. Ruan Qishan's Wing Chun Boxing ranks among China Wushu in a short time, which largely depends on Ruan Qishan's rigorous and reasonable basic skills training methods. There is a saying in the Wulin that "you don't practice boxing, you play empty boxing", which is an absolute fact. As the saying goes, high-level cultivation must take a lot of time to "accumulate" and several years or even decades to "polish" on the premise that conditions are available and methods are correct, so that one's kung fu can reach a higher level in a short time. Any kind of kung fu is the same. Leaving the basic skills and seeking the so-called shortcut is just a "three-legged cat" effort, which can't be achieved. Ruan Qishan's basic skills of Wing Chun Boxing can only be regarded as the foundation of laying a good foundation for future routine practice and acquiring advanced skills of "sticking to the bridge". Basic boxing: meridian hammer.

Twelve types of arrangement: offset hammer, dragon hammer, arrow hammer, inner hand, outer hand, triple palm, curtain palm in yin, curtain palm in yang, curtain hand inside, curtain hand outside, clapping hands, crane looking for fox, a total of twelve types.

The predecessors of Guangzhou Wing Chun Boxing are collectively called "three fists, two palms and three miles away". Of course, for the convenience of memory, some people have compiled it into a crane, two palms, three internal and external four beats, but this has become a "thirteenth style" because the "meridian beat" has been arranged outside the "twelfth style". Whether it's 12 or 13, it just helps to remember.

Second, Ruan Qishan Wing Chun Twelve Types

If you practice Ruan Qishan's twelve styles of Wing Chun Boxing, you can get the entry path of Wing Chun Boxing. For example, inch strength (zero distance strength), overall strength (body, hands and steps in Wing Chun Gate), three-in-one explosive force, iron arm strength, standing pile strength and so on. , can rely on the "twelve-style" Jeet Kune Do to achieve great success. Jeet Kune Do was founded by Bruce Lee, who enjoys a high reputation in martial arts, and mainly originated from the twelve styles of Wing Chun Boxing. As the saying goes, "the wonderful method is born from the wonderful method, and the wonderful work is found in the wonderful work", and the "Twelve Styles" is a big platform for Ruan Qishan's Wing Chun Boxing. The Twelve Types of Wing Chun Boxing is a door to practice Wing Chun Boxing well. Whether Wing Chun Kung Fu is good or not depends on how well you play "Twelve Styles". If even the "Twelve Styles" are practiced neither fish nor fowl, then his Wing Chun Kung Fu will not be very good, which is a standard to test the authenticity of Wing Chun master. The practice of "Twelve Types" depends on the year, regardless of the month. It is impossible to succeed without two to three years of training except the correct method. I'll tell you another secret. If you really practice the "Twelve Styles", you need to supplement some necessary physical training (such as running and sandbag). ) in order to have a good time, and the necessary offensive and defensive techniques are enough. The technique of "Twelve Types" is much richer than modern fighting. From the boxing methods left by the older generation of masters, the theoretical enlightenment of practicing the twelve styles of wing chun boxing is obtained;

Take a horse stance just look with your knees facing the court. It's not advisable to let a horse loose.

The upper body should be soft and the lower jaw should be heavy. Take back your arms, lower your shoulders and lower your chest.

Put your hand through your heart and put your elbow in the middle. Meridian, hand and neck, flexible use.

Yin and yang perception, the practice of Buddhism. Horses are like machine scissors and bridges are like slingshots.

Standing like a crane, eyes like lanterns. On the rampage, hands like Youlong.

Three, Ruan Qishan Wing Chun 12-style demonstration

1. Meridian beat

Playing meridians is one of the most basic and sharp attack methods in our school. It has defense in attack and attack in defense. It is required that the hand comes from the heart and goes through the heart (draw a straight line from the heart forward, the left fist crosses this line to the right, and the right fist crosses this line to the left), and the elbow should be centered ("midline" theory, draw a straight line forward along the body line, and the elbow tip will be on this line after punching). The so-called meridian beat, that is, the midline beat, requires keeping the middle and using the middle. The meaning of "Meridian" comes from the midline theory of China's Yi-ology culture. Meridian training is also called "three-star training". According to the ancient art and culture of China, three or three things are infinite, and six or six things are infinite. Meridian pulse through the heart is meridian pulse, and continuous practice is called "three-star pulse". Practicing meridian hammer well can make both hands punch quickly and powerfully (including long and short strength). By stretching tendons and pulling bones, the shoulder and elbow joints can be relaxed, and the hard force can be smoothly transmitted to the fist surface through the waist. It is said that Zhang Zhuoqing, chairman of the Australian Wing Chun Boxing Network Association, set a record of 8.3 punches per second with 1984 at Harvard University in Boston, USA.

In actual combat, meridian hammer can play short, can do neutral, and can also be combined with other methods to fight. There is a cloud in marksmanship: a flat gun is the king of guns, and a shot in the chest is the most difficult to prevent. Meridian hammer is the "flat gun" of Wing Chun Gate.

Action description: The word pliers are used to raise sheep and horses. It requires that the knees be clamped, the anus be lifted and the abdomen be closed, the chest be closed under the arms, and the head be in the sky, like a bow (Figure 1, Figure 2). The left fist is hit along the midline (Figure 3, Figure 4). Every time you punch, the other hand tries to pull back and lift alternately. Both hands form, front and back tension or the second force (Figure 5- Figure 10). Practice 100 times or more every time, until you are tired, and it will be successful for a long time.

Ruan Qishan, the representative figure of Wing Chun Boxing

Ruan Qishan (1887- 1956), aged 69, lives with his father in Chaoguan, Foshan. Father Ruan Chongming was engaged in the chemical pigment industry in the early years of the Republic of China and opened a shop in Yongan Road, Foshan. Because Ruan Qishan ranks fifth, it is called "Ruan hometown". At first, Ruan's father hired Guo Baoquan as a gift to teach Ruan's younger brother snake boxing. After studying under Feng, Red Boat Yongchun. After Feng's death, Yu He studied Wu's Wing Chun in the club (Great Smoke House) opened in Shilutou Street.

It sticks to the bridge, takes advantage of the trend, and makes great efforts at home, which has reached a level that is beyond the reach of ordinary people. His nickname "Ruan Laogui" has a lot to do with people being good at fanning (scratching), grasping, throwing, releasing and controlling their opponents, which makes it difficult for them to display their skills and become obedient. Once a public demonstration, a copper coin was placed under a rice bag containing dozens of kilograms of rice, and the palm of your hand was quickly inserted into the rice bag to take out the copper coin, which made the viewer dumbfounded. This requires a high degree of continuous transmission of internal forces, which shows the depth of Ruan Laogui's internal strength.
