Chapter 149 The master took a shot (10 more)
Xu Feng imitated Ip Man and hit the wooden man stake a few times.
Second! It hurts so much.
Xu Feng immediately grinned and rubbed his arms.
The hardwood stakes collided with the bones, and the harder the more you exert, the more sore your arms would be.
Ip Man laughed, "A Feng, your foundation... is really not bad. But it doesn't matter, take it slowly. I remember when I first started practicing wooden stakes, it was exactly the same as you are now!"
Xu Feng rubbed his arms and asked in confusion: "Master, I still don't understand at all. Since Wing Chun is a practical boxing technique, why not practice with real people, but to drive against wooden stakes?"
Ip Man laughed and said, "First, real people are expensive to practice. Wing Chun boxing is about speed, accuracy and ruthlessness. Once you take action, you will be disabled. Who dares to accompany you to practice? Second, the basic mental method of Wing Chun boxing is [chasing face to face]. Simply put, it is to try to keep facing the enemy. In this way, the direction of local attacks can be simplified, so that the enemy's many fancy routines and moves cannot be used, and can only follow your fast pace of attack."
"With the [middle line theory], we can hit the enemy more easily, while at the same time, the enemy's composition and rhythm are chaotic."
"Whether it is the mid-line theory or the pursuit of the face-to-face, you will eventually have to go back to the face-to-face duel, so hitting the wooden stake is the best choice."
"...I understand." Xu Feng nodded seriously and continued to practice with wooden stakes.
Ip Man brought a small stool, sat with his legs crossed, and watched Xu Feng practice leisurely.
From Xu Feng, he seemed to see himself when he was young.
...Well, he is so serious, so handsome, and so cool.
The difference is... He handed over 100 acres of fertile land and 200 taels of gold, but Xu Feng was a waste of learning.
Not only is he a master, but he also has to take care of food and accommodation.
"Oh, how can I make a confession with Yongcheng?" Ye Wen rubbed his forehead and sighed heavily.
Xu Feng stopped quickly, "Master, I'm not practicing right?"
"No, no, no, uh... maybe, you should use harder." Ip Man looked like a strict teacher was a good disciple.
"yes!"
Xu Feng took a deep breath and added a few more power to hit the wooden man stake.
After a while, his arms became numb, and the pain before became less sore as if it had broken through the limit.
After half an hour of continuous fighting, Ip Man nodded slightly.
"Very good, A Feng, it seems that you have mastered the most basic mental method of Wing Chun. Your body can basically achieve a state of being integrated in the middle line - have you learned or seen Wing Chun before?"
Xu Feng quickly replied: "No, never."
In fact, of course he has seen Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do!
Jeet Kune Do originally came from Wing Chun, and Xu Feng understood the Jeet Kune Do flow of consciousness by himself. When he turned around and learned Wing Chun, he naturally understood it from other aspects.
Ip Man said with emotion: "Then you are really a genius who practices Wing Chun! Your basic skills are very poor, and your endurance is even worse. However, Wing Chun itself does not pay much attention to the basics of waist-horse like Hongquan, and the need for endurance is also very small, which is just suitable for your current situation. It seems that this Wing Chunquan is specialized..."
Xu Feng grinned and said, "It was specially designed for me?"
Ip Man frowned and scolded: "A Feng, you are so shameless."
Xu Feng quickly said respectfully: "It depends entirely on the teachings of the master."
"you……"
Ip Man was really a little amused and crying when he had such a cheap apprentice.
"Okay, I can see that you can master the basic mental method so quickly. I will officially start teaching you Wing Chun's thirteen moves!"
"Only after you learn the thirteen moves of Wing Chun can you be considered a true Wing Chun disciple!"
Ip Man stood in front of the wooden man stake, tied the two-character pincer horse, and showed a signature [Quanshe] starting position.
The movements are chic and the momentum is extraordinary!
"The first trick: ask for a way."
"The so-called questioning means asking for directions, tempting, finding the opponent's empty gate, and determining the offensive route."
"There is a lot of knowledge here, you have to carefully understand and ponder it."
Ip Man attacked with one move and then closed the trend.
Xu Feng blinked in horror, "What?"
"What?"
"Master, you just sucked it?"
"Bastard!" Ip Man said angrily: "What master just twitched, and the master just used a trick to ask!"
Xu Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Master, you are so fast that I can't see clearly at all! I thought you had a shot! Although I am your cheap apprentice, if you teach me like this, I will never be able to become a master for eight lifetimes. I will stay at your house in the future and eat the food cooked by my master's wife."
Ip Man sighed helplessly, "Okay, okay, let's have a master-apprentice game, don't say such scary words. The master's actions just now were a little faster. After all, it was the first time that he was formally taught, and he was not very mature in teaching. Let's do it like this, let's slow down and try it a few more times, and you can take a closer look."
"Okay." Xu Feng nodded heavily.
Ip Man re-tied his posture and decomposed the movements one by one. While hitting the wooden man stake, he explained: "The way of asking for directions is divided into front hand and back hand. The front hand is called asking for hands, which is a very casual action."
"It's a bit like a swallow picking up water." Xu Feng said.
"Yes! But it's not exactly a swallow's water picking." Ip Man said: "The starting style of a swallow's water picking is beautiful and has no practical effect. The questioning method is a way to quickly enter the midline and find the other party's flaws."
"Test, find empty doors, and determine the route. These three points must be done at the same time when the question is revealed, so that you can achieve a confident and free state."
As Ip Man said, he demonstrated it to Xu Feng again.
"Since you have a front hand, you must have a back hand. The back hand who asks for a road hand is called [hand guard], which, as the name suggests, means protection."
"Every move by Wing Chun is both offensive and defensive. When testing the enemy's weaknesses and reality, you must also protect your center line."
"I'll do it again, you can watch it."
Ip Man's fist and fist turned into a palm, and at the same time stretched out from the midline in front of him toward the front, with his right hand in front, his elbow slightly bent, his fingertips slightly tilted upward, showing a "questioning hand", his left hand is behind, his palm is opposite to the inner side of his arm, and his fingertips are facing upward, showing a "hand guard".
Xu Feng quickly demonstrated the movements of Ip Man. Although he was not as casual as Ip Man for the time being, he already had a 70-80% charm.
Ip Man nodded slightly and continued, "Remember, the elbow of the questioner should be in the center line in front of him, with his palm slightly tilted, and his fingertips point to the other person's eyes. The handguard stands on the elbow of the questioner. His eyes go over the fingertips of the questioner and shot towards the other person to observe the movements. When the two hands are exchanged, the handguard extends from the top of the questioner to form a handguard, and the original handguard is retracted below to become a handguard."
"I understand Master!" Xu Feng repeated the movement again, this time it was obviously more standard.
Chapter completed!
