Chapter 207 Five Steps
"Reality is not entirely solid, there is emptiness within reality; emptiness is not completely powerless, there is reality within emptiness."
Hengchong shook his head and said, but the instructions he yelled out did not have the charm of an outsider practitioner at all.
Putting the left foot in front is called a left lunge, and putting the right foot in front is called a right lunge.
In fact, in terms of direction, it can also be divided into forward lunge and diagonal lunge.
The former is formed by stepping forward and upward, while the latter is formed by stepping sideways.
Many people feel more uncomfortable when practicing the lunge than when they practice the horse stance.
Some people cannot bend their front legs, and their legs are almost upright.
Some people cannot turn their heels when they push back, and their hind legs are too bent.
The distance between some people's feet is too narrow, and they may even step on a straight line, or walk criss-crossing back and forth, just like "twisting twists", their bodies are twisted, and they cannot read faces.
"Lunge!" Heng Chong roared.
This is a straight forward movement. The main difference from the lunge is that while the lower limbs move, the upper limbs move.
The hands and feet on the same side are staggered forward and backward, with the right hand in front and the right foot in the back, and the right hand in the back and the right foot in front.
"Lunge!"
After a while, Hengchong roared again.
It also adds upper limb movements to the lower limb movements of the lunge. The main difference from the bent lunge is that the front hands and front feet are on the same side.
"Side lunge!"
Zhang Daocheng follows the essentials with his feet diagonally parallel, one leg bent at the knee and arched forward, with the knee and toes roughly facing each other up and down, and the other leg spread sideways and straightened naturally.
He opens his hips in a round position, rotates his upper body slightly with the movement, bends his legs to make a strong move, and opens his legs to show a weak position.
"call!"
Zhang Daocheng let out a breath. He didn't expect that the lunge stance looked easier than the horse stance, but it turned out that it was not easy at all and was just as tiring.
"Before you learn boxing, learn how to walk first!"
Hengchong's roar is in my ears.
"Remember, the upper body must be kept in a neutral position, the collar should be pushed forward, the chest should be lifted and the back should be lifted, the shoulders should be lowered and the elbows should be lowered, and the spine should be straight."
"Always keep a vertical line from the top of the head, the trunk to the tail vertebra. Do not lean forward or backward, or tilt left or right... What about you? Do you hear me? I tell you not to lean forward or backward..."
"...You should also loosen the left and right sides, loosen the waist and hips, and sink the crotch and tighten the buttocks. The steps must be natural and steady. As the saying goes, "the waist is like a snake, and the steps are like sticks," the footwork in the walking fist is the foundation."
"You have to sink your energy into your Dantian, put the soles of both feet on the ground, and stand firm on your feet. Only in this way can you rise lightly, descend steadily, and have a stable center of gravity. Otherwise, the foundation will not be strong, the center of gravity will be unstable, the upper body will shake, and the punch will not be able to be punched.
It’s chaotic and powerless…”
Zhang Daocheng concentrated on practicing according to the essentials of the movements. Hengchong's voice seemed far away but also close. Gradually, he felt that he couldn't hear anything and only the essentials of the movements were in his mind. In the end, it seemed that he didn't think about anything.
It is still the same as before when squatting. After a certain period of time, Hengchong announces the end. Those who quit early will be the same as before.
, was sent to clean toilets and do other dirty and tiring work.
However, unlike what Zhang Daocheng and the others had in mind, after finishing the lunge stance, the nightmare still did not end and they continued to stand.
Zhang Daocheng's legs are spread apart to the left and right, with the distance between his feet about four to five times the length of his feet. One leg is bent in a full squat, with the knees and toes abducted. The other leg is straightened and flat, close to the ground, with both feet touching the ground.
In this way, the left leg is straightened to form a left step, and the right leg is straightened to be a right step.
After standing for a while, just when Zhang Daocheng and the others thought that this servant would continue to stand like this, Hengchong's roar sounded again.
Sighing in his heart, Zhang Daocheng could only continue to listen attentively.
Hengchong asked them to squat down first, stretch out one leg and straighten it, with the foot facing the direction of his face, with the toes turned in, and to hold the stretched out leg with his left hand.
Then press your upper body to one side and try to touch the leg as much as possible. Use the hand on the other side to hug the leg on that side as much as possible and press the leg.
However, you should also pay attention at this time. The bent right leg should be close to the ground and the heel should not be opened.
Heng Chong was simply inexhaustible, and would not give up until Zhang Daocheng had squeezed out the last bit of strength from them.
After the servant step is completed, it becomes a virtual step.
