"Do you also think that traditional martial arts are not suitable for ring competitions and should not be promoted?"
Nie Shouren looked at Zhao Yan who rejected him and asked.
"Forehead."
Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment.
He was actually more motivated by the world of "Gunfire", but he couldn't tell the other party about this reason, so what the other party said at this time was a good excuse.
"Traditional martial arts has too high requirements for talent and is too slow to achieve results. It is indeed not as good as modern fighting in this regard. Even if you can popularize it and make more people willing to learn it, the vast majority of students in the future will definitely be better than modern martial arts. But those who practice modern fighting."
Zhao Yan said to Nie Shouren.
The advantage of traditional martial arts is that it has a higher ceiling and a longer future, while modern fighting focuses on 'short, flat, and fast' and has a low threshold.
At this point, modern fighting is indeed more suitable for competitive sports.
As for whether an athlete's body will collapse after retirement, or whether he will suffer from injuries when he gets old, that is not considered at all. People just trade youth for performance.
"Sure enough, you think so too."
Nie Shouren looked bitter.
"Does anyone else think so?"
Zhao Yan asked curiously.
"My teacher and several senior brothers also advised me this way."
"Aren't they willing to come out and fight?"
"My teacher doesn't like to be in public or use kung fu to compete with others in the ring. He believes that national martial arts should be used to kill enemies and defend the home and country, rather than competing for fame and fortune with others. As for my Several senior brothers have their own missions and are not suitable for this."
Nie Shouren said this.
Zhao Yan nodded, guessing that the other party's teacher and several senior brothers were most likely from the military and police circles. Such people were really not suitable for playing games in public.
"My teacher told me that the stage of Chinese martial arts is not in the ring competition, but on the real battlefield. Many people are trying to promote Chinese martial arts to people who are suitable for it, and it is quite effective. The things of our ancestors will not It’s lost, so I shouldn’t be too obsessed. But I just can’t accept it!”
Nie Shouren clenched his fists.
Guoshu is more like those warriors who are unknown in the dark and move forward with heavy burdens, and he wants to make Guoshu the most dazzling star on the stage!
"..."
Zhao Yan was silent.
He could understand Nie Shouren's reluctance, and he was actually willing to cooperate with him if possible.
Unfortunately......
"Master Nie, I admire your idea very much, but everyone has his own ambitions. I really can't join your team. But I sincerely hope you can succeed. If you need my help in any way, I will try my best to help."
Zhao Yan said to Nie Shouren sincerely.
Nie Shouren was very sorry. He really felt that Zhao Yan was more suitable for promoting traditional martial arts than him, but unfortunately he couldn't force it.
"In that case, I won't bother you."
Nie Shouren's mood was a little low and he stood up to say goodbye.
"Master Nie."
Zhao Yan suddenly stopped the other party.
"Um?"
"I don't know if it's inconvenient for you. Let's discuss it?"
Zhao Yan asked.
He really wants to know what the current martial arts world is like, and what level he is at?
Nie Shouren was actually not in the mood for a discussion, but when he saw Zhao Yan's eager eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse.
In his opinion, Zhao Yan most likely has not had contact with many colleagues, and may have many questions that he would like to discuss and ask for advice from.
Originally, if Zhao Yan agreed to join his team, he would take the initiative to communicate and compete with Zhao Yan every day to help him improve continuously.
But now...
"Okay, let's discuss it."
Nie Shouren smiled and nodded.
After all, he still couldn't bear to reject Zhao Yan.
So the two left the tea room and found an empty place nearby.
"Master Zhao, I practice a lot of boxing skills, but my major is Baguazhang. I will use Baguazhang to compete with you on a few moves."
Nie Shouren said to Zhao Yan.
"please."
Zhao Yan cupped his fists towards the opponent.
"please."
Nie Shouren took up his stance and signaled Zhao Yan to attack first.
Zhao Yan was not polite, he rushed out with a [shock kick], crossed the distance of four to five meters, and hit Nie Shouren's face with a support hammer.
Because it was a sparring match, Zhao Yan focused on fighting and did not use An Jin.
Nie Shouren struck out with his right hand and hit Zhao Yan's right arm, as if a knife was slashing out, destroying Zhao Yan's strength. Then he turned sideways and elbowed Zhao Yan in the face!
Zhao Yan also turned sideways and activated [Shock Kick] again, squeezing his body towards Nie Shouren and crashing into him.
Nie Shouren did not fight Zhao Yan, but slipped his feet and retreated to avoid the sharp edge. At the same time, his raised right elbow suddenly turned downwards.
