PREFACE [BY XU YUSHENG]

癸亥春、第一次全國武術大會、開於滬上。余應馬君子貞之召、攜體育研究社同人、赴滬參加斯會、志在觀光南省拳術、以擴眼界。詎開會時、運動者類多北方拳術、頗以為緣慳。嗣於該會招待所內、遇許君太和。年近五十、貌恂恂有儒者風。詢知精於「少林拳術」之「仁和派」及二日開會、見其運動矯健、精裡活潑、而態度雍容、不失常態。與糾糾之輩、不可同日而語。余今得見許君、誠不虛此赴滬一行也。近許君擬以平日研究所得、筆之於書、公諸同好、問敍於余、余知其書出版後、當為社會造幸福不淺、而武術界亦從此放一光明矣。余謹拭目待之、是為序。時為、
中華民國十二年秋右燕禹生許靇厚序於北京體育研究社中
In the spring of 1923, the first National Martial Arts Conference was held in Shanghai. I accepted Ma Zizhen’s invitation and brought along some Physical Education Research Society colleagues to this Shanghai meeting, intent on seeing the boxing arts of the southern provinces in order to expand our perspective. But once the conference began, there were so many practitioners of northern styles, the lack of southern was palpable.
     Then in the guesthouse, I met Xu Taihe. At almost fifty, he has the courteous bearing of a Confucian scholar. I asked him about his skills in the Renhe style of Shaolin, then over the course of the two-day conference I saw that his movement was vigorous and his spirit was lively, yet his bearing was dignified and always proper. The gallant youths did not compare to him in the slightest. Now that I have come to know Xu, the Shanghai event was not a waste of time after all.
     Recently he has been putting his time into examining his knowledge and writing it down into a book to share with all those who are interested, and he has asked me to make a preface to it. I am sure that after this book is published it will bring people quite a bit of delight and will also bring a shining light to the martial arts world. This is my sincere hope and with it I preface this book.

十五年五月一日李肖白識於滬上
I met Xu Taihe in the autumn of 1917. I was then teaching at the Zhaimen Classical Learning School, as was Xu. He was born in Beiguo, Jiangyin, which has long had martial arts experts. His skill is such that he can be called a “glory-bringing hero”. He has a deep sense of responsibility and a high moral code. At the time, he had the double posting of vice principal of literary studies and martial arts instructor, rushing back and forth between the two, but he never complained of weariness, just as solid every day throughout the whole year.
     I witnessed his instructing of students as he corrected their postures and explained the functions of the movements with tireless care. From this we can know that he inspires interest in these arts. Boxing skills originally did not have names, so he has made systematic terminology for them. From this we can know how much attention he gives to structuring the exercises for groups of students. At the end of the course, he then pointed out all sorts of differences between these skills and the northern styles of boxing arts. From this we can know that he is able to make connections between different curricula. Because of these things, colleagues have commented that they did not expect a boxing arts master to have such a deep understanding of teaching methods as Xu does.
     He has since continued into a third exalted position, as martial arts instructor at Wujiang High School, where he has made a distinguished name for himself. He has compiled his experience into a book for his students, called Fundamentals of Southern Boxing Arts. After ten years in the making, he has remained unsatisfied, frequently making corrections. A few days ago, he sent me a letter telling me the publication date had been set and asked me to provide a few words to commemorate the event. Because I so respect and admire him, I present this preface for the book so that the world may know of Xu’s character.

PREFACE [BY XU NAN]

余于拳術門外漢也。今夏歸里、季父太和先生、以所著南拳入門稿見示、繪圖立說、頗極詳明。並語余云、拳術本止一派、無所謂南北、特以南人軀幹較小、而手足靈敏、故長于趨避拒守之術、而拳法亦因之稍變、與北人拳法之專當攻勢者不同。又云是册所述、乃南拳基礎工夫、猶學書者之閒架結構、無論學何書體、均當奉為圭臬。至于各路拳法如何、各種兵器用法又如何、則如學書者之有蘇、黃、米、蔡、其宗雖一、而各家又不同、當另為一編、詳述之、故名是書曰南拳入門。予卽書其語、弁諸簡端。
十四年秋七月許枬識棟材
I am ignorant when it comes to boxing arts. When I returned home this summer, uncle Taihe showed me his manuscript for this book. Its drawings and explanations are very clear and complete.
     He told me: “Boxing arts originally come from the same source, neither ‘northern’ nor ‘southern’. Southerners are smaller in stature, with nimble hands and feet, therefore the strength of southern boxing lies in evasive defense. The techniques are also somewhat different because the boxing arts of northerners focus on attack. What is described in the book is the basics of training in southern boxing arts. It is similar to studying calligraphy. When learning how to construct characters, whatever style of calligraphy you learn, they are all based on a standard. As for how to perform the techniques in a boxing set, or the applications of various weapons, it is thus like studying the calligraphy of Su Dongpo, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fu, and Cai Xiang [the four great masters of calligraphy of the Song Dynasty], who despite having the same heritage had each of them a distinct quality. This describes why the book is so titled.”
     I have documented here but the briefest sum of his words.

