Sains Tempur

Pasti ramai pencinta seni beladiri adalah peminat filem aksi dan tempur. Kita akan teruja dengan teknik serta ketangkasan didalam sayembara penuh aksi itu.baik di tv, pawagam mahupun secara lansung, degup jantung makin kencang setiap kali aksi aksi hebat di pertontonkan. Tetapi, bagaimana pula jika kita sendiri yang terlibat didalam pertempuran itu? Adakah mampu kita kekalkan ketenangan jiwa didalam situasi getir? Mampukah kita ingat dan praktiskan langkah langkah “maut” yg kita pelajari selama ini dari puluhan malahan ratusan guru?

Pernah anda dengar ungkapan, "biar selalu bertumbuk dari pandai bertumbuk". Amat ringkas dan agak pedih didengar buat “armchair fighters” . Ungkapan inilah yang membezakan "fighter”(petempur) dan “practitioner”(pengamal). Didalam situasi pertempuran, keadaan adalah amat berbeza dalam banyak aspek. Kita huraikan dalam bentuk lebih mudah difahami.

Fizikal
Atau pun jasmani.degupan jantung rehat manusia adalah diantara 80-100 degupan seminit. Didalam situasi tempur, degup jantung mampu mencapai 180 degupan seminit. Ini boleh di samakan dengan enjin kereta anda yang biasanya dalam panduan bandar, RPM hanyalah antara 1500 ke 2200 RPM. Secara mendadak, ia naik mencecah garis merah (redline) 4000 ke 6000 RPM tetapi kenderaan masih bergerak dalam kelajuan jalan bandar. Inilah yang menjadi penghalang (“barrier”) sebenar seorang petempur. Kemampuan mengawal biologi diri adalah satu kemahiran yang amat seni. Antara teknik yang boleh digunakan adalah melalui pernafasan terkawal, focus minda (meditasi),hypnosis diri (self) dan lain lain lagi.

Berfikir dibawah tekanan serta mengawal degup jantung boleh dipelajari dari banyak perguruan beladiri di dunia. Tetapi kebanyakkan teknik di selindungi dengan amalan dan ritual tertentu. Sudah pasti kenyataan ini bukanlah mensekularkan ilmu, tetapi menyingkap kesan fizikal sesuatu teknik.perlu saya ingatkan, tajuk artikel ini adalah sains pertempuran.

Hormon
Selain mengenal organ dan tindak balasnya ketika bertempur, perlu juga di fahamkan tentang hormon dan tindakbalasnya. Rembesan adrenalin yang meningkatkan degup jantung turut bertindak sebagai pencetus (boost) kepada otot dan anggota sendi. Selain itu juga, badan akan bertindak balas dengan merembeskan satu lagi hormon yg dipanggil dopamin yang menjadi pelali semulajadi kepada sebarang isyarat kesakitan kepada otak. Rembesan hormon yg tak terkawal boleh menyebabkan panik. Akal fikiran boleh mengalami kejutan dan mampu menyebabkan kekeliruan, pengsan (blackout) dan jika anda mempunyai masalah jantung,ia boleh mengakibatkan kematian.

Emosi
Emosi amat penting kerana ia berkait rapat dengan organ dalaman dan rembesan hormon. Ada petempur yang merasakan asyik ataupun ketagihan bertempur kerana mereka melahirkan emosi tertentu dan badan merembesan hormon yang memberi kepuasan. Mereka inilah yang selalu kita label sebagai kaki gaduh, kaki pukul dan pencinta keganasan.

Didalam keadaan pertempuran terkawal, tiada emosi (kerisauan) takut kehilangan nyawa. Tetapi lebih kepada emosi bertanding atau pun mahu kemenangan. Ianya berbeza dengan pertempuran sebenar. Petempur yang arif perlu menggunakan emosi seperti takut, marah dan sadis secara terkawal dan berhati hati. Ini kerana emosi boleh menjejaskan keputusan yang dibuat. Teknik mengawal emosi banyak di terapkan didalam mantra, doa dan zikir. Dalam pertempuran ataupun pergaduhan, emosi marah adalah sesuatu yg normal. Walaubagaimanapun, pertimbangan dan kepekaan terhadap persekitaran harus kekal stabil. Emosi mampu memberi fokus dan kelebihan jika dapat dikawal dengan baik.

Pernafasan dan sistem kardiovaskular
Bagi penulis, inilah kunci kepada mencipta situasi ideal dalam pertempuran. Hampir 20 peratus oksigen yang dicernakan oleh paru paru dalam setiap hela nafas adalah bagi keperluan otak. Jika seorang petempur tak dapat bernafas dengan baik,maka akan mudah hilang segala kemampuan berfikir. Otak hanya 2 peratus dr jisim badan tetapi ia mempunyai keutamaan dalam keperluan oksigen. Maksudnya, jika kuota oksigen kepada otak tidak dipenuhi, sistem badan yg lain akan di hentikan terlebih dahulu. Meskipun kebanyakkan teknik beladiri menerapkan muscle memory dan tindakan bawah sedar, ini semua masih memerlukan proses isyarat dari otak.

