Yilu Rou Boxing (A Shaolin Monastery's Compendium of Pugilism Series) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

What is special about this routine lies in its multiple utilities such as-to use parlance of traditional Chinese medicine-'dredging up the system of main and collateral channels' in human body, 'activating the circulation of 'qi' and speeding up the flow of blood in vessels in human body'. In practicing this routine, a practitioner should have his shoulders and elbows leisurely posed and relax his lumbar muscles, in addition to leaving his knees staying slightly and effortlessly bent. Moreover he should strive to be free from any distractions and concentrate his mind on all the movements he is about to execute. All the movements this routine contains should be unfolded at a very slow and easy pace, though no pause or interruption whatever is allowed in the course of a single movement. The rate this routine goes at should suit well the practitioner's endeavor at regulating his breath; as a result all the moves he executes in performing this routine are not so much pugilistic as they are calisthenic, or even vaguely choreographic.
