If Zheng Shanao had not learned mixed martial arts, he would definitely not be able to beat Ma San.
Now that he has learned mixed martial arts, he beat Ma San until he was unable to fight back.
So can we conclude that mixed martial arts is much more powerful than traditional martial arts?
This is not the case.
Scientifically speaking, powerful techniques are the result of continuous exploration, improvement and development from generation to generation. This is true for mixed martial arts, but what is the same for traditional martial arts?
Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do is known as the pioneer of mixed martial arts, but Jeet Kune Do draws on the essence of Wing Chun, Tai Chi, Cai Lifu, Taekwondo, Aikido, Jiu Jitsu and dozens of other martial arts schools. So it is strictly
Generally speaking, mixed martial arts is formed on the shoulders of traditional martial arts.
Looking at traditional martial arts, each sect also has its own history.
It’s just that we can fully imagine that in the long period of time when productivity was low, it was actually difficult to have a systematic fighting system. Because any kind of fighting system requires at least several generations of people to establish.
Since the Han Dynasty, the social atmosphere of favoring civility and rejecting martial arts and the central imperial power's control and suppression of folk iron weapons and martial arts have made it difficult for folk martial arts to survive. As a result, it is impossible for people who specialize in fighting to survive by fighting. In the era of cold weapons
, the only space for traditional martial arts to survive and develop is in the military.
Only in the military formation, under the pressure of life and death, will generals and soldiers sum up and improve various methods of responding to crises, and finally form the skills to kill the enemy and defend.
Any powerful army, from generals to soldiers, must be martial arts masters. However, what these masters admire is not individual force, but collective strength. Their martial arts are also for the purpose of forming a powerful military formation. They
The martial arts that have been studied so hard is actually just a link in the military formation, like a screw in the machine. Once it is separated from a specific environment, the power of this martial arts will be greatly reduced.
So we can say that martial arts in ancient times can actually be regarded as "military fighting skills".
This situation lasted until the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. China was broken up, aliens invaded, and society was in turmoil. Martial arts was not only needed by soldiers, but also by the people for self-defense. Various secret societies that resisted the Qing government also needed martial arts to enhance their strength.
Strength, so the real martial arts of China basically started to be spread and created from this time.
The Qing court ruled for more than 300 years, and the slogans of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty were shouted for more than 300 years. This is unique in China's more than 5,000 years of history. It can be seen that in this strange dynasty, martial arts played an important role among the people.
There is also soil for survival and development.
During this period, the skills of fighting and fighting began to be derived from military formations, and they began to pursue individual strength and develop the limits of the human body. Many boxing schools that integrated principles and skills appeared among the people, often called "men" or "men".
"Boxing", and "Hui", the so-called traditional martial arts such as Tai Chi, Tongbei, Xingyi, Bagua, etc. actually began to develop during this period.
So China has a long history, but Chinese martial arts may only have been around for more than three hundred years.
According to the scientific view of development, when folk martial arts were first created, the skills they created must have been crude, simple and low-level.
Maybe any boxer who plays MMA today can beat Ji Jike, the founder of Xinyiquan, to the ground. Because the latter is the pioneer, he can figure out a set of effective personal martial arts.
The method can already be called great. But to say that this most primitive martial arts method can defeat the advanced fighting techniques summarized after hundreds of years of development is tantamount to wishful thinking.
In ancient times, perhaps a move called Immortal Picking Peach could be passed down as a secret skill of a sect. Because no one else knew this move, few people saw it, and not many people could guard against it.
But when everyone knows how to pick peaches, this move becomes the standard for martial arts practitioners. The development of martial arts urgently requires each sect to create new moves to "lead the show."
As a result, unique tricks are constantly being invented. These unique tricks are either lost or cracked, and become commonplace products on the street.
In this way, martial arts developed from generation to generation, with more and more popular products on the market, and the basic structure of the martial arts system was gradually formed.
With the development of martial arts in the era of the Republic of China, it can be said that the various sects have basically reached the extreme.
This era is the last breath of traditional martial arts, the last golden age, and the last peak.
Because after this era, folk martial arts once again lost the soil for survival and development.
By the 1970s and 1980s, traditional martial arts had become routines and performances.
This is not an excuse for spreading martial arts, but a fact. The Chinese martial arts were originally created to determine life and death. Now martial arts does not allow death - is martial arts that does not allow death still a martial art?
