Chapter 1: Stormy Chapter 6 Yang Qingshuo (Part 1)
Xu Jingming didn't know that his master Liu Hai had recommended his name. He has now handed over the work of his fighting gym. Once the training of the Jiangnan provincial team is over, he can return to his hometown, Mingyue City.
In the afternoon, Xu Jingming trained in the fighting gym's exclusive room, holding a solid steel stick with a diameter of four centimeters and a length of three meters and two meters in both hands. The head of the long stick danced again and again, the upper arc, the lower arc, the left arc, the right arc... The trajectory drawn by the stick head in an instant was just a part of the circle.
This steel rod is a solid round stainless steel rod commonly used in industry, weighing 64 pounds. It is not suitable for fighting, but it is suitable for training strength and whole body strength.
"Ding ding ding..." Suddenly a sound was heard.
Xu Jingming put down the steel rod, picked up a towel and simply wiped off the sweat, glanced at the name on the screen, and said, "Xiaobai, answer the video call."
The light screen image condensed in mid-air, and a young man was shown in the image.
"A Shuo!" Xu Jingming smiled happily, "It's rare that you take the initiative to call me."
The young man in front of him was named Yang Qingshuo, and he was Xu Jingming’s best brother.
They went to the same university and were both on the school's martial arts team. Their teammates were arranged to live in the same dormitory, and he and Yang Qingshuo even shared bunk beds.
In his freshman year, Xu Jingming won first place in the National College Martial Arts League, and Yang Qingshuo was seventh!
Xu Jingming joined the national team in his freshman year, and Yang Qingshuo was selected for the national team in his sophomore year.
The brothers who shared the upper and lower bunks joined the national team together and stayed in the national team together for several years. They practiced together every day and lived in the same dormitory. You can imagine their brotherhood. They are not blood brothers, but they are better than blood brothers.
"Can't I call if there's nothing wrong?" Yang Qingshuo smiled, a little shy.
Yang Qingshuo is a very introverted and shy person, and people who are familiar with him are very clear about this.
"A Shuo, why do you seem to have gained a lot of weight?" Xu Jingming asked in surprise. Yang Qingshuo used to be very handsome and thin. But now he has gained a lot of weight and looks a bit fat, and his eyes are not as sharp as before.
"My child is going to primary school this year, so it's normal for me to gain weight," said Yang Qingshuo.
"Yes, your child is old enough to help with cooking, but I'm not married yet. Look at you, you got the marriage certificate just after reaching the legal age for marriage, which is so embarrassing for us old brothers." Xu Jingming joked. Who would have thought that Yang Qingshuo, the youngest and shyest player in the national team, would be the first to get married.
Yang Qingshuo smiled and said nothing more.
"Why did you call me today? What's the matter?" Xu Jingming asked with a smile. Many good brothers in college and the national team separated and scattered all over the country. It is normal to contact each other once every one or two years.
"Yes, there are some things." Yang Qingshuo hesitated and said, "Brother Xu, I encountered some problems and need to borrow some money."
"Borrow money?" Xu Jingming felt uneasy.
He doesn't care about money.
Instead, he was worried about A Shuo. A Shuo used to be a main player of the national team. After retiring, he also worked in their Jibei Provincial Sports Bureau and had a good income. How could he be forced to borrow money?
"What happened?" Xu Jingming asked.
"My mother was hospitalized, and the special medicines outside of medical insurance cost a lot." Yang Qingshuo said.
"How much do you need?" Xu Jingming asked.
"One million." Yang Qingshuo said, "It may take me a year to pay you back."
Xu Jingming nodded: "Okay, I'll transfer you now."
But he thought to himself, Ah Shuo was a main player of the national team and had made it to the World Martial Arts Competition, although he was eliminated in the group stage and the prize money was only the most basic one million. The appearance fee was not high, but he had worked hard for several years and saved several million. If he borrowed money from me now, I'm afraid he would be in big trouble.
When Xu Jingming lent money to others, he was prepared for the other party not to pay it back.
If it was an ordinary friend who lent him money, he would not be so generous, but Yang Qingshuo was his best brother since childhood!
