Why is boxing less popular in China?

Speaking of sports, we will think of many things, such as football and basketball, which are sought after by most people, and table tennis, badminton and volleyball, which many China athletes are good at and can achieve good results. Not only ball games, but also track and field sports are enjoyed by many people, including our star athlete, Liu Xiang, who participated in the 1 10 meter hurdles. However, there is a sports field that few people know, even some people don't know that it belongs to sports, and that is boxing.

Boxing is a foreign thing China's traditional Wushu has a history of thousands of years, and China society has a very rich Wushu culture. Eighteen kinds of martial arts, such as knives, guns and clubs, are dizzying. How can we welcome a rude sport that looks like a bull's fist? Boxing can only use two fists, and the ornamental style of play is far from the elegance and agility of traditional martial arts.

But some people say that boxing is too simple, too straightforward and too unappreciative. Obviously, boxing is blind. The use of jab is enough to learn for a month, as well as footwork movement, defensive counterattack and good footwork.

Elegant and agile, punching as fast as lightning, continuous and rapid combination boxing is equally dazzling, and dodging is more flexible and free. The excitement is no less than witnessing a car accident. Top boxing matches are no less enjoyable than any other sport.

In fact, boxing was not handed down from China, nor did it meet the taste of China people. Boxing is too violent, which has nothing to do with China people not advocating force. From our Tai Chi, we can see that China people tend to play moderately and don't like face-to-face confrontation. Facing a powerful opponent, you can't face him face to face. It is the most effective way to solve it with intelligence.
