Coquettish Rebirth

"Brother Zhanjun, why is your air in actual combat completely different from the Taijiquan you usually practice on the streets?" Jia Hongjian couldn't help but asked after Wang Zhanjun finished his practice.Then I saw that Wang Zhanjun didn't smile much, and explained in a low voice: "Actually, the kind of thing that old men and women practice in the streets and alleys is called Tai Chi exercises. Our Chenjiagou learned martial arts secretly, and after being discovered, we Chenjiagou got rid of the prejudices of the Jianghu, took Yang Luchan under the door, and handed over martial arts to him.

Then he went to the martial arts hall in the capital, and defeated several martial arts masters in the capital. He became famous all over the world, and many princes Baylor wanted to learn from him.You said that Yang Luchan didn't have a teacher's order, so can he really hand it over to others?Moreover, it is impossible for those princes and princes Baylor to really learn from him as a teacher.So in the end, he simplified a lot of things and turned Tai Chi into a concept similar to Tai Chi exercises. For example, it is actually Tai Chi exercises practiced by old men and women in the market.Tai Chi exercises look beautiful and elegant, just like martial arts routines, but they are only for outsiders to watch and play with, and if the real brothers practice against each other, it is all about martial arts..."

Whoa!And this kind of **? "Then our traditional martial arts are not the same as boxing, kickboxing, etc.? What about those routines? Those are also ostentatious for princes and nobles?" Jia Hongjian couldn't help asking.Then I heard the fat guy reply in a serious voice, "All roads lead to Rome. Originally, such things as martial arts and fighting skills are the way for human beings to maximize their own physical conditions to fight with their own kind. We Chinese and foreigners have physical The structure is the same, and the weaknesses are the same. Everyone has to exert a lot of strength, and the way of exerting force is similar, so it must be similar. It is impossible to say that our Chinese martial arts do not protect the throat. Just die? It must be to protect the throat and soft ribs and kidneys. This is a must, no matter who it is. As long as it is an earthling. Human martial arts must protect against these aspects..."

Having said this, the fat man paused.Then he said: "And the standing posture and so on. This has something to do with exertion. The way a person stands with one foot in front of the other can exert the greatest force. Now boxing exercises are also said to be exerted from the feet, and it is also necessary From the feet to the calves to the thighs to the waist and hips and finally to the shoulders and arms. Only in this way can the impact force be greater. The human body is such a structure. We must practice these things in order to train strength in traditional martial arts, just like Nan The Cun Jin in the boxing is actually the rapid transfer of muscle power from the feet to the hands and then exerting force, otherwise the strength cannot be great! Any internal strength and the like are all nonsense! The old saying used to be that if you practice boxing without practicing kung fu, you will never get old. , The strength mentioned is not internal strength, but actually the coordination of various details of muscle force, how to maximize the use of all the muscles of the human body, and transfer the power to the fist to punch out! If you don’t practice this, your muscles will be strong when you are young Maybe it doesn’t feel like anything, but when you’re old, your muscle strength has weakened, and you can’t hurt people by relying on arm strength alone. Isn’t this just a game? It’s just a show!”

"So in fact, many things in martial arts are figured out. This is why traditional martial arts used to be very taboo for others to peek at the practice, because everyone's things are actually similar, but the way of combination is different. For example, Bagua boxing The last thing to do is to dodge the pile. This does not mean to circle around the opponent, but to practice various dodges. When the opponent punches you, you cannot retreat. If you retreat, the opponent will take a step forward, and the distance between everyone will remain the same. , you still have to be beaten, so the key point of Bagua boxing is to dodge to the sides, and to move forward to avoid.

This is also true in boxing, especially when a small boxer is facing a big one. He is tall and has long arms. If he punches you, you will retreat. You will only be beaten for the rest of your life, so you must get closer and close to the body. The distance restricts the arm swing space of the opponent, so in boxing, when a small guy hits a big guy, you see, when the small guy dodges, he always dodges to the side. It is old to dodge the big guy like this, and it is not easy because of the angle. Use your strength, so even if you are beaten at this time, the impact will not be great, but it will be easier to use your strength if you are close to your body.So in fact Baguaquan is similar to boxing in many ways.Therefore, if a boxing learner peeks at the practice of Bagua boxing, he can really quickly figure out the opponent's fighting philosophy, find out whether the opponent wants to grab the center line or why, and know the opponent's central idea of ​​fighting, which is easy to restrain That's why peeking was the most taboo back then..."

