要打明白拳

2015-05-23 三丰堂&守中学社 太极文化

打明白拳是每个太极拳爱好者的渴望和奋斗目标。也只有明白了拳理拳法,才能学 得较快,练得规范,真正起到健体防身作用。但据拳场调查了解，有些同志不仅不 知道太极拳的哲理,甚至连有些动作要领和身形身法、手形手法、步形步法等也说 不清楚。难怪他们都说自己是“瞎”打,是“稀里糊涂跟着练”。这是造成当前太 极拳演练中“水平低的多,水平高的少”的状况的一个根本原因,也是太极拳运动 发展现状中应该引起重视的问题。 怎样才能打明白拳呢?笔者体会,应在学、悟、交、练四个方面狠下功夫。 学,就是要积极学习拳理拳法。拳论说,学太极拳先学读书。拳理明白，学拳自然 容易。拳理拳法是演练太极拳的理论依据,理论素质的高低决定着习拳者拳技水平 的不同。只有掌握了拳理拳法，才能从根本上理解拳架,掌握拳架。因此,每个习 拳者都应充分利用各种有利条件,把学习太极拳理论放在第一位,以学习经典著作 《太极拳论》为主要内容，结合学习当代名师、专家论著,力求从理论与实践的结 合上弄清一些问题。例如何谓太极、太极拳产生的理论基础、太极拳运动法则、 太极拳与辩证法、太极拳的特点和运行规律、太极拳的战术和技击原则、太极拳 基本动作原理和规格要求、太极拳与科学健身等，从而达到明白拳理的目的。 悟，就是要多用脑子，通过思考、琢磨，弄清自己不懂的问题。悟性的大小与好 坏，直接关系到拳艺水平的高低。例如，“迈步如猫行”，你就要仔细琢磨、观 察什么是“猫步”，体悟它的轻灵、沉稳、平缓、柔和。再如“运劲如抽丝”， 你就要仔细琢磨、观察“抽丝”的均匀、从容和相连不断。明白了这些，走步和 运劲动作就会好做多了。因此，习拳者要经常进行自我剖析，从思想认识上对动 作要领、规格要求、攻防含义等，能够理解、领会，弄懂弄明。对每个招势、每 个动作，不仅用心领悟它的外部结构、内在因素，还要弄清楚它的拳理所在。特 别是对一些细微的“只可意会，难以言传”的地方，更应该反复品味、体会，力 求吃透精神实质。要正确估价自己，认识自己，经常白省白警。这样，演练质量 自然就会不断提高。不愿多费脑子，不去理解每个动作的含义，不问为什么要这 样做，只是机械地跟着“比葫芦画瓢”、“人家咋着咱咋着”，拳艺水平是很难 提高的。 交，就是要加强拳友之间的广泛交往和相互沟通，开展思想交流、学习交流、信 息交流和技术交流。这既是借助他人智慧、提高自己的好办法，也对推动和发展 太极拳运动具有重要意义。要解放思想，打破自我封闭，尽可能多接触一些拳友。 不要只把自己禁锢在一个小圈子里，要利用观摩、座谈、研讨、培训、规范等各 种形式或机会，交流情况，切磋问题；积极参加表演、竞赛，“借台唱戏”，展 示自己，查找差距：经常与他人相互商量，相互切磋，相互纠正，取长补短；要 能站在自己的对方审视自己，用别人的眼光评析自己：如有条件，还应找名人或 优秀者给以点拨。 练，就是勤练、苦练。天天练，年年练，长期练，活到老练到老。这就要有恒心、

决心、毅力和吃苦精神。常言说练武、练武，说明“武”是练出来的，不练就成 不了“武”。练是根本，练为上策。任何事物，要想认识它、掌握它，都必须有 个长期的逐步的积累过程。习拳也一样。练的过程，就是感悟的过程，就是逐步 认识它、熟悉它，摸索其规律，掌握它、驾驭它的过程。只有千锤百炼，亲历亲 为，才能了解真谛，动作娴熟，由熟到巧，运用自如，“拳打万遍，其理自现”。 持浮躁心态，懒懒散散，不下苦功，企图在短时间内通过什么“旁门”、捷径取 得成绩，是不可能的。特别是一些高难度动作更是这样。同时，习拳亦如逆水行 舟，不进则退。不少拳友都有这样的经历：有的套路几天没练，再练时就会感到 有些生疏，甚至忘了动作；经过恢复，才会又正常起来。正如拳谚所说：“一日 练一日功，一日不练十日空。” 拳艺无止境。只要坚定打明白拳的目标，同绕上述四个方面拼搏、奋斗，理论与 实践高度结合，下定决心，最大限度地发挥自己的潜能，拳艺水平是会不断提高 的。

