Flying Dragon Martial Arts Club.
Gao Zhengyang looked at the golden words on the plaque and couldn't help but smile. There was a fine line between vulgar and elegant.
The fat caddy Tong Sheng rubbed his hands awkwardly. "My dad thinks this name is very cool. Besides, it's based on the meaning of flying dragon in the sky from the Book of Changes. It's a good omen …"
"I know what flying dragon in the sky means."
Gao Zhengyang interrupted Tong Sheng. "Let's go in."
Tong Sheng smiled apologetically and helped Gao Zhengyang open the glass door. "It's Saturday. The coaches aren't here yet. I'll show you around …"
Flying Dragon Martial Arts Club's name was tacky, but it wasn't small. It occupied an entire floor and had an area of five to six hundred square meters.
In the middle was a standard fighting ring. There were all kinds of training equipment and equipment around. In the innermost part were two separate men's and women's changing rooms, a bathroom, and a toilet.
There was no one in the club now. It was empty and looked extremely spacious.
Gao Zhengyang took a look around and was satisfied with the facilities and environment here. It was indeed the best martial arts club in Shang Jiang.
Tong Sheng's face was filled with pride after receiving Gao Zhengyang's praise. "The club has three coaches, all of whom have participated in the Federation Martial Arts Competition and achieved good results. The best is Chief Coach Zhao Fang, who won the King of Combat's golden belt. He's just a little old and can't fight anymore. But he's very experienced … "
Gao Zhengyang nodded. "How much do you charge for the student fees?"
Tong Sheng waved his hand generously. "We're classmates. How can I charge you? I'll pay for it."
"I don't like to take advantage of others."
Gao Zhengyang said seriously, "Classmates are classmates and business is business. Don't mix it up."
Tong Sheng was just being polite. He didn't have the final say here. Moreover, the management of the fitness center was very formal. It would be troublesome if he brought people over for training.
"It's more expensive to hire a coach. It's four to one thousand per class. It's cheaper to sign up for training here. It's only one thousand and five hundred per month …"
Tong Sheng said, "I can give you the highest level VIP card with a 75% discount. A thousand yuan a month should be enough. "
Gao Zhengyang thought it was a little expensive. He didn't care about the money, but he didn't want to attract too much attention. Moreover, he did not need a coach, nor did he need the training equipment here.
However, if he wanted to buy the medicine, he had to pay the fees.
Fearing that Gao Zhengyang would be unhappy, Tong Sheng explained, "Combat isn't the same as ordinary bodybuilding. The threshold is high, and so is the cost. Like the gym downstairs, a thousand yuan is enough for an annual membership. "
Gao Zhengyang said, "It's fine. I still have a few thousand yuan. Help me get a monthly card for two months first. "
"Alright, I'll take you there."
Tong Sheng attentively led Gao Zhengyang down to the first floor and applied for a monthly club membership at the front desk. Gao Zhengyang paid with his phone and got his monthly card on the spot.
Fatty Tong Sheng smiled very happily. He not only made money for his family, but also helped Gao Zhengyang. He had both the inside and the outside world.
When Gao Zhengyang returned to the combat club on the fourth floor, he found that there were already people inside.
Two strong young men in vests were skipping rope rhythmically.
Seeing Tong Sheng come in, both of them nodded to him. One of them even said, "Young Master Tong, bring your classmates here to play."
Tong Sheng's father was very domineering, and he was tightly controlled. Calling him Young Master Tong was just a joke. But Tong Sheng still enjoyed it. In front of Gao Zhengyang, he also felt that he had a lot of face.
"Brother Huang, Brother Xu, you're here so early …"
Tong Sheng greeted them with a smile, then introduced, "This is my classmate, Gao Zhengyang. He's here to train at the club. Please take care of him in the future, Brother Huang and Brother Xu. "
Tong Sheng then introduced to Gao Zhengyang, "Brother Huang teaches mixed martial arts, and Brother Xu teaches Muay Thai and martial arts …"
Gao Zhengyang also greeted them politely, "Hello, Coach Huang, Coach Xu."
