In the past three months, Su Yi trained like an ascetic every day in a masochistic manner, which gave him abundant physical fitness, extraordinary strength and agility.
No matter how hard you work, you will reap what you gain. This is how everything in the world works.
Those geniuses who do not need to work hard are in the minority after all. For ordinary people, hard work is the only way to success.
As for whether the direction is correct or not, that is another matter.
“Brother Hao, do you still remember me? You talked to me yesterday. My name is Lin Siqi.”
After morning practice, Su Yi was going to find Uncle Ren to relax when Lin Siqi came up to him again.
“Aqi?” Su Yi looked at him with a smile, “Of course you remember, and you have been following me just now, how could I not see you?”
Lin Siqi giggled and scratched his head: "Brother Hao, you are really amazing. I'm afraid I can't even reach one-third of your training intensity."
"At the beginning, don't be anxious, take your time." Su Yi encouraged him, "But you must not imitate me. The reason why I train so hard is because Uncle Ren helps me relax after every training. In addition,
My physique is good and I recover well. If you imitate me, you will easily injure yourself and it will be counterproductive."
“Ah Hao is right.” Cheng Hui interjected, “Don’t imitate him, you can’t learn from him. He is used to practicing this way, but most people would have been injured by his training method!”
"Okay, I thought I was terrible." Lin Siqi perked up after hearing this, "Brother Hao, can I keep training with you every morning from now on? I will only do one-third of your intensity at the beginning.
Then slowly increase it.”
“You can come if you want,” Su Yi said.
“Thank you, Brother Hao! Thank you, Brother Hao!” Lin Siqi grinned happily, “Then I won’t disturb you, Brother Hao, bye!”
After watching Lin Siqi leave, Cheng Hui said with a smile: "This kid is silly and very big, but he looks very bulky."
“Brother Hui is also a teaching assistant now, are you interested in taking him as a disciple?” Su Yi asked with a smile.
"Forget it." Cheng Hui shook his head, "I can't even take care of you. Let's go, you massage, and I'll tell you what mistakes you made in the three rounds yesterday."
“Okay!” Su Yi also cheered up. To be honest, he still feels uncomfortable.
The gap between him and Cheng Hui should not be that big.
Five minutes later, Su Yi was lying on the massage table enjoying Uncle Ren's massage. On his side, Cheng Hui began to ask him.
“Do you think you shouldn’t lose so miserably to me? But you couldn’t even take advantage of me in three rounds. Have you ever thought about why?”
“I thought about it, thought about it carefully.” Su Yi sighed and said, “First of all, of course, it’s because I lack experience and I took it for granted to deal with you based on the fighting principles and ideas taught by Luo Ge, but in the end, you took advantage of me.”
Cheng Hui smiled and nodded: "The truth applies to both pros and cons. I know more truths than you and have more experience than you. You want to set a trap for me on the court? You are simply using your own shortcomings to attack my strengths. What did you do at that time?
I think, I can see through it at a glance, so naturally I will fight and win."
“Also, my attacks are inconsistent. There will be a pause after each combination. In the first two attacks, you seized this opportunity.” Su Yi said.
"This is indeed your problem, but it is not the fundamental problem." Cheng Hui said, "Your combinations are incoherent because you only thought of one step when you were playing. You couldn't think of what to do next after finishing this combination. What are you doing?
On the stage, it’s all about taking one step and looking at the other, and it all depends on on-the-spot reaction. If you can play one step and look at the other, then you won’t have the problem of offensive incoherence at all. Before you finish this combination, you have already thought about the next combination.
No matter how hard you fight, you just can’t stop."
“But the situation in the arena is changing rapidly. I thought about the second step, but what’s the use of reality not going as I thought?” Su Yi frowned.
"This is a matter of experience." Cheng Hui said, "The time you have practiced boxing is too short, so it is normal that you can't do it now."
“For example, in our first round yesterday, you approached me at the beginning and I started to retreat. Think about it, how did I retreat at that time?”
Su Yi was a little surprised: "How to retreat? Just... retreat normally."
Cheng Hui smiled and shook his head: "No, I was swaying back and forth."
