Chapter 28 Know Me
After returning home, Chen Chuan used the alarm clock to calculate the time he would spend with his second self.
Even though he didn't beat Coach Gu 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 1 minute and 30 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 actually no point in deepening my skills at this stage. Whether in fighting experience or fighting skills, I can't compare with those who are one step ahead.
You should take advantage of your "second self"'s fearlessness of injury and use all your strength to defeat your opponent at all costs within the overlap time. If you can defeat your opponent with one move, you don't need to use two. As for those shortcomings, you can find ways to make up for them after passing the re-examination.
He looked at his palm and clenched his fist.
Thanks to 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 daily progress.
At present, because the "second self" is almost the same as him, the higher his physical fitness is, the stronger the second self will be. There is still nearly a month left, and he can definitely improve his strength to a higher level.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you go to another boxing gym 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 it, 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 holding to broaden his horizons.
There was a boxing club that just met his requirements, and that was the "Fanlang Boxing Club" which was even more famous than Xiujiang Boxing in Yangzhi City.
"Fanlangquan" is apparently a type of boxing that focuses on wrestling, which is also the characteristic it promotes.
In fact, after coming into contact with fighting, he gradually realized that nowadays any fighting style is inclusive, and one cannot rely on any one type of boxing to survive. 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 others seeking 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 was indeed a lot of useful information in it, and he stayed there for the whole 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're running a business, so we should avoid offending anyone if possible. This guy is no ordinary guy. He's so young, yet he's already mastered the breathing technique. And you can tell from his appearance that he's experienced combat, even seen blood. Who knows where he'll go in the future? Consider it a favor."
The boxer curled his lips and thought to himself, "I've never seen you be so polite to others."
This is understandable. Boxing clubs also treat people differently. If you have no background and no strength, no one will bother you. But some people look difficult to mess with, and they may have backgrounds, so if you can avoid offending them, you should.
After Chen Chuan returned, he opened the booklet, which contained Coach Huang's own summary of fighting, mostly focusing on wrestling and hugging, and also mentioned how to deal with and counter the power of wrestling and hugging.
In fact, this is not a secret. Yu Gang has also talked about it in great detail. However, now looking at it from a different perspective, he has a new understanding.
Every day that followed, in addition to strengthening his training, he practiced free-hand fighting over and over again.
Don’t underestimate the simplicity of this basic set of 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 the strength could not be fully exerted and all the strength in his body could not be used.
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.
Yu Gang paused for a moment after hearing this and said, "You're experiencing this problem because you've progressed too quickly. It takes time for people to adapt. Your mind has adapted and become familiar with the techniques, but because your physical fitness has improved in all aspects, you feel a sense of disharmony the next day. This feeling is especially magnified by the breathing techniques."
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 wait for the peak to pass, or 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 relaxed 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 extremely small.
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 pace while maintaining his 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 leaving 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, young man!"
Chen Chuan looked up and saw a spiky-haired boy standing on the balcony railing of a residential building. He waved at him and said, "I was planning to come down to help you the other day. I said..." He bumped his fists and said eagerly, "Come up and let's have a fight, how about that?"
Chen Chuan paused, smiled, and said, "Okay."
The boy's eyes suddenly lit up.
Following the young man's instructions, Chen Chuan climbed up from a place on the wall where he could rest and soon reached the balcony. The young man 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 as if he was doubting his life.
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, rubbing his face and saying proudly, "It's quite complete, isn't it? An old man left it to me."
Chen Chuan noticed that there was a plaque on the reclining board that read "Made in the 60th year of Jianzhi." It was more than 30 years ago, so they were indeed old things, but they were still well maintained.
He asked, "Did you learn your boxing skills from him?"
Wei Dong said: "Yes, I practiced boxing according to his method every day. Later, when he passed away, he left all these things 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 noticed something at this moment. He stood up and walked over to a half-worn table. He picked up a reddish-brown student ID card and flipped through it. Suddenly, it seemed a bit coincidental, yet also seemed to make sense. He said, "Did you also take 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 school, and then I saw you passing by the alley down there every day."
Chen Chuan said, "Is that so?" He put his student ID card back. "The retest will be in two days. It looks like you'll be going, too."
"That's for sure!" Wei Dong threw two punches. "That old man said his greatest hope was to see his grandson get into Wuhan University. Even though I'm not his grandson, I can get in too, and I can be even better than him."
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!"