While talking on the phone, Xu Jingming operated on the light screen and opened his own financial platform. The stocks, insurance, deposits... on the platform were all listed clearly, and the transfer was completed quickly.
"Has the money arrived?" Xu Jingming asked.
"Received." Yang Qingshuo was somewhat excited after receiving the money. Money is a person's courage, and being extremely short of money is indeed difficult. "Brother Xu, thank you."
"A Shuo, I'm going to Beijing on a business trip today. I'll pass by your Tianjin and talk to you." Xu Jingming said, "Give me your address and I'll come find you."
"Today?" Yang Qingshuo was surprised. "When will you arrive? "
"Probably around five o'clock." Xu Jingming calculated the time and said.
"Well, I'm still at work. I'll give you the address of my company." Yang Qingshuo gave an address.
Xu Jingming looked at Jiaxin Fitness Club and asked in surprise, "You left Jibei Sports Bureau?"
"Yes, I'm out." Yang Qingshuo nodded, "Brother Xu, I'm going to go to class now. Let's meet and talk later."
"Okay, then we'll have a good chat when we meet, brothers." Xu Jingming said, and with a slight stroke of his hand, the light curtain in front of him turned into light spots and dissipated.
Xu Jingming's smile disappeared, and he stood there silently: "A Shuo doesn't look right. He even left the Sports Bureau and went to a fitness club. It's not a famous fighting gym. He used to be a main player of the national team, and he went to a fitness club?"
They are all professional martial arts players. How much can they put to use what they have learned in the gym?
"Let's go to Tianjin and meet them." Xu Jingming immediately bought a high-speed rail ticket. The high-speed rail has a speed of 600 kilometers per hour and can reach Tianjin in two hours.
What he said about going on a business trip to Beijing was all false. Xu Jingming was worried about his good brother, so he made a special trip to Tianjin to meet Yang Qingshuo.
…
Online car-hailing and intelligent dispatch will arrive at the high-speed rail station in fifteen minutes.
Soon, Xu Jingming took the high-speed rail and headed straight to the northern city of Tianjin.
At 4:53 pm, Xu Jingming had already arrived outside the gate of Jiaxin Fitness Club in Tianjin City.
"arrive."
Xu Jingming looked up at the fitness club, which was quite large. He walked in and the front desk waitress smiled and asked, "Welcome."
"My last name is Xu, and I'm looking for Yang Qingshuo." Xu Jingming said, "I have an appointment with him."
"Are you looking for Coach Yang? Please sit here for a while." The female receptionist was very enthusiastic. She took Xu Jingming to the reception area and poured him a glass of boiled water.
…
At this moment, on the third floor of Jiaxin Fitness Club, Yang Qingshuo was giving fitness classes to a group of female members.
After finishing a set of boxing exercises, the female members were also panting.
"Okay, take a two-minute break." Yang Qingshuo said.
"Coach Yang, I heard that you have participated in the World Martial Arts Competition?" a female member asked curiously. They signed up for the class because they saw that Yang Qingshuo had participated in the World Martial Arts Competition.
"I heard that martial arts competitions are divided into C-level, B-level, A-level competitions and the highest level, the World Martial Arts Competition. Only the top 32 in the world martial arts points ranking are eligible to participate in the World Martial Arts Competition!"
"Every year, only the 32 strongest martial arts players in the world can participate. Coach Yang, have you ever participated?" The female members were very curious.
"I participated in the 26th World Martial Arts Competition." Yang Qingshuo nodded and smiled. This is also his most powerful resume for finding a job now.
"Wow."
"Coach Yang, can you teach us self-defense?"
"Yes, Coach Yang, we weak women have too little ability to resist those men with bad intentions. Do you have any self-defense tricks that can be easily practiced and used to deal with those strong men?" These female members all said.
"Easily practiced? How can a weak woman deal with a strong man?" Yang Qingshuo thought for a moment, smiled and said, "Okay, then I will teach you a more practical move."
The female members immediately listened carefully.
"First, do as I say, put one leg away and stand on one leg." Yang Qingshuo said.
All the female members stood on one leg, which was quite easy, except that the other foot would occasionally become unstable and land on the ground.
