Kung Fu Way: Point of No End

Chapter 7 Three kinds of training methods, literary training, martial training and horizontal training

It was early in the morning on July 9th, Su Jie woke up at only three o'clock in the morning.

He went to bed at nine o'clock last night. As soon as he got into bed, he began to sleep with the five-horse dismemberment method taught by Odley. Gradually, he entered a very peaceful state.

Although he only slept for six hours, he was more energetic than the usual ten hours.

When he got up, Su Jie felt refreshed.

He quickly washed up, and came to Odeli's small courtyard outside the school.

Oudley seemed to have known that he would come a long time ago, so he moved a grand master's chair, and sat in the small courtyard, watching the clear clouds and wind in the sky. In the early morning of summer, it is actually very comfortable, the breeze blows gently, and it is extremely cool, and no insect repellent has been sprayed inside or outside the courtyard here, and not even half a mosquito can be seen.

"Here it is, I woke up earlier than I expected." There seemed to be surprise in Odley's eyes: "I should have slept well last night."

"I slept so soundly." Su Jie felt that his whole body was full of energy: "Coach, what are you going to teach me today?"

"Teach you a joint exercise first." Odley stood up and did a few moves: "Before training, the most important thing is to warm up, and during the warm-up, the joints are the most important. Among the joints, the knee joint, The wrist joint is the most fragile and easily damaged in the human body, so it must be protected and strengthened at the same time. Boxers always wrap their wrists to prevent the wrist joint from being damaged when punching sandbags. Impact. At the same time, you should also wear knee pads. Of course, it is best to apply medicinal oils that relax muscles and activate collaterals when doing joint exercises. The various medicines of Minglun Martial Arts School are still very good."

Su Jie followed Odeli to do joint exercises.

This joint exercise is very soothing, peaceful, and slow movement, somewhat similar to Tai Chi.

"Coach, is this a new style of Taijiquan?" Su Jie started exercising, and gradually his whole body began to heat up, especially some joints, which felt very comfortable, and his cerebral cortex produced a feeling of excitement.

"The biggest benefit of all sports is that it can produce dopamine and endorphins in the human body. Dopamine is a substance that makes people excited and fulfills wishes. Endorphins are painkillers. Among them, dopamine is the most important , This substance can improve the endocrine of the human body, making people in an extremely happy state all the time. It can treat various mental diseases such as depression and anxiety. Therefore, exercise is the highest decompression method.” Ou Deli said: "And I have studied all the sports. Tai Chi's slow and continuous aerobic rhythmic exercise produces the most dopamine among all sports, so people who practice Tai Chi will feel very comfortable. Over time, a kind of blind self-confidence will be produced in the cerebral cortex, thinking that one is invincible. This is beneficial to the body and mind, but it will also create an illusion that many Tai Chi masters really fight, but are One of the reasons for beating, in fact, this kind of mistake is called delusion in the practice of Zen, and only by breaking through this layer of delusion and knowing the real self can one step into a new realm." Odeli taught Su Jie a class .

"So that's how it is." Su Jie suddenly realized, "Since I learned the trick of digging and hoeing, I practiced day and night and felt that I was very good at fighting, but I was still beaten by Joss. Is this the reason? The cerebral cortex is because Exercising produces a lot of dopamine, which creates an illusion of omnipotence. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Of course it's a good thing. You can get excited and enter the state so quickly, which shows that you are very talented in sports. Many people are more tired after exercising, which leads to the feeling of slack, and you are addicted to exercise. This is aptitude and comprehension." Ou Deli saw that Su Jie learned this set of joint exercises very quickly, and was even more happy: "This set of joint exercises is my combination of modern combat sports system, plus traditional Chinese martial arts, especially the Yi Jin Jing of Shaolin Temple , as well as Wu Qin Xi, Taijiquan, and yoga movements, which are obtained through calculation." Odeley said: "Actually, traditional Chinese martial arts,

According to their movement rules, the dopamine produced is simply unmatched by other sports. "

"Coach, I'm very excited now." After exercising for a full hour, it's just a soothing exercise, which is similar to the old men and women in the park doing Tai Chi, but Su Jie felt that he seemed to be able to kill a tiger, and his cerebral cortex seemed to be mobilized up.

"That's right, this is the warm-up." Oudley nodded: "When your brain is excited by exercise, that's when the warm-up stops, and then, the real martial arts and horizontal exercises will begin."

"Wu Lian? Heng Lian?" Su Jie heard this word for the first time.