Dari pengalaman, kesalahan yang paling kerap dilakukan oleh petempur adalah menahan nafas semasa melakukan serangan. Biarpun ini merupakan tindakan spontan, ia memberi banyak kesan negatif kepada sistem badan. Oksigen yg tidak mencukupi bukan sahaja melemahkan otak, tetapi juga otot. Jika durasi pertempuran melebihi 2 minit, ia ibarat anda menahan nafas selama 2 minit dan melakukan kerja berat serentak. Anda boleh cuba sendiri dalam keadaan terkawal dan ia masih sukar.

Antara teknik yg boleh digunakan adalah mengatur pernafasan bersama setiap serangan. Hembusan nafas dibuat secara "pressurise released" melalui mulut. Dan jika mampu melalui hidung. Tapi bukan serentak kedua duanya. Ini memberi peluang paru paru menyerap oksigen dengan lebih banyak kerana lepasan nafas yang separa tersekat. Aturan pernafasan perlu stabil.
Anda mungkin pernah mendengar kemampuan pengamal yoga memperlahankan degup jantung separas hibernasi. Ini merupakan teknik yang amat membahaya dan paling sukar. Teknik yang hampir kepada itu dapat digunakan dalam situasi bertempur. Dengan mengawal degupan jantung, tekanan darah ke otak dapat dikurangkan dan fikiran akan lebih jelas. Proses akal lebih terkawal dan fokus dapat ditingkatkan.

Fokus
Seperti mana seorang penembak jitu, fokus meningkatkan ketepatan dan kejituan gerakkan. "Tunnel vision" adalah hasil maksimum fokus pandangan/penglihatan. Kemampuan meramal gerakan pula adalah hasil fokus minda. Pasti anda pernah mendengar pengalaman petempur yg merasakan gerakan musuh seperti gerak perlahan (slow motion) semasa bertempur. Ini kerana proses otak mencapai tahap pra kognitif. Haluan serangan musuh dapat di proses lebih pantas dari gerakkan sebenar. Ini kerana neuron pada sinaps otak mencetus pada kelajuan 360 km/j.antara 100 ke 120 meter sesaat.

Bertempur secara lansung merupakan satu pengalaman yg menarik. Elemen bahaya dan keselamatan diri menjadikan ianya satu perkara serius. Meskipun begitu, latihan yg berterusan melalui sesi sparring memberi banyak faedah dalam mengadaptasikan minda dan badan bagi situasi sebenar. Meskipun ada beladiri yg memandang sparring atau pertandingan berbentuk olahraga sesuatu yg tidak "real", kita perlu lihat dalam konteks semasa dimana kita hidup didalam negara yg ada undang undang serta sistem kepolisian yg baik. Berlatihlah dengan selamat dan terapkanlah semangat kesukanan yg baik. Sesungguhnya , kita tidak merancang untuk berada dalam situasi tempur, tetapi kita harus mempunyai persediaan yg sempurna.

Penulis bukan seorang saintis maka jika ada maklumat yg lebih tepat berdasarkan kajian sains,maka itu adalah lebih tepat.

Pakar Tempur Tanpa Senjata BerLian

Semalam, tanggal 1hb. April, 2011, Gayang Lima susurgalur Pak Atan menerima keahlian baru dari 12 orang anggota tentera dari kem Sg. Besi, Kuala Lumpur. Gelanggang G5 tersebut bertempat di sebuah dewan orangramai di Bandar Tun Razak. Sebagai anggota tentera yang mahir dalam Tempur Tanpa Senjata (TTS) mereka amat mudah untuk mempelajari dan mempraktikkan Lian 1 yang diajar. Walaupun pada mulanya kekok dengan olahan 'perisai' dan 'penumbuk' serta langkah dalam lian, secara umum mereka menunjukkan 'stance' atau cara berdiri dan langkah yang mantap.

Saya juga dibantu oleh Saudara Akmal dan Saudara Jamali yang bertanggungjawab menarik minat para anggota tersebut untuk mempelajari Gayang Lima. Harapan saya agar lebih ramai lagi yang akan menyertai mereka pada masa akan datang termasuklah orang orang awam yang bermastautin disekitar kawasan tersebut.

Kepada pahlawan pahlawan negara diatas, saya ucapkan tahniah dan cintailah Lian.

4 Basic Taiji Quan Skills

(untuk terjemahan ke bahasa melayu sila klik )


There are four basic Taiji Quan push hands and fighting skills - Zhan, Nian, Lian, and Sui. They are also called four basic Nei Jin - internal trained force. Without use these skills, one is not doing Taiji Quan. So that people usually say that these four skills are the foundation of all Taiji Quan techniques. They should be included in everywhere. They are the most important characteristics of Taiji Quan. They show the biggest difference between Taiji Quan and other martial arts style. It is why people always use them to express Taiji Quan. They are used as the brief definition of Taiji Quan.

Zhi Ji Zhi Bi - "know yourself and your opponent"

To understand these four skills is the first step to reach high level Taiji Quan skills. Pushing hands practice is only way to learn these skills. Sensitivity is the basis of these skills because all of them requires people to know their opponent's reaction and from the reaction to decide the right way of their response. This idea is sometime started as Zhi Ji Zhi Bi - "know yourself and your opponent". Without this, one cannot do Taiji Quan correctly. These four skills embody some basic Taiji Quan principles, typically refereed to as Jie Li Da Li - "borrow force from your opponent and use his force to beat him back"; Yi Jing Zhi Dong - "using still to control
motion"; Hou Fa Xian Zhi - "launching later but reaching first"; and She Ji Cong Ren - "forget yourself and obey (follow, yield) your opponent".

