黄家太极(散手):搬拦槌 + 双推 掌+ 收式

  如果你练太极只为自卫,其实不用学全套108,42, 24, ………..式太极拳, 只要熟练心仪的几招散手, 就足以应付一般的袭击,因为街头打斗,历时不过几十秒钟(有异于擂台赛),两三招重复使用(例如:搂臂冲拳,弯弓射虎,搬拦槌),则应付有余!Note: In 搬拦槌, the right punch should be synchronized with the left wrest-coiling which comprises wrist-locking and wrist-dragging(rather sophisticated !)
太极拳的误区

一般人对太极拳的认知,有以下的误区:(a) 太极可减肥吗 ?答:不但不可减肥,有时反而增肥,因为练了太极,胃口特好多吃,不就肥了!君不见太极大师杨澄甫有多胖?!  (b)练太极一定长寿? 答:不一定,太极大师杨班侯活不到六十 ! (c)练太极可去百病? 答:不一定:太极大师黄性贤也患糖尿病。(d) 太极推手可实战吗? 答:面对快拳进攻,要用缠丝手化之,然后连消带打反击,听劲,擒拿….可能用不上,除非纠缠在一起! 总之,要健康长寿除了练太极外,还要注意饮食,戒烟酒,少 摄取糖,油和盐。其实太极是动气功,开合要配 合呼吸(一般:开为呼,收为吸)和提肛(要求很高)。如果只求运动,不如打乒乓更有趣 !打乒乓除了四肢和眼球运动外,还训练你的判断力(如要判断来球是上旋,下旋或侧旋)和步法,是一种负重带氧 运动,比游泳更棒 !
黄家太极:分花拂柳(单手转身甩)

用内缠丝接拳,上步埋身, 穿对方腋下,发劲转身向后侧甩 !注意:在实战中,要使对手重跌,可先用右脚拦路(视频中没用,是怕跌伤对手),才发劲甩出!此招又称:单手转身摔,尤胜柔道(Judo)之双手转身甩 !!! < Note : In real fight, I would put my right leg in front of my opponent`s feet (instead of behind) so as to make him fall severely. >
Tai-ji : 野马分鬃 subdues high kick

Use outward-coiling to ward-off the kicking leg. Then apply wrist-coiling to lock and grip it. Upthrust the knee of the kicking leg underneath with the other forehand, then throw him forward with full power !
太极起式 + 下捋——–>  化解 :锁 喉

喉咙被锁,刻不容缓,除了用所谓 “ 童子拜佛” 一招 外,可用太极起式,从外至内,双手握紧对方双臂向下捋,同时快步后退,此时对手必前倾扒地,自然松手!(If your throat is choked as seen in the video, your should release the choking hands as soon as possible by using tai-ji 1st movement to grip the choker`s arms outwardly then retreat as fast as…
