"No matter what kind of martial arts, achieving proficiency is never an overnight matter, especially for you now, apart from mastering archery, you know nothing about anything else."
"So, you need to start with the basics. Once you've mastered the basics, I can teach you the fist techniques. This training is very tedious, even more so than practicing archery. It might take you a few years, or even a lifetime to achieve success. Are you mentally prepared for this?"
The man with the crippled leg asked.
Chen Fan took a deep breath and replied without hesitation, "I am."
"Good, I hope by then you can really stick it out."
He spoke in an unruffled tone, but inwardly he thought, with this kid's perseverance and talent, perhaps he might indeed bring a surprise.
"Uncle Zhang..."
Zhao Feng, who stood nearby, gathered his courage and said, "I also want to learn the fist techniques from you."
"Me too."
"Uncle Zhang, I..."
The rest all hurriedly echoed.
Who wouldn't want to possess power and live a better life?
The man with the crippled leg wasn't surprised and said blandly, "Teaching one is teaching, teaching several is also teaching. The only fear is that you all might not be able to persist."
Everyone became excited immediately and swore to heaven.
Compared to the others, Zhao Feng was much quieter, with a determined fire in his eyes.
"Alright."
The man with the crippled leg waved his hand, "Since you all want to learn, let's start then."
"Gulp."
Even Chen Fan swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Are we really starting now?
"No matter what martial arts are practiced, it all starts from the most basic posture stance. Without the posture stance, your legs will be weak, and your posture will deform when you strike, ultimately making the efforts futile. Therefore, to build power and solidify your foundation, you must practice posture stance."
The crowd nodded intensely like chicks pecking at rice, eyes filled with anticipation.
"Posture stance is the foundation, and what I will teach you next is the basics of posture stance, called the Infinite Stance. Only with Small Success in Infinite Stance can you practice the Tai Chi Stance. Once Tai Chi Stance is mastered, you can formally learn the Tai Chi Fist. "
If unsatisfied, you can continue learning the Three Body Stance, which is the start of all variations in stance techniques. As the saying goes, all changes stem from the Three Body Form. Mastering the Three Body Form stance allows you to learn Xingyi Fist. Not only Xingyi Fist, techniques like Five Animals Qigong, Eight Trigrams Palm, and others can be learned."
The crowd appeared troubled upon hearing this.
You have to train Infinite Stance first, then Tai Chi Stance, followed by Tai Chi Fist?
And to learn Xingyi Fist, you still need to practice Three Body Stance after Tai Chi Stance?
How long will that take?
"What, you already find it difficult?"
The man with the crippled leg snorted coldly, "This is inner strength, the most crucial aspect. Training in martial techniques without inner strength is futile when old. Not to mention, you haven't even started with the basic hand seals, basic leg techniques, and basic step techniques. You must begin from scratch with these! It is still not too late to regret now."
Saying this, he glanced at everyone, "Those who still want to continue, step forward."
Chen Fan stepped forward cheerfully.
Zhao Feng followed closely.
After exchanging glances, Wang Ping and the others also stepped forward.
"Heh."
The man with the crippled leg smiled meaningfully, "Nobody's quitting? Good, then let's start with standing in the Infinite Stance for an hour. Once you've done that, I'll teach you the basic hand seal."
Infinite Stance: the practitioner stands upright with both hands naturally hanging down, head held steady, chin slightly retracted, breathing naturally, imagining themselves merging with nature.
