After fighting twice in the Taekwondo Hall with black belt Li Feng, fourth degree, and Liu Wenjun, sixth degree, Wang Chao has a new understanding and comprehension of his boxing skills, especially the skills of listening to the movements of people through the pores and touching the center of gravity in Tai Chi power, which has added a lot of experience in actual combat.
After fighting twice in the Taekwondo Hall with black belt Li Feng, fourth degree, and Liu Wenjun, sixth degree, Wang Chao has a new understanding and comprehension of his boxing skills, especially the skills of listening to the movements of people through the pores and touching the center of gravity in Tai Chi power, which has added a lot of experience in actual combat.
Now it is the winter vacation again. A year has passed, but Wang Chao has undergone earth-shaking changes.
A year ago, he was just an ordinary high school student with an introverted personality and no name, but a year later, he has become a master of boxing and has stepped into the senior white-collar industry with an annual salary of 500,000 yuan. All this is what he dared not imagine before.
Wang Chao knew that the reason for such achievements was due to his accidental encounter with Tang Zichen, and then under her patient and strict training, he became what he is now.
Unfortunately, the beauty who was both his teacher and sister had already floated away on the water, like the goddess of Luoshui, and like a sword fairy.
Whenever Wang Chao recalled that summer evening, when the sun set and the night fell, and Tang Zichen stood on the water, he felt that it was so ethereal and traceless, just like a real dream.
Only in the process of trying hard to explore boxing did he feel that the scene was completely real, but every time his boxing improved, his longing for Tang Zichen increased. In the end, he even had an impulse to immediately search the ends of the earth to find the other party to express his longing.
But he knew that all this was unrealistic. As early as before, from Tang Zichen's words, it could be vaguely seen that she came from abroad, and what she did was very dangerous and mysterious. Not to mention that Wang Chao doesn't have the money and strength to go abroad now, even if he did, how could he find a place in such a vast world?
Wang Chao also wanted to check the information of buying houses in Tianxing Lake Community to find some clues, but Tianxing Community is full of rich and powerful people, and the information is not open at all. Moreover, the headquarters of this real estate company is a super large company abroad. With his current power, he can't get the information from inside.
There is no other way. The only thing Wang Chao can do now is to recall Tang Zichen's life and boxing skills, and find the vivid shadow of Tang Zichen from it to offset his longing.
"Besides, even if I meet Sister Chen now, my boxing skills are still a long way from reaching the level of spiritual power. How can I help her? Every time I fight, I can learn a lot from it. It seems that boxing skills still rely on actual combat. It's a pity that although I am a top coach in the Taekwondo gym, I haven't met anyone who came to challenge me in the past few days?"
Having tasted the sweetness in several actual fights, Wang Chao is eager to have more actual fights to improve his boxing skills, preferably with masters. It's a pity that it has been almost ten days since he signed the contract, and he hasn't met anyone who challenged him.
However, he goes to the gym for a few laps every day, and sometimes he also exchanges with other black belt coaches.
It's a pity that those coaches are not his opponents at all now. Since he has understood Tai Chi listening to the power, every time he fights with these coaches, after a few rounds, Wang Chao touches the center of gravity of the opponent and throws him out.
However, this kind of trial made Wang Chao gradually understand the connection between the various nerves and muscles and bones in the human body more thoroughly.
After a few days, the coaches of this Taekwondo gym were afraid of Wang Chao. When they saw him coming, they found excuses to get out of the way. Although the floor of the fighting venue was soft and carpeted, it was not a pleasant thing to be thrown down. Moreover, Wang Chao's throwing people down was not an ordinary wrestling trip, but the power of the palm of the back, the whole body spine, abdomen, waist, legs, shoulders, all adjusted to exert force, and the people who were thrown out often flew into the air and then fell heavily.
This looked very exciting to outsiders, but the people who were thrown down were naturally miserable.
Like Li Feng, the three female coaches also burst into tears after being thrown down once after trying their hands with Wang Chao.
However, Li Feng disappeared, as if he had resigned and left, and never appeared in the gym again.
"Could this guy learn from a gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, and find a place to practice hard?" Wang Chao mostly figured out Li Feng's thoughts.
Without actual fighting, it is not pleasant after all. Although the Taekwondo Hall is good at commercial packaging, it is full of beautiful waitresses, and some waitresses are college students working part-time. Most of the men who come to the gym to learn are here for these beautiful girls. Although Wang Chao is now seventeen or eighteen years old, it is also the age of falling in love, which is an age that is extremely sensitive to girls, but he has no feelings for those girls. First, he has Tang Zichen, the "Fairy Sister". Second, he is addicted to boxing. He practices boxing and boxing spirits everywhere, and has no time to worry about other things.
Because there is no fighting, Wang Chao stopped going to the gym after more than ten days, but lived in Tang Zichen's villa, practicing boxing every day, and also found some national martial arts materials to read and increase his knowledge.
Guoshu was in its golden age in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. At that time, Sun Yat-sen, Feng Yuxiang and other leaders advocated the vigorous development of boxing to strengthen the country and the race. Once the government supported it, the activities naturally flourished. In the more than 100 years, many top masters emerged.
However, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, after many movements, the inheritance of Guoshu has been cut off, resulting in the current decline of talents.
"Confucianism disrupts the law with literature, and knights violate the ban with martial arts. There are many knights in troubled times, and in a peaceful world, knights become mobs. Boxing that kills and defeats the enemy must flourish in troubled times and must be silent in a peaceful world. This is an unbreakable truth throughout the ages."
After reading some Guoshu materials, Wang Chao continued to meet many senior masters and understood some of the principles.
