Chapter Ninety-Three: Type X Attack
"We talk about X-shaped attacks because this attack technique uses diagonal attacks, taking the red and blue fighters on the stage as an example, the red side is the main attacker, and the blue side is the main defense."
With Mel's voice heard, the two in the ring were ready to demonstrate.
"The red boxer steps up with his left foot and attacks his opponent with a straight left hand.
The blue fighter takes a half-step back, and the red fighter immediately uses his right leg to perform a low kick that attacks the blue player's thigh on the same side.
When the blue fighter is hit in the thigh, the center of gravity instinctively tilts to this side, and the red fighter steps forward and uses his left hook to attack the blue fighter's head on the same side.
The blue fighter raises his arm on the same side and does a simple arm flex defense.
At this point, the red fighter throws a right hook that attacks the head on the other side of the blue boxer;
If the BLU fighter does not defend with the bend arm and just retreats, the RED fighter will attack the inner thigh of the opposite side of the BLU fighter with a right low kick......
This is a simple X-type attack, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a cross attack, the punch method is played from the top and bottom left and right with a rapid attack, and at the end of the connection with the heavy leg method from the top and bottom left and right attack, don't look simple, but very effective, the punch and leg attack from all directions, often make the opponent difficult to defend, but also have a decisive effect, in this kind of attack, the opponent will easily show flaws, and as the main attack, it is also very easy to catch the opponent's flaws, so as to strike.
One of the things to keep in mind when using the X-type attack is that you need to be prepared for the opponent's attack."
Mel watched the action decomposition demonstration of the two people on the stage, and carefully explained the X-type attack to Chen Sheng.
And Chen Sheng quickly grasped the essence of the Type X attack by watching the demonstration and Mel's careful explanation.
The demonstration in the ring was over, and Mel's explanation was over, and then Mel turned to look at Chen Sheng and asked:
"Well, Chen, now you understand what the X-type attack is all about, right?"
Chen Sheng nodded and said:
"Yes Mel, I fully understand the meaning of the Type X attack and know how to do it, as you said, it is a simple and effective attack method, it is not difficult to learn, the hard thing is to turn it into your own instinctive reaction.
Only in this way can I use it anytime and anywhere in future fights, and I need a lot of practice in this area now, only in this way, can I completely and thoroughly master this attack technique."
Mel nodded and said:
"Very good, your comprehension skills are very strong, so it will be much easier to teach in the future, let's start now"
Hearing Mel say this, Chen Sheng nodded excitedly and said:
"Okay"
So Mel directly took Chen Sheng to an open space with fewer people in the training hall, and Chen Sheng officially began to learn Dutch kickboxing.
Mel's teaching soon began, and Chen Sheng's strong foundation in martial arts allowed him to learn any martial arts very quickly, and almost all the technical essentials were explained by Mel, and Chen Sheng was able to quickly comprehend and understand them, and show them in the following training.
This made Mel very surprised and happy, such a student almost every coach will like it very much, it is so convenient, there is no need to emphasize supervision at all, and there is no need to even do the demonstration action a second time, everything Chen Sheng can understand and master at a very fast speed, and then quickly transform into his own things.
Even after a few demonstrations, Chen Sheng will make the most reasonable changes and adjustments according to his actual situation, so that the martial arts skills he has learned will become more powerful and more suitable for him.
Seeing Chen Sheng's strong learning ability, Mel was very happy, and naturally he was more attentive when he taught Chen Sheng, almost teaching him with all his heart.
Chen Sheng's learning is also very smooth and happy, Mel is worthy of being the most outstanding coach in the gym, and he is very conscientious and meticulous in the teaching process.
Mel can be said to be very familiar with what he taught, not only gave Chen Sheng a detailed verbal explanation, but also some demonstration actions, Mel felt that the sparring partner was not in place enough, or it was wrong, he would personally conduct a demonstration to correct his previous mistakes.
These made Chen Sheng feel very pleased, it seems that this time it is indeed the right one, and the money is also very worthwhile, Mel's coaching level is completely worthy of this price.