"Isn't this a normal reaction?" Monk Su Yigengzhanger couldn't figure it out. "You are shaking left and right so that I don't catch the flaw, or you are pretending to confuse me."
"Don't follow the script, brother!" Cheng Hui explained, "Not all fake moves are to confuse the opponent. If you think about it carefully, the direction in which I jumped at that time, every time you took a step forward, I always stayed on your left.
Or the 45-degree position on the right, right?"
Su Yi thought about it carefully and realized that this was really the case. He thought of a possibility and was a little frightened.
"It seems that you have thought of it." Cheng Hui looked at Su Yi with a smile, "Think about the second round. You learned the lesson from the first round and attacked fiercely from the beginning, but is your fierce attack effective? Am I the second round?
Reacting in an instant, if you fight for so long and make yourself so tired, what effect will it have?"
"I seem to be retreating, but every time I retreat, I stand 45 degrees diagonally in front of you and keep a distance from you. If the two of us are opposite corners of a triangle, the straight-line distance between us
, is the farthest hypotenuse of the triangle! In other words, as long as I maintain this position, you seem to be pressing me, but in fact, as long as you take action, you have to take one more step forward to hit me. This
That gave me time to react."
Su Yi recalled yesterday’s scene in a daze, feeling as if he had been opened to a new world.
"Now do you understand why I jumped back like that?" Cheng Hui said, "In the ring, don't do useless moves! Don't think about useless things! Every move you make and every counterattack must be useful.
Do it! Just like painting, the canvas is only so big, you should know how to paint and what to paint in advance, instead of thinking about how to paint while painting, otherwise the painting you paint will definitely not look good! "
"To put it more clearly, in the ring, you must understand your opponent's movements. How he fights and how he defends must be within your expectations. Whether you can beat him or not is one thing, because there are many factors that affect it.
But if you can't control his moves, you'll never become a great boxer!"
“How to master it?” Su Yi was slightly excited.
He learned free fighting, learned various combination punches, and also tried to play his own rhythm.
But once you get into the ring, you really have to leave it to fate!
Because you can fight, you don’t know whether your opponent can fight or how to fight. It is impossible to predict the outcome!
The only thing you can do is to use what you have learned as much as possible, using the fastest speed, the greatest strength, and the most stable rhythm.
This is what Su Yi understands now as mixed martial arts.
But now, Cheng Hui told him that this is not the case, the game can be controlled! The game is not left to fate, but my fate is up to me and not God!
How can this not be considered a subversion for Su Yi?
"How to master it, this is what I want to tell you, and it is also the root of all the mistakes you made yesterday." Since Cheng Hui said it, he naturally did not mean to be self-conscious and began to explain Su Yi's doubts.
“How will your opponent react when you punch him?” Cheng Hui seemed to want to teach Su Yi in a seductive way.
“Block, dodge, or fight back regardless.” Su Yi said.
"Yes, although he will change a lot after this, don't think about it at all before he makes these reactions!" Cheng Hui said, "When you punch out, your opponent will have these three reactions. You see,
You have already grasped your opponent's next move."
“Then I plan my second move based on his three reactions?” Su Yi guessed what Cheng Hui wanted to express and asked in surprise.
"That's right." Cheng Hui affirmed, "If he blocks, how will he block, which hand will he use to block, what kind of footwork will he use, what is his body position, and what is his angle? In fact, it can all be based on
The force of your punch can be predicted from the angle, and the accuracy of the prediction is very high."
“An experienced boxer will immediately determine what his opponent will do based on the subtle signs of his opponent before he has even completed his blocking action!”
“Ah Hao, if you are sure that your opponent will raise your right arm to block while throwing a punch, and your body position is just right to attack his right rib, what will you do?”
“Of course I’ll take the opportunity to punch him!” Su Yi said without thinking.
Snapped!
"That's it!" Cheng Hui clapped his hands, "When you threw this punch, you were already preparing for the next punch. When the opponent started to block you, your punch was originally a real punch. As a result,
The punch that landed on him suddenly turned into a false punch! Before the opponent could react to your change in rhythm, your second punch had already hit his right rib while his blocking movement was taking shape..."
“Do you understand what I mean now?”
