Ninety kilometres north of Chiang Mai's Old Town, there is a small village called Miao, which is famous for its handmade wood carvings and silverware, and attracts a large number of tourists all year round.

At the foot of the green hills at the eastern head of the village, there are two rows of Thai-style wooden houses and straw huts, and 17 or 8 fighters are braving the heat to train hard. These people are all kinds of people, men and women, and although they are of great different nationalities and ages, the positive and courageous spirit seems to have poured out of a mold.

Banchai patrolled his students back and forth, his expression gentle and calm.

Contrary to the vast majority of his peers, he chose to open the gym in his hometown, one does not accept tourists, the other does not accept amateur fighters, and professional athletes must pass the test before they can stay and learn, which is really capricious.

With more than 300 fights in his career and a Lumpinee middleweight champion belt, Banchai has his own pride and persistence, and he is by no means financially active.

"Savadi!" (Savadika is for women only)

A sonorous man's voice suddenly sounded behind him, young, joyful, full of vigor and strength.

Hearing this, Banchai turned around and saw a young classmate who had not been seen for a long time.

Wang Jin put his palms together to his forehead and bowed deeply - he has always been polite and respectful to boxing seniors such as his master, not only out of politeness, but also because of the touching past engraved on them.

Banchai said happily, "I knew you would come one day, so I left a note." ”

Wang Jin smiled and said, "The teacher guessed correctly, of course I want to come!" ”

Please note: Banchai speaks Chinese, while Wang Jin speaks English. Time flies, and with the passage of time, the "master and apprentice" have made significant progress in language, and they can finally "speak" together.

The weather is quite hot, Wang is wearing a two-tendon vest today, majestic and burly, and his physique is strong at a glance!

Banchai carefully looked at his neck and arms, "Well, I'm learning English pretty well, I wonder if the technology has improved?" ”

Wang Jin put down his backpack and said confidently: "You can give it a try!" ”

Ben guessed, "Remember what I said when we were apart in the past? ”

Wang Jin said: "Practice your kicks!" ”

Ban guessed: "That's right, you can show me the kick-in technique." ”

Wang Jin grinned: "Hmm! ”

Although the boxing ring made of grass and trees is extremely simple, the training equipment is quite complete, and as for those large and small sandbags, the specifications are even more varied, ranging from tens of kilograms to 150 kilograms.

Wang Jin simply warmed up, and just found a medium-sized sandbag and attacked!

The soles of the feet touch the ground, the knees are raised, the straddles are sent, the legs are extended, and the light ejection is light!

"Bang!"

Wang's movements were as accurate as textbooks, and the sandbag that was hit only trembled, and did not produce the phenomenon of swaying back and forth. This shows that he has a deep understanding of the principle of force, and it is obvious that he has reached an extremely high level.

On a whim, Wang played two strings of combination punches and a variety of different leg techniques, beating the sandbag one after another. Maybe the guy's moves are different, but the speed and strength are unquestionable.

Witnessing such a concise and fierce performance, Teacher Banchai looked strange.

"Your growth has been amazing, but there's one thing I don't quite understand yet. Technique isn't that important in terms of getting it right, you're in control of your body, you just need to keep training motivated, and I can't think of anything else that can be taught to you. ”

Wang Jin said: "Ahem, how can you not have it?" For example...... Elbow method! ”

Banchai was surprised: "Elbow method? Sanda, kickboxing, almost all striking fights are currently forbidden elbow, and you're not a professional Muay Thai fighter, what do you learn it for? ”

Wang Jin finally said the truth that he can't tell anyone at this stage: "I want to enter the MMA unlimited stage and pursue more glory!" ”

Wang's desire to cross the border to play MMA was deliberate, not impulsive.

First of all, the sport of unrestricted combat is growing rapidly, and its influence is far greater than that of free combat.

secondly, unlimited fighting wears finger gloves, which is easy to grasp and grapple, which is in line with his wrestling foundation and is more conducive to playing to his strengths;

The third point is that MMA has a higher prize than martial arts, and the benefits are more lucrative. It's also sweating, why don't you choose to practice quickly with money?!

