Chapter 7, Kung Fu Enthusiast
It cannot truly be used for combat; it is merely visually impressive.
It was merely the way of speaking about highlights that left John somewhat perplexed
John shrugged his shoulders and pointed excitedly at the spotlight, saying: "But now it's different. I saved you, you owe me a favor, and I also have to take care of you, so you should teach me a couple of tricks."
To be honest, choosing to act like a master is not only likely to expose oneself easily, but it can also lead to unpredictable consequences.
John frowned and then said very seriously: "I am a fervent fan of Jack Cheng, extremely fervent, and of course I also greatly admire Bruce Lee. They represent two different styles. Ever since I was very young, I have hoped to learn Chinese martial arts, but I was born in a small place where there are no Chinese martial arts schools, and in fact, it is even difficult to see Chinese people."
John said very seriously: "I am certain that I have been to martial arts schools to learn kung fu. Every master at these schools has told me that he is the best, a master, and a descendant of a certain style of Chinese martial arts. However, whenever I asked to test them, I found that they could not last even one round before falling down. Buddy, I have already defeated eleven martial arts instructors, but you are different; you are very humble"
What is meant by performance-oriented martial arts
Gao Guang hesitantly said: "Are you serious about the * picture * book?"
However, the captain left with Frank, Joy, and Rubber. They needed to arrange the funeral for the buffalo, as it was indeed inappropriate to have a corpse being transported around Los Angeles.
Gao Guang now feels as if his mind is about to explode, as he cannot believe that martial arts can be so powerful. However, looking at John's demeanor, it seems he is not boasting, which leads him to start feeling that this matter is becoming increasingly surreal
Uh, are you referring to the level of an average person when you mention the three?
Well, this... martial arts movie is still a movie, and movies are all fictional. In other words, no matter how much you practice, it won't be of any use. If you want to learn real martial arts, you need to find a true master of martial arts
Do I look like I am joking to you
As for Gao Guang, he stands at a height of 1.82 meters, but weighs only 65 kilograms, making him as thin as a bean sprout. Such a physique indeed allows him to move swiftly and nimbly, and performing a somersault is a piece of cake for him. However, without any tools in hand, it is likely that he would struggle to even land a blow on John if he were to stand still.
You must be a true expert, you certainly are
Gao Guang was once again astonished, and to an extreme degree, then he involuntarily said: "Do you still believe that kung fu is ... ... really m.hetushu.com.com?"
Gao Guang has a very good impression of John; of course, how could one not have a favorable feeling towards someone who is willing to actively help oneself
Gao Guang is very certain that he cannot defeat John, as one can tell just by looking at John's physique.
Gao Guang was stunned for a moment, then he said in astonishment: "You want to learn martial arts from me?"
Therefore, after much contemplation, Gao Guangsi ultimately decided to be forthright, lest he be regarded as a deceiver by John in the future
John said with a serious expression: "Because I know you can fight, I saw it last night, and I saw it very clearly. You must be skilled in martial arts, right?"
Los Angeles is only 200 kilometers away from San Diego. Departing in the morning, we entered downtown Los Angeles around noon
Gao Guang was very candid, but before he could finish speaking, John began to shine with excitement.
What is your understanding of a master
There is a problem, and the problem has escalated.
John's face wrinkled in displeasure, and he said, "Ordinary people? If it were just about fighting ordinary people, why would I need to learn martial arts from you? I served in the Marine Corps for five years, and now I can easily handle three ordinary people. What I mean is that defeating at least three people of my own caliber is sufficient. Is there a problem with that?"
John took a big bite of the hamburger in his hand, then he continued, "Not only did I save you, but I also have to take care of you. To be honest, I hate being someone else's babysitter, but do you know why I took on this job willingly?"
It is a form of kung fu that is more for performance rather than practical combat; it is intended for demonstration purposes. I hope you understand what I mean by this
As for preparing for the onboarding of Gao Guang, Frank entrusted this task to John, as John took the initiative to volunteer to mentor the newcomer Gao Guang
No, he practices Baji Quan, that's right, this is what he said
Of course! Kung Fu is indeed real. Are you testing me? You must be testing me!
John said earnestly, "That sounds great. Do you think if I practice at my age, I still have a chance to become a master?"
Gao Guang sighed and said, "Alright, I can teach you, but I must clarify in advance that I practice Changquan routines, staff techniques, and sword techniques, all of which are individual events in martial arts competitions"
John put down the hamburger in his hand, clenched his fists, and said with a serious expression: "Of course I can fight. I do not expect to become a super expert, but at the very least, I can take on three at once"
He uses grappling combat or Sanshou, but it is definitely not Kung Fu. I do not want to admit it, but I must speak the truth
He was astonished, truly unaware of where he had demonstrated the demeanor of a master.
John has a round face, which is why he earned the nickname "Bottle Cap." His round face appears quite amusing and is always adorned with a smile, further reinforcing the impression that John is a good person
Gao Guang was very hungry, so he could not focus solely on talking. After taking a hearty bite of the hamburger in his hand, he nodded and mumbled, "I do know martial arts, but it might not be what you think; I practice forms."
"I saved you, do you know that? Last night, it was I who shot and blew the kidnapper's head off; otherwise, it would have been your head that got blown off. Therefore, you owe me a favor."
Why
Gao Guang swallowed and said, "And then?"
Gao Guang slightly opened his mouth in astonishment as he looked at John, who continued, "The reason I say this is that he is about to participate in the upcoming boxing match, an unrestricted and unregulated cage fight. Five people enter the ring, and the last one standing wins one hundred thousand dollars. It is a significant boxing match; you know there aren't many entertainment options in the Green Zone, so many people participate, and many place bets, of course, the prize money is substantial.
Firstly, John is very strong. Although his face is round and large, and his neck is relatively thick, he is not at all overweight, and his body is quite robust. Such a physique clearly indicates that he has a strong ability to withstand impacts
John's eyes sparkled a bit as he earnestly asked, "What is a routine?"
What a test, now even he does not believe in so-called ancient martial arts, nor does he believe that martial arts can be applied in real combat. Therefore, he asked in extreme confusion: "Can you tell me why you have such confidence in kung fu?"
Then he knocked down four, you can surely imagine, but at that time, at that time...
Now, both Gaoguang and John are eager to satisfy their hunger. John chose a fast-food restaurant, but as soon as he received his meal and just sat down, he couldn't wait to begin his speech
John gestured as if his head had exploded, and with a look of reverence said, "At that moment, my head felt like it had exploded because I realized that my childhood dream was coming true right before my eyes"
John sighed, then he said very seriously: "Six years ago, at that time I had just become a mercenary... No, I had just become a PMC. In the Green Zone of Baghdad, I witnessed a black market boxing match. A Chinese man took down his opponent with just one move. That Chinese man was very thin, similar to you, but much shorter. The person he defeated weighed at least twice as much as he did. It was like a featherweight boxer defeating a heavyweight boxer, and it was just with one hit"
Yes, I want to learn
