Chén Zhuì Jìn 沈墜勁

## Sinking Power

Chén Zhuì Jìn, is to practice Bājíquán fundamental, why Chén Zhuì fall is fundamental, because Bājíquán no Chén Zhuì fall , there is no cross fresh and wrapping strength, Chén Zhuì fall of the strength of a direct impact on The effective play of cross-strength and winding-strength Although Shen Chuijing is basic, it is also an extremely important force.

The standard of Chén Zhuì Jìn is also found in Chén-Tàijiquán (陳式 太極拳). Therefore, it is not unreasonable to directly use Taijiquan to practice softness and softness in the later period of Baji. This is the same thing.

Finally, let me talk about the external performance. The performance of loose shoulders is that when doing arm movements, the shoulders move together. For those who are not loose, the shoulders are rigid with the body; when the performance of loose hips is the footwork, the pelvis is What can move is that it will rotate back and forth with the movement of the legs, not a single piece; the performance of loose piles is a bit like a person walking on a balance beam. According to the old saying "cat walk", when a cat walks, the crotch will rise and fall. Yes, it can move. Unlike loose hips, the hip bones are very flexible at this time. They can not only rotate back and forth, but also shake left and right. Even when they are moving, they can make very difficult balancing movements.

These are actually close to the physical development of Neijiaquan, but the difference of Bājíquán is that it must have muscle strength first, and the result is a flexible fat man (strong man). Looking at some heavyweights in UFC, the body is also flexible. The sex is very good. There is a player who seems to be an Indian or an Icelander. He has a body of several hundred kilograms. He is omnipotent in the splits and kicks. According to the Internet, it is "big heavyweight doing small heavyweight moves." The realm pursued by Bājíquán.

## Explanation

What is Bājíquán Shensanjin ? That sinking of body weight and bracing, called Chén Zhuì fall , as we move a stone, the stone is heavy, in order to hold up is very difficult, because the relationship between gravity is its own gravity down the . Therefore, Shen Shuijing not only has the sinking force, but also when your strength is sent, wherever it encounters the blocking object, the object will be subjected to a heavy impact. If it is sent to others, the person will feel an extremely heavy impact and cannot stop it.

## Bājíquán sinking strength-training method

Humans have mass, so they are bound by the gravity of the earth, and falling is inevitable. The greater the space of the fall, the greater the speed, the greater the impulse generated, and the greater the destructive effect on obstacles. When the impulse is released, the energy is exhausted, and work can no longer be continued. If you want to obtain this impact energy again, you can only raise your body or limbs and re-accumulate potential energy. In appearance, it's just falling together. However, considering the continuity of techniques and other aspects, there is not enough time or space to calmly accumulate momentum, so there is a compromise method, one part starts, part falls, and changes with each other.

Rise and fall, as the name suggests, means that there are ups and downs in boxing. This is the legendary wave-turning force, which means continuous wave after wave. Inner martial arts is different from boxing, and different from outer martial arts is not to go straight, but to move with the body. Get up and drill, fall and turn over, while you have to move forward, you still have the strength to drill up. If you attack a person at this time, you can lift the person's chassis and fly the person (you have enough skill to do it vulgar point is your instant explosive force amount greater job).

The key to "rising and falling" is expressed in the form of the strength of the hip and spine. The fundamental of the boxing is to build on the "rising and falling", which broadens various directions and different angles of strength mode. It is also the key to practicing Shen Suijin . The so-called "hip strength" is to put the body's mid-section strength on the body above the hand-sections, a sudden attack makes the opponent defenseless, and hard hits and advances. "Spine strength" is a state in which the body hits the ground like a "ball" and rebounds, forming an overall forward state. Two impulsive often accompanied by the line, "There must fall from there onwards must fall," Ba Ji Chén Zhuì fall practice casting process is the process of the human body "spring" when we can show arbitrary body Shen Suijin has become more than half of his continuous tremors, and the spring-like "start and fall" of the body can make the attack continuous.

As others have said, sinking stores potential energy in the elastic tendons/ligaments of the hips and torso and leg, like rubber bands, and the trick is to transfer that into a horizontal impulse with minimal energy lost in the transference, preferably a smooth amplification of releasing said potential energy into the desired weapon e.g. seven stars.

That amplification is the cool shit, and the better you get, the less you have to show overtly with a loose shirt on, therefore not telegraphic or giving away the source of your power vs a more obvious hip snap or other tell...this is basic fighting stuff and every aspect of the development should also increase your ability to continuously hone your power, from raw iron to steel to a finely layered samurai sword, the neigong is the forge, stance training is the traditional frame building much like a builder progressively designs and builds a strong structure.

So the stance training is also training the sequence of movements involved in the storing and releasing of energy, because our dantian/hip area is kind of suspended from above and below by somewhat springy or highly articulated anatomy with strong connections to the rest of the body, it is the anchor point for major sinews, which is my general term for the collageonous (?) tissues that are extremely strong, elastic, and somewhat contractile and/or possibly involved in more subtle physiological processes which are the mystery of nei gong...

But the image of a bow being drawn and released is a great mental image for the deliberate storing and lightning quick release that an arrow characterizes.

（一）沈墜勁闡釋

關於「沈墜勁」的解說，除了台灣八極拳大師劉雲樵先生在《八極拳》一

書中的解釋為：「所謂『沈墜勁』，不只是下盤的鍛鍊而已，而是使身體的各個部

位，在運勁時能垂直下沈且很穩定。 」。 在大陸的各派八極拳中鮮少聽到對「沈

墜勁」的介紹及解說，以致於對「沈墜勁」到底要如何施展？ 如何運用？ 其效果

又是如何？ 都無法明確的知悉。 筆者依據多年習武與實戰的心得斗膽提出對沈墜

勁的看法，雖為野人獻曝但希望能拋磚引玉，祈請武術界的大德能予以海涵指教。

圖一劉氏八極拳沈墜勁示意圖

在「格鬥八極拳」的拳法理論中，「沈墜勁」是練習「十字勁」的初級基礎。

「格鬥八極拳」的內勁培養程序依次為，「沈墜勁、十字勁、爆炸勁（而非纏絲

勁）」，亦即先培養單向垂直的「沈墜勁」，再衍生為垂直與水平交會的「十字勁」，

等到熟悉垂直、水平的勁道後要練習全方位的「爆炸勁」。 終極目的在培養身體

能發出如炸彈往四面八方爆裂一般的「爆炸勁」。 目前本文針對馬步的動作要領

加以分析並實驗，來表達本門對「沈墜勁」的看法。 本門「沈墜勁」要求能達到 「沈而不滯、快而不浮、既沈且浮」的境界，也就是說在對敵攻擊時移動快速且勁道威猛，而重心也是非常沈穩的，相信這也是所有熱愛八極拳的人所共同追求

的目標。 至於「十字勁」、「爆炸勁」日後再專文論述。

Sinking stores potential energy in the elastic tendons/ligaments of the hips and torso and leg, like rubber bands, and the trick is to transfer that into a horizontal impulse with minimal energy lost in the transference, preferably a smooth amplification of releasing said potential energy into the desired strike. So the stance training is also training the sequence of movements involved in the storing and releasing of energy, because our dantian/hip area is kind of suspended from above and below by somewhat springy or highly articulated anatomy with strong connections to the rest of the body, it is the anchor point for major sinews, which is my general term for the collagenous tissues that are extremely strong, elastic, and somewhat contractile and/or possibly involved in more subtle physiological processes which are the mystery of nei gong.
