Chapter 169: Exchanges in the Martial Arts World

Tagawa, who was released on bail, threw himself into preparing for an exchange flow with the Los Angeles Mixed Martial Arts Association in the United States.

The candidates for the US visit have been confirmed, and a total of nine people will come, led by Michelle. In addition to Michelle, there was also a female team member, as well as seven male team members. Of these, six practiced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and seven practiced Krav Maga Israel, all of whom had practiced boxing, and some had practiced Muay Thai, karate and other kung fu. The fighting level of two of them is relatively high in the United States, and they are relatively famous in the American martial arts world. In addition, Michelle herself is also quite outstanding, and she rarely encounters opponents.

It was precisely because of Michelle's own high level that she was able to be impressed by Tian Chuan and began to learn Tai Chi from him. Coming to China to learn Tai Chi directly from Tian Chuan is also one of the main purposes of Michelle's this time.

According to Michelle on the phone, when Whale Jack heard that they had organized a group to come to China to exchange tai chi, he also wanted to come together, but his fighting level was too different from Michelle's visiting masters in their association to come together, so he finally gave up.

Hearing Michelle's statement, Tagawa missed the guys who played baseball on the farm outside Chicago. "It would be nice if we could invite them to come to China for a longer period of time, and they could consider playing in a team, and it would be easier for them to learn Tai Chi. Tagawa thought.

Knowing the list of visitors from the United States, Tagawa convened a meeting of the Tai Chi Movement Committee to discuss the lineup for this fight. This is the first foreign exchange since the establishment of the committee, no matter what, we must play the reputation of Taijiquan, not only can not lose a lot, but also can do the best without leaving hole cards.

After some discussion, the final main lineup was composed of youth players, and several fighters, including Liu Meiting, formed the main force. Tagawa himself is the initiator of this matter and will definitely appear. In addition, among the people who appeared, there was also Zhang Yunyi as a candidate for the battle. At the same time, Chen Mingyuan and another powerful martial arts red-level boxer, Lian Guohui, were also invited as reserve candidates. After all, they have never officially fought against Western martial arts, and everyone has no bottom in their hearts. Of these people, only Tagawa is more sure of winning, but he is also not sure about the other fighters on his side, and I don't know if they can adapt to the offensive and defensive methods of Western martial arts.

Tian Chuan also pulled Zeng Wenxuan of the Agricultural University Taijiquan Association into the lineup of the participating fighters, Zeng Wenxuan was the only white-level boxer in this exchange, and his strength was slightly inferior to the other participating fighters. In the past half a year in the association, under the guidance of Tian Chuan, her pusher skills have improved rapidly, and her strength is close to that of a blue-level boxer. This appearance is a training opportunity that Tagawa specially won for her, and she cherishes it very much.

After the candidates were decided, Tian Chuan led everyone to conduct targeted training for a period of time. Through the relationship with the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, he invited several players who practice boxing, judo and karate to be sparring partners, so that everyone can adapt to these common Western fighting styles as soon as possible, so as to prevent the situation of instant defeat due to the inability to adapt to the opponent's attack style.

Tagawa paid enough attention to this exchange competition. With the help of the Tai Chi craze that has recently set off in Beijing, Tagawa reached an agreement with the sports channel of Beijing Television, which has a good foundation for cooperation, and the sports channel will broadcast the exchange match. Tagawa originally hoped to be able to broadcast live, but because the TV station was inexperienced and worried about accidents, he only agreed to broadcast the video after the broadcast, but this was not unacceptable, after all, it was a new thing, and he could understand the stability of the TV station.

In the nervous waiting for the competition, the time has quietly entered December, and the exchange competition is still half a month away. The national taijiquan community, and even the martial arts community, are also paying attention to this competition, and everyone is eager to see the results of the competition and understand the actual status of traditional Chinese martial arts in the world fighting world.

During this period of time, Tian Chuan took advantage of the reason for this competition, Tian Chuan led the team of this competition, visited domestic Bagua, Shaolin, Wudang, and a number of Xingyi schools, conducted friendly exchanges, and confirmed each other's efforts. After a round of visits, all the Tai Chi boxers came into contact with a variety of technical schools, and their own kung fu has also expanded from the original simple practice of pushing hands in the door to fighting with other boxing methods, which has greatly improved the actual combat ability and the ability to adapt on the spot.

Tagawa was able to come up with this way of communicating and learning between different martial arts, and he was inspired by his own upbringing. His boxing skills have gradually improved in the fight with others. He himself fights people for a variety of reasons, most of them because of conflicts of one kind or another, and a few for friendly exchanges to improve. He couldn't create as many opportunities for others to actually fight against others as he did, so he could only lead them to go through more sects.

