This Is A Horizontal Kick
Speaking of the spirit and purpose of Taekwondo, the first word to be mentioned was etiquette. It pursued the strength of bare-handed and mental recuperation. Taekwondo was named in 1955. It was a combination of Chinese Tang Hand, empty-handed, and classical Korean martial arts. In terms of cultural heritage, it was also influenced by Chinese culture. It was different from Japanese martial arts, which only pursued the result of competition. Its movement was simple and practical, straight forward, less defense and more attack, using hardness to counter hardness, and fighting hard. The leg method accounted for more than three-quarters of the total.
Merlin left Mei Tian with Tang Wei and said that he would treat Tang Wei to dinner after class.
Tang Wei first taught Mei Tian how to salute and the basic standing posture. Then, he started to teach some basic movements, such as: Forward Step, Horse Stance, Bow Stance, Lower Single Punch of Forward Step, Lower Punch of Horse Stance, Lower Defense of Forward Step, Middle Defense, Upper Defense, Upper, Middle Defense of Open Step, Upper, Middle Defense of Horse Stance, Upper, Middle Defense of Horse Stance, Forward Step, Back Step, One Exchange Step...
He couldn't have taught Mei Tian so many moves in a day, but Tang Wei realized that Mei Tian was a martial arts prodigy. He was flexible, agile, and had a strong sense of balance. Moreover, Mei Tian could perform any movement perfectly after being taught several times.?After teaching Mei Tian a few more moves, he still managed to do the first few moves very well. Tang Wei did not forget that Mei Tian had even wondered if he had learned Taekwondo before.
During the break, the students surrounded a sandbag and competed to see who could kick the sandbag the highest.
Male students compared to male students, female students compared to female students. However, a girl with a black belt was different. She ran over to the boy's side to take a look.
This girl looked to be around 20 years old. She had short hair and was very energetic. Her beautiful face had the fortitude of a martial artist.
Mei Tian was considered one of the older male students. Seeing the group of teenagers and young men in their twenties gathered together, Mei Tian walked over to watch the show.
"Come, come, come. Those on the opposite side, move to the sides.”a sturdy young man said.
Everyone moved aside. The young man took a step forward and stood still. His front legs were firmly planted, and his back legs were pushed against the ground. He twisted his waist with force, and the force was generated from the ground, from his front legs to his waist, and then from his waist to his kicked leg. With a fierce pull, he kicked the big sandbag horizontally. This was an extremely heavy sandbag, weighing about 300 pounds. It was not very soft. If a rookie did not know the depth of the sandbag and kicked it fiercely, it was very easy to hurt the back of his foot.
However, this young man was obviously not a rookie. With this kick, the 300-pound sandbag was kicked high into the air. This sandbag could easily knock someone down.
"Good! Awesome!" Everyone cheered. This young man was a second-degree black belt. If he was in a small taekwondo gym, he would be a coach. In fact, Xing Guo Taekwondo Gym would keep him as an assistant coach after a while.
"Let me try." The black-belt girl walked over and steadied the sandbag.
"Sister Mei, give us a shot. Let us see the strength of your legs. Let's see who can beat you or Brother Chao in the future, haha.”The boys jeered. It turned out that the girl was called Li Mei, and the boy with a second-degree black belt was called Ma Chao. He was chasing Li Mei. The young men admired Ma Chao and treated him as their leader, so they always cheered for him.
"Go to the side. Stop jeering." Li Mei glared at the young man who was shouting the loudest.
Li Mei did the same thing. Her front legs hit the ground, and her back legs kicked the ground. She twisted her waist and kicked the sandbag horizontally. The sandbag instantly flew up high. It was not much weaker than Ma Chao's kick.
Li Mei proudly raised her little face at the boys." How was it? Which boy wants to try again?" Needless to say, Ma Chao was the strongest, but he was on par with Li Mei. The rest of the boys were not as good as him. This made the boys feel very ashamed. Who could help the boys regain their face?
"Can I try?" Tang Wei said.
"No, a coach doesn't count." The girls gathered around and shouted in unison. "Hahaha, boys can't take it anymore, right?”
"Can I try?" Mei Tian walked to the front and everyone looked at him.
"Be careful. This sandbag is very heavy. Don't use too much force. Don't hurt yourself.”Tang Wei shouldn't have asked the newbie to kick the heavy sandbag, but he felt that Mei Tian had learned Taekwondo before, so he wanted to see Mei Tian's background.
"The girl opposite, please move to the sides. My legs are quite strong.”Mei Tian smiled.