1. Zhan

The original meaning of Zhan is to adhere or stick something up. In Taiji Quan practice it means to get your opponent to follow you a while under your control. It looks as if your opponent is struck to your hand (or the other part of your body). The technical term of this is “stick a person up” (It does not mean to grip or hold him up!). If you can do this well continually, your opponent appears to follow you and jump as if you have bounced him. This works because you have shaken and moved his root and cause him to lose his balance and he will try to use you to regain it. When the opponent has lost his balance and tries to use you to keep his balance, he must
follow you to move. While most of the time Zhan is used to get your opponent to follow you in an upward direction, it can be in any direction. When using Zhan, you do not use your force to move your opponent, instead of he is moved by his own force but by your control. So it is called "borrow force from your opponent and use his force to beat him back". To do Zhan well, you must have really good basic kungfu, like sensitivity and integration, and also understand the basic principles very well.
Thus the level of your Taiji Quan skill always can be judged from this skill.

Jie Li Da Li - "borrow force from your opponent and use his force to beat him back"

The key point of making Zhan well is to make your opponent lose his balance. Basically there are two kind of methods for doing Zhan. With the first method, you can use some skill to lead or seduce your opponent to loss his balance. It is called "lead coming in to fall down into a empty place". It will cause that he wants to use something to maintain his balance. At this time, give the part of your body (most time just use the touching point between you and the opponent) to him and then he will be controlled by you. The more balance he lose, the more force he will be use for keeping balance, so the more available force you can borrow from him and the easier you can do Zhan. Most time, it is difficult to seduce the opponent to lose his balance directly, so that the second method is used more often. With this method the first thing you need to do is to unsettle your opponent, sometimes called giving him some trouble first. This means that you should use some skills to make him feel uncomfortable, as if lose his balance, and must adjust his body. When he feels in the trouble or off-balanced, his reaction offers you a chance to do Zhan.

Choosing the right time and direction is important to do Zhan well. For example, if you can make your opponent feel compressed down really, you will probably have a good chance to use Zhan on him. Pay attention to his reaction, if you feel his legs push his body up, just raise up your hand and you can make him jump up by his own force. When he jumps, you can use some other technique to beat him. This will save a lot of energy and is thus real Taiji Quan skill. For timing, if your hands raise too early, there is no enough reaction force from the opponent; if your hands raise too late, the opponent just get time to regain his balance and you lose your chance. In
both cases your Zhan will not work. The best time to use Zhan is when his reaction force almost at its maximum and the next change has not happened yet. This is the time when it is most difficult for him to make a change. For direction, you should follow the direction of the opponent's reaction force. Although it is the best direction, it may be too difficult. For additional safety, you can use the technique of changing his direction slightly. For example move your hand in an arc. A little bit of change can confuse your opponent and thus be very helpful. The other important technique is to keep a little bit force in the reverse direction of the opponent's reaction. It is called "Yin and Yang supplement each other". In above example, when you raise your hand up, at the same time keep a little bit force to push down, it will make the opponent feel your downward push still there so that he will keep his reaction to against you. If your opponent's reaction force is not enough, you can use one hand to Zhan him and your other hand to help, that is push him according to the direction of his reaction. But this help should be light, smooth, soft, and coordinate with the other hand. It is a common technique which require a good integration of your body. If your opponent does not really know Taiji Quan, that is if his sensitivity is slow and his changes are clear and straight, Zhan can be done easy and you can have incredible results. But if your opponent has Taiji Quan skills, using Zhan will be difficult. The interesting thing is that usually the result is not good if you use your mind too much to do this skill. You should keep in natural way and do it naturally. In fact, most times Zhan is not used big and clearly. It is always mixed with or included in some other skills.

2. Nian

The original meaning of Nian is stick, adhere or paste to. In Taiji Quan practice it means to keep contact your opponent, and through this contact to make him feel uncomfortable. Keep this contact and never let him go away, like something adheres on his body. Be careful, it does not mean to use big force to hold your opponent. It should be light touching. When you use this skill, you should try to use the minimum force. We always say to unsettle your opponent a little bit each time but continually, until the opponent is in big trouble. Do not let him feel too much is important.

In pushing hands, when you touch your opponent, you should unsettle him. Do not use too much force, just let him feel that he must do something to solve the problem. Then he will give you a reaction. From his reaction, you can determine how you should respond. If you cannot make a chance, keep doing Nian, that means follow him, keep touching and giving him a little bit more trouble, and wait for him to give you more reaction. So Nian is also used to sound the opponent out. That means to give him questions and await his answers. The questions should hit his weakness point continually. If you have question for him one by one and he cannot give you the right answer on time, you are controlling him. The important things are to never let the opponent get away and to sense the right time and direction to make your next move. Be careful, do not use extra force, because if you use too much force, you will be difficult to relax, and it will cause your sensitivity to be sluggish.
Then you will be slow to change, and even maybe fall into your opponent's trap. So do not worry how big movement your opponent does, just to keep relax and touch him with a little bit change. Do not worry how fast movement he does, the interesting thing is just keep quite, relax, and touch him, and then you can get your chance.
This basic Taiji Quan idea is called "using still to control motion".

