Chapter 168 Eastern and Western Swordsmanship IV

After thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, Donatro felt that Wang Hong was flexible and not as strong as his strength. So in the last three rounds, he stopped taking the defensive position and attacked from the upwards, trying to drag Wang Hong to the entangled distance and win with strength.

The European long sword is very pragmatic, with a long stab, a middle split, and when it is close, it still hits both ends like a short stick and takes away weapons, and even does not forget to attack with your hands and feet.

In contrast, Chinese swordsmanship is very regular, with more sword dances than fencing, and no swordsmanship is so crazy. Even a good swordsmanship only highlights certain characteristics of swordsmanship, rather than aggressiveness.

Donatro thought that he had a great chance of winning by dragging Wang Hong into his strength, and he didn't even believe that Wang Hong could dodge his two-way attacks at close range.

But Donatro also knew that Wang Hong's speed and reaction were faster than him, so he first attacked steadily, first pressing Wang Hong in front of the sword, and then entering the state of sticking the sword.

Now, the situation formed a situation where Wang Hong retreated and Donatero was pressing.

It is often seen in later movies: the swords of both sides are tightly framed together. An ignorant director will shoot the two sides like two strong men fighting each other to compete with each other, and by the way, they will blow their beards and stare at them and say a few bold lines.

In actual combat, I never saw such a scene.

Don’t forget that the real battle formation swords in the East and the West are exactly the same, without cutting the blade in the back of the sword, and can be grasped and compatible.

Once the European swordsman enters the situation of sticking swords, he will immediately use the intersection point of the two swords as the basis, or use the hilt of the sword to hit people, or use the sword hilt to cut, and the blade can even thrust. The intersection of the two swords becomes the fulcrum of the leverage force, which is very rich in skills. The image of the European long sword is called the "sword-circling" technique.

Donatro's first attempt failed because his sword was long and the two swords stuck. Before he could feel the power on Wang Hong's sword, the short sword changed first. Wang Hong actually walked into his sword body and rushed straight into his chest and abdomen.

He didn't know that this was the unity of body and sword in Chinese swordsmanship.

The swordsmanship idea of ​​advancing and retreating, using the arm as the handle and the spear as the first target of confrontation was the characteristic of Chinese swordsmanship, which ran through the Ming and Qing Dynasties (later sword against sword, sword against air, better ones were considered simplified versions, most of which were just sword dances).

Donatro lost this round helplessly.

In the next round, Donatro finally blocked Wang Hong as he wished, and the swords of both sides finally stuck together.

Donatro was overjoyed, his sword was half-straightened, and he was about to lift his legs and exert force.

He heard only: "Dang", "Dang" and "Dang", Wang Hong chopped his sword against Donatro's long sword body with his sword, above the hilt of the sword, and then stopped in his hand.

Wang Hong's sword body changes are richer than all the skills Donatro could think of.

The chopping of the sword blade, the cutting of the blade bar, the slap of the sword spine, the knocking and chopping, and the sticking and wiping are all in the thought of turning the wrist.

He used Donatero's long sword as the gun bar and chopped it a few times, making Donatero's long sword a dead object.

The opportunity to stick to the sword that Donatro finally got became a bonus question.

The true Chinese martial arts seem to be based on military strategists in the long river of Chinese culture, but in the core, it is the "Yi" which is the source of the great way of the sutras. What the three Yis talk about throughout the text is the word "change".

Has anyone studied the emergence of martial arts routines in the same period as the eight-legged essay.

Eight-legged essays are the essence of the superiors, but they cannot bend their heads to do things. Therefore, those routines, which combine various principles and essences, lock in the "change", resulting in only inheritance and being useless to go into battle.

Wang Hong's sword technique was passed down from the Song Dynasty to break the armor and later it has been circulated in the family of the small officials, retaining a lot of original characteristics. Apart from basic techniques and some principles, there are no routines.

After Wang Hong learned the three sword techniques of Xingyi Pure Yang Sword, Bagua Trading Sword, and Tai Chi Body and Idea Continuous Sword, with the help of his grandfather, Wang Hong gradually integrated the advantages of these sword techniques. At this time, he suddenly realized that except for the four categories of sword techniques that must be practiced, the rest of the sword technique only had the eight words "Catch it close and change it."

I also found some inspiration when I got the poem "The body should be like water flowing" written by Sun Lutang.

'Respond to change', Wu Shu, a martial artist who mainly studied gun technique in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties (a martial artist who did not mention boxing) said in the sixth grade of gun technique: "One is deified, I have nothing to do, and I become a body because of the enemy. It is like a wave of water, and fire makes flames." The meaning is exactly 'Response to the enemy and change it, following the enemy's momentum, the gun blade spreads like water waves, like a burning flame, and it enters the enemy's body without any meaning.'

"Close-Body Strike" can be used to learn from Bruce Lee's words: "The essence of my martial arts is two points: close-Body and exerting force. If anyone can master these two points, no matter what type of master you are, you can knock the opponent down like a thunderbolt as fast as possible."

Just from this sentence pointing directly to the core of martial arts, Bruce Lee knocked down most of the world's bare-handed martial artists.

These two people's statements cannot reach the "body shape should be like water" summarized by the limits of the body, but it is only a slight difference from this state.

Eastern culture is based on the research direction of discovering more technologies and its own potential, but Europe is strengthening the attack power of the sword body and hardware protection methods. In this regard, the West is more intuitive.

However, Wang Hong used the game-making skills in Chinese martial arts to fight against European swordsmanship that did not consider the venue and the richer game-making skills. From a certain perspective, he gained the upper hand of irregularities.

Donatro approached three times, but Wang Hong's sword body was stuck to him and left. Even with the movement of the sword, the person had moved and changed to his side, and the attack was all about the difference in the body's space. This made Donatro lose inexplicably, but it made the people watching around him praise him.

European swordsmanship, whether it is military formations or duels, are straightforward and cannot see this style of body and sword integration.

Donatro has no fixed tricks to Wang Hong, and cannot come up with a suitable response, so he can only lose again and again.

After five rounds, everyone stopped.

Many observers immediately began an excited discussion, and they praised the "flexibility" in Chinese swordsmanship. They even discussed the introduction of this direction in European swordsmanship.

Donatro lost all five rounds, without any annoyance. Seeing Wang Hong surrounded by others to ask him about various problems in swordsmanship. He hid aside, pulled a few familiar theoretical experts, and seriously asked about his gains and losses just now.

The next game is the end of a swordsman who uses the Swift Sword or a swordsman who can be called a Sharp Sword.

------

Every chapter says: There is a saying that "ten swords and swords" means that the time spent on the sword is ten times that of the sword. Celebrities, princes, generals, and masters, and scholars do not like swords, mainly related to the meaning of the instrument. The swordsman's skills are brave, chopping, chopping, and cutting, and the skills are covered by the characteristics of the knife itself. Ordinary people use kitchen knives to chop meat, so that the swordsman's skills are blinded. The swordsman's skills can be slashed, chopped, and cut, with comprehensive technology and strong strategy. The principles are consistent with military tactics.
