Martial Arts Song

Chapter 3 Talent
"The purpose of boxing and kicking martial arts was to fight with others!"

"Wherever there are people, there will be disputes, and when there are disputes, there will be fights. And in the constant battles, people gradually created various fists and kicks."

"The inspiration for these fist and kick martial arts basically comes from life. According to legend, in the primitive period, humans and beasts coexisted. People without fangs and claws were hunted by wild beasts for a long time. Under the constant threat of death, some people learned to use Weapons and tools fight back, while some people choose to imitate the natural enemies of the corresponding beasts to fight back.”

"Boxing and kicking martial arts are born out of these two."

"So you will see that many martial arts schools are named after the shapes of various animals. The reason is that the fists and kicks are derived from imitating the animals."

Yang Ming first briefly talked about the origin of boxing and kicking skills, and then said with a smile: "For example, our tiger-shaped door is a boxing technique derived from the ancestors imitating the tiger."

"Imitate the tiger..."

Chen Qing listened intently.

He had also heard that many boxing techniques in previous lives were imitated from animals, such as Xingyi Quan, Tongbei Quan, Wu Qin Xi, etc.

After Yang Ming said this, he paused and then continued: "As for the ultimate essence of boxing and martial arts, it is actually to strengthen the body!"

"Physical fitness……"

Hearing this answer, Chen Qing showed a thoughtful look on his face, but he was not surprised.

In the world of previous lives, competitive sports involving physical contests such as boxing and wrestling were divided into different weight classes.

Different body weights have completely different strengths and resistance to blows.

As the saying goes, one force can bring down ten.

The premise of a skills contest is based on the same physical fitness. Otherwise, if one party can't even withstand the opponent's punch, what's the point of competing?

Therefore, Chen Qing understood very well what Yang Ming said about strengthening his body.

"You don't seem surprised. Have you heard of this theory before?"

Seeing that there was no surprise on Chen Qing's face, Yang Ming was surprised and asked.

Chen Qing heard this and replied with a smile: "No, but when I was shining people's shoes, I was often blackmailed by the gangsters on the Grand Cross Street. I tried to resist, but they were stronger than me and I couldn't beat them. And I observed that they only dared to blackmail people who were about my age and size, but not those who were stronger, so I understood this very early."

"I see."

Hearing Chen Qing's answer, Yang Ming nodded clearly, and then said with a smile: "After you have strengthened your body this year, those gangsters will not dare to blackmail you again."

"Then I will be troublesome for Senior Brother Yang Ming this year."

Chen Qing thanked him sincerely.

He did not question the one year mentioned by the other party. As a health expert, he knew that a year of consistent exercise could indeed make the body "strong".

"Don't be too quick to thank me. Whether you can get results from your practice ultimately depends on yourself. All I can do is teach you how to practice."

Yang Ming shook his head and said: "Okay, no more nonsense. Now that you know the origin and essence of boxing and kicking, I will teach you the basic training method of my 'Tiger-shaped Boxing', 'Tiger Step'!" "

After saying that, Yang Ming also straightened his posture.

I saw his hands raised, left high and right low, left front and right back. The high hand was parallel to the face, and the low hand was located at the waist.

At the same time, he kept his right foot still and took a step back with his left foot. His whole body showed a posture of slightly squatting to exert force, which could both retreat and defend.

"Boxing and kicking martial arts are divided into training methods and fighting methods. As the name suggests, training methods are methods to increase the strength of muscles and bones in all aspects of the body, and fighting methods are methods for hitting people when fighting."

Yang Ming maintained his open posture and explained: "Beginners must first learn the training method, because only by practicing the body first can you be qualified to learn to hit others. Otherwise, it won't hurt if you hit others, and you will be hit by others if they hit you." If you have to live or die, no matter how many tricks you learn, it’s just a joke. Watch out!"

Following the words, Yang Ming's body was seen moving.

Yang Ming's feet were stepped forward, and his figure twisted and undulated, starting to walk in a circle with Chen Qing as the center.

At the same time, his raised hands alternated between high and low, back and forth, and his fingers were bent into a claw shape.

There was no quickness or bravery, but slow movements, similar to the group of teenagers walking around the pile in the front yard. The only difference was that there was no pile in front of Yang Ming, or in other words, he regarded Chen Qing as a pile.

"Is this the 'Tiger Step'?"

Chen Qing looked at Yang Ming's movements around him, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Can such soft walking really exercise and improve physical fitness?
As soon as this doubt arose in his mind, he soon noticed a detail.

Yang Ming has a strong body with obvious muscle lines. Whether it is intentional to show off or to show off his image in front of the teenagers in the front yard, he wears a mandarin jacket with cut sleeves, exposing his strong arms.

