Actor's reincarnation

Chapter 577 Battle of Ideas
A month later, Su Yi's underground martial arts arena.

Both Su Yi and Chen Shi were wearing special armor. They each held two Bazhan knives, confronting each other vigilantly and approaching carefully.

At a certain moment, when the two stepped into each other's attack range almost at the same time, the two moved almost at the same time.

Swipe!

If there were outsiders present, he would definitely find that he couldn't see the movements of these two people clearly.

The sound of the clash of arms was heard in an instant, and then the arms of the two people changed, and they passed by each other, and they stood still at the same time when they were more than ten feet away.

The next moment, the "vest" tied with many knots on Chen Shi's body and the same equipment on Su Yi's body almost fell off from both of them at the same time, broke into several sections, and fell to the ground.

The corner of Chen Shi's mouth twitched, he slowly put away the knife, turned around, and looked at Su Yi with complicated eyes.

Su Yi on the other side also withdrew his knife, turned around, and bowed to Chen Shi.

At the moment of lightning and flint just now, the two attacked each other's vital parts with knives, which caused the knotted vests used to "score points" on the two of them to fall off to the ground.

If they pick up their vests and check carefully now, they will find that the knots that originally protected their throats or neck arteries, as well as wrist arteries and hearts have all been cut.

In just a short moment, like a white horse passing through the gap, the two of them almost only attacked but not defended. Both swords came out at the same time, and they attacked each other with more than ten swords in an instant!

As a result, almost all the vital parts of the upper body of the two were attacked by the other party!

If it was a real fight with their lives, the two would have died together by now.

Of course, this is also because the two were practicing attack and speed just now, so there was no defense at all.

Su Yi was a little emotional, the more pure his sword skills, the more he felt the difference between weapons and fists.

I dare not say that the difference between the two is like clouds and mud, but at least they can be regarded as two completely different fighting techniques.

Unarmed combat and the use of weapons are two completely different theories, no matter in terms of technical principles or style of moves.

Unarmed combat advocates offense, while using weapons pays more attention to defense.

The reason is very simple, punches can be fought, you receive ten punches, as long as you can't beat you, you can continue to punch.

But the knife is different. You really can't fight even once, and you may die if you fight!

Therefore, when the enemy and us fight with each other, the first thing to ensure is not to hit the opponent, but to ensure that we will not be attacked by the opponent.

In the use of weapons, there is no such thing as "the best defense is to attack". Anyone who says this is either desperate or dies together.

The sword technique that only attack but not defend is called Desperate Saburo.

But unarmed combat is different. In mixed martial arts, the most important thing to practice is how to knock down the opponent. In terms of defense, it is mainly about defending and unlocking skills. The movements of blocking and dodging are part of the combination of offense.

Unarmed relatively does not pay attention to defense, otherwise there would be no such thing as "resisting ability".

But weapons are not good enough, you also have to try "resisting knife ability"?
So weapons must be defended.

As the saying goes, a knife does not strike twice, and a stick does not strike twice, and this is the truth.

Then there is the enemy to deal with in unarmed combat.

In a weapon battle, the first thing to deal with is the weapon in the opponent's hand, and then the opponent.

This led to a huge difference between the two in terms of the most basic martial arts concepts.

In the past month, Su Yi has really worked hard. He only sleeps for five hours almost every day, and practice swords whenever he has time. Only then has he reached today's level.

"You're improving so fast!" Chen Shi said slowly, "A month ago, you couldn't even touch a single hair of mine, but now, you're on par with me. If you practice for a while, I'm afraid I will no longer be your opponent."

Before Su Yi could say a few words modestly, Chen Shi suddenly changed the topic: "But is your kung fu still Wing Chun?"

His complexion was complicated: "If I hadn't witnessed your changes every day and knew where your sword skills were born, I'm afraid that the master and his old man would not be able to see the difference between the sword skills you practiced and the Wing Chun Eight Swords. It matters!"

Chen Shi said this because Su Yi's saber technique and the saber technique Chen Shi taught him, on the surface, have nothing in common.

Even if you read the real martial arts, you may only vaguely feel that the saber techniques used by the two seem to have a relationship, and you will not see that they are the same saber technique.

The reason for this situation is that after Su Yi practiced the real Wing Chun eight-cutting sword technique step by step for [-] days, he began to try to use his own method, according to his own rhythm and style, to practice the sword technique taught by Chen Shi. Improve and practice your own combination of sword techniques.

