Putting aside those messy thoughts, Liu Mang took off his clothes, walked into the bathroom, and took a comfortable hot bath.

After soaking the wet clothes in the bucket, Liu Mang changed into a set of dry clothes and held the booklet of Bajiquan in his hand.

This booklet only talked about the most basic methods, but Liu Mang still felt like he had a headache and didn't know where to start.

Every type of traditional Chinese martial arts had its own unique technical system, which formed the obvious differences between the styles and characteristics of each type of martial arts. Among them, the technique of exerting force was an extremely important factor in the formation of a type of martial arts. It was the foundation of a type of martial arts. Practicing boxing without understanding the strength was like a blind man feeling an elephant. Even if one practiced hard, it would be difficult to see the mysteries of boxing.

It was said that Bajiquan's strength was "fierce and violent, violent and explosive","moving like a taut bow, and exploding like thunder", which made it different from other types of boxing.

The main forms of force included the Cross Force, Falling Force, and Silk Twining Force. However, these forces were not isolated, but closely connected and compatible with each other.

As the saying goes,"Move like a taut bow, hair like thunder", this is the image of the Bajiquan force process. " Moving like a taut bow " was the process of accumulating strength. It meant that the body was like a drawn bow, full of strength, and then the strength stored in the body was transmitted to the limbs and released. In fact, it would be more appropriate to describe the process of Bajiquan's accumulation of strength as 'body like a bow, fist like an arrow' " Exploding like thunder " was the characteristic of Bajiquan. There were two aspects to it. One was that the force must be sudden and fierce, catching people off guard and having an unstoppable momentum. Second, the force must radiate in all directions from the human body. It must be powerful in any direction, just like a bomb exploding in the air.

Although Bajiquan's force was fierce and violent, it was practiced and applied with the emphasis on " force to the hair ", which was the " inch force " and " explosive force " that martial arts practitioners usually talked about. However, Bajiquan's force was the force of penetration, not the force of shaking and bouncing.

The whole process of exerting force in Bajiquan could be divided into the movement process of the early movement (the preparation process of exerting force) and the process of exerting force. The movement process of exerting force should be relaxed, so as to meet the requirements of being relaxed and unrelenting, fast and not stiff, so as to save physical strength and straighten out the tendons and vessels to quickly complete the movement process. When the movement moved to the designated position, it suddenly exerted force.

Therefore, the essentials of Bajiquan's force exertion process could be summarized as: The process before exerting force had to be relaxed, fast, and quick. This was both a requirement for practice and a key point for application.

These words were written at the end. It should be some of the experiences of the owner of this booklet when he practiced boxing. Although it was a little one-sided, it was easy to understand. For Liu Mang, it could be learned as soon as possible.

From a certain point of view, this person could be considered Liu Mang's master. However, martial artists valued their masters very much and would not casually acknowledge a master. Once they acknowledged a master, they would be a master for life.

Although Liu Mang didn't know much about martial arts, he knew this rule. Although he had read these notes, he didn't want to be a disciple so easily. He just called him senior in his heart,

The senior who practiced boxing said that to practice the technique of exerting force in Bajiquan, one must first master the essentials correctly. The most basic essentials were the basic requirements of Bajiquan for all parts of the body, namely," chest, back, top, waist, shoulders, elbows, and qi through the dantian." After that, he would carefully ponder over the principles and process of Bajiquan's force exertion. This way, he could practice it while he was theoretical and repeatedly verify it. This would naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort. The second was to start with the Cross Force. This was because the Cross Force was the main force of Bajiquan, and it also included other forces. Therefore, by practicing this force well, one could grasp the essence of things. The so-called " cross force " referred to the force of the front hand hitting forward and the force of the back hand pulling back to form a " cross " The force of sinking the shoulders, dropping the elbows, stomping the feet, and blowing the air is the force of sinking the limbs and bones. Together with the force of lifting the head, straightening the neck, and pulling the waist, it forms an upward force, forming a vertical cross. Therefore, we call it the "cross force", also known as the "cross force".

Third, he had to choose a movement that could fully reflect the strength characteristics of Bajiquan. These movements were mainly hammer support, face-to-face palm strike, and hugging the baby (Horse stance elbow support). Whether it was cultivating internal energy in the stance, testing strength, or releasing strength, they all started from these movements and practiced repeatedly. Every movement had to be practiced one move at a time, striving to be accurate and remembering the details. Finally, the accumulation of practice quantity would achieve a qualitative change. The old boxers said,"If you don't hit a baby 20,000 times in your arms, you won't be able to exert your strength." The hammer and the palm should be practiced as many times as possible.”After practicing for a long time, one would naturally experience the endless mysteries within.

Fourth, he had to do it step by step. When practicing, one must first use the hidden strength to feel the feeling of the essentials in all aspects of the body. After feeling right, one can try to exert a little strength, and then gradually increase the strength as the skill increases. This is also called "using the hidden strength to tease out the open strength". However, after having a certain amount of power, remember to use less full strength (that is, 10% strength).

Fifth, Bajiquan practiced explosive force, which was what people called " inch force." He talked about the force that reached the hair, but what he used was Du Tu force, not the shaking force. The movement process should be soft and natural, and should be fully relaxed, but it should be loose and unrelenting. After reaching the position quickly, suddenly exert force. When exerting force, it should be "like a pile of mud falling there". It should be solid and stable, not swaying or trembling.

Force was the soul of boxing. Only by practicing force well could one lay a solid foundation for future boxing practice. Only then could one practice practical techniques well and use them well. Only then could one release the whole round force at any time under any circumstances, and only then could one exert great power in actual combat.

Liu Mang was quite enlightened. He couldn't help but try to hold his breath and concentrate. He tightened his entire body and then attacked quickly. Although he didn't do the " fierce and violent, explosive and shocking assault "," moving like a taut bow, and sending out thunder " as mentioned above, it was still a little more powerful than his usual fists.

Seeing that it was effective, Liu Mang's confidence increased greatly. He pondered over the words in the booklet and practiced them continuously. He was having a lot of fun practicing alone in his room.

Practicing martial arts consumed a lot of energy. Liu Mang was drenched in the rain, so his body was already exhausted. After this exercise, he suddenly felt pain in his bones and his head was dizzy. He knew that he had reached his limit today.

Liu Mang was a very casual person. He did not practice at the moment. He put the booklet back into the drawer and locked it. Only then did he realize that his entire body was wet again. However, this time, he was soaked in sweat. It was obvious that he had consumed a lot of physical energy.

Liu Mang shook his head with a bitter smile. He had changed his clothes for nothing. It seemed that he would have to wash a bucket of clothes tomorrow.

However, even if she was unwilling to wash her clothes, she still had to change them. Liu Mang took off his clothes and was about to take off his pants when an ear-piercing horn sounded.
