Unexpected

What was prepared for the meteor hammer competition was the nine-section whip

How high is Dong Yasheng's martial arts level? If we make a metaphor, it is equivalent to Tian Liang and Guo Jingjing in the diving world, and Ding Ning and Wang Liqin in the table tennis world.

According to Dong Yasheng, when he participated in the World Wushu Championships, he won the gold medal in Snake and Crane Tai Chi smoothly, but he experienced a "shock" in the "Nine Section Whip" event.

It turns out that the competition event that Dong Yasheng started to fill in was not the "Nine-section Whip", but the "Meteor Hammer"!

To this end, he studied for several months and choreographed a complete set of moves, preparing to perfectly demonstrate his special skills in the competition. But when it came to the competition, he was told that due to an error when handing over the registration materials, 's "Meteor Hammer" was mistakenly reported as a "Nine-section Whip".

When Dong Yasheng got the news, it was less than a day before the start of the "Nine-Section Whip", but the schedule had already been released and could not be changed. This news was nothing less than a "bolt from the blue."

"Fortunately, I'm lucky." Dong Yasheng's good habits over the years have helped him a lot. "Although I didn't prepare for the nine-section whipping competition this time, I have to practice whipping every morning. I feel uncomfortable without whipping for a day, so whipping Stay with me all year round. No, where can I find a convenient whip this time? It will definitely be too late to send it from Beijing."

Another thing that made Dong Yasheng feel lucky was that he had no events the day before the "Nine Section Whip" competition, so he practiced hard. Nine whips a day. The next day of competition, it was still a gold medal.

"You still have to be down-to-earth." Dong Yasheng said, "In the past few decades, I have been practicing boxing, whipping, and hammering every day. There is no winter or summer. I just want to practice everything to the best."

This During this competition, Dong Yasheng also met several friends from out of town who had participated in the competition together. They joked: "Why is the big brother from Beijing here again? This time we have no chance." Dong Yasheng said: "No way, the project I applied for is not this, they changed for me, what do you think I should do? Since I'm here Now, we have to compete for the gold medal. Let’s all use our best skills to have a good competition."

Target

Target the masters and keep working hard

Hearing that Dong Yasheng won double gold in this World Championships, Famous calligrapher, painter and sculptor Jing Hao wrote: "The world's heroes gather in Emei, traditional martial arts compare high and low; Snake Crane Tai Chi Nine-section Whip , returned home happily with double gold medals. " Former Chairman of the Chinese Wushu Association Zhang Yaoting praised him as the "God of Martial Arts." Jet Li's teacher, a martial arts master of the ninth level of Chinese Wushu, inscribed for him: "Snake and Crane Tai Chi".

Dong Yasheng is now a member of the Chinese Wushu Association. , national martial arts first-level judge, Chinese martial arts seventh-dan.

In the martial arts world, a seventh-dan is called a "master", and a ninth-dan is called a "dean". There are only a dozen people in the country who are ninth-dan. "With his level, he will definitely be promoted to eighth-dan in his lifetime. "

Someone said to Dong Yasheng: "You have won so many awards, you can stop it, you don't need to compete anymore. "He said, "That won't work. Only competition can test one's true level. How can one know one's level without comparison? "

Dong Yasheng is 56 years old this year. According to the rules of the martial arts world, you cannot participate in some competitions if you are over 60 years old. In the next three years or so, Dong Yasheng plans to win another grand prize. "In my life, as long as I can still eat If you have to eat, you have to practice martial arts for a day. Live up to the Olympic spirit and be faster, higher and stronger. Haha, I have to keep working hard! "

Recruit a Chinese-Burmese mixed-race young apprentice

Tongzhou Xiaobu

How is your Snake and Crane Tai Chi developing now? How many apprentices do you have?

Dong Yasheng

I used to have only one young apprentice, a Chinese and American mixed-race student. The blood child Li Jingna is now 15 years old, very promising, and has already won a gold medal. Later, she adopted a little boy, a 9-year-old boy from China and Myanmar, who is very energetic. Recently, he adopted a 6-year-old Chinese girl. It's also great. In addition, we have a Snake and Crane Tai Chi group, with about fifty or sixty people. We practice together, so it won't be a problem.

It’s easy to take two wrong paths in practicing Tai Chi.

Can Tai Chi be practiced in practice? What are its real advantages?

Dong Yasheng can certainly practice Tai Chi, no. The one that can be practiced is Tai Chi. Our country's traditional martial arts had two peaks in the Tang Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. In the past, Yang Luchan (1799-1872), the founder of Yang Style Tai Chi, came to Beijing to compete. "Yang Wudi" fought all over the capital. From here you can see how powerful Tai Chi is.

In the era of cold weapons, martial arts were used to kill enemies on the battlefield. , how can it not be lethal?

Mr. Ren Gang (a native of Shanghai, officially became a disciple of Master Dong Bin in 1987, and his Tai Chi Kung Fu master was passed down by Mr. Le Huanzhi and Mr. Dong Shizuo.) has an article titled "The Real Advantages of Traditional Chinese Martial Arts." 》Well summed up. He said that the martial arts of various schools are the striking techniques and wrestling methods that people gradually learned in actual combat and gradually strengthened them into training techniques. The martial art is nothing more than the study of strike efficiency, strength, hardness, and speed.

