Ancient Tai Chi - Defensive Strategies & Mindset - Austin,Texas

Comments

In 1984, a book by Jia Zhaoxuan was published in Henan province titled Shaolin Wushu (少林武术), in it is presented a routine named ‘Xinyi Quan’ (‘Heart and Mind Boxing’). Jia Zhaoxuan declares that his family was in possession of this boxing method since one of his ancestors, Jia Shuwang, learned Shaolin Quan in the monastery. Jia Zhaoxuan explains that his ancestor had hand copied an old manuscript in the monastery that described this set. This event occurred during the reign of the Xangxi Emperor (1662-1723), around the time of Chen Wangting’s death. The set has the same sequences of techniques as Da Yi Lu (Chen Taiji first form), a lot of techniques have the same name, with numerous and definite analogies.

According to T. Dufresne & J. Nguyen, a Henan Shaolin master named “Zhang Aijun told us he knew this sequence as Xie Quan (斜拳 - Boxing oblique) and was practiced in Zhengzhou (郑州) and its environs. Zhengzhou is a major city about fifty kilometers northeast of Shaolin, about forty kilometers to the east of the village of Chen (陈家句) and the town of Zhaobao (赵堡镇). We ourselves have noted that Jia Songan (贾松安), grand-son of Jia Zhaoxuan, this linage is currently in Kaifeng (开封) and Jiazhai (贾寨) under the name of Shaolin Xiexingquan (少林斜行拳) – Shaolin Slanted Walking Boxing, or "Xiexingquan of the old school of Shaolin Xinyi" (少林古传心意邪行拳). Aijun Zhang cited two other professors, now deceased, who taught the Xiequan. These are Zhang Rulin (张儒林) from Xingyang (荥阳), twenty kilometers from Zhengzhou, and Li Xinfa (李新发) from Zheng Zhou.”

If one lists the names of the techniques that are in common to both Shaolin Xiexing Quan and Taiji Quan, there are more than twenty names:
Ao 拗,
Bai He Liang Xi 白鹤晾翅,
Bai She Tu Xin 白蛇吐信,
Da Hu 打虎,
Danbian 單鞭,
Er Qi Jiao 二起腳,
Gao Tan Ma 高探馬,
Hui Tou Wang Yue 回頭望月,
Jingang Dao Dui 金剛搗碓,
Jinji Du Li 金雞獨立,
Kua Hu 跨虎,
Lianhuan Chui 連環捶 / Lianhuan Pao 連環炮,
Long Chu Hai 龍出海 / Long Chu Shui 龍出水,
Qian Hou 前后,
Qixing 七星,
Shi Zi Jiao 十字脚,
Shi Zi Shou 十字手,
Tongbei 通背,
Wangong She Hu 彎弓射虎,
Xie Xing 斜行,
Ye Ma Fen Zong 野馬分鬃,
Yuanhou Xian Guo 猿猴献果,
Yunding 雲頂 / Baiyun G*i Ding 白雲蓋頂,
Yunü 玉女, etc.

Continues T. Dufresne & J. Nguyen, “As we have already said, this Xiequan has the same structure and the same techniques as in sequences of the Chen style Taiji Quan Yi Lu). However, the punch and its repetitions [found in the Chen and Yang styles] are absent, as in the style of Taiji Quan Zhaobao. If the punch has been added to the Taiji Quan, after its separation from the Xiequan, this addition is necessarily old. This punch is already in the Chenshi Quan Xie ("Compendium of Boxing and Weapons of Chen-style" - 陈氏拳械普), a manuscript which preserves the old lists of sequences of Chen Style Taiji Quan. Therefore Xiequan is a close relative of either Zhaobao or Chen style as it was formerly practiced. Note that this sequence is sometimes taught by practitioners of Changshi Wuji (苌氏武技) (a boxing widespread in the area, claiming Chang Naizhou 苌乃周, 1724-1783). However, we do not believe that this is its origin. Indeed, Xiequan techniques are quite different from those of Changshi Wuji that are particularly characteristic.”

Thus, Xiexing Quan and Chen Taiji Quan may both have descended from the same ancestral root style or Xiexing may have descended from the same ancestor as Taiji Quan. Research has shown that this Shaolin Xiexing Quan set may be a version of a Tongbei Xing Quan set that Xinyi Quan master Ji Longfeng had learned at Qianzai Temple, introducing it to Shaolin during his visits (again connecting the origins of Xinyi Quan and Chen Taiji Quan and suggesting that the two styles were drawing from the same original sources). According to ancient Tongbi and Tongbei quanpu manuals, Tongbei Quan was developed in the early 1500s using Shaolin Quan as a base, as shall be explained later in this book. There are also the sets of Changhua Xinyimen (长护心意门) and Xinyiba (心意把) Shaolin Quan.

Our Story

Welcome to Ancient Chen Tai Chi, where we focus on historical biomechanics, contemporary self-defense, and academic studies of Chinese Martial Systems. Modern Tai Chi promotions have undergone two waves of sports modifications since 1928. It is our belief Feudal Taijiquan preservation requires a clear division of goals in contemporary times- separating historical truth, sport, and modern exercise therapy. ACT features Feudal Biomechanics Training to enhance connections between the motor cortex and the body- for the scholar or athlete. We also emphasize historical accuracy and Real-World Self-Defense for the warrior.
