That morning, on a train from Binhai City to Tianque City, in a small box, Li Zhongwu sat alone on the edge of the bed near the window, quietly watching the scenery passing by outside the window.
He still lacks understanding of this era.
After coming to this era, he first lived in Tianfu City for a period of time, and then recently came to Binhai City to participate in "Wu Zhuangyuan", and the way he came to Binhai City was by plane.
The plane flew too high, making it impossible for him to take a good look at the local customs and customs outside the city in this era.
But this time when he went to Tianque City and sat on this train, he could take a good look at the scenery along the way and gain some understanding of this era and this country.
In his field of vision, the mountains outside the car window were undulating, the vegetation was lush, and big trees could be seen everywhere.
The train had only left Binhai City for more than half an hour, and he had already seen the vast jungle, the apes occasionally flying between the trees and grass, and several eagles circling in the sky.
All this reminds him that this is not the 21st century he remembers.
This is a new world reopened after the destruction of the world by nuclear war!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the carriage door. Li Zhongwu looked over, a little confused, because Lan Ying had been guarding the door. If something happened, Lan Ying could have opened the door and come in, so why did he knock on the door?
Before he could think about it, the box door was pushed open, and a smiling Fang Xingyu came in from the outside. He closed the box door and walked to the bed opposite Li Zhongwu, saying: "Brother-in-law, Sister Lan Ying is standing guard outside for you."
You haven't enjoyed the treatment before, have you? Hehe, she used to only stand guard for the Seventh Princess."
Li Zhongwu smiled slightly, "I asked her to come in, but she insisted on standing outside the door, and there was nothing I could do."
Fang Xingyu sat down on the edge of the bed opposite and said with a smile: "I understand! That's her personality, she is very disciplined! But there is also an advantage. Since she is standing guard outside the door for us, we can rest assured and don't have to worry about anything!"
Li Zhongwu nodded slightly and asked curiously: "Is she very powerful?"
Fang Xingyu lay back on the bed, put his hands behind his head, exhaled, and said, "Of course! She is the leader of the seventh princess's guard, so she must be very powerful! No need to ask!"
Still idle, Li Zhongwu, whose curiosity was aroused, asked again: "What is she good at?"
Fang Xingyu shook his head, "Then how do I know? I have never seen her take action, and no one has told me what she is good at, but she can be named the leader of the guards by the Seventh Princess, so she must have some skills!"
Li Zhongwu nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing Fang Xingyu lying comfortably on the bed, a smile appeared in Li Zhongwu's eyes, and a bad taste came to his mind for no reason. He immediately smiled and said: "Don't you already worship me as your teacher and want to learn sword skills from me? Don't lie down."
!Get up and practice your basic skills!”
Fang Xingyu was stunned, straightened his waist, and immediately sat up, wondering: "No way? Brother-in-law, this carriage is rickety, what basic skills do you want me to practice? I haven't prepared a good and suitable knife yet.
Here! Why don't you teach me again when we get to Tianque City?"
Li Zhongwu shook his head, "What do you think kung fu is? Over time, sitting, lying and walking, paying attention to everything, accumulating bit by bit, day after day, as time goes by, kung fu can only be mastered. You can't practice kung fu in a swaying carriage? Let's do the horse steps!
This swaying feeling is just the right time for you to feel the galloping feeling of a galloping horse when you step on the horse! Get up! Start practicing!"
Where had Fang Xingyu heard of such an explanation of Kung Fu theory?
The unknown feeling made him still have doubts, but he subconsciously got up and walked to an open space and started to walk.
In the kung fu of this era, some people also practiced Zama Step, so he had seen the basic posture of Zama Step.
It felt like that was happening right now.
Li Zhongwu smiled and shook his head when he saw it. He stood up and walked over, casually hooking his foot on Fang Xingyu's left calf. Suddenly, Fang Xingyu staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Take root on the ground! Zhama step is not a pose! Do you think you are a bitch selling yourself? Just open your thighs. Good kung fu is all lifted up from the ground. If your lower body is unstable and your feet have no roots, what can you do?
Strength? Stand again!"
Fang Xingyu scratched his forehead, smiled, and started walking again.
This time, Li Zhongwu glanced twice and did not hook his feet again. Instead, he raised his hand and suddenly pressed on his right shoulder, suddenly pressing down a large part of his body.
With a "pop", Fang Xingyu was caught off guard and fell solidly to the floor.
"Brother-in-law? What's wrong?"
He raised his face and asked a little aggrievedly.
Li Zhongwu suppressed his laughter and said: "You didn't thrust your horse into the right position! With your butt stuck out so high, does it mean your butt is round? Or have you just finished pulling and are waiting for someone to wipe it for you? Come again!"
Fang Xingyu, who has been well protected by his family since he was a child, has never heard such words of tiger and wolf?
His face turned red immediately. After listening to Li Zhongwu's lesson, he quickly got up and started walking again.
This time, Li Zhongwu slapped his waist with his right hand and said: "Stand straight! For martial arts practitioners, the spine is the dragon in the body! All the power in the legs and feet is transmitted from the spine to the shoulders, elbows, fists, and fingers.
