Chapter 20: Spinal Expansion and Retraction, Martial Arts Proverbs on Relaxation



Coach Gu Yang, can you practice your true understanding of this move for me? Use your own skills. "Su Jie wanted to see Gu Yang's true understanding of the" hoe "move.

Gu Yang didn't refuse either. He picked up his hoe and let it fall together for more than ten times in a row. The whole piece of land was flipped up, just like the movements he taught people before, but the artistic conception was very different.

Su Jie had a strange feeling in his heart that every time the ancient ocean rose and fell, it was definitely not the kind of atmosphere of hating the heavens without a handle or hating the earth without a ring, but rather digging for treasures.

In the soil, there exists a treasure. Gu Yang is digging up wealth from it with his heart, obtaining physical satisfaction as well as inner satisfaction.

This is a form of self-reliance.

Do you understand? "Gu Yang gently put down the hoe.

I understand a bit, but I still need to ponder, "Su Jie thought seriously.

That's it. For the next month, I will teach you various martial arts routines. If you don't want to practice, you can do it yourself. What you have now is more than enough to practice for ten or eight years. "Gu Yang turned around and left.

This hoe move can indeed be practiced for a lifetime, "Su Jie nodded.

Coach Oudeli told me that this hoe and hoe martial arts move is like a computer, every movement is precise and error free. Blind Uncle's move is eerie, and I don't know where he pounced from. And Gu Yang's move has a satisfying style

Following behind Gu Yang, Su Zhen was really pondering repeatedly.

This move is really interesting.

Each expert, although performing the same action, has different understandings and ideas about this move, resulting in different powers, styles, and improvements in physical fitness. Besides physical exercise, the most important aspect of physical fitness is mindset.

If a person is consistently depressed and has a dark heart, their endocrine system will be disrupted, leading to poor health. And if a person is happy all year round, their health will definitely be very good and they will live a long life.

This is a fundamental theoretical knowledge.

The mindset taught by Oudeli is "hate" and "ruthlessness", while Gu Yang's mindset is the satisfaction of "self-reliance". The strength of the moves is the same, but the mentality is different when practicing, and the results will be different in the future.

But Su Jie understood that Gu Yang's mind technique was used for health preservation and labor, soothing the body and mind while exercising the muscles and bones. And Oudeli's mindset is entirely focused on fighting and physical combat.

Both are important and should be practiced alternately.

Suddenly, two words came to Su Jie's mind, which were "yin and yang".

Originally, at his age, he would not have understood the ancient Chinese mystical principles of yin and yang and the five elements. But now, through the technique of "hoeing the hoe", he has realized that yin and yang, both positive and negative, are indispensable.

The ancient wisdom of China, the way of yin and yang, is hidden in daily life. When encountering selective difficulties, we can find solutions from them. For example, whether I choose to use Gu Yang's mind technique or Coach Oudeli's mind technique now, if we think from the perspective of yin and yang balance, we need to practice both. However, we still need to adhere to a scientific attitude. For example, when I practice with ruthlessness and hatred, what is the state of hormones and hormones in my body, and when I practice with a satisfied and self-sufficient attitude, what is the secretion in my body

Su Jie pondered many things in his mind, and he wanted to go back and read more about the Book of Changes to understand the ancient Yin Yang and Five Elements metaphysics, as well as ancient Chinese philosophy. At the same time, he also wants to study the most advanced life sciences, human anatomy, neurology, and endocrinology.

Practicing martial arts is actually an exploration of the mysteries of life, but those who practice martial arts do not conduct systematic research. If you want to uncover the secrets of life, you must do it through scientific analysis. I have decided whether to attend university or study medicine, a research industry in the field of life sciences. As for professional combat, it cannot truly enhance human potential, only science can. "Su Jie's heart was filled with determination.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Of course, one cannot slack off in practicing martial arts. The body is the capital of all careers, and if I want to conduct research in life sciences, I am also a good reference. I will not learn Coach Gu Yang's routine practice. It is not that the routine is bad, but I need to practice the basic skills of hoes and hoes well before speaking. Otherwise, I will be greedy for more and not bad. After practicing this move well, all the routines can be easily mastered

After Gu Yang left, Su Jie continued to practice here.

After practicing until dawn, he goes to school for breakfast and prepares to arrange his own training for the day.

In the focused training, the day passed quickly. In the evening, he came to the small forest and spent an hour swinging a sledgehammer, smashing flies on three pieces of glass, but he couldn't control them well and smashed the glass to pieces.

He didn't smash the glass too much, but instead fixed it at only three pieces per day. Learn from Mi Fu and practice calligraphy. On a piece of paper worth five taels of silver, don't start writing first, repeatedly ponder before starting.

