Chapter 472: The Battle Begins

The host gathered the two parties together, and with the help of the interpreter, reiterated the rules of the game, and after confirming that everyone was okay, he led them to the life and death certificate that had been prepared next to them to sign.

The moderator then asked the two teams to sit on two sides, with five cushions on each side and a sign in front of them, marking the order of the strikers and strikers.

After they were all seated, the host read out the rules of the five-on-five team battle to the court, and then announced the start of the competition, the first pioneer match, with Chinese Qiu Hongyi versus Japanese Oshima winning and drawing.

Seeing the two warriors coming to the field, the hall suddenly fell silent, and watched the competition with bated breath.

When Qiu Hongyi saw the posture of his opponent, he judged that the opponent was practicing judo, and he was not polite to others, he shot first, stepped forward with his feet, and smashed straight through.

The opponent is shorter than him, Qiu Hongyi is condescending, usually this move is mostly aimed at the chest, but now it can only hit the chin.

But this height gap is not to take advantage, Oshima Katsuhei is short to avoid the fist, grab his arm, and hook his feet.

Qiu Hongyi has basically figured out these routines in his recent practice, and he has been on guard against this, and he has stabilized his lower plate, his fists are not scattered, and he is blasted away with a one-handed sunrise palm.

Katsuhei Oshima dodged in time and didn't really get hit, he began to wander around Qiu Hongyi to look for opportunities, his eyes were sharp, and his eyes were staring at his every move.

Katsuhei Oshima, the same year as Rina Ishihara, won the Japanese national judo championship in high school, and his actual combat ability is very strong and very tenacious.

At the same time, he was also a classmate of Rina Ishihara when he was studying judo, so he was the first to allow her to come to China to compete with martial arts masters.

Bajiquan's style of play pays attention to close-quarters short fights, but dealing with judo is to prevent the opponent from getting close, to be honest, it is a bit contradictory, but Qiu Hongyi has his own methods.

Judo wrestling, except for hooking feet. Holding the opponent's hand is the key, Qiu Hongyi avoided this, used the elbow of the gun to deal with him, and after a small jump, the iron arm was thrown horizontally.

Seeing that he was coming fiercely, Oshima Katsuhei didn't dare to take it hard, and tried to give way with a quick move, but after Qiu Hongyi landed, he followed up with a kick, and Oshima Katsuhei fell to the ground in a stroke, and quickly rolled up.

Qiu Hongyi didn't give him a chance to stand firm. Launched a fast attack, stepped forward and struck another thump, this time hit, hitting him on the left shoulder.

Oshima Katsuhei snorted in pain and twisted his shoulders back, held it up, hooked his forearm with one hand, turned around and exerted his back, and was stunned to slam Qiu Hongyi.

According to the rules of judo, he got a copy of it. But that's not the case here. Qiu Hongyi was thrown and nothing happened, but Oshima Katsuhei was hit in the shoulder and almost lost an arm.

No need to fight anymore, the winner is decided.

The moderator asked both sides for their opinions. If the Chinese side is decided, it can choose to continue to challenge the Japanese side or make a truce.

The Chinese side won the game, which made a large number of guests in the venue applaud. However, the people at the table where the members of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce gathered couldn't help but sigh, feeling that they had suffered a loss in the rules, and this should be regarded as a draw.

For the defeat of the same seniors. Rina Ishihara was a little surprised, in her impression, this Oshima senior was very strong, and she was defeated without causing any substantial damage to the other party, which made her a little difficult to accept.

Qiu Hongyi was not injured, so he naturally wanted to fight again to probe the details of the other party.

So in the second game, it was the Chinese Qiu Hongyi against the Japanese Kobayashi Takuya.

The opponent's starting hand was facing him in a sideways standing position, which made Qiu Hongyi feel unfamiliar, and guessed that he was the more mysterious Aikido player in the Japanese team.

As he thought, Taku Kobayashi is also a disciple of the Kobayashi Dojo of the Japanese Aikikai Association, and is the fourth-generation disciple of the founder of Aikido, Ueshiba Morihei, and has won the essence of this way.

Aikido is a kung fu that originated from Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, and has similarities with Chinese Tai Chi and grappling.

Although he had never directly fought with someone who had practiced this kung fu, Qiu Hongyi secretly thought that he would be cautious and always be able to touch his bottom more.

After making this decision, he did not rush hard like he had just now, but instead adopted the wandering stance that is commonly used in fighting. No matter how Qiu Hongyi went around, Kobayashi Tuo always kept facing him from the side.

Seeing this, Qiu Hongyi stepped forward and made a tentative punch, who knew that Takuya Kobayashi moved quickly sideways, reached out and quickly grabbed Qiu Hongyi's wrist, and dragged his center of gravity along his fist to knock him to the ground!

Kobayashi's moves were casual and beautiful, attracting loud applause from the guests from the Japanese Chamber of Commerce on the sidelines.

Qiu Hongyi rolled up and got up, and he fell twice today, which really made him feel a little embarrassed, but the Japanese wrestling method is indeed a bit of a doorway, and if you haven't specially trained to deal with it, you will be hit if you are not careful.

And Takuya Kobayashi also gave him the feeling that he was stronger than Katsuhei Oshima just now, because he was faster and good at using joint skills. If the lineup on the Japanese side is stronger than the other, it will be a bit of a problem.

Qiu Hongyi fought again, this time he rushed straight to the front, grabbed the middle line, and the opponent faced his strong attack, without panicking at all, using the circular body to avoid his attack, and then grabbed his side, and used the wrestling method behind him.

