Wushu Hub Complusory Routine Intro

六路弹腿

弹腿是昆仑大师晚年所传之流系，因习练者多为清真教，故又称教门弹腿。当时为学者速成，在练法上稍有变动属中盘腿法。之所以取弹字，一是区别于潭腿练法，二是取其发腿弹射之意。弹腿流传较广，而今又发展为不尽相同的几种套路

六路弹腿是在十路弹腿的基础上简化而成的，意在使初习者习练。
现在流传的潭腿、弹腿都是以腿功见长，结合手形、手法、步型、步法等组成的徒手套路，其一路一法，左右对称，拳势古朴，功架完整，刚劲有力，节奏明快，意气相合，精神饱满，不失为一种打基础，长功夫的优秀传统功法。

新加坡综合拳

在1968年新加坡国术总会成立,为了要促进武术界的和谐. 并在之后指示创编一套属于新加坡的拳术.这一套属于新加坡人的套路,在我国九大门派的前辈的努力下,终于诞生了!(五枚派, 少林派, 五祖派, 螳螂拳, 北少林, 洪拳, 蔡李佛, 客家拳, 太祖拳).

形意五行拳

归纳成：从上向下的为劈劲；从下向斜上方的为钻劲；向前直打的为崩劲；拨开敌手用另一只手直击敌人的为炮劲；用横力制敌的为横劲。并以金、木、水、火、土相生相克为理论基础，更以肺、肾、肝、心、脾等人体内脏相联系。形成了现在的劈，崩，钻，炮，横的五行拳。形意拳除了五行拳外，还以龙、虎、猴、马、蛇、鼍、鸡、鹞、燕、鹰、熊取其各动物之特长，编成十二形拳。

八极小架

八极小架是八极拳的基本功。八极小架虽然动作少（全套仅二十几个动作），但却包括了八极拳中的各种打法、缠法、撞法、顶法和各种步法，具有较高的技击价值。通过练习八极小架可以逐渐掌握八极拳的发力特点和技击特色。真正认识八极拳的力如何发源于脚，主宰于腰，达于手指。从而把握拳术中发力的真谛。

Competitive & Traditional Wushu

Competitive Wushu

近年来，国内外武术运动蓬勃发展，各种形式的竞赛活动日益频繁，迫切需要规范化的竞赛套路。为此，中国武术研究院、中国武术协会组织了国内著名的教练员、太极拳名家和部分优秀运动员、编制了长拳、南拳、太极拳、太极剑、刀术、剑术、棍术、枪术、南刀、南棍等竞赛套路。竞赛套路保留了有关拳术、器械的风格特点，反映了当今武术的技术水平。不仅内容充实、动作规范、结构严谨、布局合理，而且动作数量、组别和时间等均符合竞赛规则的要求。它们是国内外武术比赛，也是1990年亚运会武术比赛的内容。

Traditional Wushu

形意拳与八卦掌，太极拳三门拳种被称为内家拳，是近百年来最盛行的三种拳种。

形意拳 - 是内家拳，它首先看重于内功意念的练习，故它具有理明，易悟，易成的特点。
形意拳的内功练习与一般的静功是相似的，基本要求也是一样的，它也是从站桩开始。形意拳的桩是三体式，在三体式中要求做到外三合和内三合。在外形姿势上要体现出十二形来，要有熊顶，龙颈，猴眼，乌嘴，燕膀，鹰瓜，蛇腰，虎胯，鸡腿，马足，龟尾，蛤蟆肚之势。

八卦掌 - 集中国传统儒道，托意于易经卦象，融诸多武学精华于一体。形成了一套极富特色的完整武术拳种体系，从而享誉武林。它以走为法，以掌为用，集八掌法，八拳法，八摔法，八擒拿法，八腿法，八点打法，八步身法于一身，八八六十四法，变化无穷。体用中避正就斜，以斜打正，顺势巧打，指上打下，声东击西，连环相生，虚实莫测，柔若绵里藏针，刚则冷弹炸脆，既是强身健体的好拳种，又是防身技击的好功法。

