Chapter 1274: The True Meaning of Martial Arts
Zhang Zheng said: "It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that I know all the martial arts paths of the martial arts sects of the Huaxia Kingdom, but it is more practical to say that I have involved in the martial arts of the main sects of the Huaxia Kingdom." ”
"Oh, it's no wonder you're so clear about the martial arts path of the Taiji Gate. Hong Ming, the rising star of our Yang's Taijiquan, you can easily defeat him within half a move, according to the old man, in addition to your superb martial arts and incredible speed, the most important thing is to attribute your understanding of the true meaning of martial arts and the living study and use of various exercises......"
"Yang Laogao has seen it, he doesn't dare to live and learn, the kid is just stealing, simplifying all kinds of exercises, taking the essence from the rough, and using it for me, it's nothing." Zhang Zheng said modestly.
"It's a good one to simplify the complex, to extract the essence from the rough, and use it for me. In the current martial arts world, there are very few martial arts people who have truly reached the realm of Zhang Xiaoge, so the development of Chinese martial arts needs outstanding talents like Mr. Zhang. If Mr. Zhang is willing to join Yang's Taijiquan, Lao Yu is willing to give up this position to Mr. Zhang. What do you think, sir? Yang Zhengduo said sincerely.
"No! Although the kid has been practicing martial arts since elementary school, I have never really seen myself as a martial arts person. My life battlefield is in the shopping mall, not in the martial arts arena, so I definitely don't focus my energy on martial arts. However, I still thank Mr. Yang for his trust in Zaixia. ”
"I finally understand now why you call yourself a quasi-martial artist. It's a pity that although Huaxia has one more business elite, we have one less leader in the martial arts, which is really regrettable. Yang Zhengduo said with regret.
"Even if I don't walk in the rivers and lakes, I will still pay attention and care about the development of martial arts. The kid has a few immature suggestions, I don't know if I should talk about it or not? ”
"Of course you can, Mr. Zhang doesn't hurt to say anything."
"I'm a pragmatist, and I think the biggest problem in the martial arts world now is that we must distinguish the difference between practice and health preservation and performance. The true meaning of the real traditional martial arts is to pay attention to the actual combat and technical attack, the movements should be concise, bright and practical, the means should be steady, accurate and ruthless, and the ability to control the enemy with one move should be mastered, rather than playing tricks and dead routines. ”
"What Mr. Zhang said is not unreasonable, the current development of martial arts has ignored the connotation of 'technical attack' in traditional martial arts, weakened the actual combat and technical attack that martial arts should have, and the usual training and various competitions are increasingly developing in the direction of routine performances. If this continues, the decline of Chinese martial arts will be inevitable. Yang Zhengduo said with emotion.
"My brothers and I have fought against many disciples of different sects and masters in the military and police in China, and their extremely poor performance has confirmed the status quo mentioned by Master Yang. Including your Taijiquan, although the flowing and soft movements are very beautiful, the original combat skills of Taijiquan are greatly insufficient. What is worrying is that if it continues to be passed down like this, the martial arts originally surnamed 'Wu' may have to change their name and surname. ”
"May I ask Mr. Zhang, the term 'martial arts' has been passed down for thousands of years, what else can it be replaced?" Chen Xiaoxu's senior brother Zhu Caitian asked.
"Of course, it's the 'dance technique' in dance." Zhang Zheng said.
"Haha! Mr. Zhang is right, now there are many people who regard martial arts moves as the useless flower boxing embroidered legs, and the martial arts competition as a 'chest pushing competition' that pushes and hugs, and in the long run, the martial arts of China, once evolved into the 'dance technique', Taijiquan has really become the so-called 'unity of heaven and man, unity of form and spirit' of health preservation, and the martial arts and Taijiquan in China are not far from the time when they exist in name only. Yang Zhengduo said a little helplessly.
After the establishment of the New China Dynasty, the state attached great importance to the development of martial arts, established professional associations, formulated scoring standards based on routines, and held many martial arts competitions at different levels, which played a positive role in promoting the popularization and promotion of martial arts. But the problem that arises is that in order to pursue high scores and win competitions, various martial arts schools and professional martial arts sports teams pay attention to routines in competitive training, and focus on performance in boxing training, which has become more and more distant from the traditional martial arts frame. Some old martial artists, including Yang Zhengduo, see it in their eyes and are anxious, but limited to the current status quo of 'above the champion' and 'the medal is king', they have no choice.
"Okay, Master Yang, now that you have realized this problem, the time when I want to solve this problem is not far off. Just now, I didn't have enough respect for Master Yang, and I ask your old man to forgive me. ”
"Haha! Mr. Zhang doesn't have to be too modest, if the two of us really have a competition, I will definitely lie next to Chen Xiaoxu as you said. ”
