The reincarnation of the movie king

A month later, Su Yi's underground martial arts training ground.

Both Su Yi and Chen Shi were wearing special armor. They each held two eight-cut knives. They were alert to the confrontation and approached with caution.

At a certain moment, when the two of them entered each other's attack range almost at the same time, they moved almost at the same time.

Swish!

If there were outsiders present, he would definitely find that he could not clearly see the movements of these two people.

The sound of fighting was heard for an instant, and then the two people's arms changed, and they passed each other, and when they were more than ten feet away, they stood together.

The next moment, the "vest" tied with many knots on Chen Shi's body and the same equipment on Su Yi's body fell off the two of them almost at the same time, broke into several sections, and fell to the ground.

Chen Shi twitched the corner of his mouth, slowly put away the knife, turned around, and looked at Su Yi with complicated eyes.

Su Yi on the other side also sheathed his sword, turned around, and raised his hand to Chen Shi.

In the flash of lightning, the two of them attacked each other's vital parts with knives, causing the knotted waistcoats they wore to "score" to fall to the ground.

If they pick up the vest and examine it carefully now, they will find that the knots that originally protected their throat or neck arteries, as well as their wrist arteries and hearts, have all been cut.

In a short moment, like a white horse passing through the gap, the two of them almost only attacked but not defended. They used both swords to attack each other with more than ten swords in an instant!

As a result, almost all the vital parts of the upper body of the two people were attacked by the other party!

If they were really fighting for their lives, the two of them would have perished together by now.

Of course, this is also because the two of them were practicing attack and speed just now, so there was no defense at all.

Su Yi felt a little emotional. The more pure his sword skills were, the more he felt the difference between weapons and fists.

I dare not say that the two are as different as clouds of mud, but at least they are two completely different fighting techniques.

Unarmed combat and the use of weapons are two completely different theories, both in terms of technical principles and styles of moves.

Unarmed combat advocates offense, while the use of weapons focuses more on defense.

The reason is very simple, punches can fight, if you take ten punches, as long as they can't knock you down, you can continue to fight.

But the knife is different. You really can't fight with it, and you may die if you fight with it!

Therefore, when the enemy and we are fighting with each other, the first thing to ensure is not to hit the opponent, but to ensure that you will not be attacked by the opponent.

In the use of weapons, there is no such thing as "the best defense is offense." Anyone who says this is doing so with the intention of risking their lives or dying together.

The sword technique that only attacks but does not defend is called Saburo Saburo.

But unarmed fighting is different. In mixed martial arts, the most important thing to train is how to knock down the opponent. Defense mainly involves defense and unlocking skills. Blocking and dodging are part of the combination of offense.

Unarmed skills do not pay much attention to defense, otherwise there would be no such thing as "anti-hit ability".

But weapons won’t work. Why don’t you try your “knife resistance”?

So weapons must defend.

As the saying goes, a sword cannot strike twice, and a stick cannot sound twice. This is what is said.

Then there is the enemy to be dealt with in unarmed combat.

In a weapons battle, the first thing to deal with is the weapon in the opponent's hand, and then the opponent.

This leads to a huge difference between the two in terms of the most basic martial arts concepts.

In the past month, Su Yi worked really hard. He only slept for five hours almost every day and practiced swordplay whenever he had time. Only then did he reach the level he is today.

"Your progress is so fast!" Chen Shi said slowly, "A month ago, you couldn't even touch a hair on my head, but now, you are on par with me. If you practice for a while longer, I'm afraid you won't be able to touch a hair on my head. I will no longer be your opponent."

Before Su Yi could say a few words of modesty, Chen Shi suddenly changed the subject: "But is your kung fu still Wing Chun?"

His face was complicated: "If I hadn't witnessed your changes every day and knew where your sword skills came from, even if the master were still alive, I wouldn't be able to see that the sword skills you practice are any different from the Wing Chun Eight-Zhan Sword. It’s related!”

Chen Shi said this because on the surface, the sword technique used by Su Yi and the sword technique Chen Shi taught him had nothing in common.

Even if everyone who is a real martial artist sees it, they will only vaguely feel that the sword skills performed by the two people seem to have some origin, but will not realize that they are the same sword technique.

The reason for this situation is that after Su Yi practiced the real Wing Chun eight-cut sword technique step by step for twenty days, he began to try to use his own method, according to his own rhythm and style, to perform the sword technique taught to him by Chen Shi. Improved and developed his own combination of sword skills.

Just like the combination boxing of mixed martial arts, Su Yi dismantles these sword techniques to extract their essence, then adds his own understanding and recombines them according to his own rhythm.

