Guoshu is martial arts, which is the name of martial arts during the Republic of China, and now it also refers to traditional martial arts. The founder of the Guoshu Society of Tunghai University was Su Ke, and the scale of the Guoshu Society also reached its peak during Su Ke's schooling. But to be honest, 60% of the boys who joined the Guoshu Club went for the personal charm of Su Ke, the president, and the remaining 40% of the boys and individual girls heard that the Guoshu Club was very strong, and they joined the Guoshu Club purely to find a backer, so as not to be bullied in school. It can be said that there are very few students who really love national arts.

With Su Ke graduating and becoming a coach, the Guoshu Club also declined rapidly, and now it has changed from a first-class strong club in the school to a second-rate club. If it weren't for Su Ke still in the town of the Guoshu Society, I'm afraid the Guoshu Society would be disbanded.

Of course, Su Ke was in a hurry in this situation, but there was no good way to turn the situation around. Because the decline of the Guoshu Society of Tunghai University is only a microcosm of the decline of Guoshu. As the saying goes, a big river has water, a small river is full, a big river has no water, and a small river is dry. The enthusiasm of Chinese people to learn national art is generally not high, which is not a problem that Su Ke can solve alone.

Su Ke often wonders why Guoshu and many national quintessences have declined one after another, but some foreign fighting skills are more sought after. If you want to say that the national art is not strong, it is definitely not right, Su Ke himself is the best example. A better example is Bruce Lee, thanks to the efforts of Bruce Lee and his brother Wong Chun Leung to make foreigners accept Wing Chun, there are more than 5,000 Wing Chun gyms in Europe and the United States, and special forces in many countries are learning Wing Chun. Not only Wing Chun, but also people around the world who practice Tai Chi, with an estimated total of more than 100 million people.

Foreigners pursue national arts, but Chinese people instead pursue taekwondo and karate, which is really a strange thing. After some thought, Su Ke also summed up some reasons for the decline of national arts.

First of all, Guoshu attaches importance to the basics, it is difficult to achieve it quickly, and if you practice Guoshu for a year, you may not be able to practice boxing and taekwondo for a month, which gives people the impression that Guoshu is not strong.

Secondly, the national art is heavy on the background, and it is difficult to learn the national art well if you can't understand the traditional culture well. Nowadays, some people learn kung fu just to win in battle, but they don't understand the truth of stopping fighting for martial arts, let alone martial arts. Taking Tai Chi as an example, it is difficult to understand the combination of rigidity and softness in Tai Chi without understanding the changes of yin and yang in classical philosophy. Nowadays, most people practice Tai Chi as fitness gymnastics, because they only see the softness in Tai Chi, but they do not experience the rigidity in it.

The third is that there are many schools of national arts, and it is not easy to form a unified standard, and the sports and systematization are relatively late, which is not conducive to publicity and promotion. This is not counting the fact that some martial artists cherish themselves, holding the outdated idea of teaching apprentices to starve their masters, and are unwilling to communicate and promote.

Su Ke's martial arts practice is a family history, but it is not from his father's lineage, but from his mother and grandfather since childhood. At first, her mother taught her to practice boxing just to strengthen her body, but she didn't expect Su Ke to be very talented and like to practice boxing. Su Ke's grandfather is also an enlightened person, and when he saw that his granddaughter was a martial arts material, he taught him everything, and he didn't hide his secrets, and gave Su Ke all the ancestral boxing scores, anyway, only Su Ke practiced boxing alone among his grandchildren in the family.

Influenced by his grandfather and mother, Su Ke is not a self-cherishing person. Her greatest wish is to carry forward the national arts. Only then did he establish the Guoshu Society at the school. Seeing that there was no successor to the club she founded, she was of course anxious. Today, she is at the freshman registration office, just to help the Guoshu Society recruit people. Now seeing Zhong Huan such a good seedling, Su Ke naturally can't let it go easily.

Zhong Huan, the four of them behaved differently after being recruited by Su Ke. Zhong Huan naturally looked excited, and Zhou Xin was not interested, knowing that he was not the material. Peng Lei and Chu Xiaoxue looked at Zhong Huan in unison, because they both knew Zhong Huan's hobbies well and wanted to see how Zhong Huan decided to make plans again.

"Teacher Su, what do you think is the highest level of so-called kung fu?"

Zhong Huan didn't say that he was interested in learning kung fu, nor did he say that he was not interested, but asked Su Ke a question. As the saying goes, the master leads the door, and the cultivation is in the individual. Most people may think that this sentence is emphasizing the importance of personal effort. In fact, this sentence also emphasizes the importance of Master. A good master can lead his apprentice to the path of light, and a bad master can lead his apprentice into the abyss. Zhong Huan wants to learn kung fu, but he can't just find someone to learn blindly, in case he is taken to the ditch, he will be in trouble, how can this master have some real skills. So Zhong Huan had to pan the road first.

"I would say that kung fu can be practiced to the point where the body is as light as a swallow and invulnerable, it must be an exaggeration. But if you practice to the extreme, it is definitely no problem to fly the eaves and walk on the wall. I don't dare to say how deep the kung fu is now, but I can deal with three or five people. ”

Su Ke followed his grandfather to practice boxing, and naturally heard a lot of martial arts secrets, and it is said that it is not a problem for those who have practiced kung fu to deal with a few gun-wielding gangsters. It's not that the kung fu is good enough to dodge bullets, but that you can get close to subdue the gangsters before the opponent shoots.

