瑞典博士爱上凌氏水浪拳

正如Veronica小记里所写的“缘分”，让一个外国人因小凌老师起的“随波逐流”的拳名而爱上了凌氏水浪拳。这位来上海生活六年多的瑞典PHD（哲学博士）在小凌老师的激励下，用2个小时，学完了水浪拳“密州出猎”，独立打完全套演示版。

今年5月份，凌氏拳艺虹桥培训点的训练场地变更到西郊宾馆附近绿地，Veronica几次经过看我们打拳、训练。一次交谈后，我鼓励Veronica尝试一下，她当即跟我学习了水浪拳起势一小段，十分喜欢。课后，我向她介绍了我们的小凌老师老师和凌氏团队，介绍了凌氏拳艺传承的两种拳种。Veronica欣喜地告诉我，之前看我们打拳，今天又跟我打了一小段水浪拳，觉得水浪拳的招式很丰富，看我演示的“随波逐流”这记拳，又结合拳名的讲解，感觉水浪拳非常的形象，非常有意思，她很想学习全套。

5月24日晨，国燕师姐来虹桥点教“旧雨新知”集团的严总水浪拳健椎版，我便开始教Veronica水浪拳。我从起势教到停车问路之后的转丹田，给Veronica讲了小凌老师老师传给我们的“从三遍”教学模式，以及“停车问路”的拳名含义和技击用法。

有意思的是，Veronica关注点更多的在“气”，问了我好几个关于呼吸、气感的问题，也可能与她之前练过太极、站桩有关。这让我想到刚进门时的东雷。我照小凌老师当时指点东雷时的告诉她，“学拳先学手动脚动、把手脚到对了，再逐步到肘、膝，再到肩、胯，三做到外三合，手与足合、肘与膝合、肩与胯合，然后到内三合，心与意合、意与气合、气与劲合。那是自然而然达到的。一上来就去想气、想呼吸，全都是妄想。你走路需要想呼吸吗？做事的时候需要想呼吸吗？那呼吸在不在呢？”Veronica听后，惊讶而欣喜地说：“我第一次听老师这样讲的，我感觉这样教学非常的科学，非常的专业。”而另我高兴得是，Veronica至此再也没有问过我这种的问题，我想她是听懂了。后来，我才知道Veronica是瑞典的PHD，哲学博士，难怪有这样的领悟力，能够及时地拨乱反正。

下课前，我给Veronica讲了三点：一是尚武崇德，课前课后师生之间行鞠躬礼。二是文武双修，每节课后要求学员写小记，可以把自己本节课学到的内容、自己的练拳体会、碰到的问题记录下来。三是请她把我们之间做过的一些拳名、简介上的英文翻译提一些建议。不得不说，Veronica虽然是外国人，但这三点她都做得非常好，不折不扣，尤其是每次学完全都及时交小记，这点上我也应当向她学习。

5月25日，周日虹桥点训练，Veronica正式开始学凌氏拳艺。我和晓为师弟轮流教她水浪拳和十大形的踩步，Veronica学得不亦乐乎。

5月26日、5月30日、6月1日、6月6日、6月8日，我分5次，每次一小时，教了Veronica水浪拳的第一节从起势到鸿雁双飞。这是我第一次系统地教外国人水浪拳，上课全程用英语交流。总结一下教学的感受：

首先是教练的演示，拳的动作要做清楚，教的时候要学会分解，最好能配合1、2、3的口令，把复杂的动作、长的动作通过拆分变简单、变短。比如在教Veronica顺水推舟时，分了四个动作，配上简单的口令。感觉和教小孩子差不多。

英语上，根据动作要求把身体各部位的单词用上去，比如手、脚、肩、胯、手心、手背、手指、脚趾、脚跟等，加强动作的准确性和记忆力。

然后就是小凌老师一直给我们强调的三点：方向（八个方位）、重心（前、后、中间、丁八步的46或37等）、起伏（高、低、同一高度、后脚蹬直，或不能伸直等）要交待清楚。

由于我严格按照小凌老师制定的教学方法和教学模式去教，Veronica认真纯粹地按教练教得去学，我们克服了交流上第二外语的不便，以及Veronica因练三年其他拳而形成的一些不当姿势，比较顺利地完成了水浪拳第一节到鸿雁双飞。

Veronica告之6月中旬回瑞典，8月初返上海。我原本计划后面几节课帮她复习巩固好方便她回去自行练习，然而，小凌老师的未雨绸缪和深谋远虑，又一次在关键节点帮我们指明方向。