In addition, Su Yi also made significant improvements to the sword style of the Bazhan Dao itself in accordance with modern fencing training methods and martial arts theoretical points, making the sword technique sharper and faster. More varied. As a result, the Eight-Zhan Sword Technique that Chen Shi taught him had changed beyond recognition.

As we all know, the Eight-Zhan Sword should have been called the "Gasho Sword" or the "Butterfly Double Sword", but the reason why it is called the Eight-Zhan Sword is because this set of sword techniques of Wing Chun is derived from the "Eight Methods of Yongzi" in calligraphy theory. , performed with two gassho swords, hence the name.

The Eight-Zhan Sword is a set of sword techniques with very strong actual combat capabilities and huge power. Therefore, among Wing Chun sects, it is regarded as a top-notch Kung Fu and cannot be passed down unless it is passed down through direct lineage.

But such a powerful set of kung fu, like all traditional martial arts, has a common problem. In order to pursue "smoothness" and "beauty", there are many redundant movements in sword skills that are completely unnecessary, even for performance. There are some bells and whistles.

For example, in the Eight-Zhan Sword, there is a move called "Inner Sword Holding". In short, this move is "Inward Cutting", which attacks the middle and lower lanes.

Logically speaking, this move is an extremely tricky and insidious move, but when executed, it is very smooth. After the movement is performed, the entire body is like a bow being fully drawn, which is full of beauty.

The reason why such an effect can be achieved is because there are many unnecessary movements in this move.

As a result, after Su Yi improved it, this move no longer had any beauty at all. It looked like a person suddenly fell forward and was eating shit.

But the attack effect of this move has become a hundred times more powerful and insidious. It is silent and sudden, making it difficult for people to guard against it.

He and Chen Shi had a previous sparring match and used this move to seal the victory.

Also, there are some backhand knife moves in the Eight-Zhan Sword Technique, all of which were abandoned by Su Yi.

It stands to reason that the backhand knife is more concealed, and the angle of the backhand knife move is more tricky. In the Eight-Zhan Knife Technique, almost all the backhand knife moves are very dangerous killing moves, or even the ultimate move.

But such a trick comes at the expense of safety and distance.

Holding a knife in your backhand is definitely more difficult to defend than holding a knife in your forehand, and it sacrifices the length of the knife itself, requiring your body to be closer to the enemy.

The most important thing is that it is so easy to crack with a knife in your backhand.

That is - take a step back.

Keep the distance, and no matter how awesome your backhand knife move is, it won't be able to hit the enemy, and it will be completely useless. On the contrary, the enemy is holding a knife and can kill you at any time.

Furthermore, it is difficult to practice holding a knife in the backhand. It takes a lot of time and energy to master it. For Su Yi, the effort is not proportional to the reward, which is unnecessary.

Therefore, no matter how cool the backhand knife-holding move is, Su Yi will not use it if it is played in a fancy way.

From practicing martial arts to the present, although Su Yi is not considered a "master", he can still be regarded as a professional boxer who has his own martial arts concepts and developed his own fighting style.

He is very principled when it comes to his own style and concepts. Even though Chen Shi strongly opposed his deletion of Wing Chun's eight-cut sword technique, Su Yi still insisted on his own way.

He even had a very unpleasant quarrel with Chen Shi over this, and the two of them would quarrel every time they met for a few days.

The conflict between warriors ultimately comes down to the truth behind his subordinates.

As Su Yi made rapid progress every day, Chen Shi's consistent concepts and perceptions were severely overturned.

He began to try to let go of his prejudices and try to understand and think about Su Yi's changes to the Eight-Zhan Sword Technique.

To Chen Shi's shock and panic, he discovered that Su Yi was right!

Except for a small part of the improvements that have flaws and flaws, most of the moves have doubled in power and played a more threatening role after Su Yi's improvements and recombination.

And according to Su Yi's theory and practice, the Eight-Zhan Sword Technique should have a different rhythm and style in everyone's hands. This undoubtedly makes this "standard" sword technique more suitable for everyone. There is no need to go into details about the benefits of personal customization.

This made Chen Shi very painful and conflicted in his heart.

On the one hand, he couldn't fool himself, he knew that Su Yi's improvement of the Eight-Zhan Sword Technique was the right path, which also meant that Su Yi's martial arts philosophy represented the future.

But on the other hand, Su Yi changed the Eight-Zhan Sword beyond recognition, and even the most fundamental martial arts principles were changed. The eight Yongzi techniques were gone. Can such a sword technique still be called the Eight-Zhan Dao?

