Chapter 350: Actively Preparing for War (Part II)
"You're pretty confident!" Luo An said with a smile.
"I'm really confident in my striking skills." Xiang Yingying straightened his chest and put on a very confident look.
Seeing this, Luo An shook his head and smiled, and said, "In addition to the daily basic physical training, this preparation plan appropriately shortens the time for standing training and lengthens the time for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training!" ”
Xiang Yingying nodded when he heard this, Luo An's focus on their training and preparation was similar to what he expected.
"You're a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but I don't think there's any difference between your so-called brown belt and not. You won't use Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a match at all. But I'm going to tell you right now that only people with a well-rounded skill set can go far in the UFC, not to mention that you want to gain weight and upgrade. So, you're going to spend a lot of time relearning BJJ in these two months. Luo An said with a serious expression.
"Okay! Coach Roan. Xiang Yingying agreed to the preparation training arrangement without any hesitation.
It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that after Xiang Yingying finished his physical fitness and standing training, he was taken to a not-so-large training room by Coach Luo An.
At this time, there were already two well-proportioned middle-aged men in Jiu-Jitsu training clothes in the training hall, both of whom wore black belts around their waists.
Luo An pointed to one of the slightly older people and introduced Xiang Yingying: "Hero! This is Conan Sylvia, one of the founders of our training camp and the head MMA coach, a four-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a black belt in judo. ”
After introducing Conan Sylvia, Roan pointed to another younger person, "Ding Thomas, MMA assistant coach, former UFC fighter, has a record of 26 wins, 9 losses and 1 draw. He holds a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and has reached the semifinals of the UFC 41 Lightweight Tour. He has defeated former welterweight champion Matt Serra, former Strikeforce lightweight champion Clay Gaida. ”
Xiang Yingying smacked his tongue again and again after hearing this, this is an incredible character, especially that Conan Silvia, who is actually a fourth-stage Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the highest-ranking Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coach he has ever seen.
"You've been training Jiu-Jitsu for two months, and you're in charge of Coach Conan Silvia and Coach Ding Thomas. Hero, this is a rare treatment! You have to take the opportunity and train well. ”
After Coach Roan said this, he said to Conan Silvia, "Coach Silvia, the hero is up to you. ”
Conan Silvia smiled and nodded when she heard this, and waited for Luo An to leave before saying to Xiang Yingying: "I've watched your fight, and I can only say that it's not bad, but it's really bad in jiu-jitsu, and I don't even know how you got your brown belt." ”
"Ugh!" Xiang Yingying shook his head in embarrassment, even he didn't know that he had received a brown belt after two months of training at the Phuket Tiger Training Camp.
Conan Sylvia didn't seem to be smiling, and after questioning Xiang Ying's Jiu-Jitsu brown belt, he didn't delve into it, but said very seriously: "In the next two months, I will teach you the real Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, to be precise, the Jiu-Jitsu of the 'God of Jiu-Jitsu' Rexon Gracie." ”
There was even a hint of emotion when Conan Silvia said the name of Rexon Gracie, who is the god to those who are passionate about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. For UFC fighters in particular, there would be no UFC without the Rexon-Gracie family.
Xiang Ying must know the name Rexon Gracie, and he also knows his god-like record, but as for Gracie's jiu-jitsu, he doesn't know much.
At this time, Conan Silvia seemed to fall into memory, and said with some emotion: "On November 12, 1993, under the promotion of the Gracie family, the first UFC event was held in Colorado, USA, and the worldwide mixed martial arts (MMA technology exchange platform was established, opening a new chapter in modern MMA sports. ”
"In the UFC1 and UFC2 eras, the fighting style of the fighters was obvious. Sumo wrestlers, boxers, and karate players only use their own techniques and have a relatively simple style. ”
The Gracie family's Rois Gracie made a show with his unique Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, where the boxer was dragged into the canvas before he could throw a single punch, and the strong Kenshamrock was strangled in front of Rois after only 57 seconds. In the final, Girard's punches and kicks couldn't be used on the ground, and Roys's rear-naked choke once again sent his opponent to the canvas. ”
"The skinny Rois won the championship in less than five minutes in three fights and went undefeated in UFC 2, UFC 3 and UFC 4 in a row, proving that victory was not a fluke. The grappling style of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu became a staple in the early days of the UFC. As the hero who made UFC history, Rois once said after establishing himself as a king: "My third brother Rexon is 10 times better than me!"
"What I'm going to teach you now is the strongest jiu-jitsu, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu."
When Xiang Yingying heard this, he said sincerely: "I will practice seriously." ”
When Conan Silvia heard this, a rare smile appeared on his face, he looked at Xiang Ying and said: "Your combat power skills are indeed not bad, your physical fitness is good, your physical fitness is abundant, and your core strength is great, this is the main reason why you can get to where you are now." ”
Conan-Silvia said this, frowning before continuing, "To be exact, you should belong to the strike system. ”
Xiang Yingying nodded when he heard this, if he was strictly distinguished, he was indeed a strike system.
Seeing the hero's approval, Conan Silvia continued: "In the middle of the UFC, the striking system, the wrestling system, and the jiu-jitsu department became the three main styles in mixed martial arts. And this situation did not last long, there is only one reason, that is, only the strongest person can become the only king. Only by constantly surpassing and developing can we get closer and closer to the throne. ”
"With the development of technology, the major training camps and gyms have become more and more fully aware of and study the rules of the game, and the role of tactics and strategy has also become the key to determining victory or defeat.
UFC Hall of Famer Mark Kuhlman lost to former kickboxing champion Smith for lacking mid-to-long-range striking ability. The likes of Vito and Pee were also defeated by wrestler-turned-Randy "The Evergreen" Lendy. ”
"The UFC cage's walls allow strong wrestlers to push their opponents directly against the wall, limiting their range of motion and attacking. And the veteran Lan Di, who is good at this, defeated the strong man of the strike system with this. In the PEIDE ring, Antonio's magical jiu-jitsu was also unable to defeat due to the lack of striking ability and wrestling coordination, and the "Russian Tsar" Fido, who was almost seamlessly integrated with striking and ground ability. ”
"Therefore, it is no longer a competition for the strongest genre of boxing, but a competition for whose skills are more prominent and comprehensive. The convergence and crossover of techniques is the main theme of modern combat fighter training. ”
"Hero! If you want to get a foothold in the UFC and go further, you have to be an 'all-rounder'. All right! Let's start your all-round path! ”
Xiang didn't take submission skills too seriously, especially after he won four fights with his striking skills, and he didn't care about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu even more.
But after hearing Conan Sylvie's analysis of the technical evolution of MMA just now, Xiang Yingying has learned a lot, has a deeper understanding of his technical singularity, and is determined to calm down, train himself hard, make up for his shortcomings, and become an all-round boxer......