小凌老师在看了Veronica初学的水浪拳视频后，说：“是习内家拳的料，要是好好打造的话，会有很好造就的。”接着，老师做出重要指示，命我在Veronica回瑞典前教会她水浪拳“密州出猎”，为下学期华政汇演助教人选做准备。

我完全没想到老师的大手笔，立即通知Veronica，让她全身心备战水浪拳“密州出猎”的学习，争取出任华政汇演助教，我们二人共同努力，务必在6月18日，她回国前把“密州出猎”学完且能独立打下来。Veronica在看了我发给她的国燕和晓希的“密州出猎”演示版视频和我们团队此前翻译的英文介绍资料后，高兴而慎重地接下小凌老师部署的教学任务，十分感激老师给予的指点和宝贵的机会。

我遵师命对Veronica紧锣密鼓地开始了特训，6月11日教完上半套、6月13日教完下半套、6月15日复习（带打为主）、6月18日复习（独立打为主），通过四次课程，Veronica终于能把“密州出猎”独立地从头到尾打下来了。期间，因时间紧加之上海黄梅天的糟糕天气让Veronica感觉很不舒服，虽然她每天都很努力，仍感觉可能无法胜任去华政教拳，颇有压力。小凌老师的一句“能者为师，抓紧练吧”，给了Veronica很大的鼓励。虹桥点训练时，得到晓为、芝亦等的帮助，也让Veronica感到很温暖。同时，老师还要我用普通话和上海话教会Veronica每记拳名，并提出给Veronica起一个中文名字，方便大家称呼。我为Veronica拍了水浪拳密州出猎演示版的视频，配上普通话和上海话的拳名朗读，请老师检查了上海话发音，Veronica临走前收到视频很是感动，说会把老师创编的这首以拳合词的密州出猎带到瑞典，展示给瑞典的朋友。

小凌老师还传话在凌氏团队教学群里动员大家给Veronica起中文名。感谢晓希、嘉严、婉舟、国燕师姐等纷纷献计献策，老师觉得婉舟起的瑞宁不错，而国燕师姐起的晓莉与我的想法不谋而合。此前我也问了老师，是否把Veronica按晓字辈起名？因为我觉得我只是在按照小凌老师的部署和指点去教她，而小凌老师才是真正地在引领她、培养她、造就她，我可以胜任教练，但还不够去做一名老师。然而，小凌老师却说，“你们应该去开枝散叶，第三代以后还要有第四代，Veronica今后还要有她的学生，这样才能一代代传下去。”我心想也只有小凌老师才有这样的胸襟和格局，单这点上恐怕也是前无古人的，否则中华武术不至于沦落至此。老师在幕后不遗余力地为我们指点操持，把我们扶上马，还送一程，却把名利、功劳都归于我们。老师不计得失地甘当人梯，却还常常受到各种误解，甚至攻击。然而，为了内家拳的传承，老师几十年来义无反顾。

老师刚说的时候我还没反应过来，只知道认真执行，在教Veronica的时候才突然醒悟，老师是在为Veronica能顺利融入华政的教拳而打好基础。Veronica不大懂中文，拳名也好，人名也好，听懂不就可以进行最基本的交流了吗？老师的未雨绸缪不仅在大政方针上，还落实在每一处细节上，难怪每一次只要有老师在，事情总能完成得很顺利，总能就让人喜出望外。

还是老师常常告诫我们的那句“临事而惧，好谋而成”，然而真正要做到，谈何容易啊！而我们有小凌老师，又是多么幸运啊！

今日凌晨，Veronica飞瑞典了，昨晚还不忘写了小记发给我。祝她一路顺利，不负小凌老师厚望把水浪拳密州出猎练好。也期待着下学期我们的华政教练团里增加一位来自瑞典的新面孔。

The Swedish PhD Who Fell in Love with Ling’s Wave Quan

As noted in Veronica's practice diary, "fate" sparked a foreigner's passion for  Ling’s Wave Quan—all because of the evocative name "Sui Bo Zhu Liu" (Ride the Waves) coined by Master Xiao Ling. This Swedish PhD in Philosophy, who has lived in Shanghai for over six years, mastered the "Mi Zhou Chu Lie" (Hunting in Mizhou) form of  Ling’s Wave Quan

 in just 2 hours under Master Xiao Ling's guidance, later performing the full demonstration independently.

In May, when Lingshi Boxing Art's Hongqiao training site relocated to a green area near Xijiao Hotel, Veronica passed by multiple times, observing our practice. During a casual chat, I encouraged her to try a few moves. She immediately learned the starting sequence and was hooked. After class, I introduced her to Master Xiao Ling, the Lingshi team, and the two martial styles they preserve. Veronica shared her excitement: "Watching you practice and trying the starting moves, I see how  Ling’s Wave Quan techniques mirror its name—especially 'Sui Bo Zhu Liu.' It's so vivid and fascinating!" She was eager to learn the complete form.

