 PORF JOU – MIZONG QUAN WITH APPLICATIONS (LOST TRACK BOXING)
Mizong Quan Lost Track Boxing
101minutes 13 seconds, One DVD MP4, English subtitles When you perform real Mi Zong your body motions might very well exhibit movements that look like classical, recognizable Kung Fu. At the same time you might be doing, from the inside, patterns, thoughts and internal controls that are completely strange and unfamiliar. In China Mi Zong (Lost track or aka Yen Qing) is a big style that also has a number of marriages with other styles such as Lou Han. It has many forms, a carload of weapons, a hefty collection of self-defense movements including Chin Na. The story has it that a member of the Liang Shan (Water Margin) fighters took up residence in Shaolin and further developed what was then an unbeatable style. Skip ahead a thousand or so years and the top boxer at the Jing Wu Association was Yuan Hun Jia, a tremendously strong martial artist who was probably poisoned by Japanese agents. What do you see when looking at a MiZong form? First the angles are slightly off, some leaning forward, some slight over stretching, some unexpected hand positions. Second the footwork is chancy with steps unlike what you would expect next. Crossovers, cats and sweep stances are intermixed like a bag of jelly beans. The same is true of stomping actions to augment power. At no time do they become frozen in a pattern. Another difference from most Chinese forms is that the movements have few repeats or refrains. Movements are dropped as though a pack of cards in just about any order. MiZong emphasizes “structure” training, as just about any martial art does. But, due to the flexibility of sequence and direction, the Qigong and postural aspects of the training become very important.
