186 [To talk about martial arts]

Therefore, if Mashao wants to gain a good reputation with lower risks, he must do something different.

In other words, he needs to initiate a reform in the field of fighting.

Now in 1848, boxing, as a traditional British martial art, is a well-known gangster industry, with barbaric forms, corrupt operations, and immature techniques.

This current situation is well known to everyone. Even those who love boxing the most have to admit that there are too many despicable things in this sport.

In other words, reform of combat sports is actually imminent.

Gideon said: "Every boxer's debut begins by challenging others. I can arrange coaches and opponents for you. As long as you continue to win challenges, you can become a boxing champion respected by everyone."

Ma Shao asked: "What kind of coach and opponent can you find for me?"

Gideon: "For a born king, the coach is not important. It just helps you become familiar with the rules. I can be your coach. The rules are very important, very important."

Ma Shao smiled: "But I heard that fouls are common in boxing matches."

"Indeed, but the rules are still very important." Gideon said, "A qualified boxer must know how to avoid fouling at the minimum and how to make the opponent commit more fouls than himself."

He added: "In many competitions, the winner is often not the one who is better at fighting, but the one who is better at using the rules."

Ma Shao suddenly said: "Why don't we establish a new set of rules?"

Gideon was stunned: "New rules?"

Ma Shao: "Everyone knows that the rules of boxing are full of loopholes, both on and off the stage. In this case, why don't we establish a more standardized and decent model to replace traditional boxing."

Gideon: "There are indeed some members of Congress who are advocating this. People who love boxing hope that it can become a decent sport...but this seems to have nothing to do with us."

Ma Shao said: "Compared to becoming the king under the existing rules, establishing new rules to replace them is the real honor."

"Gideon, if you think back to the history you know, you will find that the most outstanding heroes are always the creators of certain rules and morals."

John Gideon is a quite pure businessman, but this sentence still aroused some reverie and thoughtfulness in him.

After a while.

"What kind of rules are you going to establish?" he asked.

"These are the rules of Apache fighting skills." Ma Shao said.

Gideon didn't seem to understand: "What?"

"I am a Native American, which is what you white people call American Indians." Ma Shao said slowly, "Apache is the name of my tribe. Apache fighting, this fighting sport is more powerful than boxing.

Adapt to actual combat and pay more attention to martial ethics."

The word "Wude?" may have been originated by Mashao, so Gideon naturally couldn't understand it.

"About the morals of martial arts." Mashao explained, "For example, don't bully the weak, don't cheat, respect your opponents, and respect life."

"The martial arts of our Apaches focuses on martial ethics. We should pay attention to points and ends when sparring. Unnecessary bloodshed is not worth encouraging."

Gideon: "Okay, that sounds great, but how are you going to build it, or get people to accept it?"

Ma Shao: "Anything without actual combat is just showmanship. No matter what kind of martial arts, challenges are always essential... So, just like a boxer's debut, the debut of this set of rules should also be presented in the form of a challenge."

"Gideon, help me contact some famous boxers and ask them to challenge me - according to the rules of Apache Fighting. I will pay you."

Gideon hesitated: "Of course, I'm happy to do it. But I'm afraid the boxers may not be willing to participate in a game using unfamiliar rules unless you are also willing to pay them."

"That's right." Ma Shao nodded, "So in the next challenge, whoever defeats me will receive a bonus of five hundred pounds."

He was indeed a great nobleman, perhaps a rich chief, Gideon couldn't help but think.

Five hundred pounds is an astonishing amount. For most workers, it would take at least ten years without food or water to save it.

So much so that Gideon almost wanted to challenge the whistle: "Five hundred pounds, this is enough to make all the boxers in London want to try their hands. No, it should be all the men."

Ma Shao added: "Failure is not without cost. Those who fail in the challenge need to pay one pound - of course not to me, I don't need it. The money will be used as a charity and donated to the Irish victims of the Great Famine."

."

Gideon was startled, then realized what he was doing, and couldn't help but smile and said: "What a great idea, now no one will say that what we are doing is a barbaric activity!"

Mashao smiled and said: "Yes, we are going to hold a charity fund-raising event."

Although boxing matches are very popular in the UK and are very popular among traffickers and princes and nobles, boxing and even various fighting matches are still nominally illegal sports and may be stopped by the police.

Having a charity name can undoubtedly greatly reduce this risk, and it will also sound good when spoken out.

Ma Shao gave Gideon a sum of money as a reward and funding, asking him to help organize and contact boxers in London to participate in this nominal charity fundraiser.

The prize of five hundred pounds is still very attractive. In contrast, if you fail the challenge, you only need to pay one pound, and it is in the name of a charitable donation. It is not embarrassing. A shameless person can declare "I actually just want to donate."

.

So in the next few days, accepting challenges from London boxers became Mashao's daily life, and several boxers would compete with him every day.

In fact, the number of people who signed up is much higher than this, but it is impossible for the horse whistler to accept them all, at least they have to be somewhat famous boxers.

The results of the discussion were no surprise.

With physical fitness that is far beyond ordinary people and a fighting system that is ahead of its time, Mashao defeated all the boxers who came to challenge him, and most of the battles were easy, at least without injury. He also tried not to hurt his opponents as much as possible. It was indeed

Click till then.

London is the center of the world's boxing sport. The horse whistler set up a ring here and easily defeated a bunch of famous boxers in a row. The media reports naturally fermented quickly, and the news quickly spread throughout Britain.

Facts have proved that this thing has attracted much more attention than physics.

So when Joule came to London from Manchester, the first thing he said when he saw the horse whistle was half-joking: "I heard on the train that a God of War from Apache appeared in London. Should that person be?"

Could it be you?"