"Then does Mr. Su think that people can practice internal strength?" Zhong Huan threw out another question.

"Hehe~ The statements of internal strength and internal force are all made up in martial arts novels, but there is indeed a saying of practicing qi in internal boxing. Qigong is often said to be miraculous, but the actual effect is not so exaggerated. After practicing qigong, some people find that it does not match the legend, so they believe that qigong is fake, which causes people to disbelieve in qigong even more, and some people confuse qigong with the internal force in the novel, which is really ridiculous. ”

Su Ke teaches Chinese art in the club, and it is this kind of question that he encounters the most, and it is very easy to answer.

"It's really qigong! Teacher Su, what exactly is qigong? Do you know how to practice? Zhou Xin was not interested in national arts, but when he heard the word qigong, he also became energetic.

"Qigong originated from the Taoist doctrine of health preservation. So if you want to know what qigong is, you must first understand that qigong is not equal to martial arts. If you only practice qigong, you may be able to strengthen your body and prolong your life, but it definitely does not mean that you are good at fighting. Those so-called qigong masters overturn a row of people as soon as they are lucky, and they are 100% performers. On the contrary, there are some reclusive veterans who have never blushed with people in their lives, but they are old and old, but they are not dazzled, deaf, and childish, and they may be qigong masters. What I understand as qigong is the use of breathing to exercise the internal organs. The most intuitive effect that can be achieved is that you hold your breath longer when swimming than others, have better endurance when climbing and running, and have a slower heart rate than others, and that's it. ”

Su Ke has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has been practicing for 20 years. She has her own understanding of qigong. The so-called qigong is definitely not a magic technique, but just a method of exercising the lungs and strengthening the heart and lungs with breath.

"That's all there is to it? Doesn't sound like it has anything to do with kung fu! Zhou Xin was a little disappointed after listening to Su Ke's explanation.

"It can't be said that it doesn't have anything to do with it. The Xingyi boxing I practice is also called Xinyi ** boxing. That is, the heart and the mind are together, the mind and the qi are together, the qi is in harmony with the force, the shoulders and the hips are together, the elbows are in harmony with the knees, and the hands and feet are together. What is Qi and Force? It's about breathing and movement. The simplest example is to breathe in the water while swimming, and those who can breathe can swim as far as they want, and if they can't breathe, just wait to drink water. Practicing martial arts is also a truth, people who can use breathing to match the movements can reduce physical exertion and get twice the result with half the effort. Zhao Yunneng can hold Adou to kill seven in and seven out in Changban Slope, which means that he is a qigong master, on the other hand, Cheng bites the golden three-plate axe and stops cooking, which shows that he does not know qigong. ”

Although the deeds of these two ancients listed by Su Ke are all fictions, it is enough to show that qigong plays a large role in actual combat.

"What are the requirements for joining the Guoshu Society? What will happen after joining? ”

Zhong Huan had already been moved by Su Ke's words at this time. He has always wanted to learn kung fu and do chivalry, but he has no chance. Some of the martial arts theories that Su Ke just talked about are simple to understand, and Zhong Huan can not only understand them, but also feel that they are very reasonable. Combined with Su Ke's punch to Zhu Yiqun just now, Zhong Huan can determine that she has some real materials, at least much better than herself.

"You don't need any special requirements to join the club, as long as you are a student of our school. Generally, there is a club activity once a week, and I am responsible for explaining the knowledge of national arts and teaching some basic movements. Every day after school is the practice time, and members can go to the Guoshu Club to practice freely, which is not mandatory. Other activities are competitions and competitions with other clubs, which will be held from time to time. Have you decided to join? Su Ke couldn't help but be a little excited when he saw that Zhong Huan was moved, and his face, which had been cold, also smiled.

"I'll think about it again, can I reply to you when I submit it for inspection?"

Zhong Huan likes martial arts, but he doesn't know much about university life, so he wants to have a comprehensive understanding of the school's curriculum, schedule, and other clubs before making a decision.

"As long as you agree to join the club now, you can stop writing the inspection!" Su Ke said suddenly.

"Deal!" Zhong Huan immediately decided, with such an enlightened senior teacher as a club coach, presumably this club life must be very interesting.

"Alas~ Wait, if we want to join the company, can we not write the check?" Zhou Xin called out from the side.

"Yes!"

What is the use of Su Ke to check? It's better to pull a few people into your own community.

"Then I'm going to join the club too! Brother Lei, what about you? ”

Zhou Xin has already decided to follow Zhong Huan, and he doesn't have any special clubs he wants to join, so naturally he will join whatever club Zhong Huan joins. What's more, there are benefits to joining now, and you can be exempted from an inspection.

"I'm joining too!" Peng Lei followed in Zhong Huan's footsteps, even if he was not interested in fighting.

"Can I participate?"

Chu Xiaoxue asked weakly on the side. She also wants to be in the same club as Zhong Huan, even if it is a bit strange for a girl to join the Guoshu Club of the martial arts category.

"Of course! The discount for beautiful girls to join the club is even greater! They are exempt from inspection, and you are exempt from punishment. ”

Su Ke was already laughing in his heart. If Zhong Huan can be cultivated to become the main force of the Guoshu Society, then Chu Xiaoxue can definitely cultivate the signature of the Guoshu Society to attract newcomers, and the cooperation between the two should be no worse than when he was back then.