Fist fight each tai chi enthusiasts understand the desire and goal. Only understand the rationale boxing boxing, in order to learn faster, turn out to be standardized, really play a role in fitness self-defense. However, according to boxing field investigation, some comrades not only do not know the philosophy of tai chi, and even some action essentials and stature agility, hand techniques, step-shaped footwork can say. No wonder they say that they are "blind" to play, is "sleepwalk followed by practice." This is caused by the current tai chi exercise in the "low level, high levels of low," the situation is a fundamental reason, but also current development of Taijiquan should pay attention to the issue. How can I fight boxing understand it? I understand, should be learning, enlightenment, pay, training four great efforts. Learn, it is to actively learn boxing boxing management. Boxing discourse, learning tai chi to learn to read. Understand the rationale boxing, boxing naturally easy to learn. Boxing is boxing management exercise tai chi theory, theory determines the level of quality of different learning boxing's boxing skills levels. Only mastered the science of boxing boxing, in order to understand the underlying fist, grasp fist. Therefore, each learning boxing who should make full use of favorable conditions to learn tai chi theory in the first place, in order to learn classic "Shadow Boxing" as the main content, combined with contemporary learning teacher, specialist monographs, seeks from clarify some of the issues on the combination of theory and practice. Such as tactical and theoretical basis of the principles of what martial tai chi, tai chi generated rule of Taijiquan, Taijiquan and dialectics, tai chi characteristics and operation rules, tai chi, tai chi principles and specifications basic movements, tai chi and Science fitness, so as to achieve the purpose of understand boxing management. Wu is to much with the mind, by thinking, pondering on what you do not understand the question. The size and quality of perception is directly related to the level of boxing arts. For example, "Moving as a cat line", you must carefully pondering, observe what is the "cat walk", I realized that it's light and agile, calm, gentle, soft. Another example is "Yunjin, such as spinning", you have to carefully pondering, observed, "snag" a uniform, calm and connected constantly. Understand this, walking and Yunjin action will do more good. Thus, learning boxing were often self-analysis, from the ideological understanding of the action essentials, specifications, their meaning, etc., can understand, appreciate, understand get out. Each recruit potential, every movement, not only comprehend the intentions of its external structure, internal factors, but also to figure out where it's boxing management. Especially for some minor "can be felt, it is difficult to explain in words," the place, should repeatedly taste, experience, and strive to thoroughly understand the spirit. To correct valuation of their own, to know themselves, often white white police province. Thus, the exercise will continue to improve the quality of nature. Unwilling brainer, do not understand the meaning of each action, do not ask why, just mechanically followed "than painted gourd dipper", "people Zezhao we Zezhao" boxing arts is difficult to improve the level of . Cross, it is to strengthen the extensive exchanges between boxing friends and communicate with each other to carry out the exchange of ideas, learning exchanges, exchange of information and technical exchanges. This is the wisdom of the help of others, to improve their good idea, but also of great significance to the promotion and development of Taijiquan. To emancipate the mind, break the self-enclosed, as more contact with some punches friends. Do not just put yourself locked in a small circle, to make use of observation, various forms or the opportunity to exchange information and learn problem discussion, seminars, training, and norms; actively participate in performances, competitions, "by Taiwan singing" to show themselves, Find Gap: regular mutual consultation with others, learn from each other, correct each other, learn from each other; to be able to stand on their own each other look at ourselves, with other people's eyes Comments yourself: if the conditions should also find a celebrity or who give excellent coaching. Practice, is diligent practice, practice hard. Practice every day, year after year to practice, long-term practice, live to seasoned old. This is to have perseverance,

Determination, perseverance and spirit to endure hardship. Saying martial arts, martial arts, that "force" is out of practice, not trained to not "Wu." Training is fundamental, practice is the best policy. Anything, in order to understand it, grasp it, must have a long-term process of gradual accumulation. Learning boxing, too. Training process, is the process of perception is gradually recognize it, get familiar with it, and explore its rule, master it, control its process. Only a much hands-on, in order to understand the true meaning skillfully by cooked to clever, with ease, "punch thousand times, its reasoning from now." Holding impetuous attitude, sloth, no less than an effort to attempt in a short time by any "side-door" shortcut achievements, it is impossible. In particular, some difficult moves more so. At the same time, learning boxing and as one moves. Many boxing friends have such experience: some routine a few days did not practice, you will feel a little rusty when to practice, even forgot action; after recovery, it will be normal again. As boxing adage says: "One day practice work day, day of practice ten days empty." Boxing arts indefinitely. As long as a firm fist fight clear objectives, with the above-mentioned four areas around the hard, hard, high degree of integration of theory and practice, determined to maximize their potential, boxing arts levels will continue to improve.