Just like the combination boxing of mixed martial arts, Su Yi disassembled these sword techniques to extract the essence, then added his own understanding, and reassembled according to his own rhythm.

Moreover, according to the training methods of modern fencing and the main points of martial arts theory, Su Yi also greatly improved the style of the eight swordsmanship itself, making the swordmanship more sharp and swift.More varied.As a result, the eight-slashing sword technique Chen Shi taught him has changed beyond recognition.

As we all know, Ba Zhan Dao should have been called "Hezhang Dao" or "Butterfly Double Swords", but the reason why it is called Ba Zhan Dao is because the Wing Chun School's set of swordsmanship is born out of the "Yongzi Bafa" in calligraphy theory. , with two palm knives cast out, so it got its name.

The Eight Cutting Knife is a set of sword techniques with very strong actual combat ability and great power. Therefore, in the Wing Chun school, it is regarded as a bottom-of-the-box kung fu, and it is not passed down if it is not a direct line.

But such a set of powerful kung fu, like all traditional martial arts, has a common problem, that is, in order to pursue "smoothness" and "beauty", there are many redundant movements that are completely unnecessary in the sword technique, even for performance. There are some bells and whistles there.

For example, in the eight chopping swords, there is a move of "inner gate knife", which is simply "inner cutting", and it attacks the middle and lower lanes.

It stands to reason that this move is an extremely tricky and insidious move, but when it is executed, it is very smooth. After the movement is done, the whole body is stretched like a bow, full of beauty.

The reason why this effect can be achieved is because there are many unnecessary movements in this trick.

As a result, after Su Yi's improvement, this move no longer has any aesthetic feeling at all, it looks like a person suddenly fell forward and ate dog shit.

But the attack effect of this move has become a hundred times fiercer and more insidious, silent and extremely abrupt, making it impossible to guard against.

He and Chen Shi had a duel before, and they used this move to secure the victory.

In addition, there are some backhand holding sword moves in the Eight Cutting Sword Technique, which were all abandoned by Su Yi.

It stands to reason that the backhand holding the knife is more concealed, and the angle of the backhand holding the knife is more tricky. In the Eight Slashing Sword Technique, any backhand holding the knife is almost a very dangerous killing move, even a unique move.

But such a trick comes at the expense of safety and distance.

Holding a knife in the backhand is bound to be more difficult to defend than holding the knife in the front, and at the expense of the length of the knife itself, you need your own body to be closer to the enemy.

The most important thing is that holding the knife in the backhand is simply too easy to crack.

That is - take a step back.

Keep the distance away, no matter how powerful your backhand holding the knife is, it will not be able to hit the enemy, and it will be useless at all.On the contrary, the enemy is holding a knife and can kill you at any time.

Furthermore, holding a knife in the backhand is very difficult to practice, and it takes a lot of time and energy to practice and become proficient. For Su Yi, the effort is not directly proportional to the gain, which is unnecessary.

Therefore, no matter how handsome the move of holding the knife in the backhand is, and if it is played out of tricks, Su Yi will not use it.

From practicing martial arts to the present, although Su Yi is not considered a "master", he can still be regarded as a professional fighter who has his own martial arts philosophy and has formed his own fighting style.

He is very principled when it comes to his own style and philosophy. Even though Chen Shi strongly opposed him to delete and revise Wing Chun's Eight Cutting Swordsmanship, Su Yi still insisted on going his own way.

He even had a very unpleasant quarrel with Chen Shi because of this, and the two would quarrel whenever they met for a few days.

The contradiction between the warriors is ultimately the truth.

With Su Yi's rapid progress every day, Chen Shi's consistent philosophy and cognition were severely overturned.

He began to try to let go of his prejudices, and tried to understand and think about Su Yi's changes to the eight-cutting sword technique.

To Chen Shi's shock and panic, he found that Su Yi was right!
Except for a small number of improvements that were flawed and flawed, most of the moves were improved and recombined by Su Yi, and their power was doubled, playing a more threatening role.

Moreover, according to Su Yi's theory, according to Su Yi's practice method, everyone should have different rhythms and styles in the eight-cut sword technique, which undoubtedly makes this "standard" knife technique a more suitable one. There is no need to repeat the benefits of "private customization" played by individuals.

This made Chen Shi feel very painful and conflicted.

On the one hand, he couldn't lie to himself, knowing that Su Yi's improvement of the eight-cutting sword technique was the right way, which also meant that Su Yi's martial arts philosophy represented the future.

