Chapter 231 First of All
Gana stared out the window, thinking, "The representative fighter of Teito University, Takamura Mamoru, is very powerful. So far, his abilities are very similar to mine.
I call this ability 'the first of the first'.
The so-called "before the opponent's move" actually means intercepting the opponent's attack in advance based on predicting the opponent's move.
As soon as the opponent has the idea of attacking, even before he makes a move, his attack intention will be seen through and intercepted by me in advance, thus making his offensive collapse. "
[Popular Science: The so-called "senior of the seniors" in Kengan is actually derived from the Three Seniors of Japanese Kendo.
There is a very important tactical concept in Japanese Kendo, "Three Firsts" talks about the rules and principles of taking the lead in attacking. In layman's terms, it means "the first to strike is the strongest". In Kendo, two armies face off, neither of them gives in. "First" is not something that can be easily obtained, it is something that is snatched in the struggle for opportunity, so "Three Firsts" actually means "taking the lead" in getting the opportunity.
There are three kinds of precedence: "First precedes first", "First precedes first" and "Last precedes first".
The first of the first is about "rushing to attack". This is very familiar to everyone in table tennis and volleyball, that is, "rushing to attack after serving". It means that, first, you should focus on attacking and rush to attack first. If you always defend and don't attack, even if you are an eighth-dan player, you will lose to a first-dan player. This principle is very simple. Second, when the opponent thinks he can attack, I have already attacked. When he wants to move, I will move. Third, when the opponent raises his sword and starts to move, see through his mind and attack accordingly. This last "rushing to attack" is a skill to attack the opponent's weak points. Of course, this requires higher skills and is the highest skill among the "three firsts". This is the "first" of attack consciousness divided according to the time sequence of the opponent's attack. "The first of the first" forms two sequences of rushing to attack in "attack" and "attack at the end".
The first of the first refers to the attack during the dodge, that is, the drawing and striking technique. This is equivalent to the famous "cross punch" in boxing and the stabbing in fencing, where the dodge and the stab occur at the same time. Chinese martial arts call it "no attack, no defense, just one strike." This is the "first" of the attack determined by the opponent's initial attack behavior.
The "back first" refers to the tactic of counterattacking after dodging, blocking or knocking down the opponent's sword. It is called "back first" because it is based on the opponent's attack. This "first" is "defense and counterattack" in form, but psychologically it should be the same as dodging and defending, defending and attacking at the same time. It tries to interrupt the rhythm in the middle, take the initiative to counterattack, entangle the opponent, do not lose distance, do not lose time, chase the opponent's retreat, and pursue and attack hard. It seems to be the same as counterattack, but it is completely different from the counterattack in initiative and purpose. If compared, this skill is a bit like the second half of the Chinese martial arts proverb "If you don't attack or block, you will only attack once, but if you attack and block, you will attack ten times", while the first half of the sentence is about "drawing and attacking". "Back first" is the "first" of attack made according to the concept of striking back in the offensive sequence. In terms of time, it is half a beat slower than "first first" and one to half a beat slower than "first first first", which shows that it is a bad strategy.
In fact, Kano-ga's "first of first" is more like the "first of first of first" in the three firsts of Japanese Kendo, which is an offensive and defensive concept that the opponent will be intercepted as soon as he has the idea of attacking. 】
Silence, a deathly silence enveloped the entire auditorium; even the sound of breathing seemed to be swallowed up by the oppression.
“Nothing to say, his strength is simply outrageous!
This Avenger, who has risen from the abyss like a raging hellfire, is now launching a fierce attack on the king of the world heavyweight boxing arena. "
Kaname Kaname's commentary was like a flash of lightning, breaking through the dullness in the scene and awakening everyone's nerves.
In the audience, discussions surged like a tide.
"How is this possible? The fist of the fighting god Jiaoran has no effect on the great demon king Ying Muramori!"
“Unbelievable, this doesn’t make sense!
I have high hopes for the Fighting God in this round and have placed a huge bet!"
“It seems that times are really changing.
The return of Takamura Mori is unstoppable. Even Gaolang, who is known as the god of war, cannot resist his edge. "
Yingcunshou fixed Gaolang Wensavado with a cold gaze and said in a low and cold voice: "If you don't want to be defeated, use all your strength.
With boxing alone, you are no match for me."
These words were like a heavy hammer, deeply shaking Gaolang's heart.
“Three years, just three years, what on earth did he go through?
Not only did he stand up from the despair of being paralyzed, his strength has also improved by leaps and bounds. Compared to three years ago, the difference is simply heaven and earth."
Thinking of this, Gaolang's fighting posture changed quietly.
He abandoned boxing's "killer stance" in favor of Muay Thai's "tiger stride."
The center of gravity of the body sank, and the hind feet were firmly rooted in the ground, like a tiger ready to pounce, ready for a more intense battle.
Seeing that the fighting god Gaolang finally took up the Muay Thai "Tiger Stride" stance that combined fists and feet, Takamura Mamoru's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile.
"That's right. Only when I defeat you who have given your all can I feel truly happy."
Then Takamura Shou yelled at Gaolang, “Come on!
Gaolang Wensavado, let's have a good fight. "
[Popular Science: Muay Thai Stance - Tiger Stride
Among the many stances in Muay Thai, the most iconic one is the "Tiger Stride". This stance not only carries the essence of Muay Thai, but is also famous for its unique form and combat effectiveness.
When boxers adopt the "tiger step", their fingers will naturally open, resembling sharp tiger claws, and the whole body posture is like a tiger coming down the mountain, unstoppable and majestic. Therefore, this standing posture is named "tiger step", which aptly depicts its mighty momentum.
From a technical perspective, the "Tiger Stride" has several notable features. First, its center of gravity is relatively high and slightly biased towards the back leg, which allows the boxer to be more flexible and powerful when launching a leg attack. The center of gravity is at the back, which makes it easier for the boxer to shift the center of gravity in an instant, thereby exerting the maximum power of the legs. At the same time, this stance also helps the boxer use the knee and shin of the back leg to block, enhancing defensive capabilities.
In addition, the "Tiger Stride" also emphasizes the separation and extension of the arms. This is because the sweeping kick in Muay Thai is extremely powerful. If the arms are too close to the body, they can easily become a breakthrough point for the opponent's attack. Separating the arms can more effectively defend against attacks from the side, and the hands can also be stretched out for defense, forming an indestructible line of defense. This "baring teeth and claws" posture not only enhances the boxer's momentum, but also makes him more comfortable in actual combat.
In summary, the "Tiger Stride", as an important stance in Muay Thai, is not only powerful in attack but also provides a good defense mechanism. It requires the boxer to maintain body balance while flexibly using his limbs to switch between offense and defense, showing the unique charm and practical value of Muay Thai.