Most of these schools of exchange were decided by Tagawa through various ways to obtain contact information, communicate by phone again and again, and even come to the door to discuss in person. After all, many sects do not welcome this kind of stranger's request to fight. Tian Chuan first contacted Liu Donglin, who had studied in the old frame of Baguazhang, and pulled him to find another school of Baguazhang together, and then contacted his master through Lu Ming of the school's Jingwu Society, and came into contact with a quite powerful school of Xingyimen, and then like a snowball, the team became bigger and bigger, and finally everyone formed a traditional martial arts exchange group, and left contact information for each other according to the location so that they could learn from each other on weekdays.

After a round of exchange competition, the victory of the team reached nearly eighty percent, which made everyone happy. However, there are generally some special masters in each sect, and even if a master of Chen Mingyuan's level fights, the chance of winning is only five or five. There is also a demon-level figure in this team, which is Tagawa. In the confrontation with many sect masters, Tagawa actually maintained an undefeated record.

Afterwards, Chen Mingyuan said to Tian Chuan: "I always thought that you could defeat me, although the strength will definitely surpass me, but it will not exceed too much, if you are lucky, I still have a chance to win." This time, it seems that it is almost impossible for me to really defeat you. Work hard, Tagawa, I hope you can further enhance Taijiquan, and I will do my best to support you. ”

"You don't have to be discouraged, I think the fundamental reason why you're making slow progress now is that you don't have too many opportunities to play against people," Tagawa said. From now on, try to find as many people as you can, it will be very useful for the progress of Kung Fu. This is my experience. In addition, my experience in learning boxing is not a secret, not only Sister Ting knows, Sun Lao knows, but also many members of our school's Taijiquan Association know, and it can also be seen from the website. You refer to it, maybe it will help. ”

Chen Mingyuan shook his head and said: "I know your wish to revitalize Taijiquan, and I also know that you are not hiding your secrets, but I am forty years old, and my understanding and physical condition have begun to decline, and it is becoming more and more difficult to make progress." You're in your prime now, and I'm afraid I'll never be able to catch up with you again. ”

Tian Chuan said: "Look at the yellow-level masters in the committee, how many of them can compare with you and me in physical strength? But if you practice hand in hand, do you have the confidence to defeat them? This state of these old-timers is a state that can only be achieved after the understanding of Taijiquan has been deepened to a certain extent, and we are still far from them. We have a relatively strong fighting ability now, most of which is due to strong physical strength, and if my physical strength is equal, I may not be able to walk a few rounds in front of these bosses at all. When we practice Tai Chi, don't we hope to pursue such continuous progress? You have to cheer up, and we are counting on you and Teacher Zhang to support you in this exchange with the Americans. ”

Chen Mingyuan smiled bitterly: "At such an old age, I actually let a little hairy child give you a lecture." What else do you say to support this competition, with you and Meiting here, what else can we support. ”

Tian Chuan shook his head and said: "In the entire Taijiquan world, I can't be the only one, or a few people, the Taijiquan world needs a large number of masters to stand up and stand at the forefront of the martial arts world in order to drive the progress of the entire Taijiquan." Judging from the current situation, you, me, Sister Ting, Teacher Zhang Yunyi, etc., can all be regarded as figures close to the peak of the Taijiquan world, but there are still too few such figures, and they are still too far from my expectations. ”

Speaking of this, Tagawa paused for a moment, as if thinking about how to express himself, and finally said, "I have always wanted to organize a national Tai Chi Pusher Grand Prix that is held every year. In my imagination, there must be more than 100 players in each division, and the gap between these players should not be too big, and there should not be a situation where the strong stand out and the others are too weak to bear to look at directly. The contestants, even if they come out with the worst, should be masters who can deter one side. Only in this way can the reputation of this boxing method be resounding. ”

"In order for these masters to emerge, it is necessary to greatly increase the number of people who practice Tai Chi Tuihou. Only when there are more people for basic practice can more excellent fighters be selected/produced. Now in the capital, there are more young people practicing Tai Chi, which is far from enough. If one day, we can see Tai Chi gyms all over the country, and every morning, we can see a large number of young people practicing Tai Chi, this wish will be possible. ”

"I put the sports meeting that Tai Chi Tui Shou participated in at Agricultural University, and there was no way to do it. Because out of the Agricultural University, there are too few people who practice Tai Chi Tuishou, and they really can't organize a competition. As the backbone of the Tai Chi community, we have an unshirkable responsibility, let us work together to achieve this goal. ”