"Practicing martial arts is divided into three kinds of practice methods, namely Wen Lian, Wu Lian, and Heng Lian. The so-called Wen Lian is mainly about nourishing, stretching muscles and bones, such as meditation, meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, and various other methods. Martial arts routine exercises belong to Wenlian. Wenlian is very comfortable and easy to learn. It is suitable for everyone to exercise. Wushu is about lifting weights, hitting sandbags, running wildly, kicking targets, and various irons to strengthen the muscles and bones. And Horizontal training is the most cruel. The first is to fight with people, the real combat, and the second is to use various cruel methods, such as sticks and volleys, to strengthen one's endurance and muscles, but this is only suitable for young people Come to practice, if you are over thirty years old, accidents will happen, and in the process of practicing, you must pay attention to the severity, if you are not careful, you will be disabled. In addition, nutrition and medicine must not be lacking. Otherwise, you will also Stay behind and hurt. This kind of horizontal training is the fastest, such as Muay Thai, ancient Japanese karate, traditional Chinese Pai Da Qigong, iron sand palm, iron finger Kung Fu, hard qigong, etc. Now there are some top-notch ones who can do horizontal training Combat athletes, as well as soldiers who specialize in special missions in the armies of various countries. Of course, I have mastered the most scientific method of horizontal training."

Having said that, Oudley paused for a moment, and only then did he have an expression on his face like an animal trainer: "The next training will be cruel, even cruel. If you can't bear it, you can quit. But I won't teach you anything in the future. Think for yourself."

"I am willing to accept." Su Jie agreed without thinking about it.

"There's a hoe over there, go get it." Odley pointed to the side.

Su Jie quickly took the hoe in his hand, and stood up according to the posture of standing on the pile yesterday, holding the hoe in the middle, as if it was not rising, but not falling.

Yesterday I was standing empty-handed, but now holding a hoe, it is very difficult.

But these days of practice made Su Jie grow some muscles.

He dug the soil for several days, and then ate and drank with Joss.

"Stand up, put your head up, it seems that someone is pulling your hair up, and your buttocks are falling, as if you are sitting on a piece of red-hot iron, it is very hot, you want to keep jumping, your feet are rooted, like a big tree. Go deep into the soil, the deeper you go, the less likely you will be blown down by the wind. Imagine yourself as a tiger with prey in front of you, accumulating strength, and ready for a fatal blow at any time. If you miss it, you will starve... …”

After standing on the stake, Odeli kept pointing.

Then, he took a rubber stick in his hand.

Snapped!

Suddenly, it hit Su Jie's calf.

Su Jie couldn't help but let out a muffled snort, and hastened to reach this point with all his strength, only to relieve the pain a little.

Crackling!

Ode used the rubber stick to beat Su Jie's body continuously. After a while, Su Jie was covered with bruises and severe pain. He couldn't bear it at all, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

"Move now." Odley said, "Attack me with a hoe."

"Okay." Su Jie used that move to dig the ground and turn over the soil, attacking fiercely, digging down hard with the hoe, using all his strength.

But Ou Deli's movement was too fast, no matter how hard Su Jie tried, he couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes.

Every time Su Jie attacked, he was hit by the rubber stick.

Several times, Su Jie didn't want to practice anymore, it was too bitter and tiring, he wanted to drop the hoe and give up, but a kind of perseverance in his bones made him persist.

"Stop!" Just when Su Jie felt that he was about to pass out, Odley yelled to stop, and spread active oil on the part of his body that was drawn, and then began to massage.

During the massage, it was like being torn apart by a knife.

However, after half an hour of Odley's massage, the bruises on his body faded a lot.

"Where my hand massages, that part of your body will stimulate energy and relieve your pain. This is the secret of horizontal training. The so-called luck resists blows. The reason is very simple. It is just that the mind controls a certain part of the body to make it tense." Odley said: "You have to pay attention all the time, when anything touches a certain part of your body, that part will be highly tense, and it will move immediately when the wind blows, this is what is said in the ancient boxing manual A feather cannot be added, and a fly cannot fall. It is also called responsiveness. When I hit you, I want to train you to have this feeling, and to increase the sensitivity and resistance of your whole body, and at the same time hit your body The place is where some neurons are sensitive. Remember, when you practice with others, you must not train like this, because others don’t know the severity, and they will easily hurt you. Only me, as a world-class Only top fighting coaches can control this kind of strength."

Odley's beating method is also very scientific, and it seems to increase a certain circulation function of the body.

"Okay, let's have breakfast now."

Odeli brought Su Jie to the kitchen. There were warm porridge, steamed buns, milk, eggs, and several plates of fruit, jam, fish, etc., which were very rich.

Su Jie was already very hungry, it seemed that he could even eat a cow.

However, he still chewed slowly.

After eating, he rubbed many acupoints on his stomach according to Odley's digestion method, swallowed his saliva, and after half an hour, he was full of energy again.

"Now start doing strength and body training." Odley said: "Cale raises, plank support, rope skipping, push-ups, abdominal crunches, kicks, ligament compression..."

As soon as Su Jie heard it, he knew that this was also cruel training, which belonged to martial arts.

Doing joint exercises in the morning is Wen Lian, and then Ode uses rubber sticks to slap his whole body, which is Heng Lian. The next step is martial arts training, training for explosive power and physical strength.

After the whole morning, Su Jie practiced from 3:00 am to 6:00 am, and then rushed back to school, just in time for Gu Yang's training.
