Chapter 133: Martial Arts and National Arts
Fan Wubing took the time to see the old man who taught martial arts. He was in his seventies and was very energetic. His head was probably much longer than inches. As his body swung, his head was also swaying in the wind as if it was rhythmic, which looked a bit confusing.
"This old man is not a wise man who cheats food and drinks." Although Fan Wubing has not studied countless times, after all the years, he saw the most attractive part of the old man, and he couldn't help but feel respectful.
In the gymnasium, a space for practicing martial arts was specially opened. The specially made solid wood floor was soft and elastic but not made people feel out of control. Walking on it, people can have a sense of jumping left and right, as if they were on a boat.
The old man was here watching a group of students practicing martial arts.
The current situation is better than what Fan Wubing learned from Ren Xiaorou. There were more than 30 students present to observe and practice, and there were sixteen students wearing Chinese-style practice clothes and immersing themselves in their martial arts dreams.
Fan Wubing glanced back and forth a few times, but suddenly he didn't recognize the Japanese students. So he patted the shoulder of a classmate standing next to him and asked in a low voice, "Hey, buddy, which ones are the Japanese?"
Unexpectedly, the classmate's shoulder sank, grabbed Fan Wubing's arm with his back hand, twisted it to the back, and said with some displeasure, "I'm not a buddy, a sister, those are not Japanese, but Japanese. When can you Chinese get rid of your bad habit of staying at home?"
Turns out he is a Japanese girl?!
Fan Wubing then looked at the guy next to him again and found that she was indeed not a man, but it was a bit far-fetched to say that she was a woman, because everyone's training clothes were equally generous, so he didn't notice that this person's chest muscles were a bit developed.
Look at the face, it looks like the grandma doesn't love my uncle and doesn't love her. It looks a bit like Sato, the Japanese devil in Huo Yuanjia in TV. Look at the temperament, it looks a bit like Chun Ge.
So Fan Wubing shook his arm, easily escaped from the other party's control, and then asked, "What's your name, Brother Chun?"
The guy lost control without thinking about how Fan Wubing acted. He was also stunned at the moment. He looked at Fan Wubing carefully, but had never seen it in practice, so he didn't dare to be arrogant, so he bowed and said, "I'm here Haruko Sato, please ask for the name of Zun's surname?"
"So it's really Brother Chun-" Fan Wubing was interesting when he heard the name, so he looked at Haruko Sato and said with a smile, "You are only worthy of staying below, just cook and take care of your children at home. What kind of martial arts are you semi-civilized guys who come to China to learn? Is such profound martial arts something that you semi-civilized guys can understand?"
"Random--" Haruko Sato was so insulted so publicly that she felt a little angry, her body sank slightly, and she kicked her.
Fan Wubing's expression remained unchanged. He took a step to the right just in a right way, then lifted his left leg upright, lifted his calf outward, and then he swung his body to the outside. Then Fan Wubing's calf stretched straight and hooked his toes inward, and then he hooked one of Sato Haruko's legs that had swung out.
After swinging left and right, Haruko Sato was already unable to stand firm. Then Fan Wubing lowered his center of gravity, lowered his left leg, swept his right leg gently, and then sent Haruko Sato to the ground, landing on a mat seven or eight meters away.
"Ouch--" Haruko Sato thought she would fall into a dim manner, but she just felt that her body was lighter, as if she was being moved out, and hit the mat. She stood up and found that she was not injured. Only then did she realize that Fan Wubing's skills were far above him, and she was a little reckless when she attacked him just now.
"Hunzi, are you okay?" Several people immediately surrounded him and asked with concern.
"I'm fine, this is a master." Haruko Sato glanced at Fan Wubing and said to everyone with some vigilance.
But in this way, Fan Wubing could see that those were Japanese.
Although the training uniforms that everyone wears are the same, the Japanese like to put straps on their foreheads and tie their hair up, so they are very easy to identify. However, after a closer look, he found that many students on the scene were straps. Not only the Japanese did this, so they couldn't help but shake their heads and disagreed.
The old man was there and saw the actions of Fan Wubing and Haruko Sato, and nodded without saying anything.
Fan Wubing walked over very directly and said to the old man, "Teacher Fei, I didn't go to school a few days ago. Can I sign up now?"
The old man looked at Fan Wubing and said seriously, "So, what is your purpose in registering to learn martial arts?"
