Ip Man held several newspapers in his hand, which contained photos from the last [Mixed Martial Arts] competition, as well as many photos and reports about [Wing Chun Zhang Tianzhi].
This was what he got at the door when he got inside.
There is a row of newspaper shelves at the door, which are filled with promotional newspapers and introductions to Wing Chun.
I heard people say it is to make it easier for new people to get to know each other.
There was a line of text next to a photo of Zhang Tianzhi wearing a black and gray Tang suit and showing off his arms.
[Zhang Tianzhi ascends to the martial arts world with great momentum]!
Below is the reporter's polish, describing the process of this competition.
Another picture,
It was a scene of Zhang Tianzhi pressing a martial artist on the table.
[Winning consecutive battles in Wing Chun, Zhang Tianzhi became famous]! !
This time, there is an introduction to Zhang Tianzhi’s life.
At what age did you start practicing martial arts, achieve the above results, when did you become the master of a gym, etc...
When Ip Man saw Zhang Tianzhi's life story, he thought to himself: "Could he be from that lineage??!"
Then I scrolled back and the words [Martial arts upstart: Wing Chun Zhang Tianzhi] appeared.
"Three axes, Tan, Wing, and Fu, sweeping across all major sects..."
Probably because Ye Wen had been standing there for a long time, a disciple wearing a white Kung Fu uniform came over.
"Hello, sir, do you want to come and learn boxing?"
This disciple smiled enthusiastically: "Our gym leader, he has won the top five in the [Mixed Martial Arts] competition for two consecutive years. In the second time, he won the third place!!"
Ye Wen asked curiously: "Oh? Who is the first and second?"
The disciple looked at Ip Man strangely: "This friend just arrived in Hong Kong Island, right?!"
Ye Wen's heart moved: "How did the little brother see it?"
The disciple smiled: "Because, there is no one in Hong Kong who doesn't know about the [Mixed Martial Arts] competition. The second place is Brother Dao, and the first place is naturally Mr. Hong. He has been first for two consecutive years!! "
"It's just a pity that [Baji: Xia Weipeng], he was the runner-up in the first session! But he didn't participate in the second session. It's such a pity!! Otherwise, we could have seen our gym owner competing with him. Got it!!”
Ye Wen heard the regret in this disciple's tone, and it was true.
Inwardly surprised.
Why does this disciple look so worried that the world will not be in chaos? ?
Do you really expect your master to fight with others? ?
Furthermore, Ye Wen's impression of this Zhang Tianzhi was not very good. Coupled with the previous publicity photos in newspapers, he felt that this Zhang Tianzhi should be a competitive and ruthless person, even the disciples he taught were like this.
Although Ye Wen himself is very good at kung fu, he has always been able to eat and drink without worrying about food and drink. His personality is not the kind of domineering person who must overwhelm anyone, and he has always disliked people who fight harshly.
As he said before,
“We won’t teach anyone how to dance dragon or lion dance!”
Ye Wen suppressed the lecture and said, "I wonder if your master is here? I want to visit him."
"Master? I don't have a master?!" The disciple looked strange.
"Uh... Master Zhang Tianzhi, he is not you..."
"Oh! You are talking about our gym owner!" The disciple suddenly realized, "The gym owner is not my master. We only have coaches and students here, and there are only two people who are actually accepted as disciples by the gym owner."
Ye Wen was stunned. It turned out that he had misunderstood.
He studied in Hong Kong Island in his early years and understood that the relationship between a coach and his students is different from that between a master and his apprentice.
But when he came in, he glanced around at the practicing disciples and found that they were indeed practicing [Little Thoughts]!
What's going on?
Under the disciple's explanation, Ye Wen finally understood.
After entering this martial arts gym, as long as you pay the tuition, you can learn the basic boxing routines - [Little Thoughts]. You only need to maintain respect for the instructor without having to kowtow to the teacher.
Then Master Zhang Tianzhi will spend one day a week to answer the students' doubts.
If you are talented, you can also learn [Six-and-a-half Stick] and [Xunqiao], but [Eight-Zhan Sword] and [Biao Zhi] will not be taught to non-real apprentices.
Moreover, students who have learned intermediate boxing routines can also serve as coaches in the martial arts gym if they wish, and Zhang Tianzhi will be responsible for paying their salaries.
However, the disciple told Ye Wen that the real good thing was the secret medicine in the hands of the master, which could assist in martial arts practice.
Ip Man knew that he often had to take medicinal baths when he was a child.
Then, Ye Wen thought about how when he was in Foshan, facing the invasion of the Neon Nation soldiers, he also taught kung fu to the cotton mill workers.
Thinking about it this way, what Master Zhang Tianzhi did was not out of the ordinary.
From what this disciple said, there are only two or three true disciples.
"Master Zhang's way of spreading martial arts is really opening up the world of martial arts, which is something ordinary people can't even imagine!"
Unexpectedly, the disciple laughed: "This is not what our gym owner thought, but the standard set by Mr. Hong, saying that this can better develop martial arts."
"Moreover, in this way, a person can join many martial arts schools and learn the kung fu of various schools."
"If there are people with that extraordinary talent, it will be easier to innovate!"
"Mr. Hong?!" This was the name Ye Wen heard most today.
Along the way, many people have mentioned this title.
It was all mentioned with respect.
This made him a little curious about this "Mr. Hong" whom he had never met before.
However, let’s do our own things first!
Ye Wen cupped his fists and said, "Ip Man, could you please inform your host that I would like to pay a visit."
"Okay, just wait a moment!"
…
The second floor of the martial arts hall.
Zhang Tianzhi was talking to Hong Kang.
The two chatted happily.
"Mr. Hong, I'm so envious that you are already half-adult!"
There was unabashed admiration in Zhang Tianzhi's tone.
After these three years, Hong Kang has mastered the combined power of [Ming Gang] and [Ming Rou].
In the past, this could be said to have entered the stage of transforming energy.
However, Hong Kang felt that this was not the real transformation of energy!
According to Hong Kang's inference, when he can truly combine the bright and the soft, the dark and the soft at the same time, that will be the time when he can truly understand everything! !
"Master Zhang, thank you for your praise. With your enthusiasm, you will be able to reach my current level in a few years."
"In the past few years, I have competed with various masters in martial arts to hone myself, and I have only reached the peak of my strength." Zhang Tianzhi said, "Mr. Hong's help is indispensable in this process."
"We are warriors. Warriors pay attention to keeping their fists in hand. We can improve each other by comparing each other. Why not do it??!"
What Hong Kang said: "And from Master Zhang, I also learned the [Wing Chun] Listening to the Bridge Kungfu, and I benefited a lot!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
There was a knock on the door.
Zhang Tianzhi asked: "What's going on?"
The disciple outside said: "Master, there is a Mr. Ye outside who wants to visit you."
"Mr. Ye? I don't know anyone named Ye?" Zhang Tianzhi said, "Did he say his name?"
"He said his name is Ip Man."
Zhang Tianzhi's eyes suddenly froze, and his face became serious.
"Ip man?!!"
…
