Chapter 150 The Essence of Wing Chun

Seeing Xufeng's actions, Ye Wen's poker face showed uncontrollable horror.

Back then, he learned Wing Chun from master Chen Huashun, and it took him three full months to learn how to ask directions!
But now, Xufeng completely comprehended it within an hour!

Is... am I too stupid?
Or is this kid Xufeng too genius?
Alas, it is true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead.

Ye Wen sighed faintly.

"Master, is this okay?" Xufeng slapped Ye Wen once to ask the passer-by.

Ye Wen kept his face straight on purpose, and cleared his throat, "It's so-so, compared to when I was a teacher, it's still a little bit worse."

Xufeng grinned and said, "Master, then you can teach me the other twelve tricks."

Ye Wen thought for a while, "Alright, I'd like to see how much you can learn in one afternoon."

He stood in front of the wooden dummy again and took up his posture.

"Second trick, clap your hands."

"The force of Wing Chun is divided into long bridge force and short bridge force. The so-called bridge refers to the forearm. The extension of the elbow makes the bridge hand reach the far end of the body, which is the long bridge. Keep the elbow bent, and the bridge hand is close to the body. The side movement is called short bridge. Whether it is a long bridge or a short bridge, it is necessary to practice the strength of the elbow. Clapping is a good movement to dissolve the opponent's moves, and it belongs to the defense of the short bridge."

"Open the horse, forming a two-character pincer Yang horse. The right fist becomes a palm, and the wrist is turned so that the palm faces to the right and the fingers are upward. Use the shoulder and the bottom of the elbow to exert strength on the outside of the palm, and slap horizontally toward the left front side, eyes and eyes Look ahead."

"It should be noted that the shoulders should be balanced. When the elbow is bent, the forearm should be kept horizontal. After clapping the palm, the outside of the palm does not need to exceed the outside of the shoulder. Keep the distance between the clapping thumb and the body about 15-20 cm."

"The third trick: Spread your hands."

"Showing hands is also an action to defuse the opponent's offensive, but it belongs to Changqiao's force."

"The key points of the move: start with the two-character clamp yang horse. The right fist becomes the palm, with the palm facing upward. When the right hand is clamped, exert force from the bottom of the elbow, and move the force to the fingertips. The palm passes through the midline of the body and spreads out obliquely upwards. Keep your eyes on the front."

"Attention, keep your shoulders balanced. Bend your elbows to the center. After spreading your hands, your forearms, wrists, palms, and fingers are in a straight line. The height of your fingertips is between your jaw and the tip of your nose."

"The fourth trick: Arm hands—"

Seeing Ye Wen's movements, Xufeng's eyes lit up, "Master, this move is very similar to the white crane spreading its wings in my Tiger and Crane Fist!"

Ye Wen smiled and said, "That's right, it's very similar, but it's not."

"The action of raising the elbow and dropping the hand is just the opposite of spreading the hand, so it is best to switch between spreading the hand and holding the hand. The action of holding the hand is purely dispelling. When we ordinary people encounter attacks, we usually raise our arms to block The movement is a conditioned reflex, and Wing Chun absorbs it and optimizes it."

"Movement: open the horse, forming a two-character pincer yang horse. The right fist becomes a palm, the palm is upward, the arm is kept bent and the elbow is lifted upward, and the wrist is turned over so that the palm is inward. The elbow exerts force and raises diagonally upward, the wrist Internal rotation so that the palm is facing outward, and the fingers are inserted diagonally forward and downward."

"Note: Raise the elbow upwards, with the tip of the elbow slightly higher than the shoulder. The forearm, wrist, palm and fingers form a straight line, forming an angle of about 45 degrees with the ground. The palm is facing the midline of the body."

"Trick 5: Circle your hands."

"Circling hands is a very widely used technique in Wing Chun. It is used to change the position of the hands, such as from the opponent's outer door to the inner door, or from the inner door to the outer door."

Seeing Ye Wen doing it again, Xufeng asked in doubt: "Master, this action is very simple."

If this movement is worth learning, then radio gymnastics can be called a martial arts secret book... Xufeng secretly slandered.

Ye Wen said with a smile: "It's simple, but you may not know how to use it. As long as you know when to use it, it can be regarded as a real understanding."

"The so-called circle hand is not an offensive move, nor is it a defense move. It is also a connection, a connection between changing moves."

"In Wing Chun, the door is divided into inner door and outer door. Let me give you an example. I punch the enemy in a straight line. If the opponent's hand is outside the back of my fist, then the opponent is on my side. The outer door, and my hand is at the enemy's inner door."

"Conversely, if the enemy's hand is inside the back of my fist, then the opponent is my inner door, and my hand is on the enemy's outer door."

"People from the outside world think that the essence of Wing Chun is quickness, precision and ruthlessness. This is true, but it is not true."

"Fast, precise and ruthless, that describes Wing Chun's style."

"But apart from Wing Chun, there are other boxing techniques that can be fast, accurate and ruthless, such as Western boxing, karate in Sang, taekwondo in Xian, taekwondo in Siam, etc."

"So, the real essence of Wing Chun is not to be quick, accurate and ruthless, but... to fight with one another."

"Continuous elimination and hitting..." Xufeng took a deep breath, savoring these four words carefully.

"That's right, if you look at any martial arts nowadays, it's not about fighting and fighting, only Wing Chun."

"Whether it's Western fighting, karate, or our traditional martial arts, attacking is attacking, defending is defending, especially the Hongjia boxing, which is extremely powerful, and your tiger-crane double-shaped boxing, The essence is to hit hard if you can hit it, and dodge if you can't hit it, right?"

Xufeng nodded in admiration, cupped her hands and said, "Master, you are truly a god!"

Xufeng only used three moves of "Tiger Crane Double-Shaped Fist" in front of Ye Wen, and Ye Wen had already seen it thoroughly and clearly.

Ye Wen smiled lightly, "Actually, the martial arts skills of each school are not too different. Attack is attack, and defense is defense. Offense and defense are clear. If you punch me, I raise my hand to defend. I think you have time to use it as an opening. Hitting you with a punch... But Wing Chun is not. The essence of Wing Chun is continuous elimination and punching."

"The so-called elimination is to dissolve."

"Wing Chun's defense has never been to rigidly protect the vitals of the body, but to use moves to defuse the enemy's attack, and at the same time to attack the enemy's vitals!"

Isn't this the essence of Jeet Kune Do's stream of consciousness!

Suddenly Xufeng had the feeling of clearing the fog and seeing the sunny sky!

Listening to Ye Wen's explanation, Xufeng got goosebumps from excitement!

No wonder the later Bruce Lee became a great master!

The starting point of life is really important!

I heard Ye Wen continue to say: "So, from this point of view, Wing Chun has no defensive moves in the usual sense. The so-called defensive moves of Wing Chun are also offensive moves in the eyes of outsiders. However, Wing Chun's defensive moves There is still a fundamental difference between this move and Wing Chun's ultimate move."

"To transform between defensive moves and ultimate moves, you need to use what you call [the simple can't be simpler] circle hands."

"When to switch moves and to what extent, it all depends on how well you use your circle hands."

"Do you still think it's easy to circle your hands?"
