Chapter 8: The Gokushin Kaikan
Extreme Vacuum Karate, founded by the world-renowned late martial artist Oyama Peida, pays attention to actual combat, except for the head and the lower yin, other parts can be attacked, and do not wear any armor during the training process, is the current martial arts skills in addition to Muay Thai is the closest to the reality of martial arts.
Fifty years after its establishment, the gym has been established in 120 countries around the world, with 12 million students, and is one of the largest martial arts organizations in the world, along with Wing Chun.
Not long after getting off the bus, Wang Chao saw the Extreme Vacuum Jarate Hall, which was almost a detached house with a particularly conspicuous signboard, and walked straight in without hesitation.
"Welcome."
The first thing that catches the eye is a bright lobby that resembles a clubhouse, with a large front desk and a young woman in an OL uniform sitting behind it, who stands up to greet him as he walks into the hall.
"What's the matter?"
"Hello, I want to sign up to learn karate, who should I look for?" Wang Chao walked to the front desk, looked at the female clerk and asked.
Yes, this is the decision of the dynasty, he wants to study here. Of course, this is not to say that he likes karate, or the full-contact karate of the Gokushin Flow, but because the conditions are there. As a student, he couldn't catch the Shinkansen every day to go to Yokohama's Chinatown and study at the Chinese gym there, so he gave up the famous Wing Chun gym and Tai Chi gym as soon as possible.
Then there is taekwondo, which can only kick with his legs, and he also excludes Korean martial arts that seem to perform superfluous practical meanings.
And then there's the Jiu-Jitsu gym. It looks too much like a wrestling, and the pulling and pulling is really not in line with his wishes. Of course, if all the students are replaced by girls, that's another story.
It was followed by kendo gyms, archery gyms, boxing gyms, Muay Thai gyms, etc., all of which were excluded by the dynasty due to reasons such as not being able to hold weapons in school, not being able to adapt to close combat, and it seemed that the attack method was too simple, and it hurt the body too much. So he chose and chosen, and only karate, a martial art originally inherited from Tang hands, came into his eyes.
Then taking into account the comprehensive factors such as location, distance, reputation, actual combat ability and reputation, the Extreme Vacuum Karate Gym became the last choice of the dynasty.
"If you just sign up, you can do it here. Excuse me, are you sure you want to register? The female staff member at the front desk asked with a smile.
"Yes." Dynasty nodded.
"Then please fill out this form first." The female clerk nodded, looked down and pulled one out of the stack of papers on the table in front of her, and handed it to Wang Chao. The latter reached out and took it, and after a brief glance at the contents, he borrowed a pen from the female front desk and stood there to fill it out in front of the female staff.
The content is very simple, it is the basic personal information and martial arts-related information such as whether you have received karate training or other martial arts training, whether you are a beginner, whether you have participated in a similar club on campus, etc., so it will not take long for the dynasty to fill it all out.
"Give."
"Do you have your student ID with you?" The female clerk took the form and asked again.
"Brought it." Wang Chao did not hesitate, took out the student ID he was carrying and handed it to the other party. The latter took it again with both hands and said "Wait a minute", then sat down and operated on the computer in front of him.
And this time was as the female staff said, it was not long, and it ended quickly. Then he stood up again, and while handing back the student card that he didn't need to use, he said, "Please pay the fee." ”
"More money?" Wang Chao took his student ID card and re-figured it.
"That's 18,000 yuan in total." The female clerk said. Then, as if he was afraid of a misunderstanding by the dynasty, he handed a document to the dynasty and explained softly, "Among them, 10,000 yuan is the entrance fee, 2,000 yuan is the empty-handed service fee, and 6,000 yuan is the monthly membership fee." The specific course schedule is indicated. ”
Wang Chao didn't say anything, just reached out and picked up the detailed course list handed by the other party.
Sure enough, as the female staff said, there was a detailed introduction to the fee collection, and it was clearly written that the entrance fee: 10,000 yuan - no material. Empty-handed clothes: $12,000. Monthly membership fee: $7,000 for men aged 3 to 17 and $4,500 for women. $8,000 for men and women over 18 years old. If you bring parents and children to sign up, you will be charged a preferential price of 12,000 yuan.
Note: If you join in the middle of the month, you will be charged a membership fee of 1,000 yuan per day multiplied by the remaining days. For example, his monthly membership fee of 6,000 yuan this time was calculated from this.
But next month, he will have to pay the normal 7,000 yuan due.
And Wang Chao, who figured out the charging situation, did not delay any longer, and as soon as he put the course details out, he took out the pocket money he found before going out, counted out 20,000 yuan from it and handed it to the female staff.
