– 連環錦套 LINKED BROCADE BOXING 順德黃漢勛編著　演式 text & performance by Huang Hanxun [Wong Honfan] of Shunde 黃子英攝影 1972•1•30 photographed by Huang Ziying on Jan 30, 1972 [translation by Paul Brennan, Jan, 2023] – 引言 FOREWORD 近人著書攻擊苦習拳套之非，務以三五月間即能站上比武臺上耀武揚威，此乃急功近利之論調耳！學拳與讀書雖然文武殊途，其實一理也。譬喻讀書是升官發財作為最終目標，則不必讀至大學或以上之學位，但求如何逢迎，如何作冒險之企圖便可得達所願矣。學拳與苦練拳套，有人指出每套拳之間是許多重式，是多餘者，其一年級與二年級所讀之書內文又何嘗不是許多重字與重文？習拳初期務必多認識招式，變化，順逆，左右，前後俱有不同之組成，同時更可刺激練習情緒，使習者時常有新的變換，新的認識，又何嘗不可以增益於學者？迨至認識旣深時則歸納其精要，或喜愛某種方式而向此邁進自可得達理想目標矣。凢事見仁見智實不必攻許某種方式也。 黃漢勛於螳螂樓　一九七二年一月卄四 Recent authors have … Continue reading →