This time, Qiu Hongyi was thrown even worse, and he turned over directly in the air, and his back hit the ground heavily!

However, after two consecutive moves, Wang Bai, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, had already seen the key point of Aikido's technique, which was to meet the enemy sideways, so that when the opponent was approaching, he could see the opportunity to grab the opponent's sideways at any time and perform joint skills.

The trick is a quick word, which is a kind of martial art that can only exert its power after mastering the footwork and body technique and then fusing it.

To fight with such an opponent, you can only be faster than him, otherwise you will be passive.

After Qiu Hongyi fell twice in a row, he felt very faceless, but he also had to obey this person's doorway, and secretly wanted to mess around, but he fell down, so he happily admitted defeat.

The host announced that the Japanese side had won, and the Japanese Chamber of Commerce table immediately shouted and celebrated, seemingly happier than he had won the game.

After Takushi Kobayashi was also questioned, he nodded and said that he wanted to continue the challenge, and he came to China to learn from martial arts masters, in order to further enhance his experience and strength.

The second man on the Chinese side was Zhang Hao, who took a deep breath after coming on the court, and then put on a stance that is commonly used in fighting. Compete with your opponents.

Zhang Hao's strength is not as good as Qiu Hongyi, so the result can be imagined, after trying to attack the opponent but being counterthrown twice, Zhang Hao also decisively admitted defeat.

Xiao Lin won two games in a row and automatically withdrew, he didn't show anything on his face, but he had some small regrets in his heart, feeling that the Chinese side was ranking the weak in front, so that he lost the opportunity to fight with the master.

Takuya Kobayashi's victory was a relief to Rina Ishihara, who felt that the match was finally on the right track. As she expected, these Chinese martial arts masters had no name for themselves and had little strength at all.

The pioneer who made his first appearance was probably the strongest of them, and the rest of the game was definitely overwhelming.

In fact, for the Chinese players participating in the competition, especially for Qiu Hongyi, who admits defeat, people like Takuya Kobayashi can take advantage of the competition, but if they really fight for their lives, it will not be like that.

Qiu Hongyi can feel it. This Japanese really came to learn from each other, not to play with his life, so he endured it and didn't kill him. But if you don't play with your life, you can't play him, so you can only admit defeat helplessly.

The next one is the backbone battle. Yu Dabao of the Chinese side played against Kogo Arakawa of the Japanese side.

Kogo Arakawa is a descendant of Japanese Wado-ryu karate, which is actually the same as the largest karate school in the world, Shotokan-ryu, and its routines are influenced by Shotokan-ryu, but because of the fusion of jiu-jitsu movements. It focuses on fighting skills, so it also has its own characteristics.

The status of Wado-ryu in the traditional martial arts world is not as high as that of Sottokan-ryu, but it has a great influence in Japanese universities. Karate schools, including the University of Tokyo and Meiji University, are mainly based on learning and Taoism, and there are many disciples.

Kogo Arakawa is now a fourth-degree black belt, and although he has not participated in public competitions, he is a recognized practical master in the gym, even if he is a famous figure in the university arena, and he is not his opponent in the gym.

Yu Dabao is a celebrity in the Haidong black boxing world, and he is very recognizable like an iron tower, and some of the spectators who have watched his fight have already recognized him and whispered to the people around him.

Recently, although Yu Dabao has not had a record in competition, his strength has been rapidly improved. After swearing to Tao Tianyou, under the teaching of this true disciple of Xingyi Boxing, Yu Dabao understood a lot of things that he didn't understand before, including the mantras he memorized when he was a child, what they contained, and someone finally had someone to answer.

Tao Tianyou is also a teacher and friend with him, and he has no selfishness in practicing martial arts, and he teaches each other, plus Yu Dabao was originally a martial arts wizard, so his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, not only has a deeper understanding of Xingyi boxing moves, but also has a further improvement in his mastery of qi.

With this relationship, Yu Dabao's respect for Tao Tianyou comes from the bottom of his heart, and he almost regards him as his second master.

Tao Tianyou also made corrections to Yu Dabao's practice of practicing boxing when he had nothing to do in his spare time, and practicing for several hours at a time, hard practice can indeed keep his martial arts growing strongly, but if Yu Dabao practices vigorously and vigorously like this, his spirit will flow like water, and his body will collapse over time, and he will even have a short life.

This is the truth of prosperity and decline, Yu Dabao did not have the master's long-term guidance after learning boxing, but he practiced hard by himself, if it were not for his physical fitness was really extraordinary, after ten years of practice, his body would have been unable to bear and collapse.

Xingyi boxing is the inner boxing method, a very important part is the practice of qi and pranayama, this is not just by practicing hard every day boxing can be improved, the practice of the shape of the intention is not up to speed, to have perseverance and perseverance, as a lifetime of self-cultivation, so that kung fu is natural, which is more in line with the rules of Xingyi.

In order to hone Yu Dabao's patience, Tao Tianyou even asked his fiancée Cheng Ying to teach Baguazhang to Dabao, so that when he was idle, he would not play Xingyi Quan all day long, but could study Baguazhang. Under the careful teaching of the two true disciples, Dabao's perception of boxing has entered a new level.

It was this opportunity that became a turning point in Yu Dabao's life, and it also made the future Baihemen, in addition to the Baihe River where the sect practiced serial hands and other hundred schools of boxing, have an additional special branch of the Xingyi Bagua Flow. (To be continued......)