"Jump on one leg." Yang Qingshuo said, and demonstrated how to jump lightly on one leg.
The female members were wearing soft-soled fitness shoes and jumping easily on one foot.
"Is it simple?" Yang Qingshuo asked.
"I jump rope a thousand times every day. Jumping on one leg is of course easy." The female members all felt very relaxed, including the obese ones.
Who doesn't know how to jump around a bit?
"Your weight is generally around 100 kilograms," said Yang Qingshuo.
"I weigh more than 100 pounds." A fat lady laughed.
"That is to say, everyone's single leg strength can easily support more than 100 kilograms, and they can still jump up." Yang Qingshuo said, "If you push off the ground with one leg and jump up, it's easy to reach 200 kilograms with an instantaneous force."
The female members nodded.
"Now lift your leg and push off." Yang Qingshuo said, "When you jump on one leg, you push off the ground downwards! When you lift your leg, you push off straight ahead. It uses the same muscle force as when you push off the ground."
Yang Qingshuo taught.
"Exerting the same force as pushing off the ground?" The female members raised their legs one by one and pushed towards the sandbags in front of them. With a bang, the sandbags began to shake.
The female members were extremely surprised.
"I hit this sandbag before, and my fists and wrists hurt. My feet hurt when I kicked the sandbag, and the sandbag didn't move. Did it move this time?"
"Kick the sandbag like you kick the ground?"
"So powerful?"
For the first time, each female member discovered that kicking the sandbag was easy and quite powerful.
"This is called a straight kick. Just do it twenty times a day. After a month, you will be able to exert force smoothly. Even women can easily kick two or three hundred pounds." Yang Qingshuo said, "But this is not what I want to teach you."
"Look carefully, when you lift your legs and kick out, don't use the entire sole of your foot. Use the front of your foot, close to your toes!"
Yang Qingshuo kicked out casually, and the front of his foot was like a steel rod poking into the sandbag, causing the sandbag to make a low bang sound.
"You can usually wear sneakers or high heels! You can use your toes, at least two or three hundred kilograms of force, and transmit it through your toes. The penetrating power will be much stronger." Yang Qingshuo said.
"I understand. With the same pressure, the smaller the contact area, the greater the pressure." A female member said, "Compared with the entire sole of the foot, the pressure from the toes may be ten times greater."
"Yes, the pressure is much greater." Yang Qingshuo smiled, "This move has the secret of the traditional martial arts kick. Although your feet are not as hard as those of professional players, everyone wears shoes, and the soles of their shoes are harder than those of professional players! At least two or three hundred pounds of force, a kick with the toes, used to poke someone... even if you poke the opponent's thigh, the opponent will be in terrible pain."
"If you kick a man in the lower body..." a female member's eyes lit up.
Yang Qingshuo continued, "You can only do this in self-defense when facing real danger. This is not an ordinary crotch kick. Even if it doesn't hit the vital parts, but just kicks the opponent's abdomen, a normal man can't withstand it."
This is actually a 'simplified version' of the post!
"People use their legs to walk every day. Ordinary people can walk for several hours, but no one in the world can walk for several hours while standing on their hands." Yang Qingshuo said, "People's leg strength is naturally much stronger than their arm strength. Even women's leg strength can catch up with the arm strength of a strongman."
"Can you match the arm strength of a strongman? Those strongmen's arms are thicker than my thighs." said a female member.
"You can stand on one leg for several minutes. You can even jump." Yang Qingshuo said, "Ask those strong men to lift more than 100 kilograms with one hand for several minutes. How many of them can do it?"
"Don't underestimate your leg strength. A strongman has thick arms, but in terms of muscle efficiency, they can't catch up with you women's thigh muscles." Yang Qingshuo said confidently.
He is a professional martial arts athlete and is well aware of the potential of leg muscle strength. Humans are upright animals, and their legs are inherently much stronger than their arms.
Women, by using their leg strength, can also easily defeat men who don't know how to fight.
"Coach Yang, there's a customer named Xu looking for you." A staff member from the fitness club came and shouted.
Yang Qingshuo immediately understood that Xu Jingming had arrived.
