"Old child" is a word that more appropriately summarizes the personality characteristics of the elderly.
This means that when a person gets older, his temper often becomes like that of a child, very naive, very willful, and always moody. He has to be coaxed into doing everything according to his wishes.
The same is true for Mr. Yu. At the beginning, he was indeed very angry with Hong Yanwu. So even if Hong Yanwu resumed his practice and showed unprecedented diligence, he could not get rid of his anger. He even doubted whether Hong Yanwu was acting and could
Do you want to persist?
It was not until two months later that the old man's anger dissipated when he saw that Hong Yanwu was still practicing hard as usual.
Logically speaking, master and disciple should be on good terms with each other by now, but Hong Yanwu privately began to sleep on stone pillows, practice splitting bricks, and look for boxing records. This immediately made Master Yu feel a lot of idle anger.
The old man took it for granted that this was a distrust of his master's teaching methods, or a protest by his behavior, so the old man decided to let the apprentice hang out for a while to see what new tricks Hong Yanwu could come up with.
This also corresponds to the saying "haste makes waste". Hong Yanwu did not expect that it was his "eagerness to pursue art" that actually delayed his progress in learning art. In fact, this can be regarded as a reflection of "being smart".
This word is a better example.
However, as the saying goes, "Where there is sincerity, there will be gold and stone." Every master likes children who are truly willing to work hard.
Hong Yanwu has been practicing this attack vigorously for half a year, and he has never slacked off for a day. On countless days, in the midsummer with the scorching sun, in the cold winter with the north wind, even though he was the only one left in the yard, he still managed to
Practicing vigorously.
Due to the effort that ordinary people would not put in, after half a year, not only did his thighs become stronger, his arms became thicker, and his strength became stronger. Moreover, after practicing the Kung Fu for three to nine days, even though he was wearing only one pair of pants and one coat, he was covered in sweat.
It's white hair and sweat. The clothes are as if they were fished out of water. This has basically reached the point where "cold will not invade".
For Mr. Yu, seeing this scene was unbearable. This naturally proved that Hong Yanwu's painstaking pursuit of art was not just a whim. The old man was even happy to find that he had another apprentice who had the qualifications to become a master.
.
It's just that because Hong Yanwu's change was too sudden and too extreme, Yu Ye was still a little worried. He was very worried that Hong Yanwu was angry, irritable, blindly pursuing quick results, and would make rash advances in the future.
So he took great pains to add an additional final test for his apprentice.
That day, after Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan came back from school, a mountain of sand and soil suddenly appeared in Yuye's courtyard. Yuye called Hong Yanwu over alone and told him, "Go and move all the sand and soil to the pit at the base of the west wall. Remember to move
How much sand and dust have been removed from the dustpan? Quanzi is not allowed to help you, you do it alone, do you hear me?"
After Hong Yanwu nodded, Master Yu brought a large iron dustpan and picked up a dustpan full of sand and soil to demonstrate to him.
"Look, you have to move it like this. Straighten your waist at the base of the pile, straighten your upper legs, raise your hands flat, squat down slowly, squat to the end and then pull it up, otherwise it won't shake."
As a result, late at night, when Hong Yanwu had completely rubbed the sand and was too tired to get up from lying on the ground, Master Yu came out of the house and asked Hong Yanwu how many times he had moved the sand.
Hong Yanwu opened his mouth and answered, "921 trips."
At that time, although Mr. Yu was calm on the surface, he couldn't help but nod silently in his heart. It turned out that he had already measured the Shatu Mountain himself, and the number was exactly right!
To put it bluntly, it was from this incident that Hong Yanwu showed his down-to-earth attitude that completely reassured Master Yu. The old man no longer worried about his apprentice's impetuousness and opportunism. Later, he agreed.
The sentence that taught Hong Yanwu’s moves.
However, Hong Yanwu himself was completely in the dark about this assessment.
In fact, he was severely oppressed at this stage but had nowhere to vent. He simply deliberately used his own body to vent his anger. He lied completely unintentionally and got through this level by accident.
He even thought later that Master Yu only recognized him because of his hard work. Therefore, from then on, he became more and more cruel to himself, and his pursuit of practice became more and more extreme.
Already.
This cannot but be said to be a shortcoming of the ancient inheritance model.
In the past, the master used to teach martial arts in a foggy way, and wanted his apprentices to understand it themselves. As the saying goes, "Practice martial arts for half your life and teach your apprentices in one sentence."
In fact, this method is equivalent to "enlightenment of Zen". If it can be successful, the effect will be the best. But as everyone knows, on the other hand, it will often cause the disciples to misunderstand and go astray.
Of course, some skills and principles in martial arts are very "physical" things after all, and they can only be understood through personal teaching and practice. However, some simple principles are also used in this way, which is probably due to rigid thinking and habits.
Already.
But in short, no matter what, Hong Yanwu finally passed the final test of Master Yu and became a "good piece of steel" in the eyes of the master. So early in the morning after moving the sand, he and Chen Liquan went to
, each received a wrestling jacket from Master Yu.
And starting from the time they put on this coveted "Hengrenshu" and added a new "wrestling pit" in the courtyard, it meant that Master Yu finally began to teach them attack techniques and "sharpened" them both.
Already.
There is a saying in the wrestling industry that describes the many techniques, that is, "There are three hundred and six big stumbling blocks, and there are as many small stumbling blocks as hair."
The wrestling skills passed down from the Yuye family have been perfected by more than ten generations. They have been verified and enriched by countless competitions in Shanpu Camp and in front of Yujia. It can be said that it has captured the essence of wrestling skills of all ethnic groups in the world.
