王氏水性太极拳导师简介 鄧應標
余自幼喜爱运动。小学的时候随体育老师学习各种体操及单杠和双杠，闲时与邻居朋友在附近的球场玩足球和篮球。至中学和大学以后，开始喜欢打羽毛球，网球和长跑。在英国曼彻斯特大学修读研究生课时，更练习和参加马拉松长跑赛。后来因为脚跟发疼后，便尝试寻找学习一种比较柔和，而且能强身健体及御敌的运动。在因缘巧合的情况下，遇到一位与杨守中亦师亦友杨家太极拳八十多岁的李德老师傅，成为我学习太极拳的启蒙老师。并且有机会认识杨守中老师的几位大弟子。可惜，跟李德老师学习了一年后，他因为身体衰老进了老人宿舍，终断了我和杨家太极拳的缘分。
在友人引荐下，认识了杨家老架太极拳的谢皓敬老师。他是江苏溧阳人，跟一位三朝元老以及在清朝末年教授皇室子弟的老师傅学习太极拳多年。这位老师傅在文革时被清算至死。谢老师也因此去了台湾工作，也学会了一套由国防部石觉将军与众资深太极拳专业拳师根据杨家的套路所编纂的另外一套太极拳。这套拳与一般太极拳的分别是打八个方位，使玩拳的人觉得更有趣味。此外，谢老师也学过华山派的筑基功法，强调身法柔劲。我辛运地有机会跟谢老师在我移民加拿大的前后，断断续续的学了多年，直到他患了肾衰竭病去世为止。
就在谢老师去逝那年，我有缘在一九九九年遇到王壮宏老师，从此开始学习他自创的《王氏太极拳》。每星期除了到香港花园和九龙公园学拳外，更到他家里学习太极拳拳谱理论与易经，老子，金刚经和佛学的关系。王老师为著名书法家，武术家，金石书画碑刻鉴定家。在武术方面，老师天资聪敏，毅力过人，精通醉八仙，形意拳，各式太极拳。透过多年的钻研，把八卦掌，形意拳和太极拳融合起来，再加上王宗岳的太极拳谱的理论，开创《王氏太极拳》。老师要求每次练拳，一定要打七遍。 而且还要熟识拳谱，不断的练习，浸淫与反思。才有机会悟出什么是水性太极拳，最后要把套路和拳谱都去掉才能有所收获。 老师说他这套拳是智慧拳，聪明拳。一定要把拳架熟练到松控圆满，并能与太极拳和阴阳理论挂钩，不急不缓，自然而然地勤练，将来有机会达到不可思议的境界。自从跟随王老师学拳以来，一直练习和钻研，从来没有间断。并且体会到这套拳原来有更高的层次，同时也发觉不断地有所进步，好像没有底一样。记得王老师曾告诫我，一定要先学然后要教，从过程中不断地揣摸，才能有进步和收获。
我移民加拿大以后，曾在密西沙加的中文学校教台湾式的太极拳七年。学会了王氏太极拳以后，觉得这套拳比台湾的太极拳强，无论拳架和理论上都比较强和充实，也从学习中体会到太极拳实际上也是一套动气功。这次有机会再教太极拳，我希望把谢老师的筑基功揉合王氏太极拳架与同学们分享，使他们能够比较容易入门，不单缩短他们学习王氏太极拳的时间，同时也能体会这套太极拳的功效。
