Features: The Great Way Fist (Dachengquan) is a modern traditional martial arts system established by the renowned martial arts scholar Master Wang Xiangzhai in the 1940s, combining the strengths of various traditional Chinese martial arts. It has since evolved into a fresh system of fist fighting characterized by remarkable health benefits and strong practical combat applicability, gaining fame both at home and abroad. This book primarily compiles and synthesizes the core fist fighting principles (xinfas) personally taught by Master Wang Xiangzhai and his disciples, integrating the oral and secret teachings of fist fighting techniques and theories with practical applications to form key, highly effective core principles. These principles are expressed in written form. This book is the first to comprehensively and systematically summarize the essence of the personally taught fist fighting principles in the transmission of the Great Way Fist, breaking the long-standing barrier of "transmitting techniques without principles, teaching skills without timing" that has hindered the inheritance of fist fighting principles. From the perspective of seeking deeper practical applications in fist fighting research, it analyzes the essence and roots of the principles and mechanisms of fist fighting techniques, with the main focus on teaching the combination of fist fighting theories and principles. This aims to address the difficulty of learning the profound principles through oral and secret teachings, thereby significantly improving the understanding and practical application of the essence of specific fist fighting techniques. This book reveals and publishes the practical and highly effective essence of the personally taught Great Way Fist, combining it with theories and principles, and conducts a thorough and in-depth analysis of the oral and secret teachings from the perspective of fist fighting principles. It is particularly instructive in the integration of specific theories and practical effects, greatly benefiting the understanding and improvement of fist fighting research. Its comprehensiveness, rationality, guidance, practicality, and unprecedented nature compensate for the long-standing problems of the rare transmission and difficulty in finding fist fighting principles. The publication of this book reflects decades of Master He Zhenwei's dedication to studying the Great Way Fist, further filling and perfecting Master Wang Xiangzhai's fist fighting system. It has been praised and recognized by Master Wang Xiangzhai's family, many living disciples and predecessors, and numerous colleagues. The content of the fist fighting principles in this book is profound, rich, and highly practical, possessing great value in both fist fighting and scientific, practical applications, making it a classic work in the field. Additionally, this book is the first to publish rare photographs and technique illustrations of Master Wang Xiangzhai's disciples, such as Master Zhou Ziyang, and other predecessors, which hold extremely high collectible and academic value.
