The main practice of this class in front of me is a set of Liuhe sticks, which is a very basic stick routine, which is very common in many martial arts routine competitions. The coach who led the class was called Xie Qiying, a man in his thirties. He is of medium build, with bulging muscles under his body, and he looks very strong.

Taking advantage of the students' warm-up, Zou Youzhi introduced: "Teacher Xie has not been here for a long time, but he is already the most popular coach. He has won prizes in national competitions, with his best result being a fourth, just one step away from a medal. His stick technique is known for its dexterity and variety, and is very popular with students. ”

Xie Qiying politely arched his hand and said: "The principal has a good reputation, it was many years ago, and it was luck to play well at that time." The current batch of trainees is better than we were at that time, both in terms of physical fitness and training conditions, and I think there is a lot of potential for training. ”

Daniel Zhang nodded and smiled: "Equipment is an important category in traditional martial arts, and many freehand boxing techniques and exercises come from equipment. My brothers are mainly freehanded, and they don't know much about equipment, let alone actual combat, and I will thank the teacher for more guidance in the future. ”

Xie Qiying said modestly: "I heard the principal say that Brother Zhang is a first-class master of the actual combat school, and I don't dare to give advice in front of you." I also came from athletes, and I didn't have any actual combat experience at the beginning. Later, I practiced by myself, and I can't be a teacher in this regard. ”

Zou Youzhi was not polite and praised: "Teacher Xie is modest, others don't know about your situation, but I still know better." Although it is a stick rice that you dismantled yourself, it is already unique. Now there are very few athletes who can do this, and there are not many people who specialize in the stick cultivation method in the rivers and lakes. ”

Daniel Zhang smiled and patted Zhao Yunfei's shoulder and introduced: "Zhao Yunfei is practicing the dragon stick, which is somewhat different from the version circulating in the rivers and lakes, and you two can communicate more in the future." ”

Xie Qiying said in surprise: "Brother Zhao is also a master of stick techniques? That's really going to have a good discussion. ”

Zhao Yunfei scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Teacher Xie, I don't dare to call myself a master, even if I have practiced the stick method for a few days, I still practice according to the script, and I don't have any actual combat experience." ”

His stick method comes from the second half of Taizu's Changquan boxing book, which is a wheel stick handed down from ancient times. This stick method is completely different from the disc wheel stick that is circulated in modern society, and it is not a two-section stick method similar to the stick stick, but a stick method that was passed down from the ancient times for military generals to fight immediately.

This stick method is somewhat similar to the mace, but it is more dexterous and changeable than the mace, and it is a stick method that wins by skill. Zhao Yunfei has been practicing for almost a year, and Daniel Zhang has also taken the time to give him guidance. But when it comes to actual combat experience, Zhao Yunfei has almost zero experience, and he rarely uses a stick when he goes out to fight.

Xie Qiying nodded and smiled: "It's okay, wait for Brother Zhao to demonstrate to the students, and let everyone open their eyes." Everyone is a beginner, and it's good to learn from each other's strengths. ”

During the conversation, the warm-up exercise of the students in the class ended, and then Xie Qiying began his classroom teaching. Each of the students carried this long stick, and the distance between them was several meters, and the whole class covered half of the playground. Then they practiced one move at a time under Xie Qiying's command.

The students were full of life, and every move shouted slogans, which could be heard by the whole campus. They have a strong sense of rhythm and a special rhythm that sounds interesting. The crowd was immediately captivated by their demonstration and watched intently at their performance.

Liuhe stick is a more popular stick method in the north, and it is less taught in the south. It has the characteristics of rigorous structure, full strength, action quality, strong and fast, compact and strong technical attack, and it is a combination of sticks and guns in specific use, and it is a hidden gun in a stick, which is surprisingly successful.

The Liuhe stick taught by Xie Qiying is a basic version and is mainly used for the performance of traditional martial arts routines. He mainly taught the 12 basic movements of the stick method, including sealing, closing, picking, splitting, collapsing, teasing, piercing, pointing, sweeping, winding, hanging, and the 28 martial arts routines.

These are selected and created by modern martial arts sports associations, and are mainly used for competitive performances of martial arts routines. Ordinary martial arts team members do not teach the actual combat fighting methods of these routines, so most of the team members' stick skills are difficult to use in actual combat, and they do not have much advantage over ordinary people.

According to Zou Youzhi's introduction, although Xie Qiying is an athlete, he has explored some practical stick skills. Part of it was learned by him from the sports routines, and part of it was learned by his predecessors in the martial arts. Although it is not much, the actual performance is very good.

In a few minutes, the part of the student meeting was finished. Then Xie Qiying called out the one who took the lead, and began to teach the following moves hand in hand. He taught very seriously, and the leader learned very seriously, with every move and style, and he danced with a stick.

Among the people watching, only Zhao Yunfei specializes in practicing stick techniques, Daniel Zhang mainly practices swordsmanship, Jin Kai mainly practices dark weapons, and others, including Zou Youzhi, are mainly freehanded. They don't have much knowledge of stick methods, and Daniel Zhang is the most thorough understanding of the two lives.

Although Daniel Zhang does not practice stick method, he has fought many times with masters who use stick method in his previous life, and he is very experienced in corresponding to the stick method. He does not look at the stick method to see whether the stick man's moves are beautiful, but to look at it from the perspective of the enemy, analyze its offensive and defensive system, and evaluate the ability of actual combat.

In his opinion, the actual combat ability of this stick method is not high, and most of them are showy. Many of the moves look beautiful, especially the various stick flowers, which are dazzling. But this kind of move has almost no actual combat ability, the move is too big, and the flaws in the hand are too obvious, and it is very easy to be countered by a move.

This is also the huge defect of modern equipment martial arts, the actual combat is almost replaced by kinematics and aesthetic skills, and it is getting farther and farther away from the actual combat of cold weapons. Of course, in the war of modern society, cold weapons can rarely be used in actual combat, so the Jianghu sect does not care about this.

In the eyes of many schools, the boxing and leg methods of hand-to-hand combat can still make money in the ring, but there is no way out for the equipment competition. For the safety of the participants, the state has banned equipment competitions for many years. In addition to the routine performance, there are almost no more survival channels for those who practice equipment.

Many people who have good equipment practice go to work as stand-ins or action actors in film and television drama shooting, and they can only barely make ends meet. But this has seriously deviated from the essence of martial arts, and has become a typical flower fist embroidered legs. Daniel Zhang wants to revive traditional martial arts, and the equipment cannot be bypassed, and the flower fist embroidered legs cannot be had.
