Organic Farm Author: Farmer is flying

Chapter 115: The Seed Left on the Other Side of the Ocean

At this point, Tagawa further clarified his purpose for establishing an organic farm.

For the next two days, his only goal in Yellowstone Park was to play with the two girls, mud volcanoes, colorful prismatic fountains, old faithful fountains, colorful geological wonders, beautiful vegetation, all kinds of wild animals, and even the fresh air that once attracted him deeply, could no longer attract his attention, his heart had flown back to his hometown on the other side of the world, and he was already planning the next development goal.

Finally, the trip to Yellowstone Park ended, and the three of them came out of the west gate of the park and boarded a Pan Am plane directly in Yellowstone, two kilometers away, to fly to Los Angeles, the city of angels, the last stop of their trip to the United States.

By the time they dropped off at the Peninsula in a chartered hotel, it was half past nine in the evening. Tired Xiaohui and Xu Jingyi didn't want to move anymore, so Tagawa asked the restaurant to bring dinner to the room. After eating, the three of them went back to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, Tagawa contacted Michelle as promised. Soon Michelle arrived at The Peninsula in her red Ferrari.

Seeing Michelle's car, Tian Chuan smiled: "Hospitable Miss Michelle, are you going to drive us around Los Angeles in this car?"

Michelle also smiled: "God, when I bought the car, they didn't even tell me that the car couldn't drive three customers, and I had to complain to them." ”

Finally, Tagawa contacted the hotel and asked for a Mercedes-Benz G series business car, which solved the problem.

On this day, they first went to visit Hollywood, saw the Walk of Fame, and then went to Beverly Hills in the afternoon, Beverly Hills has beautiful scenery and pleasant environment, which is very worthy of the title of "the world's most expensive villa area".

On the shopping street of Beverly Hills, Tagawa bought a lot of things for his parents, sisters and other family members, from inner and outer clothes to leather shoes and glasses, from watch necklaces to brand-name cosmetics. Michelle was stunned for a moment. Tian Chuan said to her: "I have been to the United States twice, and last time I was in the name of a business visit, but this time I just came to play, and I didn't want to bring them something back." ”

Michelle agreed with Tian Chuan's statement, but she still felt that the money spent on buying things was too much, and asked, "I understand your feelings." But if the clothes you buy don't fit, or the cosmetics don't fit, won't it be wasted?"

Tian Chuan smiled: "No. Before I came, I asked a professional to measure the size for them, and the clothes would not be too ill-fitting. As for other things, whether they are suitable or not, they will not use them. Even the clothes, they can't wear them a few times. But if I buy it, they'll be happy, and if they're happy, it's worth the money, isn't it?"

As he spoke, he turned back to Xiao Hui and Xu Jingyi and said, "Buy some things for your home, but you have to think about how to talk to them when you go back." ”

Xiaohui said: "I'll forget it, I really can't say it when I go back." Sister Jingyi bought it, it can be said that it was sent by Tagawa. ”

Xu Jingyi was a little hesitant, she didn't know her family's size, so she couldn't buy clothes for them. Tagawa took the initiative and bought watches and jewelry for her parents, and bought hundreds to thousands of small gifts for the rest of her family.

For Xiaohui's family, Tian Chuan didn't have any good options, so he had to stop buying it first.

In the evening, Michelle invited guests to dinner, and after the meal, she mentioned learning Tai Chi again. Her words are very interesting: "Tian, I have studied Chinese kung fu and know that many kung fu have a school of thought, and they cannot be taught to others casually. I sincerely ask you to teach me, and I can learn from you Chinese descendants. Master, please bow down to me!" (the last sentence is in Chinese)" said, kneeling down in front of Tagawa.

Tian Chuan hurriedly stopped her and said, "Michelle, don't be like this. My kung fu is not something that cannot be passed on to others, and in China, there are about 200 people who are learning Tai Chi from me, most of whom are my college classmates. Recently, I've been promoting a new concept of learning Tai Chi as a competitive sport, and at the same time, through a level controlled by an authority, to keep the whole program within an acceptable level. This kind of competitive sports is developed in a way that is somewhat like taekwondo or judo, and the practice method is different from the practice method within our domestic school, and the final achievement will also be different. ”

Michelle was very persistent and asked, "In other words, the Tai Chi you teach in competitive sports is reserved compared to those real ancestral Tai Chi Boxing, and you can't learn real kung fu?"

