Xingyi Kempo for the year 2011...

Xingyi Kempo was founded in 1 July 2010. It has been a fulfilling journey for the past 18 months. We have conducted regular training on Xingyi Quanfa at Cairnhill Community Centre and a short period between late 2010 to April 2011 at Marsiling Community Centre. Xingyi Kempo has also commenced its Bagua Zhang training since September 2010.

Two of our students had participated in the National Wushu Competition 2011 and Xingyi Kempo is proud that their hard work had been paid off. Senior Lim Hock Chan had came in 1st for Bagua Zhang and Lee Zhi Hao had also came in 1st in Xingyi Quan.

Xingyi Kempo had also conducted its first grading test on 6 August 2011 for students who have been training with us for some time and had completed the necessary modules.

With the year 2011 coming to an end and if you like to include keeping yourself healthy and fit while learning a new art, picking up Xingyi Quanfa and Bagua Zhang are good options to be taken into consideration. The new Xingyi Quanfa course is commencing on 7 January at Cairnhill Community Centre. You are also welcome to join our ongoing Bagua Zhang training. You can contact Master Tay for more details.

See you in our upcoming courses.

Xingyi Kempo wishes everyone Happy Holidays!

八卦掌 培训课程

八卦掌是中国著名的内家拳术,它是一种以掌代拳, 以行步走转为主的拳术. 由于它运动时纵横交错﹐分为四正四隅八个方位﹐与“周易”八卦图中的卦象相似﹐故名八卦掌.

八卦掌的运动特点是 身捷步灵﹐随走随变﹐与对方交手时身体起伏拧转﹐敏捷多变。拳谚说它“形如游龙﹐视若猿守﹐坐如虎踞﹐转似鹰盘”。其基本功以桩步﹑行步为基础.

其锻练方法松肩沉肘, 实腹畅胸, 滚钻争裹, 奇正相生.
其 姿势舒展, 刚柔相济, 开合虚实. 摆扣转换, 注重内舛兼修, 强身健体, 延年益寿, 防身制敌的拳种.

Bagua Zhang is an renowned Chinese Internal Style Martial Arts. It uses palm strikes to replace punches. Due to its unique footwork that takes great resemblance to the Eight Trigram Diagram in Zhou Yi (Book of Change), this set of martial arts is named as Bagua Zhang (lit.Eight Diagram Palm).

八卦掌被列为中华武术内家拳的体系里。而新加坡形意拳法在于推广内家拳，这八卦掌的推行就自然不在话下。以下为一段由郑顺利师傅所演練的八卦掌介绍片断。

八卦掌简介与培训课程 Introduction to Bagua Zhang and Bagua Zhang Training Course

八卦掌是中国著名的内家拳术,它是一种以掌代拳, 以行步走转为主的拳术. 由于它运动时纵横交错﹐分为四正四隅八个方位﹐与“周易”八卦图中的卦象相似﹐故名八卦掌.

其特点是 姿势舒展, 刚柔相济, 开合虚实. 摆扣转换, 注重内舛兼修, 强身健体, 延年益寿, 防身制敌的拳种。

八卦掌的运动特点是 身捷步灵﹐随走随变﹐与对方交手时身体起伏拧转﹐敏捷多变。拳谚说它“形如游龙﹐视若猿守﹐坐如虎踞﹐转似鹰盘”。其基本功以桩步﹑行步为基础。 其锻练方法松肩沉肘, 实腹畅胸, 滚钻争裹, 奇正相生, 流传至今大约有一百多年。

主要手法有推﹑托﹑带﹑领﹑搬﹑拦﹑截﹑扣﹑拿﹑打﹑封﹑闭﹑12法。要求能进能退﹐能化能生﹐虚实结合﹐变化无穷。每掌发出﹐皆要以腰作轴﹐周身一体﹐内外相合﹐外重手眼身法步﹐内修心神意气力。

八卦掌分为“定架子”﹑“活架子”﹑“变架子” 3步功夫。“定架子”是基础功夫﹐要求一招一式﹐规规矩矩﹐宜慢不宜快﹐以求姿势正确﹐桩步牢固﹐行步平稳。

八卦掌的基本内容是八母掌﹐也称老八掌﹐即单换掌﹑双换掌﹑顺势掌﹑背身掌﹑翻身掌﹑双抱掌, 磨身掌﹑和平展掌﹐各地流传内容不完全相同﹐有以狮﹑鹿﹑蛇﹑鹞﹑龙﹑熊﹑凤﹑猴八形代表的﹐也有用双撞掌﹑摇身掌﹑穿掌﹑挑掌等作为基本八掌的内容。其中每一掌都可以衍化出很多掌法﹐素有一掌生八掌﹑八八六十四掌之说。

新加坡形意拳法即将在来临的八月份开始开办一系列的八卦掌培训班。您可在这部落格的右边面板查询相关的训练内容与时间表。
