[Text/Fighting Jianghu] To talk about a generation of martial arts grandmaster Bruce Lee, everyone inevitably has to talk about his martial arts essence of boxing, Bruce Lee's practical principle of boxing is to "spend the least effort to achieve the greatest effect", advocating "from the simplest path to directly hit the opponent", this point, I am afraid that Pan American judo champion Haywood Xigang has a deep understanding, what is going on? Let's look down.
Bruce Lee's inch fist is also the essence of the interception boxing, how terrible is the lethality?
In the late 1960s, the famous jiu-jitsu artist Willie Jay held a pan-American judo competition, and Bruce Lee was invited as a guest. Hayward Nishioka, a Japanese-American, personally learned Bruce Lee's inch fist. Previously, Xigang believed that the inch punch was just a short punch that could only be issued from the front, and had to be sent from the centerline of the body to produce enough lethality.
He suddenly hugged Bruce Lee from behind, thinking that bruce Lee would certainly not be able to move with his two-armed gripping power that swept through thousands of armies. But he thought wrongly, who knew that Bruce Lee turned sharply, and while counteracting his locking force, he turned back with a short, fierce inch punch, and Xigang felt that he had "flown" for a distance and fell heavily on a wall behind him. The strong Xigang lay for a long time before recovering.
Xigang later explained that one of the reasons why he was hit by Bruce Lee at that time was that he was not mentally prepared, did not expect bruce Lee's fist to be too fast and heavy, and he did not wear any protective gear. Because of performances like this, Bruce Lee used to put a phone book on the opponent's chest to cushion the blow.
Bruce Lee's answer to Xigang was: "Actual combat is very realistic, because the opponent does not give you time to gather momentum, and the only effective way to cope with actual combat is to rely on your own instincts and intuition to attack and defend." ”
Bruce Lee's flying judo champion Xigang this time is the best embodiment of his instincts and intuition. Born in 1942, slightly younger than Bruce Lee, Nishioka is a judo black belt nine-dan, sports coach at the 1967 Pan American Games of Japanese-American Community College, and former judo gold medalist. He won five consecutive National Judo Championships between 1965 and 1970. As a result, such a figure was actually punched by Bruce Lee, and it was precisely the use of inconspicuous inch punches.
Xi Gang was also very sad to recall now, he did not expect Bruce Lee's fist to be so powerful in any way, and he was the first person in the martial arts. Xigang, who trained and played with Bruce Lee in the 1960s, said: "I can't fight him. He was too fast for me, and he always tapped me on the head when I wasn't ready. He's the fastest guy I've ever seen (reflexes and movements), and he's the King of Martial Arts. ”
It can be seen that Xigang was conquered by Bruce Lee, and Bruce Lee's lethality of his fist was so great that it was really terrifying.
Bruce Lee's upper limb strength training is also beyond ordinary people, and I have to admire Bruce Lee's devil training methods, in addition to talent, that is, the diligent practice of the day after tomorrow. Genius does not often exist, and we can only pay tribute to Bruce Lee with memories and materials. 【Text/Fighting Jianghu】
