"So, Seti-kun, you want to relearn boxing footwork?"

Eii Okita asked.

"Yes, I've been missing a bit a bit in this area lately, and I want to make up for it." Sethi nodded.

"That's easy, I'm the best at teaching people!" Okita Ei showed her white little tiger teeth, smiled confidently, and rolled up her sleeves, as if she was going to do a big job.

As she led Ser to the empty space of the sandbags in the corner, she asked:

"What does Seti-kun want to re-learn? Offensive footwork? Defensive footwork? Or is it an advanced footwork switch and a feint? ”

Belch... Can I learn them all... Although Seti could understand what she was saying, as a boxer half-ass, he couldn't form an effective contrast in his mind at all.

I can understand it, but not much.

He said:

"Let's learn it all... I also had a very little theoretical knowledge. ”

"It's okay, then let's come one by one." Okita seems to have been brought into the role of a teacher, and she is quite patient with Seti, a student with a poor foundation.

She pondered for a moment before she introduced:

"Let's start with the basics, do you know what footwork is in boxing? Or rather, what is the role of footwork? ”

Let's start with the basics, although I'm a leader in the black boxing arena, I really don't know these things... Sethi thought for a moment, and according to his own understanding, replied uncertainly:

"A technique for approaching enemies and dodging enemy attacks?"

"Well, that's understandable." Okita pecked her head and replied.

But then she changed her words and said:

But that's not a complete picture.

“拳击中步法的作用，其实永远都只有一条，那就是为‘拳’服务，使用各种各样的步法，接近与躲避敌人，只是为了更好的出拳... Of course, dodging the enemy's attack is also preparing for your next punch.

"This is actually the biggest difference between boxing and taekwondo, and even kickboxing.

"In kickboxing, the punches and legs are parallel, there is no primary or secondary, in taekwondo, the legs are much more important than the punches, and in boxing, the role of the legs is to foil... Or rather, an amplification fist.

"The two are an absolute whole, a whole supplemented by 'fists' and 'legs', so all footwork must be used with 'double fists', if not, it is not boxing."

After saying a lot, Okita stopped quite experiencedly, quietly and stopped talking, giving Seti time to think and understand.

I get it... No wonder I always feel awkward, it turns out that I care too much about footwork, treat it as a separate thing, and don't really see it as an aid, which leads to how to use it awkwardly...

Setimouth suddenly opened and thanked the little boxing fan girl: "Listen to your words, it's better to read... No, it's a ten-year fight! ”

"Hee-hee, how can it be so exaggerated!" Eii Okita replied, having said that, her face was full of joy.

There's nothing happier than being complimented on yourself by an unrequited love partner.

So she worked harder and harder, and asked:

"Seti-kun, do you know what the twelve basic footwork are?"

Sethi said, "You say. ”

"They are forward, backward, left, right, sprint, backward, forward, backward, left, left, and right.

"Every footwork is transformed from a basic stance."

As he spoke, Okita put on a boxing stance, spread her legs back and forth, jumped slightly, and said:

"This is the basic stance, the movement is not learned, the only point that needs to be paid attention to is that Setijun needs to always put the center of gravity of the body in the middle of the feet, and when the subsequent footwork changes, you also need to strictly abide by this, only in this way can you always maintain balance."

Seti nodded, followed the beautiful girl boxing teacher in front of her, and posed in a boxing posture.

"Setijun, your right fist is raised too high, and it is slightly lower, which is more in line with the muscle structure of your height, which is conducive to the strength of the waist and abdomen." Eii Okita reminded.

Seti did so, and suddenly felt that her right fist was more coordinated.

Boxing is similar to fitness, and it is very detailed.

It is the so-called layman who looks at the excitement, and the insider who looks at the doorway.

Just like fitness, when you use a lat pulldown to work the lat dorsi, depending on which fingers you hold the lever and where you hold the lever, the focus of the muscles you can work is completely different.

Some small muscle groups may only require you to rotate the joints to achieve a perfect isolation training, on the contrary, if you don't have this small internal rotation movement, the exercise will only be half the effort.

The same is true for boxing, Seti just lowered his right arm by about two centimeters, but he could clearly feel that this was the best position to exert power.

The devil is in the details... Seti felt once again that she was really worth finding her teacher today.

