Chapter 251 Entry Test
The thin bamboo pole is named Chen Sheng, and the "Ye's Martial Arts School" ranks sixth.
The thick stick is called Wu Xi, and the "Ye's Martial Arts School" ranks seventh.
Ansen has been staying at "Ye's Martial Arts School" for two months, and he still doesn't know how many formal disciples there are; but judging from the details, these two should be staying at "Ye's Martial Arts School" The two youngest in the house, because they are responsible for daily chores, and we usually deal with them.
Every morning can be divided into two times.
Before and after the master officially came to the martial arts hall, when the master showed up, everything was normal. Maybe there were some rules and some arrogance, but it was still a martial arts gym, open to welcome guests.
Unfortunately, Nick and Matt chose to show up early in the morning, and the master did not show up for the time being, so the rules that already existed in the martial arts school became even stricter.
After observation, Ansen guessed that Chen Sheng and Wu Xi should be hiding in the utility room playing Tetris. At this time, someone actually disturbed him to fish, which is absolutely unforgivable.
You can tell by looking at their body language. They are ready to turn around and go back to fight for three hundred rounds.
The subtext of that look and action is not complicated:
If you have any questions, I have already given the answers in advance. You are not so stupid that you cannot hear them. Do you still need me to explain them in detail? So, if nothing happens, can you leave now? Don't bother me fishing, there isn't much time left before the master comes to the martial arts gym.
Chen Sheng blinked, his smile was bright, but his eyes were seeing off guests.
Matt looked at Nick, waiting for Nick's reply.
But Nick was also confused. Before he could speak, the thin bamboo pole had already spoken again.
"If there is nothing else to do, the exit is there, please help yourself."
Nick:? ? ?
Nick was a little panicked.
Actually, I can’t blame Nick. It was also Nick’s first time to come to “Yip’s Martial Arts School”. He was introduced by a friend and didn’t know much about the situation. I just heard that this martial arts gym is a hidden gem in Manhattan’s Chinatown. A master, and a real master.
In terms of fame and popularity, there are many martial arts schools worth mentioning in Chinatown. The kung fu craze has returned in the past two years, and the two works "Rush Hour" and "Shanghai Noon" have achieved outstanding box office performance, making Jackie- Jackie Chan is hot, feeling the heat again after Bruce Lee.
But real professionals all know that these martial arts schools are just showy, in order to satisfy people's curiosity, or to cater to market demand, just like tourist attractions, so that laymen can have a good time; Those who are a little more professional are only at the level of physical fitness.
If you want to learn something real, you not only need to avoid crowds, but also need to be familiar with the techniques -
After all, kung fu requires both patience and perseverance, and there is no so-called crash course.
"Yip's Martial Arts School" has a low reputation and is hidden in an inconspicuous street, but Nick's friends are full of praise and make no secret of their admiration.
"Everyone has something real", these are the original words.
This is exactly what Nick needs.
Currently, Nick and Matt are gearing up for an off-the-charts action movie, "The Bourne Supremacy."
In this work, Shell is the hottest spy/agent type in Hollywood at the moment; but the uniqueness of this project is that it is prepared to adopt a realistic style.
From Cold War-style stories to real fights, they hope to create a new story that is different from other spy/agent movies, and are looking forward to it Make this type of movie the best it can be and become a benchmark for others to follow.
So, what is the core?
Fight.
As a martial arts director, Nick certainly knows that Hollywood's fighting scenes are shortcomings, because Hollywood believes in guns, explosions, big scenes, and computer special effects. The martial arts design that involves fists and punches is not popular. Not only are the fighting routines easy to repeat, but it is also difficult to remember fancy fists and legs. Adrenaline for the audience.
This time, they need to change this situation.
When Matt signed on to star in "The Bourne Supremacy", he said that although the crew was willing to hire professional high-level stuntmen to be responsible for difficult fighting scenes, he still hoped to be able to appear on his own as much as possible——
< br>Try your best.
So, in the first step, Matt needs personal training, professional training; moreover, it is not simple self-defense training for filming a movie, it must start from basic skills, step by step, without shortcuts, and be solid Training, relying on accumulation over time to develop real abilities. Nick had an idea to use the Filipino Kali martial arts as the core, combine it with Chinese Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do, Israeli fighting skills and free fighting to create a brand new fighting style to match the cold style of the movie. Produce melee effects and trigger adrenaline.
This is also the reason why Nick came here.
Basic skills!
Nick knows very well that Chinese Kung Fu has extremely strict requirements on basic skills. Matt needs to start from scratch, and this should be the perfect choice.
The result?
As soon as it started, it was shut down.
Seeing the thin bamboo pole turning around to leave, Nick quickly called out, "Excuse me, is Master Ye here?"
Chen Sheng stopped and noticed Wu Xi from the corner of his eyes. He had already left and got into the utility room, feeling a little anxious.
"Hey, Wu Xi! You don't follow martial ethics!"
This sentence is in Chinese.
Chen Sheng shouted through his teeth, but still kept a smile on his face and looked at Nick again.
"The first rule of 'Yip's Martial Arts School' is that you must pass the first level when you come to learn martial arts."
"Either squat beside the horse for thirty minutes, or challenge A person from the martial arts school, after passing the test, let’s sit down and talk slowly.”
What is this weird rule?
Matt's head was full of questions. He wanted to clasp his fists at one moment, and bowed at the other. The violently shaking pupils clearly revealed his confusion at the moment.
Nick was not surprised.
He knows that regular martial arts schools often have their own set of rules. On the one hand, they test the sincerity and perseverance of students, and on the other hand, they get rid of tourists who are just here for a visit. Only in this way can he Able to retain those enthusiasts who are truly open-minded to learn.
This rule made Nick determined.
Nick turned to look at Matt, "What do you think?"
This matter still needs to be decided by Matt. After all, it is Matt who will be training hard here. If If Matt can't pass the test, it's all for nothing.
Matt was still confused.
However, Matt's character has always been down-to-earth, "I can do it. Otherwise, I will do the horse stance next to me? Wait, what is the horse stance like?"
While saying While sitting, Matt began to study.
It can be seen from that shaky posture that Matt has no understanding of martial arts, let alone a professional. If a five-year-old kid kicks Matt's calf, as long as the kick is in the right position, Matt The horse's stance will immediately collapse and collapse. It is estimated that it will be difficult to hold on for thirty minutes.
Nick also saw it.
This is why Nick insists that Matt needs to start with the basics.
Think about it seriously, so far, Matt has been practicing free fighting for a whole month, and his agility and lightness in defensive steps have been recognized. Although he is not a master, he is not a rookie who knows nothing about it. There is no problem with ordinary fighting, and you can also test the training results.
Thinking of this, Nick also had an idea, "Excuse me, if I challenge, who will I face?"
Second update.
