The so-called martial arts hall is actually somewhat similar to the martial arts school of later generations.
Take the Tianjin County Guoshu Museum as an example. It has regular classes that graduate in three years, full classes that graduate in half a year, and simple classes that take optional courses. The tuition fees for each class are different.
On the opening day, only two students signed up. After County Magistrate Li, Director Zeng and others left, the entire martial arts museum seemed extremely deserted.
A bunch of teachers stared at each other, unable to find anything to do, so they could only practice boxing and play with swords, guns and sticks.
Zhou Hexuan found it very interesting. He stood aside and watched the teacher teach the two students to practice boxing, but he was greatly disappointed. The teacher didn't even teach the routines. He just talked about a lot of boxing inheritance and Kung Fu theory, and then let the students
Stand.
The horse step that everyone is familiar with is one of the pile techniques.
Currently, the two students are practicing the three postures of Xingyiquan, which are not as motionless as horse steps and are living piles.
Zhou Hexuan asked Xue Dian curiously: "What is the use of practicing piles?"
"The pile technique is a basic skill with many uses," Xue Dian explained, "such as mobilizing joints and muscles, coordinating muscle veins, and becoming familiar with force patterns. The most important function is to make the practitioner stand more stable and less likely to fall. No matter in
On the battlefield, when you are still walking in the rivers and lakes, when you are really fighting for life and death, if you fall down, you can only wait for death."
"So that's it." Zhou Hexuan nodded and smiled.
In the MMA arena of later generations, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu once dominated the world. But that was just the arena. In real battlefield or street fighting, lying on the ground to defeat the enemy was simply courting death.
Zhou Hexuan asked the Sun brothers to appear and play with two coaches from the Chinese Martial Arts Hall, and then asked Xue Dian to comment.
Xue Dian frowned and said: "Mr. Zhou, it seems that what you two guards have learned is not systematic. Xingyi Quan also contains Bagua Steps, and is also mixed with various wild ways."
Sun Yongzhen said with embarrassment: "We learned martial arts secretly. The master only taught some routines and stances, and I had to figure out the rest by myself. As for those wild moves, I just came up with them after every fight."
.”
"Then you can be considered a genius," Xue Dian said in surprise. "As far as last year's national martial arts competition was concerned, you had no problem making it to the preliminaries. If you perform well, you might even get a middling rating. As for
Don’t even think about excellent evaluations, because there are too many loopholes in your moves, and you will be blinded by real masters. Just practice with me from now on, and complete your basics first.”
"Thank you, Uncle Master!" Sun Yongzhen pulled his younger brother to kneel down and kowtow.
Xue Dian stood with his hands behind his hands in a very pretentious manner, then coughed and said: "Get up, go sign up and pay the tuition."
Zhou Hexuan sweats like crazy, even a martial arts master needs to eat.
Speaking of which, the leader in today's Tianjin martial arts world is undoubtedly Zhang Zhankui, the founder of "Xingyi Bagua".
This boxing method combines the advantages of Xingyiquan and Baguazhang. It is famous for its fierce and domineering fighting style, and its disciples have repeatedly achieved good results in various competitions.
The most typical example is Zhao Daoxin. At the Zhejiang Wushu Competition at the end of this year, Zhao Daoxin won the 13th place. At that time, he was only 21 years old and had only studied under Zhang Zhankui for a few months.
This person is really a newcomer, he has never practiced martial arts before. It can be seen that the saying that traditional martial arts requires years of practice to develop skills is nonsense.
Precisely because he has so many and awesome disciples, from boxing masters to martial artists, anyone who wants to engage in martial arts activities in Tianjin must obtain Zhang Zhankui's permission, and is known as "Sai Tianba".
Zhang Zhankui is now an old man and is a highly respected man. However, for the first time, he became sworn brother to Xue Dian. You must know that Xue Dian is only in his early 40s, which shows that Xue Dian is not in vain.
A few years later, Zhang Zhankui suffered from esophageal cancer and his life was miserable. Xue Dian spent half of his income every month to support his adopted brother. It can be seen that although this man is arrogant and loves to show off, he is still very loyal.
Sun Yongzhen would come to the martial arts hall every now and then to learn martial arts from Xue Dian. When he got home, he would even stand during meals. He was simply crazy.
Sun Yonghao is just the opposite. He prefers to practice guns, whether it is a pistol or a rifle. This guy is also obsessed with driving. Every time he goes out, he begs the driver to let him drive. Even if he has no chance to drive, he will sit in the passenger seat.
Too addicted.
Zhou Hexuan had only been to the Tianjin County Martial Arts Hall once, but he was not interested in learning martial arts and practicing boxing.
Meng Xiaodong is about to give birth to full term, and Zhou Hexuan has been staying at home with her all day recently, practicing calligraphy and writing articles. On Friday, she will go to Tsinghua University for a class. She is living a comfortable life.
Speaking of Tsinghua, President Luo Jialun is also in trouble now.
Although Tsinghua University has been transformed into a national university, it still has to rely on the U.S. Boxer Grants to provide educational funds. Some foreigners and Chinese who are qualified to handle the funds have been appointed as school directors. After Luo Jialun's investigation, it was found that the Boxer Grants Fund had an account deficit of dozens of people.
Wan Dayang disappeared without a trace.
Although Luo Jialun is not as extreme as Zhu Xiang, he still has some angry youth attributes. He not only demands a thorough investigation of corruption, but also reforms academic affairs to eliminate corruption from the system.
Members of the board of directors of Tsinghua University are firmly opposed to this. If this reform is really implemented, where will they get money in the future?
As a result, the school directors joined forces with teachers and students who were dissatisfied with Luo Jialun to launch a campaign to denounce the principal, forcing Luo Jialun to resign.
Money, as long as it is involved, few people can remain innocent.
Those school directors are all highly respected and admired by teachers and students, but who would have expected that they would secretly embezzle school funds?
The north is still peaceful, but the war has resumed in the south.
Just a few days before the Tianjin Guoshu Museum was established, the Jiang-Gui War officially broke out, and the ensuing war was very funny.
First, the Guangxi general He Jian announced his support for Chang Kaishen, and then Li Mingrui and Yang Tenghui defected before the battle. The war only broke out for a few days, and the three generals under Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi had already been bribed and beaten by Chang Kaishen.
Shit!
Only a week after the war started, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi abandoned Wuhan and fled toward western Hubei.
Faced with such a situation, Feng Yuxiang from the north was a little confused and agreed to fight against Chiang Kai-shek together. Why did you collapse before I even started fighting here?
At the same time, Hu Shi and Chen Dezheng finally began to fight each other in Shanghai.
Hu Shi was extremely angry this time because Chen Dezheng actively supported the Kuomintang dictatorship, which violated his ideals of freedom. Hu Shi published several articles in succession, and even publicly questioned Sun Yat-sen's theory, and was frantically attacked by the Kuomintang's imperial literati.
Then, there is no more...
Except for Xu Zhimo's "Crescent" magazine, no newspaper dared to publish Hu Shi's article. Zhou Hexuan's "Ta Kung Pao" did not dare to publish it. Once it was published, it would be banned.
Just when Meng Xiaodong was about to give birth, the news from France finally spread back to Asia. Not only China, but also Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore and other places knew that Mr. Zhou's works had caused a sensation in Europe, and even the Governor of Saigon
I am reading books such as "The Rise of Great Powers" and "Guns".