Traditional martial arts is the mother body of martial arts. Whether it is boxing or not, it is all developed from traditional martial arts. However, to be honest, due to long-term separation from actual combat and time. With the advancement of the times, the current training methods and systems of traditional martial arts in terms of strength and speed have lagged behind modern mixed martial arts training

html. 1 However, it does not mean that traditional martial arts are useless. Those sports that advocate strength and speed have limits and are extremely harmful to people's bodies and minds. The best proof is that many Muay Thai fighters suffer from injuries in their forties. Apart from these, don't traditional martial arts have any advantages over fighting? Yes, this is the "inner boxing" that people have forgotten! Take Tai Chi as an example. The real Tai Chi is a fighting technique guided by the "Tai Chi" philosophy.

People who practice Tai Chi nowadays often take two wrong paths:

The first is that they simply do not believe that they can defeat their opponents without using strength. If you can't beat others, you think you don't have enough strength skills. Their Tai Chi is just a cover, and they practice strength in private.Such people will be defeated as soon as they meet professional boxers and Sanda fighters who practice strength training.

The second type is knowing that you cannot use force but not knowing what to use. In the end, even a layman with strength cannot handle it, so it can only be called "Tai Chi exercise".

What is the real Tai Chi? It is our ancestors who have realized through thousands of years of practice that the most important thing in all things is "power" rather than "object". A knife can hurt people, whether it is sharp or not is one aspect, but the power of the knife is the main reason.

Boxing frame is just for practicing maintaining momentum during exercise. Push hands and Sanshou are all for practicing how to assess the situation under pressure without using force to fight; only by "going with the flow" of everything can you get twice the result with half the effort.

Tai Chi requires us to become masters of posture rather than force. If today's Tai Chi masters are still studying strength and skills, it is far less effective than directly practicing boxing, wrestling and modern fighting.

Practice whipping until you need stitches on your head

Tongzhou Xiaobu

Among these martial arts equipment, which one is the most difficult?

Dong Yasheng

Martial arts equipment is divided into three categories: single (sticks, guns, etc.), double (double knives, double swords, etc.), and soft (whips, meteor hammers, etc.). Among them, soft is the most difficult and dangerous. Not only is it highly lethal, but it is also easy to injure yourself if you are not careful.

People who practice martial arts are not willing to practice soft weapons. Some of the whipping practitioners were beaten to death by themselves. After being hit on the head and bleeding, they fainted. There happened to be no one around them, and they eventually died of excessive blood loss. The teacher who taught me how to use the meteor hammer has won 7 gold medals across the country, but he has almost no apprentices. At first, many people came to him to learn, but they stopped practicing as long as they got beaten once.

I was beaten on the head and went to the hospital early in the morning for stitches. The doctor was also a martial arts practitioner, so he could tell at a glance that I had been whipped. He wanted to give me some anesthetic. I knew that the wound would not heal well with anesthesia, so I said, "What kind of anesthesia? Just come here!"

When I was on a business trip, I didn't forget to bring my whip and hammer and got up early to practice martial arts

Tongzhou Xiaobu

After being beaten, you still continue to practice?

Dong Yasheng

stopped practicing after being beaten? Still have to practice!

can't do anything without paying. There are only traps on the ground, not pie in the sky. My little apprentice Zhen Na, her legs were swollen from practicing. She held on to the stairs and moved up step by step. Even though it hurt, she had to keep practicing. I told her, "Son, there is no shortcut to practicing martial arts. You can't persevere. If you don't work hard, you won't succeed."

I have to go out and practice for 2 hours every morning. If I don't practice, I will feel uncomfortable. The old ladies all say I'm crazy because I practice every day all year round. When I travel for work, I have to carry a nine-section whip and a meteor hammer, and I have to get up early to practice martial arts.

I am a naturally stubborn person. If I don’t want to do something, I won’t do it. I will do it well as soon as I do it. I also work as a police officer (Dong Yasheng works at the Detention Center in Tongzhou District, ). I have first-, second-, and third-class meritorious service, and I have achieved 9 meritorious services in 10 years.

Apart from practicing martial arts and going to work, I can't do anything else. I can't even play cards or chess. All my energy is spent on this. When I read at home, I also read books related to martial arts.

Summarize experience and write academic papers on martial arts

Tongzhou Xiaobu

I heard that you also write academic papers?

Dong Yasheng

To practice martial arts, you have to write about martial arts. If you can only practice but not write, doesn’t it mean you have become a martial artist? I started writing papers many years ago, and the next step is to write a 200,000-word monograph to reach eight paragraphs.

Martial arts is about mechanics and strength. Spears, sticks, and boxing all have strength. Where is your strength? With this whip, how does the centrifugal force turn into a straight force instantly? It is difficult to master martial arts well. It is a comprehensive subject. I hope that through my experience summary and academic discussions with everyone, I can give some help to those who study martial arts.
