The composition of Hou Family Quan

Hou Family Martial Arts (Hou Family Martial Arts) consists of three parts: "Tiger Fighting Kung Fu (Third Generation)", "Hou's Baduanjin" and "Tiger King's Cane". It is a traditional (early) The reorganization and reappearance of Hou Family Quan and modern martial arts has both historical value and the needs of the times, and is of great martial arts significance. Tiger Fighting Kung Fu is one of the elite boxing techniques of Hou Family Quan, and it can be said to be the most practical non-Chinese martial art in the Chinese martial arts world. The early primitive Hou Family Boxing was divided into three parts: Tiger Fighting Skills, Wuxiang Hands and Snow Mountain Mysterious Skills. Among them, Tiger Fighting Kung Fu is the core part, which is divided into Tiger Fighting Basic Kung Fu, Unarmed Fighting Kung Fu, Mountain Climbing Kung Fu, Mountain Leaping Kung Fu, Mountain Crossing Kung Fu, Hard Qigong, Healthy Cloud Hands, Tiger Fighting Medical Skills, Tiger Fighting Formation and Tiger Fighting Short Stick (Most of them have been lost). With a large number of Hou Family Quan being lost (Wuxian Shou and Snow Mountain Mystic Technique were completely lost), and the incomplete inheritance of Tiger Fighting Kung Fu (most of them were completely lost), etc., in the 21st century, only the remaining fists and defeated legs are left in Hou Family Quan. Tiger Fighting Skill is basically in a state where the concept is greater than the reality.

In his later years, Mr. Hou passed the kung fu skills to his youngest grandson Hou Peng, but in the end he did not leave all the kung fu skills in the world, and his only one fist and one leg was passed down to the world. Hou Peng has practiced martial arts since he was a child. He and his grandfather learned the Hou Family Boxing and Tiger Fighting Skills, a unique skill native to the Northeast. He learned some abnormal grappling techniques and desperate fighting techniques, and also learned somersaults against trees and steel knives with his feet. Wait for time. When Hou Peng was 9 years old, his old master Hou died, and he learned the incomplete Hou family boxing and tiger fighting skills.

When Hou Peng was 12 years old, he was already very solid in basic skills. He later became a disciple of the famous Tai Chi master Chen Guocheng. His purpose was to find some traces of Hou Jiaquan in Tai Chi. He also raised two cats and planned to Imitate the movements of cats and feel the power of tiger fighting skills. At the age of 15, Hou Peng had learned both Chen Style Tai Chi and Yang Style Tai Chi, and also learned Shaolin Tiger Boxing and became a famous "student" martial artist in Shuangyashan. He performed martial arts performances at the 50th anniversary of Shuangyashan Provincial Key Middle School. . In the same year, Hou Peng opened an open space in the mountains near his home and began to learn to walk like a cat, practicing the deft and light steps. He also recalled some of the characteristics of tiger fighting skills that his grandfather said, and added The hard work I learned in school, a little bit of research, and this persistence lasted three years. After entering college, with the support of Zhou Ruyi, chairman of the Daqing Martial Arts Association, and the help of Professor Wu Weimin, a martial arts expert from Daqing Petroleum Institute, Hou Peng continued to practice every day and discover this ancient fighting technique. In 2007, the Zhonghua Zhenwu Association of Daqing Petroleum Institute (later renamed Dongyou Zhenwu Association) began to promote and practice Houjiaquan Tiger Fighting Gong. It was not until October 2008 that it began to retreat and compile the literature and materials of Tiger Fighting Gong.

Hou Peng has been hailed as the "Longjiang Tiger King" and "Northeast Tiger King" by the martial arts circle because of his dedication to the promotion and dissemination of Tiger Fighting Kung Fu. After coming to Shanghai to study for a master's degree in 2012, he founded Tiger The martial arts school began to make Hu Bukong international.

From April to August 2015, Tiger King Hou Peng rearranged limited movements based on Lao Houye’s second generation tiger fighting skills, and absorbed the essence of many excellent martial arts styles in our country. , compiled and created the three major mother boxing routines of Tiger Fighting Gong, marking that Tiger Fighting Kung Fu has become systematic and standardized. As a result, Hou Family Quan officially formed a martial arts system consisting of three parts: "Tiger Fighting Kung Fu (Third Generation)", "Hou's Baduanjin" and "Tiger King's Cane".

