Cangzhou in Hebei Province, as the hometown of China's famous martial arts, can be said to have a deep history of traditional martial arts. Cangzhou not only has the custom of martial arts, but also in the long history of the development of martial arts, there have been many highly skilled martial arts masters.
Hao Hongchang
Take this Mr. Hao Hongchang, who xiaobian wants to talk to you about today, he is a martial artist born and raised in Cangzhou, Hebei Province. So what about Mr. Hao Hongchang's actual combat kung fu? In other words, how strong is his actual combat ability? Next, Xiaobian will give you a careful analysis.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" > First of all, from Hao Hongchang's history of learning martial arts. </h1>
Born in 1910 in Cangzhou, Hebei Province, Mr. Hao Hongchang had been learning martial arts from his father, Mr. Hao Jichun (a high disciple of Mr. Gao Jingkui, a martial artist during the Qing Dynasty), and his early kung fu was basically inherited from his family (specifically: Eight Pole Quan, Split Hanging Fist, Erlang Fist, Cha Quan and various instruments).
Sun Yat-sen
In 1928, Hao Hongchang participated in the Xinhai Revolution with Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and then in 1929 he was admitted to the newly founded Nanjing Guoshuguan (hao Hongchang was only 19 years old at the time), and under the guidance of Zhang Xian, the deputy director of the GuoshuGuan (the apprentice of Mr. Li Shuwen, the "sharpshooter"), he had a deeper understanding of the Eight Pole Quan.
Prince Ping
In addition, Mr. Li Jinglin, Mr. Zhang Shusheng, Mr. Gao Zhendong, Mr. Wang Ziping, Mr. Ma Yingtu and Mr. Zhu Guofu and many other famous artists in the museum also gave Hao Hongchang some advice. Under the teaching of many famous teachers, Hao Hongchang not only learned many skills such as shape and meaning boxing, Bagua palm, taijiquan, boxing and wrestling, but also became an all-round high-achieving student who was proficient in kicking and wrestling in the Nanjing Guoshu Museum at that time (Mr. Ma Yingtu and Mr. Zhu Guofu also "married Jinlan").
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > Secondly, from Hao Hongchang's actual combat case. </h1>
In 1932, Mr. Hao Hongchang stayed in the Nanjing GuoshuGuan as soon as he graduated from the Nanjing GuoshuGuan with excellent results, and in 1933, when he participated in the National Wushu National Examination, he won the first place in the ungraded Sanda with a superb eight-pole boxing skill. Moreover, Mr. Hao Hongchang also circulated many practical cases during his teaching at the Nanjing GuoshuGuan.
For example, at the beginning of the establishment of the Nanjing GuoshuGuan, a monk from Mount Emei in Sichuan Province once held a Zen staff and made a provocative speech at the entrance of the Guoshuguan. When Mr. Hao Hongchang learned of this, he went out to persuade him, but the monk did not know how to wave his Zen staff and smashed directly into Mr. Hao's head with a move of "hitting the water and rushing the moon".
Mr. Hao Hongchang hurried to dodge the attack, and at the same time, his right hand grabbed the monk's Zen staff and made a move to "lead the sheep with his hand", and raised his left leg to kick his heart. The monk immediately fell on all fours to the sky, and then got up from the ground and felt faceless and had to leave in sorrow.
Another case occurred during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, when Mr. Hao Hongchang moved with the Nanjing Guoshu Museum to Kunming and Sichuan in Yunnan. When Mr. Hao Hongchang went to get a haircut that day, he had just cut it halfway when he heard a stir in the street. Mr. Hao Hongchang hurriedly pulled the panicked shop owner to inquire, and only then did he realize that there were gangsters on the street grabbing things.
In a fit of rage, Mr. Hao Hongchang grabbed a bench from the store and sneaked into the street, and saw about 100 gangsters wrapped in towels robbing with various instruments. Mr. Hao Hongchang, who was 28 years old, immediately shouted "Stop", but the gangsters saw that he was alone and surrounded him from all sides to prepare for the crime.
One of the gangsters took the lead in stabbing with a spear, but was provoked by Mr. Hao Hongchang's move of "picking up the clouds and seeing the sun", followed by a move of "Taishan pressing the top" to instantly beat him to the ground. Although some of the brave gangsters continued to attack with their weapons, they were basically beaten unilaterally by Mr. Hao Hongchang with a bench.
It is said that this battle was fought for more than 1 hour, and finally ended with this group of rabble-rousers holding their heads. The Kunming newspaper also reported on the fight on the second day, and Mr. Hao Hongchang's name rose to fame in the martial arts world.
In addition, in 1939, General Li Liejun (a second-class general of the National Revolutionary Army), who had difficulty walking due to high blood pressure, heard that martial arts could strengthen the body and cure diseases, and he quickly invited Mr. Hao Hongchang to the palace. Unexpectedly, General Li Liejun only studied martial arts for 2 years before his health was restored, and General Li Liejun has always treated Mr. Hao Hongchang with teacher courtesy.
In 1981, Mr. Hao Hongchang also won the first place in the traditional martial arts exhibition competition held in Shanghai, and since 1982, he has successively served as the consultant and head coach of the Workers' Wushu Team of the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions, as well as the director of the Shanghai Jingwu Sports Association, the head coach of the Wushu team and the hand coach.
In 1983, at the age of 78, Mr. Hao Hongchang also participated in the martial arts observation conference in Nanchang and surprised the four with a set of pure eight-pole boxing skills. It was not until November 1994 that Mr. Hao Hongchang passed away at the age of 84.
Finally, regarding the actual combat topic of Mr. Hao Hongchang's eight-pole boxing and multi-discipline martial arts, we will talk about it here for the time being today. I don't know what other different opinions you have about whether traditional martial arts kung fu can withstand the test of actual combat? Feel free to leave your valuable views and opinions below.
