Interview with Guo Guizhi

The following interview was published in the magazine "karate bushido" released in February 2002. It was designed by Gerard Bonnefoy. I allowed myself to rewrite it slightly to correct some Chinese expressions that did not seem appropriate in their translation in french ...

Question:

Have you known the founder of DaChengQuan, Master Wang Xiangzhai?

Mr. Guo Guizhi

Yes. I wanted to take the path of struggle. So I was recommended to master Yao (Yao Zongxun) and, later, I got to know the founder. His demonstration was impressive, he had the body as a whole. One day he struck up a gazebo in a park: The lookout while the ground vibrations and appeared to be shaken

Question:

The DaChengQuan Is there a martial art or a therapeutic method?

Mr. Guo Guizhi

Both. We must develop the health before taking up the martial. The two are linked.

Question:

What is the basis of DaChengQuan?

Mr. Guo Guizhi

There are seven basic exercises. The "posture of the tree" (zhanzhuang) for health and martial; travel by "not slipped (mocabu), the" try to force "(Shils) the practice of his Ah" sound is trying " (shisheng) expel the force (Fali) push hands (tui shou) and Combat (Sanshou).

Question:

Can you describe the process of expelling force (Fali )?

Mr. Guo Guizhi

First, we pass from yangshengzhuang (zhanzhuang for health) jijizhuang (zhanzhuang martial). Then comes the attempt to force (shili). By short work tension - relax tendons, one must appreciate the strength of self-expression in all six directions: up-down, front-rear, right-left. In the movement, the body must move in its entirety. Thus we come to expel the force (fali). The purpose of this exercise is to cultivate a spring force through the entire body. This concept is subtle and difficult to grasp. This is the song - jing (tension - relaxation, two words which, when pronounced together, mean "elasticity"). This concept allows to perform specific actions with almost imperceptible movements.

Question:

What are the requirements to control this "forced eviction" (Fali)?

Mr. Guo Guizhi

must act in stages. Whatever the movement, the body must move in its entirety, which will help in the fight, to take action fast with little movement. At the end of each movement, the tendons are contracted to expel the force in one of six directions while keeping the unified body. At this stage, we must mobilize several kinds of strength. There are five tendons essential to use when Fali: Those behind the neck, armpits Those who go to low scores and those behind the leg.

Question:

What do you think of methods of hardening of the body?

Mr. Guo Guizhi

They are unnecessary and harmful to health.

Question:

And Driving the punching bag?

Mr. Guo Guizhi

We use it to apply the five forms of punch. This is useful, provided you have mastered these five techniques first.

Question:

Y there combos coded DaChengQuan?

Mr. Guo Guizhi

No, there is no predetermined patterns. The key is to know or control the opponent off balance. Visualization work, sensation and mind are part of the internal method. Yi (intention) involves will and spirit.

Question:

Tell us about the outbreaks of hand (Tuishou) and combat (Sanshou)

Guo Guizhi Me:

The tuishou is a bit like a game, much slower than combat. But it is essential to understand the applications, the contact points and forced eviction in the six directions. In the battle, it comes in contact immediately: the forced eviction (Fali) follows immediately contact, whether by a sudden thrust, a hooking ... The process is fast but similar to that of pushing hands.

Question:

Y there commonalities between DaChengQuan and taijiquan?

Mr. Guo Guizhi

Health! I came, myself, to practice Yiquan because of stomach problems. The zhanzhuang really works, but its practice is very different from qigong as we know it in China.

Question:

How quickly a novice can get results?

Mr. Guo Guizhi

should first practice the poses health. But people in good physical shape can directly address the aspect fight. After three months we can see great changes but it takes a year to get good results, provided you exercise properly, to persevere and follow a good instructor. The average time to stay in a posture depends on the state Physics student. I say twenty minutes for the weakest and up to two hours per day for others.

Question:

Have you often won through battles in China?

Mr. Guo Guizhi

(no answer, he looks at me with a smile: I am advised that he has never lost a combat)

Question:

Y there a style of Chinese boxing that you fear most?

Mr. Guo Guizhi

is a sensitive issue.

(Obviously, Mr. Guo did not wish to enter into considerations of low rank on a particular style. He greets me, without departing from its eternal smile.)