Yi Jing Zhi Dong - "using still to control motion"

3. Lian

The original meaning of Lian is continue or link. There are two meanings of Lian in Taiji Quan practice. They are continually follow and change. The first one means that you maintain continually contact by following your opponent and never let him leaving. Most time when people say Lian, they mean this. Basically Taiji Quan skills depend on your sensitivity. If you lose contact with your opponent (not just means physical, but mind and Shen), you cannot feel him any more, so that you cannot apply your Taiji Quan skills.

With Lian you just maintain continually contact with your opponent while waiting for a chance to use other skills. Lian is always included in other skills. It is also used to link changes, that means it like a transfer skill. If you can keep Lian, that means you can feel your opponent all time so that you can know him always. It is why sometimes we think it is first thing you should do in pushing hands or fighting. The basic Taiji Quan idea, "launching later but reaching (or getting control) first", is base on Lian skill. Also if you do some skills but failed, you can use Lian to get other chance. For example, when you use Nian to your opponent but he gets away. At that
time you should use Lian to keep contact him and to try another chance. If your opponent gives you some trouble, Lian can also help you to adjust your position and go back safe and comfortable situation. For example, when your opponent uses Zhan to destroy your balance, you should use Lian to follow him and adjust yourself, then wait a chance to beat him back. This is most common way to use Lian.

Hou Fa Xian Zhi - "launching later but reaching (or getting control) first"

The other way of Lian means continually change as you are following, that means each of your techniques are joined together like the links in a chain, never breaking your mind and movements, and never giving your opponent any chance to change. Link all changes one by one continually, smoothly, and never stop. The most common change of movement during Lian is to change the direction of your force and the most common way to change your force is to make your movements circular which keeps their direction continuously changing smoothly.

4. Sui

The original meaning of Sui is follow or obey. In Taiji Quan practice that means to follow your opponent's movement or mind. According to Taiji Quan principle, you should avoid to against the opponent by your force directly. You should make the opponent feel that he can get you but do not really let him get you. You should make him use some techniques that cannot really work on your body. If you can keep relax, you can do Sui well and from Sui you can feel and know your opponent well.

Sui requires that you really relax your body. Follow the direction and timing of your opponent' s force, whatever he does, do not let his force work on your body. It does not mean to use your force against his force. It means he cannot find a point to use his force on your body. Sui also does not mean leave and just run away. It means to keep touch with your opponent, never lose touch points. You should let your opponent feel he will have a chance to get you so that he will keep doing something.

She Ji Cong Ren - "forget yourself and obey (follow, yield) your opponent"

There is a famous sentence about Sui. It said: "forget yourself and obey (follow, yield) your opponent". It is a basic Taiji Quan idea. People always say if you cannot do this, you cannot do real Taiji Quan skills. But many misunderstanding also come from this point. The most common misunderstanding is to think Sui just means following or obey the opponent. To do Sui in this way will cause you become weak finally because anyone's movements have a limit, just do to follow in this way, finally you will in a very bad situation. This wrong way even causes some other misunderstanding or wrong impression, for example Taiji is too soft and cannot be used to
fight, or Sui is wrong idea that means real Taiji Quan skills can never do it. In fact a real Sui skill should follow your opponent first, maybe just in very short time, that means whatever he wants to do, just follow him and never against him. From this following you can get time to feel your opponent and then you should try to find a chance to make change, be careful for this change the smaller the better, usually to lead and seduce him to wrong way. It just like another classical sentence said: "to follow your opponent is for finally let him to follow you". A real Sui skill must include this idea. In fact Sui should be used in the beginning of almost every Taiji Quan
skill, especially to defense some hard attacks, but cannot be used too much, that means never use it in all of the way, else Sui is going to weak. How much you should to do is really depend on the situation. The key point of Sui is how to transfer it to other skill. Unfortunately, many people overlook this point.

5. Main Difference

The meanings of Zhan, Nian, Lian, and Sui are similar at some points, or we can say there are some parts mixing or overlap. So that for understanding them clearly, we need pay more attention to what is difference between them. The main difference between Zhan and Nian is that with Zhan you should make your opponent to stick to you by himself, but with Nian you should stick to your opponent, let him feel bad but can never leave you off. The main difference between Nian and Lian is that with Nian you should always follow your opponent and at the same time make trouble for him, but with Lian you just follow your opponent and do not try to unsettle him. The main difference between Lian and Sui is that with Lian your following like to chasing your opponent, you should always keep touch him and never let he go away. With
Sui your following like go away (does not mean losing contact) from your opponent, although he can always touch you, he can never really get you. The main difference between Sui and Zhan is that with Sui you should follow your opponent's active action, but with Zhan you should follow your opponent's reaction which is his passive
action.