Everyone knew that Mei Tian was a newcomer." Bro, you should just give up. Don't embarrass the boys. You don't even know the essentials of the movements. You need to use all your strength. It's not something that can be achieved with just one kick. You should practice for another ten years and try again."”Ma Chao said.
"You've been practicing for more than ten years?" Mei Tian chuckled as he looked at Ma Chao.
"You try, you try. Shame on yourself." Ma Chao choked on Mei Tian's words.
Mei Tian steadied his front foot and kicked the ground with his back foot. He kicked the sandbag hard and the sandbag swung up, but it wasn't very high because he didn't use any strength in his waist. However, as a newcomer learning Taekwondo on the first day, it was already very difficult for him to do this. Moreover, his movements seemed to be quite standard.
"Phew…I can't do it, but I still have to pretend to be a hero.”When Ma Chao started, the group of boys who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth followed suit.
"Mei Tian, pay attention to your waist.”Tang Wei said.
"Hehe, I was just testing the weight of the sandbag to warm up my lower body. Watch this kick carefully." Mei Tian didn't wait for the sandbag to stabilize. Instead, he unleashed his energy at the sandbag, increasing his speed by 20 times, and sent a horizontal kick at it.
Bang! The sandbag was kicked away and hit the opposite wall. It fell to the ground. The sandbag was hung by an iron chain. When everyone looked up again, the iron chain on the beam had broken.
Silence, unusually quiet…
"You…are you human?" A boy broke the silence.
"I don't know how it worked either. Maybe it was because the sandbag swung back and hit my foot. The two forces added together were especially strong. It could also be that the chain was already broken.”Mei Tian pretended to be at a loss.
"Alright, it's time for the break. Let's continue training.”Tang Wei immediately said.
Time passed quickly during the training. It felt like it was night time soon. The training was over, and the students went home in twos and threes. However, the topic of conversation on the way home today was Mei Tian's inhuman horizontal kick.
"Hey, your name is Mei Tian, right? Hello, my name is Li Mei." Li Mei came to find Mei Tian after disbanding.
"Hello," Mei Tian greeted him with a smile.
"Are you Superman? How did you do that? Don't tell me you haven't learned Taekwondo before. Why don't you learn other martial arts?”Li Mei was also quite curious. Seeing Li Mei pestering Mei Tian with questions from afar, Ma Chao snorted coldly and threw his clothes over his shoulder. He ignored the others and stormed out of the door.
"That's right, that's right. Brother Mei, did you learn other martial arts in the past?”A few students also surrounded him.
"Hehe, no, why would I lie to you? I really don't know what's going on.”Mei Tian said innocently.
"Mei Tian." Merlin stood outside the door and called out to him.
"Goodbye, I have to go first." Mei Tian said to everyone.
Mei Tian, Merlin, and Tang Wei took a taxi to Wanjin Garden. Of course, Merlin was a small boss who earned a lot of money every day. It was his first time treating a boy to a meal, so it was not too much to go to Wan Jin Garden.
"Brother Tang, it was really scary in the afternoon. There are still people challenging martial arts centers in this era?”Merlin said.
"Yeah, we had some conflicts in the past." Tang Wei said.
"Hehe, Brother Tang is really amazing. He knocked down his opponent in two or three moves.”Merlin had a look of admiration.
"I was lucky. However, your brother is really amazing. He kicked our sandbag away on the first day he came to learn Taekwondo.”Tang Wei smiled and looked at Mei Tian.
"What? Had the sandbag been broken? My little brother kicked you and you got into trouble, right? But it doesn't matter, we'll pay if you break it.”Merlin said hurriedly.
"Hehe, that's not necessary. I'm just saying that your brother is not ordinary. I've never seen or heard of anyone who can kick a heavy sandbag away. That strength is greater than a big truck crashing into it.”
"Brother Tang, that was really an outside idea.”Mei Tian explained.
"Forget it. Don't joke with me. I've been practicing martial arts for twenty years.”Tang Wei said with a smile.
"If Brother Tang wants to think like this, I can't do anything about it. Come, drink." Mei Tian laughed.(Reader: Why are you always drinking in your novels? Author: I'm a good drinker, but my alcohol tolerance is average haha).
After dinner, Merlin went to pay the bill while Mei Tian and Tang Wei went downstairs together. "Brother Tang, are you interested in my sister?”
"Hmm…Hmm?" Tang Wei was a little drunk, so he replied casually. He didn't expect Mei Tian to trick him.
"Don't be so wishy-washy. I'll give you a hint. If you like her, go for her. Good luck." Mei Tian walked to the front with a smile after encouraging Tang Wei.
This was the finishing touch. The rest was up to the two of them. This matter had basically been exposed by Mei Tian.
