Chapter 430
Among the participating teams, in addition to Hong Yihai, who played the "head of the sea god", the appearance of the Guangwu Guoshu Society also attracted people's attention, and even the audience in Singapore also gave warm applause to the disciples of the Guangwu Guoshu Society.
Although the service of the Guangwu Guoshu Society is neat and unified, it is not designed separately like other teams, with a tight and narrow white shirt, a wide crotch cage pants, and ordinary soft-soled cloth shoes on the feet.
The two flags of the Guangwu Guoshu Society are also eye-catching, one side reads "Nanyang Guangwu Guoshu Society", and the other side is "Recovering the lost land, I am martial arts".
These eight words are one of the "Five Tiger Generals" of the Northwest Army of China, the commander of the First Army, and the director of the Nanjing Central Guoshu Museum, Zhang Zhijiang, when he learned that the Singapore Wulin Chinese Association was organized to resist Japan, he specially wrote the words for them.
After all the teams entered the competition, Li Jiongcai, in his capacity as the Minister of Sports of the Singapore Government, delivered an opening speech for the competition, and after he finished a bunch of empty words that were useless in the eyes of the warriors, Nie Rongfei, chairman of the organizing committee of the competition, got up and announced the start of the competition.
After Nie Rongfei finished speaking, the team left the venue in turn, and some of the warm-up programs for the opening ceremony that had been prepared long ago also began.
It is said that when this project was first established, Lei Zhenhuan was opposed, but Li Jiongcai insisted on it, on the grounds that fitness qigong is an important part of Singapore's promotion of Chinese martial arts.
Of the more than a dozen teams in Hong Kong, only two teams signed up for the fitness qigong project, one was Wu Qingchuan's Suhe faction, and the other was Bai Donghai's dragon-shaped faction.
Suhe faction participated, because there is a set of "crane step gong", this set of exercises is not martial arts, but body and footwork, originally when Suhe sent a master to open a medical center, in order to help a patient who was injured in the fight with others, resulting in weakness of the lumbar spine and legs, the action is to recruit the crane to stand, spread its wings and fly, lead the neck to sing, and other habit characteristics, especially pay attention to one-legged standing, there is a virtual and real, the action is round, soft, soft, slow for steel, when doing the action, the whole body joints can be fully moved, and promote the internal qi to run around the body. Dredging the meridians moistens and harmonizes the qi, and is not limited by the venue, age, and time, which is regarded as a kind of health preservation technique.
The dragon-shaped school has its own unique qi refining and health maintenance kung fu, called "dragon opera" also known as "dragon-shaped nine styles", this set of kung fu in the practice of body movements at the same time, can also practice breathing and breathing, plus this set of kung fu movements round and compact, ups and downs, suitable for the elderly to learn after stretching muscles and bones.
In fact, although these two schools signed up to participate, but they are not sure about the martial champions, because of the fitness qigong, almost all of these teams in Singapore have signed up for it, Singapore has promoted fitness qigong, and even promoted fitness qigong to the public is better than Chinese martial arts.
In the past two years, all kinds of qigong and health preservation techniques have emerged from Singapore, and there are more than 90 affiliated associations of the Singapore Qigong Association alone, which shows that Singaporeans are obsessed with qigong.
"Wudang Health Gong", "Bagua Ruyi Gong", "Taoist Dust Twelve Styles", "Shaolin Zhengyang Gong" and other names sound bluffing, in fact, many so-called fitness qigong are promoted by the Singapore government, many martial arts halls in order to make money put together more than a dozen boxing movements suitable for ordinary people, crowned with a scary name to enroll, bluffing people who practice martial arts, but bluffing some ordinary people is no problem.
Lei Zhenhuan on the rostrum actually knew that the Hong Kong side did not intend to fight for fitness qigong at all, and all the referees of the fitness qigong project were from the Singapore Qigong Association, and those members of the Singapore Qigong Association were the founders of the above-mentioned bizarre qigong, and they all took the name of qigong masters to deceive.
After the opening ceremony, Huo Dongjun and his entourage left the venue and returned to the hotel, where they wanted to draw lots at four o'clock in the afternoon to assign the opponents for tomorrow's lion dance performance.
The lion dance performance, although it is different from the lion fighting, but there is also the action of climbing the pile to pick the green, which is nothing more than a competition for which martial arts hall has beautiful lion movements, which is amazing.
So sent the master Li Jianqing back to the hotel, Huo Dongjun took Da Chun Jiu and others to see Feng Zhong and Wei Kaixin, Zhan Chuanchun is the head coach of the Guangwu Guoshu Society, and naturally stayed in the gymnasium at this time to watch the performance of his own members in fitness qigong at the scene, but Feng Zhong and Wei Kaixin Fu Jiadong still taught the boxing skills of the members who did not participate in the competition in Lin Cuogang.
Huo Dongjun went to see Feng Zhong, mainly to find a training ground with a pile position so that a few juniors and disciples can familiarize themselves with the movements of lions, although they also practiced in Hong Kong on weekdays, but this week when they came to Singapore, limited to the venue problem, there has been no real lion dance.