陈式太极拳 - 起源于河南温县陈家沟，由明末清初的陈氏第九世陈王廷在祖传拳械的基础上，精益求精地创造了太极五套拳、五套锤、十三势、炮锤，以及枪、刀、剑、棍、铜、鞭等，尤其独特的还有双人推手和双人粘枪，形成了完善的流派体系。在300多年的演变发展过程 中，从陈式太极拳又派生出了杨、吴、武、孙、赵堡等各式太极拳。在陈式太极拳体系当中，被后人称为“小架”的，是最以传统的一种练习形式。

查拳 - 是武术长拳项目中的一个重要拳种，它由弹(腿)、查、滑、炮、洪等所组成，具有舒展大方、造型优美、快速多变、节奏鲜明、布局合理、结构严谨、刚柔互济、攻守清晰等特点。查拳历史悠久，它经过数代拳师的传承发展，内容日益精细丰富，结构风格更加完善突出，有极广泛的群众基础(特别是在回民中间)，深受广大武术爱好者的喜爱。由于历代拳师的精心修炼，总结创新，已形成各具特色的张式、杨式、李式以及独具一格的常式等诸多流派。各式均风格特点鲜明，并有各自的杰出代表人物。各式虽然风格不同，但拳理、拳法是一致的。

翻子拳 - 是中华武术宝库中的一个历史悠久的优秀拳种，在明代名“八闪翻”，后俗称“翻子拳”，“翻子”。 翻子拳以直拳摆拳为主，并以腰力贯穿其身法，使两拳快似闪电，密如疾雨，使人防不胜防，非常实用，被视为中国武林中的精华。翻子拳的劲道，强调脆、快、硬、弹。翻子拳与戳脚、劈挂相配为伍，因此也追求吞吐发力、辘轳反扯和搅靠劈重的劲道。

劈挂拳 - 是典型的长击远打类传统拳种之一，是中国传统武术百花园中的一朵奇葩，盛名久远 。古称披挂拳，亦名抹面拳，因多用掌，故而又称劈挂掌，擅长中，远距离克敌制胜，讲究放 长击远，它将中国武术“一寸长、一长强”的技击理论发挥得淋漓尽致，对于技击空间的控制 ，讲究远则长击，近则抽打，可收可放，可长可短，劈挂拳发展至今，技术体系完善，内容丰 富多彩，拳械全面，不愧为中华武术的瑰宝。

螳螂拳 - 是著名的传统武术流派，象形拳的一种。它是山东四大名拳之一。 七星螳螂拳相传为姜化龙所传。"七星螳螂与梅花螳螂内容与技击特点大同小异，其练功方法，以七星步而得名，又说是七星拳而得名。七星拳强调七星式"，实为七个部位，即头、肩、肘、拳、膝、胯、脚作为种技击手段。有七星拳、崩步、拦截、梅花辘、梅花拳、白猿偷桃、白猿出洞、白猿攀枝、扑蝉、八肘、摘要等30余套。其劲法偏刚，亦有柔劲，是刚柔相济的劲法。有长手有短手，其长可放长击远．其短有肩肘胯膝。身法是腰为轴，以胯为核心。拳法之主要特点：朴实、明快而有力，不招不打，招之即打，连招带打。真所谓"不招不架就是一下，招招架架一连十下"。此是螳螂拳拳法、技击上总的要求。

Introduction of Wushu Hub

简介：
“武轩”本以“武宣“为名，其意“宣扬武术”。 但欲宣扬武术必要先有其所，故名“武轩”。在武轩所习武术有各门各派，传统有太极，八卦，形意，八极等。学员们也会有机会学习自选和竞赛套路， 初学者更是可以接触到各种兵器。所以“武轩”—一个练武的地方—更是显出本团体对各门各派的接受，只希望推广武术。

Introduction

The Wushu Hub is an organization that hopes to promote the Chinese martial art in Singapore. Our students are trained in competitive wushu and often win medals when they represent the organization to compete in the Singapore National Wushu Competition. Besides being updated with the competitive wushu, we place high emphasis on the traditional style of wushu (i.e. taichi, bagua, xinyi, baiji, etc) too. Regardless of the Sect of the Wushu, Wushu Hub wishes to be the place where we’ll gather the different style of wushu and pass on this tradition.
