Chapter 62: Muay Thai
"Bang, bang, bang"
As soon as he entered the gym, Chen Sheng heard the sound of hitting the target.
Looking up, the space of the boxing gym is very large, the training facilities are also very complete, the most eye-catching is the sandbags that hang several rows, there are many people in the boxing gym training, almost every sandbag in front of the people, there are people concentrating on target shooting, there are practicing leg sweeping targets, there are practicing boxing, there are also holding sandbags to constantly knee hit the target, and there is a fierce elbow target,
In addition, in some open spaces in the gym, as well as in several rings, there are also people cooperating with each other to practice target shooting, and the entire space of the gym is filled with a strong smell of fighting.
As soon as Chen Sheng and Frank came in, they couldn't help but be a little excited when they watched this kind of training scene, it is worthy of being the most famous Muay Thai gym in Thailand, whether it is the venue facilities or the level of these training fighters in the gym, it is very high, Chen Sheng feels that he has come to the right place this time.
As soon as Ah Ming came in, he called Boqiu, and at this time, Boqiu was also practicing leg sweeping, so he asked Amin to take Chen Sheng and them to the boxing ring where he practiced.
Chen Sheng and Frank followed Ah Ming and began to play inside the gym.
The two men's tall frames, as well as their cool beach attire, immediately caught the attention of many in the gym, and when Chen Sheng and Frank walked past them, many fighters would stop training and observe the two of them.
Along the way, Chen Sheng also kept observing these fighters who were training, as well as the various training facilities in the venue.
Judging from the training intensity, age, and physical condition of these training fighters, these people are basically Muay Thai fighters who have begun to officially fight, and their whole body reveals a very strong desire to fight, as well as a faint taste of blood.
As for the sparring staff, many of them also look very lean, and it is clear that most of them were or are real Muay Thai fighters, but they have retired or are training with other fighters, and some of the older coaches are mostly experienced real Muay Thai coaches.
After passing through the three rings, he arrived at the center of the boxing gym, where there is the largest boxing ring in the boxing gym, Chen Sheng saw that Boqiu was doing leg sweeping exercises on the boxing ring, and there were two sparring partners in the boxing ring, one of which was about forty years old, and should be the coach of Boqiu, while holding two hand targets and constantly letting Boqiu kick, while giving on-site guidance to Boqiu in Thai.
The other sparring partner is wearing protective gear all over his body, and his arms, chest, waist and legs are full of thick targets, protecting himself tightly, and it is obvious that this is a real sparring partner.
After listening to the coach's explanation, Boqiu began to do a quick leg sweep with the sparring partner next to him, while his coach pinched the watch and counted for him next to him.
The two of them walked to the center of the ring, and after the coach signaled that they could start, they began a frantic leg sweeping exercise.
I saw him swing his right leg, lightning generally pulled towards the target that the sparring partner held with both hands, "bang" a loud sound, the leg sweep hit the target, just judging from the sound, Chen Sheng knew that the strength of this leg sweep was very powerful, and the speed was very fast, when fighting in the boxing ring, such a leg sweep must be extremely powerful, far stronger than the lethality of a heavy punch, and at the same time the attack surface is large, the tibia of the entire calf can attack the opponent from the foot surface, which is very difficult to prevent.
Compared with the characteristics of the whip leg mainly attacking with the foot surface, there is no doubt that the actual combat of the leg sweep is stronger, not only because the attack surface of the leg sweep is large, but also because of its way of force, it is indeed much stronger than the strength of the whip leg, and naturally the damage brought to the opponent in actual combat is stronger than that of the whip leg.
The frantic leg sweeps in the ring continued, and they were getting faster and faster.
The sound of "bang, bang, bang" sweeping the target was almost connected, and his speed not only increased a lot, but the intensity and strength of his attack were also rapidly increasing.
“――20、21、22、23……”
The coach in the ring kept shouting in Thai for Boqiu to count, and the rest of the boxers on the edge of the ring who watched Boqiu's training also shouted for Boqiu's leg sweep and count, and the sound of several people reporting the number became faster and faster, almost without pause, and a string of numbers echoed throughout the gym with the sound of Boqiu's crazy leg sweep.
Chen Sheng looked at Boqiu's leg sweep, at first it was just an appreciative gaze, but as the speed and strength of Boqiu's leg sweeping continued to increase and increase, Chen Sheng's face became more and more solemn, and in the end, his face was already full of shocked expressions.