Water Makes Money

_ Water is too precious to be entrusted to private companies, which operates primarily for profit and shareholder interests. This is not a commodity like others.
" Water Makes Money , directed by Leslie Franke and Herdolor Lorenz, shows the methodology leading to Veolia in particular, to enrich themselves at the expense of users. "

____ _ Scandal water at exorbitant prices ".. The film recalls such as the signing of the concession contract with Toulouse, Veolia has paid the city 473.5 million francs, an unexpected windfall that Dominique Baudis, the mayor of time, notably used to subsidize the construction of public buildings and lower taxes. In subsequent years, the user has seen the price of water rise steadily. According to estimates, the end of 2020, Veolia has collected more than triple his initial bet. Toulousains Thanks! More broadly, Water Makes Money denounces funding opaque lack of democratic control, the continued increases in prices over the long term, poor maintenance of pipes (whatever leaks because the water is paid by the user), the systematic use of chlorine and sometimes unnecessary ... It shows how Veolia is introduced in high places (a few examples among others: Stephane Richard, former head of Veolia Transport in 2007 became chief of staff at the Ministry of Economy and Finance, Dominique de Villepin was briefly an international adviser at Veolia ...). And according to an expert in lobbying citizens questioned, Veolia is deeply rooted in the intricacies of the European Union. The authors mention in the same film a structural corruption ... "
_ _ If water management has a cost, it can not be left to speculation, to financial predators .
_________ After the black gold, blue gold: the water market is already more profitable than oil? " The French water sector is therefore constantly changing. Remunicipalisation The water in Paris is an example. The City of Paris has decided that from 1 January 2010, water management in the capital will now be entrusted to a single public operator.
_______" Veolia wants to censor the document may be too disturbing, accusing him of defamation
____U not regulated public water is possible and necessary: "... 80% population lives in France under a system of delegation of public service water '. Based on a report UFC-Que Choisir , he denounced a perverse system 'in which' net margins of profit 'made by major groups representing private water "from 40 to 61%' the price of water. "
_ Business of Water: French giants exported " It is inconceivable for water multinationals to abandon export. They are indeed face a double challenge: in France, one third of the communities that will renew their contracts by 2012 considering "remunicipalisation" their water services. And, globally, less than 10% of these services are managed by private companies. Therefore, what is the strategy? Answer: targeting the politically stable countries and focus on profitable markets. Their prime targets are the major projects in cities of over one million inhabitants and whose budget is often more than 100 million euros. With their petrodollars and face a shortage of water, the Middle East have become the new Eldorado for private operators. Through its subsidiary Degremont, specializing in the construction of sewage treatment plants, Suez Environnement is present in the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman. For his part, Veolia Water has been selected by Abu Dhabi, UAE, to build and operate for twenty-two years, two treatment plants wastewater. A contract of 364 million euros! It will also provide drinking water for 4.5 million inhabitants of Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia ... "

Thinks To Write In A Wedding Card

Tomorrow Egypt ...


Saving Time? ...

