Kung Fu Way: Point of No End

Chapter 21: The Small Ring: The Highest Realm is Wuxiang

"This is the highest state of Zen Buddhism. In fact, it is a sentence in the Diamond Sutra. There is no appearance of self, no appearance of human beings, no appearance of sentient beings, and no appearance of longevity." Blind Uncle said.

"What does this mean?" Su Jie asked again.

"The so-called me is the basis for the existence of this world. All pain, likes, pleasures, and anxiety are due to my existence. If I don't exist, then all emotions will disappear. And the human form is the same existence as me. The basis of life is the cause and effect that affects my existence. Without people, we would not have so many emotions and thoughts. As for sentient beings, there are many things that affect my existence. As for the appearance of longevity, it is a combination of time and space. Our lifespan is the mark that exists in this time period and this space period." Blind Uncle spoke with great philosophical depth: "If a person can reach this state, then the body is in the most relaxed state, because his The mind has let go of all the foundations of existence, and everything has been let go. It is said that under this state of mind, a person's body will undergo wonderful changes."

"I don't even understand what this state is. But I know that when people relax, they can cure many diseases and enhance immunity. If people are tense and anxious all the time, they will easily get sick." Su Jie's basic truth I still understand.

"Xinyi, that is, the digging and carrying of burdens that you practice, was first created by monks by combining qigong and Zen. It is called the integration of Zen and martial arts. If you want to practice this martial arts to the peak, you must understand Zen. " said the blind uncle.

"Uncle Blind, to what level can you relax yourself?" Su Jie asked.

"I have just reached the realm of forgetting things and me, which is still a little short of the real no-self, no-one, and no-sentient beings." Blind Uncle said: "After all, forgetting is not nothing. If there is forgetting, there is memory, and if there is no That's the real no."

When Su Jie heard these philosophies, he used to have a big head, but now he half-understands them. He doesn't understand them very well, but he also has some insights.

"Perhaps I need life experience and the precipitation of time before I can finally understand." Su Jie is still studying with enthusiasm, and studies according to his own pace of life.

After the massage, it was only eight o'clock in the evening, and there was still an hour before going to bed at nine o'clock. Originally, at this time, Su Jie and Joss were fighting in the ring. Now that Joss might have found someone else to train, Su Jie decided to go and see what he was doing.

He knows that sparring is very important, even if both sides wear protective gear and the referee is present, they cannot play freely. But it is much better to play sandbags than to practice in the air.

Hi! Hi! Hi!

He walked into the huge training ground. As the start of school approached, more and more students were training here. They were all formally studying in martial arts schools, and there were even professional players.

Minglun Martial Arts School has produced many professional athletes, including national champions in boxing, Sanda, Muay Thai, kickboxing, kickboxing, mixed martial arts and wrestling.

It is said in the TV advertisement, "The cradle of champions, Minglun Martial Arts School."

Basically any master of martial arts can be seen here, which is why Su Jie came here from across the province.

"Win, win again."

At this time, an explosive shout came from the other side of the arena.

Su Jie looked over, there was another stadium over there, and there was a sign to buy tickets at the door, it seemed that some kind of competition was going on inside.

"Could this be the small group arena that Coach Nie Shuang mentioned?"

He walked over curiously, and saw that the ticket cost 30 yuan, which was not very expensive, so he bought one to enter.

It really is a big arena inside, with rings and octagonal cages, which are specially prepared for mixed martial arts. Many people gathered in this big arena, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic. Many of them were students from martial arts schools, as well as people from outside the school, and some were even students from other martial arts schools. There were two people fighting inside, and one of the contestants directly surrendered the other contestant with a beautiful hug and wrestling cross, and the onlookers outside all applauded.

"Ruan Xing has won three consecutive games, and the school has a bonus of 6,000 yuan." At this time, the referee announced the result.

"Minglun Martial Arts School's internal group arena competition has finally started. The summer vacation has been suspended for more than a month, and now the competition starts, can we go up and earn some money to spend?"

"Come on, those who go up to sign up are all masters, let's waste the registration fee, and we will be beaten up."

Su Jie heard the conversation between two students from other schools next to him, and he looked at some posters next to him, and immediately knew that this was a ring challenge held by Minglun Martial Arts School. Students from outside the school or from the school could participate. As long as you pay the registration fee and entry fee, you will get a bonus after you win.

This kind of group arena was suspended for a month during the summer vacation, and now that the holiday is coming to an end, more students are returning to school, and the school reopened the group arena today.

