Seventy-two utilitarian martial arts
With the gradual stabilization of the stall's business, He Xiaojun lived a stable life during this period.
After the business rules of the stall were set, He Xiaojun immediately resumed his physical exercise.
The reason why he has to find time to exercise when he is already very busy every day and has only a few hours left to sleep is because He Xiaojun always believes that in this troubled world, he must always maintain the best physical fitness, so that he can cope with sudden changes at any time.
He Xiaojun's daily exercise time was chosen in the early morning after the end of the day.
After the business rules were settled, He Xiaojun's free time every day was only from 1 to 5 a.m. every day, and the spare time of the stall in the afternoon now depends on whether there is a bicycle and clock repair business that day.
In that era, even people who had leisure did not have the consciousness of exercising, so in order not to shock the world, and in order not to make people think that there was something wrong with their heads, He Xiaojun's exercise not only chose the quiet time in the dead of night after the stall was closed, but he also chose a remote place where no one walked and no one lived to exercise.
The place where He Xiaojun exercised was to cross the wharf and walk about two kilometers along the river to the south of the city. This section of the road is a wasteland.
Between the west and south of the county, there is a hill that separates the two places from the river. He Xiaojun's daily exercise is to first run through the wasteland, run straight to the foot of this small hill, and then practice martial arts and military skills here, and then run back to the stall.
He Xiaojun chose this place to exercise, in addition to the seclusion here, he also fell in love with the mountains and rivers here and the air is very good.
He Xiaojun knew that the place he chose was one of the eight scenic spots of Ningcheng after the liberation, and the name of the scenery was "Longtan Turning Rain".
Because when the Tongji River flowed from the west of the city to the south of the city, it was blocked by the mountains here, and had to turn a corner.
As soon as the turbulent water changes direction, it will inevitably form a whirlpool, so the place where the river bends has a large whirlpool that will not disperse for many years.
The section of water with vortex is, of course, the dangerous section. This whirlpool, which has endured for many years, has swallowed up many people and boats on the water over the years.
At that time, people were superstitious, so they said that the phenomenon of this big whirlpool eating people was that the dragon king was angry and called this big whirlpool Longtan.
When the turbulent river rushes into Longtan, there is a big banyan tree on the side of the mountain that passes by, and the big banyan tree stretches out from the side of the mountain to the direction of the water surface, and many branches and leaves actually grow in the water.
The branches and leaves of the banyan tree that grow under the water will of course be washed forward by the turbulent river, and the branches will rebound after being washed to the limit. The rebounding branches and leaves of the banyan tree raise the water on the river surface and fly around, making this area seem to be raining lightly at all times, so this scene is called "Longtan Rain".
Being able to exercise in a place with a beautiful scenery will have a different mood for those who exercise. When you are in a good mood, you can get twice the result with half the effort, which is one of the reasons why He Xiaojun chose to exercise here.
After closing the stall every day, He Xiaojun ran to the "Longtan Huayu" more than two kilometers in a variable speed run, and then practiced military skills there, then boxing, and finally practiced all the equipment he had learned, and then ran back to the stall with a variable speed run.
By the way, speaking of equipment, since he worked part-time as a bicycle repairer, He Xiaojun accidentally got a worthy instrument - an iron soft whip.
This iron soft whip is made from the chain of a bicycle.
After repairing a bicycle chain for a customer, He Xiaojun, who was touched by the characteristics of the chain that can be restored in all kinds of folds, found that the bicycle chain was the most suitable soft whip material, so he purchased the chain from every customer who came to repair the bicycle.
The effort paid off, and a week after sending out the acquisition information, a customer really brought a rusty old chain to He Xiaojun.
After He Xiaojun accepted the two-meter-long chain, he first soaked the chain with kerosene for one night, then carefully washed the rust on the chain, and then folded the chain in half and did it, so that the original two-meter-long chain became a double-stranded, one-meter-long soft whip.
The reason why He Xiaojun wants to combine the two chains into one is mainly because the single-strand chain is too thin.
Find a soft rubber bicycle handlebar, fix one end of the chain, and a soft iron whip is complete.
