john, just trust you to ask the really difficult stuff...mang...
beginning of the 5-word song:
心意本无法 / 有法也虚无 / 虚无得自然.... 得法可应变 / 有术方为奇....
xinyi actually has no fixed regulation
if there is any it is "empty"
possessing "empty" one can get "natural"...
having fixed regulations you can counter changes
having techniques, only then can it be called unendingly resourceful
in lhbf context,
xin yi - it is a subject that is not recorded in the Classics, taught only by mouth. therefore there is no regulation to speak of; its not formally recognised by scholars. so we do not speak of fixed regulations. buddhist say "i have the heart (xin) of everything; and also the regulation of everything"
fa (fixed regulation) - fixed pattern of thing (ie physics). these fixed patterns while have its ranges; but we are not to be limited by them. one of the verses 视不能为能 - "see the impossible as possible.
shu (techniques) - means bodily practice. make internal jing and qi can move body fluidly, must not have stoppages and hesitation.... your heart and hands must forget each other, the opponent cannot know what you will do... cannot be predicted.
so fa and shu is actually one , cannot be separated...
all the movement changes, the essence is not in the strokes but in the changes in the practitioners jing and shen.... so do not talk about theory too much... (meaning yours truly, hee)
above is master chen yiren's words, also there is no mention of spiral in the 5-word song. i think too much instruction make you lose "natural". wxz wrote in one of his books something like: heh my fist way actually have no strokes, but new student, like little monks asking the abbot, what is the method constantly. so i tell them some strokes to calm them like little monks. but there are really no strokes.....as long as my stroke can hit you, it is good stroke, do not ask me where this stroke come from.
friends, i say this not to belittle you or make lhbf sound more mysterious or something - if you think you fully understand... pls don't.
Chen XiYi, Li DongFeng, WuYiHui, Chen Yiren... are not typically the type you get in the middle of the bell curve...
i'm still a student, i am not sure i fully understand, so if the person doing the explaining is not confident...pls understand and bear with me; any lhbf seniors with more accurate understand is most welcome to correct my mistakes ... i think for our form of art, it is better to do it person to person, can touch, like feeling/reading pulse. no amount of explaining can replace that.
also in the vid mention by master kam..
a) 9 joint force - shoulder, elbow, wrist, pelvic(kua), knee, spine, waist, 2 legs
b) the stroke with one arm raised and other hand below elbow in demo - 顺水推舟 "pushing boat with the flow of water"
cheers, S.