No one knows where Egypt _

The insurgency is there. The revolution is slow, which may lead to structural change and a true democratic project.
One thing seems certain: Mubarak will not take very long power .
What transition? Hard to say ... The old and new are in conflict. The army retains control over the institutions. Also staged between the actor not disinterested, trying to play "referee" or to impose its views ... by bypasses prepared.
Egypt is not Tunisia. In the process irreversibly affecting the Arab world , Cairo is of utmost importance for Washington :
" ... It will be much harder to go after the revolt in Egypt elsewhere in Tunisia, particularly because of the economic and geostrategic interests of the USA in the country and region. Egypt is a cornerstone of U.S. policy in the Middle East for thirty years. The U.S. would not have made the wars in Iraq without the logistical support of Egypt. We must also recall the importance of the Suez Canal through which passes 7.5% of world trade. Moreover, the U.S. can not afford a destabilization of that country because of its pr oximité with Israel and the presence of the Muslim Brotherhood. The U.S. would prefer to see another strong man to succeed Mubarak to maintain stability in the country and protect their interests. They will not let go Mubarak, unless a new strong man is needed, as Omar Suleiman and General Hussein Tantawi example. It should be remembered that the army is in power directly or indirectly in Egypt for over fifty years. But all these strong trends (I) are think it is an irreversible process in the medium term. These plans are doomed, but they can still save time ... . "
_ _Où going to Egypt? Fears of a rise of the Muslim Brotherhood often divided whose size and weight policies are difficult to assess , is u do so brake creates reluctance in Western support. We forget that " is the lack of democracy that has allowed fundamentalist forces nuns to occupy the space. "
Some observers ( Sfeir ) believe in the democratic future, the movement will lose its radicalism, its legitimacy and its influence, particularly if the government supports the social, the Brothers invested to popularize. The new generations do not seem to worry about Sharia and more towards the Turkish model.
-Some French writers rather pro-Israelis, expressing their reluctance to support the revolt . " The daily Liberation remember that media intellectuals had refused to condemn the U.S. intervention in Iraq, "the name of democratizing the Arab world." They were also quick to support protests against the pro-Soviet regimes in Eastern Europe in the 1990s or, more recently, against the disputed re-election, and questionable, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Iran . __Mais For Egypt and Tunisia, is another story. "In Eastern Europe, there was a democratic tradition whose dissident intellectuals, including Czechoslovak or Polish were the heirs. Such a tradition does exist in Egypt? I hope so, but I'm not sure ", asserts Finkielkraut. He rejected the comparison, often cited, Islamist movements in Tunisia and Egypt with the party" Islamo-conservative " AKP in Turkey . "The AKP has to deal with the laity and they have in Turkey, a strength and a unique legitimacy in the Arab countries," he says .... _ _ Curiously, our media stars who are seriously worried about the arrival in power of a fundamentalist religious movement, have never said anything against the fact In Israel a party of this nature is long-time member of the coalition . The Shas party, a religious extremist party (and racist), has been in power in Israel with another far-right party, it equally racist and secular, Israel Beiteinu "surprised Pascal Boniface ... "

-_The revolution is not the taste of the American oligarchy. There is concern that "despite the dissonant voices false U.S. officials," there is pressure to impose a consistent succession to power of the moment. "It seems that the U.S. administration has finally decided to torpedo the revolution of the Egyptian people. She is, first, entrusting to the oligarchy, represented by Frank Wisner, who, moreover, is an old friend of Mubarak , to address the puzzle of Egypt. The position of the U.S. envoy said that behind the scenes, the U.S. is actually doing the opposite of what had hammered Obama in June 2009, during his speech in Cairo to address the Muslim world support the dictatorship at the expense of freedom, the arbitrary rule at the expense of democracy, a rogue regime against peaceful people who aspire to regain their human rights, more basic. Wisner's position reflects that of the American oligarchy . "
Frank G. Wisner is in fact, arrived in Cairo . It is not just anybody .. .
In Egypt, the army is trained and equipped by the Pentagon.
policy of the White House oscillates between open and masters events, among "Realpolitik" and "conflict of interest" : 'I want a representative government in Egypt said Barack Obama in an interview with the conservative TV channel Fox. We said, you must initiate the transition immediately (...). An orderly transition. " __L'expression "orderly transition" was formed specifically for Egypt reminds Washington Post by the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who has taken all day Saturday scouring the television shows - five in total ... __The mixed messages and reversals of U.S. policy is mainly a reflection of political "made on the fly" , caused by the unpreparedness of the United States to such a scenario, says a U.S. official the condition of anonymity in New York Times . "We had strategy sessions continuously for the past two years, peace in the Middle East on the way to contain Iran. How many of them foresaw the possibility that Egypt moves from stability to turmoil? None. " __Pour the British newspaper The Independent , there is no " realpolitik "or " policy on the fly "in the American game. "The U.S., once again, working undercover to serve their own interests in the Middle East" , asserts an editorial in the . In this article, we learn in fact that Frank Wisner, U.S. envoy in Egypt that pleaded Saturday for that Mubarak remains in office , is employed by a firm of lawyers and lobbyists working for the regime Mubarak and several "the most influential families in cases in Egypt." "It is nothing short of a conflict of interest" .
_ If Obama hesitates between political and economic interests, because he knows he can not repeat the mistake of Carter during the events of Iran in 1979 ... But
Mahmoud Hussein: "Egypt can not become another Iran."
No one can predict the scenario of events that will affect Egypt in the coming months and years ahead. Nothing is played. But one thing is certain: nothing will ever be ... _______________
