When she arrived at the Zhenfan Martial Arts Hall, Bruce Lee's wife Linda was not sleeping, but greeted her mother-in-law in very broken Chinese.

But fortunately, Bruce Lee's mother is not an ordinary old lady, not only can speak English, but also is very fluent, and there is no obstacle to communicate with this foreign daughter-in-law Linda.

This surprised Huo Yaowen a little.

In fact, Mrs. Li's mother He was born with a bit of background, and her adoptive father was He Gantang, the half-brother of He Qidong, the richest man in Hong Kong, so the family was well-off and the conditions were good.

In the early years, she not only studied in a girls' high school in Shanghai, but was almost admitted to university, but later came to Hong Kong to meet Li Haiquan, a famous actor who came to Hong Kong to perform Cantonese opera at that time, and married and stayed in Hong Kong.

Perhaps considering that everyone had just flown to the United States and might be a little hungry, Linda ran to the kitchen to cook some noodles to entertain everyone.

After eating the noodles, everyone washed up separately, and after tossing, the sky was about to be cloudy, according to Nie Hualing's meaning, take a break for a while, and wait for seven or eight o'clock in the morning to go to the airport to see if there is a flight to Iowa.

But under Lin Yanni's persuasion, she agreed to stay in the martial arts hall for the time being, and wait until the afternoon to go to the airport to have a look.

Although the martial arts hall is quite large, in addition to the bedroom of Bruce Lee and his wife, there is only one room that can be cleaned up and vacated for a temporary rest.

However, the rest room of the martial arts hall can be temporarily rested for a few hours.

In the end, it was a simple arrangement, and the women lived in two rooms, while Huo Yaowen was resting with Bruce Lee and Li Zhongchen in the lounge.

...

That day, at about ten o'clock in the morning, Huo Yaowen was dazed and heard the sound of scolding and banging outside, opened his eyes and looked around, and saw a lounge that was not very large and full of various exercise equipment, fist gloves and sandbags, and then he remembered in a daze that he was resting in Bruce Lee's martial arts hall.

Huo Yaowen sat up, glanced at Li Zhongchen who was next to him, saw that he was still asleep snoring, and did not disturb the other party, quietly got up and walked towards the suitcase, took out the towel and toothbrush from the inside, and walked out of the lounge to see, good guy, there are more than 20 strong men in Ulala who are training fiercely outside.

At this time, Bruce Lee, who was teaching students, noticed Huo Yaowen who came out of the lounge, said a few words to the students, turned around and walked over with a smile: "Mr. Huo is awake!"

"Hmm. Huo Yaowen smiled back and glanced around, although most of them were Chinese, there were also many whites and blacks.

Bruce Lee asked: "Yesterday, I heard Mr. Huo say that he also likes national arts, but I don't know what I learned about that school's kung fu?"

Huo Yaowen smiled softly: "Haha, Mr. Li said that he laughed, I just love national arts, but I haven't really learned the kung fu of that school." ”

"Oh, what did Mr. Huo say yesterday was the book that wrote the national arts?"

Although Bruce Lee knew from his eldest brother Li Zhongchen yesterday that Huo Yaowen was a university teacher and a writer, he was surprised when he heard that he didn't know any kung fu, but he was also surprised that he was going to write a book about national arts.

"It is written about the story of martial arts during the Republic of China. ”

Huo Yaowen smiled and said: "During the Republic of China, the martial arts of various genres were developed to the greatest extent, and I read a miscellaneous book earlier, which recorded the top ten masters of the Republic of China, and I yearn for this, so I want to write a story about the martial arts of the Republic of China." ”

"Republic of China martial arts?"

Bruce Lee raised his eyebrows and said, "If Mr. Huo wants to write this, I think it's better to dispel this idea as soon as possible." ”

"Why?" Huo Yaowen was puzzled.

"There are many martial arts halls in Hong Kong that have been relocated from the mainland, and most of the people in the martial arts of the Republic of China have left a heritage, if Mr. Huo once writes the characters in the book, there is a little bit of a dispute about a certain school of martial arts, I think someone will definitely be unwilling to find the door. ”

Bruce Lee has been practicing martial arts in Hong Kong since he was a child, so he is very aware of the open and secret battles between various martial arts schools in Hong Kong, Huo Yaowen wants to write the story of martial arts in the Republic of China, so it is indispensable to praise one martial arts and belittle another.