Zhang Daocheng clenched his fists at the side of his waist, raised his chest, lowered his waist, pushed his heels outward, and his knees did not reach his toes.
This virtual step requires the front legs to be weak and the hind legs to be strong, with a clear distinction between the virtual and the real. The main strength of the body should be placed on the supporting leg, and the virtual step only accounts for three thirds.
Zhang Daocheng abducts his right foot at 45 degrees, bends his knees and hips and squats half-squat, his left foot stands forward, his knees are slightly bent, his insteps are flat, his toes are slightly touching the ground, his knees are slightly buckled in, his center of gravity is on his right foot, and his hands are on the waist.
Hold your fists together, look forward, straighten your chest and waist, and make the actual situation clear.
Needless to say, once you get better at this practice, you will feel more and more relaxed.
When practicing horse steps, without Lao Wang's help, Zhang Daocheng probably wouldn't have been able to persevere.
When it came time to practice lunges, he gritted his teeth and persisted reluctantly.
When it comes time to practice Pubu, things will get a little better.
Now that he is practicing the virtual step, and when Heng Chong says it is over, Zhang Daocheng feels that there is no problem if he can stand for a while longer.
He crosses his legs and squats in full, with his left foot in front and his whole foot on the ground, with his toes abducted, his right foot behind, with the ball of his forefoot on the ground, his right knee pushed out and close to the outside of his left calf, his buttocks sitting close to the heel of his right foot, and his hands
Hold your fists at your waist and look straight ahead.
This is a rest step. The left foot is in front of the left foot, and the right foot is in the right rest step. You need to straighten your chest and lower your waist, keep your legs close together, and twist your waist to the front leg.
"Well, you scumbags, listen up. The last training move this morning is the Golden Rooster Independence..."
Hengchong's voice sounded again, but this time everyone felt that the ordeal was finally coming to an end.
The so-called golden rooster independence refers to a person standing on one leg, slightly closing his eyes, and keeping his balance with his eyes closed.
You must concentrate, focus your mind on the soles of your feet, and keep your strength intact.
Zhang Daocheng first puts his hands together, then raises his hands high on his head, and then clenches his hands in front of his chest. The posture is relatively easy.
He closed his eyes and used his thoughts to hold his body up. He held on for longer and longer, and switched when he got tired.
Hengchong stipulates that they must close their eyes.
In order to maintain balance in the dark, the body needs to fully mobilize the brain nerves to balance the body.
In order to maintain the balance of the body, the mind needs to be highly concentrated. At this time, the person's Qi and blood will be fully directed to the soles of the standing feet, because the body needs to constantly maintain balance, and the brain area that controls balance is constantly stimulated.
As a result, some of the body's self-hiding abilities are stimulated.
Moreover, Zhang Daocheng also discovered something during his practice, that is, the practitioner must relax his body. If he does not relax, he will not be able to stand firmly.
As his ability to stand firm became stronger and stronger during the practice, his mind began to become more and more pure and focused.
Instead of being impetuous before, my mind has entered a state of clarity and calmness. I even feel that my body is better able to repair and adjust itself from some of the hidden injuries it suffered in the past.
"Okay, you scumbags! This morning's training is over. Go and eat. We will continue in the afternoon."
Heng Chong's roar rang in Zhang Daocheng's ears. He didn't know what kind of kung fu Heng Chong used. He stood in the distance and roared while walking, but the sound seemed to explode in your ears.
Zhang Daocheng believes that everyone's feelings should be the same as his, and this should also be a skill.
It's just that Zhang Daocheng didn't have the courage to ask Heng Chong.
In this morning's training, a total of 15 people were asked to clean toilets and do some tiring and dirty work.
Zhang Daocheng was lucky enough not to join the toilet cleaning team, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, thinking about the training in the afternoon, Zhang Daocheng was a little nervous. He didn't know how Hengchong would continue to punish them.
I came to the canteen and had a meal. I have to say that although the training in the Sword League is hard, the food is really good.
Large pieces of braised pork, delicious in color, rich in flavor and juice, large bowls of rice and steamed buns for free, and everyone was given a large chicken drumstick.
It smells so good!
Zhang Daocheng had never eaten chicken drumsticks at home before, but for some reason, when he smelled the aroma of the drumsticks today, he wanted to take a big bite right away.
I feel that my sense of smell is more sensitive than before, or is there something going on?
Zhang Daocheng thought about it and realized that it might be related to this morning's training.
This person has spent a lot of time training, and his appetite will naturally develop.
Chapter completed!
