En El Pasado, El Estilo Bajiquan, Fue También Conocido Como “Bazi Quan En el pasado, el estilo bajiquan, fue también conocido como “bazi quan” (El boxeo de Objetivos), “bazi quan” (Puño de los ocho jeroglíficos) y “bazi quan” (puño rastrillo). Durante la dinastía Qing, el bajiquan fue popular en el condado Cang de la provincia de Hebei y en los condados vecinos de Yanshan, Nanpi y Ninqjin. Baji Quan es conocido por su energía, vigor, simplicidad y duras técnicas del combate. El boxeo de los ocho extremos es simple y claro, consiste en técnicas cortas y potentes tanto en ataque como en defensa. Los codos se usan frecuentemente en direcciones sencillas y claros. Los golpes explosivos (fajing), son poderes generados a traves del cuerpo y se estimulan a través de la respiración, la cual se articula por dos sonidos de “Heng” y “Ha” proyectándolos contra el adversario y que nos aporta una fuerza mayor. En este estilo se dan poderosos golpes, usando los codos y hombros en el combate cuerpo a cuerpo y próximo al oponente. LA FILOSOFÍA EN EL BAJI Quan: Baji Quan es un estilo extremadamente práctico y su filosofía refleja este énfasis en el aspecto de la práctica. El nombre originario de este estilo fue traducido como “Puño de Rastrillo” para describir la forma de la mano durante la ejecución de la técnica que todo lo atrapa. El uso del nombre “ocho extremos” se refiere a la explicación más sofisticada de las bases en los aspectos básicos y esenciales del estilo para desarrollar las 8 direcciones. Baji es un término usado en el antiguo libro, “Huainanzi” (Libro del Principe de Huai Nan de Liu An c. 140 A.D). El libro asegura y sostiene que entre los Cielos y la Tierra hay nueve “Jio” (regiones) y ocho “Ji” (espacios); más allá de los ocho “Ji” hay ocho “Yan” (extensiones en la lejana distancia); más allá de los ocho “Yan” hay ocho “Hong” (anchura / o límites). Se decía que el Baji es algo que se extiende y expande hacia el infinito. Incluso, en el “Huainanzi”, se dice: “Hay grandes caminos que se extienden lejos, alcanzando los ocho límites”. Este concepto tamnbien hacia referencia a las 8 direcciones del Bagua. Este concepto se aplica por tanto a la práctica y entrenamiento de este estilo. Por ejemplo, la fuerza se usa mediante empujones explosivos hacia fuera en todas las direcciones. Desde la posición de caballo y posición de arco y flecha, el practicante de Baji quan adquiere ventaja tanto de la fuerza de la gravedad (重力) y torsión (旋力) para generar la fuerza o energía aplicada desde el Dantien “jing hundido” (沉坠劲) y del jing cruzado (十字劲). Se muestra que el poder o la energía generada del Baji proviene de todas las direcciones al mismo tiempo. Ejerciendo un poder especial el desarrollo de Chang Shi Jing. LA PRÁCTICA DE BAJI QUAN: El entrenamiento y practicas de Baji Quan se desarrolla en diferentes etapas, por las cuales se reforzara el organismo y adquirimos las habilidades especiales del estilo. Sin este entrenamiento especifico del estilo seria muy difícil adaptarse y completar su desarrollo: 1. Posiciones de entrenamiento. 2. Desplazamientos o pasos. 3. Formas. 4. Aplicaciones técnicas o marciales. 5. Formas de dos hombres. 6. Manejo de Armas. El Bajiquan intenta entrenar al practicante para que sea eficiente en el combate a cuerpo a cuerpo. La forma de entrenamiento duro y conciso, y los ejercicios de pasos desarrollan ataques continuos, firmes y rápidos. Los movimientos son lacónicos usando movimientos corporales como desarrollando los ejercicios de la seda, algunos cortos, otros largos, etc... que comienzan penetrantes y concisos, con frecuencia terminan con un codazo y al mismo tiempo conservando la estabilidad de la parte inferior del cuerpo, quiere decir, la postura, firme y arraigada como un poste. Cada una de las formas y aplicaciones están incorporadas a los siguientes conceptos: • Ai (hacer pasar la fuerza – empujando) • Bang (brazo inclinado) • Beng (derrumbar / desplomar) • Chuo (introducirse a la fuerza - empujar) • Chuankunjing (fuerza del giro envolvente y lazo) • Han (agitar / sacudir) • Ji (Presionar / golpear, empuje rápido de mano) • Jian (inclinarse o apoyarse sobre el adversario) • Kao (empujar con el hombro) • Gua (giro de cadera) para derrumbar. • Kwa (empujar usando el peso del cuerpo) • Tu (penetrar, atravesar, abrirse camino o paso) • Xi (golpear con la rodilla) • Zhou (golpear con el codo) • Zhuangkaojing (fuerza de empuje e inclinación) Además, también existen técnicas como; agarres, proyecciones, lucha cuerpo a cuerpo y técnicas de Chi Kung, por tanto se considera que el Bajiquan es un estilo muy completo. POSICIONES DE ENTRENAMIENTO: Las posiciones de Baji son bajas y anchas comparadas con las de Shaolin u otros estilos del norte. El entrenamiento estático se centra en cuatro posiciones básicas como son: la posición de caballo (马步 - mabu), la posición de arco y flecha (弓步- gongbu), la posición de medio caballo (半马步 - bamabu) y la postura de paso vacío (虚步- xubu). La posición de caballo es ligeramente más ancha para permitir un mayor movimiento al dar un puñetazo frontal. La posición de arco y flecha, es similar a la posición de Shaolin con un 60 por ciento del peso esta sobre la pierna adelantada pero la potencia (fuerza) surgiendo de la pierna atrasada, durante el cambio de la posición de caballo a la de arco y flecha. En la posición de medio caballo, la distribución del peso (60%) está cambiada a la pierna de atrás. El entrenamiento de las posiciones se centra principalmente y en el inicio de los entrenamientos en la distribución del peso y una adecuada posición y firmeza de la postura corporal, son en los entrenamiento posteriores los que incorporarán las técnicas de manos y sus potenciales aplicaciones. Por ejemplo, desde la posición de caballo el practicante puede ejecutar o practicar las diferentes técnicas de palma y codos. 取熊虎之形于神 以八极之意御气 La forma de caminar del Bajiquan puede ser descrito metafóricamente asi; “Moviéndose como un oso y con el espíritu del tigre”. TÉCNICA DE DESPLAZAMIENTOS : Durante la fase de entrenamiento de la forma de caminar o desplazarse sobre el terreno, el practicante aprende a como cambiar el centro de gravedad rápida y efectivamente de una postura a otra, mientras cubre la distancia y ejecuta una técnica. El paso del oso (熊步) requiere que el practicante camine lentamente en cuclillas. El peso del cuerpo deberá estar siempre sobre la pierna delantera. La columna vertebral deberá estar recta y la parte superior relajada de manera natural (los hombros) igual que el taiji quan. Esto es conocido como la postura del “Oso” porque al moverse para balancear las manos ligeramente, uno se mueve intentando imitar el movimiento de un oso. El movimiento puede incluso hacerse caminando en diagonal. El practicante se mueve de lado a lado pero mantiene la misma distribución del peso y la postura corporal como en la postura del oso. El brazo del Tigre (虎膀) requiere que el practicante ejecute un puñetazo con ambas manos estiradas al frente mientras golpean frontalmente. La técnica requiere que la potencia o fuerza, surja del giro de la cadera y del estiramiento de los hombros más que del brazo. Durante la práctica, ambos brazos deberán permanecer relajados y ligeramente flexionados en todo momento. Las técnicas de las posiciones adicionales requieren que el practicante haga cambios entre las posiciones básicas y las adicionales, mientras se mueve. Por ejemplo, desde la posición del oso a la posición de arco y flecha, mientras ejecutan un puñetazo o golpe de palma. LAS FORMAS: En la práctica de las diversas formas, la regla general es “mantener el cuerpo recto y usar la columna como un eje”. Cada forma incorpora movimientos que incluyen a los hombros, espalda, codos y pelvis. Todas combinaciones son cortas per ricas e intentan enseñar a los estudiantes comprender los principios del combate como: DA (golpear), SHUAI (proyectar), NA (agarrar o atrapar) y TUI (empujar). En el entrenamiento tradicional, las formas de Bajiquan son: • Liuzhoutou (“6 extremos del codo”). • Ji Gang Ba Shi (Los ocho movimientos dorados) siendo esta una rutina básica del estilo Wu Bajiquan. • Ba Ji Xiao Jia (Pequeña estructura o Forma corta de Baji) En esta forma se requiere que uno esté estable y firme en su postura, mientras entrena sus agarres y habilidades de ataque, forma esencial del estilo. • Da Ba Ji (Gran estructura o Forma larga de Baji). Esta forma entrena el trabajo de pies para que sean rápidos y fácilmente manejables. Mientras que al mismo tiempo el practicante aprende sobre como un paso firme y fuerte, puede incrementar la potencia de un movimiento drásticamente. Esto permitiría al practicante aprender a como concentrar la potencia de todo su cuerpo en una sola técnica. Los principales movimientos ofensivos usados en esta forma o rutina son predominantemente de lucha cuerpo a cuerpo y a corta distancia. • Baji dui liang jie: es una forma de lucha encadenada entre dos hombres la cual explica las aplicaciones de algunas de las técnicas del bajiquan en un combate real. • Liudake (“6 grandes aperturas”) Las 6 aperturas son; DING (empujar con el codo o la rodilla), BAO (abrazar), DAN (llevar el palo o la yunta), TI (sujetar), KUA (caminar sobre) y CHAN (giro envolvente). • Badaizhou (“8 grandes métodos”) Esta es una forma avanzada que contienen técnicas más especializadas pertenecientes a este estilo. • Ying shouquan (“Puño de las manos que responden”, contienen 48 grandes bloques y 64 métodos de manos). • Gonggong baji (“Entrenamiento de acero de bajiquan”). Especialmente dedicado a los entrenamientos fortalecimiento y de Qigong. • Baji shuanggui (“Los 2 senderos de bajiquan”). LAS FORMAS DE ARMAS: • Yezhan dao (“sable de lucha nocturna” ). • Ti liu piaoyao dao (“llevando el sable del sauce que se balancea”). • Liuhe daqiang (“gran lanza de seis coordinaciones”).