"Pile position?" Hearing Huo Dongjun's intention, Feng Zhong scratched his head and said: "The Guangwu Guoshu Society has changed venues every once in a while, and now it has just been settled, and the pile has not been buried yet. ”
Huo Dongjun's eyes widened: "Then what practice do you rely on to practice the lion dance?"
"No, it's on the boat, I'll ask Jiadong to accompany you to the dock, and you'll know when you go. Feng Zhong called Fu Jiadong and asked him to take Huo Dongjun, Da Chun, Crazy Jiu and a junior brother named Yuan Zhiwei to the seawater dock where they parked their fishing boats.
When he arrived at the wharf, Fu Jiadong pointed to the thirty or forty fishing boats on the wharf and said, "When you practice the stakes, you will release the small sampans of these fishing boats and move back and forth on the thirty or forty sampans." ”
Huo Dongjun took a breath and looked at Fu Jiadong: "This is also what you came up with, Master Zhan?"
"No, it's the head of the previous generation, that is, our master came up with it, he is a fisherman, and most of the people in the Guangwu Guoshu Society are fishermen's children who don't have the money to go to the martial arts hall to apprentice, where do you have the money to buy a place to bury the pile, so when you want to contact the pile, you will put the sampan and go to the sea. ”
As he spoke, Fu Jiadong jumped onto the nearest fishing boat and said a few words to the fishermen on board, who quickly gathered dozens of fishing boat owners and lowered forty sampans to the surface.
The sampan is also known as the three planks in Singapore, as the name suggests, it is a small boat made of three wooden planks, which is a tool for fishermen to move between two nearby boats, ranging in size from two meters long to four or five meters long.
Even if he took the lion king once, Huo Dongjun scratched his head a little at this time, although the cloud climbing pile looked high and scary, but it was fixed, as long as the position of the pile was remembered, there was no possibility for a martial artist with kung fu to step on the air, but now these sampans on the sea will flutter with the waves, although at this time each sampan stood a fisherman, but the fishermen did not control the sampan, so they let the sampan drift on the sea, even if there was no wind and waves at this time, the sampan was still swinging.
"Won't you drown if you fall?" Da Chun also heard Fu Jiadong's words next to him, and said in a speechless manner.
Fu Jiadong smiled: "I just said that most of the members of the Guangwu Guoshu Society are children of fishermen, and some of them were even born at sea, and they have been able to water since they were young. ”
"They will, but I won't. Da Chun patted the crazy nine: "Do you know how to swim?"
Crazy Jiu shook his head: "I won't either." ”
"I want to try. Huo Dongjun looked at Fu Jiadong and said, "Master Fu, can I go down and walk by myself?"
"Of course you can, I'm bringing you here just to let you try it, and if you're proficient in this, there's no problem with the general high pile. Fu Jiadong put his hand to his mouth and shouted to the fishermen on the sampan: "Come over a sampan to pick up people, and the others hold the sampan and don't move, this is Ah Jun from Hong Kong, he wants to try to step on the sampan!"
A small sampan came to the shore under the manipulation of the fishermen, Huo Dongjun boarded the sampan, and the fishermen paddled a few times, and the sampan reached this sea space full of thirty or forty sampans.
Fu Jiadong didn't forget to let Huo Dongjun relax on the shore: "Ah Jun, don't be nervous, I've already told them, don't let the sampan move, you can rest assured." ”
If the sampan doesn't move, what is the difference between it and the stake? Huo Dongjun turned his head and shouted to Fu Jiadong: "Master Fu, please tell everyone, let them not have to stabilize the sampan, just let the sampan flutter at will." ”
Fu Jiadong was not polite, since Huo Dongjun asked, he motioned to the fisherman on the boat to let go of the oar in his hand and let the sampan flutter with the waves.
Huo Dongjun stood on the rickety sampan, took a deep breath, looked at the various colored sampans in front of him, kicked the bow of the boat hard, his body was like an eagle spreading its wings, crossing the deep blue sea, and landing steadily on another sampan two meters away from him, and the weight of his body smashed the sampan on the water surface and sank.
Wanting to take another breath and continue jumping, Fu Jiadong on the shore had already shouted again: "Ah Jun, you are too slow, hurry up, how can you breathe every time you climb the pile? If you dance the lion head so slowly, the lion's tail will already fall into the sea?"
Huo Dongjun was already a little speechless after listening to Fu Jiadong's words, this is the sea, the sampan under his feet is shaking, of course, he can only continue to get up after standing firmly, how can it be possible to jump freely on these sampans continuously and uninterrupted?
"I'll show you how. Fu Jiadong stood on the shore and took off his shoes, jumped directly on the nearest fishing boat, shuttled between several fishing boats, arrived near the sampan, and signaled the nearest sampan to lean over, Fu Jiadong took a deep breath, kicked the deck with both legs to exert force, the more towards the sampan, as soon as his feet fell on the sampan, the sampan sank down, and at the same time as the sampan floated, Fu Jiadong took advantage of the momentum and jumped to another sampan with a light movement.
In the blink of an eye, Fu Jiadong jumped more than a dozen sampans and stood in front of Huo Dongjun.
Seeing Huo Dongjun staring at him, Fu Jiadong asked, "What are you thinking?"
"I want to be quiet. Huo Dongjun said in a slightly weak tone.
