On January 30, the circle of wushu assembly was held at Jinyun Mountain, Chongqing.  150 martial masters from eight martial factions gathered to demonstrate their wushu skills.  The eight factions included Bagua, Xingyi, Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, etc.

The competition started at 10 am that day. Wu Chengzhong, vice executive chairman of Beibei District Chinese Wushu Association, performed Xingyi Quan (Xingyi Boxing) and wowed the audience.  Wu learnt martial arts since 8-year-old and he was now 61-year-old.  His martial arts master was well-known wushu master Zhu Guofu, who won numerous awards in all kind of wushu competitions in the country.

The youngest participant was 8-year-old Li Ziyang.  His Hongmen boxing also won the applause from the audience.  It was later learnt that Li Ziyang started practising martial arts three years ago.

The oldest participant was 72-year-old granny, Xu Xianyu.  She was one of the top students of famous martial master, ‘Hero of Yantze River’ Luu Zijian.  Her three-section cudgel performance amazed the audience as well.  According to Xu, her mother passed away three days after she was born.  Her father was KMT’s officer.  He went everywhere fighting in the war and could not take care of her.  She was then adopted by her aunty who was good at martial arts.  Xu later acknowledged her aunty as her master.  Later in her life, her dad met with Luu Zijian and asked Luu to look for his daughter.    Luu Zijian looked for Xu everywhere at late 70s.  Luu finally found Xu at Daping area and taught her Bagua Zhang.  Currently Xu practice martial arts everyday at the zoo nearby.

The term “Monkey Steals The Peach” is widely used in Chinese community to describe a type of martial arts that rips off the balls.  This martial arts skill is described clearly in the ninja image above (taken from PhotoBasement).

MONKEY STEALS THE PEACH

This is the classical name for the upward groin slap.  Drop to the right knee, swinging the arms like windmills to distract the enemy and deflect any defence he may offer.  The left arm ends in joden, the rising forearm block, protecting the head as you drop low and slide forward without stepping.  The right arm swings up and back, circling from the shoulder.  Turn the palm up as it swings between the enemy’s feet to stun him.

APPLICATION of Monkey Steals The Peach

Whip the arms as described and strike the enemy’s groin with the open palm, fingers bent at first joint in a Monkey Paw or Tiger Claw fist.  The impact will lift the enemy off the ground.  Those skilled in chi kung can direct energy up the Ch’ueng Mo channel of the body and stop the heart.  Followers of the Iron Hand styles immediately clench their fists rightly, with a crushing grip, and jerk the hand sharply back to the near hip, effectively ripping away the genitals.  Massive blood loss causes death.

Although this is the easiest martial arts skill to perform, it only works on MEN.  This technique could not be applied on any female.