Whoops I'm going!This really convinced Jia Hongjian!At least Jia Hongjian felt that the fat man's theory could be justified!Even if you think about it deeply, don't the things of Chinese medicine and the things of Western medicine all lead to Rome?On the surface, there are two theories of Chinese medicine and Western medicine. There are all kinds of mysteries in Chinese medicine, such as qi, yin and yang, and meridians. These things cannot be verified by Western medicine, but sometimes the things of Chinese medicine can be cured. sick.It's like Europe and the United States now recognize acupuncture. Although they haven't discovered meridians, they have found that acupuncture is indeed useful.After that, with the development of science and technology, not to mention the discovery of meridians, but if the internal scientific principles of acupuncture and moxibustion are discovered, although there may not be such things as meridians, can it be said that Chinese and Western medicine have merged?Can it be said that ancient Chinese medicine and modern western medicine discovered the same conclusion from different perspectives and different theories?It’s like going from Shanghai to Lingnan, you can take a train or a plane, and finally arrive in Lingnan. Although there are fast and slow, popular and unpopular, it cannot be said that the slow or unpopular way is wrong. ,Right?The end result is the same for everyone...

Just when Jia Hongjian was thinking about this, he only listened to the fat brother Wang Zhanjun and then he explained the other questions Jia Hongjian asked just now, "As for other sects' ostentatious routines, this is mainly due to historical reasons. In fact, our Chinese martial arts was first spread from the army. It is equivalent to retired soldiers who handed over the things used in the battle in the army to the villagers. You should also know that it was normal for us to fight with weapons in the villages in China before, especially for fighting It is normal to kill a few people every year in the source of water. So it is normal for the veterans to teach the folks in the village how to form an formation and how to use a long spear. The long spear is the king of a hundred soldiers. In fact, part of the meaning refers to other weapons Many ways of use have evolved from long spears. The gun becomes shorter and has a blade. It is a sword. The sword becomes thicker and has a single edge. This is a knife. Whether it is a gun, a knife or a sword, the method of use is slightly different. With a change, the boxing method is the same, but it is shorter.

As for why there were ostentations later, the main reason was that before the Yuan Dynasty, the people could not restrain weapons, only bows and crossbows and armor, so ordinary people practiced kung fu directly by copying guys.Later, weapons were banned in the Yuan Dynasty, and even kitchen knives could only be used by several families. At this time, there was no way to practice weapons, so they could only practice boxing.But to practice boxing or something, you need to recruit an apprentice. This apprentice may have evil intentions. According to the ancient saying, after teaching the apprentice martial arts, the apprentice went out to kill and set fire. The master will also be implicated when he returns to the Palace of the King of Hell. .So first teach ostentation, first hone your mind, and see that the apprentices can calm down and have aptitude, and then teach real kung fu, that is, hard work and actual combat skills..."

Having said this, Wang Zhanjun paused again, "Actually, it's the same today. Even if you open a martial arts gym today, most of the time you just teach a little show. If you really teach something, you hide it. Because to be honest, This kind of apprentice who spends money to learn boxing cannot examine his mind like before. To put it bluntly, I taught you two moves today, which are really useful. You will have confidence later. When you encounter robbers with knives, you usually You are always running away. Today you think you can fight, go up and fight with people, but you were stabbed to death... Whose is this? Even if the master has no legal responsibility, this is not good on conscience. So there is no way to teach everyone, today It's all taught. Tomorrow, this apprentice drank too much, quarreled with people at other tables, and beat someone to death. What about the family members of the deceased? Who will take care of the wife and children? Just got..."

Whoops, let me go, feelings, self-preservation, etc. are these reasons?But think about it, if Jia Hongjian didn't know martial arts or something, for example, if he encountered a robbery with a gun in the United States, he might obediently give his wallet to others, protecting himself first.But if there is something wrong in his hand, will there be an urge in his heart to grab the gun while the other party is not paying attention?It's okay if this happens, but if it doesn't happen and the other party shoots a few times, didn't Jia Hongjian commit suicide by himself?It seems that this master can't teach his apprentice everything!

At this point, Jia Hongjian translated what Wang Zhanjun had said to Nolan and Bell. As a result, they were both shocked and ecstatic.Then Nolan told Jia Hongjian that Bell must practice here!It doesn't matter whether you practice or not, but at least you have to learn the movements of Fa Jin, at least you can fight like a Lianjiazi!How good it would be to make a movie like this!It's not like in other movies where a punch and a kick have no power, but they can knock out the little guy, it looks too fake, at least let Bell's strenuous posture look fierce, at least you have to practice it It looks like punches and kicks are very powerful, all punches to the flesh, right?

And after Wang Zhanjun agreed to come down to train Bell, Jia Hongjian and Nolan were really surprised by the content of training Bell on the first day!It turned out that the content of this first day was nothing else. It was to ask Bell to hold a 3-meter-long Chinese spear, and then practice shaking the gun!Moreover, the posture of shaking the gun is not like the spear tip in front and the buttocks of the spear in the hand as most people imagine, but the whole spear is held horizontally, and the hand can only hold the buttocks of the gun!With feet shoulder-width apart, take a slight horse stance, then draw with hands shoulder-width apart, just hold the gun buttocks sideways, the point of the gun is more than two meters away from the left side of the body, and then let Bell's arms not allow Bending, use the waist and hips to drive the strength of the shoulders to shake the gun!What kind of practice is this...? (To be continued..)
