Chapter 251, Learning Martial Arts

This year is a lot more than in previous years, and after the busyness, it has entered July.

"There will be an exam in a few days, Chang'an, how about teaching you martial arts during the holidays?" asked Li Yuanshan in the morning.

"I followed Brother Xiaohai, and they also learned martial arts. Chang'an said. He gestured a few times.

Li Yuanshan shook his head and smiled: "They themselves have just learned a trick, what can you learn from them? But if you want to learn martial arts well, you must be prepared to endure hardships." You have to persist in practicing martial arts for a long time, but you can't fish for three days and dry your nets for two days. Of course, with Dad here, he won't just watch you suffer. ”

A few days passed, and the Chang'an exam was over. The next day, Li Yuanshan officially took Chang'an to learn martial arts.

As soon as it was dawn in the morning, Li Yuanshan got up to wake up Chang'an, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and then began to warm up - running.

"From today onwards, we will get up in the morning and run first, and now at the beginning, you are still young, we can run to the opposite pass. While teaching Chang'an to move his body, Li Yuanshan said.

"Dad, aren't you learning martial arts, why are you still running?" Chang'an asked. This is not in line with his impression of learning martial arts.

"Running is an exercise and can also be counted as part of martial arts training. Li Yuanshan said, "When I get to the opposite pass, I will start how to practice." ”

As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he met Yang Guangli and several old men, and Zhai Fanghong said while coming out: "Yo! Yuanshan, I haven't seen you get up so early for many years!"

"I'm not teaching An to learn martial arts, but I don't have to get up early. Li Yuanshan said with a smile, "In the future, I will have to get up early every day." ”

"It's best to wake up early. Yang Guangli said, "In the future, I will supervise the practice of the little children in the village." It doesn't require them to be very powerful, they can subdue the gangsters, as long as they can exercise their bodies and run away in case of emergencies. ”

"Okay, as long as they come, I'll teach them too. After saying a few words, Li Yuanshan took Chang'an to run slowly, pointing out Chang'an's running movements and breathing rhythm while running.

At the pass, Chang'an has adapted to it. Li Yuanshan said: "Isn't it much easier to run like this? After running, you can't just sit down and rest, but walk slowly for a while. ”

After walking slowly on the pass for a while, Chang'an's breathing slowed down, and the first thing to teach was to stand on the pile.

Standing piles, whether it is practicing internal skills, inner boxing or external boxing, are all there, but they have different biases and different degrees of attention. Throughout the hundreds of years of martial arts, the most important thing to stand piles is the inner boxing school, and people who practice martial arts have been practicing standing piles all their lives. The second is the external boxing, that is, the external strength, after all, they rely on their physical strength when fighting, and it is very important to stand firm, so there is a lot of practice. The least important thing is the internal strength school, they stand on the pile just to cultivate the sense of qi, and give up after practicing internal strength.

"Let's stand on the stake first, and standing on the stake is also called squatting horse step. When we were riding horses, I told you that the riding body should rise and fall with the horse's running, and the same is true for this squatting step, you have to adjust slowly when you squat, it feels like riding on horseback. ”

Chang'an squatted up according to Li Yuanshan's appearance, and then Li Yuanshan began to point: "Feet are a little apart, don't you feel a little awkward?" said and reached out to move his feet to the appropriate position.

"The butt is a little lower, and the legs are not strong. As he spoke, he raised his ass a little higher.

"You can't straighten your waist, you have to lean forward a little bit. Li Yuanshan continued to instruct, "Standing on the pile is to integrate the body, so that the body is twisted into a force, the waist is straight, and the standing is unstable, how to twist into a force?"

After the posture was correct, Li Yuanshan said: "Okay, now I think you are riding a horse, and your body is undulating with the horse." ”

Chang'an tried to exert himself, and his body began to rise and fall.

After standing for three minutes, Li Yuanshan saw that Chang'an was a little uncomfortable, so he said, "Okay, you can stop, take a walk." ”

"Dad, how long do you have to squat?" Chang An asked.

"It's a bit long. Li Yuanshan smiled, "I won't tell you now, and when you can stop, Dad will inform you." "If you tell him now that you have to squat for at least twenty years, it won't discourage him!

Chang'an moved for a while, and after the feeling of weakness in his legs disappeared, Li Yuanshan began to teach him to learn moves. The martial arts learned are the Xuanyuan Dao Boxing after Li Yuanshan and the two of them summarized and modified.

As for why he taught Xuanyuan Dao Boxing first, it was the result of Li Yuanshan and Jiang Mingyue's discussion. First of all, Chang'an is too small, and he will definitely not be able to sit still in his cultivation of internal strength, and his progress will be very slow. Second, now that the environment is polluted, Chang'an can cultivate normally when he is in the village, and if he goes to junior high school in the town, he can barely do it, but it is difficult to progress in high school and college. The third and most important reason is that the internal strength has declined due to the blows of the imperial court, environmental changes that make it difficult to cultivate, and so on, and has long been lost. Chang'an was too young to keep it a secret. Over the years, qigong liars have been so arrogant, causing countless people to go crazy, and they have leaked the secret of internal strength.

