"Bang ......"

In the corners of the training camp, the monotonous sound of kicks continued to echo.

Got the ticket to the finals of "Rookie King", Wang Jin didn't have any mood swings at all, and completed the 10-kilometer run, five sets of boxing push-ups, five sets of pull-ups, 1,000 meters of frog jumps, 200 forward kicks, 200 knee hits and other subjects in the morning.

Wang Jin usually only practices two leg methods, low and mid sweeps, over and over again.

A high number of mechanical repetitions can allow the body to form an effective memory, and over time, it will develop a conditioned reflex, so that the correct posture and force become an instinct.

"Three hundred and ninety-eight, three hundred and ninety-nine, four hundred ......"

Wang Jin stopped his movements and gasped, his body was already soaking wet.

The strength of his legs far exceeds that of his upper limbs, and has always been a must-have for all martial artists, but Wang Jin has been very hardworking, but since seeing kickboxing heavyweight champion Freitas "The Devil's Warrior" freitas' leg sweep, he has taken the initiative to increase his training volume again.

Generally speaking, the leg method can only be launched when the right time is found, but Freitas can jump out of the normal logic and directly use the leg method to tear the opponent's defense hard, and then kill with one hit! What a terrifying power this is, Wang knows where his gap is, so he is willing to work harder and sweat.

For the sports industry, talented people have more than leg hair, and if they are not diligent enough, they will soon be shot to death on the beach.

"Hey, boy, you missed the lesson yesterday, so now I'll make it up for you."

Mr. Banchai, the Thai coach, suddenly appeared beside him, and with a very happy mutter, the expressionless assistant translated his meaning in unison.

Ooh! How responsible this teacher's attitude is!

"Thank you, sir." Wang Jin hurriedly got up and greeted.

Banchai smiled mildly and said, "One thing I've noticed is that you have similar technical characteristics to most boxers who practice Chinese fighting, but you should be able to improve on the kicks. ”

Wang Jin said: "Please give me advice." ”

Banchai said: "What I'm going to tell you is the 'knee raise' in Muay Thai. ”

Wang Jin coughed: "What is a knee lift?" ”

Ban guessed: "That's it, you attack me with a leg sweep now, and I'll show you a demonstration......"

As he spoke, the class coach immediately made the most classic Muay Thai fight, with his left hand in front, his arms raised on both sides of his forehead, his upper body slightly rickety, his knees protruding forward, and his toes constantly pointing to the ground to do up and down movements, and his arms were also undulating. (As a joke, you can imagine the mantis boxing in the Xing Ye movie.) His posture is simply "picture-perfect", showing the otherworldly stability of the center of gravity, alive like a highly venomous cobra, full of danger!

Now Muay Thai has just been introduced into the country not long ago, many people have no doorway, practice in vain, and take the classic Thai "point to the ground" action as an example, the soles of the feet slap the ground, the content is completely wrong, and it is useless.

So, why do Muay Thai fighters keep "tapping the ground" with their front feet? Because it can help with power, kick in with heavy strikes, and make it easier to raise your knees to block incoming legs, it's probably one of the most iconic essences of Muay Thai technique.

"Okay!"

Wang Jin was happy to see the hunt, and he didn't talk nonsense, so he twisted his waist and swept a low when he went up.

Banchai's body remained "vertical", and his left leg was slightly raised—his leg was by no means vertical, with a certain angle of inclination, it should be thirty-five to forty-five degrees, accurately blocking Wang Jin's attack.

"Smack!"

"Huh?"

Wang Jinyi was strange, and quickly raised his leg and kicked a medium high kick!

"Whew!"

"Smack!"

This time, Banchai still didn't move, he tucked his waist and abdomen, his left leg raised higher, his hands firmly guarded his head, and the junction of knees and elbows was placed outside the knees, forming a perfect defensive line.

Here's the point: Wang Jin attacked first, Banchai defended later, and his tibia firmly resisted the front end of Wang Jin's calf, that is, the junction between the sole of his foot and his tibia, which made him feel a faint pain!

Wang has an intuition that if he keeps kicking and others keep blocking, his feet will be scrapped sooner or later, and the harder he goes, the sooner he will be scrapped!

Banchai returned to normalcy and explained: "The head, waist and thighs of the human body are the upper, middle and lower three lines that are easy to be attacked by leg sweeps. You can see that the 'knee raise block' technique I just demonstrated is the best way to resist all kinds of leg sweeps. The upper end of the tibia and the knee are extremely hard, and if we repeatedly use this move to defend, the opponent will suffer from redness and swelling of the leg and even a fracture in severe cases. ”

Wang Jin was overjoyed: "Hmm! ”

Ban Chai: "At present, Chinese fighting does not use much knee raises, and everyone likes to dodge, carry hard, or fall with their legs to deal with it...... Of course, I'm not saying that Chinese fighting is worse, after all, it's a different genre. ”

He paused and continued: "But have you ever thought that active takedowns have basically been banned by international rules, and many regular leg throws are not allowed to be used, so let me ask you, the leg takedowns you are familiar with and practiced hard have been completely abolished, what should you do to deal with kicks?" ”

Belch......

Wang Jin was speechless for a while, and his chest was very tight.

Yes, the current rules of fighting are particularly in line with international standards, and it is very likely that the leg connection law will be completely abolished in the future. Sanda has been abolished and the holding and wrestling is enough of a pit, and if you are no longer allowed to pick up your legs, then where is the way out for Chinese fighting? It's no wonder that a large number of athletes have started to focus on kickboxing and Muay Thai.

"Since kickboxing, the world's mainstream rules, have become unstoppable, and we must be forced to make changes, otherwise we will be eliminated by history," Banchai said. As I said earlier, it is forbidden to deal with kicks and leg throws, and there are two other methods you can use. The first kind of hard carrying, this doesn't need to say anything, you can carry it hard with your thighs a few times, but if it continues, I'm afraid you won't even be able to walk again; The second dodge, dodge is easy to delay the fighter, and by the time you dodge and rebuild the offensive, it's too late......"

He accentuated his tone and looked directly at Wang Jindao: "So, you need to learn to learn the knee lift technique!" ”

There was a rare look of respect on Mr. Wang's face, and he said gratefully, "Thank you, teacher, thank you!" ”

Then, Coach Banchai spent an afternoon opening a small stove for Wang Jin, explaining the tips of various low, medium and high knee lifting defenses extremely thoroughly, and repeated offensive and defensive drills, reflecting the good quality and generous character of an excellent coach.

Wang Jin never imagined that the Muay Thai skills that he didn't seem to pay much attention to before would be so profound - take the Thai-style "point to the ground" as an example, after people raise their knees to resist your kicks, they can easily start a counterattack, almost doing defense and counterattack together, it is simply impossible to prevent, fast and vicious......

At dusk, Wang Jin suddenly asked, "Coach, Sanda is restricted, what about your Muay Thai?" ”

Banchai said: "You should know, the essence of Muay Thai is in the inner circumference, in the knee and elbow, and the clasping, elbow, wrestling, etc., which is cut off, is not unfair, since the aesthetics of fans all over the world are changing, then we must be forced to make changes, and if we don't change, there is only a dead end!" So, many of us Muay Thai fighters have no choice but to practice their boxing skills to fend off kickboxers' attacks. ”

Again, kickboxing and kick combinations are smoother and more ornamental, and this trend has taken the world by storm.

In the sunset, Banchai sighed deeply and muttered, "Hey, it's better to play MMA, there are no restrictions, it's more in line with the true meaning of martial arts." ”

"MMA?"

Wang Jin repeated, his eyes thoughtful.
