These people want to practice martial arts not because they have a deep passion for martial arts, but because they were bewitched by the movie Shaolin Temple and were carried away by their passion.
They were completely brainwashed by the fancy moves in the movies and thought they could acquire such skills after practicing for a while.
Wan Feng can say with certainty that such people accounted for 80% of the martial arts craze in the 1980s, and among the remaining 20%, those who were truly obsessed with and passionate about martial arts no more than 1%.
Therefore, after the martial arts craze has passed, less than one in a thousand people can actually stick with it.
Wan Feng couldn't judge whether this martial arts craze had any positive effects, but the negative effects were obvious.
In those years, various martial arts performances and competitions of all sizes were held across the country. In order to make the performance look good, martial arts were reformed into a mess. All the moves and actions that were originally used on the battlefield to defeat the opponent were changed into something weird. Martial arts actually became a dance. The most direct consequence was the creation of a large number of swindlers.
They cheat people everywhere under the banner of various martial arts.
What made Wan Feng speechless the most was the mess made by one of the so-called female masters.
With a smile on her face, she shook her whole body, and was able to make her disciples roll or fall several meters or even more than ten meters away with various fancy and suicidal moves that seriously violated the laws of gravity.
What Wan Feng couldn't understand was that she really didn't feel any pain in her conscience when she put on that kind of performance to deceive idiots in public. How thick-skinned was she to dare to put on such a show?
It is precisely because of the existence of these so-called masters who are deceiving others that martial arts has become a gimmick for people with ulterior motives to attack Chinese traditions.
Finally, there was an incident where a mediocre fighting athlete was challenging people everywhere.
If this person really wants to fight against counterfeiting, Wan Feng would agree, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this guy is supported by someone behind the scenes to discredit China's traditions.
The goal of undermining China's national confidence is to smear and slander China's traditional national quintessence, just like Westerners do not recognize China's history.
Your history spans countless thousands of years. How do you let us, the herbivorous barbarians, survive?
So they attack and slander China's history while fabricating their own history out of thin air.
To attack China's history is to attack the national quintessence passed down from history.
The outstanding cultural relics handed down by China are medicine, martial arts, calligraphy and painting, etc. However, before Wan Feng was reborn, the Chinese forums were full of people who criticized traditional Chinese medicine and martial arts, and there were even calligraphy masters who scribbled with their eyes closed.
Wan Feng doesn't know much about calligraphy, but at least he knows that cursive script can be divided into three schools: early cursive script, regular cursive script and current cursive script. But what school are these random chicken necks drawing?
Could it be the legendary grip grass?
And those calligraphers who write ugly calligraphy, are you sure you are not painting ugly calligraphy?
This seems to be getting further and further away the more I think about it.
Wan Feng quickly pulled his thoughts back from where he was tens of thousands of miles away.
"Master, these people are just curious and want to join in the fun. Their enthusiasm usually lasts about a year, and the longest is no more than three years. If you follow your idea that practicing boxing without practicing martial arts will lead to nothing in old age, and first practice horse stance well, I estimate that their enthusiasm for martial arts for a year will be exhausted in two months. It would be strange if they didn't run away if they had nothing to do but practice boring horse stance."
Li You was a little confused, and it seemed that what he said made sense.
"Xiao Wan, what would you do if it were you?"
"From now on, they can learn the routines as long as they can stand in horse stance for three minutes. First, pick a simple routine to teach them, and then teach them some fancy and useless things. It will be lively and everyone is happy."
It is impossible to get these people to stand in horse stance for an hour, but it is not difficult to stand for three minutes, and it will be almost there after a few days of practice.
"Is this even possible? Isn't this cheating? That's not how martial arts schools were run in the early days. Whether they learn or not is up to them, but we have to deliver something real."
"Master, times have changed. Haven't you seen how many old-fashioned things have been reformed? For those who truly love martial arts, you can teach them some real skills. But some students are just here for fun, so you can just fool around. You're right to listen to me."
There are many people who are just taking advantage of this craze to satisfy their curiosity. Once the trend is over, Xiao Lang will be a passerby from then on. It is true that for such students, people still think about how to make more money from them.
This cannot be said that we are deceiving others. They have no intention of learning to achieve good results. How can they say that others are deceiving them when they are fooling around themselves?
Wan Feng also knows that his thoughts are very negative, but this is the reality.
After guiding the master's thoughts, in order to win the hearts of these students, Wan Feng, the second senior brother, personally performed a set of martial arts moves.
Although it was freezing cold, I was wearing thick clothes, so rolling around in the snow a few times was no big deal.
After finishing the set of boxing, Wan Feng tried his hand with a few students. He asked three or four students to attack him, and he would fight back.
Wan Feng’s requirement for these people was to fight with real guns and bullets, and not to give him face.
It doesn't matter if I get hit a few times since I'm wearing thick clothes.
He fought back with a combination of kicking and wrestling, and of course he was not polite either. If he wanted to convince these people, he had to show them his real skills and let them experience his strength. This was not a performance.
With the combination of kicking and wrestling, it was not difficult for Wan Feng to deal with three or four people with similar physical conditions as himself. Therefore, after several fights, those three or four students were all knocked to the ground by him.
Afterwards, Wan Feng took turns trying his hand with several waves of students, and he did not fail once. This made his prestige soar in the hearts of the students.
"I started practicing boxing at the age of thirteen, and I've been practicing for nearly four years now. I believe that if you can persevere diligently, in three or four years, I can't say for sure if it will be more, but you will reach my level. Three or four ordinary people will not be your opponents at all. Do you have confidence?"
"Yes!" The students were excited.
"There's no shortcut to learning martial arts. A master can lead you in, but the practice is up to you. Only through diligent study and practice can you surpass the master. Do you remember this?"
“Remember!”
"Okay, now everyone can practice on their own. If you have any questions, you can ask the master."
Taking advantage of the opportunity when these students surrounded Li You and asked him questions, Wan Feng left. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon and he should go back to check.
Back in the workshop, Wan Feng's hot head from trying his hand in the boxing ring caught Zhang Xuan's attention.
"Going to practice boxing again?"
"No, my master has accepted some apprentices and I'm going to guide them."
"Look at what you're capable of, and you're even going to give some guidance. Hey! Does your master have any female disciples?"
What is this woman thinking?