"Mr. Li is right, I have been worried about this before. ”

Huo Yaowen sighed in his heart, he had thought about this matter before, so he didn't write it for a long time, only wrote an outline and the previous text, and then didn't continue.

"Mr. Huo doesn't have to worry too much, sooner or later he will have a chance in the future. Bruce Lee patted Huo Yaowen on the shoulder, saw that he was holding a towel and toothbrush in his hand, smiled, pointed to the corner of the martial arts hall, and said, "Mr. Huo's bathroom is over there." ”

"Well, okay. ”

Huo Yaowen took a towel and a toothbrush and went to the bathroom to wash.

After the others left, Bruce Lee glanced at the movements of the student just now, stepped forward and shouted in English: "Jack, how did you practice? This trick is called waist and horse integration, what do you see you are standing with? Like me, his legs are open, and his breath is heavy." ”

Jack, a white guy, said with a bitter face: "Bruce, this is too difficult, what do you say about breathing to the stomach? I only know that the breath goes to the lungs, but not to the stomach." ”

Hearing this, Bruce Lee almost laughed out loud, but it is still very difficult to translate the sentence of the angry dantian to Jack completely, even if he has been in the United States for so many years, there is no way to explain the correct meaning of this word.

After thinking about it, he said: "Qi Shen Dantian doesn't mean that you breathe to the stomach, you should know that people who play the saxophone have a good lung capacity, right, you can understand that you can take a deep breath, hold it, and then let this breath sink to the lower abdomen as much as possible, and then control your breathing, the slower the exhalation, the better, so that after a long time, you will feel that you can control the exhalation." ”

Jack, a white guy, did the same, but his face flushed, but he still couldn't understand the meaning of the word Dantian.

In this regard, Bruce Lee could only shake his head, turned around and walked to the sandbag, and said: "Okay, this is a bit difficult for you beginners, today I will teach you how to practice boxing." ”

"Bruce, I can box, I'm a boxing master in school!" Jack, a white guy, said proudly: "So I don't need to learn boxing, I want to learn your Jeet Kune Do, that's so cool, intercept someone else's fist and fight back, it's much more interesting than boxing you and punching me." ”

Bruce Lee glanced back at Jack, although he knew very well that Americans were very direct, but the other party wanted to learn Jeet Kune Do on the first day of class, which was too fast.

But after thinking about it, he still said: "Strictly speaking, Jeet Kune Do is not like boxing, there are all kinds of combination boxing routines, you throw a punch at me. ”

"Hit you?" Jack was stunned.

"Yes, punch me. ”

Hearing this, Jack punched lightly, but only to the side of Bruce Lee's cheek.

"No, hard, be quick, be ruthless, show the momentum of your boxing master. ”

Jack was surprised, "This is going to hit you!"

"Don't worry, if you can call me, I can waive your tuition for you. ”

"Really?"

Jack smiled, rubbed his hands, shook his arm, and said, "Bruce, although I like your concept of Jeet Kune Do, you may not know that I am a college boxing champion in the Newston neighborhood, and I can punch four hundred pounds with a punch, so are you sure I want to hit it with all my might?"

"Of course!" Bruce Lee smiled.

At this time, some old students who were training nearby, when they saw such arrogant words of the newcomer, smiled at the corners of their mouths, stopped the pace of training, and watched how the interesting things in the morning were carried out.

At the same time, Huo Yaowen had just come out of the bathroom and noticed that everyone in the martial arts hall was looking at Bruce Lee and a white guy, so he also stopped and watched.

"Then I'm coming!"

Jack gave a clear indication in advance, but as soon as he obeyed the words, he blushed and threw a punch, this time, the college boxing champion can be said to have used all his strength.

thought that this punch would easily hit Bruce Lee, but what Jack never expected was that the second he swung his fist, Bruce Lee directly tilted his head slightly, quickly reached out, and punched himself in the armpit.

Although Bruce Lee didn't use much strength, the armpit is always one of the key points of the human joint, and hitting this position at the same time can easily make the whole arm lose sensation and become numb.

"Even!" Jack clutched his armpit in pain, felt the paralysis of his right hand, shook it and said in surprise: "Bruce, you're so fast, it's not fair!"

"Speed is also an essential condition in martial arts, and while you are not slow to throw punches, I am faster than you. Bruce Lee smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "So Jack, you still need more training." ”

"But I'm here to learn Jeet Kune Do!" Jack said displeased.

