At this moment, my mother pulled me to the side and whispered, "Long'er, what is that old man Huang doing? He's so strange!"
I smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you? He's a friend of mine.
This time, I asked him to come over to teach me … to teach me martial arts. "
My mother frowned and said, "Martial arts?
What martial arts?
It can't be, right? "
I smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, what are you thinking? It's a matter of the last century.
It's like this, I want to participate in a competition. This Master Huang was specially invited by our leader to teach me. He's an important guest. "
My mother seemed to understand and said, "That old man disappeared early in the morning. I don't know where he went.
Right, when I woke up this morning, I found him on our roof. He sat there for an hour. "My mother said as she pointed at the roof of the west wing.
Our roof was a plank, so it could cool down in the summer. But why did he go on the roof in such a cold day?
This was a question that my mother couldn't understand.
I just smiled back.
Then, I wanted to take You Meng to see Master Huang. You Meng happily agreed.
But just as we were about to turn the car around, we saw Master Huang leisurely coming back.
You Meng asked sweetly, "Grandpa Huang, what did you do?"
Grandpa Huang said expressionlessly, "I went to the Yellow River Beach for a walk."
You Meng was puzzled and asked, "Why did you go to the Yellow River Beach?"
Grandpa Huang didn't answer and went straight back to his room.
He was so indifferent to my matter!
You Meng pouted and said to herself, "What a strange old man!"
I walked into Grandpa Huang's bedroom and saw him sitting on a chair reading a book.
He didn't even raise his head when I entered and pretended not to see me.
I opened my mouth first and said, "Master Huang, I've done everything you asked me to do."
I thought Grandpa Huang would ask about my achievements, but I didn't expect him to just say indifferently, "I know." Then, he didn't say anything else.
I pinched my nose and said, "Then, then can you accept me as your disciple now?"
Grandpa Huang flipped a page of his book and looked straight ahead. "What's wrong? Wasn't what I said earlier obvious enough?"
I pondered for a long time before I finally understood. It seemed that Grandpa Huang had already accepted it.
It wasn't easy.
I hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, excitedly saying, "Master, this disciple greets you!"
Only after saying it out loud did I realize how ridiculous I sounded. I had never formally become a disciple before, so I didn't know anything about the etiquette of becoming a disciple. I could only use what I saw on TV to become a disciple for my own use.
Grandpa Huang nodded expressionlessly, stood up, and closed the book.
"Come with me!" Grandpa Huang said as he walked out of the house.
I chased after him and asked, "Where are you going, Master?"
Grandpa Huang didn't say anything and walked straight out of the door.
I followed behind him in surprise, unable to relax my brows.
I had to accept my fate to have such a strange master.
Grandpa Huang's legs were quite nimble. In the blink of an eye, he quickly walked to the shore of the Yellow River.
Grandpa Huang stopped at the shore and turned around to look at me.
I smiled in confusion and said, "Master Huang, why did you bring me here?"
Grandpa Huang clasped his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "This place isn't bad. It's a good place to practice martial arts."
I walked closer and agreed, "Yes, it is."
Grandpa Huang faced the Yellow River and stared at it for a long time.
The Yellow River in November was in its' gentle period '. Without the roar of summer, the river flowed very quietly. The soft sound of water, the wide river, and the surrounding withered grass and trees merged together to create a scene of late autumn.
Grandpa Huang suddenly said, "Tell me about your gains from challenging the martial arts schools."
I was startled. Then, I also stared at the Yellow River with Grandpa Huang and said, "I gained a lot.
Before this, I rarely exchanged pointers with martial artists from different sects. But today, it seems that whether it's Taekwondo, Muay Thai, or Karate, they all have something worth learning.
For example, Taekwondo's leg techniques are very good and fast. It's hard to guard against them. Muay Thai's moves are very fierce, and the strength of their elbow and knee attacks is shocking … "
Grandpa Huang nodded slightly as he listened. When I finished, he added, "This time, you're going to a world-class competition. The participants will definitely be a gathering of experts. Every country, every sect, and every country will have their own experts.
However, the people you challenged today are not top-notch experts. The reason I asked you to do this is to let you have a preliminary understanding of these types of martial arts.
You still have a lot to learn, a lot.
For the next step, I'm going to teach you the advantages and disadvantages of the famous types of martial arts in the world, as well as the essence of Mr. Bruce Lee's martial arts. There isn't much time, so I hope you can understand Director Huang's good intentions. Use the shortest amount of time to achieve the best results. "
I quickly nodded and said, "Yes.
I'll definitely do my best! "
Grandpa Huang nodded again. Then, he began to talk about the origins and characteristics of the different types of martial arts in the world, "Let's talk about Taekwondo first!
Taekwondo is a special type of martial arts. It's the third type of martial arts to enter the Olympic Games.
Its biggest advantage is its leg techniques. It's famous for its speed and determination.
Taekwondo actually absorbs the ideas of fencing. It emphasizes stopping when it's appropriate and pushes the attack and defense of leg techniques to a whole new level.