6. Combination

Generally, Zhan and Nian are skills which are to find a chance to give your opponent trouble. Lian and Sui are skills which are to solve the problem that your opponent gives to you and
wait a chance to beat him back. Although they are different skills, in fact, they cannot be really used separately. They are always mixed and used together. For example, most times you
should include Nian in your Zhan. Usually before you do Zhan, you should unsettle your opponent first. If your Zhan does not work well, you should use Nian immediately. At that time
Nian will help you to adjust yourself and to make another chance to continue your Zhan. You always need to include Lian in your Nian also. When you do Nian, if your opponent can do
Sui well, you will difficult to get him. So your Nian will not work well, you should use Lian to keep touching him and wait another chance to do Nian again. You should do Lian and Sui together. When you do Lian, your opponent may get a chance to beat you back. So you should do Sui to follow him. You should do Sui and Nian together. If you only do Sui without do Nian at the same time, it is so easy to make you become too weak. To do Nian with Sui will help you a lot. Sometimes people say to do these four skills successively, that is to do Zhan, if it does not work well, then to do Nian; if Nian does not work well, then to do Lian; if Lian does not work well, then to do Sui. But, in fact, they can never be really separated.

Sometimes, different part of your body does different skills. For example it is very common that one side the touch point in you body does Sui and at the same time another part of your body does Nian. The good practitioner should have all these four skills (or Jin) when he touches his opponent. All other Taiji skills will include some of them. So that they are the basic skills of all Taiji techniques. For example, when you do Yin - lure or seduce, you should use Sui and Lian in the beginning. When you do Fa - release force, you should do Nian and Zhan
first. So that people said they are the foundation of all Taiji Quan skills.

7. Common Mistakes

Ding Bian Diu Kang

When we do these four basic skills, there are four kinds of likely mistakes, Ding, Bian, Diu, and Kang. Ding and Kang will happen when you do something too much, usually called Guo. Bian and Dui will happen when you do something not enough, usually called Buji. For the beginners, to do Gou is very common mistake. Usually it means too hard or tight. For the advance students, to do Buji is very common mistake. Usually it means too weak or loose.

When you start to understand Taiji Quan but your skills are not good enough, these mistakes happen in almost everywhere. The reason is that you cannot relax well and your sensitivity is not good enough. If you cannot relax well, you cannot follow your opponent smoothly. If your sensitivity is not good enough, you will always lose change or use your mind too much. To understand and avoid these common mistakes is very important for improving your skills.

The most common mistake in Zhan application is usually Ding - to go against on touching point. It means that your force is in the reverse direction of your opponent's force too much. In Taiji Quan, you should avoid to use your force resisting your opponent's force directly. But in Zhan if the timing and direction of your force are wrong, the part of your force will be used to against to the opponent's force, so that you cannot follow your opponent well. In this case he can even feel and get you. The reason is your sensitivity may be not good enough or you do not understand Taiji Quan principles well. If you cannot find the right timing and direction from your opponent's
reaction, you cannot really borrow his force, and worse thing is that your force will help him to regain his balance. At that time, your opponent's reaction force can even give you trouble easily.

The most common mistake in Nian application is usually Bian - weak or flat. It means that you do not do Nian enough so that you do not get enough information from your opponent and you will not know which way you should go. When Bian happens, your opponent can go away from your control easily. In Nian, if you cannot find the weak point from your opponent and make him fall into bad position little by little, that means you cannot make trouble to him continually, it is said your hand too weak. So you cannot control your opponent finally.

The most common mistake in Lian application is usually Diu - lose the touching point. It means that your opponent can get away or you cannot follow him any more. When Diu happens, you lose contact and cannot follow him continually. So you cannot feel him well and you cannot find a chance to control him. To do Lian, if you cannot relax well, you will be easy to lose the touching point and let your opponent get away. In this case you lose contact so that you cannot use your sensitivity.

The most common mistake in Sui application is usually Kang - resist in the touching point. It means that you cannot follow your opponent so that you and your opponent are in resisting case. In this case, who is stronger who will have more chance to win. It is not follow Taiji Quan principle. In Sui, if you resist and cannot follow your opponent, you cannot get a chance to adjust yourself without to use big force. So your opponent can get you easily if he is stronger, faster, or just in a better position than you.

Usually, many people just like simply to use Ding and Diu to explain these general mistakes in their Taiji Quan practice. Here Ding (here it is same as Guo) means too hard, too much, too far, resist, or excessive. When you want to control your opponent but do too much, you make this mistake. Diu (here it is same as Buji) means too weak, no enough, short, lose, leave, or deficiency. When you want to relax but do too much, you make this mistake. In fact, Ding (or Guo) and Diu (or Buji) are the human's nature actions. They just like two extreme points of human's behave. They are used in most martial arts skills. When you attack with a big force, it is Ding. When you dodge or move away, it is Dui. They are the right way there. But Taiji Quan skill require everything you do must be exactly right according to the principle, like just enough and never waste your energy, and the most efficiency way. So that to use these two points will become a wrong way in Taiji Quan. For avoiding do them, you should get a special training. In fact almost all training methods of Taiji Quan are designed to avoid them. In the nature behave, you can only jump from one point to the other, that means from the view of Taiji Quan you are either too much (too hard) or no enough (too weak). Taiji Quan training will change this natural action. From the training, you will study how to balance your skill and close to the center point that means to do neither Ding (or Guo) nor Diu (or Buji). We can simply use a figure to
show this situation.

