Discussion
on the Codified Sequence
of Bare Hands Fighting
Ngọc-Trản
玉 琖
( The Jade Cup )
The Codified Sequence of « Ngọc-Trản » (玉 琖) is considered by Võ-Thuật Cổ-Truyền Bình-Định as the one most representative. There's a Codified Sequence that ancient Dynasties had choosed as a Codified Sequence for Martial Arts Men participating to « Martial Baccalaureate » in Military Examinations of Local Recruitment, organized during the years from Astrological Signs of Mouse, of Horse, of Cat and of Cock, before to be permitted to participate to Military Examinations of Great Recruitment organized at the Imperial Capital during lthe years from Astrological Signs of Dragon, of Dog, of Buffalo and of Goat.
By habit, the most of people use the two first words of the Coded Poem fist line « Ngọc-Trản Ngân Đài, Tả Hữu Tấn Khai Thập-Tự » for giving to Codified Sequence the name of « Ngọc-Trản ».
In truth, the name of this Codified Sequence « Ngọc-Trản 玉 琖 » is « Mộc-Thiều 沐 髫 ».
The Codified Sequence of Bare Hands Fighting
« Ngọc-Trản Quyền »
玉琖拳
( The Jade Cup )
The Codified Sequence of « Ngọc-Trản » (玉 琖) - whom the true name is « Mộc-Thiều » (沐 髫) - from BÌNH-Định SA-LONG-CƯƠNG School System owns a Coded Poem including 24 verses (134 words). It has been passed down to our Grand-Master Trương Thanh Đăng by the celebrious Grand-Master Trương-Trạch.
We need to underline here that, in nowadays, the Codified Sequence of « Ngọc-Trản » from the SA-LONG-CƯƠNG School System in the world don't get a correct passing down in accordance with each Coded Verse, because of the mix and addition of other techniques arbitrarily. For example :
- The technique « Ngọc-Trản Ngân-Đài » was assimilated by the technique « Khủng-Long Quyền » from Shaolin Martial Arts ;
- The technique « Tả-Hữu Tấn-Khai Thập-Tự » was affected by addition of useless techniques on the pegagogic plan ;
- Etc...
By consequent, for the SA-LONG-CƯƠNG School System, although the Codified Sequence of « The Silver Cup - Ngọc-Trản » (玉 琖) is choosed by old Dynasties as the one for taking the exam of «Martial Baccalaureate» - Tú-Tài Võ » in Military Examinations of Local Recruitment » (Thi-Tuyển Sở-Cử), it is not considered for all that as a representative Codified Sequence of the School System.
To thell the truth, the various Lunges in this Codified Sequence of « Mộc-Thiều » (沐 髫) mobilize totally techniques of Moving, Hands, Feet and Body, that why they demand Martial Student a solid mastery of foundamental basis in Martial Arts in order to doing correctly this Codified Sequence.
There is a marvellous Codified Sequence of Bare Hands Fighting Art having an excellent pedagogic value and a frighteningly effectiveness.