Therefore, Master Yu, who knows all kinds of wrestling skills well, does not have to stick to the rules like other people and only teach two apprentices the same basic tripping routine. Instead, he can teach the two apprentices in accordance with their different characteristics and teach them the same skills.
The move that best suits your personal conditions.
For example, because Master Yu saw that Hong Yanwu’s leg skills were relatively solid and he could move more nimbly, he specially taught him a set of offensive movements with his legs - "kick", "earn" and "li tongzi".
The so-called "kicking" actually means "throwing the kick." What is important is that while kicking the opponent's lower body, one of the hands must pull and the other push and push to distract the opponent's center of gravity. The footwork includes an upper step and a cover.
Differences include steps, three-point steps, wheel steps, etc., which are the most commonly used stumbling blocks for sparring in the coordination mode of hands and feet.
As for "Zhuan" and "Li Tongzi", they are basically the same as "kick" in terms of technical characteristics, except that "Zhuan" specifically refers to "kicking" without raising the leg, while "Li Tongzi" specifically refers to kicking the shin of the leg with the same name.
It's just the inner lower side.
To be honest, although this "kick kick" sounds simple, it has an extremely wide range of applications and can be used both offensively and defensively. In actual combat, once the kick fails, you can immediately change it to hook, don't, cut, enter, etc.
Face tripping, therefore, is the most varied of all tripping moves, and it places high demands on the practitioner's ability to improvise and react.
That is to say, Mr. Yu has a keen eye and saw through Hong Yanwu's out-of-the-box personality and love of change at a glance, so he decided to pass this trick on to him first.
Sure enough, Hong Yanwu did not disappoint Master Yu. He was very smart and had a strong ability to imitate. Master Yu only taught him the movements two or three times before he could imitate them and even mastered the essentials very quickly.
So, under the old man's guidance and countless repeated drills, within a month, Hong Yanwu had already kicked the side door, kicked the straight door, kicked the door backwards, kicked the big door, kicked with fake rubs, and kicked the real thing.
, heavy kick, bounce kick, neck hug kick, arm hug kick, lift kick, neck kick, blocking kick, drop kick, falling kick, flying kick, there are no less than dozens of hand and foot changes that I am basically familiar with.
Heartbroken.
As for Chen Liquan, he is characterized by solid basic skills, a calm and steady temperament, and the ability to withstand boredom. Therefore, Master Yu did not teach him any complicated moves. Instead, he only asked him to practice the simplest movement this month - guessing.
This move is commonly known as "carrying the pocket", and some people call it "carrying the shoulder". It means grabbing the opponent's clothes, turning around, carrying the opponent on your back, and throwing him down.
This trick is simpler than "splashing the feet", but it also requires a lot of effort. There are also many technical requirements, and every movement must be done meticulously before it can be done.
For example, according to Yu Ye's requirements, when knocking the opponent down, the body should be straightened and bent downward, the head should be plunged deep into the middle of the legs, the legs should be suddenly bent from half-bent to straight, and the hands should be bent.
You need to have a handful of strength to pull the opponent down. Only by twisting these forces together and the inertia of luring the opponent to pounce can the opponent be firmly thrown to the ground.
Chen Liquan was obviously not as fast as Hong Yanwu in memorizing moves. He first practiced it dozens of times with his bare hands, and then practiced it with Yu Ye. Finally, he used equipment to adjust the technical details with a sack of "sand man". It took him a month to complete it.
This action has been polished to a certain level.
At this moment, the two apprentices have each entered the stage of real wrestling. What is particularly obvious at this time is that it reflects the benefits of Master Yu who has been using their basic skills for three years.
Because just mastering the movements is not the same thing as applying them in a fight. In actual combat, you have to integrate the techniques, footwork, and changes in strength, and practice it to the point where the opponent can respond naturally to the slightest movement. If you want to
To fully understand the situation and make the correct response to each opponent's reaction requires repeated attempts to gain experience, which is extremely exhausting.
For ordinary people, it would be impossible to work hard for just a few months. But there is a saying that "the more you accumulate, the less you gain". Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan had enough effort to support them because their waist and legs could keep up, so it only took them a few days.
I have practiced to the point where my movements penetrate deeply into my bones.
Although at the beginning of the actual combat practice, the two of them could not touch Master Yu's waistcoat at all. No matter how he tried to get close, Master Yu was tightly guarded against him. But gradually, when they became more proficient, they were finally able to do it when you came.
During the confrontation, I took the opportunity to try to attack Yu Ye once or twice.
After practicing at this point, Master Yu had a sense of balance in his mind. He knew that both apprentices had reached the point of training, so he started to let them compete with each other.
Sure enough, in the next battle, Hong Yanwu showed off his skills, frequently using different kicking techniques, and easily kicked Chen Liquan down into the sand pit with his "splashing kick". It was so beautiful that he had to do several somersaults in the yard before he could stop his excitement.
.
And Chen Liquan didn't give in too much. Although he only knew how to "carry a bag", he could use clumsiness to defeat skill. It would be better if Hong Yanwu could avoid it, but if he caught him in his trousers, he would definitely be stuck in the sand pit if he followed.
inside.
In this way, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, just like students in the liberal arts and sciences classes, experienced what real wrestling is in their own different ways. Those seemingly simple movements, when competing with their opponents, are no more boring than those in ordinary times.
Basic training is completely different.
The sense of comfort when grasping the opponent's position, the ingenious change of strength, is as refreshing as the bright moon in the arms. And the sense of accomplishment when the opponent is knocked down is more like a song from
Music from the sky or brilliant images like the sun burst into their hearts, making them soul-stirring and extremely joyful...