Huang Ziyuan was more mature, so he nodded and didn't say anything.
Xu Cheng was younger, so he was also more aggressive. He didn't really like the sharpness between Gao Zhengyang's brows. He raised his thick eyebrows and said with a faint smile, "Little brother, you look like you have a good figure. Have you trained before?"
"I learned some martial arts." Gao Zhengyang could see that Xu Cheng was a little unfriendly, but he didn't care. He was here to find a channel, so there was no need to please anyone, and there was no need to be humble.
Xu Cheng was even more interested, "Martial arts? Is it Tai Chi, Ba Ji, or Xing Yi?"
Xu Cheng's tone was naturally disdainful and contemptuous.
Although traditional martial arts had declined, they had a strong foundation and many schools of thought passed down from all over the world. Especially Tai Chi, which was the first choice for uncles and aunties in the park to exercise. It had a great influence in the Federation.
Modern combat was flourishing, and all kinds of ancient traditional combat were repackaged and promoted. Karate and Taekwondo, for example, had spread to all parts of the world through strong promotion.
Traditional martial arts like Tai Chi and Ba Ji were a step slower. In addition, the Federation's economy wasn't doing well in the past few years, so they hadn't been able to develop in this area.
When the 21st century arrived, Taekwondo and Karate became popular, greatly squeezing the survival space of traditional martial arts sects like Tai Chi and Ba Ji. Traditional martial arts were declining day by day.
What was worse was that in all kinds of competition arenas, there was no sign of traditional martial arts. Now, traditional martial arts were regarded as fancy in the combat world, and their days were even more difficult.
Gao Zhengyang also admitted that traditional martial arts had many disadvantages. Especially since it was completely cut off from modern combat, it couldn't complete the integration, so it was naturally abandoned by modern combat.
Any combat technique that could be passed down over time would definitely have its own value. It was just that the times were developing, and society was advancing. Combat skills should also continue to develop and improve.
Behind closed doors, calling oneself the king was definitely not convincing. But it wasn't as if he was completely useless.
Arena combat had to pay attention to the rules. The so-called unruly combat still had many restrictions after all. After all, this was a modern civilized society, not an ancient Roman Colosseum.
Arena combat was awesome, but in actual combat on the streets, it might not be able to dominate. Because the environment of actual combat on the streets was complicated. Fighters who were used to fighting one on one might be stabbed to death in the back.
This wasn't to say that arena combat skills were not powerful. But that all combat skills had their own restrictions. A true powerhouse had to adapt to different environments and different enemies.
Gao Zhengyang could do that now. His extremely sensitive sixth sense was actually the fundamental gap between him and a normal Grandmaster of Combat.
A low-level fighter like Xu Cheng couldn't last more than a second against him. Xu Cheng's physical fitness was not bad, slightly stronger than his current state. But regardless of combat skills or experience, the difference between the two was too big.
Generally speaking, unless there was a special ability. Otherwise, no matter how strong a Grandmaster of Combat was, their vital points couldn't withstand a hit from an expert of the same level.
Of course, under the protection of the arena rules, both sides wouldn't hit vital points. This also ensured the safety and spectator value of the competition.
Xu Cheng, who grew up in the modern combat system, naturally had extreme disdain for traditional martial arts. He couldn't be blamed.
Gao Zhengyang naturally wouldn't lower himself to Xu Cheng's level, saying, "I learned Tai Chi for a few years."
"There's an old saying in martial arts, Tai Chi doesn't go out for ten years. You're not even at the age to go out yet, haha … "Xu Cheng teased.
Gao Zhengyang didn't bat an eyelid, "It's because I haven't practiced enough."
Tong Sheng was a little embarrassed, Xu Cheng's attitude was obviously not friendly. He forced a smile, "Brother Xu, you guys do what you need to do."
He then said to Gao Zhengyang, "Let's go out for lunch first? There's a roast goose next door, it's really delicious, I'll treat you. "
Gao Zhengyang shook his head, "No need, I just ate. I'll go change first and get used to it here, don't worry about me. "
Tong Sheng said helplessly, "Then I'll accompany you to the changing room."
