People who are good at martial arts, it is difficult for ordinary people to see the depth of their strength from the surface, only real masters, after two or three rounds of moves, can roughly judge the level of the opponent.
In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the domestic political situation was turbulent, and the internal and external difficulties were difficult, and many martial arts halls came into being to teach martial arts skills and train many martial arts masters, who became famous and highly respected by the world.
Although Huo Yuanjia has a very high martial arts status in people's hearts, and his story has been adapted by many works of art, including Jay Chou's song "Huo Yuanjia", in fact, he was defeated and lost the match in just two moves in a martial arts competition.
This reminds us that no matter how high we have achieved in a particular field, we should not take it lightly, otherwise we may fall behind at a critical moment.
Li Ruidong, a former Cixi bodyguard, is teaching students in his martial arts hall. When Huo Yuanjia walked into his martial arts hall, he didn't come to kick the gym, but to learn from Li Ruidong.
At that time, Huo Yuanjia had not yet opened the Jingwu Sect, and he did not have the fame he later had. For those who practice martial arts, competition is the norm, and Li Ruidong also welcomes this opportunity to understand their level through competition, which is also a way of life for them.
Li Ruidong welcomed Huo Yuanjia's challenge with an open and respectful attitude, and he understood that there was a gap in the strength of the two, so he did not act immediately, but chose to give Huo Yuanjia a chance to let him play his next game to see if he could shake his position.
Huo Yuanjia understood Li Ruidong's intentions, he did not hesitate, but prepared and kicked Li Ruidong hard.
After Huo Yuanjia tried many kicks, he found that Li Ruidong had not moved, and he didn't even seem to have any effect. Huo Yuanjia realized that his strength was far inferior to Li Ruidong, and decided to ask him for other skills.
The two tried boxing, but Huo Yuanjia still lost badly and was completely unable to compete with Li Ruidong.
The battle between the two ended with the aim of competing skills, not a life-and-death struggle. This competition made Huo Yuanjia realize the gap between himself and others, stimulated his in-depth study of martial arts, and promoted the continuous improvement of his skills.
Huo Yuanjia's reputation is like thunder, and his story has even been put on the screen, but his ** Li Ruidong has been ignored by people. Despite the huge difference in the timing of the two men's encounters, their influence has not diminished.
Huo Yuanjia, an unknown porter in the Tianjin Concession, but possessed extraordinary strength and wrestling skills, so he was quite famous in the local area. For young people, if they want to win people's recognition and make their own reputation, Huo Yuanjia decided to challenge the famous Li Ruidong.
Li Ruidong, Cixi's bodyguard, was born in a famous family, his family was wealthy, and he had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, so he had the opportunity to pursue what he really loved.
Li Ruidong was envious of those people in the mansion who were as light as swallows, wielding knives and guns, and he dreamed of becoming a martial arts master. However, after consulting a specialized teacher, his progress was meteoric, and with his outstanding martial arts talent, he was able to defeat many opponents in no time.
This made Li Ruidong ecstatic, but he understood that there were more masters in this world, and it wasn't until he met Wang Lanting that he realized that his martial arts were insignificant.
Following Wang Lanting and other famous teachers, Li Ruidong continued to study martial arts, and his skills became more and more exquisite. By chance, he demonstrated extraordinary martial arts in front of Cixi, which was deeply appreciated by Cixi, and was exceptionally promoted to a guard with a sword, responsible for Cixi's safety, and he also had the opportunity to teach Emperor Guangxu some boxing techniques.
When Cixi fled, Li Ruidong escorted him all the way, and although the situation was complex and changeable at that time, no one questioned his ability.
Li Ruidong, a martial artist who was not from a martial arts family, returned home when he was past the age of six, opened his own martial arts hall, and taught ** wholeheartedly. His outstanding feature is that his nose is larger than usual, and people affectionately call him "Nose Lee".
Although no one else in his family was keen on martial arts, he earned a reputation and status with his talent and hard work, as well as his excellent martial arts.
In the past, people admired people with their unique skills, and Li Ruidong won the admiration of everyone for his experience as a personal bodyguard by Cixi's side, and this reputation was enough to attract many apprentices to come to study.
Even when Huo Yuanjia came to challenge, he still focused on educating his students and did not relax his teaching because of the disturbance of outsiders. Li Ruidong deeply felt that the country was in danger, and his heart was filled with grief when he watched the people live in dire straits.
He once took the initiative to put forward the slogan of strengthening the body and rejuvenating the nation with martial arts, calling on more people to learn martial arts and stand up against the enemy.
His Tai Chi has been passed down for a long time and is highly regarded, and many people still devote themselves to learning it. What is even more admirable is that Li Ruidong, as a martial arts enthusiast, has always maintained a chivalrous spirit and a deep love for the motherland.