PREFACE [BY WANG YINGRUO]

拳術之源、由來已久。漢書、齊愍以技擊强、荀子、齊人隆技擊、是則研究技擊之術者、於春秋戰國之季、已大有人在。南北朝時、達摩大師自天竺浮海至中國、應梁武帝之召、赴金陵談講佛理、以不契於武帝、乃渡江往魏、止嵩山少林寺、立見性强身之說。意者、佛家尚虛無寂滅、一切皆空、故皈依者、投心覺海、束意玄門、大都志靡神昏。而達摩見性强身之說、其義蓋以軀殼强、而靈魂易悟、矯正皈依者志靡神昏之習歟。前後左右、凡十八法、少林開宗、卽始於此。其徒覺遠上人、闡悟其義、益以技擊劍術諸學、化為七十二法、白李二氏、復融合舊宗、廣為百七十餘法。嗣後代有傳人、宋時有張三丰者、別立門戶、法主禦敵、非遇困厄則不發、發則所當必靡、以靜致動、後人宗之、謂之內家。而以少林派之專以搏人為主者、謂之外家、由是拳術有內外家之分、卽今之所謂南派北派者是也。三丰之後、有關中人王宗、宗傳溫州陳州同、州同明嘉靖間人、故兩家之傳、盛於浙東。而吾邑亦素以拳勇稱、有明末葉、淸兵南下、所過州縣、望風降服、鋒刃所及、勢如破竹、獨吾邑以彈丸小地、揭竿與抗、至死不屈。淸兵之死傷者、以數萬計。此固為忠義之氣憤發所致、然非拳勇習之有素、不為功。北漍一市集也、僻處邑之東南隅、東鄰琴川、南毗梁溪、四周環水、田野肥沃、民風樸素、農商之暇、其醉心於拳勇者、尤衆。太平軍起、江南半壁、蹂躪殆遍、所至鄕市、殘殺慘酷、漍邑居民、乃募集壯丁、頭纏白布、以示區別、時人謂之白頭、公推智勇兼全者、為首領、點兵發將、儼如軍營。迴龍橋之役、中敵奸計、拳勇之士死亡幾盡、事定、集骨合葬橋畔、至今志士仁人之過其墓者、莫不唏噓長嘆、涕泗隨之、而其子孫尤為之疾首痛心、哀悼不自已云。漍邑拳勇之專盛如此。太和先生漍邑拳勇家中之翹楚也、法宗南拳之仁和派、天性英邁、身軀矯健、有淸之末、國事蜩螗、外侮日甚、先生以為拳術一道、最精最古、乃體育之先河、足以健身强國、故其提倡、不遺餘力。壯年、四出授徒、足跡遍大江南北、英豪之士、趨之若鶩、故不十載、而徒以千計。民國初元、歷任滬上東亞體育、蘇臺中華體育、梁溪輔仁中學等校敎師、曁澄江公共體育場技擊部主任。癸亥春、出席滬上全國武術大會、為南拳仁和派之代表、深得該會同志之敬仰。近復出其所學、筆之於書、並精繪而詳說之、題曰、南拳入門、欲廣同志之學習、振興國民之精神。付梓之先、囑余作拳術源流考、余于拳術門外漢也、愧無以應、幸與先生同處有年、姑擇其茶餘酒後為余所演述者、為之敍言如此。
十五年一月江陰王瑩若識
The origins of boxing arts are very old indeed. It says for example in the [2nd century] Books of Han [chapter 23]: “Min of Qi used martial prowess to win.” And in the [3rd century] Xunzi [chapter 15]: “That man of Qi had glorious martial skill.” This is because the study of martial arts had by the end of the Warring States Era [3rd century BC] already produced a great number of skilled exponents.
     During the Northern & Southern Dynasties [420—589], Master Damo came to China from India. In response to an invitation from Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty [502—577], he headed to Nanjing to discuss Buddhism with him. But he did not keep his appointment with the emperor, instead crossing the river into the territory of Wei and ending up at the Shaolin Temple at Mt. Song, where he immediately saw the need to discuss the strengthening of the body.
     The expectation was that Buddhism emphasizes the state of nothingness that is Nirvana. Everything is but emptiness. Therefore the monks cast their minds into the “ocean of enlightenment”, focused their intention upon the “profound gateway”… and mainly fell asleep. And thus Damo saw the need for strengthening the body. His idea was that if the body was strengthened, then the spirit would more easily awaken, compensating for the monks’ habit of drifting off. Moving forward and back, left and right, by way of eighteen techniques – this was the beginning of the Shaolin tradition.
     Students of it looked back to its founder to understand its meaning. Martial skills and sword methods were added, and the art grew to seventy-two techniques. The two masters Bai and Li then blended these with the original techniques, and the art spread widely as more than a hundred and seventy techniques.
     Later eras had transmitters of the art, such as Zhang Sanfeng of the Song Dynasty, who established his own style focusing on defense, issuing power only in an emergency, but then conclusively. Using stillness to overcome motion, later generations called it the “internal school”. But because Shaolin focuses on attack, it was called the “external school”. This is why boxing arts are divided into internal and external, or what are nowadays called the “northern school” and “southern school”.
     After Zhang Sanfeng there was Wang Zong of Shaanxi. Wang taught Chen Zhoutong of Wen Prefecture, who during the reign of the Ming emperor Jiajing [1521—1566] passed this art down into two lineages [northern and southern], the art then spreading to eastern Zhejiang.