This move was so fast that Zhao Yan's lower body went cold. His keen sense made him realize that the other party was going to attack his lower body!
Good guy, Zhao Yan had heard from his grandfather that Baguazhang was 'yin' before. Now he finally realized how 'yin' it is, and only then did he use the second move to 'demolish the ancestral hall'.
Snapped!
Zhao Yan blocked Nie Shouren's blow with his left hand in time.
Nie Shouren was a little surprised.
Of course, he didn't use much force in this blow. After all, it was just a sparring match, but the speed was very fast and very sudden.
Originally, according to his expectation, Zhao Yan should be the kind of novice who works behind closed doors and has no actual combat experience, so he used his "backhand teasing" trick and the competition was over.
But he didn't expect that Zhao Yan could actually block it.
Nie Shouren kept walking, as if walking in mud, but at an extremely fast speed. He suddenly turned around and came behind Zhao Yan, turning his back to Zhao Yan and waving his left arm.
This move is called the 'turning palm'. Nie Shouren also used this move in the ring this morning. Due to the restrictions of the competition rules, he came behind his opponent and just slapped his opponent on the back.
But at this time, his turning palm was directed towards Zhao Yan's tailbone!
Of course, the force is very fragile and can be broken off at the touch of a button, so it won't really hurt Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan's body naturally exploded with hair, and he sensed danger at his tailbone. He decisively used his shock kick to attack forward, avoiding Nie Shouren's palm.
The two turned around almost at the same time and faced each other again.
Nie Shouren looked at Zhao Yan in surprise and realized that he still underestimated this young man.
"Master Nie, why don't you try harder? I want to learn more about the power of Baguazhang."
Zhao Yan said with a sincere smile.
He didn't mean to provoke, and Nie Shouren could tell that, so he smiled and nodded:
"Okay, then be careful."
After the words fell, Nie Shouren's tailbone sank, and he assumed a posture of sitting back. Then the next second, he rushed towards Zhao Yan like a cannonball, sliding with his feet on the ground!
Zhao Yan felt as if the opponent had used a force to knock him out. The attack speed was faster than his [Shocking Kick]!
Nie Shouren rushed in front of Zhao Yan and struck Zhao Yan between the eyes with his palm, but this palm was just a feint. The real killing move was the palm he slapped on Zhao Yan's lower body.
However, if Zhao Yan didn't pay attention to the palm that inserted into the eye, the false move might become a real move.
Zhao Yan waved his hands up and down, and used his cloud hand in time to deflect Nie Shouren's attack.
When his left arm collided with the opponent's right hand that slapped his lower body, he immediately felt a strong force coming.
This is the secret power of Baguazhang, like a knife poking in!
Baguazhang is an internal martial art, and Nie Shouren first practiced An Jin and then Ming Jin. At this time, he used An Jin and showed his true skills.
Zhao Yan used silk-winding strength to resolve the opponent's dark strength.
"Tai Chi?"
Nie Shouren did not expect that Zhao Yan could also practice Tai Chi, and had also developed Tai Chi's silk-winding strength.
He failed to succeed with one move, so he immediately used his footwork and kept wandering around Zhao Yan. His palms flew in the air, and his moves never left Zhao Yan's body vitals:
Eyes, throat, ears, temples, vagina, back of head, tailbone...
Even if Zhao Yan had An Jin to protect his body, he would not dare to use these parts to withstand the opponent's An Jin.
Baguazhang is also called Bagua Youshenzhang. In fact, body skills are more important than palm skills. At this time, Nie Shouren really felt like oil was applied to the soles of Zhao Yan's feet.
So silky!
After Zhao Yan blocked more than a dozen moves with [Cloud Hand], he roughly figured out Nie Shouren's strength.
Although the opponent has mastered both Ming and Dark skills and can use them in actual combat, he probably hasn't reached the stage of playing "double tactics" yet, and is still only playing single tactics.
However, Nie Shouren was obviously trained by a famous teacher. Each move was strictly regulated, the moves were connected smoothly, and the fighting style was skillful, interlocking and continuous, leaving Zhao Yan with almost no chance to counterattack!
If he doesn't show his true skills, he will have no choice but to admit defeat in this competition.
Zhao Yan was certainly unwilling to admit defeat.
So he slammed into Nie Shouren with all his strength.
"snort!"
"ha--"
The sound of "hum" and "ha" exploded in Nie Shouren's ears, and then he was violently knocked out by an overwhelming force!
"Blow your breath! Light and dark become one?!"
Nie Shouren, who was hit so hard that half of his body was numb, looked at Zhao Yan in horror.
