Start the liver experience with push-ups

It was a chilly winter morning.

The sky was dimly lit, making it hard to see the dark surroundings in the distance.

Riverside Park, fitness area.

A bare-chested figure hung from a two-meter-eight high horizontal bar.

With a whoosh, he continuously performed pull-ups.

His posture was relaxed and natural, his movements perfect, worthy of a full score.

When pulling up over the bar, the muscle groups of his shoulders and back seemed to flow and knot together.

As his body descended, the extremely tense lines slowly relaxed, regaining their distinct contours.

Each movement revealed the pleasant ache and the sense of increasing strength in his muscles.

Gradually, the sweat flowing from his body turned into visible white vapor, constantly rising.

“Hoo————”

Fang Cheng exhaled deeply, released his hands, and jumped down from the horizontal bar.

At this moment, his whole body was steaming with heat, his face as red as if he had just stepped out of a sauna.

After taking off his clothes, his physique no longer appeared as refined and gentle as his appearance suggested, but rather exceptionally strong and robust.

Especially the muscle lines on his back, meticulously sculpted like a work of art, displaying a masculine beauty unique to men.

Pull-ups mainly train the inverted triangle area of the back.

In addition to strengthening core strength, they can also stretch the spine, making the body more upright and tall.

In the dim light, several lines of information appeared in the air, dazzling like the morning sun piercing through the darkness.

[Congratulations, through unremitting efforts, your skill has reached the expert level]

[Pull-ups lv1 (0/250)]

[Received skill enhancement reward, 6 free attributes]

“Another skill breakthrough completed…”

Fang Cheng looked at the dazzling light screen in front of him, his eyes revealing a hint of relief.

Each panel notification of skill upgrades, no matter how small, was the best reward for his perseverance.

Looking at the 6 free attributes added to his character panel, Fang Cheng thought for a moment, generally considering two strategies for allocating them.

Either continue to primarily increase constitution, and secondarily increase strength and agility.

Or add all 6 points to strength or agility at once.

In order to achieve a breakthrough of the third attribute past the 20-point mark as soon as possible, resulting in a qualitative change.

After weighing the options for a moment, Fang Cheng made a decision.

With a slight thought, the value in the strength column instantly rolled upwards rapidly.

In an instant, the various attributes of the character panel were updated.

[Strength: 18]

[Agility: 12]

[Constitution: 20]

[Spirit: 20]

Feeling the power surging in his body as if with the flow of blood, Fang Cheng exhaled a breath of hot air.

Occasionally, the sound of a car or ship horn could be heard.

At this moment, a few scattered figures had already begun to jog in the park for their morning exercise.

Fang Cheng walked to a flat and open lawn near the riverbank.

He took off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the ground, the soles of his feet touching each other, and held his feet with both hands.

In this position, he kept his legs horizontal and close to the ground.

After about a minute, he changed to a kneeling position, one leg bent and the other straight, raising his hands above his head.

This was to stretch the ligaments of his legs, arms, and waist.

Basic Jiu-Jitsu training mainly includes four aspects.

Footwork training, strength training, body flexibility training, and jumping and rolling training.

Fang Cheng already had a solid foundation in footwork and strength, and he persisted in exercising every day, so he didn’t need special practice.

The main thing was that his body flexibility still needed to be improved, as well as mastering various jumping and falling techniques.

Fang Cheng first practiced various yoga-like movements to stretch his ligaments.

When he felt that his body was completely stretched out, and his limbs were as elastic as rubber bands.

He then began to train the falling techniques in Jiu-Jitsu, also known as "ukemi."

The basic skills include forward rolls, backward rolls, side rolls, and cartwheel falls.

To increase the difficulty further, there are some somersaults and handstand movements.

The main purpose of training these falling techniques is to reduce the impact on oneself and protect oneself when subjected to the enemy's full attack.

The principle is to use inertia to adjust the posture during the fall, and to resolve and transfer external impacts on the body by making circular movements with the body.

If it were in a fighting game, it would be to instantly restore the character to a controllable state in the hit-stun state caused by the enemy's moves, quickly escape the attack range, and avoid being subjected to continuous combos.

This is not only a self-protection technique, but also a way to turn passivity into initiative and regain a favorable position.

On the competition field, many Jiu-Jitsu practitioners will even choose to fall to the ground actively, dragging their opponents to the ground with them.

Then, they use their most proficient, suffocating or joint-twisting techniques to subdue their opponents.

As the saying goes, "pin to win."

This is also the biggest feature that distinguishes Jiu-Jitsu from other martial arts styles.

After practicing the falling techniques, Fang Cheng continued to train some special techniques for moving the body position on the ground.

Such as shrimp walks, reverse shrimp walks, crab walks, etc.

These are not only movements that can be used in actual combat, but also specialized training involving body flexibility.

After nearly a week of sparring work.

Fang Cheng accumulated a lot of practical experience, and also learned many unique training techniques from various fighting styles.

In addition, he absorbed a wealth of knowledge from watching videos.

He can now be called a junior martial arts theorist.

A round red sun passed through the horizon between the high-rise buildings, illuminating the morning mist and causing it to dissipate quickly.

The river water was sparkling, rolling and surging.

Several white-feathered water birds leisurely spread their wings, gracefully stepping on the water and catching a small silver fish.

Fang Cheng finished a set of training, sat on the lawn, and looked into the distance.

He vaguely had some insights.

The core concept of Jiu-Jitsu is not to abandon everything of oneself and fight to the death.

But to follow the trend, with a detached composure as if facing death as life.

In addition to having sufficient physical fitness, one must also overcome powerful enemies mentally.

Only in this way can one have a calm change when making a move.

Only then can one truly achieve the miraculous effect of using softness to overcome hardness, using weakness to overcome strength, and instantly countering the opponent…

While pondering, the sound of footsteps faintly rang around him.

A middle-aged man in sportswear ran panting in front of the lawn.

More and more people came to the park for morning exercise.

In the nearby viewing pavilion, there were also several old men gathered together, practicing a set of slow-paced Tai Chi.

The noise gradually increased, and Fang Cheng did not continue to exercise.

It was getting late, and although today was Saturday, it was still a working day for him.

“I believe… it shouldn’t be long before the Jiu-Jitsu skill is unlocked.”

Fang Cheng gathered his thoughts, then got up and left.

After running home, he bought a large bag of buns and soy milk from a breakfast stall downstairs, and then boiled ten eggs himself upstairs.

After a simple meal and finishing his morning self-study, he hurried to catch the No. 13 bus on time.

Twenty minutes later, he arrived at the club.

Fang Cheng clocked in, and before he could even enter the locker room, he was greeted by a shout.

“Ah Cheng, why are you coming to work today? Didn’t Shen Haoming notify you about Goro Majima’s matter?”

The speaker was Chen Xiaohai, who looked surprised.

“What’s the matter?”

Fang Cheng also looked at him in surprise, not knowing what he meant.