Before the Republic of China, when martial artists competed in martial arts, they had to sign a life or death certificate. When they got into the ring, it was a matter of life or death. Even if the discussion was concluded and the main points were stated, there would still be a saying that there was no point in fisting or kicking.
Why? Because the martial arts at this time can really kill people. Nine out of ten moves are KO moves that are not allowed to be used by future generations. If one of them is not good, he will die on the stage.
In later generations, due to the chronology of martial arts that lasted for seventy or eighty years, as well as the devastating blow to martial arts materials and talents in special periods, most of the martial arts were lost, and the tricks that caused maiming and death could no longer be used, so it was already in decline.
With this castration of the Chuanwu Jing, it has completely become a showpiece, leaving only a few performing masters active among the people to show off and deceive.
There are also martial arts projects such as Sanda that are derived from traditional martial arts, but whether Sanda is considered a traditional martial arts remains a question mark.
The reason why mixed martial arts is so powerful is that it combines the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought and has scientific and modern training methods and fighting concepts.
But the advanced ones are not necessarily the most powerful ones.
If the contest just now was between Gong Baosen and Zheng Shanao, no matter how advanced and novel Zheng Shanao's tricks were, he would still not be Gong Baosen's opponent, because in terms of individual strength, Gong Baosen surpassed Zheng Shanao
A distance of ten horses and three.
Even Ma San, if he fights Zheng Shanao a few more times, gradually adapts to Zheng Shanao's style, and explores Zheng Shanao's martial arts characteristics, he may not lose to Zheng Shanao again.
The difference between Ma San and Zheng Shanao is not in strength, but in knowledge.
So from this point of view, mixed martial arts is not much better than traditional martial arts.
If you approach these Republic of China martial arts masters with the idea of being able to conquer the world with one move, you may be able to make a splash in mixed martial arts at the beginning, but these Republic of China martial arts masters will soon make you understand that the old is still the best.
.
Because they are not standing still, they are also integrating martial arts from other schools, absorbing the essence of each school, and accepting new things.
The Northern Boxing spread to the South, and the Five Tigers went to the south of the Yangtze River. These were the pioneering and attempts of the martial artists of this era. They already had a sense of crisis that the spread of martial arts was declining, and they were eager to find a new way out for martial arts.
When they discovered the advanced concepts and styles of mixed martial arts, they relied on their rich experience and martial arts thinking to quickly study mixed martial arts thoroughly and even become better.
For example, Zheng Shanao himself improved Baguazhang and integrated it into mixed martial arts to form his unique fighting style, which even Su Yi was amazed by.
Zheng Shanao is like this, what about Gong Baosen?
Definitely stronger!
It is definitely not a simple matter to compete between mixed martial arts and traditional martial arts of this era in the ring. If you do not do well, you will lose your stride.
Besides, is the core selling point of mixed martial arts in this era based on power? Is it based on who can fight better?
The real subversion of mixed martial arts is that traditional martial arts requires several years, more than ten years or even decades to train martial arts talents, while modern mixed martial arts can be trained in as little as a few months or as long as two or three years!
Quick success, this is the most powerful part of mixed martial arts.
Of course, in the current martial arts arena of the Zheng family, the people of the Gong family have not yet come into contact with the instant magic of mixed martial arts, but they have been subverted by this novel and unique fighting style.
After Gong Baosen stopped, Zheng Shanao immediately let go of Ma San, and the two stood up at the same time. The former hugged the latter's fist, smiled slightly and said: "San'er, I accept."
Ma San was lost and his eyes were blank.
Here, Gong Baosen stood up with a solemn expression.
Naturally, Gong Er and Lao Jiang could not sit any longer. They watched Gong Baosen walk into the field and walked in front of Zheng Shanao.
"Uncle Master..." Zheng Shanao hid a little lust in his eyes, panting slightly as he greeted Gong Baosen.
But the next moment, Gong Baosen took action, using the simplest Qinglong Claw in Baguazhang.
Gong Baosen was not very fast, so Zheng Shanao quickly reacted and responded. While dodging sideways, he stepped forward and used a wild horse to part his mane, forcing Gong Baosen to retreat.
His idea was good, but almost at the same time he reacted, Gong Baosen's originally unhurried speed suddenly accelerated. Before Zheng Shan'ao could react, he slapped his left shoulder with a palm, and Zheng Shan'ao suddenly staggered.
