Chapter 28 Know Me
Chapter 28 Know Me
After returning home, Chen Chuan used the alarm clock to calculate the time of his reunion with the second self.
Even though he didn't beat Coach Gu in the end this time, he was still very satisfied with it, so he felt that he should have improved a lot.
The result did give him a surprise, the overlapping time was increased by more than 20 seconds compared to the original value.
In a fight, one second can actually decide a lot of things. The improvement of more than 20 seconds made the total overlapping time exceed one minute and thirty seconds, which made him more confident of passing the re-examination.
He stood up from the edge of the bed and looked out the window. Through the previous battle, he also confirmed the path he should take.
There is no point in improving my skills at this stage. Now, I cannot compare with those who are one step ahead in terms of fighting experience or fighting skills.
You should make good use of the advantage of your "second self" that is not afraid of damage, and use all your strength to knock down your opponent at all costs during the overlapping time. If you can use one move, you don't need to use two moves. As for those shortcomings, you can wait until you pass the re-examination and then find a way to make up for it.
He looked at his palm and clenched his fist.
With his unremitting efforts, he can now maintain the breathing method for longer and longer periods of time. With the long-term promotion and maintenance of the breathing method, he can clearly feel his own progress every day.
At present, because the "second me" is almost the same as him, the higher his physical fitness, the stronger the second me will be. And there is nearly a month left, so he can definitely improve his strength to a higher level.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you go to other boxing gyms or not. What’s important is to strengthen basic training.
However, from the student information provided by Wuyi Academy, he noticed that three out of the five were good at wrestling, so he might encounter such opponents in the re-examination.
He was actually a little weak in wrestling and choking techniques, and he didn't have the time to take care of them, so it was inevitable that there would be some shortcomings. Therefore, he decided to go to a boxing club that was good at wrestling and choking to broaden his horizons.
There was a boxing club that just met his requirements, and that was the "Fanlang Boxing Club" in Yangzhi City, whose reputation was even higher than that of Xiujiang Boxing.
On the surface, "Fanlangquan" is a style of boxing that mainly relies on wrestling, which is also the characteristic it promotes.
In fact, after coming into contact with fighting, he gradually realized that nowadays all fighting styles are inclusive, and one cannot rely on just one type of boxing to make it to the end. Those who practice wrestling and hugging must also practice boxing and kicking, and those who practice boxing and kicking also practice wrestling and hugging.
Just like the Xiu Jiang Quan Club, Coach Gu uses many improved moves, which are completely different from the original Xiu Jiang Quan.
Fanlangquan has a pretty good reputation and is happy to accept visits from others for advice, so the next day, after finishing his training at the Boxing Home, he came to this boxing gym located in Wangyang District in the east of the city.
The resident coach of Fanlang Boxing Gym was very cautious. When he heard that he wanted to learn some wrestling and grappling techniques, he did not go to the ring to compete with him. Instead, he personally demonstrated to him many of the characteristics of Fanlang Boxing. There were indeed a lot of useful information in it, and he stayed here for an entire afternoon without realizing it.
Before leaving, the coach gave him a booklet he had recorded himself and told him that if necessary, he could ask the students in his boxing club to cooperate with him in training, which would also be free for one week. After a week, as long as the money was in place, it would be okay for the coach to train with him every day.
Although Chen Chuan did not get to spar with anyone, he felt that his trip was not in vain. After expressing his sincere gratitude, he said goodbye and left. The coach also politely saw him out.
A senior boxer in the gym was puzzled by this and asked, "Coach Huang, why are you taking such good care of this guy?"
Coach Huang said, "We are doing business, so we should not offend anyone if we can. This guy is no ordinary man. He has mastered the breathing technique at such a young age. And you can tell from his appearance that he has experienced actual combat, and even seen blood. Who knows how far he can go in the future? Just consider it as a favor to him."
The boxer curled his lips and thought, "I've never seen you be so polite to others."
Of course, the boxing clubs also treat people differently. If you don't have a background or strength, no one will bother you. But some people look difficult to mess with, and they may have a background, so you should avoid offending them if you can.
After Chen Chuan returned, he opened the booklet, which contained Coach Huang's own summary of fighting, most of which was biased towards wrestling and hugging, and also mentioned how to deal with and resist wrestling-type power.
In fact, this is not a secret. Yu Gang has also talked about it in detail, but now looking at it from a different perspective, he has a new understanding.
Every day that followed, in addition to intensifying his training, he practiced free-hand fighting over and over again.
Don’t underestimate this set of basic moves; the more you practice, the more you’ll feel there is room for improvement.