23. Closing Hou's Baduanjin (standing (Style Baduanjin) is a traditional school among the many schools of Baduanjin that is widely spread, influential and has a large audience. The boxing proverb widely circulated among Baduanjin practitioners is "Seven Hous, Two Roads, One National Standard, One "Martial arts, culture and gymnastics" refers to the audience ratio of Hou's Ba Duan Jin, Lu's Ba Duan Jin and National Standard Ba Duan Jin, as well as the differences between the "martial arts", "literary" and "gymnastics" modes in the characteristics of the exercises. This shows how popular Hou's Baduanjin (vertical Baduanjin) is among the people.

Hou's Baduanjin is an introductory exercise for fitness and health in Hou's martial arts. It occupies an important position in the overall Houjiquan exercise system. It is composed of the Tiger Blow Gong and Tiger King's Cane***. Developed a relatively complete martial arts system of Hou Family Quan. Baduanjin was not created by anyone, nor is it unique to each school. It is the common property of the country and nation. There is no difference in essence between the Baduanjin of each school, and there is no difference in fitness and health effects. There are differences only in the ways to achieve fitness and health.

Lao Hou, the first generation master of Hou Family Quan, was recommended by others to practice Shaolin Baduanjin in his later years, and combined with in-depth research and training on the martial arts theory of Hou Family Quan, he formed a unique style and became popular among the Hou family. The practice is passed down from generation to generation. While practicing the Baduanjin taught by the old Hou, the descendants of the Hou family also learned the "Healthy Qigong·Baduanjin" reorganized by the Health Qigong Management Center of the State Sports General Administration commissioned by Beijing Sport University. The Baduanjin practiced in the original Hou family On the basis of this, fully combining Health Qigong·Ba Duan Jin’s generous movement system and scientific fitness methods finally formed the current style of Hou’s Baduan Jin. At the same time, the descendants of the Hou family put forward the slogan of "scientific fitness and scientific qigong", which was widely praised by the martial arts and qigong circles. In 2014, at the Chinese Martial Arts Museum in Shanghai, Hou Peng, the representative figure of Hou Jiaquan, the "Tiger King", put forward the Health Qigong slogan of "loyalty and patriotism, inheritance of civilization, scientific Qigong, and opposition to superstition" and "revitalization of Chinese martial arts". The traditional martial arts revitalization slogan of "inheriting national culture" has been unanimously recognized by many martial artists, marking the entry of Hou Family Quan from the north to the south, and Hou Family Baduanjin also began to spread in the Yangtze River Delta region centered on Shanghai. Come.

The characteristic of Hou's Baduanjin is "the place where you punch the lying cow". You can practice Hou's Baduanjin wherever your feet can stand. It is very suitable for the fitness and health of modern urban white-collar workers. In the office, bedroom, bathroom, playground and any place. The exercises have simple movements and are easy to learn. They are the best choice for "office health and wellness". Currently, many companies in Shanghai carry out Hou's Baduanjin training, which is very popular among employees.

Compared with other schools of Baduanjin, Hou's Baduanjin, as a part of Hou family boxing, has obvious martial arts characteristics. The movements are generous, smooth and majestic. Although it is "boxing" But the temperament of martial arts practitioners can be seen everywhere, so it can not only be used as a first choice for healthy exercise, but also as an introductory Kungfu technique for Hou Family Boxing, and then to learn advanced techniques such as Tiger Fighting Kung Fu.

Hou Shi Ba Duan Jin formula:

Hold the three energizers of Heaven with both hands,

Open the bow from left to right like a shooting vulture,

To regulate the spleen and stomach, you must lift it alone ,

Look back after five labors and seven injuries.

Shaking the head and tail to remove the anger,

Climbing the hands to the feet to strengthen the kidneys and waist,

Putting fists together and glaring with anger to increase the strength,

Behind the world is full of chaos The disease disappears.

(The order is not fixed, you can practice each pose individually or in combination)

Preparatory pose - focus on guarding the Dantian, calming the mind, adjusting breathing, and straightening the body shape.

Put both hands on the three energizers of Tianli—imagine the three energizers to be unobstructed. Hold the two palms to lift the Qi from Guanyuan to Tiantu, and lower the two palms to lower the Qi from Tiantu to Guanyuan.

The left and right bows are like shooting a vulture - the strength of the bow reaches the spine, and the point is to the index finger Shang Yang.

