太極散手對打
本文摘錄自 陳炎林 前輩所著 :
楊式太極拳刀劍杆推手散手合輯一書
散手在太極拳中。亦為重要功夫之一。能補助推手與大捋之不足。凡在推手或大捋時。如人手易丢。或無沾黏掤化諸勁。則散手尚焉。太極拳中之散手。完全與他派不同。其沾黏連隨。捨己從人。內勁化發。綿綿不斷。一如推手大捋。勿論一手或一式。均有化有發。出乎自然。全以腰腿為主。而無硬施強行等動作。學者練習推手大捋至相當程度後。則散手之應用。萬不可不研究。否則如九仞之崇。所欠一簣。豈不惜哉。太極散手。分單人練習與雙人練習二種。單人練習。方式甚多。或用掌。或用拳。或用腕。或用肘。或用肩。或用腰。或用胯。或用膝。或用足。（共九節。節節能發人。）凡拳架中任何一勢一手。皆可單練。惟姿勢、應用、內勁、及運氣等法。則非由名師傳授不可。雙人練習。係將全套十三勢拳架中各式。一一拆開。隨每手用法。互相聯貫。合成散手對打。其間接連之處。可謂天衣無縫。千變萬化。奧妙無窮。誠拳中之傑作也。學者如能將其全套上下手各式熟記。並能應用。則在單人盤架子時。姿勢卽能準確美觀。而興趣愈覺濃厚。心身獲益。恐非筆墨所能形容。至推手大捋時。更可左右逢迎。出奇制勝。實為太極拳中之結晶。希學者切勿漠視之。
THE TAIJI TWO-PERSON SPARRING SET
In Taiji Boxing, the sparring
set is one of the major practices. It can make up for the ways in which pushing
hands and large rollback are lacking. Generally when doing pushing hands or
large rollback, if you become easily disconnected from your opponent’s hands,
or if you are having trouble sticking, warding off, or neutralizing, then the
sparring set is valuable.
The sparring in Taiji Boxing is completely
different from other styles of martial arts.
– Stick, adhere, connect, and follow.
– Let go of your plans and respond to the
opponent.
– Neutralize and issue with internal power
[rather than external strength].
– Move continuously without interruption.
Just like in pushing hands and large
rollback, whatever the technique or posture, there is always neutralizing and
issuing. They are to happen naturally, always directed from your hips, and
without stiffness creating exerted action in the movements.
After you have reached a high level in
practicing pushing hands and large rollback, then the practical functions in
the sparring set should definitely be studied. Otherwise it is like making a
hundred-foot-tall monument but lacking that one last basket of materials and
leaving it at only ninety-nine feet – would it not be a pity?
Taiji sparring is divided into two types:
solo practice and paired practice. In the solo practice, the methods are very
numerous, using palm, fist, wrist, elbow, shoulder, waist, hip, knee, or foot
(all nine of these sections being able to strike the opponent one after
another). Generally within the boxing sets, any of the techniques can be practiced
solo, but the postures, applications, internal power, movement of energy, and
so on, should be imparted from a qualified teacher.
Paired practice is related to each of the
entire series of thirteen dynamics [i.e. the eight techniques of ward-off,
rollback, press, push, pluck, rend, elbow, and bump, plus the five directions
of footwork – forward, back, left, right, and center] within the solo set. One
by one they are plugged in, according to appropriateness of response, and
linked together with each other to compose the two-person sparring set. The way
it has been put together can be described as seamless, constantly transforming,
endlessly subtle, and is truly the masterpiece within the system.
If you can familiarize yourself with every
posture in the whole set, on both sides, and are able to apply them, then when
looking at your solo set you will find you are able to make the postures more
precise and elegant, thus increasing your interest, and the benefit to your
mind and body I doubt words would be adequate to describe. During pushing hands
or large rollback, you will be more able to receive attacks from any direction
and defeat opponents with surprises, and then truly the contents of Taiji
Boxing will have come together for you. I hope you will be sure not to
underestimate it.
