Twenty years runner-up martial arts martial arts
27-year-old European Summer Health and whole body exudes Yi Gu Ying gas, he had just held in Shandong Binzhou Eleventh National Games Wushu competitions, winning the silver medal in men’s nanquan all-around competition. European Summer Health and martial arts for 20 years, from a loss of ignorance as the strength of superior growth of naughty young martial arts master, but also witnessed the great changes in martial arts sports drama. And all of this period martial arts athlete, who hides behind efforts to adhere to the traditional Chinese martial arts to the art of attack and combat skills, and Wu De chivalrous spirit of the pursuit, one hand are the traditional Chinese martial arts and modern sports difficult learn to adapt to the reform of integration. As an athlete, European Summer Health and inability to change the direction of the reform of traditional Chinese martial arts, but his heart is the most earnest desire to carry forward the traditional Chinese martial arts.
European Summer students above the left eye, left eyebrow, and chin, etc. have a palpable injury, “This is a martial arts for many years has left me with a memorial.” European Summer Health said with a smile, “every day to deal with a variety of cold steel, Daogun heartless, injuries are not something impossible. “European Summer Health now has 20 multiple body injuries, most of them trauma, this is martial arts athletes and other athletes were injured in a major difference between athletes in other sports more yes joints, soft tissue and other internal injuries.
Now, however, suffered internal injuries martial arts athletes more and more, and European Summer Health pointed to his right foot, “said the foot joints only have old wounds have been for many years. But be lucky like me . Now, a lot of martial arts athletes have been a big injury serious illness in the body. “Here again, the European Summer Health and laughed helplessly,” Historically, the martial arts in popular production, a very important reason is to keep fit and healthy, but now, martial arts and sports linked together, but lost the properties of physical fitness. ”
20 years ago, the European Summer precisely because of frail health has been his mother sent him to an amateur sports school in Guangxi. “Mother wanted me to exercise, to enhance physical fitness.” European Summer Health and recalled, “maybe it is fate, I set up a number of amateur sports school subjects picks of the martial arts.”
Armed with a master martial arts film and television works, chivalrous spirit of worship, European Summer Health began martial arts way, “there are many kids around at that time in the amateur sports school practicing martial arts, I think the attractiveness for young people, when there is no sign of show, martial arts and table tennis, badminton, gymnastics and other sports compared to China’s advantage of a disadvantage. ”
However, many years later, when the European Summer Health and a gradual shift from an amateur athlete to become a professional athlete, he was a growing awareness in the Chinese sports circle, far less than the status of martial arts, such as table tennis, badminton, gymnastics and diving for the Chinese delegation at the Olympics to win gold and silver medals of the project, even though the art is a unique national essence of China’s sports industry.
In 2001, after Beijing’s successful Olympic bid, and a lot of martial arts athlete, European Summer Health started to pay attention Wushu into the Olympic Games news, “There is no doubt that, if we can enter the Olympic Games, Wushu will definitely usher in a great development opportunity, we have the fate of these martial arts athletes, will undergo major changes. For instance, if martial arts into the Olympics, then I probably will not retire now. ”
But the end result reckon Chinese Wushu Jie Unfortunately, martial arts missed an historic opportunity to enter the Olympic Games.
In order to enter the Olympic Games, Wushu has been in recent years carried out a bold reform.
“It has become too fast.” European Summer Health and laments, “particularly difficult movement to enhance the speed, so that we all feel some of these athletes can not keep up the pace of reform.”
“For example, rotation of this movement, previously required a 360-degree turn athletes, at most 540 degrees, and now, at least to turn 720 degrees, but also in the process of transfer increases the difficulty.”
Because the action difficult to increase substantially the next generation of martial arts athletes must have a strong ability to learn to adapt. European Summer Health and recalled that he may be precisely because of outstanding jumping ability and the ability to accept new things have been stronger focus on training coaches selected object, otherwise, is neither born with their own martial arts family, are not professionally trained from childhood background, is very difficult to grow into a good martial arts athletes.
However, when the level of European Summer Wushu students step by step toward a peak, he also found that in many ways, not his childhood fantasy martial arts looks like.
“When I grow up, I feel more and more like his own practice of the ’style and no substance’.” European Summer Health and laughing at himself said, “so many years practicing martial arts, martial arts athletes, those of us fighting abilities will certainly not as taekwondo, judo, etc. of athletes, athletes and ordinary people than other projects might be better, but in the end with the traditional sense of martial arts are very different. ”
In addition, to make European Summer Health regrets that martial arts competition is difficult to escape the “hidden rules” effect. The current National Games, European Summer was born in men’s nanquan all-around competitions in 0.01-point loss to a player and the runner-up in Guangdong. “His 20-year martial arts career, eventually regret missing to prevent heart really feel a little helpless.” European Summer-sheng.
Martial arts routines and gymnastics, diving and so on are judging the events it is difficult to completely rule out the ways of the world influence the outcome of the game, but this kind of “hidden rules” of the traditional Chinese martial arts and the chivalrous spirit of the pursuit of righteousness is contrary to .
Fortunately, as a martial arts athletes, they never lost sight of the cultivation of their own Wu De. “Strengthen their will and shaping the quality of integrity, this is my arms since the school after a teacher for each of my request.” European Summer-sang, said, “No matter how the reform of traditional martial arts, I believe, Wude as the soul of martial arts movement is absolutely No, never be Gaidiao of. ”
Chinese martial arts is still ongoing efforts to enter the Olympic Games. European Summer gives birth to hope, the future of martial arts athletes can get a more fair and stable living environment.