After a short period of training, Chen Sheng found that the rhythm of Dutch kickboxing is much higher than that of Muay Thai, and kickboxing uses more boxing footwork, moving faster and more flexibly, and using a lot of sliding step techniques, rather than the fixed movement that is close to a stop-and-walk like Muay Thai.
The kickboxing is also different from Muay Thai, using a posture that is conducive to punching and leg attacks without affecting the defense of the whole body and legs, so kickboxers can quickly connect to the kick after using a stormy combination attack, and such a punch and leg combination attack is indeed very powerful.
From here, it can be seen that the boxers who use kickboxing rely more on the combination of punch attack and leg attack, and the use of elbow and knee is not as important as Muay Thai. Bongaschi is the most typical representative of this style.
The problem with this kind of fast movement in kickboxing is that it's rare for kickboxers to see powerful mid-kicks in the same way that Muay Thai fighters do, and kickboxers tend to use low-post kicks to disrupt and weaken their opponents on the move.
These discoveries led Chen Sheng to decide that in the future, if possible, he would try to combine kickboxing and Muay Thai, two very similar martial arts techniques, to find a way out that suited him, so that his attacks could be both fast and swift with the fierceness of Muay Thai, and that his punches, legs, elbows and knees could be his most powerful weapons.
In this kind of focused teaching, time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it's time for the lunch break.
At noon, Chen Sheng and Frank did not plan to go back to Frank's parents' house, but planned to have lunch near the gym, then explore the nearby scenery, and then continue to return to the gym for the afternoon training.
Frank also knew that Dutch food made Chen Sheng, a person from China with a wealth of food, simply a rough and difficult thing to swallow, so after coming out today, he didn't plan to take Chen Sheng to eat Dutch food. Instead, I was going to Chinatown to see if there were any restaurants that both of them liked, and I could also take Chen Sheng to see the scenery of Amsterdam's Chinatown.
After coming out of the gym gate, Frank said to Chen Sheng:
"Chen Sheng, today I will take you to see Amsterdam's Chinatown, it is very delicious, and there are many Chinese restaurants, I know you don't have a good impression of Dutch food, so let's go find a Chinese restaurant to eat today"
For Frank's suggestion, Chen Sheng almost raised his hands in agreement.
"That's just great, since I went abroad for a while, the most uncomfortable thing is to eat, at first a day or two, I can still accept foreign food, but after a long time, I began to think about Chinese food, since Amsterdam has a Chinatown, then let's go and see it together, just to relieve my appetite"
Frank smiled and said:
"I know that most of you Chinese are like this, and it is no wonder that your diet is too rich and has too many delicacies, and it must be eye-catching for the diet of other countries."
Chen Sheng also smiled and said:
"Indeed, after the edification of so many domestic delicacies, our stomachs have become accustomed to it, and it is difficult to change the taste."
Frank may also think of his time in Hong Kong, and says with a smile:
"Yes, it's just me who doesn't want to leave after I arrive in Hong Kong, and food is also one of the reasons why I stay in Hong Kong."
"I don't know what cuisine you like, Hong Kong should be mostly Cantonese cuisine"
Chen Sheng asked.
"It doesn't matter which cuisine, I think every kind of Chinese cuisine is very delicious, every dish is a hundred times more delicate and complex than our Dutch cuisine, when I have nothing to do in Hong Kong, I just wander the streets and alleys looking for food, I have eaten almost every cuisine, I like them all, I have no special preference"
"Then let's eat Sichuan food, or Sichuan food is enjoyable to eat, to satisfy cravings"
"Okay, then Sichuan cuisine, I know that there is a restaurant in Chinatown where Sichuan cuisine is very delicious, famous in Chinatown, the most important thing is that it is very authentic, not much different from what I eat in China, let's go to his house"
Frank directly began to introduce the restaurant to Chen Sheng, and his own eyes already showed a look of yearning, it was obvious that the dishes of this restaurant still made him remember it.
"That's the best, I'm afraid of eating the kind of inauthentic, since you have such a good restaurant recommendation, then let's leave it at that"
After saying that, the two began to walk towards Chinatown.
Amsterdam's Chinatown is located in the center of the city, close to the old train station and the red light district. (To be continued.) )
