Insights on Learning Boxing

Li Fucheng

Here I share my insights on learning boxing as follows: There is a time to learn boxing, but there is persistence in learning boxing, it is fun to learn boxing, there are ways to learn boxing, and there are gains from learning boxing.

There is a time to learn boxing. With the opening of the new zero-basis class following the trial class, it also marks that I have been learning boxing under Teacher Yang Songquan for nearly four years. At present, I practice boxing for an hour every day. I just feel that the time is limited and I can’t practice more. I also feel that my master is not by my side and I can’t give more guidance.

There is perseverance in learning martial arts. It’s easy to be interested in Tai Chi, but not easy to stick to it. Once one persists, it’s hard to give up, because one truly feels the changes and joy brought by practicing boxing. This is the principle for all things.

Learning boxing is interesting. Leaving aside other things, martial arts are a very enjoyable form of social interaction. When a few close friends get together, they talk about martial arts in a few words, and show off their moves and postures. Isn’t that delightful?

There is a way to learn boxing. There is one class every weekend, lasting for one and a half hours. For the rest of the time, I mainly rely on my own persistent practice. If one can persist for a full year during the initial learning stage, it is considered that one has passed a stage that is very easy to give up. During the class, first, the disciples of Teacher Yang Songquan lead the students to review the learned movements. Second, Teacher Yang personally teaches the new movements. Third, Teacher Yang imparts boxing and mental techniques and interacts with the students. Because all the learned movements need to be reviewed in class every week, a solid foundation can be laid.

Learning boxing is rewarding. First, after getting into the habit of practicing boxing, I have never felt physically exhausted. Even when I am sleepy, I feel relaxed all over. Second, wherever you go, you can have a round of boxing as long as there is a place for the ox to lie down, without being restricted by the environment or weather. Thirdly, there is a group of Tai Chi enthusiasts here. They come together every week. They learn the art together and each has their own Tai Chi world. When they come, they have thoughts; when they leave, they have no worries. Over the past four years, they rarely know each other’s names or affiliations. Maybe it’s just a kind of friendship as simple as water, a kind of gentleman’s friendship, very relaxing.

Note: This article was written in March 2019. The new Tai Chi class of Teacher Yang Songquan is about to start. With this article, I would like to recommend the traditional health-preserving Tai Chi – Chenjiagou Tai Chi to all my friends.
