Wudang Chunyang Boxing is said to have been handed down by Lv Dongbin, the fifth ancestor of northern Taoism, so it is called Chunyang Boxing.
Wudang Chunyang Boxing focuses on self-cultivation, followed by "three wins and five combinations". Three agile, that is, agile hands, agile body and agile steps. Five combinations: heart and heart, heart and qi, qi and force, force and potential, potential and harmony. The combination of three wins and five wins will win the situation.
Wudang Chunyang Boxing emphasizes "three circles, six parts and nine characters in one". Three laps: hand loop, leg bending step loop and waist turning loop. Six parts: shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle. Nine characters: "heart, mind, qi, strength, movement, liveliness, weight, softness and spirit" are embodied in the walking frame of boxing.
Wudang pure yang boxing formula: the wind blows the lotus, swinging from side to side; Flying clouds and flowing water, continuous wear; Step by step, luck is moist; Fight slowly and fight quickly, and eight methods will be decided. The wind blows the lotus, swinging from side to side, and the boxing wind is full of purity and tranquility; Flying clouds and flowing water are constantly infiltrating, showing the style and image of boxing and walking. Stepping on the foot, luck nourishes, refers to the purpose of this boxing luck nourishes; Slow-speed and fast-speed boxing, accompanied by eight methods, shows that this boxing is full of strength, quick force and quick hand. Boxing methods include "eight methods" such as spinning, piercing, winding and rolling.
What needs special explanation is that to practice martial arts like Chun Yang Quan, you must master the "Sixteen Methods of Basic Practice", which is also commonly known as "Sixteen Moves of Chun Yang". Mr. Liu, a master of Chunyang Boxing, once said that Chunyang Boxing is easy to learn and difficult to practice, so the basic sixteen methods are an important way to master Chunyang Boxing.
The sixteen tricks of pure yang are: cuddling in a single circle, between yin and yang; Three talents wear waist and back, and four elephants advance and retreat. The five elements are in the hands of the inside and outside, and the Liuhe wheel is true; The seven stars are arranged in the big dipper array, and the eight diagrams and nine palaces will do it. Yin, Yang, the sun and the moon are circled into hands, and the curtains are constructed as they wish; On the lotus wind balance wheel, the meridian returns to the circle, double seal; The inner winding is self-contained and the outer winding is pure. In the past, I was taught by real people, and the moral songs were deep in the clouds.