But on the other hand, Su Yi changed the Ba Zhan Dao beyond recognition, even the most fundamental martial arts, and the Yong character Ba Fa disappeared. Can such a saber technique be called the Ba Zhan Dao?
The original eight-slashing sword method is the realm of culture, philosophy, martial arts and life in martial arts.

But now the eight-cut knife improved by Su Yi, nothing exists, like a wild dog hunting, like a cheetah hunting, all the beauty and charm are gone, and some can only kill, kill, and kill again at all costs!
Well, a sword technique with deep connotations was modified by Su Yi to be so utilitarian and ugly...

This was the fundamental reason why Chen Shi could not accept it.

This is the fundamental contradiction and essential conflict between the modern utilitarian concept and the ancient martial arts pursuit of self-cultivation.

This conflict is irreconcilable, either one or the other.

It's kind of like "heresy".

In the battle of ideas, "heresy" is an existence that should be eliminated more than "heretics".

When Su Yi first started arguing with Chen Shi, he couldn't understand Chen Shi's thinking, and felt that he was pedantic, conservative, and didn't know how to adapt.

He even guessed maliciously that Chen Shi had a mentality of sour grapes. He couldn't see that his martial arts concepts were more scientific and advanced, and he refused to admit his backwardness and failure, so he became angry from embarrassment.

But as the debate between the two deepened, Su Yi gradually got to know Chen Shi, understood the contradictions in Chen Shi's heart, and realized that it was a villain's heart to think so.

The core conflict between the two lies in whether martial arts, as long as they can fight, should be enough?

If martial arts loses its state, loses its philosophical thinking, loses its humanistic and even artistic pursuits, then wouldn't martial arts become vulgar again?

So for martial arts, is it progress or regress?
Even Su Yi couldn't answer this question.

From the current point of view, even from the perspective of Su Yi's era, Su Yi's approach is undoubtedly correct.

But what if the breadth of this question covers thousands of years, or even ten thousand years?
No one knows what martial arts, which contains the realm of philosophy, humanities and arts, will be sublimated into.

But martial arts that are purely for killing people must be martial arts even if they have been for thousands of years.

10,000 years is too long, seize the day!
Facing Chen Shi's questioning again, Su Yi couldn't help but sighed, and said, "Brother, do you regret teaching me?"

Chen Shi was stunned for a moment.

He had thought that Su Yi would argue seriously with him as before.

But unexpectedly, Su Yi actually asked him such a question this time.

Regret?
If Su Yi did not teach Wing Chun, Wing Chun would not be "spoiled" beyond recognition.

But if Su Yi doesn't teach Wing Chun, Wing Chun will be defeated by Su Yi who has learned other kung fu.

Chen Shi shook his head resolutely, and said, "I don't regret teaching you."

As if for emphasis, he said it again: "I don't regret teaching you."

"Since senior brother doesn't regret it, then don't ask right or wrong." Su Yi smiled, "If senior brother really thinks that my sword technique shouldn't be called Ba Zhandao, my boxing technique shouldn't be called Xiao Nian Tou and Xunqiao. It doesn’t matter to Biaozhi, just call it another name. As long as I am a Wing Chun person, no matter what kind of kung fu I practice, this kung fu belongs to Wing Chun.”

Chen Shi was a little moved, he heard Su Yi's ambition.

As a younger brother, he actually has the ambition to be called the ancestor of Taoism!
But he really has the potential and the qualifications!
After being silent for a while, Chen Shi looked at Su Yi and said seriously: "Junior brother, from now on, I will not argue with you, and I will teach you all the kung fu of Wing Chun."

"If one day, your boxing skills are great, I will support you to set up another family..."

Seeing that Su Yi was about to speak, Chen Shi stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "I know what you're going to say, Junior Brother, you want to say that you were born a Wing Chun man and died a Wing Chun ghost, right?"

"Yes." Su Yi nodded, although he didn't say that, but that's what he wanted to express.

Since there are Xiaoniantou, Xunqiao, Biaozhi and Ba Zhan Dao in Wing Chun School, I don't mind adding another mixed martial arts and Geng-style sword technique born out of Ba Zhan Dao.

Since he chose Wing Chun, he is ready to let his martial arts and Wing Chun develop together.

He didn't intend to throw away Wing Chun after he finished using it. It's not in his character to throw it away like a shoe.

But Chen Shi obviously didn't see it that way.

He said: "If you really come to the day when the sect is founded, it will be good for you and Wing Chun if you leave Wing Chun. But if you stay in Wing Chun, the world will only know you, Geng Liangchen, instead of Wing Chun. I know Wing Chun."
