"Yes, Wing Chun, what's the problem?" Xie Yuan responded to Ip Man's surprise with an expression of incomprehension unique to foreigners.
"I also studied Wing Chun, and was taught by Chen Huashun and Liang Zan." Ip Man explained in a very plain tone, "Who is your master?"
"I don't know." Xie Yuan shook his head with regret.
"How can I teach you boxing without showing my name?" Even a calm person like Ye Wen had a look of surprise on his face, and Mrs. Ye also had a look of surprise on her face. She was not someone who didn't know what was going on.
"Because he only showed me the name once..." Xie Yuan scratched his head as if he really couldn't remember it, then patted his head and suddenly remembered, "It's called Xiao Niannian! Later we got separated due to an unexpected situation.
Even after all these years, I don’t know where he is now.”
"Little thought," Ip Man suddenly realized that this is the first line of Wing Chun, and it is also the most important but also the most basic boxing system in Wing Chun. "How did you meet? And why did you get separated?"
"It was the Battle of Steelgrad in 1942..." Xie Yuan made up a story about a martial artist who accidentally entered the battlefield.
Because they were civilians, they had to be sent to the rear, and Xie Yuan wanted to rush to the front, so the two were separated and were never seen again.
"Because I have a good memory and this is something I have never seen before, so I looked at it very seriously." Xie Yuan said with a conceptual expression on his face, "From now on, I have been
I practiced this routine, but I didn’t know what it was at first.
Later, after the war, I lived in the Northeast and had the opportunity to visit Master Ji Wanshan. Master Ji told me that this is Wing Chun, and I knew it then."
"I didn't expect you to have such a tortuous past here. I can only say that his fate with you is only a set of boxing." Master Ye did not doubt him after hearing this. After all, Xie Yuan told him about his experience in those years.
When I went through it, the sadness and the awe of the battle were undeniable.
Therefore, he could only accept that Xie Yuan's past stories revealed that there really was a successor of Wing Chun who worked hard in the north. Unfortunately, life is very easy to wither... In such a chaotic situation, what is the possibility of this unknown successor surviving?
Very small.
He subconsciously thought that Xie Yuan was just taking care of Mrs. Ye who was pregnant.
In this regard, he admired Xie Yuan's wit, and as a martial artist, he also had some ideas.
"Since you started practicing Xiao Niu in 1942, it has been almost six or seven years.
Let's do this, can you come to the rooftop tomorrow morning? I want to see how far your little idea has come, is that okay?" Ip Man suggested.
"No problem," Xie Yuan nodded, nodding to Mrs. Ye and Ye Wen, "Then I won't disturb you. See you tomorrow."
After Xie Yuan left, Ye Wen kept mumbling to himself: "Who is it?"
"Oh, don't worry about who it is, go to sleep, it's getting late."
…
At just five o'clock the next morning, Ip Man went up to the rooftop and saw Xie Yuan doing... yoga.
At least in Ye Wen's view, it is Tianzhu's yoga, which is very complex and cumbersome. In theory, Xie Yuan's body cannot make such... very flexible movements, but he did it.
However, Xie Yuan did not let Ye Wen wait for too long. He quickly stopped working and said to Ye Wen apologetically: "I'm sorry, Master Ye. The unshakable yoga every day should end as soon as possible today."
"It's okay," Ye Wen didn't care. "It seems that you have practiced a lot, Ayuan? Can you handle it?"
"It's okay. Although I have learned a lot, my muscles are yoga, my bones are Wing Chun and boxing, and the rest are skin," Xie Yuan explained the direction of his training.
"Well, learn from each other's strengths and make up for your weaknesses. There is a balance. Being able to learn both Wing Chun and boxing will greatly improve your actual combat skills." Ip Man agreed with his idea and also gave a suggestion that he rarely took the initiative to propose.
, "Since you have learned so much...how about helping me?"
Hearing this request, Xie Yuan frowned: "Are you sure? You must know that according to the principle of fighting between boxers of equal size, it is best not to exceed one level.
You are nearly a head shorter than me. I weigh 95 kilograms, which is close to the build of a heavyweight boxer. What is your weight?"
"I...have lost some weight recently, about 140 pounds." Ye Wen did not hide his weight, "But this is just a skills competition, not a martial arts competition. I will pay attention to the propriety."
Why do you sound like you are worried about me? Xie Yuan complained in his heart, but there was still an expression of admiration on his face: "Okay then! But I also bluntly say that you may use some techniques that are not Wing Chun when joining hands, so it would be rude for a junior.
Already."
