Chapter 272: Boxing

Kim Do-jun nodded, he didn't expect Brother Gary to hold on for such a long time, it was really unexpected.

"Ji also asked me this question before, why do you insist on practicing boxing for so long, and you are not a professional boxer, there is no need, and then I only told him, because I like it, so I insist, boxing is like falling in love, the longer the time, the deeper the feeling, which is why I can't let go of boxing, I can't let go of that woman, he used to use two hands, I only used my left hand, and it was also a round to knock down to the ground, and my taekwondo and aikido are a total of 8 dans, and I used to rely on martial arts strength, I also attended the Department of Police Nursing at Yongin University! ”

As soon as Brother Gary finished speaking, Kim Do-jun said with a smile on his disbelieving expression.

"Cut, Brother Gary, stop teasing me! Trying to lie to me again? ”

Gary didn't refute at all, he didn't want to explain, he didn't want to explain, those who were willing to believe would naturally believe him, and those who didn't want to believe would be useless even if they explained more.

He doesn't have any sense of victory, he just wants to make music quietly by himself, even if he occasionally goes on and off variety shows, that is not his true character.

In Gary's eyes, the self off the stage is completely different from the self on stage, and the self in music is completely different from the self in the variety show.

"Really?"

Kim Do-joon looked at Gary's expression with sincerity and a little disdain.

"What do you think?"

It took a while for this sentence to come out of Gary's mouth, and in less than 20 minutes, Kim Do-jun and Gary arrived at the boxing training gym.

Kim Do-joon followed behind Gary. Take a look to the left. Take a look on the right. Although boxing was very popular in the United States, there were many people who paid attention to it, and there were many heavyweight boxing championships every year, Kim Do-joon still felt that it was too bloody and violent at the time, and he didn't watch it much.

At this time, like a curious baby, he followed behind Gary's buttocks and watched the setting of the training hall.

I don't know if everyone is resting today. Or for other reasons, there weren't many people at all, just three or four people stood under the stage doing warm-up exercises, and after seeing Gary, they nodded and said hello, and started training again.

"Daojun, follow me to do a few sets of warm-up exercises first, otherwise you will get hurt! If you can't do physical activity, it will affect the quality of the action, and you will be fit. Sure you know! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Kim Do-jun nodded. Gary went to the locker room to change clothes first, and after changing clothes and coming out, the two of them started to warm up in place.

20 minutes later, Kim Dojun was sweating slightly, feeling that he had almost warmed up, but he didn't expect Gary to hand over a pair of skipping ropes and speak.

"Go and jump for a while yourself, it's good for you! Best for beginners who practice boxing! ”

After saying that, he turned around and was busy with his other training.

I won't let Kim Do-joon spar as soon as I come up, if I don't understand it, wouldn't I let him die?

Jumping rope in boxing can work all the muscles that boxers need to work – arms, shoulders, waist, legs, because the whole body will get up when doing various jump rope exercises.

The place where the workout should be done will not be left behind, and this aerobic exercise also strengthens the boxer's cardio and lungs.

In fact, skipping rope is not only a muscle exercise, but more importantly, it can exercise the boxer's eye and hand coordination.

When jumping rope, your brain, eyes, legs, and arms need to work in harmony so that the rope can fly around your body at will, and the faster you jump, the higher the requirements for their coordination, which is the same as the requirements of a boxer in the boxing ring.

Kim Do-jun picked up the skipping rope and looked at Brother Gary, while jumping up by himself, it was okay at first, but after jumping for a while, he found that his legs were like being filled with lead, and he couldn't lift them at all, so he barely survived.

Skipping rope is also skillful, but Kim Do-joon hasn't touched the doorway yet.

Kim Do-joon felt that his T-shirt and shorts were already wet with sweat, and just when he couldn't hold on, Gary beckoned Kim Do-joon to come to the boxing ring.

Relieved all of a sudden, he put down the skipping rope in his hand, and according to Gary's instructions, picked up the mat from the ground and climbed up.

There are generally two types of mats for sparring partners, generally called foot targets or defensive targets, which can be hit with fists or legs.

And Kim Do-joon is holding a special boxing target, which is round and called a boxing target.

Kim Dojun looked cautious, looked at Brother Gary wearing his gloves, and whispered.

"Brother Gary, lightly start, I'm afraid you have too much strength!"

Before he finished speaking, Gary rushed over with an arrow and slammed a straight punch into Kim Do-joon's target, taking several steps back.

