Chapter 479 475. Hai Dafu and Mao Dongzhu

Luo Yihang has been practicing martial arts with Master Gou Gou.

Life is miserable.

I got scolded by Grandpa Gou Gou today.

"Arms are arms, legs are legs. Every time you exert force, you should go through the middle. Do you think you are a meteor hammer? When you swing your fist, the opponent will knock you down eight hundred times."

Then follow his instructions and change the way you generate force, from starting with the core of your torso to starting with your palms.

Tomorrow I will go to the old Taoist priest in Dongyang Palace and get scolded again.

"Where did you learn this trick? This is wrong. Is it more powerful with just one fist or with the whole body? Don't you understand this principle?"

Come back the day after tomorrow.

"You have all your strength? Well, I hit you with my fist and gave you a black eye. Is it necessary to use all your strength? You are already lying on the ground. What's the point of having all your strength?"

The day after tomorrow.

"What are the two hands for? Did you throw away the stance? Did you also throw away the footwork? You can block, you can dodge, you can give in, you can strike last and arrive first."

The day after tomorrow.

"You are the only one with the footwork and two hands, but you are the last one to arrive before me. Being last means being last. If you are weak in one step, you will be weak in every step. How stupid I must be to take advantage of you and let you turn the tables. Listen carefully, if you let someone arrive after you and arrive before you, it means you are not good enough. You need to practice."

Of course, it’s not really one day at a time, there is practice time in between.

Anyway, Luo Yihang is like a rat in a bellows - being bullied from both ends.

Both of them are so old, Luo Yihang dare not offend either of them.

The problem is that what both sides say makes sense, and Luo Yihang can all feel that it makes sense from his own experience, but it's also completely twisted.

The two routes are one south and one north, but they lead to the same destination.

This is amazing.

Later, the old Taoist priest and Grandpa Gou Gou both knew that Luo Yihang had another master, who was against them.

I don’t know where the two old men got such magnanimity from, they were so determined to prove that they were right.

Fight with Luo Yihang from a distance.

If we teach a powerful person today, we will have to teach an even more powerful person tomorrow, and we must make sure to surpass the other side.

The two old men are like children.

Then, Luo Yihang felt like he had become a combination of Xiao Guizi and Xiao Xuanzi, with Hai Dafu and Mao Dongzhu on each side.

He was caught in the middle again.

But there is one thing that the two old men have in common.

No one cares about martial arts, which is what they call fighting in vain.

The reasons are equally simple.

"No matter how powerful your fists are, can they be as powerful as a stick?", "The weapon in your hand is your life. If you lose it, what are you waiting for but to run away?"

After starting systematic exercise equipment.

Luo Yihang slowly felt the difference between what the old Taoist priest and Master Gou Gou taught.

The two old men, one is from the inner family and the other is from the outer family. I knew this a long time ago.

But what is the difference between internal and external martial arts?
Now I finally understand.

The difference lies in the fact that Uncle Gou Gou always raises his hand from the very beginning, and he applies a lot of force every time.

In internal martial arts, the torso is used as the axis, and muscles throughout the body form a new power chain, driving the overall displacement of the body and generating momentum to replace the long-line motion work of the limbs and drive the overall force.

The advantage of this system is its overall strength.

Weightlifters actually use similar training methods. The world records for weightlifting are snatch 223 kg and clean and jerk 265 kg. It takes a lot of strength for a person weighing kg to lift kg.

Internal martial arts are like a heavy bulldozer, boom boom, it goes by just like that.

But the disadvantages are also obvious, slow startup.

To put it in the game, the swing time before the attack is long, and the stiffness after being hit is also long, because the body's power chain needs to be adjusted.

Of course, this speed is relative. Ordinary people who have never practiced cannot feel the speed of starting at all. In their eyes, the fist reaches the face in an instant.

But in the eyes of experts, the difference is huge. When experts fight, the moves are fleeting and you will die if you try.

Although internal martial arts may use stances, footwork, and even close contact to make up for the shortcomings, the core remains unchanged.

There is no perfection in the world, there are always gains and losses.

The same is true for external martial arts.

The external family uses the limbs to drive the body, and the force is generated by using usual habitual movements, without the need to rebuild the power chain.

It's the skill of farming, and the exertion of force is consistent with farm work.

It starts quickly, has a short stiffness, and the movements are smoothly connected. It's really fast.

The disadvantage is naturally that the strength is relatively small, and it requires higher physical fitness, and the physical threshold is higher than that of internal martial arts.

Because he is born strong, that is why he is strong.

He is eight feet tall, with a waist that is ten times bigger than his waist, a broad back and strong arms covered with patterns, and holding two large axes. When he sees the enemy, he shouts loudly, and it is like a thunderclap out of nowhere, and he chops down on the front line. He is definitely an external martial arts master.

Both internal and external martial arts require physical fitness, but the requirements of external martial arts are higher.

Both sides require intelligence and wisdom, but the internal requirements are a little higher.

In fact, in modern times, those who grew up eating enough fat, protein, meat, eggs and milk, and who studied math, physics and chemistry in high school, were all gifted and talented in both inside and outside.

Therefore, Luo Yihang must have cultivated both inside and outside.

Just come with both, there is no conflict anyway.

Once the force-generating method has formed muscle memory, you can switch it at will.

Just like after finishing a Chinese test paper, you can't do math anymore? That's not the case.

However, Luo Yihang has a preference when it comes to the choice of weapons.

Luo Yihang didn't like the Liuhe Spear taught by Taoist Priest Tan Yanqing. The spear was too long and soft. When he used it to block or stab, the spear head had a shaking and accumulation process, which only took a moment, but he had to wait until the spear tip turned to the right position before stabbing, which was not smooth enough.

So Luo Yihang learned how to use the hard spear, or lance, from Grandpa Gou Gou. Grandpa Gou Gou called it a stabbing spear.

It is shorter, about two meters long, with a hard pole and a hard end, and it goes straight.

He stretched out his arm and stabbed, quickly and fiercely.

In terms of stick techniques, Uncle Gou Gou was good at using a large coiled dragon stick, of course that was when he was young.

Now I am too old to dance.

Uncle Gonggong planned to pass it on to Luo Yihang.

But Luo Yihang just didn't like it. He felt that this kind of stick had an extra head in the front and was more like a whipping, which he didn't like.

Instead, he learned the Northwest Whip, also called Thirteen Sticks, which was the skill that the old Taoist priest was good at. It was a short stick more than one meter long, similar in length to a walking stick.

When using it, it is close combat, and both hands are adjusted and moved as desired, like a dragon entwining you, which is extremely stimulating.

Then there are the long sword and short sword, which Luo Yihang learned from Grandpa Gonggong.

Mr. Gonggong can be called a master of weapons and is proficient in using both long and short weapons.

He can actually use javelin and team cards.

In the words of Mr. Gonggong, "If you master one, you can master all of them. It's just like playing a musical instrument. Once you master one, you can easily master the others."

That's what it says.

But when it came to practicing swordsmanship, Luo Yihang realized something was wrong.

Why does this routine seem so familiar?

Also.

Are these things something a troupe of opera performers should know?

Is the troupe so powerful?
