Chapter 20 Spine Expansion Martial arts proverbs talk about relaxation

"Coach Gu Yang, can you practice for me your true understanding of this move? Use your own stuff. Su Zai wanted to see Gu Yang's true understanding of the trick of "hoeing the head".

Gu Yang didn't shirk, picked up the hoe, fell together, more than ten times in a row, and the whole piece of land was turned up, the same as the action he taught at the beginning, but the artistic conception was very different.

Su Zheng had a strange feeling in his heart, that is, every time Gu Yang rose and fell, it was definitely not the kind of artistic conception of hating the sky and hating the earth, but digging treasures.

In the midst of the dirt, there is a treasure. Gu Yang is digging wealth from it with his heart, obtaining physical satisfaction, and deep inner satisfaction.

It's a form of self-reliance.

"Understood. Gu Yang put the hoe down gently.

"I understand something, and I still have to think about it. Su Zai thought seriously.

"That's it. For the next month, I'll be teaching you all kinds of martial arts routines. If you don't want to practice, it's okay, what you have now on your body, you can practice on your own for ten or eight years, which is more than enough. Gu Yang turned around and left.

"This trick hoe can indeed be practiced for a lifetime. Su Zai nodded.

"Coach Oudeli told me that this hoe and head martial art is like a computer, and every movement is so precise that there is no mistake. And Uncle Blind's trick is weird, I don't know from which dead corner he pounced. And Gu Yang's action, the style is satisfied. ”

Following Gu Yang, Su Zheng was really thinking about it repeatedly.

It's an interesting move.

Although each master has the same action, they have different understandings and different ideas for this move, resulting in different powers, different styles, and different improvements in physical fitness.

In addition to physical exercise, physical fitness is more important than mentality.

If a person is depressed and dark all year round, then his endocrine imbalance will be imbalanced, resulting in a certain bad body. And if a person is happy all year round, his body will definitely be very good and live a long life.

This is a basic theoretical knowledge.

The mental method taught by Audley is "hate" and "ruthlessness", while the mental method of Gu Yang is the satisfaction of "self-reliance". The moves are all exactly the same, but when you practice, your mentality is different, and the results will be very different in the future.

But Su Zai himself understands that Gu Yang's mental method is used to maintain health and labor, soothe the body and mind, and exercise muscles and bones. And Odeli's mental rule is completely fighting.

Both are important and should be practiced alternately.

Suddenly, two words came to Su Zai's mind, that is, "yin and yang".

Originally, at his age, he would not have understood the ancient Chinese metaphysical principles of yin and yang and the five elements. But now, through the mental method of "hoeing the head", he actually noticed yin and yang, both positive and negative, which are indispensable.

"The ancient wisdom of China, the way of yin and yang, is hidden in daily life, and when encountering selective difficulties, we can find solutions from them. For example, whether I choose to use Gu Yang's mind or Coach Oudeli's mind now, if I think about it from the perspective of yin and yang balance, it is to practice both. But we still have to stick to the scientific attitude. For example, when I practice with ruthlessness and hatred, what is the state of endocrine and hormones in the body, and what is the state of endocrine in the body when I practice with a state of contentment and self-reliance. ”

Su Zai thought about a lot of things in his mind, and he wanted to go back and read more of the I Ching, to understand the ancient metaphysics of yin and yang and the five elements, and the ancient philosophy of China. At the same time, he wanted to learn the most sophisticated life sciences, human anatomy, neurology and endocrinology.

"Practicing martial arts is actually exploring the mysteries of life, but people who practice martial arts do not study it systematically. If you want to understand the secrets of life, you must do it through scientific analysis. I decided whether to go to university or to study medicine, a life science type of research industry. As for professional fighting, it can't really improve the potential of the human body, only science can. In the depths of Su Zheng's heart, he suddenly made up his mind.

"Of course, you can't slack off in martial arts, the body is the capital of all careers, and if I want to conduct life science research, I am also a good reference. Coach Gu Yang's routine practice, I won't learn it, it's not that the routine is bad, but I have to practice the basic skills of hoeing and shoveling well, otherwise I won't be greedy. ”

After Gu Yang left, Su Zheng continued to practice here.

When he practiced until dawn, he would go to school for breakfast, and then prepare to arrange a day of training for himself.

In the midst of distraction-free training, the day passed quickly. In the evening, he went into the grove, and for an hour he picked up a sledgehammer and smashed the flies on three pieces of glass, but he could not master them well, and smashed the glass to pieces.

He didn't smash the glass more, but fixed only three pieces a day.

Learn Mi Fu practice words, on five taels of silver on a piece of paper, do not put down the pen, repeatedly figure out and then move.

He is the same, and the strength of the ups and downs of this move has been brewed to the extreme.

After smashing it three times, he came to the school massage parlor, found the blind uncle, and asked the blind uncle to perform a heavy manual massage for himself.