     Thus in our town of Beiguo [being in the path of the eastward spread], fighters have always been praised. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu troops marched south, taking prefectures and counties, watching surrender after surrender, the edges of their weapons mowing down all before them. Our town alone, a tiny plot of land, rebelled and resisted, preferring death over bowing down. The casualties in the Manchu army numbered several tens of thousands.
     But this was actually a release of righteous fury, and not really due to the training of martial artists. Beiguo is a small secluded town in the southeast corner [of Jiangyin], in the vicinity of Qinchuan to the east and Liangxi to the south, surrounded by many bodies of water. Its fields are fertile and its people are simple folk, and many of them are farmers and merchants who spend their spare time obsessed with skillful boxers.
     When the Taiping army rose up [1850s] and occupied the area south of the Yangzte River, they trampled over everything, both countryside and cities, in murderous savagery. The citizens of Beiguo gathered up every able-bodied man and wrapped his head in white cloth to show he was distinct [from both rebel and Qing soldiers]. Contemporaries dubbed them the “old men” [for thereby looking gray-haired], and they were known as being both the wisest and bravest. Troops were mustered and generals assigned just like in a military camp.
     In the Battle of Turning-Dragon Bridge, the cunning of the enemy brought death to almost every boxer there. After this event, their bones were collected into a communal burial on the banks beside the bridge. Nowadays, whenever noble-minded people pass by this grave site, they always heave sighs and weep for them, while the descendants of the boxers remain stern in grief, mourning such selflessness with these words: “This shows the greatness of Beiguo’s boxers.”
     Xu stands out among the boxers of Beiguo, with his Renhe Style southern boxing art. His nature is bold and his body is strong. At the end of the Qing Dynasty [fifteen years before this book], the nation was in political turmoil [“buzzing like cicadas”], foreign aggression increasing by the day. Xu considers boxing arts to be among the purest and most ancient of our traditions, and so he was an early advocate of physical education. Seeing these arts as ideal for building up the body to strengthen the nation, he has been doing his utmost to promote them.
     In the prime of his life, he went from place to place teaching students. His footprints are everywhere in the northern area south of the Yangzte River. This heroic gentleman hurried about like a busy duckling. Therefore after not even ten years, his students numbered a thousand. Since 1912, he has served as an instructor in the Shanghai East Asian Physical Education School, the Sutai Chinese Physical Education School, the Liangxi “Perfection of Virtue” High School, and as head of martial arts curricula at the Chengjiang Public Physical Education Grounds. In the spring of 1923, he attended the Shanghai National Martial Arts Conference, representing Renhe Style Southern Boxing, where he was deeply admired by his comrades.
     Again putting forth his learning, he has now written a book, with drawings and explanations, called Fundamentals of Southern Boxing Arts, wishing to spread his studies to his comrades and stimulate the spirit of our citizens. Before sending it to the printers, he asked me to write a piece about boxing arts history. As I am really a layman when it comes to boxing arts, I shamefully gave no answer. But since I have had the good fortune to know this man for many years, I decided to give my leisure time to elaborating on the subject and thus produce this preface.

