What is true of ancient Chinese martial arts?

Ancient times did have martial arts, but they were completely different from Jet Li and Wu Jing.

Jet Li and Wu Jing belong to the champion of routine, in the words of Jet Li, it is to wear fists and embroider legs.

Martial arts routines are not much different from radio gymnastics or hip-hop, but are just a way for ancient martial arts practitioners to train their limbs for flexibility.

Does this thing work? The answer is no.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country has also studied the practical nature of routines, that is, you open your heart with a black tiger, and I go straight to the dragon with a move.

As a result, it is useless, even funny. There is time to pose, so it is better to punch it directly.

Look at this paragraph: in 1987, Mei Huizhi led the team to participate in the National Wushu Challenge Tournament in Wudang Mountain. This time, the scene was more lively than the Sanshou trial in Beijing. There were people dressed up as Wusong, monks and elders... the performance before the game was very frightening. Someone clapped an iron nail out of the board, but when he came on stage to fight, the man only got a kick and jumped out of the ring.

There is also a mysterious figure who climbed into the ring to ask for the competition. The local organizer asked him to sign up first, but he was refused, because he "dared not leave his name, and we will talk about it after the fight", and claimed that he had "no desire, no meat and fishy food". Seeing this situation, Mei Hui-Chih specially told the players not to kick the second foot, because if the first foot kicks a person down, the second foot will inevitably kick the head, which will cause these opponents who have no confrontation training to go into direct shock.

By comparison, Jackie Chan has some kung fu.

As we all know, Jackie Chan, who has studied Beijing Opera for 10 years, is a strong martial arts student in terms of groping and rolling.

Moreover, in those days, Beijing Opera martial arts students had to practice every day, and this is what the so-called hero can't beat Lai Opera, which means.

In fact, the ancient real martial arts are very simple moves, and there is no school difference.

In the 1920s, Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army lacked bayonets in close-range hand-to-hand combat and was forced to resort to hand-to-hand combat.

In order to win hand-to-hand combat, the Northwest Army specially invited many famous martial arts masters in the Northwest to conduct guidance.

These martial arts masters, like Huo Yuanjia, have real materials.

The strange thing is that the martial arts taught by these masters to the Northwest Army are extremely simple.

For example, with a big knife against bayonets, that is, the simplest knock and cut, even children seem to know it.

In addition, the Eighth Route Army is the same.

When the Eighth Route Army trained bayonets, it also consulted the national famous martial arts gun and stick masters. The instruction obtained is very simple, that is, a simple straight stab, but it requires a bayonet long enough, repeated contact, and must be fast and accurate.

Recruits training bayonet is a simple straight stab, practice it constantly, practice until the formation of muscle memory, can kill without thinking.

Let's see, what kind of martial arts is this? It doesn't have Jet Li's complicated routine at all!

But I tell you, this is what we need in the field.

In the war of resistance, the enemy and we faced each other, that is, to see who stabbed quickly and accurately, to see who had the longest bayonet, and the other moves were not fancy at all.

Is martial arts only like this in modern times?

No.

When Yu Dayou, a famous anti-Japanese general, visited the famous Shaolin Temple in the Ming Dynasty, he saw the performance of the gun stick and thought there was a problem.

Yu Ta-you believes that although Shaolin Temple is famous, after all, there has been no actual combat for as long as 100 years, and the skill of the gun stick is strong, but it is not practical.

But Shaolin monks do not believe, Yu Dayou let a few officers around the next field competition.

These officers are all in the first line of anti-Japanese, and they all practice a few simple martial arts, which are used in actual combat.

Unexpectedly, this seems to be a simple move, but Shaolin monks can't beat it.

Shaolin Temple knew that the actual combat of martial arts had become worse. Let several monks follow Yu Dayou to learn combat, which improved the actual combat of martial arts in the temple.

Then, Yu Dayou's officers simple pike straight stab, chopping and even the wolf to sweep, seems to be one or two tricks, even the mentally retarded will.

In fact, this is the most practical martial arts.

Jet Li's "Shaolin Temple" is said to have a box office of 100 million yuan. If it is released now, the box office can be 35 billion yuan!

Interestingly, Jet Li said this: "In fact, I began to blame myself after I was 30 years old. Why did I make this play at the beginning? I misled many teenagers to learn martial arts. They obviously haven't figured out what martial arts is."