The soft whip made of bicycle chain has several advantages: First, it is easy to carry. The soft whip made of bicycle chain can be casually coiled into a small shape and placed in the pocket of the clothes, which is convenient for storage.
The second is its high rigidity, and the bicycle chain is made of high-quality steel after treatment, so He Xiaojun believes that the chain formed by two strands is not easy to split even with an axe.
The third is sharp, no matter which surface of the bicycle chain, is not smooth, so if it is whipped to the person's body, it will easily open the flesh.
He Xiaojun thought of these advantages before he moved the idea of using bicycle chains to make soft whips. In other words, he now has a sharp cold weapon, which has a little more protection for self-protection and self-defense.
After knowing that Zuixianglou's Wufang had practiced soft whips and flying knives for more than ten years, He Xiaojun also found a special time, shamelessly asked, and asked Wufang about these two skills.
Although most of the skills that I have no time to practice are in the nature of performance, after all, after practicing for so many years, I have a lot of skills and experiences, such as how to control the whip tip of a soft whip with skill, how to improve the accuracy of a flying knife, and so on.
He Xiaojun had a lot of scheming on the hidden weapon before, so the flying knife is easy to learn, but in terms of soft whips, he used to practice all with ropes, but now he has changed to a chain with a much higher rigidity, and there are many moves that are not suitable for use, so he has to practice again.
He Xiaojun, a person who came from the post-era, although he had not studied martial arts before, he knew from a lot of information that China's ancient martial arts had evolved into the post-era, which was already based on routine performances, and the effect of actual combat had greatly decreased.
Since He Xiaojun's purpose of learning martial arts is to defend himself, not to perform, of course he will not pay attention to those good-looking fancy styles, and only take some of the essence of the routine with obvious actual combat effects to practice.
For example, in the moves of the soft whip, there are routines such as hitting, flogging, binding, hooking, picking, sweeping, winding, hanging, etc., He Xiaojun didn't practice them all, but only picked a few routines such as sweeping, winding, and hitting and some practical tricks in other routines to practice.
At the same time, a person like He Xiaojun who came from the post-era, of course, will not dogmatically stick to the traditional moves, he will change these essence moves to be more suitable for himself according to some physical knowledge and his own action habits.
For example, the traditional "sweeping thousands of armies", He Xiaojun changed to waist strength and hip strength, changed the original move from the right to the left move that suited him, and used this move to all the weapons he learned.
The purpose of He Xiaojun's change of style is: short, fast, interceptive, and rushing.
Short is to shorten the distance of the move. In the routine, many moves are lengthened in order to add observability. In actual combat, short movements can increase speed, thereby increasing the effect of actual combat.
Shorter moves are one way to make moves faster, and another is to make the moves coherent and reasonable in the run, which can also shorten the time of attack. For example, the order of changing moves such as punch first and then palm, elbow and then fist can shorten the link of return and greatly improve the speed of actual combat.
Interception is volleying, this concept, from Bruce Lee's "Jeet Kune Do", in the insight of the opponent's first opportunity, to intercept the attack, in the process of interception, the implementation of counterattack.
Rushing is to move forward, reduce all unnecessary links, and make a move is a full blow, so as to overwhelm the enemy in momentum and strength, and achieve the effect of defeating the enemy with one move.
Hehe, martial arts is used to beat people, not to play performances, of course, it is necessary to give full play to its effect to achieve the purpose of beating people.
Perhaps, only He Xiaojun, who has experienced the post-society, can come up with the idea of being utilitarian in today's era, and change the martial arts he learned to "utilitarian" martial arts.
However, after practicing this utilitarian martial arts created by He Xiaojun for a period of time, he let the master who taught him martial arts lose inexplicably in several sparring exercises that he pulled.
Speaking of those few sparring sessions, Da Niu was depressed. He Xiaojun still practiced the moves he taught, but how could the same moves become sharp when they came to his hands? Especially in the first two times, he hasn't made a move yet, and He Xiaojun's moves have already beckoned to him.
Hehe, this is flexibility, and it is also the outstanding advantage of He Xiaojun over his contemporaries.
