Jiangbei, Cuiyuan New Village.

The buildings here are densely packed, and most of them are old.

There is a playground in the center. Although it is small, it is full of greenery.

A group of children were chasing and playing on the sand, kicking a ball.

Several old people were showing off their Sun and playing the erhu with great pleasure.

Surrounded by Rebar Cement, it is very precious to have a space to relax and stop.

In the other corner, someone is practicing the Tai Chi routine.

"When A Cheng, Wild Horse Parts Its Mane steps out, be sure to lift your knees and sink your hips, and pay attention to the distance between your steps."

"Grasp the Sparrow's Tail is one of the master postures of Tai Chi. The purpose is to neutralize the opponent's power. You need to experience more changes in the rotation of the body's center of gravity..."

"This move Flash Through the Arms is very good, but you must also pay attention to using it flexibly with the next Move, Block, Parry and Punch...

Fang Cheng looked calm, raised his hands and waved his hands, raised his knees and stepped forward, performing the Tai Chi moves in a stylish manner.

Wu Datong stood aside and watched, and when he found problems that needed to be corrected, he stopped and gave him some advice.

Wait for the completion of a set of twenty-four postures Ma Family Tai Chi.

Wu Datong finally concluded:

"The key to Tai Chi is to calm the mind and relax the body, guide the body with the mind, follow it up and down, and let the energy sink Dantian."

"The training method to be followed is to practice theory but not strength, practice basics but not standard, and practice body but not moves."

"A Cheng, when you first start practicing, don't work too hard, and don't be too rigid about the moves themselves. As long as you truly understand this, you're good at it."

Fang Cheng nodded slightly when he heard the words, understanding in his heart.

The method taught by Wu Datong is, in the final analysis, the pursuit of mastering the Exert Force method of using Tai Chi to overcome hardness with softness.

In fact, this is true for all martial arts routines.

By constantly practicing the fixed moves and repeatedly figuring out Principles of Boxing, you can master them and use them in actual combat as you wish.

This is the real way to play!

"As for getting started, your focus should be on practicing with Breathing Technique, pursuing Unity of Intent and Qi, and capturing that innate Qi Mechanism, which is what Professor Wu calls Life Energy..."

Fang Cheng picked up Mineral Water, took a sip, and listened intently to the teachings.

Because Tianxin Village is a little far away from Old Factory Street.

Usually Wu Datong teaches some Basic Skills instead and guides the exercises.

There is a small playground behind his house, which has a nice environment and is suitable for use as a training ground.

"A Cheng, Lao Wu, you are finally done!"

While the two were talking, a rough and thick voice suddenly sounded and intervened.

"Now, can you play a game with me and learn about Boxing's skills?"

Ma Donghe, who was just bored and squatting aside, now stood up and walked over in a swaggering way.

Fang Cheng was slightly speechless and looked at him:

"Why do you box when you look like this? Do you want me to be accused of beating a disabled person?"

Ma Donghe smiled heartily:

"It's okay, my body is very strong, feel free to take action."

His injured right arm has had its Plaster removed, and he is wearing the Splint protective gear according to the doctor's instructions as a rehabilitation protection, so he can move much more freely.

Fang Cheng still shook his head, not interested in bullying a half-crippled guy.

He said that he can stay with him at any time when he fully recovers.

Since meeting again at the party that day, Ma Donghe seems to be very interested in Fang Cheng, and often comes to play with him whenever he has nothing to do.

It has to be said that this guy who is as strong as a bear, Physical Quality, has some signs of being inhuman, and his recovery speed from injuries is much faster than that of a normal person.

"How about you two play Tai Chi Push Hands and see who can knock whom down first?"

Wu Datong said something at this time.

Fang Cheng heard this and immediately became interested.

Push Hands is the unique sparring form of Tai Chi.

The purpose is to train fighting techniques and practice martial arts without harming the opponent's body.

Ma Donghe has been recuperating for more than half a month, and his body bones are almost rusty.