Purpose? Fan Wubing was stunned for a moment and thought to himself that we are signing up for this elective course, isn’t it just to get credits for this elective course? Does anyone really think that they can rely on martial arts to help the strong and help the weak and uphold justice and become a hero? What era is this?
However, since the old man asked, Fan Wubing could not help but say something nice. So after pondering for a moment, he replied, "The national martial arts are in decline, and someone always needs to inherit and carry forward it. Just do his best."
After hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up and he nodded, "Yes."
Some of the students next to them were a little puzzled and then discussed, "Isn't it martial arts? Why is it again Chinese martial arts?"
"A martial artist can strengthen the body. A national martial artist can defend the country." The old man said a few words, and then said to Fan Wubing, "You have finished a lot of homework, so you need to practice more."
Fan Wubing nodded and agreed. Anyway, his purpose was to defeat others and get credits, and everything was OK.
Then the old man began to teach the students today's course and explain some movements. Fan Wubing listened on the side and felt that it was indeed quite insightful. After the old man explained it, he immediately realized the purpose of doing this. If he understood it from the perspective of human mechanics, he would gain even more.
From the perspective of the sports world, national arts emerged in modern times. It is a national sports system with bare hands and equipment fighting competition as the core. It includes multiple independent events in the folk where traditional martial arts are left. Among them are boxing and instrument routine exercises, bare hands and long and short equipment fighting events, and national wrestling that has been complemented by martial arts since ancient times is included. It also includes archery, slingshot, shuttlecock and strength testing projects that are closely related to traditional martial arts.
Overall, Chinese martial arts is an attempt to integrate and systematic Chinese traditional body movements.
From the perspective of the Chinese martial arts world, the significance of national martial arts is very different from the above.
They believe that the set of martial arts that the sports world uses for performance should be martial arts, and their own set of martial arts, which is rooted in traditional martial arts culture, should be national martial arts.
There is another saying about national martial arts: martial arts that only kill enemies and do not perform is called national martial arts.
For Fan Wubing, whether it is Chinese art or martial arts, as long as it can bring credits to himself, it is a good art.
However, if we want to understand the Chinese martial arts, Fan Wubing also believes that this is not something that should be performed everywhere, just like an expert should not be pulled out to walk around at any time, Chinese martial arts should be respected and raised to the height of the Tao, so that it is possible to form a cohesion and achieve the Chinese martial soul.
However, someone soon recognized Fan Wubing. After all, the reputation of a miracle doctor on campus is not for nothing. Although Fan Wubing rarely appears in school, he has risen to the level of a miracle doctor. In the hearts of Fudan students, his influence is no less than that of Bill Gates.
If everyone knows that Fan Wubing holds a considerable portion of Microsoft's shares, if everyone knows how strong Fan Wubing's wealth is, it is estimated that 99% of the students will immediately be converted into his fans. After all, this is an era of laughing at the poor but not prostitutes. In the relatively turbulent years, the only thing that everyone thinks is more reliable is that real money.
Everyone was practicing fighting, and some people came to discuss with Fan Wubing. Fan Wubing did not take any ruthless measures. He consciously restrained his strength, simply communicated from the movements, and got along well.
It is commendable that there are many girls here practicing here, and there are more than a dozen people who only study and do not take the exam. No matter how their faces look, they are wearing a full range of exercise clothes, which is still very attractive when fighting. They are lightly whispering when punching and kicking, which feels quite pleasing to the eye.
During the break, someone chatted with Fan Wubing and talked about the Japanese students in the class.
This matter is actually very embarrassing. It was not like this rigid situation with the Japanese before. Everyone came to participate in this elective course based on their passion for martial arts. Later, I don’t know which guy was, but he actually became interested in one of the Japanese students’ sisters and deliberately teased them, but was let go.
This guy felt embarrassed and angry, so he aroused hostility from both sides and wanted to turn the tables on himself. However, the students here have experienced many years of school life, and not many can run a thousand meters, let alone have any martial arts spirit.
When the two sides competed, they were defeated, which made many people look disgraceful and stayed there.
As a result, there were fewer Chinese students. The old man was depressed when he saw that he was more depressed. What was the matter of teaching a group of Japanese? So he spread the news that as long as anyone is willing to come and can defeat one or two Japanese, he is willing to give credits.
