螳螂拳短打為長拳條目 長拳即短打綱領/Tanglangquan Duan Da Wei Chang Quan Tiaomu Chang Quan Ji Duan Da Gangling – Tanglangquan’s Short Strike is Long Fist Entry Long Fist is Short Strike Guiding Principle

躥跳出入,長拳之所有也,短打中可無此身法乎,滾漏提纏,短打之所有也,長拳中可無此身法乎,今人使拳者,一在天涯,一在地角,手舞足蹈,不知何為氣盡力歇,猶未交手。

Leaping, Jumping, Going, & Entering, Long Fist has all of these, Short Striking does not have these Body Methods. Rolling, Leaking, Raising, & Winding, Short Strike has all of these, Long Fist Striking does not have these Body Methods. Modern people cause boxing to be “one point at the ends of the Earth, & one point in the local corner.” Hands dance & feet trip, not knowing how by way of Qi one’s striving stops, as if you have not yet Crossed Hands.

即偶一打對,一手一腳倏然輒過,求不相犯,因曰長拳不如短打蓋嫌其手法疏闊,而無精密之致也,不知此並非長拳也,長拳即長驅大進,橫衝豎撞而言之也,為勢雖多,原非空論。

That is, once in a while strike the opponent, one hand & one foot suddenly cross at once, seeking not to mutually assault. You’ll say the reason is Long Fist is inferior to Short Strike, hiding its inaccurate Hand Methods behind resentment, & not devotedly refining it. Not knowing this really isn’t Long Fist. Long Fist is long driving & big entering, horizontal thrusting & vertical crashing, with regard ms to the older words, because its power is greater, it isn’t an empty theory.

短打者,即短兵相接,粘拿貼靠而言之也,原系一事,功無二理,世多錯會,故特辨之。

Short Strike is drawing near & fighting at close quarters. Adhering, Grabbing, Attaching, & Leaning pertain to it, the original system is one thing, the gong is not two principles. In a generation, many will make mistakes, what is special is to be the one that recognizes it.

  1. I have been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
    It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web
    will be much more useful than ever before.

  3. Hi, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I look at your blog site in Chrome, it looks
    fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it
    has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
    Other then that, very good blog!
