Fang Lang on the side broke out in a sweat when he heard this. After all, I am now a rear admiral of the navy. If I need to do things myself, then my subordinates would be useless.
However, he certainly couldn't say that he couldn't use it now, so he could only nod his head quickly and said:
"Master is right. The last time I sparred with you, I was deeply shocked.
I want to take this opportunity to learn from Master!"
Upon hearing this, the old man nodded with satisfaction and said to Li Yunze:
"Then I'll leave it to Master Li."
Li Yun nodded to the old man and said:
"Don't worry, old man. I will never hide anything."
After both of them finished speaking, Li Xiangang on the side obviously remembered Fang Lang's question just now, and quietly walked to his father and said:
...
...
"Dad! Junior Brother Fang just asked me when these coaches you brought with you can officially enter the school as coaches.
I don’t know either, so I’ll tell you, Junior Brother, that’s up to you to decide.”
Upon hearing this, the master frowned and asked Fang Lang:
"Lang'er, what's wrong? Is the coaching matter urgent?"
Seeing the master's expression, Fang Lang smiled and said:
"It's not urgent. The main reason is that many schools for Chinese children have already started classes. I just want to ask when our martial arts classes can start at the earliest."
Li Yunze hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking:
"People say that it takes ten years to master Tai Chi, but two years to master the eighth level to kill someone. They think that the eighth level is a martial art that can be mastered quickly, but this is actually wrong.
If you really want to learn to the point where you can easily kill someone, two years of study alone is far from enough. You need to train your body and mind to a sufficient level. "
Fang Lang was shocked when he heard this. What he wanted was not to train everyone to be killers who could kill people in two years, but to have certain skills so that they would not be easily bullied.
If everyone could be trained to be a killer who could kill people within two years, everyone would start to be afraid of the Chinese.
Fang Lang coughed lightly and said:
"Master, wait a minute. I think you misunderstood.
We are offering martial arts classes in schools not to train every Chinese person to become a true martial arts master, but just to enable everyone to have a certain self-protection ability when facing threats.
Therefore, you do not need to provide too in-depth training for these elementary school martial arts coaches.
All we need is to lay a good foundation for primary school students.
In addition to martial arts classes, our students also need to take cultural classes, so each martial arts class will not be very long.
But their total study time is definitely more than two years.
It would be best if you could set a unified standard for these coaches. For example, elementary school lasts for six years. What should these teenagers who learn Bajiquan learn in each of these six years, and what level should they reach by the time they graduate from elementary school?
Junior high school lasts for three years. By the time they graduate from junior high school, the teenagers who have studied Bajiquan for nine years must have sufficient self-defense capabilities.
Because our primary education is only nine years.
There may be many people who, after studying for nine years, will enter the society to work and stop studying.
And we must ensure that they have sufficient self-protection capabilities.
Of course, with so many people learning Bajiquan, there will definitely be some who will be able to persevere and stand out.
As for this group of people, we can send them to your gym for more in-depth learning, until they completely master the mysteries of Bajiquan and become true Bajiquan masters.
Finally, through continuous practical training from these masters, everyone can go a step further and become qualified to represent Bajiquan in competitions, or even go to other places to open new Bajiquan gyms.
"The seeds that will carry forward the Bajiquan gym. Do you understand what I mean?"
Everyone in the room understood what Fang Lang meant. Li Yunze obviously did not expect that Fang Lang's ambition would be so big. If he did as Fang Lang said.
All the young generation of Chinese in Brazil will become successors of Bajiquan.
Under this situation, even if there is one student with talent for Bajiquan among every thousand people, their Bajiquan style will truly flourish.
He will accomplish a feat that has never been accomplished before.
Thinking of this, Li Yun said excitedly:
"I understand what you mean. You divide Bajiquan into three levels: elementary, intermediate, and advanced.
Mastering the elementary level eight boxing during primary school to junior high school will enable you to protect yourself.
After junior high school, through further study, he mastered intermediate Bajiquan and became a formal successor of Bajiquan.
Then, these descendants who have mastered the intermediate level of Bajiquan, after continuous confrontational training and competitions, will eventually become true eighth-level masters who can represent Bajiquan in competitions or open a gym.”
Fang Lang heard this and said with a smile:
“Yes, that’s roughly what I meant, but it doesn’t mean that there are only three levels.
If we want to make everyone more interested in learning, we can further subdivide the three levels and divide each level into three small levels.
In this way, it can be divided into nine levels, and after everyone gets a level of evaluation, they will be more eager to get the next level.
When people compare themselves with each other, they will be more eager to obtain a higher level of evaluation.
This way everyone will be more motivated.”
At this time, Li Yunze admired his new disciple even more. He was not a pedantic person, and his traditional thinking was different from many other martial artists.
Although he was reluctant to teach his Bajiquan to foreigners, he had no psychological barriers to teaching it to Chinese people.
So without hesitation:
"No problem, we'll do whatever you say.
