A leisurely life that begins with the possession of a game character

(Don’t read it, there is no plot in this chapter.)——

Isn’t each move of Xingyiquan quite nonsensical? Do you have a gun or stick in your hand?

At the end of the feudal dynasty, strong ships, cannons and modern industry appeared in society almost overnight. Hot weapons stunned people, and public security in the modern sense also appeared. Everything based on weapons was ineffective.

At this time, how can the craftsmanship that has been stripped of its functions face new needs: fighting with bare hands to protect oneself. For thousands of years, everyone has been doing things, and suddenly only fists and feet are left. It is impossible for an optimized technical system to use the body as a fighting tool to appear out of thin air.

then what should we do? We can only improve a new system through the understanding of the past technology of using weapons, but people are not that smart, so strange-looking moves appear.

The reason why there are martial arts schools all over places like coastal ports is because modern industrial transportation has appeared in cities that used to be prosperous in dock water transportation and commercial transportation. The livelihood of people who once relied on dancing with guns and walking with sticks can no longer continue.

Using rationality, we can deduce that Chuanwu will definitely be able to fight sometimes, but it will definitely not be like this.

From the beginning of recorded competitions, it is common to see martial arts being beaten by Muay Thai.

The reason is that for a long time, Muay Thai has been a technique that uses the body as a weapon to attack and defend. The custom of wrapping hands and so on are all visible evidence. Generations of people have been thinking about how to use their fists, elbows, and hands well every day. Knees and legs, hitting you who suddenly switches from using a gun to a knife to being bare-handed will definitely be like chopping vegetables.

In the past, technology communication had to raise the threshold for entry in a disguised way, because there was no modern media in the past, and it had to rely on word of mouth. Only if you don’t explain the truth clearly and are mysterious can you increase your own value, and everyone will think that what you do is valuable. Only then will someone pay to learn skills.

But in the era we live in, everyone comes out with their skills and cashes in quickly. If you keep your unique skills hidden, no one will care about you.

So in the past, it took more than ten years to learn martial arts. The teacher said that he wanted to test your personality and ability. Instead of explaining things clearly with a scientific and systematic theory, he talked about a bunch of mysterious and mysterious things to make things seem plausible.

Why is Muay Thai so widely spread? It’s the same reason karate became popular in the United States in the 1960s. After World War II, Thailand was the number one ally of the United States in Southeast Asia. Needless to say, what happened to Japan.

The United States is a country that started with modernity. Everything it does is done with a simple and efficient modern rational style. What is modernity in a social sense? Giddens says that its ruptures have invalidated traditional knowledge over three hundred years. Knowledge has been uprooted. Time and space have been fragmented and reorganized. Traditional and geographical markers such as the location of sheep on a hillside provide The rough time became the standard timing system for train and flight schedules produced by Greenwich Time. At this time, the expert system also became pervasive, and society became efficient and energetic in an instant.

So today I went to IG and saw Muay Thai tubes and karate gyms. They are all training methods arranged according to the production logic of large machines after the industrial revolution. Therefore, their technology can quickly cultivate qualified boxers in large quantities. It is widely spread and fast. At this time, you can also get If you keep teaching in the same old way and don't fool around, what will you do for a living?

Europeans still have about three hundred years to adapt to the huge changes in modernity. From the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, this is what happened. It is common for them to be unable to keep up. The plan is to pass the martial arts properly, and it is not a disadvantage to be in the ring today, because today's training system is modern and scientific.

So why do many contemporary routines have no practical ability? Entering the era when martial arts schools appeared on a large scale, everyone competed to see who could recruit students, which is the same logic as today’s art study abroad portfolio tutoring.

Everyone competes in martial arts, but they don't bring weapons, and they can't really hurt anyone, so there is a ring and rules, and it is more like an entertainment competition. If you need to join hands in a match, there are routines based on this, such as coming up and cutting off your feet to cut off your attack channels. As for whether this can be done?

It must be useful in boxing competitions. If you show your skills in a street fight, people will slap you on the forehead.

So something that has been stripped of its content becomes a form playing with form, meaning nothing. First, it is meaningless, and secondly, it is ineffective.

Bruce Lee had an interview, which meant that for him personally, martial arts was about how to express oneself sincerely. He could easily act cool and cool, making us think he was awesome. He could easily exchange some bells and whistles for something to cover up. Himself, but expressing oneself sincerely is difficult and requires years of practice.

This statement seems incomprehensible. What is the relationship between martial arts and self-expression? If you think about it, you will feel that Bruce Lee is indeed worthy of his background. He is from the Department of Philosophy in the United States and speaks very well. Whatever a smart person does is ultimately the pursuit of self-realization. Use your ability. It is easy to realize cash but difficult to realize oneself.

Finally, one thing I have to say is that some things that are considered to be mysterious are actually good, but there is actually an invisible dating in Chinese, which is not easy for people to understand.

When bodies touch or weapons touch, the master tells you to listen. Why do you use listening? Because Chinese is a very poetic and aesthetic tool for describing abstract concepts. It allows you to understand that this is not visible but requires other things to be perceived. thing.

In modern language, it is just to sense the opponent's strength and movement to determine one's own offensive and defensive actions. Translated into the Westernized modern Chinese we are used to, it is easy to understand, but Tingjin is definitely a good word for high efficiency. It’s easy to understand for people who came before the hiatus.

Another example is the Hongquan formula, which allows you to ask if there is no bridge, and cross the bridge if there is a bridge. It allows you to build a bridge to perceive the opponent's movements. With this bridge, this kind of perception can be understood. Once it is understood, you will know how to deal with the problem. Ask, bridge, pass, the signifiers of these words are already unfamiliar to people today.

Translated, if you don't have this perception channel, you have to look for physical contact to establish this perception channel. If you have this perception channel, you need to use this channel to feel the other party's moves.

Can Chuanwu be fought? It depends on the era. Can I fight today? The method of using a weapon is suddenly adapted to the requirements of unarmed combat, and the technology is completely different from the technology of modern society that establishes a systematic method based on science to train people to use the body as a weapon.

What about when Chuanwu is not Chuanwu? I can definitely hit the ball, but I can’t hit the ball that will die early.

So there is nothing wrong with learning Chuan Wu, and it is also good to exercise. You can also feel confident when you have quarrels with people every day.

But if you have to rely on this kind of occasional practice to compete with regular martial arts in the ring, this is a matter of opinion.

Also, if you encounter a street fight and there are many people on the other side and they have weapons, you should be cowardly at this time. When someone is armed, they are always a much greater threat than when you are empty-handed.

As for what Li Min said was as powerful as the TV series, ordinary people have little hope.
