After leaving the head coach's office, Tang Long did not go to the shower area to take a shower, but came to the training area to play sandbags and practice punch and kick combinations. The music in the club stopped, and after a while, Jin Tianya and the tired fighters all went back to rest after taking a shower, and the surroundings became quiet, only the sound of Tang Long's fists and legs hitting the sandbags was stirring. After a few punches and kicks, he felt his punches and legs grow heavy, and his pounding heart seemed to pop out of his chest, so he stopped and paced clockwise around the training area.

"Young man, why are you working so hard today?" A voice came from behind him.

Tang Long turned around and saw Coach Zhang holding a broom, ready to clean the club, followed by Coach Liu, Coach Hu and other coaches.

"There's a game next week." He walked up to Coach Zhang and said.

"What game?"

"Pengcheng Martial Arts."

"Oh, yes, training with the race, the progress will be very fast."

"I'll clean it up for you!"

"If you're not dirty, you're welcome."

Tang Long found a broom and swept the training area with Coach Zhang, and after sweeping, several people brought mops and dragged the club clean. After the club's sanitation was almost cleaned, several coaches said goodbye to Coach Zhang and left the club, leaving the empty club, only Tang Long and Coach Zhang were left.

"Tired, young man?"

"It's nothing to clean a little, before I came to the club, I was always delivering beer, which is easier than delivering beer."

"It's good, life is also a kind of practice."

"The first time I came to Pengqiang Fight Club, I saw you cleaning, I mistakenly thought you were a cleaning uncle invited by the club, and when you beat a fat and strong young man in black to the ground, I knew that you were the club's vice head coach."

"Haha, when you're older, you'll be able to do some manual work." Coach Zhang laughed, wrinkles stretching across his face.

"I know that the head coach was trained by you, so where did you learn your kung fu?"

"Young people are so curious." Uncle Zhang smiled and said, "If you want to talk about this problem, it's far away, I can tell you, but you have to prepare some wine, buy some snacks and come over, and I'll tell you while drinking." ”

"No problem." Thinking that he could play the game next week and come up with the court fee, Tang Long agreed in one bite.

After Tang Long washed through the cool, he came to the convenience store downstairs. He bought two bottles of hard liquor and two bottles of Tsingtao beer, two paper cups, two pairs of chopsticks, several bags of salted peanuts, phoenix feet, orchid beans, and shredded squid at a convenience store.

Uncle Zhang was very happy when he saw the bag of food and drink. Tang Long took out his backpack from the locker room, turned off the club's lights and exhaust fans, and chatted with Uncle Zhang while drinking in the lounge in the reception area.

"What did you just ask me about? Where did I learn my kung fu? Uncle Zhang took out a peanut from the bag, peeled off the shell, put the peanut into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

"Yes." Tang Long opened a bottle of strong wine, poured most of the paper cups for Uncle Zhang, and then opened a bottle of beer and poured himself a glass.

"Have you heard of Mr. Mei Huizhi?" Uncle Zhang raised his glass, tasted the crimson wine in the cup and said.

Tang Long shook his head. He looked at Uncle Zhang in front of him, he had just had a haircut, the hair on the top of his head was a little thin, his eyes were shining with happiness, and his stubble, like his hair, was a little gray. The fist he raised the cup was large, the joints were covered with a thin layer of fist calluses, and the protruding blood vessels on the back of the fist were swayed like snakes, looking thicker than the blood vessels of ordinary people.

"It's normal that I haven't heard of him, and young people nowadays hardly know about him, but a few decades ago, in the entire martial arts, he was a figure that everyone knew and everyone knew."

"Why?" Tang Long asked.

"Mr. Mei is a master of Chinese martial arts, a pioneer in the integration and development of traditional martial arts and modern fighting, and one of the founders of Chinese sanda. Without the establishment of Sanda Sports by Mr. Mei, there would be no Liu Hailong, Baoligao, Yuan Yubao, Zhang Kaiyin, Convenient, Fu Gaofeng and other Sanda kings were born, under the teaching of Mr. Mei, Beijing emerged Zhang Xinzheng, Du Zhengao, Ma Haisong, Li Jinghua, Chen Shunqiang, Yang Guangjun, Zhang Lihua and other generations of outstanding Sanda athletes. ”

"Why did you create Sanda at that time?"