It's much better than him groping around alone.

Apparently perfectly substituted for the role of a private boxing teacher, Ei Okita did not perceive the emotion in Seti's heart, and she continued to demonstrate:

"It's a forward slide, and the main purpose is to close the short distance, paving the way for a tentative jab... Of course, you can also use your right foot as a front footwork for a straight right punch, which is more versatile in combat. ”

She glides forward with her left foot and her right foot close on top of her, a cleanest and most standard forward step.

Seti continued to imitate.

"Seti-kun, don't jump when using sliding steps, it's not easy to stabilize the center of gravity, it's even more difficult to connect your fists, footwork is not just for moving, every time you cast it, you have to swing your fist better."

“... Yes, yes, that's it, perfect! ”

“... This is a forward slide and step... The main function is to attack the opponent from a long distance straight punch is a footwork, but in most cases because of the long distance, the range of action is large, the intention is too obvious, and the number of times it can be effective in actual combat is not much, so in most cases, it is now a feint... Of course, you can also think backwards and deliberately make the other person think it's fake, but you're using the real thing..."

“... This is ......."

“......”

After following the boxing little fan girl to go through the twelve basic footwork.

At the same time, under her detailed explanation and experience sharing, Sethi's understanding of boxing footwork has become more and more profound.

At least it's no longer the reckless man who didn't know anything about it before.

So Seti began to formally ask about the confusion he was currently in, and said, "You can help me to see how my footwork switches, I always feel that something is not smooth enough, see what is wrong?" ”

After saying that, Seti posed for the sandbag next to him.

First, he slid forward and left jab, then reverted to his original basic stance, and then turned to a left sliding and right punch!

The series of movements was indeed a little smoother than before, but the feeling of blockade that had puzzled Sethi for a long time remained.

He still doesn't change his footwork as smoothly as he used to do with Dulais.

Seti frowned slightly, and said to the little boxing fan girl beside her:

"I always had a sense of blockage, and I didn't have that feeling of flowing water when I switched footwork... This is a glaring flaw in actual combat.

"But I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't find anything wrong, could it be that I was too tall? Or is it because my muscles are stiff? ”

Through the teaching of the little boxing fan girl just now, Seti has completely confirmed that she is a delicate girl on the outside, but she is indeed an experienced veteran in boxing, so she is very trusting when she asks.

Okita's face was also quite serious, she bit her lip and thought for a long time, and then said to Seti:

"Seti-kun, can you demonstrate it again?"

"Yes." Sethi nodded, and did the same, still sliding forward with a left jab to a left sliding and a right punch.

After taking another closer look, Okita Ei.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he said happily: "I know!" ”

"Huh? Where's the reason? Seti was also shocked, and asked two steps forward.

"Wait a minute, I need to get a prop." After speaking, Okita Ei walked quickly towards the ring not far away with her tight calves.

Prop? Seti followed closely with her puzzled gaze.

Saw...

From the boxing targets, gloves and other objects scattered around the ring, Okita took out a... Rope?

The big red string seems to be a regular visitor to some of the bundle photo magazines.

What is the relationship between rope and boxing? Seti was confused and confused.

"I've been waiting for a long time." After Ai Okita approached quickly, she squatted down gently, put her little hand on Seti's ankle, and... Tie the rope to each end!

It's like a rope shackle.

"Uh... What's going on? Seti finally couldn't help but ask.

Okita raised her head, showed her little tiger teeth, and said with a smile, "This is a good method that my previous teacher taught me, which can effectively help practice footwork." ”

She then stood up, clapped her little hands, and said, "Okay, Seti-kun, you try again now, your problem should have been solved?" ”

Sethi: ???

Tie a rope and solve it?

I don't read much, don't lie to me.

Sethi continued to take a stand against the sandbag suspiciously, or slid forward with a jab and a left sliding straight punch.

And then......

That kind of sluggish influency is really completely gone!!

It's so amazing!

Seti's eyes widened in surprise, her mouth opening unconsciously, and her face was full of disbelief.

The problem that plagued him all afternoon was actually solved by such a small rope?

Seeing Seti's surprised appearance, Okita explained with a smile:

"Actually, when you perform footwork, whether you move your left foot first and your right heel is up; The right foot is still the first to move, the left heel is up, and the distance between the feet is always fixed.

