Chapter 008: Remodeling

"I haven't eaten less meat in the past few days on the National Day, and I should have grown meat." He thought as he stood on the scale and weighed himself. 49.5 kg.

"Young man, less than 100 catties?!" Xiao Yanzhen asked in surprise.

"It's more than 1 pound more than when I first got home." Hatale busily explained. "I ate a lot, but I didn't absorb it well. Since childhood, I often have stomach and intestine colds, and I have a weak spleen and stomach. It's slightly better now. But even in the summer, you have to wear a vest to sleep at night, otherwise you will have diarrhea. ”

"You're so thin, not much better than someone with tuberculosis. If this had been us, I'm afraid you would have died a long time ago. Xiao Yanzhen said helplessly.

"There are times when we are on the march, and there is a pause but not a pause. If I didn't have a good body, I'm afraid I would have died outside. A good body is the premise of doing things. When I was alive, it wasn't a big problem to fight five or six ordinary people at a time. Xiao Yanzhen said confidently.

"I've got to train your body. Or don't you dare to drink with your body. Xiao Yanzhen said.

HT: Then I'll go to the gym and work out.

Xiao Yanzhen: Do you think you can go out of this room now?

Hettalo: That doesn't allow it, so let's stop practicing.

Xiao Yanzhen: Practicing kung fu is still not quite the same as the sports you are talking about. Practicing Kung Fu requires both stillness and movement. We can start with the most basic zama step. This is not difficult, and it is not limited by space.

HT: Is it a little too late for me to practice martial arts at my age?

Xiao Yanzhen: Zamabu is the foundation of all martial arts. Thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground. There is no distinction between young and old in martial arts, and it is okay at your age.

"It's hard at the beginning. When I was a kid, I didn't like to practice. But if I have been avoiding practice, it will be impossible for me to hold the official position of Mouke, and at best I can only be an ordinary soldier. In our Daliao, officers and soldiers have a very high social status, so my father taught me to practice martial arts since I was a child. It's hard work, but it really strengthens my body. The same is true for you today. Although the process is a bit painful, the result will definitely be beyond imagination. Xiao Yanzhen encouraged Hetale.

Pointing to the photo of a foreign fitness expert on his phone, he said, "This full of muscles is not something that people can train." ”

"Nothing to use. Don't be deceived by this kind of thing, it's just good-looking, it doesn't have any actual combat effect, and it's useless. The tiger's back is the standard for a man's strength. The old man said that a man must have a sense of strength. You are a man with such a thin waist, less than two feet, and he will break it when he exerts his strength. Xiao Yanzhen said.

Xiao Yanzhen: Okay. All right. Come, follow me silently and recite the mantra of Zama.

Stand naturally and breathe at a constant rate.

Feet spread apart, slightly wider than shoulders.

Make fists with both hands and place them at your waist.

Squat with bent legs and no knees over.

Keep your upper body straight and look ahead.

Hettal recited the mantra silently as he tied. Due to the poor strength of his legs, he couldn't hold on for less than a minute. "I can't stand it! I can't stand it! My legs are so sore that I can't stand! ”

"Take a break and try again." Xiao Yanzhen said.

To the surprise of Hetale, the second time was shorter than the first, and his legs were more sore. Beads of sweat were already forming on his head, and the muscles in his knees, thighs, and buttocks were as if something had melted them.

"Forget it. Never mind. Let's do this today! After the exercise, pat your leg muscles and relax. Xiao Yanzhen said.

Heita Le's heart refused at first, but under Xiao Yan's real insistence, Zamabu continued every day. Over time, the time of the Black Taleza's horse walk has also changed from short to long. From 1 minute at a time, gradually increase to 3 minutes and 5 minutes. This kind of effect also made Hattale feel more and more accomplished, and began to practice actively every day.

"Do you feel like your legs are getting stronger?" Xiao Yanzhen asked a little proudly.

"I didn't expect such a simple action to have such a magical effect." Hattale replied.

"It's about persistence. I think now we can move on to the second phase. I'm going to teach you a set of exercises called Chasing the Wind and Guarding the Hands of the Fist. Xiao Yanzhen said seriously.

"Originally, this was a practice passed down from generation to generation within the clan, and it must never be passed on to outsiders. But now, you have me, and I have you. You're half me. Xiao Yanzhen continued.

"Chasing the wind and guarding the hand fist, created by my Daliao Xiao clan, can not only strengthen the body, but also self-defense. This set of boxing techniques includes six categories: boxing, legs, footwork, leaning, wrestling, and qi. There are a lot of moves, I'm afraid you won't be able to remember, so let's teach you three commonly used moves first. Xiao Yanzhen said.

"The first form: the general beats the drum. Active Attack move. The arms are naturally extended, and the body rotates forward continuously and rapidly, and the arms are picked up with the inertia of the body rotation to increase the striking power of the fist. Since it is a rapid forward attack, the rotating arm must be coherent and there must be no space. This is a great way to defend yourself, especially against opponents who are shorter than you. Xiao Yanzhen demonstrated while talking.