He was the same, brewing the power of this move to the extreme in his heart.

After smashing it three times, he went to the school massage parlor and found Blind Uncle to give him a heavy massage.

Your training volume today is quite large, and your spine has slightly deformed slightly. It's not a big deal, but if you accumulate over time, it will be troublesome. It's obvious that your hoe move is being practiced repeatedly. "Blind Uncle first pinched his spine, causing Su Jie to almost suffocate from the pain, but his relaxation and tension rhythm are becoming more and more proficient, so he immediately suppressed it and was able to have a conversation with

Blind Uncle.

Did I lose my posture while practicing? "Su Jie felt nervous. Making a mistake was a big deal, and he didn't have a coach watching today. It was his first practice and he might not know the

importance.

Don't worry, your posture is correct, but the amount of exercise is too high, causing the spine to be stretched to its limit and slightly deformed, just like overexertion and body aches. In the future, when you practice, you need to pay attention to it. You used to practice with a coach, did he give you a massage after a while

That's true, "Su Jie nodded.

So, during the training process, practicing alone is actually very dangerous and can easily lead to deviation, even for experienced teachers who have been in the industry for many years, because those in charge are narrow-minded and those who are not familiar with the situation are clear. "Blind Uncle said," You are still in the period of growing your body, so you need to pay special attention to practice. Fortunately, you have met me, and I can help you correct it every day. Otherwise, it will be difficult to recover if you become crooked. Of course, as long as you successfully shape yourself and fix your bone shape, there will be no problem

I understand. "Su Jie knew that Blind Uncle had a thorough understanding of the study of body bones, and he couldn't help but ask," Blind Uncle, what did you do before Doctor of Medicine from Cambridge, studying the hormonal reactions produced by the movement mechanics between human cells and skeletal muscles, "said Uncle Blind Is my test subject good? "Su Jie remembered that Oudeli also said the same thing.

It's hard to encounter. "Blind Uncle's technique kept going, causing Su Jie to suffer excruciating pain with every move.

By the way, I practice the hoe move by stretching and retracting my spine. I feel that my spine is very elastic. Why does my spine easily become misaligned? "Su Jie asked.

It is precisely because you have trained your spine that misalignment occurs. Humans are not machines, and every posture you make may appear standard to the naked eye, but if it is precise to millimeters or even nanometers, it may be incorrect

Blind Uncle continued his class: "The core of this move of hoeing is to stretch and retract the spine, drill up and down, and pounce down. There is a saying in martial arts: front and back are instincts, left and right are kung fu, and up and down are supernatural skills. It means that when a person is in combat, if they encounter an attack, they should retreat directly, and when they hit someone, they should charge forward, which is an instinct and an individual skill. However, when they encounter an attack and dodge left and right, they need to practice their skills, so it is called left and right kung fu. But when they encounter an attack and stretch up and down, it is divine and a divine skill. Boxing, free combat, and other combat, diving, dodging, hugging are the most difficult to practice. If used well, they can directly defeat the enemy. There is another saying in boxing proverbs: It's like carrying a burden and moving like a locust beetle. The meaning is to engage in a confrontation with a person. With just one movement, it's like diving under a pole and using all your strength to climb up while maintaining balance. If someone can't carry a pole, they will lose their balance, keep spinning, and even fall to the ground, which is not uncommon

Su Jie thought about the situation where many people in the martial arts class were burdened, and it was indeed easy to lose balance. Two baskets, one pole, lifted on one shoulder, bouncing up and down, whether it's flat ground, rugged mountain roads, or muddy roads, you can walk as fast as you can, it's true kung fu.

If the balance and power of this clock are applied to combat, it would be too terrifying. Kid, this massage seems to be very easy for you. Your horizontal training skills are growing so fast. "Seeing Su Jie being able to talk to him while pinching, he seemed to be not afraid of pain at all, and a shocked expression appeared on his face.

Su Jie's kung fu seems to be increasing day by day.

After a massage, Su Jie felt comfortable all over, completely relaxed both mentally and

physically, and didn't want to move at all. Still lying down for half an hour, my mind empty and my fatigue completely eliminated.

In medicine, this state is called complete relaxation of the deep neural cortex. In this state, everything recovers quickly, the endocrine system reaches a perfect state, and cells and metabolism can be adjusted, thereby extending lifespan. In fact, the best treatment in medicine is relaxation therapy. I have been studying this therapy for many years, but complete relaxation is difficult for myself to achieve. Only by combining it with clever massage techniques can people enter. "Blind Uncle said, Reaching the most relaxed state What is the most relaxed state? "Su Jie asked quickly.
