Chapter 401 Tang Hand
"Actually, this short fight scene just now is divided into two stages."
"Oh!" Shen Lang smiled and said, "Before explaining the martial arts routine, I will first explain to you the details contained therein, so that you can have a deeper understanding of this kind of kung fu."
"Zhao Jingzhong's move to test Ding Xiu was naturally not to help Jin Yichuan vent his anger!"
"He actually wanted to test Ding Xiu's kung fu!"
"Because it was a test, he caught the opponent off guard, stretched out his palm and pressed down on him, taking the initiative!"
Lu Yang nodded and said, "Indeed, this is a very clever design. I can see that too!"
Shen Lang smiled slightly.
"Ding Xiu raised his hand to dissipate the pressure. Ding Xiu used his swallowing hand to pull him closer, and Zhao Jingzhong took advantage of the situation to counterattack."
"Hey, hey, hey, isn't there a saying about swallowing hands? Swallow hands, Teacher Shen, swallow hands!" Li Sang was so excited!
Shen Lang glanced at him, smiled slightly and continued: "If an ordinary person encountered such a situation, he would be passive."
"Who is Dante Xiu? He is a martial arts expert. He remained calm in the face of danger and reacted quickly, pretending to lean forward to avoid Zhao Jingzhong's pressure. In fact... this was a feint."
In the past, we have always heard that traditional martial arts are about using the empty to achieve the real and the real to achieve the empty, but we have never had any idea of it in our minds.
Everyone recalled what had just happened, and suddenly they understood.
Zhang Zhengdao: "I thought it was because Zhao Jingzhong was under too much pressure, and Ding Xiu was pinned by the neck and had to lower his head!"
Shen Lang nodded: "Actually, this was just a feint. He quickly used the downward force to perform a kite flip to resolve the passive situation."
The so-called kite flip is actually the work of the wire team. A single circle of 360°, from being trapped to being freed, it is that simple for a master to escape.
"The first round ends here, and Zhao Jingzhong has a slight advantage!"
"Then he took the initiative and attacked Ding Xiu."
"Ding Xiu used wrestling techniques to break free. During the exchange of hands, he leaned back to Zhao Jingzhong's side and back, used his neck and shoulders as a fulcrum, and used the opponent's armpits to throw him up and push him away using the spinning force similar to Baguazhang."
Zhang Zheng suddenly realized, "Sure enough, there is Baguazhang. When I saw it just now, I felt it was very familiar. Especially the power generation, it was very similar."
Shen Lang smiled and continued without comment: "Then, Ding Xiu successfully used a beautiful arm-circling technique."
"At this point, the second round is over, and Ding Xiu has the upper hand."
"After two rounds, the two sides ended up in a tie. In fact, it looked like a tie because Zhao Jingzhong had the upper hand. So he knew in his heart that Ding Xiu's kung fu was actually better than his."
"In this way, the plot of buying Ding Xiu to kill Jin Yichuan is established!"
Lu Yang exclaimed: "Teacher Shen incorporated many elements such as swallowing hands, grappling, wrestling, Baguazhang, etc. into a short one-minute boxing scene. It's really amazing!"
"And the martial arts design is further guided by the plot, which is even more valuable!"
Zhang Zheng nodded repeatedly, gave a thumbs up and said, "Teacher Shen, you are the best martial arts director I have ever seen. In such a short time, you were able to design, teach, and shoot almost in one take. If all martial arts films were directed by martial arts directors like you, a lot of money could be saved!"
Li Sang: Hey, hey, hey, just talk, why does it feel like you are DISSing someone?
Shen Lang smiled and said, "Okay, now let's talk about the routines we used in the fight scene just now!"
"Actually, what I used just now was a grappling and fighting technique, but in ancient times it was not called grappling and fighting, but Tang Shou."
"During the Han and Tang dynasties, the Chinese nation valued martial arts, and this skill was trained in military camps."
"The current judo, karate, aikido, etc. in Jiaoben were all developed and evolved from the overseas students in Jiaoben during the Han and Tang dynasties!"
"As for the development of modern grappling techniques in China, that was after the Qing Dynasty!" "Especially Tai Chi and Baguazhang contain a wealth of grappling and grabbing techniques, but our Chinese martial arts mainly focus on grabbing small joints, using the least amount of force to restrain the opponent, causing him to feel unbearable pain and give up the fight."
"This is a reflection of the martial arts concept of using the small to win the big, using the weak to defeat the strong, and first control and then strike."
"Think back to the competition between Nie Yuan and I. In fact, the movements were very small, and contained a variety of modern martial arts, seemingly similar routines, the use of force in Baguazhang, the throwing method in wrestling, the defense of swallowing hands... and so on. In fact, these all come from - Tangshou!"
Zhang Zheng was shocked and asked, "Teacher Shen really knows Tang Shou?"
After saying that, Shen Lang came to the open space and demonstrated a complete set of Tang gloves moves in front of everyone.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Although I have never seen Tang Shou, many of Shen Lang's movements are similar to those in karate and taekwondo.
But Shen Lang's movements were obviously smaller, and he didn't have any of the ridiculous jumping footwork and high kicks like in Taekwondo (Hwarangdo).
These movements were compact and dangerous, and every move and every style seemed to be aimed at the human joints, which almost made the people get rheumatism.
In addition, Shen Lang's "Martial Arts Master" entry flashed frequently at this moment, making each of his movements both dangerous and deadly beautiful, instantly conquering everyone.
After Shen Lang finished his demonstration, he said to everyone: "Nowadays, many people wear Taekwondo and Karate uniforms and are proud of their blue belts and black belts."
“It’s actually a very sad thing.”
“Until the 1930s, the first book on teaching karate in Jiaoben was called Ryukyu Kōfu – Tang Shou.”
"And why Ryukyu has Tang Te, I don't need to explain this, right?"
After these words were spoken, everyone fell into deep thought.
Especially a few girls, who exercise every day and often post photos of themselves wearing karate and taekwondo costumes in the gym. Thinking about it now, it’s quite embarrassing.
Zhang Zheng came to Shen Lang and said sincerely: "Teacher Shen, I really like traditional martial arts and I am willing to promote it. Can you teach me?"
Shen Lang said: "Of course!"
Zhang Zheng was so excited: "That's great, Master!"
"Yeah?" No, I am just teaching you. I won't accept you as my apprentice!
Seeing this, Li Sang stepped forward and said, "Teacher Shen, I was wrong just now. I am willing to contribute my part to spread traditional martial arts!"
"As long as you can accept me as your apprentice, I am willing to open a Tangshou martial arts school in a first-tier city to teach everyone to learn Tangshou and promote our traditional martial arts. You can own half of the shares of the martial arts school!"
"Master~~~~" Li Sang blushed a little. After all, Shen Lang was much younger than him. It would be a bit embarrassing to call him master.
But he was still hesitating.
Several disciples behind him suddenly jumped out from nowhere.
"Master!"
"teacher!"
“Godfather!!!!”
Li Sang: "Σ(⊙▽⊙"a!!!"
