Is China really good at Kung Fu?

In fact, China's Kung Fu can be divided into two concepts: Kung Fu in a broad sense and Kung Fu in a narrow sense.

In a narrow sense, Kung Fu is actually the "China Wushu" that many people understand now. There are many experts, really or not, who have such theories and routines.

Kung fu in a broad sense is actually actual combat strength, and it is a kind of "killing trick" summed up in actual combat. Regardless of this technique, China's kung fu is still very strong.

Think that * * * at the beginning of the army was short of guns and bullets. In the Red Army, there were many critical moments when brandishing broadswords and rushing into enemy troops.

Sun Jixian, a famous Red Army star, led his troops to break through the Xiangjiang River in the bloody battle of the Long March. When the ammunition ran out, he took the lead in waving a broadsword and started hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. A man chased dozens of enemy soldiers, and finally opened his sword and fought his way out with his bare hands.

He Yanbing lost his right arm in the battle, then swung a broadsword with his left hand, and never suffered losses in hand-to-hand combat.

Li Jukui even witnessed the miracle of seizing a gun with bare hands in the face of traitors.

Undoubtedly, these "killing skills" recorded in historical materials should be real, but are they based on China's martial arts theory or routines? Or did you exercise in the actual life-and-death fight?

I believe in the latter more.

Therefore, in fact, I am very opposed to linking "martial arts" with "actual combat strength".

The performer, Tao also.

The so-called China Kung Fu should only be the explanation and practice of the concept of "Wushu" by China Wushu practitioners.

Martial artists are not required to have actual combat strength, just as management professors are required to manage large enterprises with thousands of people and doctors in finance are required to dominate the stock market.

I think this is a kind of "bullying the masses without culture".