AUTHOR’S PREFACE

我國學校體育敎材、向取自國外、近年來始稍有以國技編為敎材者。
考國技一道、原分南北兩派、北人軀幹雄偉、力大勢猛、善于攻、南人身體短小、步履輕便、宜于守、皆各有其特長、未易分軒輊也。
北派拳術如譚腿等、近日訪間多有印行、惟南拳則尚付闕如、予不敏、爰將幼年所習、幷年來在蘇省各校所敎授者、略加編訂、付諸梓人、題曰南拳入門、非敢擅稱著述、聊以供海內同志諸君之參考云耳、
十四年三月澄江許太和識
The physical education instructional methods in our nation’s schools were adopted from abroad, but in recent years we have begun to make use of our martial arts to make teaching materials. Our martial arts methods may be divided into two branches: northern and southern. Northerners have an imposing build and great strength. This branch is excellent for attack. Southerners have a smaller stature and step more nimbly. This branch is ideal for defense. Both have their specialties, but they cannot be easily divided into better or worse.
     Northern boxing arts, such as Tantui, have recently appeared in numerous publications, but southern boxing arts have still been unrepresented. I am not clever, but I have practiced since my youth and have been teaching for the last few years in various schools in Jiangsu. I have compiled a brief volume for publication titled Fundamentals of Southern Boxing Arts. I would not dare to claim this work is definitive, I am simply supplying some reference material for my comrades throughout the nation.

練習拳術的祕訣
THE SECRETS TO PRACTICING BOXING ARTS

凡人演技之後、往往面紅頸赤、氣喘吁吁、汗流浹背其故何在、在乎練習時、不明理氣耳。故理氣實為練習拳術之必要、否則有損無益、茲將理氣之法述下。何謂理氣、卽為呼吸平均而已、譬如每打一拳、氣當輕輕呼出、至唇邊為止、每收一拳、氣當輕由鼻孔吸入、呼氣若干量、吸氣亦宜等量、不可過多、或過少、譬若呼出四兩、而吸入五兩或六兩、則吸氣多于呼氣、久之必成氣臌之疾、呼出五兩或六兩、而吸入四兩、則呼氣多于吸氣、必成咳嗽傷癆。總之、呼吸宜平均、如不平均、為害不淺、面紅頸赤、氣喘汗流、特其小焉者耳、然亦為致害之現象也。再練拳時不可過分用力、而存好勝之心、偶一不愼、頭暈目眩、四肢疲倦、久而久〔習〕之、為害亦不勝言也、習技者愼之。
After demonstrating boxing sets, people are often red-faced, panting for air, and dripping with sweat. This is because they do not understand how to regulate their breath during their practice. Regulating the breath is truly indispensable in practicing boxing arts. Otherwise the practice will be a situation of harms instead benefits. The method of regulating the breath is described below:
     What is meant by “regulating the breath”? Simply that the breath is to be kept even. For example, with each punch, air should be lightly exhaled, creating some pressure on the sides of the lips, and with each withdrawing of the fist, air should be lightly inhaled through the nose. Exhale a certain amount and then the inhale should be the same amount, neither too much nor too little. If you exhale four ounces, then inhale five or six ounces, inhale will exceed exhale, and after a while you will have a distending abdomen. Or if you exhale five or six ounces, then inhale four ounces, exhale will exceed inhale, and you will end up coughing. Breathing should always be even, for if it is not, the harms will not be minor. To be red-faced, panting, and sweating are little things, but they are signs of greater problems.
     Also when practicing, you must not use excessive effort or have a competitive mentality. Once you become careless, you will bring about dizzy spells and fatigued limbs, and as you train over a long period, the harm that is generated will be beyond description.
     Be mindful of these things when practicing boxing arts.

