Chapter 6 Fundamentals of Boxing
Turning around and taking out a bottle of water from the side, unscrewing it and taking a sip, Lu Biao continued: "The ultimate goal of boxing is to grasp the timing of punching, and when there is no opportunity, you must create a favorable opportunity to punch, so that your fist power can be used on the opponent as much as possible, forming a fatal punch with huge lethality, one punch can end the fight and knock out the opponent, otherwise, even if you can hit two tons of punch power on the boxing target, it is just a number, and it is useless." ”
Reasonable!
In Tai Chi martial arts, there is a very useful skill called four or two thousand catties, which is actually the result of unloading.
It sounds very mysterious, but in fact, the reason is very simple, the most common thing in the ring is to be knocked out by a heavy punch, and the boxer who is hit is generally down to the ground, and it is rare to see him directly killed, and the situation of being blown out in the head has never happened.
Of course, if the opponent continues to slam his head with heavy punches after falling unconscious, it is believed that the skull will be torn, but there are referees in the ring, and this will not be allowed to happen.
At this moment, Wang Ben finally understood that he often saw some comments in his previous life, saying that Tyson, the boxing champion at his peak, could punch out nearly a ton of power, and even kill a cow with one punch, and many people scoffed.
Just kidding, Tyson has such a heavy fist, why didn't he see anyone killed by him in the ring?
Herein lies the problem, the punch force here refers to the force hit on the target, not the effective force that effectively acts on the opponent.
"Unloading force" and "effective force", to be honest, have been introduced in some books on boxing, and Wang Ben has also been exposed to some before.
The theories of overcoming rigidity with softness and unloading force are among the boxing techniques that Wang Ben practiced before, and the old man also specially introduced the 'unloading force'.
Chinese martial arts, broad and profound, although the actual combat power in the world arena has not made much achievements, but the theoretical knowledge is extremely rich, in terms of 'unloading', Xingyi boxing refers to the movement of the body and muscle expansion, the power of the blow on the body is eliminated and dissolved, commonly known as 'chemical strength'.
If you cultivate to the realm of 'Transforming Strength', you can easily eliminate and defuse the opponent's attack, and your strength is very terrifying. However, theory is theory, and it is not easy to really cultivate that level.
The 'unloading' in boxing is similar to the 'turning strength' and 'overcoming rigidity with softness' in Chinese martial arts, and the principle is similar.
It seems that many of the techniques I have practiced in the past can be used in boxing, and perhaps, if some of the essence of Chinese martial arts is integrated into boxing, the lethality will become even greater.
For example, the inch strength in Xingyi boxing, drill boxing, collapse boxing, cannon boxing, split boxing, Tai Chi boxing, the technique of spitting, static braking, etc., if these are applied to boxing......
Thinking of this, Wang Ben's heart became excited.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Chinese martial arts are fancy and perform kung fu, but Wang Ben has practiced for thirteen years and understands the fundamentals of martial arts very well.
That's right, in the World Competitive Fighting Championship, martial arts have almost no records, the only thing that can have a little bit of prestige is 'Sanda', which is called "Chinese Free Kick Fighting Technique" abroad, but Sanda is not a pure Chinese martial arts, it was established in the 70s, integrating Muay Thai, karate, martial arts and other techniques.
I remember reading in a report, in the early eighties, the official set down the ring to fight the folk martial arts masters, at that time many traditional martial arts schools disdained sanda, saying that these four different sanda, where can it be called kung fu, and juggling, including Taijiquan, iron line boxing, Shaolin boxing, Xingyi boxing and other sects of grandmaster level masters.
However, what is surprising is that which folk masters, martial artists, and grandmasters of a generation are almost vulnerable under the sanda team members of the sports school.
At that time, those so-called martial arts people were very unhappy, and their faces were a little ugly, and they shouted after the game, saying that they were wearing gloves in the ring, which did not match martial arts, and could not exert the attack power of martial arts. Later, at the suggestion of the sports school, several hand-to-hand sanda versus traditional martial arts competitions were specially arranged, and before the competition, for fear of casualties, the sanda team members were specially required not to use elbow strikes and knee tops, which are extremely lethal.
As a result, there was no change in the form, the traditional martial arts were almost vulnerable, and in the end, everyone collectively lost their voices, and the matter was over.
However, in Wang Ben's eyes, martial arts is not useless, its theory is set on any school of martial arts, and actual combat is not good, that is because of the lack of real combat training when practicing martial arts.
During the Republic of China, there were many martial arts masters, who defeated foreign strongmen who weighed more than twice their weight in the ring. They have all been baptized by bloody battles, and they must not be false at all.
Therefore, there is no distinction between high and low martial arts, and the key is to look at the person who cultivates.
Wang Ben has personally seen the old man perform palm skills, a palm split, the speed is as fast as lightning, a few inches thick marble split into pieces, the palm power almost exceeds the big hammer, if it hits the human body, as long as the timing is in place, I believe that a shot can make the other party either dead or disabled.
Actual combat is the best way to improve the realm of martial arts, and now the society advocates civilization and prohibits fights and brawls, so the decline of Chinese martial arts is an inevitable trend.
Boxing competition is a real battle in the ring, if the essence of martial arts can be integrated into boxing, perhaps, this is another way to improve martial arts skills.
Thinking of this, Wang Ben fell into deep thought.
Next, Lu Biao began to formally teach Wang Ben the basics of boxing.
As a boxer, the first step is to make a fist correctly, and since the boxer wears gloves, there is a difference between a fist and a martial arts fist.
Wang Ben listened carefully and was soon fascinated by the sport of boxing.
Fist clenching is very important, attacking and retreating, not only to hit the opponent strongly, but also to ensure that you do not hurt your fingers.
In the ring, it often happens that the boxer hits halfway through, punches in the wrong position, hurts his fingers, resulting in the inability to exert force in the follow-up, and finally loses the victory of the game.
Therefore, it is very important to make a fist, which also includes the way the fist is struck, and the position of the point of attack that is in contact with the opponent.
Wang Ben has a deep understanding of this, when he was in middle school in his previous life, he once got into a fight with someone and accidentally hit the other party's teeth, although the other party's teeth were broken, but he himself had pain for almost a month, his fingers were almost broken, and his joints were swollen like a steamed bun.
Lu Biao taught very carefully, his fists were clenched, his four fingers were in a plane, his thumb was close to the index knuckle, and his fist was in a straight line with his wrist.
When punching, the contact point of attacking your fist must be four finger planes, and other positions of the fist must not collide with the target, otherwise it is easy to hurt the fist, especially the thumb joint. And the boxer cannot attack the opponent with the back of the hand, otherwise it will be considered a foul.
After Wang Ben basically mastered the fist clenching posture, Lu Biao began to teach him to wrap bandages.
This is different from traditional martial arts, where bandages on the hands are rare, and Muay Thai is the most common.
The purpose of the bandage is to make the fingers close together, so that the force can be concentrated, which can effectively reduce the probability of finger injury, and in addition, it can concentrate the attack force.