Opening the pile, using the two-word clamp to move the sheep and horse, and even using the hand as the starting position, this is the most common move of Xiao Niu Niu. Xie Yuan's eyes were shining brightly at this moment, and he looked directly at Ip Man.
Ye Wen stood up and swung the hem of his robe, and stuffed it into the belt with his hands, exposing his legs. He also clamped the sheep and horses in two positions, lowered his waist and inhaled, and spread his hands to face each other.
He narrowed his eyes, turned his hands into two fists, lunged forward with one step, and punched Ip Man directly in the face!
With his hand guard outstretched and his hand open against the ring hand, Xie Yuan's knowledge of Wing Chun is certainly not as good as that of Ip Man, but he is fierce, fast and tricky in the ring. He is already familiar with all the routines of Xiao Niu Niu.
Even if Ip Man neutralized Xie Yuan's offensive momentum and prepared to use the Japanese punch to virtually rush into Xie Yuan's middle gate (chest), he could react quickly, take a step back, and move sideways to avoid Ip Man's midline hedging.
The two men resumed their confrontation.
"Good! The reaction is good!" Ip Man couldn't help but admire. Xie Yuan almost used the small idea. As for the advanced parts of Wing Chun, it is not too difficult for a person who is sensitive enough to avoid it as long as the distance is not too close.
.
This is also Wing Chun's weakness in mid- and long-range confrontations. Xie Yuan's understanding of Wing Chun is indeed profound.
Xie Yuan quickly came closer. He was just warming up just now, but now he is getting serious.
A forward turn, and at the same time a classic boxing left step, a left twist of the body, a right fist hook forward, and a right uppercut.
After all, he knew too little about Wing Chun. Shen Wei's Wing Chun also incorporated modern Sanda techniques and was not a complete Wing Chun. In this case, he could only use more powerful boxing moves.
After knowing Xie Yuan's general strength against Wing Chun, Ip Man had an idea. However, even though he had expected it, he was caught off guard by Xie Yuan's lightning-fast uppercut and could only block it with his palm.
"Snapped!"
Ye Wen took a big step back and looked at Xie Yuan in surprise. He didn't expect that Xie Yuan, a young man, could have such terrifying strength. He was almost knocked back two steps just now!
Xie Yuan obviously stopped trying, but Ye Wen immediately straightened his clothes, put away his surprised face, and showed a warm smile.
Xie Yuan also tidied up his clothes, because someone was coming. After all, this was a competition between "same disciples", not an open competition.
What came was an old lady who ran a washing, cutting and blowing business. She was taking a tub of sheets to dry. After saying hello to Ye Wen, Xie Yuan and Ye Wen also took the initiative to help dry the clothes.
But after a while, a young man wearing a blue peaked cap and a denim jacket came over with an advertisement.
At this time, the neighbor's lady was sitting on a stool and resting. The young man came directly and asked: "Hey! Are you teaching Wing Chun here?"
The aunt nodded, and just when the young man was about to say something, the aunt suddenly shouted to the direction where the clothes were hanging: "Master Ye! Someone is looking for you to learn boxing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a corner of his coat was lifted up, revealing Ip Man's face of suppressed surprise. He even asked in disbelief: "Do you want to learn Wing Chun?"
"Let's take a look!" The young man looked impatient, "I don't even know what Wing Chun is."
"Oh, let me introduce it to you first," Ye Wen suddenly smiled and walked towards the young man, "Actually, our Wing Chun is a form of short fighting in the south..."
"You don't have to tell me so much!" The young man said with disdain, "You have a fight with me, and if you lose, I'll pay the tuition."
"Well" Xie Yuan felt uncomfortable hearing this. After helping the aunt arrange her clothes, he rushed out from behind and asked Ye Wen to resign: "Master Ye, I'm going to work now. Let's talk about it another day.
Bureau."
"Okay, let's talk about it another day." Ye Wen also turned around and bid farewell to Xie Yuan very politely.
"Who is he?" The young man looked at Xie Yuan's back with an arrogant look, feeling that his unhappy mood today was even more disgusting.
"He is a tenant here, my neighbor," Ye Wen explained his identity. He looked at the young man and said, "Do you still want to compete?"
"Compare!"
…
Not surprisingly, this young man named Huang Liang became Ip Man's disciple, but Xie Yuan later found out that Huang Liang actually studied Western boxing.
Moreover, because of Huang Liang's instigation, a group of Chinese Western boxing apprentices joined Master Ye's disciples.
However, no introductory disciples have been selected yet, so they are all arranged to practice martial arts on the streets and practice Wing Chun routines, which are small thoughts.
However, Xie Yuan did not expect that the subsequent opening of the martial arts gym would have so many twists and turns.