"Come here, be serious!"

Gary said calmly, as if he was standing in the boxing ring, he had become a real boxer.

Kim Do-joon holds a round target in one hand and protects his arm with the other.

"Whoosh!"

A set of combination punches came down, and was actually eaten hard by Kim Do-jun, just came down and was fine, less than 10 seconds, Kim Do-jun found that his arm hurt badly.

Gary held up his gloves and pointed at Kim Do-joon.

"Sparring, in order to match the skills of the action, accumulate experience in actual combat, find your own shortcomings, and constantly improve yourself, this is the same as us as artists, it can't be perfect, everyone has more or less shortcomings, but you just need to face up to these shortcomings, work hard to improve, and in the end it is perfect! Dojun, use some force, and continue to practice! ”

After Gary finished speaking, the two of them began to practice again, and Kim Do-jun began to use the strength of his waist, abdomen and wrist to unload the power of the blow according to Gary's guidance, otherwise in less than 1 hour, Kim Do-joon's arm would be swollen.

A standard boxing ring, a 160-square-meter foam-floored venue, and only a handful of people are training.

Although the hardware conditions are not very good, the people who train here are all iron-clad, and almost everyone is sweating like rain, but fortunately, Kim Do-jun was exposed to this training when he was filming "Hot Blood High School", which provided him with useful experience.

Gary told him.

"Boxing is more about winning with wisdom, not fists, fists full of hatred can't defeat anyone at all, only full of love, can you play your strongest strength, from the boxing champion Ali to the current heavyweight boxing champion, no one hits the opponent with hatred! Because the opponents standing in a boxing ring deserve your respect, this is the battle between competitive sports! ”

When Gary first came into contact with boxing, he was not yet 20 years old, and at that time he practiced very monotonously, often alone in the corner silently swinging his fists, mechanical and single, and sometimes really envious of those who participated in actual combat.

Later, I learned that boxing is not as perfect as it looks, and boring training can make people crazy, not to mention the extreme challenge of the body.

Punching thousands of times a day, it's hitting sandbags and hitting the air, and people who can't stand loneliness can't bear it at all.

It can be seen that it is not easy for Gary to persist for 10 years.

It takes 2 or 3 years for a boxer to be trained, and everyone needs to go through this process, punching sandbags, opponents, and air.

Fast punching, heavy punching, and combination punching, although there is nothing special, if you practice hitting thousands of times a day, after 10 years, it is also a huge number.

Boxing seems to be a kind of venting, but in fact, it is a kind of forbearance.

Kim Do-joon followed Gary and learned in a good way, not noticing that someone in the audience had been watching them for a long time.

"Dojoon, take a break! I've got a drink in my bag, go get it! ”

Gary sat next to him, picked up the key from the ground and handed it to Kim Do-joon.

"Okay! I'll get it! ”

Kim Do-jun wiped his sweat with a towel, his body was completely soaked, it was all sweat, but he felt one word - cool!

It's been a long time since I've exercised at high intensity, even in the gym, I haven't exercised like this, and I feel like I've been soaked in water all over my body for a while, and it's wet.

β€œgary!”

Suddenly, someone called out to him, Gary turned his head to look, immediately stood up, ran to the middle-aged man's side, and bowed respectfully.

"Coach Zheng! Hello! Long time no see! ”

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, patted Gary's shoulder, and spoke.

"I'm training so hard, is it going to be a professional game? Why didn't you notify me, so I brought my family to cheer for you! ”

Although he was joking, Gary still didn't refute, just stood respectfully next to the middle-aged man and listened to his teachings.

In his eyes, Coach Zheng is a good mentor, when he was young, he taught himself boxing, and even now that he is an artist, he still finds time to come back and practice.

You must know that Coach Zheng is a professional boxer, he has been engaged in boxing before, and even after returning to South Korea from the United States, he has not given up his love for boxing.

So Gary happened to know Coach Zheng at that time, and has been serving as Coach Zheng's sparring partner, learning boxing seriously and systematically and standardly, and should be regarded as Gary's teacher.

"How can you participate in a professional competition, just bring your friends over to practice and relax!"

An embarrassed smile immediately appeared on Gary's face, how could he participate in professional competitions, even at the age of ten years younger, the Asian body limited his development in this area, and he could only regard it as a hobby, and he did not have the courage to give up his music career and pursue this sport.

"It's always a good thing to have a dream, okay, don't be verbose, wait for me, warm up, let's fight?" (To be continued......)
