"Horse" refers to walking on two legs, and sometimes directly refers to "horse stance just look".
In Nanquan, the hand is called "bridge" and the leg is called "horse". "Combination of waist and horse" means that when exerting force, the strength of the waist should form a joint force with the strength of the legs, thus making a more complete attack on the opponent.
In addition: the so-called integration of waist and horse means that the activities of horse and waist should be coordinated. Take riding a motorcycle as an example. The car is like your horse stance. If you don't lean forward when you start suddenly, you will definitely lean back.
People are standing on the ground, and the efforts to move must be supported by the ground. Imagine the astronauts pushing hard in the cabin, and you will know that the ground is the biggest support we don't care about. The horse responds to the ground, and the waist is the bridge between the horse and the hand, which plays the role of transmitting strength between the hands and feet.
The waist not only has the function of transmitting force, but also has the function of boosting. The twist of the waist can send a strong torque to the shoulder, which is much greater than the force sent by the arm.
Whether attacking or defending, let your body cooperate with your hands. It is difficult to sing with one hand. It is often not enough to attack and defend with both hands, and the body must be driven by a waist horse.
Coordination is the key. Pay close attention to how many groups of muscles you use to complete an action when doing push-ups. Can you feed yourself by chest muscles or triceps alone? No way! To complete this action, not only the chest muscles, triceps and abdominal muscles should exert strength, but even many leg muscles should participate, and the strength should be just right. The same is true of attack and defense, and the hands, waist and horses should also cooperate well.
For example, if you want to make progress and punch your opponent straight, you must rush forward in one position and lean forward at the same time, punching straight from the beginning, and three steps should be carried out at the same time. If you just rush forward and just look at it, your body will fall backwards and you won't use force with a straight fist without a simultaneous response from your waist; If you want to hit your opponent in the face, you should stand firm, fix your bones, support your waist, twist your waist and sweep a punch with your hand. If the strength of your waist is stable, then the strength is only half. The same is true of defense. When the opponent punches straight, you duck and deflect to avoid the opponent's main attack trajectory. At the same time, you put your opponent's fist aside. If the opponent's fist is heavy and you don't lean sideways, your hand can't open the opponent's fist at all, and the result is only a slap.
Generally speaking, the ground is the stress point, the waist horse is the force applicator and force guide, and the hand is the stress point of the hand.
