The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 353 Bold Ideas
"There don't seem to be any shortcuts to martial arts training, do you?"

The old Chinese medicine doctor asked curiously, "This isn't like a martial arts novel where you cultivate internal energy; physical exercise can't be done in a step-by-step manner!"

"The old gentleman still reads martial arts novels?"

Now it was Wu Feng's turn to be surprised. He asked curiously, "You even know about internal energy cultivation?"

"Look at what you're saying! This old man doesn't have time to read martial arts novels, but he's certainly watched martial arts TV series!"

The old Chinese medicine doctor's face twitched slightly, and he said in an annoyed tone, "Besides, this old man himself has practiced health preservation techniques, so I can be considered a semi-expert!"

"Alright then, this is what I think..."

Wu Feng didn't press the matter and quickly revealed his thoughts.

In fact, his idea is not complicated.

In a world without supernatural abilities, whether it's physical training or martial arts practice, one can only proceed step by step gradually.

However, increasingly advanced science and technology may reverse this situation and accelerate the progress of martial arts training.

For example, practicing Tan Tui (a type of leg exercise) mostly involves training the leg muscles and tendons.

The traditional training method starts with horse stance training, and it takes more than ten years of hard work, combined with various medicinal diets and ointments, to reach a certain level of proficiency.

According to Wu Feng's idea, they could first use instruments and equipment to figure out the physical data of a master of Tan Tui who had achieved mastery, especially the specific data of the leg muscles and tendons.

Then, through a scientific training plan, within one to two years, the corresponding qualities of each part of the body can be trained to the same level as those of a master of Tan Tui (a type of martial art).

All martial arts skills are based on physical function!

According to Wu Feng's plan, once the body's functions are in place, the same level of martial arts skill will naturally be achieved.

At most, it will take some time to become familiar with and adapt to the attack and defense methods of Tan Tui through its special training methods.

His idea was novel and bold!

At least, I had never heard of it before.

Of course, it also comes from Wu Feng's vast resources and funding for experiments.

Verification is actually not that difficult.

Inviting several professional football players would quickly reveal the effectiveness of improving Tan Tui (a type of Chinese football).

In his previous life, Wu Feng had read a rebirth novel about football, in which the protagonist mentioned that the power of a professional football player's leg, especially their dominant leg, was no less than the full-force strike of a master of Tan Tui (a style of Chinese martial arts).

Especially those powerful strikers in football, they might be the perfect geniuses to train Tan Tui!

Wu Feng felt this deeply!

The miserable faces of the opposing players when he took a free kick on the field spoke volumes.

If he deliberately kicks someone, a heavy blow, whether it hits their forehead or chest, could really knock them unconscious.

Therefore, he suspected that the so-called martial arts prodigies in the martial arts world were simply people whose physical qualities were well adapted to the training characteristics of a certain martial art.

Those who practice Chuojiao and Tantui naturally need to have particularly strong and well-developed leg muscles and tendons.

If one's physical condition is quite balanced and one is stronger than the average person in all aspects, it is estimated that one can learn any martial art very quickly.

Wu Feng is a true man of action!

With an idea in mind, and having been able to invite masters of Tan Tui and Chuo Jiao as his teachers, and with the support of a powerful factory and hospital, he has already begun the verification experiment.

Of course, the professional football players invited are all those who are about to retire; they certainly won't invite stars in their prime, because that would be too expensive.

Not only were Tan Tui and Chuo Jiao martial arts tested, but retired volleyball and basketball players were also invited to practice Da Sheng Pi Gua Zhang and Tong Bei Quan.

At the same time, several retired table tennis players were also invited to verify the effects of practicing Wing Chun.

He shared his ideas and the experiments he was conducting with the two renowned doctors.

"That's a brilliant idea!"

The old military doctor's eyes lit up, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was quite feasible.

"If the verification results are obvious, wouldn't that mean that kung fu masters can be mass-produced through scientific means?"

"It's unlikely!"

The old Chinese medicine doctor shook his head in denial, saying, "If that were really the case, wouldn't there be countless experts in Europe and America?"

Upon hearing this, the veteran military doctor realized that there was indeed a problem.

But he couldn't immediately pinpoint the problem.

"It can't be that simple!"

Wu Feng laughed and said, "Even if one's physical qualities meet certain standards, to possess the skills and strength of a martial arts master of the same caliber, one naturally needs guidance from a master proficient in such martial arts to cultivate!"

Since he proposed such a concept and began to verify the experiment, he naturally considered all aspects that needed to be taken into account.

Physical fitness is one thing, but whether it can be transformed into real martial arts skills naturally requires subsequent rigorous professional training.

Take Mike Tyson, for example. He was physically gifted and a formidable street fighter. But without subsequent professional boxing training, it would have been impossible for him to become a world-renowned boxing champion.