Chen Qing noticed that although Yang Ming was slowly moving around his body, the tendons in his arms were sometimes as tight as strings, sometimes hidden under the skin, with obvious fluctuations.

All of this is caused by the opponent's raised hands alternating, the five fingers bending and pinching the claws.

Seeing this scene, Chen Qing tried to imitate the opponent with his hand hidden in his sleeve, bending his fingers into a claw shape, and suddenly! He felt the muscles on the back of his hand tighten instantly, and the muscles on his entire arm straightened as a result!
In an instant, Chen Qing suddenly realized.

This simple movement almost mobilizes the strength of the entire arm. It is similar to clenching fists and lifting dumbbells for anaerobic exercise in the previous life. It can indeed play a role in exercise.

At this moment, Yang Ming, who was walking around, also started to explain: "This is the basic training method of my 'Tiger-Shaped Gate', 'Tiger Stance'. You may not look at me like I am taking a walk, but in fact, it exercises almost all of my body." Up and down, the key to this lies in the claws of my hands!"

"What's the biggest feature of a tiger? It's its claws!"

"The tiger-shaped boxing was born out of imitating the tiger, and the 'tiger step' is imitating the tiger's movement when hunting!"

"When a tiger hunts, it will first walk around the prey in the distance, waiting for an opportunity to move. Therefore, with every step, the four tiger claws are in a state that can drive the power of the whole body and explode at any time."

"So, the point of 'Tiger Step' is not to walk around, but when walking around, our hands and feet should be like tigers, in a state that can drive the power of the whole body and explode at any time. Do you understand?"

At the end, Yang Ming looked at Chen Qing and said.

When Chen Qing heard this, his eyes looked thoughtful for a moment, then he nodded.

Seeing this, Yang Ming stopped saying anything and continued to walk around Chen Qing with "tiger steps".

Chen Qing didn't say anything anymore and watched Yang Ming's movements intently.

About five minutes later.

Yang Ming slowly stopped his movements, straightened up, and said to Chen Qing: "Okay, I've finished the demonstration. Now it's you, just treat me as your prey. Practice it first. I'll be there if anything goes wrong." I will remind you when the time comes.”

"it is good."

Chen Qing did not refuse and responded loudly.

He had almost memorized Yang Ming's movements just now, and the next step was to practice.

I saw that he first distanced himself from Yang Ming, and then followed Yang Ming's previous steps, raising his hands, left high and right low, left front and right back, and at the same time took a step behind his left foot, assuming a slight squat posture to exert force. .

As he opened his posture, Chen Qing noticed that the three values ​​​​of [Essence], [Qi], and [Shen] in his left eye also started to beat.

However, Chen Qing didn't care about the last two-digit jump.

After all, as long as he is still breathing, the last two digits of the three values ​​​​are always beating.

However, when Chen Qing took steps, undulated his body, began to walk around Yang Ming, and bent the five fingers of his hands to form tiger claws, only the last two values ​​of [Essence] and [Qi] were beating in his eyes, and the third from the bottom Suddenly it started to beat too!
【Fine】Increase! 【Qi】Reduce!

The two are diametrically opposed.

"This is……"

Chen Qing was stunned and stopped moving. As his movements stopped, the beating of the third-to-last digit of the two values ​​also stopped.

But at this moment, Chen Qing's heart started beating loudly!
"It's actually possible to do this..."

The three values ​​​​of awakening in the eyes do not seem to be completely useless...

Chen Qing suppressed some excitement and continued to practice "Tiger Step".

This time, he was fully focused, focusing all his attention on his movements and the three values ​​​​in his eyes.

I saw him take a step forward, and after landing, his five toes clasped inward to grasp.

In an instant, the tendons on the instep of his foot collapsed, causing the entire leg to exert force.

Almost at the same time, the two values ​​​​of [Essence] and [Qi] in his eyes, and the third value from the bottom started to jump again!
But this time, Chen Qing did not stop. He continued to practice the "Tiger Step" movement he just memorized. He alternated the height of his hands back and forth, bent his fingers to pinch his claws, and kept circling around Yang Ming in accordance with the ups and downs of his body.

In an instant, the third-to-last digit of the [Essence] and [Qi] values ​​in his eyes began to beat crazily!
【Fine】Increase! 【Qi】Reduce!

However, his movements were not standard. The third-to-last digit of these two values ​​sometimes jumped quickly, sometimes slowly.

Chen Qing, who realized this, corrected his practiced movements by referring to the third-to-last numerical beating speed of [Essence] and [Qi] under his eyes.