Ding (or Guo) Neither Ding (or Guo) nor Diu (or Buji) Diu (or Buji)

This changing is the most important and difficult training in Taiji Quan practice. Only when one can do this well, one can be consider really understand Taiji Quan. It is the foundation of all Taiji Quan skills. So that it is as a standard rule for measuring the level of people’s Taiji Quan skill.

The last sentence of Da Shou Ge - Fighting Song, one of the oldest and most famous Taiji Quan classical poem, said: "Zhan Nian Lian Sui Bu Diu Ding" that means you should always do Zhan, Nian, Lian and Sui and never do Diu and Ding (the common way of Bu Diu Ding is called Bu Diu and Bu Ding – not Diu and not Ding). It is one of the most important key points in your Taiji Quan practice.

Zhan Nian Lian Sui Bu Diu Ding - "do Zhan, Nian, Lian and Sui and never do Diu and Ding"

Sejarah Beladiri Malaysia

Pada tanggal 29hb Januari 2011, telah termeterai 'memorandum of understanding (MOU)' diantara MAGMA (Malaysia Martial Arts Grandmaster Association) atau Persatuan Mahaguru Seni Beladiri Malaysia dengan OIUCM (Open International University for Complimentary Medicines) untuk memartabatkan seni silat kita sebagai wadah ilmu yang mendapat pengiktirafan hingga ke peringkat yang tertinggi. Acara itu juga dihadiri oleh lima wakil dari Persatuan Pencak Silat Singapura

Butir butir lanjut tentang perjanjian itu layak diwartakan sendiri oleh Dr. Guru Azlan Ghanie sebagai insan yang bertungkus lumus menjadikan semua ini satu kenyataan dan sejarah untuk negara kita yang tercinta sebagai Pusat Beladiri Dunia.

Pendek kata, anak anak kita bolehlah belajar silat hingga ke menara gading.

Cenderahati

Semalam 22hb Februari, 2011 saya telah menerima kunjungan beberapa individu dari gelanggang Din Misai yg diketuai oleh beliau sendiri. Beberapa hari sebelum itu beliau telah hubungi saya menyatakan hasrat untuk menyerahkan cenderahati, "Sepatutnya nak ziarah awal tahun terbantut disebabkan kes kena gempak hari tu", ujar beliau dalam sms.

Saya juga ada mengingatkan diri dan anak anak buah bahwa politik pun ada dalam buah pukul dan kita kena pandai menyesuaikan keadaan. Cikgu Din kata dia buta IT namun kita nampak juga nama beliau 'dijajakan' sebagai 'kambing hitam' dalam pergeseran antara orang orang buah pukul ni (bukan G5 Pak Atan namun ada tempias). Benda ni semua dah jadi fitnahlah. Pada saya, orang yang berani meletak komen komen macam jaguh ni hendaklah bertanggungjawab mengenalkan identiti diri dia. Yang banyak kita lihat hanya 'batu api' yang pengecut.

Bagi mereka yang dah belajar dan 'terror' pulak kenalah pandai beradab dalam beradat. Saya teringat Cikgu Hashim Man cerita dan diakui Cikgu Maideen, bahwa seorang guru buah pukul (tentulah bukan Pak Atan) cakap dia orang berdua belajar dengannya, padahal tak pun. Saya tanya pula apa tindakan mereka berdua, Cikgu Hashim kata biarlah dia nak cakap apa dia suka. Takde pun dia rentan tak tentu pasal. Pada pendapat saya, sebagai orang melayu beragama islam sekurangnya kita ajak bersemuka secara baik dan selidik dulu. Yang 'Si Kitol' penyampai maklumat ni pun, selalunya ada hasad dalam hati. Kita bersandarkan syariat Nabi SAW. Wallahua'lam.

Kepada anak anak buah, saya bangga dengan pencapaian kalian. Muhasabah diri dan jaga hati. Kita belajar dari pengalaman. Nak orang hormat kita, beri penghormatan pada orang. Ada pepatah omputih (omputih lagi) “Hatred is a boomerang which is sure to hit you harder than the one at whom you throw it.”...maksudnya, kebencian itu ibarat 'boomerang' yang pasti menghentam kita dengan lebih kuat dari yang terkena balingannya.

Terima kasih Cikgu Din Misai dan juga atas inisiatif anak buah beliau Saudara Juhan.

Maulidur Rasul

Raja Buah Pukul

(Tulisan dalam blog ini saya olah semula dari yang asal atas kesedaran saya tentang kekerdilan saya sebagai hamba Allah)

Siapa Raja Buah Pukul?

Yang pasti pada saya, Raja Buah Pukul bukan seorang individu dari selatan, utara, timur atau barat yang mengaku atau diakui oleh orang lain berdasarkan andaian mereka. Hak masing masing. Orang yang didakwa sebagai Raja Kungfu pun ditakdirkan mati juga macam kita semua nanti. Muhammad Ali pula digelar 'The greatest boxer of all time'. Legasi yang mereka tinggalkan amat besar dan bermunafaat kepada kita.