At this time, the speed of the leg sweep is no less than the fastest whip speed.
The whip leg is fast because of the way it comes out, mainly with the calf swing volley, so it is fast, but the whip leg can't do so many quick high-intensity volleys in a row.
The leg sweep does not have these problems, the leg sweep uses the waist and hip to drive the leg to kick, and the source of power is more powerful, so it can maintain such a high-speed kick and powerful force.
That's why leg sweeps are so powerful in the arena that many fighters are willing to attack in this way.
This kind of crazy non-stop fast kick made Chen Sheng feel very shocked, and sighed that the other party really deserves to be the real Muay Thai boxing champion, the most outstanding representative of Muay Thai in recent years, and his strength is indeed very strong.
“95、96、97、98、99、100”
As the count reached one hundred, the boo qiu on the boxing ring quickly switched to the left leg sweep, and the sparring partner holding the target turned around in the boxing ring, and raised the target to meet the sweeping leg that Boqiu volleyed, and the action was very skillful, obviously, such exercises are done every day, and the two sides have a very tacit understanding, and the coach next to him and the rest of the boxers on the sidelines also began to count again naturally.
Soon, the speed of Boqiu's left leg sweep was the same as the previous right leg sweep speed, and he kept sweeping towards the target held by the sparring partner with the same ferocity and speed.
The sound of "bang, bang, bang" constantly echoed through the space of the gym.
Chen Sheng watched Boqiu's crazy and fast leg sweep, the shock on his face became heavier and heavier, it seems that Boqiu's leg strength is very balanced, and they all have extremely powerful lethality, which is very commendable, ordinary fighters have their own main attack legs or punches, and it is very rare to have a balanced left and right leg strength like Boqiu, such a boxer will undoubtedly multiply the power of such a fighter in the ring, which makes people unguardable.
As the count of Boqiu's left leg sweep reached 100, he also stopped, stood in the ring to breathe quickly, and made a short recovery, it was obvious that the two rounds of crazy leg sweeps just now were not small for him.
Boqiu had already seen Chen Sheng and Frank standing on the edge of the ring, but they had been training, so they didn't come over to say hello, this training stopped, after resting for a while, and after the breath was basically stable, Boqiu walked towards Chen Sheng, walked to the edge of the ring, got out of the rope, and walked in front of Chen Sheng in three or two steps.
"Savadika, Mr. Chen Sheng, welcome to Bangkok, Thailand"
Boqiu clasped his hands together and nodded to Chen Sheng with a smile.
Chen Sheng also greeted the other party.
"Savadika, Mr. Hiroku, long time no see"
Both were communicating in English, so there were no problems and no translation was required.
After exchanging greetings in Thai etiquette, the two shook hands again, and then, Boqiu introduced several people on his side to Chen Sheng, basically coaches and fighters.
Chen Sheng introduced himself to everyone, and at the same time introduced Frank to everyone present.
"Mr. Boqiu, the main purpose of my visit to Thailand this time is to learn Muay Thai, I wonder if your gym accepts temporary students like me?"
Chen Sheng looked at Boqiu and asked.
"No problem, our gym is very open, you can see that our gym has a lot of foreign friends to practice here, so you are also very welcome to come to us to learn Muay Thai, and I am also very interested in your Chinese martial arts, I hope to be able to understand the mysteries of Chinese martial arts through you."
Boqiu also welcomed Chen Sheng's arrival very much.
Next, Boqiu took Chen Sheng and Frank directly to the gym manager's office, and soon went through the procedures for the two to join the Popam Gym, Chen Sheng and Frank joined the Popam Gym, Chen Sheng registered the identity of the boxer, and Frank was the identity of the sparring partner.
After the procedure, Bo Qiu and his coach took Chen Sheng and Frank on a tour of Thailand's most famous gym.
Boqiu took them to walk in the gym, watching the fighters who were training next to him, and introduced Chen Sheng to Muay Thai as he walked.