"I understand, I understand." Su Yi frowned, "You mean, when I am training, I will first practice according to this logic. When I get familiar with it, I will naturally use it on the stage.
When is the time to respond appropriately?”
"Yes, that's it." Cheng Hui nodded, "When you punch out, your opponent will have several reactions. You have to remember them, and how you respond to the opponent's reactions should be planned during training.
Just like a computer program, it forms a conditioned reflex in your brain. Once a corresponding situation occurs on stage, you can immediately respond accurately. In fact, this is called practicing routines, and it is very common in traditional martial arts."
"Isn't this too difficult, Brother Hui?" Su Yi couldn't help but shake his head, "If I punch out, the opponent only has three ways to deal with it. But if I hit a combination, he has at least ten or even dozens of ways to deal with it.
Maybe! How could I remember all his reactions? And in such a short period of time, quickly make a second round of attacks based on his reactions? "
“Even if I memorize a combination, the combinations are ever-changing, and everyone’s rhythm is different. I won’t be able to remember so many changes and how to deal with them no matter how long I train!”
“Of course you can’t remember them all,” Cheng Hui said, “but you can remember as much as you can.”
"There are countless combinations, and there are too many routines that can be derived. Even if I spend all my time practicing routines in the future, I'm afraid I can only remember a drop in the bucket, right?" Su Yi frowned and said.
.
"You have to remember that we ask you to practice routines not to make you memorize all the routines, but to enable you to predict your opponent's movements on stage in advance!" Cheng Hui pointed at Su Yi and said, "You have practiced too many routines.
You will have more confidence when you go on stage, and you will have more feeling when you fight! Feeling is very important, this thing cannot be explained, but it does exist!"
"When you go on stage and fight with others, to be honest, you don't have time to think about anything! You fight with others based entirely on your experience and feelings. Strength, speed, etc. are just your attributes, not your fundamentals.
!”
"If you practice a lot of routines, and all your opponent's attacks and reactions look familiar to you, or give you a very familiar feeling, do you think you have a big advantage? Will you have a greater chance of predicting his movements?
?”
“This is the purpose of letting you practice routines.”
"Understood." Su Yi nodded thoughtfully. He somewhat understood what Cheng Hui meant, but this question was a bit deeper and he still had to think about it carefully.
"Let's go back to the three rounds yesterday." Cheng Hui continued, "I can guess how you fought yesterday, because I have seen many tricks. You fought back and forth, and there were just a few reactions.
I just need to seize the opportunity and take action in advance, but you can only start to react after discovering my intention. If you are ahead of schedule and delayed, how can you not get beaten? "
“Can I solve this problem only by practicing a lot?” Su Yi frowned and said, “This consumes too much time and energy.”
"There are no shortcuts!" Cheng Hui shook his head, "During training, you practice with your head free, and you have to think in your mind during rest. Through a lot of practice, until quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. If you don't put in 100% investment and dedication, how can you succeed?
?”
“Unless you are gifted, let’s just say it. But to be honest, being gifted only shortens the practice time. It does not mean that you don’t need to practice at all.”
Su Yi nodded slowly and said, "It seems like I still have a long way to go."
“Of course, you have just started.” Cheng Hui couldn’t help but laugh, “However, the purpose of practicing routines is to go further. As far as your current state is concerned, you are already a very good boxer.”
"Don't go from one extreme to the other. Feeling and experience are important, but strength and speed are equally important. Sometimes you know exactly what the opponent will do next, but he is too fast and you just can't stop him!
Sometimes you clearly see an opportunity, and as long as you block him, you have a chance to KO him, but he is too powerful and you just can't stop him!"
"Other times, you are smart and your opponent is smarter than you. He may very well set up a complicated trap for you based on your personality, and just wait for you to step into it proudly, only to realize that you are no longer able to
There is nowhere to escape."
“The arena is changing rapidly, and anything can happen. The only thing we boxers can do is to increase our chips as much as possible and try to see through the opponent’s trump card. As for the outcome, we won’t know until we fight.”
Cheng Hui’s teaching had a great influence on Su Yi, but it was a far-reaching ideal and would not have much effect in a short period of time.
An hour later, the decisive battle between Su Yi and A Min began.
