Chapter 45: Taekwondo's Horizontal Kick (Second Update)
"Brother Bai, you martial arts practitioners have good eyesight, you can see clearly from such a distance! This is the Taekwondo gym of Lushan International that I told you, and I heard that it is also one of the only three branches of the International Taekwondo Federation in Bashu, which is qualified to assess and award black belts below three dans. The owner of the museum is the youngest black belt in South Korean history, Park Ji-chang. β
Zhou Jie's eyes widened, he looked hard from afar, but he didn't see anything clearly, and he heard Bai Ze say it so surely, even Sun Lei on the side couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Now the operation and promotion of these foreign techniques have been completely commercialized, and the effect of selling martial arts as a product is simply too powerful, and even the community has opened such a large-scale training center. In contrast, Chinese martial arts are much worse, not to mention that the inner fist is hard to find, but there are a few outer kung fu that can learn the essence, no wonder it has been thundering and raining, and it has been going downhill. β
Bai Ze smiled and sighed.
"Chinese martial arts are good, but there are too many problems in the practice, they can't accept new ideas, and they are too complicated and exquisite, so it is difficult to form a standardized system similar to taekwondo and karate, which is easy to promote, so it is difficult for most people to accept, especially those ordinary people who have no foundation." Sun Lei seemed to hear Bai Ze speak, and immediately interjected from the side, "Chinese martial arts are like Chinese cuisine, full of color, flavor, and flavor, delicious, good-looking, and everything, but this requires more than ten years of meticulous work by the master, and it is a slow work of meticulous work, while foreign techniques are simple and direct, just like KFC, McDonald's and other foreign fast food, count and count, just hamburgers, fries, chicken wings and other things, you can make them according to the manual of cooking." There is an essential difference between them, and they cannot be said in the same way!! β
"What's more, throughout the ages, violent organs have to be in the hands of the state, even if you practice kung fu and practice to be invincible in the world, if you are not recruited and recruited, then what do you want to do? Rebel? Or be a ranger who ignores the laws of the country? β
"Hey, squad leader, what you said means a little!"
I couldn't have imagined that such in-depth words would come from the mouth of a person like Sun Lei, who had never practiced martial arts, Bai Ze suddenly turned his head and glanced at Sun Lei in surprise.
"Shhhh What is this, I know a lot of things, it's all trivial! I volunteered to apply for the college entrance examination but the School of Economics of Peking University, although it has not yet started, but I have now begun to do research, just those things, just a little bit of my experience in the past few days, it is trivial!! β
deliberately put on a straight face, pretending to be very serious, Sun Lei raised her smooth chin and put her hands behind her back, but she couldn't help the smile in her eyes, and she looked proud.
"Brother Bai, don't listen to her. These are all my sister Yanyan just told her a few days ago, what kind of research and research, she lied to you!! Seeing Bai Ze's eyes constantly looking at Sun Lei, Zhou Jie immediately burst into laughter on the side, and opened his mouth to expose his sister's big words. Even with Sun Lei, she couldn't help laughing, and her crisp voice spread all over the streets and alleys for a long time.
"Let's go inside. Although my cousin is still in college, she is a guest coach here, and she comes back every winter and summer vacation to teach students. She's an authentic black belt third-rank, very powerful! I told her about the last time I was in Mount Emei, she was very interested in you, and I was going to wait for the start of school to find a time to introduce to you, but I didn't expect to meet you today, just to meet and familiarize myself. β
"What's it called? Meet friends with martial arts! Seeing that Zhou Jie and Sun Lei were very excited, Bai Ze followed the two of them in.
The taekwondo gym here is membership-based, and in addition to the students and members who pay the fee, outsiders are only invited to visit during the weekly open publicity day. But the rules are dead, people are alive, Sun Lei and Zhou Jie are obviously not the first time to come, and there are people here who are coaches, so they let them go after saying a few words to the staff at the door.
On the side of the hall on the first floor, separated by glass windows, a large spacious field is divided on the east side, and at this time, there are many young people in white uniforms, according to the order, lined up in several square teams, under the guidance of the coach, one by one, practicing the most basic high kicking movements.
When everyone came out of the ranks, they shouted loudly, and their spirits were uplifted and passionate.
These people are all the most junior students in the gym, and they have been in contact with taekwondo for less than half a year, but no matter how well they practice, but after standing next to them and taking a few looks, Bai Ze also has to admit that at least the Taoist uniforms on these young people are very neatly dressed, which is much better than the practice clothes of domestic martial arts, which are like Tang costumes and have a row of centipede buttons tied from top to bottom.