On the morning of May 24th, while Senior Sister Guoyan taught the spine-health version of  Ling’s Wave Quan to Mr. Yan from the "Old Friends & New Acquaintances" group, I began coaching Veronica. From the opening posture to the dantian rotation after "Ting Che Wen Lu" (Park the Cart to Ask the Way), I explained Master Xiao Ling's "Three-Step" teaching model and the martial philosophy behind each move.

Interestingly, Veronica fixated on "qi" (vital energy), asking about breathing and energy flow—likely influenced by her Tai Chi and standing meditation background. This reminded me of Dong Lei's early days. I echoed Master Xiao Ling's wisdom: "Learn hand and foot movements first. Once coordinated, progress to elbows/knees, then shoulders/hips—achieving the 'Outer Three Harmonies.' The 'Inner Three Harmonies' (mind-intention, intention-qi, qi-power) come naturally. Overthinking qi from the start is pointless—do you monitor breathing while walking?" Veronica marveled: "This is the first time a teacher has explained martial arts so scientifically!" She never again fixated on qi, a testament to her PhD-level grasp of concepts. 

Before dismissing class, I emphasized three principles: 1) Martial ethics require bowing rituals between teacher and student; 2) "Cultivate both pen and fist"—students must journal after each session; 3) As a native Swedish speaker, Veronica helped refine English translations of boxing terms. To my delight, she excelled in all three—especially in promptly submitting detailed practice journals, a discipline I admire.

On May 25th, during Sunday training, Veronica formally began learning Lingshi Boxing. Disciple Xiaowei and I took turns teaching her Ling’s Wave Quan and the footwork of "Shi Da Xing" (Ten Great Forms), and she thrived in the immersive practice.

From May 26th to June 8th, over five 1-hour sessions, I taught Veronica the first section of  Ling’s Wave Quan—from the opening to "Hong Yan Shuang Fei" (Twin Swans Soaring). Teaching a foreigner systematically in English was a first for me, yielding key insights: 

1. Clear demonstration & decomposition: Break complex moves into steps with simple commands (e.g., "1-2-3"). Teaching "Shun Shui Tui Zhou" (Push Boat with Current) in four phases resembled coaching children.

2. Targeted vocabulary: Use body-part terms (hand/foot/shoulder/hip) to reinforce precision.

3. Master Xiao Ling's trinity: Emphasize direction (8 cardinal points), center of gravity (4:6/3:7 stances), and posture fluctuations (high/low/level). 

By adhering to Master Xiao Ling's methodology and Veronica's dedication, we overcame language barriers and corrected three years of ingrained postures, smoothly completing the first section. 

When Veronica announced her mid-June return to Sweden (revisiting in August), I planned review sessions for independent practice. But Master Xiao Ling's vision intervened. After watching her practice video, he declared: "She has the makings of an internal martial artist. With training, she'll shine." He tasked me with teaching "Mi Zhou Chu Lie" before her departure, grooming her as an assistant coach for a Huazheng University performance. 

Amazed by this opportunity, Veronica studied the demonstration videos of Guoyan and Xiaoxi, then committed to intensive training. From June 11th (upper section) to June 18th (final review), we completed the form in four sessions. Despite Shanghai's muggy黄梅天 and self-doubt, she persevered—emboldened by Master Xiao Ling's encouragement: "The capable teach—just practice!" Support from teammates Xiaowei and Zhiyi further lifted her spirits. Master Xiao Ling also requested a Chinese name for her (eventually choosing "Ruining" by Wanshou and "Xiaoli" by Guoyan) and had me record a video of her performance with Mandarin/Shanghai dialect voiceovers. Touched, Veronica vowed to showcase this "boxing-set-to-poetry" in Sweden. 

Master Xiao Ling's wisdom shone through every detail—from ensuring she understood boxing names in Chinese to mentoring us on传承 (heritage). "You must branch out," he said. "Veronica will train future generations, carrying this art forward." His selfless commitment to martial arts preservation—often misunderstood—drives Lingshi Boxing's mission. 

As Veronica flew back to Sweden early this morning, she sent her final practice journal. May she honor Master Xiao Ling's trust and bring  Ling’s Wave Quan's grace to Sweden. We await her return as Huazheng University's first Swedish martial arts assistant coach—a testament to how "fate" bridges continents through the beauty of Chinese boxing.
