Many people learn martial arts for self-defense. But no matter what the purpose is, in order to learn martial arts well, it is necessary to first understand the basic skills of martial arts. If the basic skills are not solid, it is easy to encounter setbacks in the learning process, or even fail. So, what are the basic skills of martial arts? Let's take a look at the detailed introduction below.

What are the basic skills of martial arts?

Since we are talking about martial arts, we must first consider the issue of basic skills. Without basic skills, how can we learn martial arts well? Therefore, first we must know what the basic skills of martial arts include, so that we can learn the basic skills well and learn the contents of the second and third steps. Now we will introduce the basic skills of martial arts to you.

How to train the basic skills of martial arts?

When children first start to learn martial arts, they should focus on cultivating their interest and doing leg stretching to improve the toughness of their legs and waist. From 6 to 10 years old, the focus is on basic training: that is, the basic footwork, which can be practiced through the Five-Step Boxing, in-depth consolidation practice, training of "Gongli Boxing" and "Tan Legs", and intensified training to make the five basic footwork of Bow, Horse, Pu, Xu and Xia solid and steady. It will be of great help whether you are engaged in competitive martial arts or traditional martial arts in the future, and the moves are interesting to watch.

On the basis of further consolidating the step type, it is necessary to train the leg techniques, including straight swinging leg techniques, flexion and extension leg techniques, sweeping and turning leg techniques, jumping and technical movements.

The training of basic skills is very hard, as all things are difficult at the beginning. Stretching the legs will scare many people away, because it is new at first but the legs hurt, and the boring stretching causes pain in the ligaments, so some people cannot bear the hardship and have to escape. Only if you can withstand the leg stretching test can you continue training. This is the first step in a long march.

Stretching the legs is very important. Only by stretching the legs well can the ligaments be relaxed and various leg techniques can be used freely. Stretching the legs is a long-term training program that is not only needed by beginners, but also by those who have won martial arts titles.

Walking legs, that is, kicking legs, is one of the basic skills of martial arts. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced person, you must persist in practicing. Because the legs are the support of the whole body, the foundation must be solid. If the foundation is unstable and the center of gravity is unstable, then the martial arts cannot be practiced well. Walking has a great effect. First of all, it stretches the legs, makes the tendons and bones soft, and relaxes the muscles, which can reduce the damage to the ligaments and joints. Secondly, good leg skills are conducive to performing technical movements. If you have good leg skills, you will be good in martial arts. Leg skills are the basis of performance techniques. Third, good leg skills are helpful in improving boxing skills. Most martial arts techniques are based on the lower body. Insisting on walking and strengthening leg strength and flexibility is the key to mastering difficult movements and an important means to improve martial arts skills. From a martial arts perspective, only when the leg joints are highly flexible can various leg techniques be used swiftly and accurately.

We should pay attention to the training methods and arrange the time reasonably. We can arrange at least three times a week (regardless of morning or evening), with each training session lasting about 2 hours. Basic skills training must be carried out under the guidance of a coach. Please note that you must practice leg stretching every day, and you can do it at home. The loose ligaments allow for a wider kicking range and increase the flexibility for performing various martial arts movements.

We also need to enhance our physical fitness and strength. While training the basic skills of martial arts, we need to practice strength and energy, combining hardness and flexibility, such as: horse stance, running, handstands, push-ups, etc.

It can be seen that the basic skills of martial arts include a lot. If you want to learn martial arts well, you have to practice the basic skills well. In addition, martial artists should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest. They must not practice martial arts excessively, causing lumbar muscle strain or other diseases. Of course, the nutrition of martial artists must also be guaranteed. If they are malnourished and unhealthy, it is obviously difficult to practice martial arts well.
