Is your martial arts real or showy?

Fancy is a theoretical thing, so there are also fancy in traditional martial arts, such as boxing or free fighting in the west. For example, when punching, how to hide, how to unload, how to defend, how to fight back, and how to practice show are all slow motions, so it seems reasonable, but in actual combat, the speed and strength of the opponent's fist may be much stronger. There are also people who practice holding knives, taking so much and taking so much, and practicing themselves has a theoretical basis. In fact, when the knife flashed, or the other side made a short knife, it was stabbed without any response.

If you want to have real kung fu, you must integrate theory with practice, that is, you must fight with people. For example, people who used to practice martial arts, either by themselves or with their masters, had to go out to wander the rivers and lakes and challenge different opponents. Only in this way can we produce real kung fu on the basis of theory.

This is like learning physics, learning theoretical physics, and applying physics only after you have a foundation.
