Why is it difficult to find a successor?

Dog boxing is not easy to find: the name is not nice, and most of the 3000 disciples don't know it.

This is a unique boxing.

During the demonstration, the presenter rolled and jumped on the ground, suddenly leaning forward on one knee, supporting the ground with both hands, and sticking out his tongue with the other foot backward, similar to the action of a dog. Li has been practicing martial arts since he was 8 years old. He knows a rare boxing method-dog boxing. It is understood that this kind of boxing is mainly based on ground play.

Surprise: A clever man with kung fu can punch a dog.

This year is the year of the dog. The reporter saw a special and rare boxing method-dog boxing in Gaoming, Foshan. Different from the common Nanquan, which pays attention to the stability of the footwall, this boxing focuses on the ground attack, emphasizes the leg attack, and attacks the opponent after using techniques such as locking the leg. What impressed me most was that several practitioners could imitate the movements of dogs, such as falling, turning, jumping and jumping. Coupled with shouting, sticking out your tongue like a dog, vivid facial expressions, it is daunting and daunting. Many citizens at the scene were attracted by this punch. Some citizens told reporters that they had never seen or even heard of "dog boxing", which was very new.

"This kind of boxing is called ground boxing. Because it acts like a dog, it is commonly known as' dog boxing'. Boxing originated in Fujian, and it may be called' Tommy Tam Boxing' or' Di Lie Boxing' in Foshan because of taboos. " Performer Li told reporters.

It is reported that Li is a local who is good at Wing Chun Quan, Sanda, Jeet Kune Do and hard qigong. He has won the stunts and wing chun championship in Hong Kong International Wushu Festival twice.

Hard training: I started practicing at the age of 8, 18 left home to learn martial arts.

Recently, the reporter came to Li's martial arts school, and a corner of the martial arts school was covered with various award-winning certificates of Li. Li, dressed in traditional martial arts costumes, is not tall, but he looks very strong, and his words and eyes are very imposing.

Like many people born in 1970s and 1980s, influenced by Huo Yuanjia, Shaolin Temple and other film and television works, Li has been fascinated by Kung Fu since childhood. "When I was just 8 years old, I invited a master in the village and I studied with him for 2 years." Li said that at that time, he practiced basic skills such as Zama, but he also laid his own martial arts foundation. At that time, he gradually practiced with his master, "practicing some ground techniques such as somersault jumping, scissoring feet and pulling onions in dry land." Li sometimes imitates the dogs in the village to practice, carefully observing their walking posture, jumping and even wagging their heads and tails, grinning and sticking out their tongues.

In order to pursue his dream of kung fu, Li left his hometown at the age of 0/8 and went to Henan, Hebei and Guangxi to study martial arts. "At that time I practiced very hard. I ran 10 km before practicing every day. " Li told reporters. Besides running, 500 sit-ups, 500 push-ups and 300 pull-ups every day are also tests of will. In addition to training, there are sparring. Because of his small size, Li suffered a lot every time he confronted his classmates and was often knocked down. But he doesn't think so. "First of all, you can't be afraid. You must be motivated. The same is true of dog boxing, which seems to be knocked down, but in fact it is brewing a counterattack. " With perseverance, Li Weijun knocked out the others in turn for a while. And learned Sanda, Wing Chun, Jeet Kune Do, Tai Chi, Hard Qigong and other martial arts in just a few years.

1992, Li returned to Gaoming, but it was not logical to take kung fu as his career. "At that time, I felt that my qualifications were too shallow and my economy was average. It is not good to open a martial arts school. " So Li began to work as a worker in a sponge factory and opened a food stall to develop a gallery. At the same time, I have been practicing martial arts and accumulating experience to enhance my strength. Until 2002, he opened the first martial arts school.

Sharp: 48 seconds 150 coconut.

Li's greatest thing is his hard qigong. In 20 17, he gave two amazing performances in front of the public. In March, he chopped 150 coconuts in Gaoming Century Plaza in 48.06 seconds. 165438+1October, 87302 walnuts were smashed to pieces by plum in just 55 seconds. In addition, the "human flag" is also Li's specialty. At the invitation of the reporter, Li, 46, took off his shirt and moved his hands and feet. After a roar, he stepped on the props, supported his hands up and down on the iron bars, and instantly his legs were like flags hanging in the air, and his body was almost in a straight line. Li insisted on 10 for more than a second, and his volley leg could bend and kick easily. "I lasted for 38 seconds at the longest."