There are so many freestyle football masters on the streets of Brazil, but very few of them actually become professional players!
It's not that they lack the physical qualities to become professional players; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to perform freestyle football so well.

The real reason is that they simply don't have the opportunity to enter the professional football world and don't receive professional football training.

The principles are the same!

Next, Wu Feng brought out a lot of good stuff.

There are medicated oils to relieve muscle fatigue, plasters to treat sprains, lotions to treat bruises, ointments to treat bone injuries, and so on.

Some of these medicines were developed by a group of renowned traditional Chinese medicine experts during Wu Feng's training period.

Some are made using ancient formulas.

In short, there is a complete set of prescriptions for treating various external injuries.

During this period, he also devised various prescriptions for internal use.

Yes, because of the medicinal materials, it can only be prepared on a small scale.

However, some medicines have the foundation for large-scale industrial production.

Unbeknownst to many, the two hospitals under Wu Feng's command, along with numerous renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, have already developed a number of excellent products that are ready to be marketed.

Don't underestimate these seemingly insignificant items; their demand and market size are quite astonishing.

Just like Yunnan Baiyao spray in later generations, which professional athlete didn't have a stockpile of it?

Wu Feng has already started selling these combinations of medicinal wines and ointments at his private hospital on Hong Kong Island.

It's being sold under the guise of traditional Chinese medicine!

They didn't cause much of a commotion, adhering to the principle of quietly entering the village and not firing a shot.

The normal pharmaceutical market doesn't have much of a share, but the market for "Young and Dangerous" movies is booming.

Currently, the entire Hung Hing triad, along with many other top-tier triad members, has begun to purchase large quantities of external injury combination medicines produced by Wu Feng's private hospital.

Because of its obvious therapeutic effects, it is said to have a very good reputation.

Who knows when they might be able to dominate most of the gangster market.

Not only are oral and topical medications for treating external injuries selling better and better, but there are also a large number of surgical wounds and surgeries available.

Cough cough, Wu Feng's private hospital on Hong Kong Island has almost become a treatment and recuperation base for Hung Hing's underlings.

Other members of the gang were also affected, or received instructions from their boss, and gradually transferred their post-injury treatment to Wu Feng's private hospital.

To avoid trouble, Wu Feng established six or seven small clinics with proper medical licenses near the private hospital, mainly to share the risks and prevent the private hospital from being affected by certain events.

They even divided up the treatment areas, specifying which clinics would treat which ailments and which clinics would handle other patients.

The doctors and nurses in these clinics are naturally dispatched from Wu Feng's private hospitals, so there's no need to worry about the quality of treatment and care.

With a large number of patients to practice on, the skills of the doctors and nurses in Wu Feng's private hospitals improved rapidly.

At the same time, the emergence of a large number of patients with the same type of disease has also given veteran traditional Chinese medicine doctors in the hospital the opportunity to think about developing universally applicable medicinal decoctions and preparations.

Unfortunately, factories and hospitals in mainland China don't have such convenient facilities.

Although patients come in every day with all sorts of ailments, it's difficult to make any progress in a short period of time.

At that time, the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine in mainland China was still quite good.

The country does value traditional Chinese medicine; otherwise, it wouldn't have produced numerous pharmacopoeias of medicines and prescriptions for public sale.

Unfortunately, at that time, the mainland lacked funds, and coupled with the suppression by certain individuals with ulterior motives, the environment for the survival of traditional Chinese medicine became less than friendly.

Wu Feng didn't bother with these things. He had spent a lot of money acquiring various folk remedies, especially those that were used in conjunction with martial arts training. In just a few years, he had collected quite a few remedies.

Presenting these prescriptions immediately attracted the attention of the veteran military doctor and the veteran traditional Chinese medicine doctor; the excitement in their eyes was truly genuine.

In short, Wu Feng spared no expense in spending a lot of money so that his future martial arts training would be smoother, without any hesitation.

His goal was simple: to achieve a higher level of skill and mastery in martial arts.

Of course, if, while achieving one's own goals, one could also develop a comprehensive system of universally applicable traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions for external injuries and various therapeutic effects, that would be ideal.

If the results are significant, he plans to dedicate himself to biopharmaceuticals from now on, at least in the short term, so as not to attract the attention of those international pharmaceutical giants.

It can be said that he has enormous ambitions!

It is estimated that the two private hospitals under his control are still far from sufficient in scale to achieve his goals.

Fortunately, Wu Feng was not in a hurry; he was prepared for a protracted battle.

This open and frank conversation successfully gained the support of the two renowned doctors, who also participated with great interest.

Wu Feng's idea is indeed very bold. If it can be done, under certain conditions, it could really mass-produce traditional martial arts masters, which would be a great thing for both the country and individuals.