The original Eight-Zhan Sword Technique is that martial arts contains culture, philosophy, martial arts and the realm of life.

But now the Eight-Zhan Sword, which has been improved by Su Yi, has nothing left. It is like a wild dog pouncing on food or a cheetah hunting. All the beauty and charm are gone. All that is left is killing, killing, and killing again at all costs!

What a swordsmanship with profound connotations, but it was changed by Su Yi into something so utilitarian and ugly...

This is the fundamental reason why Chen Shi cannot accept it.

This is a fundamental contradiction and essential conflict between the concept of modern utilitarianism and the pursuit of self-cultivation in ancient martial arts.

This kind of contradiction and conflict is irreconcilable, it is either/or.

It's a bit of a "heresy".

In the battle of ideas, "heresies" are entities that should be eliminated more than "heretics".

When Su Yi first started arguing with Chen Shi, he couldn't understand Chen Shi's thoughts. He felt that he was pedantic, conservative and did not know how to adapt.

He even maliciously guessed that Chen Shi had a sour grape mentality, and he couldn't see that his martial arts concepts were more scientific and advanced, and he refused to admit his own backwardness and failure, so he became angry.

But as the argument between the two deepened, Su Yi gradually understood Chen Shi, understood Chen Shi's inner contradictions, and realized that he was a villain for thinking so.

The core contradiction between the two is that in martial arts, should just being able to fight be enough?

If martial arts loses its realm, loses its philosophical thinking, and loses its humanistic and even artistic pursuits, wouldn’t martial arts become vulgar again?

So for martial arts, is it considered progress or regression?

Even Su Yi couldn't answer this question.

From the current point of view, or even from Su Yi's era, Su Yi's approach is undoubtedly the right one.

But what if the breadth of this problem covers thousands of years, or even ten thousand years?

No one knows what martial arts, which contains the realm of philosophy, humanities and art, will sublimate into.

But martial arts that are purely for killing people, even if they last for tens of millions of years, will still be just martial arts.

ten thousand years is too long, fight for now!

Facing Chen Shi's questioning again, Su Yi couldn't help but sigh and said, "Senior brother, do you regret teaching me?"

Chen Shi was stunned for a moment.

He originally thought that Su Yi would argue with him seriously like before.

But he didn't expect that Su Yi would ask him such a question this time.

Do you regret it?

If Su Yi had not been taught Wing Chun, Wing Chun would not have been "ruined" beyond recognition.

But if Su Yi does not teach Wing Chun, Wing Chun will be defeated by Su Yi who has learned other martial arts.

Chen Shi shook his head decisively and said, "I don't regret teaching you."

As if to emphasize, he said again: "I don't regret teaching you."

"Since senior brother has no regrets, then let's not ask about right or wrong." Su Yi smiled, "If senior brother really feels that my sword technique should not be called the Eight-Zhan Dao, my boxing techniques should not be called Xiaonian and Xunqiao. It doesn't matter with Piao Zhi, just call it another name. As long as I am a Wing Chun person, no matter what kind of Kung Fu I practice, this Kung Fu belongs to Wing Chun."

Chen Shi was a little moved, he heard Su Yi's ambition.

His junior brother actually has the ambition to be called the ancestor of the clan!

But he really has the potential and the qualifications!

After a long silence, Chen Shi looked at Su Yi and said seriously: "Junior brother, from now on, I will not argue with you, and I will teach you all the skills of Wing Chun."

"If one day you succeed in your boxing skills, I will also support you in establishing a new family..."

Seeing that Su Yi was about to speak, Chen Shi stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "I know what you are going to say, junior brother, you want to say that you were born as a Wing Chun person and died as a Wing Chun ghost, right?"

"Yes." Su Yi nodded. Although this was not what he said, this was what he wanted to express.

Since there are Xiao Niu Niang, Xun Qiao, Biao Zhi and Ba Zhan Dao in Wing Chun, I wouldn't mind adding another mixed martial arts and Geng style swordsmanship derived from Ba Zhan Dao.

Since he chose Wing Chun, he was ready to let his martial arts and Wing Chun flourish together.

He had no intention of throwing away Wing Chun after using it, discarding it like worn out shoes. This was not his character.

But Chen Shi obviously didn't see it that way.

He said: "If you really come to the day when you open a sect and establish a sect, it will be a good thing for you and Wing Chun if you leave Wing Chun. But if you still stay in Wing Chun, the world will only know you as Geng Liangchen, not I know Wing Chun.”
