Chapter 249: Bruce Lee

After the great success of Strongman Kidney Treasure in Japan, Downing planned to promote this miraculous drug to the world, and the first stop was naturally the hometown of his body and the most familiar place - the United States. However, the U.S. drug censorship system is much stricter than Japan's, and even if Downing is now a very prestigious businessman, he must personally go to Washington to submit drugs for approval.

It's a pity that the civil servants in the United States are not much better than the domestic ones, and the speed of procrastination makes Tang Ning have to be trapped in Washington, Tang Ning felt that he was depressed enough, but he suddenly found that his personal bodyguard Dashan Beida seemed to be more absent-minded than him, which made him feel very surprised, although this Dashan is not shrewd enough, but as a bodyguard, he is absolutely qualified, and he has never seen him like this, so Tang Ning couldn't help asking: "Dashan, what happened to you?" ”

Dashan Beida hesitated for a long time before saying, "Boss, I want to ask you for a day off the day after tomorrow, is it okay?" ”

This made Tang Ning wonder even more, Dashan Beida has been with him for so long, and he has never taken the initiative to ask for leave from himself, he has always forced him to take a holiday, but even so, his holidays are all practicing and fitness, it can be said that he is an out-and-out martial arts madman, such a person, what will happen if he asks for leave? Especially if this is not in Okinawa, even if something happens to his family, one day will definitely not be enough for him to rush back, so he continued to ask: "It's okay to ask for leave, don't say one day, three days is fine, but you have to tell me, what are you going to do the day after tomorrow?" ”

Oyama Beida replied with some embarrassment: "The day after tomorrow, there will be a martial arts competition at the University of Washington, and the participants are my old friend Masahiko Kimura, so I plan to go and observe it." ”

Saying this, Tang Ning immediately understood, and sure enough, the only thing that could attract a martial madman was martial arts. This Kimura Masahiko Downing still knows a little bit, this is the most famous judo master in Japan from 1940 to 1950. It once had a record of dominating the rivers and lakes for fifteen years without a defeat, and was praised by the circle as 'no Kimura before Kimura, no Kimura after Kimura,' and the comments in the market were 'Oniki Village' and 'The Strongest Martial Artist in History'. At the age of 16, Kimura achieved a 4th dan in judo, and at the age of 18, he became the youngest judo 5th dan in history, knocking out eight black belts at a time at the pulpit. According to the record. In his judo career, he has only lost four matches.

In 1940 (the 15th year of the Showa era), Japan celebrated the 2,600th anniversary of Emperor Jimmu's accession to the throne and held a trial of the Tenran Martial Arts. It is a martial arts competition that the emperor of Japan personally observed, including sumo, judo, archery and other events, because the emperor may not be available all the time, nor can he find time on a regular basis, so there is no fixed competition rule for this kind of competition, and it was held last time. It was in 1934 (Showa 9), and the last time it was 1939 (Showa 4), and the competition had no fixed time, and the emperor was in person, so winning this competition was a great honor from that point of view, and it was even hailed as the greatest honor in the Japanese martial arts world at that time.

Kimura Masahiko is famous for his "wrist clamping" stuntβ€”a joint technique that folds the opponent's arm backwards and dislocates itβ€”and has also been perfected at this time, whether it is a sleeping technique, a standing technique, or an intermittent technique, it is invincible. At that time, Masahiko Kimura, who was obsessed with research, was the first to develop the technique of using the opponent's gi uniform and ribbon to bind and suppress the wrist. Today, it has become an essential skill for judo competitions.

For this kind of competition, if Oyama Beida can't catch up with it far away in Japan. Once you catch up, how can you miss it, so Tang Ning said: "This kind of competition must not be missed, you can go to the mountain, stay for a few more days, and have a good fight with Master Kimura." Then, as if something had come to mind. Then he asked, "By the way, who is his opponent?" When did the United States produce judo masters? It's worth Kimura's fight against him. ”

Dashan Beida shook his head: "This opponent is not an American, but a Chinese Chinese, and he is still very young, his name is Bruce Lee." ”

As soon as you hear the name. Downing almost jumped up from his chair, Bruce Lee? How could it be Bruce Lee? No, no, let me do the math, Bruce Lee died in 1973, whether he was thirty-four or thirty-five years old when he died, then he should have been born around 1940, and now it is 1960, when he was about twenty years old, that's right, this time should be when he left Hong Kong to go to school in the United States, so it seems that he went to school at the University of Washington.

It was obvious that Oyama Beida had misunderstood the reason for Tangning's shock, and he thought that Tangning was surprised because Kimura Masahiko was fighting against a little-known Chinese, so he explained: "In fact, since the defeat of Japan, Master Kimura has not completely adjusted his mentality, and six years ago he was defeated in the wrestling ring by the despicable and shameless Lidaoshan, not only his reputation was damaged, but also his confidence was insufficient, until he defeated Elio of Brazilian Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, which can be regarded as having some confidence, However, these years have still been challenged here and there to recover the state.

And although this Bruce Lee is very young, just 20 years old, he is not simple. He was an apprentice of the Chinese Wing Chun master Ip Man, and had defeated Charlie, the champion of the previous three years, at St. Francis College in 1957. Owen, who won the intercollegiate Western boxing junior championship, is now a popular figure at the University of Washington, with many people learning Chinese martial arts, and his self-created inch boxing and hook leakage hands are very famous. ”

Tang Ning smiled bitterly in his heart, Bruce Lee, do I still need your introduction? He is a pioneer of world martial arts reform, martial arts fighter, martial arts philosopher, UFC pioneer, father of MMA, martial arts master, pioneer of kung fu films and founder of Jeet Kune Do, Chinese martial arts film actor, the first global promoter of Chinese kung fu, and the first Chinese actor in Hollywood. In 1999, Time magazine made a list of heroes and icons of the 20th century, and Bruce Lee was on the list along with the late British Princess Diana and US President John F. Kennedy. In 2000, the U.S. government announced the issuance of a set of stamps commemorating the 60th anniversary of Bruce Lee's birth. Monroe and the third artist after 007 to win this award, and the first Chinese. In 2003, Black Belt magazine released an album commemorating the 30th anniversary of Bruce Lee's death, "Bruce Lee's Lasting Influence on the American Martial Arts World".

Since it was Bruce Lee, Tang Ning said that he would not miss this game, so he stood up and said, "Dashan, I'll go with you this time!" (To be continued......)
