Step back and cross the tiger. Actual usage
Yang Chengfu steps back and cross Tiger Fist Shi
1. Yang Chengfu:
A is in the previous position, and B's hands are coming from the left and right sides together. A pulls back the right foot in front of him, and his left foot is empty.
2. Yang Zhenming:
From the upper step of the seven-star pose, assume that the enemy is pressing with his right foot in front and both hands. I quickly retreat half a step with my right foot. , point your left toe to the ground, loosen your waist and hips, and place your weight on your right leg. At the same time, use your two wrists to separate up and down, and hold your right wrist upward on the inside of the enemy's left wrist. Use your left hand to hold the enemy's right wrist downward to the left, or hold the enemy's right wrist and apply force secretly to the lower left side to move the enemy's center of gravity, forming a straddle tiger pose.
If the enemy is in the same position as above and uses simultaneous pressing methods, I quickly take a half step back with my right foot, touch the ground with my left foot, and at the same time separate my wrists upward and downward to stick to the enemy's left and right wrists. Then I quickly lift up my left foot and sweep it to the right with horizontal force on the outer shin of the enemy's right foot, causing the enemy to lose his center of gravity. This is also a reform.
3. Yang Zhenji:
The "Complete Book of Tai Chi Physical Use" states how to use this posture as follows: The opponent presses with both hands, as fierce as a tiger; I connect the opponent's wrists with my two wrists, pull down with my left hand to the left, and push up with my right hand to the right. Taking advantage of the situation, I take a step back, and then the opponent's incoming force and the whole body will be defeated. This posture has the word "retreat" in the Thirteen Methods. When retreating, there is an advance. Use the downward move and the upper move. After dispersing the opponent's power, you can control the opponent with a slight movement of your right wrist and launch an attack.
The intention of this posture is in both hands, the left hand is at the tiger's mouth, and the right hand is at the palm of the wrist.
4. Yang Zhenduo:
Assume that the opponent is pressing with his left foot in front with both hands. I quickly step back with my right foot, changing my left foot to and taking an empty step , with the center of gravity on my right leg. At the same time, separate your wrists upward and downward, hold the opponent's left wrist with your right hand and pinch it upward, and hold the opponent's right wrist with your left hand and pull it to the lower left side. In this way, it affects the opponent's center of gravity and prevents him from advancing, forming a tiger's momentum.
5. Niu Chunming:
The opponent used too much force and attacked straight forward, so I retreated and broke up to divert the opponent's attacking hand to one side, and then flew up with my left foot to kick it. I put my left toe on the ground to prepare for kicking at any time.
The opponent attacks with both hands, which is unstoppable. I use my hands to stick to his wrists and step back to dodge his attack. At the same time, I stick my right hand upwards and my left hand downwards to spread the opponent's power. If I turn my arms outwards again, all the strength of the opponent's body will be lost.
