太極散手對打

THE TAIJI TWO-PERSON SPARRING SET

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。

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.

Both your hands at the same time go from above to below and from outside inward, hugging together both of A’s arms. Once A’s momentum reverses, both your hands in unison, using the center of the palms, send A away. See drawing 88:

[In this final position B has his left foot forward, which is already half of the first move, STEP FORWARD & PUNCH. All B has to do to switch to A’s role is continue forward with his right foot and punch. A need do no more as a result of being pushed away than step back his left foot, which is the first half of the second move, RAISE THE HAND, and then all he has to do to switch to B’s role is shift his right foot back a half step and ward-off in response to the punch. Reversing the roles thus, the set can recycle indefinitely.]