FUNDAMENTALS OF SOUTHERN BOXING ARTS

※基本步法
BASIC STANCES

『求木之長者、必固其根本、欲流之遠者,必浚其泉源、』這是人所共知的兩句、「老生常談、」可是切莫輕視、我們學習拳術的人、却是須得拿來當做「至理名言、」因為練拳術不是兒戲、如其你有决心、當眞要練、那須得把基本築好、然後南拳北派、刀鎗劍戟、方得見你的效果、
下面六種步法和手法,就是基本的動作、諸位要學拳術嗎、請把他先操練起來、
[From Loyal Observations on Government, part 1, chapter 1:] “To seek a tree that will live long, you have to consider the strength of its roots. To find a stream that will flow far, you have to consider the depth of its source.” Anyone can see these are platitudes, but they cannot be disregarded. We who study boxing arts have to consider all famous maxims. Practicing boxing arts is not a child’s game, and so if you are serious about the training, you must build from the basics, and then whether you are training in southern or northern styles, be it saber, spear, sword, or halberd, you will be able to see results. The six kinds of stances below [not including standing at attention], followed by the hand techniques, are basic exercises. If you want to learn boxing arts, please grab a partner and start practicing.

※基本徒手十三節
THIRTEEN BASIC HAND TECHNIQUES

我們處在這二十世紀;生存競爭劇烈時代,萬百事業,不可不有異常的努力和奮鬥,纔能得凑成功•換句話說,卽是你無論為工,為商,為農,為士須得把你的職業,去刻刻改造和建設,方才得有你的生存立脚點•但是要應你這「適者生存」的一條公例•―精神的充足,和身體的健康,却是你應付戰鬥時的•維一要素和工具•
這樣講來,我們在做百事之先,須得問一問:「你的體格好不好」這分明是很要緊的了•在要講到身體好不好的問題,那就不得不歸談到運動方面去了•
運動足以强健我們身體,舒暢我們精神,這是誰都知道的•而運動中,最足以强固我們體魄的•那末要算是拳術了•不過拳術這項運動•說起來,正和藥石一個樣子•他能夠醫人,也能夠害人,如果用了得當,就於身體有莫大的利益,用了不得當,那末適足以損害我們的生命•江湖人的賣技,伶人的敎徒弟•他們就是這樣•―不管敎法的如何•―合於生理與否,―專用强功和盲動,弄到結果十死八九•實是可歎了!
所以拳術一項,總得有名師敎授纔是•―接着人體生理上的發達,選配適宜的敎材,學習初步,先從基本,基本練好,再習他種,就不難連貫而見效果了•諸位要練習拳術嗎?下面十三節,就是基本的功夫,每天早晨照例操練幾下子,不難指日見效•―現在把他寫在下面:有不當處,尚祈海內專家指敎•
We are now in the 20th century, an era of intense struggle for existence, of limitless undertakings, and we have to put forth unusual effort and striving in order to succeed. In other words, no matter whether you are a laborer, merchant, farmer, or scholar, you have to constantly adapt and recreate your profession in order to have a foothold on survival. You have to face up to the general rule of “survival of the fittest”. To that end, an abundance of spirit and the health of the body have to be constantly fought for. They are essential tools.
     To discuss this, the first of all things we have to do is ask: “Is your physique good or is it not?” This distinction is very important. And to discuss the question of health, we then have to talk about exercise. Exercise is capable of strengthening our bodies and easing our spirits. This is something everyone knows. But exercise does more than this. Consider that although boxing arts are a form of exercise, they actually have a medicinal quality.
     And yet while the training can heal people, it can also harm. If we train appropriately, then the body will receive the greatest benefit, but if we train inappropriately, we will injure ourselves. Itinerant professionals, disciples of street performers, train in this way. Regardless of the teaching method, or whether or not it conforms to physiological principles, they rashly force themselves, and eight out of ten end up dead – truly a pity.
     Therefore to learn boxing arts, always obtain instruction from a noteworthy teacher. The physiological development of the human body has to be paired with suitable teaching material. In the beginning of the training, start from basics, and once you are good at the basics, then practice the rest. It will then not be difficult to see consistent results. Can everyone practice boxing arts? The thirteen exercises below are basic skills. Practice them every morning and you will see results in a matter of days. (If any errors are found in what I have written below, I hope the nation’s experts will give me corrections.)