To regulate the spleen and stomach, you need to do it alone - think about the Dantian, stretch the two sides, inhale the clean air and exhale the turbid air.

Five Labors and Seven Injuries, look back - rotate the arms to stimulate the original acupoints on the wrists, turn the vertebrae of the neck, stretch the shoulders to reach the back, and squat down to sink Qi into the Dantian.

Walk your head and tail to eliminate internal heat - shake your head to relax your spine, wag your tail and turn your tail, breathe naturally, and keep your mind on the spring.

Climb the feet with both hands to strengthen the kidneys and waist - rub the bladder meridian, unblock the Ren and Du meridians, keep the mind at the gate of life, and let the breath sink to the Dantian.

Clenching fists and glaring with anger to increase energy strength - twist the spine left and right, release energy from the Dantian, twist the wrists to grasp hard, and open the eyes with anger.

The seven bumps on the back will eliminate all diseases - grip the ground hard with the toes, draw the Baihui upwards, relax the limbs and bend downwards, inhale and exhale and think about the Dantian.

Collection style - the breath returns to the Dantian, rest for a while and then restore it. In 2013, Tiger King Hou Peng founded Tiger Martial Arts School to teach Chinese Kung Fu to foreign students. He came into contact with Zulu walking sticks during exchanges with African students. He combined some of the skills of Tiger King's short sticks to create the Tiger King walking stick with a small frame and a logo. The formation of Tiger King's cane once again enriched the composition of Houjiaquan.

The Zulu War that occurred in 1879 was a war between the British Empire and the Zulu Kingdom of South Africa. From the outset, the war was notable for several large-scale bloodsheds that marked the beginning of British colonial rule in the region. The war ended Zulu's history as an independent nation. Regarding the Zulu War, a program on the History Channel once described the lessons learned in failed wars, including the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, the Battle of the Malay Peninsula, etc. One of the episodes was about the Battle of Isandelwana. The TV series focused on the military perspective, truly reflected the situation at the time and summarized experience, but it was evasive about the root causes of the war. This battle was the most serious military defeat that Britain suffered when it was at its most powerful in the 19th century. No battle in the two Opium Wars that took place in China could cause the British army to suffer such heavy casualties, and in Isander In Wana, the British army faced the attack of the Zulu people whose equipment was several generations behind the Qing government. Those nearly naked warriors were armed with spears used by primitive humans for hunting, and mediocre wood. The sticks, under the command of King Kai Zhiwayo, defeated the invaders who used the most advanced weapons and equipment at the time. Their bravery and resourcefulness are still admired by everyone. At the beginning of the 20th century, Gandhi from India went to South Africa to engage in medical rescue work. He saw the massacre of innocent people by the British army and the fearless resistance of the Zulu people, which strengthened his determination for national independence; and Mandela was in Dinggan, Kaizhi He grew up under the influence of stories about Zulu heroes such as Wayo.

The mediocre wooden stick used by the Zulu people in this struggle was the Zulu walking stick. This brave walking stick is a famous cold weapon in Africa. Currently, there are very few practitioners in Asia, and it is influenced by African indigenous culture. Influenced by Zulu canes, the practice method of Zulu cane is very primitive and unsystematic. During the martial arts cultural exchange at Tiger Martial Arts School, Kenyan disciples recommended the Zulu cane to the students and demonstrated the basic skills of the Zulu cane in a clumsy way. Hou Peng absorbed the original skills of the Zulu cane, combined it with some basic techniques of the Hubo short stick, and practiced it for a long time to create a short and concise cane routine. While living in Chuanyang Xinyuan, Hou Peng gathered many outstanding martial artists from Zhangjiang Hi-Tech to practice boxing together. When Hou Peng was practicing cane routines, everyone was shocked by this cane technique with strong exotic flavor and traditional martial arts. When asked about the name, Hou Peng called it "a Zulu walking stick adapted from the Hubo short stick", but did not have a specific name. Everyone improvised the name "Tiger King Cane" based on Hou Peng's nickname "Tiger King" and formed the first batch of practitioners. Currently, Tiger King Cane has a large audience in Shanghai.

Features of the Tiger King's Cane: The moves are simple and practical, unpretentious, can defeat the enemy with one move, and are extremely lethal. The wand technique pursues actual combat, with deadly moves and compelling styles, and is known as the "Chinese Magic Wand".
