動向 News - 螳螂派黃漢勛

宗師碩果僅存演式錄像梅花手、螳螂偷桃，經過差不多四十年輾轉尋回。螳螂偷桃經已上載，梅花手指望農曆新年上載。

此兩段珍藏錄影於1972~1973年間。最初以「超8米厘」拍攝，最近輾轉撿出再行數碼化。當年宗師縱於養病期間，然仍抖擻精神，留此紀錄於後世，我輩能不珍惜哉？

品評武藝，惟水平相若，方可論斷，否則趨庭孺慕，只能仰止。然於鑑賞宗師演式時，或可領略其嚴謹中之從容，於腰腿、視線、眼神、緩速與吞吐等，無不備焉。

隆重宣佈：香港中文大學圖書館特藏已整理黃漢勛的著作手稿、聘函和剪報等資料，將陸續上載。歡迎讀者閱覽。

We have pleasure to announce that the CUHK Library Archival Collections have digitized all the manuscripts, appointment letters, newspaper clippings and other material of Master Wong and will be uploaded gradually.

剛上載了六合棍。

「六合棍」為山東棍術典範，宗師曾於《武術雜誌》第169至180期（1956年）發表講義。惜所藏剪輯缺頁，一直無法覓得完整文本。幸得禤紹燦師兄不吝珍藏，補充缺頁，宗師造詣逾半世紀得以重圓，感恩不已。可惜尚欠第三頁（即第六至八式）及第十頁（即第二十二式），第二十二式可從所藏剪輯補足。雖1963年宗師曾再整理成講義，然亦無附圖。神驅運使，剛巧去年（2019年）_毅英演練了開頭八式並作錄影，唯有硬著頭皮，狗尾續貂。如是輾轉此套尚不至失傳，實為萬幸，祈能珍惜。

序中書名丙申孟冬中浣，丙申為1956年，孟冬指冬季的第一個月，即農曆十月。中浣，原指古時官吏每月中旬的休沐日，後泛指每月中旬。亦作「中澣」、「中盥」。

七星螳螂拳為本港非物質文化遺產之一，由我們策劃並執行的「螳螂拳之保育及發揚」項目剛獲得非物質文化遺產辦事處「社區主導項目」資助，內容包括螳螂拳術網上講座、口述訪問、套路攝製及黃漢勛宗師手稿電子化等。成果會逐步上載至網頁，敬請耐心等候。

The outcome will be uploaded onto the web in due course.

《螳螂拳術真傳》及《螳螂拳典》均已出版。

We are proud to announce that THE TREATISE IN THE PRAYING MANTIS SCHOOL OF MARTIAL ARTS has just been published. This masterpiece of Master Hon-Fan Wong was drafted early in the late 1950s, but part of the manuscript was lost. After years of effort, the missing parts were recovered from other writings of Master Wong, and now can be presented in full to the public. The book comprises 365 pages, with over 200 plates, discussing in detail the poses and uses of various techniques. They are put under the categories of Palm, Fist, Finger, Elbow, Arm, Steps, Legs, Physical Practices and Weapon. It is a full account of the foundation of the Praying Mantis school and further demonstrates Master Wong’s profound knowledge.
