#63 - The method of tempering one's will

Squeak—

The iron chains and supports emitted a harsh friction sound.

The 400-kilogram sandbag hanging in mid-air swayed constantly like a pendulum.

Fang Cheng stretched out his fists and assumed the classic tiger-stepping stance of Muay Thai.

With a shout, he thrust his hips, twisted his body, and kicked out diagonally with a powerful step.

Then he quickly retracted his leg.

He was currently practicing the signature leg technique of Muay Thai: the sweeping kick.

This stance has a higher center of gravity and leans slightly towards the rear leg.

It is beneficial for increasing the power of the kick and using the front knee for blocking, and the separation of the hands is also conducive to maintaining balance during the sweeping kick.

The sandbag in front of him was the largest in the entire gym, specifically used for practicing heavy leg kicks.

Currently, it seemed to be of good quality, and with the characteristics of the internal filling, there was no fear of kicking it apart.

Although Muay Thai gives people a "barbaric" impression, many combat techniques do have their unique aspects.

For example, the sweeping kick technique is extremely powerful and is often used to KO opponents in competitions.

Even if blocked by the opponent, it can still cause damage.

This is similar to the whip kick in Sanshou, but not entirely the same.

The Sanshou whip kick emphasizes "waist and horse as one," with the movement completed in one breath.

The force exertion time is short and rapid, and the burst is as crisp as cracking a "soft whip."

The Muay Thai sweeping kick, on the other hand, emphasizes driving the leg force through the rotation of the body's core.

The force exertion time is longer, relying on the inertia of the heavy leg to sweep and smash out like a "stick."

Therefore, the whip kick is relatively flexible and more suitable for quick-in and quick-out close-range encounters.

Like the situation when Fang Cheng fought the men in black.

The sweeping kick is more suitable for accumulating power and attacking from a longer distance, pursuing maximum lethality.

Such as fully kicking the sandbag like this now.

Fang Cheng practiced sweeping kicks for a while, and his understanding of this combat skill deepened.

The leg techniques in Muay Thai mainly use the shin to strike the opponent.

The human shin is very strong and has a relatively long length, making it very suitable as a "weapon."

But as the saying goes: "The sharpest steel knife breaks first," and it is very easy to fracture if you encounter a stronger opponent or kick the wrong part.

This situation occurs from time to time in competitions.

In order to pursue greater lethality, Muay Thai fighters often ignore the damage they suffer, giving it a Seven Injury Fist kind of feel.

However, it is precisely because of this characteristic of Muay Thai that it can perform so fiercely and be invincible in the fighting arena.

In his view, there is never a strongest martial art, only the most suitable technique used in the appropriate situation.

Techniques are dead, people are alive.

Only by mastering all the techniques can one become a more powerful martial artist!

After finishing the leg technique practice.

Fang Cheng then began to practice the two most important techniques in Muay Thai.

Elbow techniques and knee techniques.

Although there are differences between the fist and leg techniques of Muay Thai and boxing and Sanshou, the differences are not that big.

So, if you want to unlock this skill, the focus is still on elbow and knee techniques.

And these two techniques happen to be extremely lethal.

The so-called "elbows pass like knives, knee strikes like hammers," the power exerted in actual combat can always exceed the opponent's imagination.

Through several sparring sessions with Muay Thai fighters, Fang Cheng has basically mastered various elbow strikes and knee thrust techniques.

All that remains is to improve proficiency and use combination techniques flexibly.

The training hall after work.

It was so quiet that only the sound of one's own breathing and the crackling sound of fists and feet could be heard.

Fang Cheng's eyes were focused, and he made every move in a decent manner, decisively and neatly,

Horizontal elbow, upward elbow, downward smashing elbow, turning elbow, rushing knee, straight knee, flying knee, smashing knee…

When elbow and knee techniques were used in coordination, the more he practiced, the more he felt a sharp and fierce feeling.

He even vaguely grasped a kind of momentum of fighting more and more bravely.

If he could master this momentum, not to mention getting started with the skill, advancing to master level would be just around the corner.

Half an hour later.

After practicing Muay Thai and taking a shower.

With a "bang," Fang Cheng closed the gym door and was the last to leave the club.

There were two discs hidden in the satchel he was carrying, which were overdue for a day and had to be returned as soon as possible.

… … … … … … … … … … … …

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Inside the Wu You Audio-Visual Store, Wu Datong carried a thermos and poured boiling water into a large bowl of instant noodles.

In addition to the noodles and seasonings, the side dishes included ham sausage, pickled mustard tuber shreds, and a specially added marinated egg.

It can be described as extremely rich and smelled delicious.

Just then, a tall and thin young man pushed open the glass door and walked in.

He placed two discs on the counter and said:

"Boss, I'm sorry, I'm a day late. How much money will be deducted?"

The latest novels are first published on Six 9 Books!

Wu Datong looked up and saw Fang Cheng, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Immediately, his eyes lit up, and a smile squeezed out of his face.

"Forget it, you are an old customer, there is no need to calculate the bill so clearly…"

He waved his hand very generously, and then pretended to ask casually:

"By the way, A Cheng, how have you been considering what I told you last time?"

Fang Cheng was slightly stunned when he heard this.

Immediately, he remembered what Wu Datong said, so he pondered:

"Can I ask what kind of boxing friends they are? If…"

As he spoke, his gaze couldn't help but glance at Wu Datong's inconvenient left foot.

Although he really wanted to find an opponent to hone his skills, he couldn't possibly fight the old, weak, sick, and disabled, right?

"What kind of look is that in your eyes? I was young when I was young, and I even won a fighting competition championship!"

Wu Datong muttered a few words dissatisfiedly, and then simply made a decision:

"How about this, there will be an activity gathering next Thursday, I will personally take you to meet them, how about that?"

Fang Cheng thought for a moment and nodded.

The main reason he didn't care about what he said before was because after becoming a sparring partner, there were so many objects in the club to farm experience from.

He could practice skills and earn money, so there was no need to create extra problems.

Now, as his strength increases and his skills upgrade, the speed of experience growth is getting slower and slower.

It is indeed necessary to find some stronger opponents as targets.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng then made a request to rent the discs this time:

"Uncle Wu, I want to watch some documentaries about Muay Thai."

"Also, do you have any teaching films that can be used to learn foreign languages, such as Eastern Japanese, Latin…"

"Yes, I have them all!"

Seeing Fang Cheng agree, Wu Datong immediately became enthusiastic.

Soon, dragging his limping leg, he specially brought a pile of discs from the inner room.

"These are all foreign language teaching materials that I have treasured. I will lend them to you for free for a few days."

Fang Cheng fixed his eyes and saw that the covers were all photo girls wearing very revealing clothes.

He couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, somewhat stunned.

"This… isn't very appropriate, is it…"

"Are you going to learn or not?"

Fang Cheng immediately shook his head like a rattle.

Wu Datong was somewhat disappointed:

"Do you know what is the best exercise to temper one's willpower as a martial artist? It is to learn while enduring temptation."

"If it weren't for the fact that you have some martial arts talent, I wouldn't bother to say it to ordinary people…"

Listening to a teacher's earnest teachings, Fang Cheng reluctantly nodded.

Of course.

He wasn't curious about what the teachers in this world looked like, or whether they were still virtuous and talented.

He simply wanted to challenge his weaknesses.

"In addition to these few, I also want some more serious ones."

Fang Cheng put away the teaching materials and continued to make requests.

"Hiss, these are not enough to satisfy you? Young people are really formidable!"

Wu Datong took a breath when he heard this.