"There are no moves in Jeet Kune Do, strictly speaking, I can't teach you any moves, what I can teach you is how to defeat your opponent faster and more effectively, so that you can quickly find the opponent's weakness when the opponent has not yet punched, or is punching, and defeat the enemy with one punch!"

Bruce Lee quickly punched Jack in the cheek, but the fist only landed on his face, did not hit him, and said: "Jeet Kune Do is impossible for the law, infinite is limited, there are no moves, there are no routines and combinations."

Only in this way can you face various schools of martial arts, and at the same time, you can also make the opponent unclear about your way of attacking, so that no one will be your opponent, this is what I can teach you Jeet Kune Do!"

Bruce Lee said it in detail, and he explained this sentence to many whites and blacks who came here to learn Jeet Kune Do, so it was concise and to the point, and Jack naturally understood it.

He pondered for a few seconds and asked, "Bruce, do you mean that you don't have any moves in Jeet Kune Do, but how can you beat your opponent without them?" You have to know that whether it is karate, judo, aikido, or boxing, it has its own rules and moves, how can you win without moves?"

"I don't think martial arts need any rules and moves!"

Bruce Lee shook his head and said, "The original purpose of martial arts is to defeat the opponent at all costs. No matter what move you use, no matter what genre you use, even if it's on the playing field, I think that's the case. ”

Hearing Bruce Lee's words, Huo Yaowen, who was not far away, subconsciously said: "Mixed martial arts?!"

When Bruce Lee heard this word, his eyes lit up, and when he looked back, he saw that Huo Yaowen said it, and asked happily: "Huo Sheng, what did you mean by that sentence just now?"

"Forehead ......"

Huo Yaowen was stunned, it seems that American mixed martial arts has not yet started at this time, whether it is the mixed martial arts WWA that looks like a man-to-man hand-to-hand fight, or the UFC, which pioneered the iron cage fight against the rules of fighting, it will take at least ten years to be established.

Thinking of this, Huo Yaowen said: "As Mr. Li said, there are no rules, no restrictions on any fighting genre. Mixed no-rules fighting, I think that's how it should be. ”

"A game that combines all martial arts and has no rules!"

When Bruce Lee heard Huo Yaowen's words, it was as if he had found a soulmate, he had always disliked the restrictions on any moves in the fighting competition, and some rules that were not allowed to hit the eyes and crotch.

In this way, the effect of martial arts in actual combat is greatly limited, so the concept of being unable to be a law and infinity is a finite, he created the school of kung fu of Jeet Kune Do.

Ancient martial arts, but they all tried their best to defeat the enemy with one move, and if they could not use the second move, they would not use the second move, just like some boxing techniques, such as eye insertion and crotch kicking, which seemed very damaging to outsiders.

But it's important to understand that martial arts was born to defeat your opponent at all costs.

This is also the reason why there is such a wonderful kung fu as Iron Crotch Gong.

But in modern society, after all, it is not the past that you have to sign a life and death certificate in a duel, so there are still appropriate rules, but in Bruce Lee's view, the rules of the game should only avoid players hitting some key points such as eyes, crotch, and back of the head, and the rest depends on the players to make moves according to their abilities.

In the past few years, when Bruce Lee was teaching students, he had already improved his training tools and training methods a lot, and began cross-genre and cross-field cross-training, as well as kicking, punching, and wrestling unlimited comprehensive combat practice.

Teach students Wing Chun, boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, RB karate and other schools of martial arts, and then unify and summarize them, and officially created a similar Jeet Kune Do with no tricks last year.

After figuring out the integrated no-rule fighting, Bruce Lee said in surprise: "Mr. Huo seems to have a lot of insights into martial arts. ”

Huo Yaowen smiled: "Haha...... Mr. Li laughed, I just followed your words, but I don't know anything about martial arts. ”

Bruce Lee said: "It's too polite to call Mr. Li, just call me Bruce or Xiaolong." ”

Huo Yaowen waved his hand and said, "Then what's the matter, Mr. Li is older than me." ”

Bruce Lee said: "It's okay, this is in the United States, there are not so many titles, just call me Bruce, I don't know what your English name is, Mr. Huo?"

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen didn't shirk either, and said his English name "Evan." ”

"Yaowen, Evan, hehe...... Your English name is very simple. ”

Huo Yaowen smiled and said, "It's convenient." ”
