Chapter 34 It's time for a martial arts competition
Gym.
Lounge.
"Hey..., teacher, you've lost a lot of weight, but you look much better than before." Ding Ming was surprised.
"Really? It seems that practicing Changquan still has an effect. Mark laughed.
"It works. Teacher, I've been feeling really good lately. Ding Ming said with a smile.
"That's good. You usually exercise more when you have nothing to do, don't think too much and have too many distractions. Mark laughed.
"Okay. Teacher, I've already talked to Coach Wu, and he won't come to look for trouble. ”
"Mr. Ding, in fact, it was good for me to have a fight with Coach Wu. This will add popularity to the gym regardless of the outcome. Mark said casually. He is already kryptonite, and he urgently needs to find a rookie to abuse him. It doesn't have to be known to many people, but I still want to show it.
"That's right. Teacher, I appreciate your kindness, but you and Coach Wu are both about forty years old, and I don't want you to have any accidents because of the competition. Ding Ming said worriedly.
"There is no accident, he and I are both practitioners, and it is no problem to compete in sixty or seventy martial arts." Mark said casually.
"Teacher, I know you're in good health, but let's be careful and try not to compete." Ding Ming persuaded.
"It's all right, you see, if you need a competition, you don't have to help me push it off, your teacher and I still have two hits, and we can't easily lose." Mark laughed.
"Okay, teacher, you look much stronger than I am." Ding Ming said a little girlily.
...
"Everyone follow me and start warming up."
"Move your wrists, ankles, and hip joints first..."
"Practice martial arts with me, first style..."
Half an hour later.
"Alright, let's take a break."
Mark sat with a frown.
When I was practicing martial arts just now, half of the students had wrong expressions.
"Contempt."
"Yes, that's right, the cadets have some contempt for him."
"It must be because of Coach Wu's challenge. Although Ding Ming pressed down, it inevitably had an impact. ”
"I'm obviously a master, but I was challenged by a rookie, and I can't face it yet, and I am despised by my own students. It's also so infuriating. ”
"No, I can't. Uncle can bear it, aunt can't bear it, I have to find a way to prove my strength. ”
"What about the people who practice taekwondo, I'm going to challenge them."
Mark looked around and looked for it.
"No one. Ding Ming handled it neatly, and none of the people who practiced taekwondo came. ”
"What can I do?"
Mark was a little worried, he urgently needed to prove his strength.
At this moment, some people in practice clothes came to the gym, and the leader was a tall and strong man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
"Teacher, no, another gym has a martial arts training class." Ding Ming hurriedly walked over and said.
"They're here to challenge me?" Mark was eager to try.
"Definitely. This is a problem, teacher, or you should avoid it first. Ding Ming said urgently.
"No, I don't. I'm going to meet them. Mark laughed.
"Teacher, the leader is Sun Long, thirty years old, very difficult to mess with." Ding Ming said worriedly.
"Don't be afraid, you have to believe Teacher Ling." Mark smiled slightly and greeted him directly.
"Teacher, hey, you have to be careful." Ding Ming also followed.
Without waiting for someone to speak, Mark took the lead in speaking, "Sun Long, are you here to challenge me?" ”。
"Not bad. You are Master Ma, I am from the Dali Gym, and I also opened a traditional martial arts class, and I came today to learn from Master Ma. Sun Long said loudly. As soon as he said this, the people in the gym gathered around.
"Well said. Let's sign a disclaimer and then compete in the ring. Mark said happily. He looked eager to try, a little impatient.
"Oh? Master Ma is a cheerful person. Then sign a disclaimer. Sun Long was slightly stunned and said with a smile.
Behind him was a young man carrying a large bag.
The young man pulled out a few pieces of paper with a disclaimer on them.
Sun Long signed directly.
Ding Ming was a little anxious to watch from the sidelines, but he was helpless, Mark spoke too fast just now, everything was a foregone conclusion, and it was difficult to change.
"I'm well prepared, come on, sign it for me." Mark laughed. He signed neatly.
"Master Ma is a cheerful person, I'll just say it bluntly, it was Coach Wu from your gym who asked me to challenge. I won't bully you either, Master Ma is over forty years old, and his physical strength is not as good as that of young people, so we have one minute less time per round, and in addition, I can attack without legs. Sun Long laughed. He saw that Mark didn't dare to face the battle as Coach Wu said, and he looked happy, and felt that Mark was very temperamental, and he didn't hide anything, so he said it.
"It turned out to be Coach Wu, he must have misunderstood something, it's not that I don't agree to compete with him, I want to be more formal, at least sign a disclaimer or something." Mark laughed.
"That's how it should be, Master Ma is right." Sun Long nodded.
"Then let's start jousting." Mark laughed.
"Good. Horse coach please. Sun Long said loudly.
"Please." Mark laughed.
"Teacher, are you okay with this competition?" Ding Ming grabbed Mark and asked.
"It's fine. By the way, you ask the gym staff to maintain order, and you don't allow individuals to secretly take videos of our martial arts competitions without permission. We and the people at the Vigorous Gym can have a dedicated person to shoot, but it is not allowed to spread privately. Mark admonished.
"Okay, teacher, I'll arrange it right away." Ding Ming hurriedly responded. When the time came, he couldn't stop the competition.
Mark and Sun Long didn't go to the ring right away, they had to prepare first, change their clothes or something.
In the ring.
"Everyone, today's competition is not open to the public, please consciously put away your mobile phones, and you can't take videos and photos without permission, otherwise I will be held legally responsible." Ding Ming shouted.
He shouted in the ring, and the staff below also helped maintain order on the scene. Most people are more conscious, and only a few people think they are smart and want to take pictures secretly, but they are all stopped by the staff.
"Everyone, for the sake of fairness, our freshman gym and vigorous gym will have someone to shoot a video of the competition, please get out of the way." Ding Ming continued to shout.
As soon as he said this, some people who were dissatisfied just now suddenly had nothing to say.
A moment later.
Mark stepped into the ring first. He was wearing a traditional martial arts white practice uniform, with his chest and back, and he looked very heroic, but he was a little older.
Sun Long also followed into the ring. He was wearing a vest and big pants, a little bit like practicing traditional martial arts, but a bit like practicing sanda and boxing.
The gym has a special boxing coach named Yang Maolin. He served as a referee on an ad hoc basis.
"You two, you can't hit during the fight..., do you want to wear boxing gloves?" Yang Maolin asked after a few words.
"No need, we are traditional martial arts, not boxing." Mark said casually.
"Coach Ma, it's easy to get injured without gloves, it's better to wear them." Yang Maolin reminded. He and Mark have a good relationship, one more reminder.
"Look at him, I can do it all." Mark didn't care.
"Then put it on." Sun Long said. He was afraid that he would hurt Mark by mistake.
"Okay." Mark laughed. He felt that Sun Long was very wise, and if he wore gloves, Sun Long would at least not have to break a bone.