"In the late 70s and early 80s, the country was vigorously developing sports, advocating sports to go abroad and perform and exchange abroad. In this context, the national taolu team is often invited to perform in countries around the world, which has been well received by many countries and has a great impact, coupled with the hit of the movie "Shaolin Temple", so that many people in the world who have never been in contact with Chinese martial arts have learned about the charm of Chinese martial arts at close range, and set off a wave of Chinese martial arts craze in the world. Although in the 40s in Western boxing and Chinese martial arts in China, Cai Guiqin's fifteen-year-old son Cai Yunlong defeated black American boxers, causing a national sensation. However, when Chinese martial arts collide with modern fighting, the problem of Chinese martial arts not adapting to the ring and lacking actual combat appears, especially the routines used for performance. This aroused the call of many people to develop modern martial arts that adapt to the ring competition, so this task was handed over to Beijing Shichahai Sports School, and the sports school handed over this task to Mei Huizhi, a wrestling coach who practiced gossip and Xingyi since childhood, and later learned boxing and Chinese wrestling. ”

"It turns out that Coach Zhang is from the Beijing Sanda team."

"The Beijing Sanda Team was established earlier, inclusive, widely absorbing fighting techniques from different countries, with a set of scientific and advanced training systems, and with famous teachers in charge, many talents have emerged."

"The controversy caused by traditional Chinese martial arts in the past two years has been relatively large, especially since Xu Xiaodong's crackdown, which has put traditional Chinese martial arts on the cusp, what do you think of this?"

"It is an indisputable fact that traditional Chinese martial arts have gradually lost their actual combat nature, and it is indeed impossible to compete with modern fighting in the ring."

"How can you lose your practicality?"

"It's a long story."

"It's okay, speak slowly."

"Traditional martial arts were very murderous at first because it was a killing technique."

"Murder?" Tang Long was a little surprised.

"It is not an exaggeration to say that Chinese martial arts are divided into Jiangmen martial arts and Zongmen martial arts, Jiangmen martial arts are used to kill the enemy with weapons in the era of cold weapons, such as the very famous Yang family generals, Yue family army, Qi Jiguang's Qi family army, etc., however, with the end of the cold weapon era, Jiangmen martial arts has withdrawn from the historical stage. The martial arts of the sect were summed up by practitioners who practiced in the mountains and dense forests. In the remote and silent dense forest, in addition to meditating and cultivating, you also have to defend against the attacks of wild beasts, fight against wild beasts for a long time, observe the dynamics of wild beasts, and use refining methods, meditation, and Dan Dao techniques to fuse a feminine martial arts system, which is against wild beasts at the beginning, so the degree of ferocity can be imagined, only Chinese martial arts are integrated into bionics. The very lethal Muay Thai is the same as the Chinese sect martial arts, Thailand believes in Theravada Buddhism, divided into pastoral and mountain forest schools, Muay Thai originated from the mountain forest school, is a practitioner in the tropical rainforest against wild beasts, Thai people use it for battlefield and competitive fighting, has continued to use religious martial arts techniques to train fighters. The Chinese pay more attention to the health and practical combat, gradually downplaying the ferocity of martial arts, and playing with the reason. Just as the Chinese elevated the tool of writing to calligraphy, which is both readable and artistic. ”

"And then?" Tang Long asked with interest.

He saw that Uncle Zhang's cup was empty, poured Uncle Zhang another glass of strong wine, grabbed a handful of peanuts from the bag and put it in front of him.

"Muay Thai and traditional Chinese martial arts are also derived from religious practices, and the principles are very similar. But today, Muay Thai has dominated the boxing world for 500 years, but traditional Chinese martial arts have long been in decline...... Alas...... It's a stark contrast to Muay Thai. ”

"Traditional Chinese martial arts will be revived, don't worry."

"I hope so, the Song Dynasty Chongwen light martial arts, folk ban on martial arts, this ban is mainly to prohibit cold weapons martial arts, and after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Qing Dynasty's ban on martial arts was more serious, but it was also a ban on weapons and fists and feet, Zheng Chenggong's subordinates and some anti-Qing and Ming restoration groups left behind in the mainland after the failure of the counterattack on the mainland, such as Hongmen, often practiced underground, in order not to attract the attention of the Qing court and encirclement and suppression, so it created a form of training for boxing, while the northern martial arts were reduced to opera performances, the southern martial arts were taking off the gun for the fist, so, This is also the reason why the real martial arts in China are in the south and not in the north. ”

"Take off the gun for a fist? This is the first time I've heard that word. Tang Long said, tilting his head slightly and taking a sip of half a beer from his glass.