"The advantage of this is that the center of gravity will not swing back and forth, so you don't need to control the center of gravity anymore... After all, in actual combat, these are things that are at a critical moment, but if you hesitate a little, it may directly lead to defeat.

"At the same time, the distance is fixed, which leads to the ability to form the most profound memory of the muscles through long-term training, so that the conversion of your footwork is really engraved in the instinct, and it is also for faster and smoother.

"I just found out that when you cast the desynchronization method, the distance between your steps is completely different, so the function of this string is to help you fix the distance."

After speaking, she also glanced at Seti with a little surprise, and sighed:

"But Seti-kun, you're really powerful, usually if you change someone else, you have to be beaten by the rope for a long time to find the feeling... Like me at the beginning, I even tied the rope for almost half a month.

"But you found it all at once, and the step transition just now was perfect, which means that even without this rope, you will definitely be able to completely smooth the footwork transition in no time."

Seti tried it several more times, with many kinds of pace changes, and found that he had achieved such a small detail, that is, after fixing the distance between his feet and stabilizing his center of gravity, he really became fluent.

The puzzle that puzzled him was solved once and for all!

He no longer pretended to be cold, but sent to his heart and said to Okita Eyi:

"It's all teachers who teach well."

"Hee-hee!" Eii Okita smiled back with a lovely smile.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that it seemed that Ito Yumori was nothing remarkable!

She's not anxious at all!

Naturally, Seti didn't notice the change in her mentality, squatted down on the spot, untied the rope on her ankles, and chatted:

"Your boxing teaching is really good, do you plan to be a boxing coach in the future? A lovely female coach like you must be very popular. ”

Seti-kun actually praised me for being cute!!

Is this true?

Isn't this in a dream?

Ahhhh Ei Okita said quietly:

"Yes, in fact, I have wanted to be a boxing coach since I was a child, although I am not very good at physical fitness, and if I go to professional fights, I will definitely lose badly, but I have a lot of theoretical knowledge and experience, so the coaching profession is really suitable for me.

"I remember Seti-kun, aren't you also an employment party? Me too, when I graduate from high school, I should go straight back to work at the boxing club I run at home. ”

"Your family runs a boxing club?" Se asked.

"Uh-huh, otherwise how could I be a little girl who has been practicing boxing since she was a child, right?" Okita Ei's eyes were crooked, and it could be seen that she really liked boxing.

Seti had a bad feeling.

There aren't many boxing clubs in Nerima area.

Rhetorical question: "Your club... It can't be called an ice boxing club, right? ”

If yes... That's a bit of blood!

Fortunately, Okita Ei shook her little brain, her hair fluttered like a light veil, and replied:

"No, Ice Boxing Club, I know, it's the biggest boxing club in Nerima right now, and there are a lot of great boxers in it.

"I remember someone who even won the Tokyo heavyweight title before... It seems to be called Du Laisi, who is the vice president of their club. ”

As she spoke, she frowned:

"But the people in this club are very bad, and every year when our family accepts students, they will be secretly sabotaged by them, which is super annoying."

Seti interjected: "You don't have to worry too much, this ice boxing club should not have time to disgust you next." ”

"Yes, Seti-kun, how do you know?" Eii Okita was surprised:

"I just heard at noon today that the boxing champion Du Laisi I just mentioned, as well as his younger brother, seems to be called Oka Heben, who was killed by a mysterious person when he was playing black boxing!

"The Ice Boxing Club is absolutely devastated in its vitality, and in previous years, they have robbed a lot of students under the name of these two brothers.

"It's really relieving, that mysterious man can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, if I meet him, I will definitely thank him."

No thanks... You've given free lessons to the mystery man and helped him navigate the maze... Sethi replied:

"Yes, that mysterious man is really powerful, I heard that he is handsome, his fists are fierce, and he is still very young."

"Well, but, ah, Seti-kun, you are definitely no worse than him, your fists in training yesterday are also very powerful, if you make up for your footwork and go to the competition, I think you will definitely be as famous as that mysterious man."

Okita said intimately.

Burst... Inexplicably, I was looking forward to your expression when you knew that the mysterious person in your mouth was me... Seti couldn't help but think.