This alone can attract young people to a large extent.
In addition, the surrounding walls are written with brushes, and the ink is dripping, such as "courtesy, righteousness, honesty, and shame", "self-denial and patience", and "perseverance" and other inspiring slogans. The environment is really good.
And further up, the second floor is the martial arts arena for the senior students in the gym, these people have all passed the rank, and the lowest level is also a black belt.
Taekwondo is an official Olympic sport, and in recent years, it has blossomed all over the country, and the scale is unprecedented, so every officially registered gym will more or less participate in some domestic and foreign events, so these senior students who have taken the rank are the faΓ§ade of the entire dojo.
The more masters, the more awards, the better the effect of positive publicity.
As soon as I went up to the second floor, the whole atmosphere suddenly changed. The second floor seems to be much cleaner than the first floor, although the place is about the same, but the facilities are better, the ground is covered with thick rubber floors, the number of people is much less, and there are only thirty or forty people counting the coach.
On the nearest field, more than a dozen students with black belts around their waists were repeatedly practicing the "breaking" movement.
Compared with the ordinary students on the first floor, these people seem to be more professional and heavy, both men and women, with serious expressions on their faces, and basically without too much guidance from the coach, they can practice according to their own level.
And these senior students have been practicing here for at least five years, their movements are standardized, they shoot quickly, and they can often break through the planks and tiles with a single blow, especially the gorgeous legs, which can often cause some onlookers to admire and whisper.
Sun Lei and Zhou Jie will not be an exception, as soon as they entered the second floor, their faces immediately lit up, and a pair of eyes looked at the West as if they were not enough, and they clapped their hands and cheered from time to time.
Bai Ze was not idle at this time, except for being a little dissatisfied with the actual combat surname of taekwondo, he did not discriminate against the situation of this technique. Although it came from abroad, some traces of Chinese boxing can still be seen in taekwondo, and at the beginning of the Korean Peninsula, the so-called taekwondo association was originally called the Tang Karate Association.
But these are irrelevant things, any martial arts in the world, at the beginning must have been for the purpose of actual combat, but the times have developed to the present, the need for actual combat has been reduced to the minimum, and most people just use the technical combat to meet the needs of fitness, of course, there are more flowers. This is all to cater to the market, and it has nothing to do with the technique itself.
Just like what Sun Lei just said, the techniques of taekwondo are simple and direct, and they are very easy to learn, and the movements are artificially gorgeous and beautiful, and there is no doubt about the attraction of young people. And any kung fu in Chinese martial arts, if you want to learn the essence, it will take more than ten years of hard work, devote yourself wholeheartedly, in this fast-paced and diversified society, people's hearts have been impetuous, of course, there are few people who are willing to kill their hearts to practice.
There's no way around it. It's not something that can be solved by one person.
Practice taekwondo, at least the flexibility of the body will be good, and physical health is better than anything else.
After looking around casually, Bai Ze's eyes suddenly shrank suddenly, and his gaze fell straight on the sandbag area on the side of the field. There were five or six senior cadets standing there, surrounding a young girl in the middle with a black-trimmed gown that looked like an instructor.
Looking at the meaning, it seems to be instructing a few students around him how to practice kicking on their legs.
"Elijah, you didn't do this action well just now, the hip rotation speed is slow, the angle is not enough, this kick kick out to make the front of the thigh and chest and abdomen in a straight line, send the crotch out. Elaina, your strength is big enough, but the ligament is not enough, so you usually have to work this. β
"The horizontal kick of taekwondo, called the side leg in sanda, and the leg sweep in Muay Thai, although there are some differences in the specific movements, but they are generally the same, but they should be performed according to each person's own conditions, and they can be used comfortably and kicked hard enough. Come, you all step back, and I'll show you my own sideways kick. β
Saying that, the girl did a demonstration on the spot, first kicked the ground with her right foot, moved her center of gravity forward to her left foot, quickly bent her right foot and raised her knees, put her two fists in front of her chest, suddenly turned her hips, rotated her left foot 180 degrees, raised her right knee joint forward to a horizontal state, and then quickly kicked out her lower leg to the left front.
The instep of the foot swept the extra-large silicone sandbag one meter seven high above the ground, and suddenly snapped, the sandbag flew backwards, and then the calf relaxed, and immediately retracted and landed on the ground into a combat posture. The whole action is clean, beautiful, simple, straightforward, and done in one go.
"Hey, this kick isn't just a kick from taekwondo! I didn't expect to meet someone here who has practiced leg springing. "Thank you ----------------------------------------------------------- for your support, old Rubai!!
