Volume 1: 30. Boxing Techniques

  It's depressing to see the slow growth of data such as likes, collections, clicks and recommendations. It all depends on you guys now. Today I'll still work hard to release three chapters in a small explosion, please give me some more motivation!

  Every boy has a martial arts dream in his heart, and Li Yifan is no exception. He also wants to become one of the great heroes in the martial arts world who uses his kung fu skills to uphold justice and protect the innocent.

  But that was the dream of a teenager, after going through more than a decade of social experience, Li Yifan knew that maintaining justice and resolving disputes could no longer be done with fists, but with law.

  So this life discovered the secret of this boxing spectrum, for Li Yihua, more meaning is curiosity, he wants to see what was written on that half-damaged and water-soaked secret book.

  As for that boxing manual, its practical significance to Li Yifeng is actually not great. Modern people's research on martial arts has made martial arts no longer as mysterious as they used to be.

  During his special forces training, Li Yifan had received training in Israeli Krav Maga. To be honest, this kind of kung fu is the real deal for killing people, much more practical than those fancy moves often seen on TV nowadays.

  It is undeniable that China had a glorious era of martial arts fighting, and in the early years of the Republic of China, there were many talented martial artists emerging. However, even these talented martial artists were mostly performed with artistic colors by later generations.

  To be honest, Li Yifan didn't believe that they could all win if they really let them fight with any modern martial artist.

  If the Chinese martial arts were as powerful as those described in wuxia novels, then Bruce Lee wouldn't have had to synthesize various styles and innovate Jeet Kune Do.

  And after the New China, at the beginning of the founding of the country, those movements that destroyed the old four also made China's martial arts gradually decline. Many practical and real combat skills have been submerged in the dust of history and become a lost art.

  Li Yifan had also felt sorry for the decline of these martial arts after truly coming into contact with and training in gongfu, but thinking about it again, there was no need to worry excessively, as those things have already become history. In fact, we still have a considerable number of combat techniques that have been preserved.

  Just like the Baixi Fist practiced by the bodyguards in Zhongnanhai, as Li Yifan knew, it was a truly lethal fighting technique with great killing power. However, once this fist is used, it would be a fatal outcome, so it was not widely spread in society and there were not many practitioners in the world.

  And this kind of Baguazhang kung fu often requires starting practice from a young age, and it often takes several years or even decades to see results. Therefore, the characteristics of taking a long time to be effective also determine that the possibility of widespread dissemination of this boxing technique is not great.

  Later, when he participated in special agent training, the instructors taught them a quick and efficient combat technique that combined domestic grappling techniques with foreign fighting techniques. As a result, even with very short-term training, an ordinary person can become a master of combat.

  This is particularly true of Krav Maga, which has been widely adopted in special military training around the world. It starts from practicality and targets the most vulnerable parts of the human body. Its combat movements are based on mechanical principles and ergonomics, making it simple, practical, highly targeted, easy to learn, and extremely lethal.

  Later, Li Yifan, after training, had integrated the essence of his family's boxing technique with the combat skills taught by his teacher, which made him a gold medal cleaner under the company, and even a small name in the world. However, as an agent, having a reputation is not necessarily a good thing, after all, 007 only exists in movies, and if an agent really has a reputation like 007, the final result can only be a miserable death on the street.

  It's probably rare for someone like Li Yifan to be reborn through time and space.

  The boxing manual recorded two sets of fist techniques, one of which was a close-range grappling technique that was very practical and played a significant role in Li Yifan's later career as a special agent.

  Another set, simply called the killing fist, the technique is straightforward and targets the fatal weaknesses of the human body, such as the lower abdomen, neck, behind the ear, and temple. When Li Yifan learned it later, he was also terrified at first, and after mastering it, he didn't dare to use this set of boxing techniques easily, fearing that its power was too great, and accidentally causing loss of life.

  With the fighting skills of his past life in mind, Li Yifan didn't particularly care about the moves in the boxing manual. What he cared about was the set of exercises for cultivating and practicing internal energy within the manual.

  It was because of this qigong technique that he was able to stand out from the ordinary cleaning workers later on.

  It is well-known that the physical quality of our nation, on a global scale, is actually not superior, especially compared to those black and white devils in Europe and America, our physical condition is at a disadvantage.

  So how can we face an opponent who is stronger than us in a fight? Some people say that we can rely on agility, but are they really clumsy?

  With skill, to be honest, they are not inferior. With flexibility, their soft skills are world-renowned. So, there is only one last resort left - a hard and forceful confrontation.

  However, due to the relationship between muscle tissue cells, our strength is at a congenital disadvantage compared to theirs. So how to make up for this disadvantage, which was also the main reason why Bruce Lee worked hard to establish Jeet Kune Do in those years.

  We can't compare with them in terms of physical strength or absolute power, so we will compare with them in terms of explosive force. The Wing Chun in the Southern-style boxing that Bruce Lee learned is the best exercise for improving explosive force.

  Concentrate all the strength of your body on one point, and then break through it. However, this boxing emphasizes speed, and you concentrate all the strength of your body on one point, which will destroy the overall coordination, and other parts of the body will be very weak. If you don't hit once, being counterattacked by your opponent will only leave a dead end.

  The most crucial point of the qigong skill in this boxing manual left by Li's ancestors is that it can cultivate enduring explosive power. At that time, Li Yifan had only cultivated half of the secret book and was once invincible in Asia. Now, Li Yifan really wants to know what would happen if he fully cultivates this qigong method.

  But this life, he doesn't plan to go fight underground boxing, nor does he plan to continue being a special agent. After all, that kind of life is usually not something people want to do unless they have no other choice.

  But after all, God gave him a chance to rebirth, he certainly hopes that he can live well, but people have good and bad luck, who knows when trouble will find its way to his head?

  So if you can learn one or two more skills to support yourself, it's not a bad thing.

  From the rooftop of his ancestral home, Li Yifan gazed at the intact wooden box in his hands and couldn't help but feel a sense of vindication that his guess had indeed been correct. The ancient manual left behind by his ancestors was still undamaged, it seemed that this lifetime he would finally be able to catch a glimpse of the complete picture of this set of skills.

  As for that cookbook, it was left to my father. Li Yifan also thought about it. In fact, my dad's craftsmanship is not bad, at least better than my grandfather. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the head chef of Zhengyang Restaurant in his early thirties.

  However, he missed the good times. When he was laid off that year, those five-star hotels recruited chefs with not very high requirements. Not to mention the star-rated hotels in later generations, as long as you have hard skills in your hands, as a head chef, your salary will definitely be much higher than those white-collar workers sitting in the office.

  I'm currently in a small seafood restaurant, which is somewhat humiliating for my father. However, with the help of this cookbook, as long as he studies hard and diligently, becoming a renowned chef in the country within the next few years won't be difficult at all.