"Muay Thai is a traditional fighting technique in our Thailand, is a fighting technique known for strength and agility, also known as" eight-legged sport, "the science of the eight bodies", mainly using the human body's fists, legs, knees, elbows and limbs and eight bodies as eight weapons to attack, punch and leg, make the knee with the elbow force smooth and smooth, the strength is extremely abundant, the attack is sharp, and we are talking about Muay Thai, referring to modern Muay Thai, not ancient Muay Thai, modern Muay Thai is based on ancient Muay Thai, Absorb a lot of the other modern techniques and strengths, and gradually develop. Muay Thai can be said to be our national art of Thailand, after hundreds of years of development, Muay Thai has become a very unique, profound and complete martial arts system"
While listening to Boqiu's explanation, Chen Sheng observed the training of the fighters in the gym from time to time, especially the powerful leg sweep and elbow targeting, Chen Sheng was more interested.
Boqiu also noticed the focus of Chen Sheng's gaze, and saw that he was very concerned about target training, so he continued:
"Muay Thai is a kind of horizontal martial arts, with a strong lethality, every Muay Thai boxer from the first day of contact with Muay Thai, to keep boiling the body, until adulthood, never relaxed, so every real Muay Thai boxer's body, is as hard as a rock, so under the perennial exercise, not only the boxer's attack is strong, but also the boxer's ability to resist hitting is also very strong"
Chen Sheng listened and nodded in reply.
"This is the same as the outer door horizontal practice of kung fu in our martial arts, the pursuit of the ultimate in strength and powerful and unparalleled attack power"
Boqiu nodded in agreement.
"I don't understand the division in your martial arts, in our Muay Thai, there is only one way to train, so when you learn Muay Thai, you have to know how to protect yourself, otherwise you will be very vulnerable to injury.
Many Muay Thai fighters just overconsume themselves when they are young, do not know how to protect, and are prone to physical problems after retirement.
The development of Muay Thai to modern times, is already a very scientific, complete fighting skills, learning Muay Thai is also a systematic process, it is best to learn under the guidance of experienced coaches, you choose to come to our gym is a very good decision, there are the best coaches and sparring partners in Thailand, you can definitely learn the most authentic Muay Thai"
Together, Chen, Frank, and Boqiu quickly turned around the entire gym, and Chen found that there were very few heavyweight fighters in the gym, most of them were middleweight and below, and there were only a few white and black fighters in the heavyweight division.
Boqiu saw Chen Sheng's gaze on the bodies of those heavyweights, so he explained:
"We have very few heavyweight fighters here, even the whole Thai heavyweight boxer is also very few, which has something to do with the size of our Thai people, the height of our people is generally much shorter than that of Europeans and Americans, and because of diet and climate, we are generally thin, so there are not many Thai heavyweight fighters, basically concentrated in the middleweight and below level, the current heavyweight boxing rings in Thailand's domestic Muay Thai competitions are basically those from the world of European and American fighters, and compared with them, we are a little worse in size and strength"
Chen Sheng also knows this situation, not only is this the case in Muay Thai now, but in all the world's martial arts arenas, heavyweight matches are basically the world of Europeans and Americans, and this situation will definitely change with his entry into the martial arts arena.
They stood and chatted under the ring where several heavyweight fighters trained, and it quickly caught the attention of several fighters training in the ring and nearby.
Several boxers saw Chen Sheng and Frank's tall bodies, and also knew that they were also heavyweights, and suddenly these boxers were a little itchy, and said that the opportunity to clean up the rookie had come, so two of the boxers walked over to Chen Sheng, their faces and eyes were full of provocation.
Chen Sheng and Boqiu, who were on the edge of the ring, both saw the performance of these fighters, and they all looked at the two fighters who came over with interest.
Chen Sheng doesn't mind showing his fighting strength in front of everyone at all, this is a world where the strong are king, only if your strength is strong enough, you can win more respect, if you don't have strength, then everything is empty, and everything is in vain.
Boqiu also knew that Chen Sheng's cleaning up of these heavyweight boxers must be as simple as chopping melons and vegetables, but he didn't see Chen Sheng's real fighting strength on the spot, he had seen life and death fighting in Bali before, and the Macau Fighting Competition was video materials, which were not very enjoyable, and Boqiu was eager to see Chen Sheng's live fighting performance now.
It really happened that someone sent a pillow when he fell asleep, and these heavyweight boxers now came to the door without knowing whether they were alive or dead, just to see Chen Sheng's live combat performance, and also let Chen Sheng teach these ghosts who didn't know the height of the sky, which made Boqiu suddenly excited, and he knew that he had a good show to watch.