After Tong Sheng and Gao Zhengyang left, Huang Ziyuan said to Xu Cheng, "Is it fun to show off in front of a kid?"
Xu Cheng looked wronged, "Brother Huang, I didn't. It's just that that kid was so arrogant, as if practicing martial arts is so awesome, I hate people who don't know anything the most. "
"He's Tong Sheng's classmate, you should at least give Tong Sheng some face."
Huang Ziyuan said.
Xu Cheng said with a smile, "Don't worry, Brother Huang, I won't hit him. I'll just teach him some fighting knowledge. Otherwise, he'll think that he's invincible just because he learned a little Tai Chi. "
Huang Ziyuan couldn't control Xu Cheng, and seeing that Xu Cheng wasn't listening, he didn't want to say more. At the end of the day, Gao Zhengyang had nothing to do with him, and it wasn't worth arguing with a colleague over a stranger.
Of course, Huang Ziyuan also looked down on Xu Cheng. As a professional boxer, he actually found a middle school student to show off. His character was really not bad.
After a while, Gao Zhengyang came out. He changed into a pair of sports shorts and a short-sleeved shirt. He was relatively thin now, and although the muscles in his limbs were a little defined, they couldn't compare to a muscular man like Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng looked at Gao Zhengyang from top to bottom, "Little brother, your body is too thin, you need to increase your muscle mass."
Without waiting for Gao Zhengyang to speak, Xu Cheng said, "Don't believe in that kind of thing. How can there be such a thing? In the end, strength is the foundation, followed by technique. "
Gao Zhengyang nodded, no matter what kind of person Xu Cheng was, his words were not wrong.
In modern fighting, a person's body shape determined the way to exert force, and also determined the basic framework of fighting.
However, this was limited to ordinary fighting. If Guo Shu was trained to the extreme, the body's vitality would be a hundred times stronger than an ordinary person. It far exceeded the limits of an ordinary person. It couldn't be measured with common sense.
There were also many secret sects in foreign countries, such as the Vatican's Holy Knights, the Skull and Bones Association, the Dark Angels, and so on. They all had some extraordinary experts.
The extraordinary here referred to exceeding the limits of an ordinary person, possessing all kinds of inconceivable power. However, these powers were all based on the extreme extension of the human body.
Only those with super high talent, through hard work and the combination of all kinds of harsh conditions, could be cultivated to have power beyond the limits of an ordinary person.
Some ancient sects and organizations all had this kind of cultivation system. Each country also had their own training methods. For example, the Undying King Kong was the highest masterpiece of the Federation's human body technology.
When Gao Zhengyang was the Undying King Kong, he had contact with the experts of various countries. There was no lack of people who were stronger than him, had better fighting skills, and even had very special abilities.
However, these experts couldn't fly, and they weren't human shaped nuclear bombs. It was just that the power they possessed allowed them to run amok in the world of ordinary people.
Just like the dark web on the Internet, there was also an inner world in the depths of this world. Those experts with extreme power formed a semi-closed circle together.
This powerful force also influenced and even controlled the world through various means.
For a boxer like Xu Cheng, even if he won an award in an international fighting competition, he would still be in the category of ordinary people. He had almost no chance to come into contact with the inner world.
Therefore, strictly speaking, it wasn't that Xu Cheng was ignorant.
Gao Zhengyang could tolerate Xu Cheng's ignorance, but Xu Cheng felt that Gao Zhengyang was too arrogant.
Xu Cheng suggested, "Why don't I teach you Muay Thai …"
Tong Sheng was afraid that something would happen and hurriedly said, "Brother Xu, there's no need. It's his monthly card, I don't dare to trouble you. "
Xu Cheng said, "It's fine, he's your classmate, I'll teach him for free!"
"No need." Gao Zhengyang flatly refused.
Xu Cheng's face was full of surprise, he felt that Gao Zhengyang didn't know what was good for him.
Gao Zhengyang said, "With all due respect, your level is too low, you're not qualified to teach me."
