Chapter 40 – Huaxia Wushu Society (2/2)
I turned my head back and saw a face that looked like it definitely needed a beating. There was even a bandage on the age—— No, it should be a bandage that represented something, normally Japanese and Koreans liked to tie these stuff of their head, I don’t know which country’s martial arts this bro, that needs a beating, practices.
“Yang Wei, when did your karate society start getting involved with the business of our Huaxia Wushu Society?” Ding Wenfeng was rather civilized and didn’t immediately explode, if it was someone with a bad temper, they would have started beating him already.
“I’m getting depressed, in the martial arts societies within our Huaxia University, your Huaxia Wushu Society is the weakest, you might as well disband it, you are taking funding every year, you might as well give it to our Karate Society, this way we can get a few more sports on the national competition!” said Yang Wei.
“Our Huaxia Wushu Society will also get prizes!” Ding Wenfeng thought about it and said. Actually, with his current ability, getting a prize in the national sanda competitions was very easy, the main problem is that he trained in ancient Huaxia martial arts since a young age, all of his moves are old ones, he doesn’t have any knowledge for real sanda. Even if he wanted to learn, he could accidentally use those moves that he practiced since youth, if he went to participate in competitions like this, it would definitely cause shock in the society, this was something he didn’t want to see.
However, most of the students now worshipped foreigners, and ignored real Huaxia Wushu, instead, they go and study some stuff like juda, karate, or taekwondo that developed from ancient huaxia martial arts.
Although Huaxia’s ancient martial arts have fallen, the new type has also risen. That was sanda. Sanda is also called free-hand, there were a lot of names for it in Huaxia history, such as “xiangpu”, “shoubo”, “baida” (hakuda), “duichai” and “jiji” etc. Since a lot of contests used a ring, it was also called “ring combat” between the civilians. Yet, there is a fundamental difference between the current sanda and traditional sanda.
The current sanda is a sports competition that has two people use the kicks, hits, throws, defence etc. from martial arts compete within a certain set of rules, it is an important portion of Huaxia’s martial arts.
The current sanda is rather similar to USA’s mixed martial arts, it can even go into competition together. Of course, since Huaxia’s sanda had evolved from ancient martial arts, so its practitioners were among the top of the world for similar combat events!
“Ha! With this new brat?” Although Yang Wei mocked Huaxia Wushu Society openly, he didn’t dare to do that directly to Ding Wenfeng, because he has heard people say that Ding Wenfeng is not weak, he just doesn’t make a move easily. Although this is just a rumor, but Yang Wei has always been cowardly, he never offend anyone he can’t afford to. This is related to the education he received since he was young, as a branch family of the Liu family of the Six Renowned Families, his father taught him from a young age that he is a son that was married into the Liu family, Yang Wei is only a branch of the Liu family, born from a Liu woman, so the family head has never put any importance onto him. However, the chance has come, in Yang Wei’s generation, the Liu family doesn’t have a single male, perhaps this is Yang Wei’s chance to become the next family head. Yet, this is only their thought, the family head of the Liu family has never thought of handing the family properties to someone with a foreign surname. Or else, wouldn’t they be mocked to death by the other renowned families? Was the huge Liu family supposed to be changed to the Yang family?
It was because of this that Yang Wei’s father had taught Yang Wei since a young age that he had to be clear about his position first! Although the Yang family is beyond amazing compared to normal civilians, Yang Wei’s father Yang Shuzhuang was the director of a medium size company. This company is actually the property of the Liu family, he was just in charge of managing it. Despite that, it gave Yang Wei a lot of face in front of his friends.
At the start, when Yang Wei did not take his father’s advice to heart, but even since something happened to his biaoge, he toned down his actions a lot.