If you can really help me promote Bajiquan, my ancestors will definitely be very grateful to you."
Then he changed his mind as if he had thought of something, and said:
“But if so many people learn Bajiquan, will some of them do evil things after learning it?
Wouldn't it ruin the reputation of our Bajiquan?"
Fang Lang smiled and said:
"Master, you are worrying too much. There is no good or bad Kung Fu, only good or bad people.
We cannot guarantee that everyone who learns Bajiquan is a good person.
But at the same time, we cannot give up promoting Bajiquan because of the fear that someone will do evil.
Of course, the master's concerns are reasonable, but we can reduce the proportion of evil deeds by promoting martial virtues to all martial artists."
In fact, everyone understands that people who have not learned any martial arts can be guaranteed not to do evil.
As for the fact that the reputation of a martial art would be ruined just because it was used to commit evil, it is even less likely.
Therefore, Li Yunze's worries were completely unnecessary.
"That's fine, Master. You can handle matters of this level on your own!"
Fang Lang heard this and waved his hand quickly:
"Master, this won't work. I haven't even started learning Bajiquan yet, how can I set the rating right away?
How Bajiquan is divided into specific levels, what level it reaches, and what level it can be classified into, all need to be decided by you, the master.
Of course, we should not directly use names such as elementary, intermediate, and advanced.
I heard that our national martial arts Xingyiquan is divided into three levels, Mingjin, Anjin and Huajin. Then can Bajiquan also learn from Xingyiquan, or even directly divide the levels into Mingjin level 1 and Mingjin level 2?"
Li Yunze didn't expect Fang Lang to have such insight. After hearing this, he pondered for a long time before saying:
“What you said makes sense, I think this method is very good.
I can consult with masters from other schools, and we can discuss together to determine the level of this martial art so that it can be passed down."
"Also, Master, we don't just have to assess a simple grade, we also have to give different labels to each grade, and it would be best if they could be clearly distinguished through clothing.
Each time a level is reached, he can be awarded a different level of identification, such as a belt of a different color around the waist, or an armband of a different color on the arm to indicate everyone's identity.
When a person of lower status sees a person of higher status, he must first salute the other person to show his higher status sense of honor. "
In fact, what Fang Lang said is the level classification of Taekwondo and Karate that is very common in later generations.
Of course, Taekwondo had not yet appeared at that time. It was not until 1955 that Choi Hong-hi from South Korea formally proposed the term Taekwondo.
The history of karate is obviously earlier than that of taekwondo. What’s interesting is that both taekwondo and karate were called the same name “Tang Shou” in the beginning.
As for why it is called this name, the reason is well known.
"Oh! I know what you're talking about. Isn't it the Japanese karate?"
"Yes, that's right. Although the Japanese as a race are very bad, we can't deny everything about them just because we hate this race.
At the very least, they have come up with many very good methods to spread karate to the outside world. Can't we just refer to them and learn from them?
Of course, in addition to these, we can also create files for each college and issue them formal grade certificates.
To obtain advanced or higher level certificates, one must go to our Bajiquan headquarters for assessment.
Low-level certificates must also be managed uniformly by us. Of course, we can also authorize boxing gyms or coaches that have reached a certain level to have the right to be rated.
However, the level cannot be determined by a single person. A rating committee must be formed locally. Only when everyone agrees can the assessor be awarded the corresponding level.
This is the only way to ensure that the corresponding level is truly awarded to those who have reached that level of strength."
After all, Fang Lang is a person from the future. Although he has never learned Taekwondo or Karate, he has had some contact with them to a certain extent.
These things have been verified by countless people in later generations and are indeed effective methods.
Of course, you have to borrow it directly.
Li Yunze glanced at Fang Lang hesitantly and said:
"But, this is not a huge investment. We don't have that much capital!"
Fang Lang was stunned when he heard this. This was indeed true. Just to maintain such a system, a lot of full-time staff would be needed.
The salaries of these people are not a small amount.
What's more, in order to promote it, we also need to publicize it, organize competitions, and give out bonuses.
These do require capital, and it is definitely not possible to survive on your own with the investment in a Bajiquan gym.
But he soon thought of a solution.
He smiled and said:
"Don't worry, we can set up a Bajiquan Association, and all coaches and boxing gyms must be carefully reviewed by the association.
In order to obtain these certifications, you must pay a certain amount of membership fees every year.
At the same time, when each person is conducting their own level improvement assessment, a certain test fee can also be charged. Of course, the fee does not need to be high, as long as it can cover the cost of our rating.
In addition, after passing each level exam, you must replace it with a higher-level logo. This logo can be produced and certified with our consent. To replace this logo, you must purchase it with your own money, and we can make a certain profit from this.
In addition, we can produce and manufacture special training clothes and equipment for Bajiquan, and then sell them to people who are learning.
Finally, we can organize professional competitions, and we can charge a certain fee from all participating athletes or boxing gyms.
These are the profits we can earn, which are enough to maintain the normal operation of the association.”