"You've been training a lot today, and you've got a little bit of a micro-deformation of your spine, which isn't a big deal, but if you accumulate over time, you're in trouble. It can be seen that your hoe is being practiced over and over again. Uncle Blind pinched his spine first, and then made Su Zheng almost lose his breath in pain, but now he is becoming more and more proficient in relaxation and tension, so he immediately endured it and was able to talk to Uncle Blind.

"Could it be that my posture is out of shape when I practice?" Su Zai was nervous for a while, it was a big deal to practice wrong, he didn't have a coach to watch him today, and the first time he practiced, it was very likely that he didn't know the severity.

"You can rest assured that your posture is correct, but the amount of exercise is too much, causing the spine to bear to the limit, and the slight deformation, just like excessive exercise and soreness, when you practice in the future, you should pay a little attention. You used to practice with the instructor, did he give you a dredge massage after a while?"

"That's right. Su Zai nodded.

"Therefore, in the process of training, it is actually very dangerous to practice alone, and it is easy to deviate, even if it is a master for many years, because the authorities are obsessed with bystanders. The blind uncle said: "You are still in the period of growing your body, so you should pay special attention to your practice." Fortunately, you met me and can help you correct it every day, otherwise it will be difficult to recover if it is crooked. Of course, as long as you are in shape and the bone shape is fixed, then there is no problem. ”

"I see. Su Zai knew that Uncle Blind had a very thorough study of body bones, and he couldn't help asking, "Uncle Blind, what did you do before?"

Cambridge M.D., studying the hormonal response to the mechanics of movement between human cells and skeletal muscles. Uncle Blind said: "I'm quite eye-to-eye with you, after all, my set of heavy manual massage has only recently been studied, and many clinical trials have been done, and others can't stand it, only your test is okay." You want you to come to massage every day, let me do more clinical, and I can instruct you on martial arts. ”

"Is this test of mine good?" Su Zai remembered that Oudeli had said the same.

"It's hard to come across. "Uncle Blind's technique is non-stop, and every time he blows, Su Zheng hurts into the bone marrow.

"By the way, I practiced the hoe and the spine, and I felt that the spine was very elastic, why the spine was easily misaligned. Su Zai asked.

"It's because you've worked on your spine that it's out of alignment. People are not machines, and your posture is standard to the naked eye, but if it is accurate to millimeters, or even nanometers, it may be wrong. ”

The blind uncle continued to class: "The core of the hoe is the expansion and contraction of the spine, drilling up and down. There is a proverb in martial arts: the front and back are instinct, the left and right are kung fu, and the top and bottom are supernatural powers. It means that when a person is attacked in a fight, he retreats directly, and rushes forward when he hits someone, which is instinct, and it is a person. And when you encounter an attack to dodge left and right, you need to practice your skills hard, so it is called left and right is kung fu. But when it encounters an attack, it expands up and down, and it is miraculous. Boxing, free fighting and other martial arts, diving dodge hugging is the most difficult to practice, and if used well, you can directly defeat the enemy. In the boxing proverb, there is another sentence, that is: rise like a burden, move like a locust worm. It means that when you are an enemy of a person, it is like getting under the flat pole and drilling up with the strength of your whole body, while maintaining your balance, if you are a person who cannot carry the burden, you will lose your balance, keep spinning, and even fall to the ground. ”

Su Zai thought about the situation where many people in the martial arts class were burdened, and it was indeed easy to lose his balance. Two baskets, a flat shoulder, one shoulder to pick up, up and down, whether it is flat, rugged mountain road, or mud road, you can walk like flying, it is real kung fu.

It would be terrifying if this bell balance and power were applied to the fighting.

"Boy, you seem to be very relaxed during this massage, and your horizontal practice has grown so fast. Seeing that he was pinching, Su Zheng was still able to talk to himself, and he seemed to be not afraid of pain at all, and his eyes were even more shocked.

Su Zheng's kung fu seems to be rising day by day.

After a massage, Su Zai felt comfortable, his mind and body were completely relaxed, and he didn't want to move at all. I still lay down for half an hour, my head was empty, and my fatigue was gone.

"This state is medically called complete relaxation of the deep neurocortex. In this state, everything recovers quickly, the endocrine system reaches a perfect state, and the cells and metabolism can be adjusted, which leads to a longer lifespan. In fact, the best treatment in medicine is relaxation therapy. I have been studying this therapy for many years, but it is completely relaxed, it is difficult to achieve the self, and only with the stimulation of smart massage techniques can people enter. The blind uncle said: "Actually, the big corpse method you practiced is also a kind of relaxation therapy, you only sleep six hours a day, but in fact it is equivalent to a person sleeping for twelve hours." Of course, the relaxation techniques that I was able to do did not actually make people reach the most relaxed state. ”

"What's the most relaxed state?" asked Su Zheng hurriedly.
