Why is there no record of traditional martial arts masters fighting in China?

China's traditional martial arts are described with endless mystery in movies, TV series and novels, from Shaolin teenagers under the age of 10 in Shaolin Pop to dozens of Japanese soldiers in Ip Man, all of them were knocked down like chopping melons and chopping vegetables. As a result, everyone greatly overestimated the power of China's traditional martial arts, and thought that martial arts masters could do anything. Then, in China's 5,000-year history, why is there no official record of martial arts experts fighting to kill the enemy? To understand this problem, we must first have a correct understanding of traditional Wushu. Is traditional martial arts awesome? The answer is awesome. Many of these moves can defeat the enemy with one move, and even cause disability and death. Only the premise is that the other side should cooperate, or the strength gap between the two sides is too big, otherwise it is difficult to play these moves in normal combat. To give a very inappropriate example, let a 50 kg master (not only traditional martial arts, muay Thai Sanda, etc. ) hit an ordinary person with a high probability, but let him try to hit a fat man of 150 kg? I stood there and asked you to fight. Did you fight? "Four or two" is more about expressing the importance of a certain skill. It is definitely impossible for an 80-year-old man to dial a 300-pound person. So everyone must have a correct understanding of traditional Wushu. Can you make a phone call? Yes, if you don't believe me, an ordinary person who hasn't practiced martial arts can definitely beat us when fighting with a martial arts practitioner, and his physical strength alone can surpass us a lot. Can you play ten at a time? Don't even think about it! On the premise of this correct understanding, we can correctly explain why there are no traditional martial arts masters against the enemy since ancient times. Next, let's look at how ancient wars were fought. In ancient wars, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people met each other, not just shouting "kill" as everyone imagined. Instead, we set up the formation first and then go up to fight, which is very tacit. It can be seen that formation is very important for ancient wars. Formation is the most important thing to form a whole, * * * in and out, uniform. Only in this way can the maximum power of the formation be exerted. Even if one person can't keep up with the team or rush out, the whole formation may be broken up, which is basically equivalent to losing the war. So why is formation so important? Even has a very far-reaching impact on the direction of the war? Hundreds of years ago, we had the most say with Europe. In modern times, Turkey attacked Europe all the way to the gates of Vienna, occupying almost the whole of Europe, but Europeans hit back at Turkey with flintlock guns. Why? It is because the Turkish army has always paid attention to mastering all kinds of martial arts that everyone wants to show off on the battlefield. Europeans are not as skilled as those before the invention of flintlock, and the country is too small to organize a large-scale army, so they are always passively beaten. However, since the invention of the flintlock gun and its supporting formation, the fighting capacity of Europeans has doubled. Aren't you Turks proficient in everything? I'll line up to shoot. After the first row was finished, I squatted down to install the second row. If it's too late, I can come to two more rows, so that the bullet can hit you without gap. Knives, guns and clubs are useless to you. You can't get through. Turks train a soldier for an average of 6 years, and they have to learn everything from knives, guns and sticks. It only takes three months for Europeans to train a soldier. Don't understand anything else, you can shoot, you can go forward and backward at the command, you can squat, you can stand up, you can turn left and right. So over time, the whole war situation will naturally become stronger for Europeans. China's best formation is Qigujun. The Yuanyang Array invented by Qi Jiguang consists of twelve people, some with shields, some with spears and some with knives. They cooperated with each other and helped each other, so they just defeated the martial arts enemy in flight. Round personal strength, the enemy is trained for many years and has a perfect swordsman with a knife; Qi Jiajun are farmers, miners and enemies brought by Qi Jiguang from Yiwu. I don't know how many times stronger than QiGuJun's personal strength. But Qi Jiguang's formation made the enemy useless. Therefore, instead of spending a long time training soldiers to know everything and constantly enhance their personal strength, it is better to study an array method that can defeat the enemy. It can not only speed up the training of soldiers, but also improve our own combat level. It can be seen that in the war, the influence of formation on the outcome of the war is far greater than individual strength. From this point of view, no matter how powerful the martial arts master is, even the generals in important formations will not let him go into battle to kill the enemy. Therefore, it is normal for martial arts masters not to appear in the war. Although traditional Wushu is not as magical as we thought, it is one of the cultures that have been circulating in China for thousands of years. We may not like it, but it still deserves our understanding and respect.
