China's martial arts styles are diverse, and almost all of them include jumping techniques, with Taijiquan, which emphasizes 'long high jump far', sometimes also teaches 'it'
From the history of martial arts development, jumping techniques are long-standing:
Tang Dynasty martial arts''xiang'Song Dynasty martial arts''to stand up while grounded'Ming Dynasty martial arts''legs can fly'Qing Dynasty martial arts''dry land pulls scallions'etc.,
all indicate that jumping has always been an important part of martial arts. Many martial artists have extraordinary abilities in the use of inner energy and leg elasticity. Traditional basic skills such as leg binding with a sandbag and jumping into pits are effective training methods. Persistent and diligent practice can achieve a state of lightness and silent landing when performing.
Jumping movements are one of the main movements in martial arts. In modern martial arts competitions, their content and quantity are clearly defined.For example:Cha Quan's '' (Tengkong Jiao - leaping feet), Hua Quan's '' (Tengkong Bai Lian - leaping feet), Shaolin Quan's '' (Xuanfeng Jiao - whirlwind feet), etc., all belong to jumping movements. When appearing in set routines, they are intense and memorable.
Today, jumping movements are also the masterpieces of athletes on the competition field:
'' (Xuanfeng Jiao Jie Pi You - whirlwind feet followed by a slash), '' (Xuanzi Xia Yun Dao - whirlwind feet under clouds), '' (Tiaoqi Zisuan Ci Jian - leap up and turn to stab sword), '' (Beiqi Xuanfeng Jiao - back gun whirlwind feet), etc. In the martial arts competition rules, there are four categories with a total of sixteen 'jumping movements'.This is the complete quantity of jumping movements. It also stipulates that self-selected long fist arrangements must include three different categories of 'jumping movements'. If not, points will be deducted. With the development of the times, the quantity and content of 'jumping' and 'jumping movements' will also develop and change; conceptually, they have different meanings. In practice, using methods such as stationary jumping, somersault jumping, jumping over, jumping rope, and weighted squatting, combined with repeated training of techniques such as Tengkong Jiao and Xuanfeng Jiao, and persistent training, can effectively enhance jumping ability and improve the quality of martial arts jumping movements.