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION The wuxia film is the oldest genre in the Chinese cinema that has remained popular to the present day. Yet despite its longevity, its history has barely been told until fairly recently, as if there was some force denying that it ever existed. Indeed, the genre was as good as non-existent in China, its country of birth, for some fifty years, being proscribed over that time, while in Hong Kong, where it flowered, it was gen- erally derided by critics and largely neglected by film historians. In recent years, it has garnered a following not only among fans but serious scholars. David Bordwell, Zhang Zhen, David Desser and Leon Hunt have treated the wuxia film with the crit- ical respect that it deserves, addressing it in the contexts of larger studies of Hong Kong cinema (Bordwell), the Chinese cinema (Zhang), or the generic martial arts action film and the genre known as kung fu (Desser and Hunt).1 In China, Chen Mo and Jia Leilei have published specific histories, their books sharing the same title, ‘A History of the Chinese Wuxia Film’ , both issued in 2005.2 This book also offers a specific history of the wuxia film, the first in the English language to do so. It covers the evolution and expansion of the genre from its beginnings in the early Chinese cinema based in Shanghai to its transposition to the film industries in Hong Kong and Taiwan and its eventual shift back to the Mainland in its present phase of development. Subject and Terminology Before beginning this history, it is necessary first to settle the question ofterminology , in the process of which, the characteristics of the genre will also be outlined.

  • Animating Race the Production and Ascription of Asian-Ness in the Animation of Avatar: the Last Airbender and the Legend of Korra
    Animating Race The Production and Ascription of Asian-ness in the Animation of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra Francis M. Agnoli Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies April 2020 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 2 Abstract How and by what means is race ascribed to an animated body? My thesis addresses this question by reconstructing the production narratives around the Nickelodeon television series Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005-08) and its sequel The Legend of Korra (2012-14). Through original and preexisting interviews, I determine how the ascription of race occurs at every stage of production. To do so, I triangulate theories related to race as a social construct, using a definition composed by sociologists Matthew Desmond and Mustafa Emirbayer; re-presentations of the body in animation, drawing upon art historian Nicholas Mirzoeff’s concept of the bodyscape; and the cinematic voice as described by film scholars Rick Altman, Mary Ann Doane, Michel Chion, and Gianluca Sergi. Even production processes not directly related to character design, animation, or performance contribute to the ascription of race. Therefore, this thesis also references writings on culture, such as those on cultural appropriation, cultural flow/traffic, and transculturation; fantasy, an impulse to break away from mimesis; and realist animation conventions, which relates to Paul Wells’ concept of hyper-realism.

