Afterwards, Li Meiling explained in more detail the spear that he used.
“Basically, it is safe to say that all octagonal circles start with Jingak and end with Jingak. So, those who have entered the octagonal circle intensively learn the basic Geumgang Eightsik, especially the piercing called ‘Chungchu’, in order to learn this Jingak. In general, it is said that it takes three years to fully master the Chongqi. After you have solidified the basics, you go through a total of 3 stages of training. Only after going through all these processes, you can only learn the five virtues called the eight major herbs. Menghogwanchang is also one of the Eight Five Spirits, which is originally called ‘Magho Gyeong bankruptcy’.”
It’s a very difficult story, so I didn’t quite understand what she was talking about, but I could still get the point.
“Does that mean that it takes an incredibly long time for me to learn the skill of the Tiger Guan Spear?”
“Maybe or maybe not. No one knows how long it will take you to learn Jingak.”
Li Meiling shrugged as he said so.
I felt a strange emptiness, and rubbed my temples.
According to the explanation she just gave, it takes an average person three years to learn one of the most basic skills, Jingak.
And no matter how talented this body was, it was unlikely that he would be able to perfectly follow the martial arts he was learning for the first time in his life.
Even if you master the basics perfectly, didn’t you say that there are still three stages of training?
I didn’t think I could learn it in a few days.
But seeing me like that, Li Meiling said something similar to Hope Advisor.
“Anyway, I’m not telling you to become a master of the octagonal circle right now. However, it’s also true that the minimum skill to learn the Great Tiger Gwanchang is Jingak. Without Jingak’s weight shift, instantaneous destructive power cannot be drawn out.”
I understood what she was trying to say.
“First of all, you want to master the technique of advancing perfectly, right?”
“That’s right. If you want me to learn the Tiger Gwanchang.”
It’s good to learn, bad if you don’t.
Knowing that I had to go down anyway, I decided to try a time attack.
“Well, let’s try it.”
If a man draws a knife, shouldn’t he also cut a radish?

After hearing my answer, Li Meiling nodded with a satisfied expression and gave a demonstration of Jingak himself.
“Advance is basically a technique that uses weight shift to create explosive physical force at the point of impact. It’s a technique commonly used in octagonal circles as well as northern circles.”
Saying that, Meiling raised her right foot, placing her clenched fists on her belly button.
And the moment when the breath that you exhale and inhale at regular intervals stops –
phut!!
She stepped hard on the ground and extended her right fist at the same time.
It really happened in an instant, but I could feel just how amazing the skills she showed me were.
To express it as a simple stab, the momentum contained in that fist was by no means unusual.
“This is Chongchu.”
The advancement of Chinese martial arts, usually expressed in the mass media, was simply to hit the ground hard.
However, the advance she showed in front of her was quieter than expected, and the sequence that followed was very smooth.
As if they were connected from the beginning, the connection between Jingak and Chongchu was natural.
And I realized that this technique of chungchu is not much different from the preparedness of the Great Tiger Guanchang that she showed in Dalian yesterday.
“That’s why I said advance is essential.”
As I muttered with an understandable expression, Li Meiling laughed and said, huh.
“Even if it’s misguided, it’s because it’s made based on existing technology. That’s why all martial arts schools emphasize that the basics are the most important.”
I nodded and remembered the movement demonstration she had just given me.
Bring your hands together on top of your navel, and gently lift your leg in the same direction as your fist.
And by slightly twisting the legs while moving forward, the weight of the lower body was transferred to the upper body.
bang!
However, perhaps too much force was applied to the legs, only dust was blown off the ground that collided with the soles of the feet.
Just seeing it and doing it for yourself are definitely different.
Seeing me like that, Li Meiling said comfortingly.
“You can’t do well from the start, so you can practice whenever you have time. If you don’t know something, ask.”
“Yes. I’ll take a look.”
Still, I roughly understood what kind of technology the chungchu was.
In short, to put the weight divided into the upper body and lower body into the fist for a moment.
I already knew a technique similar to this.
Straight in boxing.
Although the movements and postures were different, the basic principle itself was quite similar.
The reason why I slightly twist my legs when throwing a straight punch was to put my weight on my fists.
But what I need to learn now is not chungchu, but jingak.
She said that if she repeats the basic period of Chongchu, she will naturally master the advanced angle, but it was probably because I was a science major, so she approached it theoretically.
I didn’t even notice the passing of time, repeating chung-chu in the park, recalling the countless martial arts I had seen before.
The Russian imperial home martial arts that Ivan used, Boris’ Combat Sambo, Sasha’s Sistema, the jujutsu we saw at Yagachine Dojo yesterday, and even the boxing of the two-heads.
Each had a different form and method, but in order to maximize the destructive power of the blow, there was at least one movement of putting the weight on the fist.
And I concentrate to melt all these experiences into my fist.
“Suh…”
Exhale and inhale again.
And for a moment, hold your breath and move forward.
bang!!
With a sound that sounded like breaking a sidewalk block, I straightened my right fist.
“……”
It definitely felt better than when I first did it, but it still felt like something was missing.
I thought this was due to the dissonance.
The head understands, but the body cannot keep up.
After possessing this body, it was the first time I had experienced such an experience.
So even more-
“fun.”
I fell in love with the first time I felt it.

Kim Yu-seong’s training, which started even before dawn, continued even after the sun rose in the middle of the sky.
At first, he tried to tell him to go home after spending a good amount of time, but Meiling couldn’t bring himself to stop because of the terrifying concentration he showed during Jingak training.
And he was actually growing fast.
At first, it was just a clumsy imitation, and the sound of Jingak, which seemed to destroy the cartilage of the knee, gradually changed as the number of repetitions increased.
And at some point, Chongchu, who felt somehow unnatural because he had not mastered the breathing technique unique to the octagonal circle, was moving towards the right path.
It was truly a monstrous talent.
How can you raise your skills to this level in half a day by self-studying the skills you’ve only shown once?
From a young age, she grew up listening to a prodigy, and even in her eyes, a man named Kim Yoo-seong was a huge chunk of talent.
It is even more surprising that a person of this size was not known at all until he defeated Ivan with his own blood and blood.
yet,
“ah.”
Even in the scorching heat of midsummer, silently repeating the same movements, he made an expression of realization.
Then he said to Meiling, who was resting in the shade.
“I think I’ve learned how to use the jingak, can you give it a try?”
From https://noblemtl.com
Meiling gladly accepted his request.
Anyway, since I’ve been observing the process of his training up to now, the failure count just went up by one more.
However-
Something was different this time around.
Raising his fists on the danjeon, he cleared his disturbed breathing and lifted his right foot lightly.
After practicing his advance for half a day countless times, there were footprints left and right in the soil around him.
On top of the countless footprints that had been piled up like that, his leg was once again strongly stamped.
phut!!
“uh?”
The first resounding, a light sound of the air bursting out.
With the perfect timing, the perfect stride, and the perfect round, he looked at Meiling with joy.
“Is this successful?”
It’s ridiculous.
No matter how much it is, the average person can complete the three-year course of learning in only half a day?
Li Meiling couldn’t help but stare at his happy face with a puzzled look on his face.
***
I went through a lot of hard work, but I found out that the trick to using Jingak was very easy.
I hope the timing of the deadlift and the force is similar to this.
That’s why men seem to have to go to the gym.