Hattale looked surprised and asked, "Won't you get dizzy?" ”

Xiao Yanzhen didn't answer, and continued to explain the moves.

"The second type: chasing the wind and looking at the moon. Dodge flow moves. When fighting close to the opponent, use footwork, be flexible and fast, and attack around the side and back of the opponent's body, so that the opponent has no time to react, or stun the opponent and disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm. This move emphasizes physical flexibility and is suitable for tackling opponents with more strength and slower reflexes. ”

"The third type: Jiaolong out of the beach. Make full use of the strength of your waist and legs, and instantly rush forward, and knock your opponent into the air with the huge inertia of your body forward. At the same time of impact, use your big arms to protect your head and neck. It's a move that's so fast that your opponent doesn't have time to react, and it's very destructive. ”

"Let's teach these first. Too much to chew. These three formulas are sufficient. ”

"Three moves and that's it?" Hetale looked confused.

"I'm not afraid of a thousand tricks, I'm afraid of a trick. Art is fine, not more. Martial arts students should not be greedy for learning more moves and routines, and have no time to train and reflect. The art lies in the fine, and the fine rule is all the way. Martial arts training should be gradual and lay a good foundation, and we should not rush to achieve success. Xiao Yanzhen explained.

"I said that practicing boxing is about 'knowing, right, skillful, wonderful, and absolute'. Yes, that is, you have to follow the example of others first, and write down the routine, which is the simplest and most basic. Yes, it is on the basis of the meeting, and the practice of one move and one style is standardized, even standardized, and in line with the rules. Skillfulness is to achieve the degree that practice makes perfect and use freely on the basis of a lot of practice on the basis of the right. As the saying goes, punch a thousand times, and the body is natural. Clever is wonderful, good is better, is wonderful. It is difficult for ordinary people to reach the wonderful state in their whole life. At least, I can't. If you can achieve the wonderful, you are already a master. And the last one, that is, unparalleled. ”

"When practicing boxing, you must relax your body, there is a feeling that when you hit a move, the flesh on your body will fall off or fly out." Flesh and blood separation', yes, that's what it feels like. Each move uses its weight and the power of the ground bounce to push the punch. You can't just rely on your hands and feet to punch, you should use the belt spine, the force on the waist, and the waist and hips to drive the fists and feet. If you don't move your waist, it's a stiff hand. You don't need a waist to take a step, that's a dead step. ”

"When practicing, you should also pay attention to practicing breath. Beginner training, advanced Qi training. Practice qi, with the abdomen rather than the chest, inhale slowly, and inhale the qi deeper into the body. Breathing and moves cooperate with each other, so that every move and style has a sense of qi and maintains a certain rhythm. After the exercise, the body will not only not feel tired, but will be refreshed. ”

"Finally, you must be reminded that martial arts must be practiced with martial virtues. Unless you need to fight desperately in special circumstances, we must follow the rules of 'eight dozens' and 'eight don't fight'. ”

Xiao Yanzhen took care of himself and recited, "A dozen eyebrows and eyes, not the sun." Two dozen lips in the middle of the person, not in the middle of the throat. Three dozen pierced the cheek and ear doors, not the two walls of the center. Four dozen back bone seams, not two ribs Tai Chi. Five dozen ribs in the heart, do not hit the bottom of the sea to tease the yin. Six dozen tease yin and high bones, and do not hit the two kidneys to the heart. Seven dozen crane knee tiger bones, do not hit the tail Lu Fengfu. Eight break the bones and daughters, and don't fan the wind in two ears. ”

Under Xiao Yanzhen's teaching, Hetale insisted on practicing every day, and his body became stronger day by day.

At the beginning, He Limei and his wife saw Heita Le practicing martial arts at home through video surveillance, and they felt a little strange and nervous for a while. Hetale explained that it was a new kind of aerobics that had recently become popular on the Internet, which prevaricated the past. Later, He Limei and his wife were not surprised. Seeing the enthusiasm of Hetale fitness, Hei Dad Hai Limin also planned to buy him a sandbag to play at home. However, it was still vetoed by He Limei on the grounds that it was easy to hurt her wrist. Even so, seeing that her son was full of energy day by day and his complexion was getting better and better, He Limei still acquiesced to all this.

Every morning, when the sky is faintly bright and the east is still a pale brown color, Hetale has already gotten up and started to practice zama walking. He moved very lightly, for fear of waking his parents. After a long period of practice, Hetale gradually entered a state of flow in which body and mind are one, as if he could not feel the soreness of his legs, nor could he feel the passage of time, as if his body was suspended between heaven and earth, and as if he was heaven and earth.

After 100 days of training, it seems that he has changed as a person. The 'ribs' on my body are wrapped in muscles little by little, and my body has become more and more energetic as I practice, and I have become more and more athletic, and I have more conversations and exchanges with my parents, and my personality has become more cheerful. Not only that, but the strong muscles and healthy physique also made Hattale get out of the haze of low self-esteem, become more confident and more resolute.

Xiao Yanzhen used his unremitting supervision and teaching to make Hetale realize that people's bodies and spirits can be reshaped.