  • Meihuaquan E Shaolinquan, Intrecci Leggendari
    Questo articolo è un estratto del libro “ Il Meihuaquan: una ricerca da Chang Dsu Yao alle origini ” di Storti Enrico e altri Presentazione: Oggi questo testo rimane la testimonianza di un indagine che nuovi studi rendono un po’ datata. In particolare sempre più evidente è anche l’intreccio del Meihuaquan con la religione Buddista oltre che con quella Taoista e con il Confucianesimo. Resta invece mitologico il legame con il Tempio Shaolin ed il relativo pugilato. Rimangono comunque tanti altri interessanti spunti di riflessione. Meihuaquan e Shaolinquan, intrecci leggendari Classica foto sotto l’ingresso del tempio Shaolin Nei libri che parlano di Meihuaquan 梅花拳 emerge chiaramente il legame tra la Boxe del Fiore di Prugno ed il Taoismo ortodosso, sia perché se ne riconduce l’origine al Kunlun Pai 1, una scuola Taoista, sia perché membri importanti del Meihuaquan sono stati anche membri di sette quali Longmen 2 o Quanzhen , ma, cosa 1昆仑派 Scuola Kunlun 2 Han Jianzhong 韩建中, Meihuazhuang Quan ji Meihuazhuang Quan Daibiao Renwu 梅花桩拳及梅花桩拳代表人物 (La Scuola di Pugilato dei Pali del fiore di prugno e le figure rappresentative di questa scuola), articolo apparso nel numero 05 del 2007 della rivista Zhonghua Wushu 中华武术: 梅花桩拳传承的一百个字与道教传承的一百个字基本相同,梅花桩拳理中的天人合一、顺其自然等等,均说明 梅花桩拳与道教文化有着密切的联系,所以梅花桩拳中又流传有僧门道派和龙门道派等众多说法。 più importante, la teoria di questo stile si rifà alla filosofia Taoista. Quali sono allora i collegamenti con lo Shaolin Pai 少林派 (scuola Shaolin) visto che qualcuno fa risalire il Meihuaquan a questa scuola? E’ il Meihuaquan uno stile Shaolin?

  • Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine 2005
    (C) 2005 Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine, reprinted by permission sHan li A story about the longest staying foreigner in Shao Lin since over 500 years On 6th February, 1998, sHan li arrived at the Shao lin temple to study Buddhism, Chinese culture and tradition, and he has done so ever since. He has taken part in many events and demonstrations of the Shao lin Temple, and thus drew a lot of attention in the Chinese media. In 2000, sHan li was chosen by the Shao lin temple to take part in the "liu da men pai", a meeting held in Nanjing between Wudang Mountain, Ermei, Shaolin, Chen jia gou, Tibetan Lamas and kung dong. This meeting was the first of its kind for 800 years and lasted 2 weeks, in which time the attendants performed and exchanged knowledge. On the 9th April 2003, sHan li was personally chosen by his abbot, Shi Yong Xin, to be one of the select 10 people that would perform traditional Shao lin kung Fu to define the true Shao lin art. Professional Martial artists, both fighters and intellectual analysts from all over the world were invited. The meeting lasted for 3days, in which time "chan wu yi" (Zen, Art, Medicine and Kung Fu) was discussed and also the future development of the Shao lin tradition. sHan li has been in Shao lin for 7 years and is as much an intricate part of Shao lin as Shao lin is a part of him. Just imagine yourself, sitting on a couch at the age of 16 and suddenly being captured by a very strong urge to go to China.

  • Southern Mantis System Are Short Range, Based on Inch Force Power That Comes from Tendon Contraction
    Southern Praying Mantis system written by F.Blanco 1.ORIGINS In 1644 AD, the Manchurian tribe had invaded China and defeated the Ming dynasty rulers. Ming loyalist, nobles and soldiers, escaped and went south. As pointed by the Wushu historian Salvatore Canzonieri, many of this rebels relocated in the The Honan Shaolin. The Ching rulers discovered the temple was a focus of resistance and they burned Songshan Shaolin in 1768. After the destruction of the temple many of the Chu family and other nobles and also many Shaolin monks from Honan moved to the South Shaolin temples (Fujian and Jian Shi). The Chu Gar style legend mentions Tang Chan, (his real name was Chu Fook Too or Chu Fook To), who belonged to the Ming Imperial court (1) as one of this rebels that emigrated to the Southern temples. At the Fujian temple (located in the Nine Little Lotus Mountains) the monks and rebels shortened the time it took to master the boxing styles from 10 years to 3 years with the purpose of train quickly the fighters to overthrow the Ching rulers and restore the Ming dynasty. The Chu Gar legend says that Chu Fook Too became abbot in the Fujian temple and changed his name to "Tung Sim" (anguish) due to his deep anguish and hatred for the Ching's reign of terror and suffering. In the style's legend he was the person that developed the Southern Praying Mantis style. The monks (or Chu Fook Too himself) developed kung fu fighting styles that were faster to learn, based on close range fighting, designed to defeat a martial art skilled opponent (Manchu soldiers and Imperial Guard) with fast, powerful chains of attacks that left no time for counter-attacks.

Aside from being well-known entertainers, they all have learned Chinese martial arts and more importantly they all learn from the same Sifu (or martial art teacher) – internationally renowned Shaolin Kung Fu Master Shi Yan Ming of New York. View all 9 photos Master Shi Yan Ming The USA Shaolin Temple The USA Shaolin Temple The Shaolin Temple was first established in Henan, China approximately 1,500 years ago. It is the origin of Chan (or Zen) Buddhism. To protect the temple from the wars and guard against robbery, Shaolin monks were trained as martial artists and called warrior monks.