Susugalur Gayang Lima atau Buah Pukul Mersing dari Saidina Samon AlRadzi hingga ke sekarang ni telah melahirkan ribuan atau jutaan pengamal. Ada yang hanya belajar dan amal sendiri dan ramai juga yang di takdir menjadi pewaris untuk mengajar dan perkembangkan ilmu yang baik untuk dunia dan akhirat ini. Begitu juga guru guru silat dan pejuang pejuang Islam yang berkorban jiwa raga demi agama tercinta yang meninggalkan nama yang harum serta ilmu yang tak ternilai buat pedoman kita semua. Semoga Allah redha kepada mereka sekalian. Ameen.

Semasa Cikgu Hashim Man dari Kluang datang melawat gelanggang G5 di Taman Permata KL, saya ada katakan pada anak anak buah saya "pada hemat saya Cikgu Hashim ni layak digelar raja buah pukul". Luahan itu berdasarkan pengalaman hidupnya yang banyak terlibat dalam pergaduhan ala 'streetfight' dan juga tentang cerita beliau yang banyak saya dengar dari pihak yang lain. Bila saya menulis tentang kehadirannya digelanggang latihan kami, saya hanya menyebut bahwa beliau seorang ahli buah pukul "yang tersohor pada pandangan saya".

Jadi siapa Raja Buah Pukul?

Permainan buah pukul ni banyak alirannya seperti Pukulan Buah Melaka, Sendeng, Kuntao, Tomoi dan lain lain. Untuk memberi penilaian yang patut dan adil tentang Raja Buah Pukul ini, saya hanya akan menyentuh tentangnya dalam konteks Gayang Lima sahaja. Ilmu Allah ni luas dan saya hanya belajar buah pukul dari Ayahanda Pak Atan seorang sahaja. Alhamdulillah, beliau memang 'Grandmaster of buah pukul'.

Semasa latihan mingguan seperti biasa, ada juga saya berbincang secara spontan tentang isu ini dengan anak anak buah saya. Dalam perbincangan tersebut banyak la juga yang saya gosipkan (teruk betul). Namun dalam perbincangan tersebut saya dapat jawapan dan ia sebenarnya peringatan dari saudara Irwan dimana saya setuju dengannya 100% bahwa...

Raja Buah Pukul ialah LIAN.

Lian itu Pukul, Pukul itu Lian dan Lian itulah Guru Kamu...

Lian itu Raja Buah Pukul.


p/s Selamat Pengantin Baru kepada Saudara Irwan dan Permaisuri tercinta . Semoga kekal bahgia hingga keSyurga. Ameen Ya Robbal 'Alamin. (gambar 2)


King of ‘Buah Pukul’

King of ‘Buah Pukul’ a.k.a King of Fist, King Combat, King of Fighters, King of Martial Arts, etc

(I was ‘recalled’ to rewrite the blogpost as a humble person who serve the Al-Mighty God)

Who is the King of ‘Buah Pukul’?

To my mind, the King of ‘Buah Pukul’ is not an individual who comes from the south, north, east or western region claiming or is recognized by others based on their assumptions. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The King of Kung-Fu also dies like all of us will. Muhammad Ali is known as 'The greatest boxer of all time' and surely, the legacies they leave behind are so beneficial to us.

Gayang Lima a.k.a Buah Pukul Mersing linkage which originated from Saidina Samaon Al-Radzi has until now produced thousands or even millions of practitioners. There were practitioners who learned for self fulfillment and also many of them fatefully become Gurus. They constantly teached and expanded this martial art for the sake of this world and the hereafter. Silat masters and muslim fighters sacrificed their blood and soul in the name of our beloved religion. Everyone had left a good name and invaluable knowledge as a guidance to us all. May Allah’s blessings be upon them, Ameen.


During Cikgu Hashim Man from Kluang’s visit to our G5 training court in Taman Permata, Kuala Lumpur, I said to my students, "In my opinion, Cikgu Hashim is the King of ‘Buah Pukul’." The claim was based on his life’s experiences having been involved in countless streetfights and also from stories that I have heard from many others. When I wrote about him the last time, I only said that he is a “renowned exponent of ‘buah pukul’.”

So who is the King of ‘Buah Pukul’?

The fighting arts of ‘Buah Pukul’ in Malaysia have several genres such as Pukulan Buah Melaka, Sendeng, Kuntao, Tomoi and others. To provide a proper and fair assessment to the King of ‘Buah Pukul’, I will only touch on it in the context of Gayang Lima alone. Allah’s knowledge is bountiful and unlimited and I only learned ‘G5 buah pukul’ from Ayahanda Pak Atan. Alhamdulillah, he is truly ‘GrandMaster of Buah Pukul'.


During last week’s training, I have talked spontaneously about this issue with my students. In the discussion ‘and also gossips’, I found out that the answer, which is also a reminder from saudara Irwan where I agree 100% that ...

The King of ‘Buah Pukul’ is LIAN.

Lian is Combat, Combat is Lian, and the Lian is your Guru...

Lian is The King of ‘Buah Pukul’.


p / s Congratulations to Irwan and his beloved queen on their recent marriage. May you live happily together foreverafter, Ameen Ya Robbal 'Alamin. (picture 2)

Pada 2hb Jun, 2009 kami menerima kunjungan mesra para sahabat dari Pertubuhan Gerak Silat Lian Malaysia, Yip Kin Wing Chun dan Gayang Lima aliran Hj Raja Ali.