Therefore, the two plan to let Chang'an practice internal boxing, with the help of two people, they can also open up the meridians and cultivate internal strength when they become adults, which is not only safe, but also faster.

Li Yuanshan fought it first, and then began to teach the first move.

Xuanyuan Dao Boxing is the practice of internal boxing, and at the same time, people who practice internal strength can also practice both, and Taijiquan is the same kind of martial arts, all pay more attention to internal training, and the guidance is its foundation, and the martial arts truth contained in it is its essence. Because of this, the movements are simple and soothing, ordinary, without the slightest strangeness, Chang'an learns quickly.

After teaching the three moves of Chang'an, today's martial arts learning ended, and Li Yuanshan said, "Okay, that's all for today." Let's go, go home, your mother is afraid that she has already made breakfast and is waiting for us. ”

While walking, Chang'an asked, "Dad, will you be like this every day in the future?"

"It will slowly increase in the future. However, that's after you've mastered the martial arts you've taught today. Li Yuanshan said, "You have to learn martial arts step by step, and you can't become a fat man by eating one bite." ”

The next day, in addition to going to high school and still making up classes, the children of elementary and junior high schools came, Li Yuanshan took a group of children of all sizes to run, and also pointed out the movements and breathing rhythm first. The older children ran faster, the younger children ran slower, and ran in three teams.

When he arrived at the pass, Li Yuanshan said: "Those above the third grade will go to the primary school and come back." Those in junior high school run to elementary school and back again. Slow down, don't run like a dog, that's all you need to do now. ”

The older children in front ran by, and finally a few small ones in Chang'an went up to the pass and began to walk slowly.

After running and resting for a while, squatting and walking, the older children have squatted and done a good job. Li Yuanshan pointed out the inaccuracies that were not very accurate, and only taught a few small ones.

Li Yuanshan said while inspecting: "Squatting can increase the strength of the legs. ”

"In addition, the squatting step is also adjusting the body, making you more familiar with your body and enhancing the coordination of the body. Li Yuanshan continued, "Of course, if the strength of the two sides is about the same during the fight, and they still stick to their horses from beginning to end, they are also stupid." It is said that fighting is steady, accurate and ruthless, so the body must move quickly, shoot quickly, and the speed is fast, and the important thing is body coordination. ”

"Squatting increases leg strength and body coordination, both of which can be achieved in other ways. However, these two things are only side effects, and the most important thing in squatting is to practice qi. The so-called internal training of a breath, external training of muscles and bones, this training is the essence of squatting horse steps. Okay, you little ones can stop and move your body. ”

When Xiaoxian heard Li Yuanshan talk about practicing qi, his eyes lit up, and he asked: "Is practicing qi the same as the internal skills on TV, and after practice, you can use light skills to fly the eaves and walk the wall?"

"Hehe! You're thinking too much. Li Yuanshan said with a smile, "You have all watched "Hero Huo Yuanjia", right? Huo Yuanjia practices internal boxing, if anyone of you can practice to the depths of the essence, it will be similar to him. As for him jumping two feet high, that's fake, TV series, it's normal to exaggerate. Moreover, now is the era of peace, no matter how high the martial arts are, what is the use? The internal practice of Neijiaquan is basically imaginary, and it cannot be felt like the internal strength in martial arts, and it can also be used to heal injuries. ”

Internal strength is not something that everyone can practice, in the past, there were not many disciples in all factions of martial arts, and there were even fewer masters, with the current global environment, without Li Yuanshan's help, even if the magic cheats were in front of them, they would not be able to practice internal strength. Since it is no longer suitable for practicing internal strength, there is no need to take it out, and the combat effectiveness of internal strength is not stronger than that of internal boxing.

After squatting and moving your body, start teaching boxing.

Xiao Xian said as he did it: "This slow swallow is not powerful." ”

"Hehe! This is the practice method, as for the fighting style, it is the kind you used to practice. Li Yuanshan said, "The practice method is different from the fighting method, and the practice method is to increase strength and enhance physical fitness." If you don't practice martial arts, you will be empty when you get old. I only practice the way of playing, and no matter how long I practice, it is only better than ordinary people. ”

"It's not just internal boxing, but also external boxing or external skills. Through the practice of inner boxing, sometimes combined with medicated baths and the like to improve physical fitness. The external power is to hit the body with sticks, hit sandbags and planks to enhance the body's ability to resist blows and attack power, and some will also cooperate with drugs, such as the iron sand palm in the TV series. However, the damage to the body is too great for practicing external skills, although the combat effectiveness can be improved rapidly, and even more powerful than the inner boxing, but because of the serious physical injury, it is easy to get injured when you are older. Li Yuanshan continued, "So to sum it up, I will teach you to practice internal boxing." ”

After teaching the three moves, and then practicing them a few more times, the children are done after they have memorized the moves, and they go home for breakfast.