〔保守十二法〕
[TWELVE DEFENSIVE TECHNIQUES]

※十二法的由來
Origin of the Twelve Techniques:

下列的十二法,是鄙人七世祖仁和公,在嵩山少林寺•所得,當初共有十八法,祖傳至今,祗賸十二法、這十二個法子,他的名字叫做抅,紥,豁,帶,騰,擄,搧,劈,躱,避,閃,著•吾們如果要學習拳術,一定要把他做基礎,使得身體活潑,手足敏捷;倘然遇着不測的時候,不至呆若木雞,受他人的苦哩•
The twelve techniques listed below are from the seventh-generation master Renhe of the Shaolin Temple at Mt. Song. Originally there were eighteen techniques, but in the course of passing them down over generations, only twelve now remain. These twelve are called: ARRESTING, TYING UP, SPLITTING, BRINGING ALONG, JUMPING AWAY, CAPTURING, FANNING, CHOPPING, HIDING, DUCKING, FLASHING PALM and BURNING.
     If we want to learn boxing arts, we definitely should work on fundamentals, making our bodies lively, our hands and feet nimble. Then if we find ourselves in an unexpected situation, we will not stiffen up like wooden chickens to have suffering inflicted upon us by others.

抅:
[1] ARRESTING

自前方用力抅進、名曰抅、
From in front of me, I forcefully send forward with an “arresting” action.

紥:
[2] TYING UP

自前方抅進再向側、名曰紥、如下圖、
Going from arresting in front of me, I then send to the side. This is called “tying up”. See the drawing:

%e3%80%8a%e5%8d%97%e6%8b%b3%e5%85%a5%e9%96%80%e3%80%8b-%e8%a8%b1%e5%a4%aa%e5%92%8c-1926-drawing-22

豁:
[3] SPLITTING

兩手下垂、用腕力上舉、成前上屈、掌向耳後、名曰豁、如下圖、
From both hands hanging down, I put strength into my wrists and raise them up, going forward and upward, bending my arms to send my palms behind my ears. This is called “splitting”. See the drawing:

%e3%80%8a%e5%8d%97%e6%8b%b3%e5%85%a5%e9%96%80%e3%80%8b-%e8%a8%b1%e5%a4%aa%e5%92%8c-1926-drawing-23

帶:
[4] BRINGING ALONG

我將要跌倒時用一手、握牢敵人的一拳、名曰帶、如下圖、
When I am in a moment of stumbling away, I use one hand to firmly grasp onto the opponent’s fist. This is called “bringing along”. See the drawing:

%e3%80%8a%e5%8d%97%e6%8b%b3%e5%85%a5%e9%96%80%e3%80%8b-%e8%a8%b1%e5%a4%aa%e5%92%8c-1926-drawing-24

騰:
[5] JUMPING AWAY

鎗刺刀劈、一時不能照架、只得猛力後退、名曰騰、如下圖、
When a spear thrusts or a saber chops, direct blocking in such a moment is not an option and all I have is a fierce retreat. This is called “jumping away”. See the drawing:

%e3%80%8a%e5%8d%97%e6%8b%b3%e5%85%a5%e9%96%80%e3%80%8b-%e8%a8%b1%e5%a4%aa%e5%92%8c-1926-drawing-25

擄:
[6] CAPTURING

敵人向我一拳、我把兩掌擄住他的臂上、向左一逼、他的身體不能支住、就要跌倒、名曰擄、如下圖、
If an opponent punches toward me, I use both palms to capture his arm and force it to the left [or right]. His body will not be able to keep its structure and he will stumble away. This is called “capturing”. See the drawing:

%e3%80%8a%e5%8d%97%e6%8b%b3%e5%85%a5%e9%96%80%e3%80%8b-%e8%a8%b1%e5%a4%aa%e5%92%8c-1926-drawing-26

搧:
[7] FANNING

〔應用的拳法〕
[PRACTICAL BOXING TECHNIQUES]

※用拳指要
Some Fist Essentials:

握拳打出,手掌向下,手背向上,是謂陽拳•旣利打出,又易收進,且便彎曲,以擋敵人•反是謂之陰拳,其弊至大,吾人不可用之•再若出拳時,肩肘腕三力,同時幷用,是謂蠻拳,收進旣遲,又傷臟腑,有害無益,故吾人當純用陽拳,庶免莫大之弊•
When you make a fist with the center of the hand facing downward, back of the hand facing upward, it is an “active punch”. It is good to strike with, easy to withdraw, and also easy to curve into blocking the opponent. The opposite is a “passive punch”. It is too risky, and so we should not use it. When punching out, if strength is put into shoulder, elbow, and wrist equally, it is a “barbarian punch”. It is withdrawn too slowly and brings injury to your organs, harmful rather than helpful. Thus we should only use the “active punch” and avoid these problems.

拳打出時、要用腕力、左足向前、或右足向前、左手向前、或右手向前、均可、破法―用下挑手破之、

I take advantage of this moment to run away.
