Chapter 10: Shaped like a sharp arrow and as powerful as a landslide
“Aren’t you tired of using so much crooked thinking on such a trivial matter? Isn’t it a good idea to think about Tai Chi?”
After listening to Li Zhulin's words, Wang An didn't understand what these people were thinking.
“Everyone is different, but as long as he puts a little thought into Tai Chi, he will not be disgraced by you, a student.”
"But Tai Chi is suitable for maintaining health. It sounds good to use softness to overcome strength, but it lacks a bit of strength." Li Xinzhu said with a smile.
“Tai Chi also has strength.” Wang An said with a smile.
“Yes, but if you don’t pay enough tuition here, they won’t teach you real Tai Chi.
Besides, they may not know much. At Yang Zan's level, I guess he only knows a little bit about it. Yang Xianhua has some real abilities, but his mind is not here! "
Li Xinzhu’s comment seems to know a lot of inside information.
“You know a lot. Since you know you can’t learn real Tai Chi here, why are you still learning it here?” Wang An said in surprise.
“What can I do? The tuition has already been paid! Alas, do you want to learn something fierce?”
“Fierce, what, the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon?”
“That’s a novel, it’s all lies. Have you ever heard of Xingyiquan? It’s fierce and domineering, and it’s particularly exciting to fight.”
Li Xinzhu looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he whispered, as if he was talking to a spy.
"Xingyi? Wait a minute. I remember that ten days ago, a new Xingyi boxing martial arts gym was opened on another street a few hundred meters away. It was very lively with people playing gongs and drums.
You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, must be the undercover agent sent over there, right? "Wang An stared at Li Xinzhu.
A few days ago, when the Xingyi Quan martial arts gym opened for business, he happened to pass by it. There were dragon and lion dances, gongs and drums, and it was very lively.
Li Xinzhu smiled and waved his hand.
“A friend of mine was there, and I just helped to recruit people to support him.
The tuition fee for a month here is 2,000, and that there is 1,800. If you go, I will give you a 20% discount for my sake. You can go and study for free for a week without any tuition fees. How about that? "
“When I told you about pushing hands, why were your energy so strong and straight? It turns out you have practiced Xingyiquan!
Even martial arts schools are doing this now? If Director Yang finds out about you, he will slap you half to death. "
“He dares! This is a society governed by the rule of law. I paid the money and I still have the receipt.
Besides, it’s not that I look down on him, he really may not have that ability. He doesn’t go out for ten years in Tai Chi, and beats people to death in one year in Xingyi.
Tai Chi is notoriously difficult to learn, and Yang Xianhua’s actual combat ability may not be very strong. There are also rumors that he was beaten by several big men in the early years and his nose and face were bruised and swollen.
If he really fights with me, I still can't tell who will lose, who will win, and who will win. I really want to give him a try if I have the chance. "
When it comes to Yang Xianhua, Li Xinzhu is quite disdainful in his words.
"Is it so swollen? Then teach me two moves first and let me see the effect." Wang An thought for a while and said.
“Okay, let’s just use Bengquan, right? With half a step, Bengquan can conquer the world!”
As he spoke, Li Xinzhu took Wang An directly to the Xingyi Quan martial arts gym not far away. On the plaque were two big characters - "Xingyi" - "Xingyi".
At this o'clock, there was a man guarding the door. When he saw Li Xinzhu coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
“Senior brother.”
“Ahem, this is a friend of mine who is here to take a look.” Li Xinzhu coughed and blinked hard at the man.
Wang An sees through it but doesn’t say it, just pretend he didn’t see it.
I thought that this martial arts gym was good enough, so I actually sent someone to go to the Tai Chi martial arts gym to check it out. It was like a spy war drama.
Bengquan, a kind of straight punch, is sent straight forward, the fist is raised, the eye of the fist is upward, the center of the fist is inward, and the force is on the face of the fist.
When exerting force, the energy should be stored in a concealed manner, with a short and rapid attack, the arms are not fully engaged, the force is generated from the roots, a sudden cold movement, a short attack, fast and intense, and the power penetrates the internal organs.
The movement is like a sharp arrow piercing an object, and when exerting force, it is as powerful as a mountain falling apart.
Wang An looked at it very carefully.
He practiced Tai Chi first and already had a certain foundation in body coordination and force exertion skills.
Although Xingyi and Tai Chi are two different martial arts, they still have similarities in some places.
Li Xinzhu demonstrated it several times.
“Shall I give it a try?” Wang And said.
"OK."
Wang An practiced boxing according to Professor Li Xinzhu’s method, and it looked a bit like it.
"Yes, you are very talented in boxing." Li Xinzhu praised.
“Don’t learn Tai Chi. Yang Zan himself is not even half-assed. If you learn from him, you won’t be able to get out even if you practice for ten or eight years.
Learning Xingyiquan, depending on your understanding, you can definitely practice it in less than a year. "
“To practice this Bengquan, you have to practice Zhuang Kung Fu first, right?” Wang An thought about the boxing technique just now.
Power is generated from the feet, with the waist as the axis, which is the same as the method of generating force in Tai Chi.
It's just that Tai Chi emphasizes harmony and spiral strength; this Bengquan is "turning waves", straight forward and straight.
“Yes, Tai Chi has Wuji stance and Tai Chi stance. Naturally, Xingyiquan also has stance method, which is called three-body pose. Come on, I’ll teach you.”
“That’s it, I haven’t paid the tuition yet.” Wang An said with a smile.
"It's okay, just make friends." Li Xinzhu said cheerfully.
Li Xinzhu then really taught Wang An the methods and key points of the three-body stance.
“You have learned Xingyiquan, Xingyiquan (first practice).
I learned a new skill during this trip, which is an unexpected surprise.
"what do you think?"
“Well, I’ll think about it again, and I have a question I’d like to ask.” Wang An nodded.
“You tell me, I absolutely know everything.” Li Xinzhu said, patting his chest.
“Besides Yang Xianhua, is there anyone else in Hu’an who has higher attainments in Tai Chi? I would like to ask for your advice.”
“Hey, why can’t you forget Tai Chi!?”
“I paid 4,000 yuan in tuition, but I have to practice something, otherwise I would be a little unwilling.”
“You only have 4,000 yuan, but those who practice boxing with us have more than 20,000 yuan. I think his training is not as good as yours. What did they say?
There is a saying that Tai Chi is indeed quite unique in terms of health preservation, but most of the martial arts methods have been cut out. Yang Wudi's boxing methods back then have been changed beyond recognition.
But if you really want to learn, I really know a person who is really capable, but the fee is really expensive! "Li Xinzhu said after pondering for a while.
“Who is it?” Wang An asked hurriedly.
“Chen Xifeng, the president of the Tai Chi Association of Hu’an City, opened a Tai Chi martial arts gym on Qingyang Mountain on the outskirts of the city for 1,500 yuan.”
“Isn’t that expensive?”
“A class costs 1,500 yuan, and a class lasts no more than two hours. Do you think it’s expensive?” Li Xinzhu held out a finger.