He staggered backwards, unable to use any moves.
Gong Baosen had no expression on his face. He took two steps forward and continued to attack with another unpretentious progressive attack.
In two consecutive moves, Gong Baosen used the most basic moves in Baguazhang.
Zheng Shanao's expression changed. He shook his body, trying to get rid of Gong Baosen's attack and make him lose his target.
But as soon as his foot moved, Gong Baosen's speed suddenly increased again, and he punched him between the chest and abdomen.
"Ugh!" Zheng Shanao let out a loud burp, covered the area where he was beaten and stepped back again and again, with a look of pain on his face and his face turned red.
Gong Baosen did not pursue the victory again, but stopped thoughtfully and looked at Zheng Shanao.
Zheng Shanao couldn't hide the shock, frustration, disbelief and other complex emotions in his eyes. He couldn't believe that the new martial arts he had pinned his hopes on to show off his ambitions could not even make a single move against Gong Baosen.
Gong Baosen just used the simplest speed change to defeat all his moves.
"You don't have to be sad." Gong Baosen said slowly to Zheng Shanao, "Your skills are still stagnant and have not yet reached perfection. The connection is not smooth. I think it is due to the short training time. I will wait for you in due course.
If you master this skill thoroughly and master it thoroughly, I will not be your opponent."
Zheng Shanao's expression softened slightly, and he hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Uncle Master, your words are serious."
"This is not a skill, but a concept..." Gong Baosen sighed, "No wonder you want to open a martial arts school instead of a martial arts gym."
"Uncle Master's eyes are as bright as a torch," Zheng Shan said proudly, "but the concept is difficult to promote. I can only use this concept to create a brand new Kung Fu to explain martial arts principles. The core of my new Kung Fu lies in the word 'fusion'.
If there is no law, I can use the infinite as the finite, and all the martial arts in the world can be turned into my own use."
"The ambition is not small." Gong Baosen narrowed his eyes, "How did you discover this concept? Are you willing to tell me?"
"When my uncle asked me, he told me everything." Zheng Shan smiled proudly and said, "This matter still falls on Geng Liangchen."
Zheng Shanao began to tell the story that he and Su Yi had agreed on before.
Because he had an old relationship with Geng Liangchen's parents, Zheng Shanao accepted Geng Liangchen as his adopted son after Geng Liangchen's parents left and began to teach him martial arts.
But Geng Liangchen was a Liba, and he had to carry a large bag of work during the day, so he had no time to practice martial arts. Therefore, Zheng Shanao figured out a set of training methods suitable for Liba's martial arts, and continued to improve them.
During this process, Geng Liangchen met a foreign martial artist and learned Western boxing, Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu and other martial arts from this martial artist. Zheng Shanao suddenly wondered if he could integrate these martial arts into a
One furnace?
So he began to continuously improve this concept and used Geng Liangchen as an experiment. In the end, he succeeded.
After hearing this, Gong Baosen nodded slowly and said: "It's a good story. I heard that this Geng Liangchen has now become the leader of walking? A little Liba became a leader in a few months. How did this trick come about?
of?"
"This kid is quite scheming, but this is his own skill." Zheng Shanao couldn't help but laugh.
He felt quite proud of his own child, and recounted what Su Yi looked like in his eyes.
From how he gained a foothold in footwork from the beginning, to how Su Yi made his enemies willingly put him on the throne of footwork leader a few days ago.
Gong Baosen and the others were amazed when they heard it. To be honest, Su Yi's story can be regarded as a legend no matter how you look at it.
The meaning of legend is that it is impossible for others to replicate his experience.
After Zheng Shanao finished his story, Gong Baosen did not express any further opinions. He just said that he had not been to Jinmen for a long time and wanted to take a look around.
Zheng Shanao asked to accompany him, but Gong Baosen refused. He said he just wanted to walk around by himself.
After the four people packed up and went out, Gong Er suddenly approached Gong Baosen and asked, "Dad, do you want to meet that Geng Liangchen in private?"
"You are really the noise bug in my father's belly." Gong Baosen said with a smile, "Yes, I want to meet this Geng Liangchen. I want to try his skills."
"Is this necessary, Dad?" Gong Er was a little confused about Gong Baosen's purpose of doing this.
"Whether it is necessary or not, you will know after trying it." Gong Baosen said with deep eyes.