When I heard this suggestion, I naturally agreed immediately. It would be good to be able to stretch my muscles a little.

In view of the fact that his right arm has not yet recovered, Fang Cheng chose to play singles with him Push Hands.

The two stood still, each raised their left hands and put them together.

As Wu Datong shouted "Start", their eyes instantly froze.

Ma Donghe quickly struck out, pushing his wrist forward, pressing Fang Cheng's arm and pressing down on his head to attack.

Fang Cheng followed his downward pressure and turned his body slightly to one side.

While neutralizing the attack, he stroked Ma Donghe with his palm, trying to bring him down.

Ma Donghe's reaction was not slow. When he saw the situation, he immediately came closer like a dog-skin plaster.

The pressure brought by the huge body made Fang Cheng almost step back.

Ma Donghe has been learning Tai Chi since he was a child. He cannot be said to be good at this, but at least he is very skilled in the use of various basic techniques.

Fang Cheng twisted his waist and lowered his crotch, and then forced his body to stay in place.

Although at this time, he could use more strength to knock down his opponent directly with his arms crossed.

However, this kind of gameplay is a shameless method and is obviously inferior.

Push Hands can be said to be a purely technical sport.

There is no mistake, every song is published and every content is read one by one!

Pursue using skills to change the opponent's offensive power point, creating a situation where I am submissive to others, so as to defeat the opponent at the minimum cost.

If you can only use brute force, there is no need to learn any Combat technique.

Fang Cheng's eyes were calm and he entered a state of concentration.

All the noise in my ears, the children's laughter, and the harsh sound of the erhu gradually faded away and disappeared.

Only the guy standing in front of him was as strong as a bear.

Fang Cheng stared intently, silently feeling the power transmitted from his arms.

This force is sometimes large, sometimes small, and constantly changing direction.

It seems to be drawing irregular circles.

Tai Chi Eight Methods, pinch, stroke, squeeze, press, pick, push, elbow, lean.

It's like a wall, it's like a morning glory, it's like a morning glory, it's like a morning glory, it's like a wall, it's like a morning glory, it's like a wall, it's like a morning glory.

Like a slideshow, various Exert Force techniques taught by Professor Wu Datong flashed through Fang Cheng's mind.

Gradually, these techniques were completely integrated into Push Hands.

Then, the opponent in front of him seemed to disappear.

Fang Cheng is completely immersed in this wonderful state of feeling power, dissolving power, and releasing power.

Hold your left hand horizontally in front of your body and continuously draw large or small circles one after another.

These circles rotate with the oncoming circles, like ripples on the water, constantly colliding and blending...

suddenly.

Fang Cheng's pupils shrank, catching the fleeting circular gap.

Immediately, he shook his arms and squeezed, widening the gap.

Even using his own circle to completely devour the opponent's circle.

"Ah!"

There was a loud exclamation, and a figure as huge as a bear fell out.

Fang Cheng also broke away from the state of concentration in an instant and looked intently.

I saw Ma Donghe staggering, supporting the ground with his hands, and turned around in shock:

"What kind of weird move are you doing? It looks like wrestling. It doesn't belong to Tai Chi Eight Methods?"

"I'm sorry, the posture you just put on was so seductive, I couldn't help but use this trick."

Fang Cheng smiled, stopped his hands and stood still.

No one stipulates how Tai Chi must be used to be authentic, as long as it meets the basic Principles of Boxing of "Receive-Transform-Discharge".

Real fighting always emphasizes using no moves but some moves to exceed the enemy's prediction.

If Tai Chi is used in actual combat, naturally it cannot be completely limited to Tai Chi Eight Methods.

At this time, Panel flashed with light, and a Prompt Information appeared in front of us.

[Congratulations, you have initially understood the concept of Fist Technique and successfully mastered one Combat Skills]

[Solution to Locking Techniques: Tai Chi lv0(0/100)]
