Do you have to buckle your knees in Yongchun's horse step?


The "Gao Siping" horse of Yongchun requires the knees to bend inward and the soles of two feet to face inward, forming the Chinese "eight" shape. This is the characteristic of the two character sheep horse. In short, its overall characteristic is "internal buckle". However, the name of "Er Zi Zhu Yang" is not clear. It can also write "Er Zi Zhu Yang". Although the action of "Nei Kou" can "Zhu Yang" and cover the lower Yin, it is difficult to explain where "Er Zi" comes from. There are other schools of Yongchun boxing call Mabu "Er Shu Bi Yang", which means that two trees are stuck with sheep's horns, making sheep unable to advance or retreat. The pronunciation of "Shu" is similar to the dialect pronunciation of "Zi". Nan, fan and Shun in Guangdong read "Zi" as "Zhu", and "Zhu" and "Shu" are the same pronunciation. No matter what the name of Ma Bu is, there is no difference in one of the key words, that is, a "拑, word," 拑 ", that is," buckle ".
The "inside buckle" horse has many advantages, it can intercept the attack from the middle line, make itself into a geometric shape, stand firmly, and can be used as the back seat foundation of kicking. Taijiquan has "leech fried legs", which is used to describe the leg's strong flexion and extension, high flexibility, just like leech Fried's bouncing power. Flexion of the "buckle" foot, can certainly increase the power to move the body.
How much of the horse's paw should be swayed and how much angle should it be? Taijiquan, which also emphasizes leg strength, also pays attention to the angle of the horse's step. The back toe of Tai Chi lunge generally points to 45 degrees, and the open step can be slightly larger than 45 degrees, but not more than 90 degrees. The soles of the feet of the two character orange sheep horse are also the same. If you want to stand still, it can be as much as 45 degrees. If you want to find a bridge or a marker finger, you can move more than 45 degrees, but not more than 90 degrees, so that your feet are shaped like an eight character. In the same way, holding hands is the exercise of moving feet. The change and difference of stride length is larger than that of bridge searching and standard finger. Therefore, it is extremely practical and reasonable not to rigidly set 45 degrees. It can be said that when holding hands, the slope of the sole of the foot should be maintained between 45 and 90 degrees, which is very accurate and in line with the law.
The angle of the sole of the foot is not absolute, and the knee buckle movement, which is complementary to it, should be the same, without absolute flexion. When moving back and forth, the horse will walk higher and the legs will be straight. Step back and stand firm, or mark the horse to punch. At the moment when the action is finished, the horse step should be locked and the degree of flexion should be more. In other words, in the whole process of holding the hand, the foot does not have to maintain a fixed flexion. Stability and dexterity need to be parallel, and they have to have both.
As a matter of fact, when you practice Yongchun boxing and start to achieve the state of whole body spirit communication, the horse step can be raised, almost upright. But it does not lose stability and elasticity. The same is true when you practice Yongchun boxing. As long as you find your own spirit communication, you can know your own internal dynamics and the situation of each joint of your opponent, whether the horse step "buckles" is not very important It's too late. However, if you stand high, you can't hold the middle line. From a physical point of view, you can't "touch the sun". But because the practitioner has perfect skills, the desire of both sides has been integrated, and the opponent's movement and stillness are completely known to me. Then, when the opponent's foot comes out, I have insight into the opportunity, and his foot hasn't been kicked out, which has made him lose his center of gravity. It doesn't matter whether the knee is buckled or not, whether the sole of the foot is 45 degrees or not.