But in recent days, he always felt that he could do better, but he didn't know if there was something wrong. Although he did the moves and the strength correctly, there was always a feeling of disharmony, as if his strength could not be fully exerted and he could not use all his strength.
Especially after mastering the Shocking Fist, this feeling becomes more obvious.
Because this problem could not be solved, he specifically asked Yu Gang for advice one afternoon.
After listening to what Yu Gang said, he paused for a moment and said, "The reason you have this problem is actually because you have improved too quickly. People have an adaptation process. Your consciousness has adapted and become familiar with the moves, but because your physical fitness has improved in all aspects, you feel out of harmony the next day. Especially with the breathing method, this feeling is magnified."
Chen Chuan was a little surprised, "Is that so..." Yu Gang said: "This is also normal. I have said before that if you maintain the breathing method for a long time, at a certain stage, there will be a long period of improvement. You are obviously in this stage.
During this period, you will have this feeling. Either you wait for the peak to pass, or you strengthen your training and use your talents to adapt to this change.
This is actually a good thing. My suggestion is that during this stage of practice, you don’t need to pursue explosive power and speed. You can adopt a more soothing rhythm between moves, take each move slowly, and feel the participation of every part of your body.
During this process, remember to maintain the breathing method and never relax at any time. Without the breathing method, it is just a fitness exercise and the effect is minimal. "
After hearing this, Chen Chuan finally knew how to solve the problem. After thanking Yu Gang, he turned around and followed the latter's instructions, slowing down his own pace while maintaining the breathing method.
After training like this for a few days, he indeed felt that the disharmony was slowly disappearing. Until the last two days before the re-examination, he seemed to have complete control over his body again.
However, this does not mean that his progress has stopped. On the contrary, he has made further progress than before.
After he left the Boxing House that day, he ran all the way and soon arrived at the place where he was attacked that day. The traces of the fight were still there after so many days. After taking a quick look, he quickly ran over. Suddenly, he heard a shout from above: "Hey, this guy!"
Chen Chuan looked up and saw a hedgehog-haired boy standing on the balcony fence of a residential building. He waved at him and said, "I was planning to come down to help you that day, I said..." He bumped his fists and said eagerly, "Come up, how about we have a fight?"
Chen Chuan stopped, smiled, and said, "Okay."
The boy's eyes suddenly lit up.
Following the boy's instructions, Chen Chuan climbed up from a place on the wall where he could stand, and soon he was on the balcony. The boy extended his fist in a friendly manner and said, "My name is Weidong, what's yours, little brother?"
Chen Chuan also bumped his fist with him and said, "Chen Chuan."
Wei Dong couldn't wait to say: "Let's go to the rooftop. It's a big place there and no one will disturb us. Let's compete there." He waved his hand and led the way.
Chen Chuan followed him out of the room and reached the top floor through an external steel staircase. Before he could observe the environment, Wei Dong rushed towards him excitedly.
When Chen Chuan saw him coming, he raised his foot and kicked him out.
Two minutes later.
Wei Dong was lying on the ground with a bruised face and nose, looking at the sky in doubt.
Chen Chuan sat aside, looked around, and said, "You have quite a complete range of exercise equipment here."
Wei Dong sat up from the ground. He rubbed his face and said proudly, "It's quite complete, right? An old man left it to me."
Chen Chuan noticed that there was a plaque on the reclining board with the words "Made in the 60th year of Jianzhi" engraved on it. It was more than 30 years ago, so they were indeed old things, but they were still well maintained.
He asked, "Did you learn boxing from him?"
Wei Dong said: "Yes, I practiced boxing according to his method every day. Later, he passed away and left all these to me. Now that I think about it, he told me the most that I looked like his grandson. In fact, I have seen photos of his grandson, and I don't look like him at all."
Chen Chuan saw something at this time. He stood up and walked to a half-worn table. He picked up a reddish-brown student certificate from there and flipped through it. Suddenly, he felt that it was a coincidence, but it seemed reasonable. He said, "You also took the Wuyi University entrance exam this year?"
"Yeah, didn't I tell you?" Wei Dong scratched his head and said, "I saw you there on the first day I went to register for the entrance exam, and then I saw you passing by the alley down there every day."
Chen Chuanshuo said, "Is that so?" He put his student ID card back. "The retest will be in two days. It looks like you will go too."
"That's for sure!" Wei Dong threw two fists outward. "That old man said his greatest hope is to see his grandson admitted to Wuhan University. Although I'm not his grandson, I can also be admitted, and I can be better than his grandson."
Chen Chuan looked at him, nodded, put his student ID back on the table, and walked out, waving his hand, "Then Brother Wei, we'll see you at Wuhan University."
"Okay, Brother Chen, see you at Wuhan University!"