Pada tahun yang sama juga seorang ahli beladiri dari Norway, saudara Dr Jimmy Boharfa juga datang membuat kajian serta mempelajari lian dan teknik teknik G5 di studio Semerah, Shah Alam. Beliau juga pengamal Kuntao ShanTung dan Silat Serak.

Salam Silaturrahim kepada semua.

Pendekar dan Srikandi SSAJ Kluang

Saya terpanggil juga untuk muatnaikkan gambar para pendekar dan srikandi dari Sekolah Sultan Abdul Jalil di Kluang. Dengarnya mereka dibimbing oleh seorang ustaz dan juga otai otai G5 di sana. Mereka juga banyak membuat persembahan lian disekitar negeri Johor dan bernaung dengan PESAKA. Tahniah kepada kalian. Majujaya Gayang Lima.

Lawatan Cikgu Hashim Man

Pada hari Selasa 18hb Januari, 2011 gelanggang Gayang Lima Taman Permata menerima kunjungan Cikgu Hashim Othman, 63 tahun, seorang pengamal Lian Gayang Lima yang tersohor pada pandangan saya. Beliau berasal dari Segamat dan menetap lama di Kluang. Ceritanya pernah saya paparkan dalam blog G5 ini dimana video majlis khatam Lian 4 anak anak buahnya juga dipaparkan.

Pada pagi selasa tu beliau hubungi saya untuk berjumpa kerana kebetulan beliau berada di KL. Saya tanya berapa lama beliau akan berada disini? "Malam ni aku baliklah", katanya. Saya tanya pukul berapa, beliau kata dalam pukul 7. Saya kata "Abang Hashim baliklah esok sebab malam ni saya 'ada gelanggang' (mengajar). Anak anak buah saya pun memang nak sangat jumpa dengan Abang Hashim". Saya setuju untuk berjumpa dengan beliau petang tu dimana kami sempat bertemu dan bercerita di Wangsa Maju. Seorang anak dan tiga orang anak anak buah beliau juga ada. Saya bersyukur kerana memang ingin sangat beliau melawat dan kongsi ilmu buah pukulnya dengan kami.

Pada malam itu setelah saya perkenalkan beliau kepada anak anak buah, beliau menyuarakan pandangan peribadi beliau tentang lian buah pukul. Beliau memang cakap 'straight forward' dan takde selindung. Nasihat beliau, kalau bercakap biar benar, mana yang boleh. "Bertumbuk ni tak sampai 2 saat", sebab tu kita kena pegang lian betul betul", ujar beliau yang mengaku amat sayangkan lian dan hendak tengok permainan ini seragam dan berkesan. Ada juga beliau tunjukkan cara cara 'bertumbuk' dan serba sedikit pengalaman beliau juga diceritakan sepanjang malam itu (digelanggang dan direstoran mamak lepas latihan).

Pada akhir sesi latihan malam itu, kami bergambar kenangan (akan diuploadkan nanti) dengan beliau dimana sebuah 'tshirt' Gayang Lima juga dihadiahkan sebagai tanda kenangan dan terima kasih kepada beliau.

Suka saya nasihatkan kepada anak anak buah, pergilah jumpa dengan otai otai buah pukul ni agar banyak lagi ilmu buah pukul yang dapat ditimba dari mereka. Tak perlu dengan kehadiran saya. Mesti ada inisiatif. Kata orang puteh 'Initiative is doing the right thing without being told'.

Cikgu Hashim Man's visit


On Tuesday 18 January, 2011, Gayang Lima, Taman Permata received a visit from Cikgu Hashim Othman, 63, a practitioner Lian ‘Gayang Lima’ who is renowned in ‘Buah Pukul’. He hails from Segamat and now resides in Kluang, Johor. I have posted about him in this blog where the ‘G5 Khatam Lian 4’ video ceremony of his students were also displayed.

(Khatam = grading)

On Tuesday morning, Cikgu Hashim contacted me to meet up because he had arrived in KL that morning. I asked him how long he would be here and he replied, “I am going back tonight”. I asked “what time?” He said, at around 7pm, and I said “you must go back tomorrow Abang Hashim because tonight I will be training with my students. They really want to meet you”. He tentatively agreed before we met up in the afternoon and talked over some drinks somewhere in Wangsa Maju, KL. His son and three of his students were also present. Thankfully, he was willing to pay us a visit and share his ‘Buah Pukul’ knowledge and experiences.

On that night, after being introduced to my students, he voiced his personal views about the Gayang Lima. His words were straight forward and blunt. His advice was, “If you talk, speak the truth. Fighting lasts less than two seconds, that's why we have to hold on to Lian steadfastly ", he said and admitted that he holds dearly to Lian. He also wants to see Lian being performed in uniformity and effectively by all of us. He then showed us some techniques of fighting and also shared his fighting experiences (at the training venue and ‘mamak’ restaurant later).

At the end of the training session that night, we took some photos with him for the album. A Gayang Lima T-Shirt were also presented as a token of remembrance and gratitude to him.

I would like to encourage my students to seek the knowledge of ‘Buah Pukul’ wherever they can to learn and understand more about the art and it's secret. My presence along is unnecessary. We have our own initiatives. As the saying goes, ‘Initiative is doing the right thing without
being told '.