In fact, there are many martial arts schools in this area, and each martial arts school has this kind of group arena competition, not to mention martial arts schools, even some bars and boxing gyms in the town also have competitions.

However, the Minglun Martial Arts School's group arena competition is the most famous in this region, with the highest technical level and attracts the most participants. It even attracted a large number of fans to watch on the Internet, and directly signed a contract with the webcast platform, earning a lot of money.

The Minglun Martial Arts School's group arena is a very profitable project for the school.

"I'm going to sign up too?" Su Jie's heart moved, he was worried that he would not find a chance to actually fight. The last fight with Song Li was actually a private fight. Although he won 10,000 yuan, he didn't ask for it, because it would be easy to make enemies, so why not be generous and make friends.

But now, this is an open group arena held by the school. If you go up to participate, it would be even better if you can win. If you can't win, you can also gain actual combat experience.

"The registration desk is over there."

Su Jie squeezed to the other side. There was no one in the registration place, but a machine. Just put your ID card on it, scan it, weigh it, and then scan the QR code with your mobile phone to pay the registration fee, and it is considered complete. The next step is to wait for the opponent to be arranged.

It's very simple. The first step is to stand on the machine, the second step is to put the ID card, and the third step is to scan the code to pay 100 yuan.

After completing the registration, Su Jie squeezed into the competition area in front.

In this gymnasium, there are audience area, player area, referee area, competition area, media shooting area, and special audience area. This is almost comparable to the general national competition.

In fact, many national competitions are also held here.

The strength of Minglun Martial Arts School can be seen from this venue.

When there are no large-scale competitions, this venue will hold small arena competitions every day, giving students a chance to actually fight and feel the experience of competitions.

Su Jie waited in the player area. There were dozens of people waiting here, some with bandages on their hands, some warming up, and some chatting with each other, as if they were relaxing.

But no one came to talk to Su Jie.

Su Jie suddenly felt nervous. This was his first time participating in a regular competition. Although it was a small game, everyone could sign up, but with so many people watching, the atmosphere was a little different.

"Master the breathing rhythm well, warm up, adjust your mental state, and create a feeling of blood boiling and fighting spirit..." He started warming up and imagining according to coach Odley's instructions.

Coach Odley told him a long time ago that in the ring competition, mental quality is extremely important. If the adjustment is not good, even one tenth of the strength and technique of the whole body will not be displayed, and only one tenth of it will be beaten.

When it’s time to warm up, imagine yourself being bullied, beaten, and insulted, and then fight back, forget your fear and fear, brew your bloody anger and fighting spirit, and at the same time formulate tactics for yourself, what routines, moves, and combinations to use punches against the enemy.

All in all, the emotional brewing before the game is the most important link.

"On the eve of fighting, the principle of adjusting the mental state is to use emotional control to stimulate the secretion of adrenaline. In extreme cases, adrenaline can be secreted. This hormone can instantly enhance the vitality of the human body, reduce pain, and reduce fear. , increasing speed, agility and strength."

Su Jie repeatedly recalled Coach Odley's various pre-fighting skills in his mind.

Before the decisive battle, the warm-up of the limbs is important, but the more important thing is the emotional mobilization.

Emotional mobilization is very knowledgeable. First of all, you should not be too excited or too angry, otherwise you will be overwhelmed by anger, lose your calm judgment, and be knocked down by the enemy.

But you can't be too calm, that will lose some explosive power.

Like a volcano that is about to erupt, the inner emotions are surging, but they can be suppressed, and they will erupt completely at the best opportunity, overwhelming the sky and the earth.

In fact, Su Jie also understands the inner strength method in Chinese kung fu, which is to mobilize emotions, make the secretion of hormones in one's body controlled by the heart, so as to achieve the purpose of maintaining health and enhancing combat effectiveness.

The hoe he practiced to dig the ground and carry the load to do farm work was called "Xinyi Ba" among the ancient monks, and the word "mind" revealed all the mysteries.

"Su Jie, fight against Huang Bo."

It took about 30 to 40 minutes to adjust, and after seven or eight rounds of fighting, it was finally Su Jie's turn.

In this small arena fighting competition, each contestant only has five minutes to fight. Once the time is up, the competition will be over. Even if the enemy is not knocked down, the winner will be determined according to the score.

The score is not judged by the referee, but the school's computer system, through the most professional analysis, to determine the player's scoring point.

This kind of computer system analysis is more professional and fairer than professional referees, and there is basically no objection.

"Who is Huang Bo?" Su Jie put on his gloves and entered the octagonal cage.

These are the rules of mixed martial arts.