Li said that he could do this because he insisted on training for a long time. It is understood that Li Xiwu has been nearly 30 years. Except the bad weather, he insists on getting up at 7 o'clock in the morning every day. Running exercise can improve his vital capacity. Every day, I train 25 basic skills of Wushu, such as back flip, upright leg and cartwheel, and constantly add strength training such as bench press and squat, and I have to split sand in the iron sand table, which costs nearly 3000 yuan. Time.

Teaching: 3000 disciples, but most of them don't know dog boxing.

For more than ten years, Li has owned three martial arts schools with 3,000 apprentices, the oldest being in his 60s and the youngest being only 4 years old. Another family has come to learn boxing for three generations. During the interview, the reporter also met a young man 19 years old named Pang Rui. He met Li on the Internet. Last year, he rode a bike for 26 days from his hometown of Jinan, Shandong, and went to Foshan to learn from his teacher. When asked why he wanted to learn martial arts from Li, Pang Rui said, "I just saw the master and thought it was amazing. He is a powerful man. "

In addition to teaching boxing, Li also went to cities in the Pearl River Delta to perform and spread brilliant martial arts. He also actively cooperated with the government to create a kungfu culture atmosphere in Foshan, participated in kungfu performances and showed the kungfu culture to the public. He said that his disciples went as far away as Xinjiang and went back to open a martial arts school after learning boxing, which was also an exchange. "At present, more than 30 disciples have opened their own martial arts schools all over the country." However, Dog Boxing told Li Lai that he only learned and practiced occasionally. "I didn't understand it when I was a child, but the master taught me to learn." Li's 3000 apprentices mainly learn Wing Chun Boxing and Sanda, and most of them don't know dog boxing. "There are fewer Foshan people who know about dog boxing, and' dog' is not very nice. It is not good to do something like a dog. " He also mentioned that Wushu boxing itself has certain regional characteristics, such as Foshan Yongchun Henan Shaolin Boxing. "There will be more people who should learn dog boxing in Fujian."

What is "dog boxing"?

Landing to turn defeat into victory

The reporter learned that Tufeng Boxing is one of the rare traditional boxing types in southern China, also known as "Tugou Boxing", commonly known as Dog Boxing. Boxing is evolved from imitating the jumping, jumping, shaking, falling and turning of dogs, and there are many ground movements. Dog boxing takes the essence of fighting dog legs to win the hand, and has the reputation of "Shaolin flying dragon on the ground"

Southern Fujian folk dog boxing began with five great masters in the early Qing Dynasty. She is called "Shaolin Five Old Men" in the novel with five people, namely, Zen Master Zhi Shan and Taoist Bai Mei. In ancient times, due to the insufficient strength of women's foot-binding, the five great masters found new methods on the basis of kneeling cross-legged and waiting for daily Buddhist postures, and learned and absorbed the dog's biting, agile falling and rolling postures in fighting, creating a unique stunt of defeating the ground. Later, it was passed on to Fang Shiyu, a young hero in Guangdong, and was improved to join the actual combat action. Although this is a legend, some experts have verified that geographical boxing has really spread among the people since the early Qing Dynasty. Later, it was carried forward by Chen Ayin, Chen Yijiu and others, mainly in Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Nanping, Jianyang, Shanxi, Jilin, Beijing and other places. On May 23rd, 20 1 1, authentic boxing was approved by the State Council and included in the third batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.

It is understood that this kind of boxing fighting focuses on the attack function of the leg. The whole set of boxing consists of several routines, which are divided into upper, middle and lower sets, especially the defense and attack techniques of the middle and lower sets. As the saying goes, "a dog can hit a lotus flower." The reporter saw that after lying on the ground, Li supported his hands on the ground, and his legs kept turning rhythmically and forcefully, up and down, back and forth, left and right, and turned over. In addition, when Li takes his apprentice to demonstrate, he sometimes rolls and jumps to mobilize his opponent. After Li Weijun dodged a little after the disciple punched, he immediately grabbed his fist and buckled his joints, then tripped it, turned it over and pressed it to the ground. "This is a good move for carp." . After the apprentice was at a loss, because the joints were locked, there was nowhere to exert force, which only made the "attack" unable to fight back.

Therefore, although boxing imitates the dog's movements vividly and is very attractive, martial arts practitioners still attach great importance to the actual combat of boxing. "Knock down to the ground and then shoot, and bind and lock each other's hands and feet with various actions so that they can't move. In the war, it seems that the scene is in the wind, but in fact it is waiting for an opportunity to win. " Li said to him. He also mentioned that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which is well-known in the world at present, is similar to the characteristics of dog boxing to strengthen lock control, and it can also achieve good results repeatedly in free fighting and other competitions.