Of course, Wang Jin knew that it was impossible for the current high-level leaders to let themselves cross the border, and he was just taking the time to prepare for the future. Regardless of it, learn it first, and then talk about it, and when the time comes, we can use it if we want to...... As for why you choose to learn elbow first, it's too simple, MMA melee elbow is the strongest killer feature, and the Thai have an unquestionable say in this regard.

Banchai wondered, "Wouldn't it be too risky to enter an unfamiliar realm immediately?" As far as I know, you're doing very well, huh? ”

Wang Jin said: "You're right, it's definitely not realistic at the moment, I'm planning for the future in advance...... I happened to be in Thailand recently, and I happened to have some free time. ”

Banchai nodded, "Okay then, as you wish." A bright student like you, of course I won't let it go. ”

Wang Jin laughed and said, "A great teacher like you, I don't want to miss ......"

……

One insisted on learning, the other was willing to teach, and the master and apprentice quickly reached a consensus and hit it off.

Learning is a long-term thing, and before settling down, Wang Jin must solve the problem of food and shelter first. After a few simple words of communication with the teacher of the class, he quickly figured out the problem he was urgently concerned about: the gym provided three meals a day, and his residence was in the small cabin behind him, and he only needed to pay RMB 280 a day for food and accommodation.

- Compared to some famous kickboxing clubs in foreign countries, this should be the price of cabbage. Of course, the general price in Thailand is between 100 and 300 yuan, and the economic level determines the level of consumption.

Wang Jin also went around the cabin for a while.

In the small villages of Thailand, wooden houses are basically ordinary buildings. This thing is very high above the ground, and there are many wooden stakes at the bottom, which can effectively waterproof and avoid the harassment of some small animals; The whole house is made of wood and bamboo, with a square spire, and the internal space is acceptable, without any feeling of crampedness.

In addition, Wang Jin was also pleased to find that the bed was very large, enough for a man like him to sleep, and the room could shower, and it was actually equipped with a flush toilet! According to Mr. Banchai, the location of the gym belongs to the foot of the mountain, and the temperature difference between day and night is particularly obvious, and it will be very cool at night, and there is no need for air conditioning at all.

Wang Jin was extremely satisfied, and hurriedly called Hou Chao, who left the "supervisor", to report. Brother Monkey may be massage, the phone crackled, and people hurriedly said: You kid stay first, buddy will go over tomorrow morning, and you will be busy bye-bye......

Belch! This person is not interesting enough, why don't you bring a brother for the massage?

In view of the fact that Wang Jin just came today, Teacher Banchai was not in a hurry to arrange a course for him, so he asked the guy to familiarize himself with the environment casually. Wang was happy and relaxed, pulling flip-flops and wandering around.

At around 4 p.m., Banchai's wife pulled a few pots of chilled watermelon to the gym and beckoned everyone to enjoy them.

"Click!" "Click!"

Wang bit happily, and his heart was full of joy.

Tsk, it's so sweet, so refreshing, so enjoyable! The coolness is refreshing, and the feeling of summer heat suddenly dissipates.

Taking this opportunity, Banchai officially introduced Xiao Wang to the students, and the partners also introduced themselves with a smile, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Wang Jin clearly felt that they were very modest, low-key, and gentle, and they couldn't have been more than the fierce competition at Endeavour...... Different teachers, different apprentices.

After eating the watermelon, Wang Jin heard his training plan.

Well, the content is basically similar to the Thai "pop style", with heavy targeting, wrestling, actual combat, and very little equipment training. Wang Jin came to the inner perimeter for close combat, and Teacher Banchai specially added two private lessons a day, specializing in elbow and elbow and knee combination attack.

There is no doubt that Wang Jin's boxing, legs, and knees have been good, and if he learns elbow again this time, then he will make up for the last shortcoming in standing fighting and become a proper all-round fighter......