The latter reached out and took it, verified that it was correct, put it in a drawer, and handed him the recovered change and receipts, as well as a new set of empty clothes with the same number as the clothes he had filled out. Then he smiled again and said, "Okay, the formalities are completed, and you just need to come to class according to the time on the class schedule in the future." ”
"Is it okay to just come over? Don't you need to meet the teacher in advance? Wang Chao was surprised.
"No, I don't. But if you're worried, I can ask someone to take you in and get to know the teacher right now, and by the way, I'll also see the environment of the dojo and the training situation. The female clerk smiled.
"Well, let's see you." Wang Dynasty thought for a moment.
Hearing this, the female staff member smiled and nodded in agreement, then turned to the side and called a male staff member in a white uniform. Then he introduced the two to each other, and handed over the dynasty to the man named Takemoto Shinsheng in front of him, and he took him to visit the gym.
As one of the most famous branches of Goku Jarate in Japan and around the world, the Dojo of Gokukukarate in front of you is so large that it occupies all floors of the current four-story building, and the interior is divided into several spacious dojo classrooms, which are taught by dojo teachers, substitute teachers, and instructors of all ages.
For example, in the room in front of me, there is a middle-aged man with a slightly stiff beer belly instructing.
"That's the master of our dojo, Mr. Masafumi Tahara, who has a black belt and a fourth dan." At this time, Masashi Takemoto, who was in charge of guiding on the side, looked at the middle-aged man who was walking in the crowd with reverence, and said from time to time to correct the wrong posture of the students.
After a pause, he continued, "Alright, let's go inside." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Wang Chao to speak, he stretched out his hand and pushed, pushed open the hardened glass door in front of him, and led Wang Dynasty into the dojo.
"Hey!" "Hah!"
Suddenly, the uniform shouts poured into the ears of the dynasty like an explosion. And this, which was almost inaudible before, shows that the soundproofing facilities here are good.
Then Takemoto Shinsheng Chong noticed that Tahara Masamumi was slightly saluting here, so he walked to the side with the dynasty, quietly waiting for Tahara Masamumi to come over.
Fortunately, this time was not long, and soon, Tahara Masamune took the opportunity of an inspection to walk in front of the two.
"Master Tahara." Takemoto Shinsheng saluted again, followed by an introduction, "This is a new student, Wang Dynasty. ”
"Hello, Tahara-sama." The dynasty did the same, and leaned over to Tahara Masamune.
"Yes." Tahara Masamune looked the dynasty up and down for a while, and suddenly asked, "What's the matter with the injury on your face." ”
"Eh......" Dynasty was stunned by this sudden question, and couldn't help but look up at Tahara Masawen, and then thought about it and said truthfully, "I was beaten." ”
"So learn karate?" Tahara Masafumi's expression did not move, and he asked again.
"Yes." Wang nodded in acknowledgement.
"For revenge?" Tahara asked again.
"That's what I thought." Wang Chao smiled bitterly, "But it's not realistic." Now I just want to exercise well so that I won't be bullied again. ”
Hearing this, Tahara Masamune nodded slightly, didn't say anything, but turned his head and rushed to Takemoto Shinsheng on the side, "Okay, I know, continue to take him to visit the dojo." ”
"Yes." Takemoto Masashi answered, and then Tahara Masafumi, who rushed away again, bowed, and pulled the dynasty out of the classroom, wandering around the hall again.
"Takemoto, what did Tahara-samashi mean just now?" The dynasty who couldn't help but wonder in his heart couldn't help but ask Takemoto Masei beside him.
"I don't know." Takemoto shook his head, then smiled, "But it seems that I have a good impression of you." ”
"Really?" Wang Chao frowned slightly, and couldn't help but fall silent.
But I didn't think too much about it, after all, modern times are not like ancient times, and they still pay attention to what kind of master and apprentice, and the test of character and conduct, but all the respect contracts, since they have already gone through the formalities, then there is no need to worry about Tian Yuan will do something from it. He didn't qualify for that either.
Not to mention that the Extreme Vacuum Jarate Gym is now doing business, and even some kind of social personnel can be accepted and taught, and ordinary students with some careful thinking naturally have no problem.
Therefore, after a general tour of the hall, the dynasty left the Gokuku Karate Hall with peace of mind and moved to the next destination, Kamata Shrine.
Kamata Shrine, although it is a shrine, but it is not big, just a very small shrine, the specifications are the same, just like the general family shrine, built on a low hill specially set aside in the city, very close to the home of the dynasty in this life, with less than half an hour to walk, is the main area of the dynasty - the only shrine in the Yodogawa East Three Kingdoms, on the contrary, there are a lot of temples, Zhengde Temple, Liangyuan Temple, Hoxiang Temple, Chongxian Temple or something large and small four or five, if not for the monk no love, Wang Dynasty didn't mind going over there first to try the opportunity to see if he could find any people with extraordinary abilities and get some effective ways to exercise his spirit.