! Therefore, when standing in the stance, you must straighten your waist and carefully feel every ounce of force from the soles of your feet transmitted through your calves and thighs to your spine, shoulders, elbows, and fists and fingers! You must keep these power transmission routes firmly in mind.
In your mind, practice your instincts! There is an old saying called 'waist and horse unity'! It means integrating the strength of the horse step and the waist. When you practice the waist and horse unity, every punch and every palm of your hand will
, or every time a knife is struck, it is no longer just the strength of the arm, but the strength of the whole body!"
Li Zhongwu tried his best to explain this to Fang Xingyu in life-like language.
He had just asked Fang Xingyu to stall. Although he had a bad intention, he wanted to teach Fang Xingyu something during the trip, which was true.
Since he has accepted Fang Xingyu as his disciple, he will not mislead others.
Fang Xingyu listened intently to Li Zhongwu's words, and also carefully felt the power transmission in his body.
But for a while he couldn't figure it out.
At this time, a question came to his mind, and he couldn't help but ask: "Brother-in-law, do we have to stand on horseback when we combine martial arts? Isn't it okay if we don't do this? As far as I know, many martial arts nowadays,
There’s no need to stand still.”
Li Zhongwu glanced at him funny, put his hands behind his waist, and said casually: "You want to know the benefits of Zamabu?"
Fang Xingyu nodded repeatedly.
"Yes! If it is really beneficial, I will definitely practice hard!"
Li Zhongwu walked up to him with a smile, stood in front of Fang Xingyu who was striding, and asked: "Now that you are looking straight, what part of my body do you see?"
Fang Xingyu's eyes were puzzled. He didn't understand why Li Zhongwu suddenly asked this seemingly unrelated question, but he still answered: "The position of the chest and abdomen!"
Li Zhongwu asked again: "With your current posture, which parts of my body can you attack?"
Fang Xingyu subconsciously looked at Li Zhongwu's legs, crotch, waist and abdomen, then raised his face slightly, looked at Li Zhongwu's throat, chin, and face, and replied hesitantly: "Your legs, crotch, waist, ribs, and chest are all very
It's easy to attack, and if you raise your hand and hit it upward, it can also hit your throat and chin."
Li Zhongwu: "Get up slowly!"
Fang Xingyu didn't understand what he meant, but he still obeyed and slowly stopped his horse and stood up straight.
Li Zhongwu: "Now recall it! When you were slowly getting up, which parts of me could you attack?"
Fang Xingyu was stunned, "Chest, throat, your left and right shoulders, chin, face, neck, top of your head?"
He mentioned a part when he thought of it, and by the time he finished talking, he had mentioned almost all the parts of Li Zhongwu's upper body.
Li Zhongwu smiled and asked, "Do you still think Zamabu is useless?"
Fang Xingyu was confused, "Brother-in-law, you mean that Zamabu can make it easier for us to attack various parts of the opponent's body when fighting against others? But I remember some people on the Internet said that Zamabu is to practice the strength of the lower body.
Ah! Are all those people on the Internet wrong?"
Li Zhongwu turned around and walked to the small table by the window, looking at the scenery passing by outside the car window, and said: "Our unified martial arts are divided into training methods and fighting methods. The training methods and fighting methods are definitely different! And the training methods and fighting methods are definitely different!
What you asked just now, and what I just said, are the differences between training methods and playing methods!
In terms of training method, Zama Step really exercises the strength of the lower body. This is a major function of Zama Step!
In terms of fighting style, what I just told you is that during the process of zamabu and getting up, you can quickly change the body parts of the opponent to attack, which is another function of zamabu!
You can imagine that when we are about to fight with our opponent, the opponent does not have the horse stance skills, but you do. And the moment you are about to fight, you suddenly sit down on the horse, stretch out your hands, and attack the opponent's chest with your feet.
Is it easy for the opponent to defend the abdomen and parts below the chest and abdomen?"
Without waiting for Fang Xingyu to answer, Li Zhongwu had already asked and answered his own question, "People who have not mastered the horse stance will be very uncomfortable facing this kind of fighting style that specializes in the chest and abdomen. His fists have to hit downward to hit.
You, he will not be able to exert his force smoothly! But if you are used to the sitting-down style, your force will be very smooth, and you can stand up and attack at any time. When your legs suddenly straighten to attack, the soles of your feet will
The reaction force will be instantly transmitted to your fist or blade, allowing you to quickly change the parts of your opponent's body that you attack, and at the same time, you can also perform more powerful moves.
To put it simply! In terms of playing style, people who do not have strong horse stance skills will have obvious flaws in the defense of their chest, abdomen and crotch, and it is easy for them to have empty goals. However, for those who have strong horse stance skills,
Not only can we protect our chest, abdomen, waist and ribs, and crotch very well, but we can also attack these parts of the opponent more easily. Between sitting down and sitting up to attack, we will have more attack targets.
We can switch our attack targets at any time!"
As for the common knowledge that zamabu can exercise the strength of the lower body and improve the explosive power of the legs, Li Zhongwu felt that there was no need to elaborate on it with Fang Xingyu.
You can find a lot of those things just by searching online.
He just wanted to impart some of his own insights to Fang Xingyu based on his own experience.
What he said made Fang Xingyu stunned for a moment, as if he had seen a new world.