Holding a book "Bagua Boxing" in his hand, Wang Chao studied it carefully. When he read a chapter "Yanghuo Yin Fu Style", Wang Chao was deeply impressed by the practice of Baguazhang in it, combined with his own experience and ideas.
Each time Baguazhang strikes out, there must be two kinds of strength, one is the bright strength, which is called Yanghuo, and the other is the dark strength, which is called Yinfu. The bright strength requires all six Yangs, that is, the hands, feet, waist, legs, spine, and head, all of which must cooperate, while the dark strength requires all six Yins, that is, the heart, mind, qi, spirit, five internal organs, and meridians must also cooperate.
The content of this "Baguaquanxue" is the work of Mr. Sun Lutang, the highest achievement of martial arts in the Republic of China. Most of it uses Taoist terminology to explain boxing. The words are profound and there is no specific practice method. Only those who have a certain foundation and understand the terminology can understand it after careful study and combining their own experience.
"It is true that there is no passage without a classic, and there is no master without a classic." After reading this "Baguaquanxue", Wang Chao read "Xingyi Xuzhen" and then consulted some other masters' works, and sighed in his heart.
A knowledge of truth cannot be passed down without books, but books alone, without the guidance of a master, are useless if one knows the facts but not the reasons.
It was with Tang Zichen's previous teachings that Wang Chao could understand some of the truths and experiences mentioned in those books.
After consulting some materials and reading the books, Wang Chao felt that his boxing skills seemed to have improved. He went to the basement behind the villa and jumped on the water tank to perform a set of Baguazhang. Sure enough, he felt much smoother than usual. His steps turned flat and steady on the edge of the tank. His palms flew like leaves swept by the wind, opening and closing. There was even a bit of Xingyiquan's fierce attack in the thief's slipperyness.
"If I smear the edges of these water tanks with clear oil and then go up to fight, will I slip?"
As he was fighting, Wang Chao suddenly thought of a way to train himself better.
He did it right away. He immediately ran to the kitchen, took a bucket of cooking oil, poured it out, and carefully smeared it on the edges of the water tanks with a rag until the oil was smooth. Wang Chao took off his shoes, stepped on it barefoot and carefully.
Sure enough, the water tanks covered with oil were incredibly slippery. As soon as he stepped on it, Wang Chao felt unstable and his feet slipped violently. With a slight movement, he immediately slid down with a bang.
Fortunately, he had a certain foundation in leg skills. When he fell, he flipped in the air and landed steadily on the ground, avoiding the result of falling.
"Good, challenging!" Wang Chao was not only not frustrated, but also full of joy. He jumped up again. This time, he used his legs to his toes, his five fingers were like hooks, and he held the edge of the tank tightly. The muscles of his calves were tense, and he was extremely careful.
It must be said that the leg skills he practiced in daily life have worked. While walking slowly, Wang Chao actually mastered the power of slipping, and his steps were somewhat stable.
After walking for two days, Wang Chao fell more than ten times at the beginning, but he fell less and less as he went on.
Gradually, he felt the strength of his feet, and gradually, he walked faster and faster on the edge of the oil-coated tank, which was no different from when he was not oiled.
"Can I hit the sandbag here again?" Wang Chao challenged a more difficult height.
Bang! Wang Chao hit the sandbag high with one palm, but he was also shaken by the recoil force and his feet slipped. He quickly changed his feet to keep his balance. But his body hit another sandbag, and finally, he was knocked down the water tank by the force of the sandbag's rebound.
It must be said that the water tank was covered with oil, and this way of practicing boxing was ten times or a hundred times more difficult than before.
As a result, Wang Chao returned to the scene of frequent falls when practicing boxing before, but this time there was no Tang Zichen watching him.
However, Wang Chao now has a small success in internal strength, abundant physical strength, and his control over his body is incomparable to before. The continuous falls did not cause any damage to his body.
This went on for another half a month. Apart from eating and resting every day, Wang Chao spent the rest of his time practicing boxing on the water tank. In addition to Baguazhang, he also practiced Xingyi and Dragon Snake Combination.
Gradually, every time Wang Chao turned his body, his feet felt slippery, and he punched the sandbag, then adjusted his strength to maintain balance, and kept his eyes and ears open to see the impact of the sandbag. He fell less and less, and his reaction became more and more agile. In the process of adjusting his strength to maintain balance, he unconsciously used various body movements of the twelve forms.
In the end, Wang Chao felt that he was turning and twisting, and the joints and muscles of various parts of his body seemed to be twisted into one, and he felt a sense of transparency all over his body.
"Aha, this is a phenomenon that can only occur after the strength is straightened out and practiced thoroughly. This is already close to the upper level of Ming Jin."
A winter vacation passed quickly. During the Chinese New Year, Wang Chao was addicted to boxing and only went home once. He gave his parents 5,000 yuan, saying that he earned it by working part-time, which made his parents excited for a long time.
By the last few days of the winter vacation, Wang Chao had practiced on the oil-covered water tank for more than a month. In the last few days, no matter what movements he made, he never fell again.
When he was on the ground, Wang Chao felt very comfortable. He exerted force casually, and a clear and crisp sound came out.
When the strength is practiced thoroughly, the strength of all parts of the body is twisted into one, and there will be such a crisp sound.
"Why is there no one to challenge during this winter vacation?" The winter vacation will end tomorrow. When Wang Chao was about to go home, suddenly, a loud ringtone was uploaded on his mobile phone.
He answered the phone, and Li Wanji's cold voice was still heard: "Come to the gym quickly!" Wang Chao knew something must have happened, so he immediately turned off the phone, got a taxi, and rushed to the gym. In the past two months, Li Wanji paid wages on time and never owed them. Wang Chao naturally didn't want to neglect her.