Tagawa corrected: "Not like that. Competitive Tai Chi focuses on winning within the rules, and may sometimes employ practices that go beyond or go against the underlying theories of Tai Chi. Traditional Taijiquan not only pursues combat effectiveness, but also needs to master some health exercises that are of little significance to actual combat, as well as related theoretical knowledge. Under the guidance of this traditional practice method, the speed of progress in actual combat ability is relatively slow, and it is difficult for modern people who are familiar with fast-paced life to accept it. Many times, when a boxer's theoretical accumulation and basic kung fu are well learned, he has missed the age of the best physical fitness, so it is relatively rare for a truly particularly powerful master to be seen. ”

"Of course, if a boxer's kung fu reaches a certain level, that is, when his ability to grasp the force reaches a certain level, if he wants to improve, he needs to find a breakthrough in theory and basic kung fu training, and finally he has to return to the traditional cultivation method. ”

"You want to learn Tai Chi, I don't know if you are really interested in this peculiar grasp of force because you want to improve your actual combat ability by learning this kung fu after seeing my actual combat ability. No matter what the reason, you can start learning from competitive tai chi, so that the introduction will be relatively fast, and when your ability reaches a certain level, many people should be interested in its theory and basic kung fu. If you start with basic kung fu and theoretical learning at the beginning, many people will get bored because they can't see obvious results after practicing for a long time, which is not conducive to persisting in learning. ”

Michelle continued to get to the bottom of the matter: "Tian, what kind of degree do you mean by reaching a certain level?"

Tian Chuan said: "The level of Taijiquan is divided into eight levels, and according to my estimate, the average boxer, after entering the green level, will make slow progress, and if you want to improve, you need to work hard from the theory and basic skills." Starting at the lowest level, the green level is the fourth level. ”

"In fact, Tai Chi is very widely spread in China, and basically all the tricks and theories have relatively mature officially published books to refer to, and there are not many secrets that are not passed on, and I rely on these books to learn by myself. It's just that self-study is still too difficult compared to having a teacher to teach, just like those university courses. Otherwise, where will those expensive prestigious universities recruit students? ”

Michelle seemed to understand, and didn't ask any more questions, just asked Tian Chuan to teach her some basic exercises.

Tian Chuan explained to her the most basic listening strength and force method, and taught her the method of holding the bird's tail and pushing the four positive hands. Finally, he said: "I don't know how much you remembered, but it doesn't matter, after I return to China, I will send some basic exercises to your mailbox, and you can practice according to those materials." In addition, it is best for several people to start practicing at the same time to form a certain group of practitioners in order to find the object of paired practice, otherwise it will be very slow to progress by only one person. I've also taught a few people in Chicago how to do Tai Chi, and if it's convenient you can get in touch with them, I've got their contact details here. With that, Tagawa copied the contact information of Steve and Jack the Whale to Michelle.

Michelle said, "I'll get in touch with them." In addition, I will lead some of my students and other martial arts instructors to learn Tai Chi together. It's just that my argument is too unconvincing, and I may not bring too many people to learn together. Can I record some hands-on videos with you? It's easy to attract others to practice, and it's also convenient for me to figure out the right way to exert power and move at any time. Tagawa agreed to her.

Michelle set up a camera on the spot, and then went through more than a dozen trials with Tian Chuan, recording the details of the fight between the two sides. When recording these video materials, Tagawa was very serious, and deliberately slowed down his movements and magnified the amplitude of his movements so that Michelle could record his movements more clearly.

Tian Chuan can see that Michelle's willingness to practice Taijiquan is sincere, he really wants to train Michelle to become a Taijiquan master, and take her here as a seed, hoping that Taijiquan can take root in the land of Los Angeles, attract a certain number of practitioners in the United States, and drive the development of this sport in the United States, form a certain influence, and make some preparations for the internationalization of Taijiquan in the future.

In addition, Tian Chuan also recorded several basic routines for Michelle, including simplified twenty-four styles, as well as one set each of Sun, Yang, and Chen. In addition, while boxing, Tagawa casually gave English names to the moves in these routines and explained them in English.

Sleepy for tomorrow night to fly away, this is the only opportunity to teach boxing in person, Tian Chuan explained to Michelle very carefully and comprehensively, this teaching activity lasted nearly four hours to complete.

When parting, Michelle bowed deeply to Tian Chuan and called out "master", she said: "I can feel the wholeheartedness of the master when he teaches boxing, this is a master who really wants to teach his students well, even if there is no formal apprenticeship, I still want to respect you as a master." ”