Although there are many people in the industry who think that Taekwondo is just for show and not for actual combat, there's no doubt that Taekwondo's influence on the international scene is getting bigger and bigger. A high-level Taekwondo expert can display the attack and defense of leg techniques to perfection. At the same time, they also have a strong combat ability. "
After Grandpa Huang finished speaking, he raised his leg and performed a few Taekwondo leg movements. They were as fast as lightning and could be used as he wished.
I almost fell into a daze.
Grandpa Huang continued, "But the biggest weakness of Taekwondo, which is also the one that limits the development of Taekwondo, is that it only focuses on technique and not strength.
Strength is one of the most important factors in combat. Only by combining strength and technique can one reach a higher level of combat … "
I nodded as I listened. Then, Grandpa Huang continued, "Let's talk about Karate.
Karate is a mainstream martial arts in Japan. It's famous for its fierce front kicks and its ever-changing hand blades.
Karate was the first to invent the "stop when you're in front of the opponent" competition, which greatly increased the safety of the competition. To a certain extent, Karate and Taekwondo have a lot in common. They both have outstanding leg techniques.
However, Karate focuses on strength training. The Karate expert, Beida Yamamoto, can squat 611kg and bench press 148kg. He trained his legs to be super strong.
Beida Yamamoto once blew up the "Karate Whirlwind" in the United States. The Kyokushin Kai he founded was once known as the strongest leg technique in the world.
However, when things reach an extreme, they will move in the opposite direction. Karate is not proficient in boxing techniques, and its characteristics determine its own limitations … "
After Grandpa Huang finished speaking, he also improvised a few Karate moves. They were as fast as the wind and as fast as lightning.
Listening to Grandpa Huang's introduction, I felt my blood boil.
As a Chinese martial arts fanatic, I felt my understanding of the world's martial arts was shallow. At the same time, I was excited by Grandpa Huang's exquisite analysis.
For me, Grandpa Huang's words were a huge treasure.
Grandpa Huang changed the topic and continued, "Although Karate is powerful, it entered an unprecedented predicament with the appearance of a fist technique.
This fist technique is Muay Thai!
Karate and Muay Thai have been fighting for decades. In the end, Karate suffered a crushing defeat. Many Karate fighters were knocked unconscious by Muay Thai style sweeping kicks and even had their arms broken. They lost again and again.
Muay Thai is a legendary fighting technique that occupies an important position in the world.
Muay Thai was born out of Siamese martial arts. Its roots are China's southern martial arts.
Muay Thai is known as "Five Hundred Years of Invincibility". Even today, it is still the most destructive fighting technique.
Muay Thai is known as the "Eight Leg Movement". Its fist techniques are not outstanding, but it has fierce knee and elbow techniques, as well as abnormally fierce leg techniques.
Muay Thai's signature technique is the sweeping kick. The sweeping kick has caused many fighters to die under the iron leg. There have been countless people who have had their arms broken, legs broken, and even fatal.
Muay Thai's strength training method is rather unique. It emphasizes endurance training and requires the entire body to concentrate every strike … Muay Thai's training is extremely difficult. An outstanding Muay Thai fighter's resistance is unimaginable. "
Then, Grandpa Huang performed a few more fierce elbows and knees. His movements were quick and accurate, and his movements were smooth and seamless.
Grandpa Huang continued, "However, Muay Thai also has a weakness. The fatal weakness of Muay Thai is the fighter's lack of understanding of throwing techniques and joint reversal techniques.
And China's martial arts specialize in throwing techniques and joint reversal techniques. This is the most effective weapon to restrain Muay Thai experts. "
"Finally, let's talk about boxing. Boxing is considered the most 'civilized' fighting style in the world, and is also one of the first popular fighting techniques to enter the Olympic Games.
Its biggest advantage is its strength. Professional boxers place a lot of emphasis on extreme strength training. Many professional boxers have astonishing strength, killing a cow with one punch isn't just a myth.
Professional boxers generally have astonishing strength in their waist and legs. When they punch, they concentrate all the strength in their body into a single point on their fist. It can be released in an instant, and has extremely strong destructive power. "
I was extremely engrossed in listening. Grandpa Huang had a very detailed understanding of the various fighting techniques in the world. When he demonstrated the movements, his fists were also vigorous and powerful.
"What I just said are the most popular fighting techniques in the world. In addition, Judo, Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Aikido, Kickboxing, and so on are also quite competitive. I'll slowly mention them to you in the future."
After Grandpa Huang finished speaking, he began to focus on Bruce Lee's martial arts: "Mr. Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do is the summary and application of various martial arts in the world. In terms of technique, 'punches are two points, kicks are eight points'. In terms of strength, the waist and the horse are one. It places emphasis on strength training, and emphasizes explosive power and adaptability.
Bruce Lee was called 'Super Kick' in the United States, and the American martial arts world said that he could 'kick the sky to pieces'.
However, when Bruce Lee first started practicing martial arts, he rarely used leg techniques. After he strengthened his leg techniques, he quickly surpassed the Taekwondo Karate players who were famous for their leg techniques.
This shows that as long as you have a strong foundation of strength and technique, it's easy to master external moves.
There are no fixed moves in Jeet Kune Do. The most important thing is to be able to do it as you wish.
I once exchanged pointers with Mr. Bruce Lee and learned a lot. After that, I began to study his martial arts tirelessly until now. "
After listening to Grandpa Huang until here, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind.