With the specific numerical reference, he remembered the feeling of the crazy numerical beating after only a few corrections. Then, while he began to try to maintain it, an idea came to his mind.

Is this really the fastest?
……

outside world.

Yang Ming folded his arms around his chest, motionless, standing in the middle courtyard like a wooden stake, looking flatly at Chen Qing, who was slowly moving.

When he saw Chen Qingyou take a step and then stop, he said nothing.

When Chen Qing continued to practice, but his movements were very non-standard, he still said nothing.

Because this is our teaching method.

After the student has practiced it again, point out specific shortcomings and ask the other party to correct them.

This process takes a long time, because the shortcomings cannot be corrected at once by the other party - this is why the young students in the front yard need the two of them to keep an eye on them every day.

Yang Ming looked at Chen Qing and was ready to point out all the non-standard aspects of the other students after Chen Qing finished the drill just like he taught other students.

However, after a moment.

"Ok?"

Yang Ming raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of ripples in his dull eyes.

Because he discovered that Chen Qing's drills, after being non-standard in the early stage, began to become more standard later on!

And, it’s becoming more and more standard!

When the drill came to an end, he was surprised to find that he could no longer find anything wrong with Chen Qing's movements!
This filled his eyes with surprise.

"How can this be……"

However, just when Yang Ming was surprised, Chen Qing, who had finished practicing the "Tiger Step" once, did not stop, but directly started the second practice!

At this time, Chen Qing was completely immersed in the "Tiger Step" drill.

And in this drill, his movements from the beginning were extremely standard!
Of course, the connection of movements is still a bit stiff.

However, with the continuous practice this second time, his movements gradually began to become more proficient based on the standard.

Soon, the second drill ended.

Proficient and standard.

This time, Yang Ming still didn't speak, but unlike before, this time he was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

In his surprised speechlessness, Chen Qing started the drill again for the third time.

This time, it was skillful and standard.

Then, the fourth time, the fifth time, the sixth time...

Over and over again, over and over again.

Chen Qing's movements became more and more skillful.

Yang Ming looked a little numb.

at the same time.

"Huh?" "Eh?"

Two soft murmurs sounded from the archway where the backyard and the middle courtyard met.

He Xihong and Huang Xunhu, who were standing here to observe, had a look of surprise on their faces at the same time.

"What an amazing talent!"

Huang Xunhu sighed: "From the obvious unfamiliarity at the beginning, it can be seen that this boy has never practiced the 'Tiger Step', but after just a few movements, his movements gradually moved closer to the standards of A Ming's drill. By the end of the first pass , it has become standard, with such a sense of martial arts... Ah Hong, where did you find this kid? Is he really the little shoemaker from the Grand Cross Street? "

"I did meet him over at Grand Cross Street."

He Xihong nodded and replied: "Master, you also knew about my situation just now. After fighting with people from the West Continent, I suffered from the sequelae of cognitive impairment. After I came back, I wanted to try to find my way by myself, but in the end I failed. During this period, I met two hooligans and this little shoemaker."

After saying that, she looked at Chen Qing who was practicing "Tiger Step" in the middle courtyard, her eyes were filled with surprise, curiosity, and a hint of vigilance: "I didn't expect this little shoemaker to have such a talent. It was really too much of a coincidence. After a while, I’ll investigate his background.”

"You'd better have a good rest. I'll arrange the investigation. Don't worry."

Huang Xunhu shook his head and said: "Although A Ming has practiced well, he can only learn the form and not be proud of it. Even if this kid is inserted by others, he will not learn any real skills..."

Before he finished speaking, suddenly!

"Roar!"

A roar suddenly came from the middle courtyard, like a tiger or a leopard! Full of wildness!
In the middle courtyard, Yang Ming, who was acting as a human stake, was caught off guard and fell to the ground in panic. He stared at Chen Qing with a frightened expression: "You, what were you doing just now?!"

The second the howling broke out, he really felt like he was being watched with eager eyes!
As for He Xihong and Huang Xunhu at the arch, their eyes suddenly shrank almost at the same time.

Complete in form and meaning!

How can this be? !
　The new book sets sail, with three updates on the first day. Also, there is something to be said.

　　The book "Super Dimensional Killing" allowed me to explore a new way of writing books, so I thought I was right and abandoned the writing method I was good at before the new writing method was fully summarized. This led to the continuous failure of the following two books. Then he was depressed for a while.

　　This book is a return to the original intention. I hope everyone will like and support it.

　　The update time is tentatively set to be one chapter, or two chapters, of four to five thousand words per day. Specifically, one chapter or two chapters, depending on the continuity of the plot, whether it is suitable to publish them together or separately.

　　Well, that's pretty much it.
