Chapter 44: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
"That's it! Now let's start doing some basic warm-up moves, come on! You lie down first, and I'll tell you the essentials! β
Chu Xingyun lay down according to Lao Zhang's instructions, and then Lao Zhang continued:
"How much do you know about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?"
"Not a lot, only watched a little occasionally on TV"
"Well, that's really a little white, then I'll tell you about the origin of Barou first, you listen while doing sit-ups, do sit-ups know how to do it, right? You can get up halfway, you don't have to get up all the time, sitting up the whole is not good for the lumbar spine! Okay, you start doing it, I'll tell you, you can listen to it, and when you're tired, you can rest! β
Lao Zhang said carefully.
"Yes! Master," Chu Xingyun obediently began to sit down one by one, doing sit-ups.
"Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a submission technique, known for its grappling, a combination of martial arts and self-defense, which was passed down to the Gracie family in Brazil by Mitsuyo Maeda of Japanese judo, and later improved and carried forward by the Gracie family to form its own school, which is what we call Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Of course, many of Japan's martial arts skills are also derived from China's martial arts, such as karate was introduced to Japan in the Tang Dynasty, which used to be called "Tang Hands", and later changed its name to "Karate".
As for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, there is no fixed routine, no fixed pattern, only flexible techniques to see the moves, so what is more needed to practice BJJ is a kind of thinking, just like in the next game of chess, every action and every reaction you have to have your own strategy, so that the opponent is controlled by you step by step, and enter your final nirvana to subdue the opponent, understand? Lao Zhang asked Chu Xingyun, who was so engrossed that he forgot to do sit-ups.
"Hmm..."Chu Xingyun nodded as if he didn't understand.
"Hey, forget it, these are more esoteric, and when your skills are advanced in the future, you will naturally be able to understand them." Lao Zhang shook his head and said.
"Let's go on to talk about Ba Rou, pay attention to the skill of strength, there is a saying that one skill breaks a thousand catties, unlike other standing fighting skills, emphasizing one's own strength, one strength is better than ten meetings.
Even a thin body like you, with the right technique and the use of the principle of leverage, can subdue a strong person.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is mainly based on ground fighting techniques, and is also good at dragging opponents to the canvas for submissions, so the first thing to practice Ba Ju is to let the body learn how to exert power on the ground! β
Lao Zhang then said to Chu Xingyun.
"How do you exert power on the ground??? Isn't the ground force the same as the ground power? β
Chu Xingyun asked puzzled
"Haha, okay, come on, you lie on the ground and punch me!"
Chu Xingyun immediately lay on the ground, and Lao Zhang sat on his lap.
"Come on! Slap me in the face! Lao Zhang shouted
Chu Xingyun punched hard, and his fist rubbed Lao Zhang's chin.
"How hard do I work when you sit on me!"
Chu Xingyun said dissatisfiedly.
"Okay, then I'll get up, you can try to hit my palm again."
Lao Zhang stood up as he spoke, stood up with his palms in front of Chu Xingyun, and let Chu Xingyun hit his palms, Chu Xingyun exerted force on his waist, half sat up, and punched Lao Zhang's palm!
The power of softness...
Chu Xingyun looked at his fist in surprise
"Huh? I really can't use my strength! β
"Haha, ground and ground fighting skills are completely two power modes, understand? The power point, the support point, and the muscle group that exert force are all different! β
Lao Zhang explained, and continued:
"Okay, that's all for now, let's start with the basics! Lie down first, I'll go find a prop! β
"What? And props?! β
"Well, it's specially prepared for you, ordinary people don't need it, you don't have much time now, you can only borrow props to quickly increase your strength!"
Lao Zhang said as he trotted to the edge of the woods and brought a stack of sawn tree stumps, some large and some small, some like a disc, and some felt like a big stump!
Chu Xingyun, who was watching, was dumbfounded, what is this for?
I won't let myself hit this stump, there is nothing to protect this stump, I have to hit it with my fists, the stump is fine, my hands are estimated to be worn out first, Chu Xingyun, who was lying on the ground, thought so.
Lao Zhang was very excited to hold a medium-sized stump and said:
"Come on! Start with this weight! I'll teach you the simplest Ba Rou technique firstβthe bridge! β
Lao Zhang said to Chu Xingyun while putting a round wooden disc that was almost two fists thick on the ground, and smashed it on the ground with a muffled sound.
"The bridge is the simplest power technique, and it is mainly used to get rid of the opponent's submission with its own support after being suppressed on the ground.
Come, let me tell you about the shoulder bridge first, the general action essentials is to arch the legs first, the waist and legs are forced, support the body, rely on the shoulders as a fulcrum, the body must be stiffened, the shoulders are lifted as much as possible, the shoulders are raised a little, and the space left for your body to escape is a little bigger, understand? Come! I'll do a demonstration first, you can see! Look closely! β
Lao Zhang said, just lay on the ground, his hands bent and shrunk to his chest, his legs bent, his waist pushed up his body, the whole body was like a figure-seven arch bridge, and the shoulders and soles of the feet were the fulcrums on both sides.
"How's that, do you see? It's that simple, it shouldn't be difficult, right? β
"Hmm... Master! Do you see my standard of action? β
Chu Xingyun took a look at it, and imitated it on the side, and the movements were still decent.
"Well, yes, but you don't have time right now, you need intensive training, come! Add a block to this! β
Lao Zhang nodded and said, then picked up the round wooden plate just now from the side and put it on Chu Xingyun's stomach, and suddenly, Chu Xingyun felt a gravity pressing on his stomach, and he gritted his teeth to support it.
"Make a few bridges and I'll see!" Lao Zhang said.
"Hmm... 1β¦ 2β¦ 2β¦β
When Chu Xingyun heard this, he used his power to eat milk, but he only did one, and the second one couldn't be done.
With a "snap", the whole person was really bored, so he slapped heavily on the ground, making it dusty.
"Ahem, you kid really don't have any energy at all, forget it, I'm looking for you a light one!"
Lao Zhang used his hand to disperse the dust in front of him, and said to Chu Xingyun, who was paralyzed on the ground.
Then he ran to the side and took out a log disc that was almost a fist thick.
"You're trying this, you can only start with the lightest now, but as long as you persist, you should be able to practice the effect in no time!"
Lao Zhang changed a small wooden disc that was several circles on the top and said encouragingly.
"Hmmm! Master, I will try! β
Chu Xingyun showed a resolute look in his eyes, and said to Lao Zhang firmly.
"Good! I'll do my best to teach you too! β
Lao Zhang saw Chu Xingyun's eyes and applauded.
