see the opportunity

When Tao Ye went to the boxing gym the next day, he found that it was full of people and it was very lively.

It turned out that Shi Sanhe had returned, and he had brought some small gifts for everyone, which he was distributing.The children were given some special candies, and the adults were given a beautiful Kung Fu fan.

Xu Yixuan slapped the fan away, the loud sound startled Tao Ye.She herself was a little absent-minded, and Xu Yixuan felt sorry for reading it: "Oh, did I scare you?"

"It's okay." Tao Ye shook his head, and slowly opened the fan.The fan is red, and the front and back are printed with blooming peonies.She closed the fan and tried to shake it, but she still felt that it was not as loud as Xu Yixuan's.

When the presents were divided almost equally, Shi Qi came in.She saw her dad when she went back last night, and naturally there was a gift.It turned out that Shi Sanhe had chosen a sword for her and came back with her name engraved on it, but it was not easy to take it into the car, so he sent a courier, and it hasn't arrived yet.

Shi Qi looked at the people holding the fan, thought for a while, and said, "We can arrange a group practice of fans...Dad, didn't you buy it for me?"

Shi Sanhe patted his forehead: "Yes, I forgot."

Tao Ye looked down at the fan in his hand, his lips twitched, and wanted to say that I don't know how to do it anyway, so you can take the fan.But she still couldn't speak after all, and she didn't even look in Shi Qi's direction.

Time, she thought, was all she needed.

After everyone put away the presents, the class began. Shi Sanhe first gathered everyone, told some incidents of his going out to teach boxing, and then took out a document: "During the summer vacation this year, everyone has I have the opportunity to participate in a competition, which is a professional Taijiquan competition, with both routines and push hands." He gave the file to Xu Yixuan, "You have been practicing for so long, just to test yourself, and go out to open your eyes and see others. There is a lot to gain.”

Xu Yixuan was very happy. If they don't practice well, the coach can't take them out to embarrass them. This can be regarded as an affirmation to them: "Coach, you have the final say, how do you sign up?"

"That's not urgent. In addition to the individual competition, there is also a group competition. Our adults and children can form a team, so the training must be taken seriously from now on." Shi Sanhe thought, reached out and ordered a few children "A few of you play a group game, and you can also participate in two individual competitions, one punch and one weapon; my lord," Shi Sanhe glanced at, "Your lord can wait a little longer." Qi said, "I will leave the rehearsal for the children to you. But you also have to participate in the competition yourself, especially pushing hands. You can try it this year."

Shi Qi nodded.She has participated in too many competitions, but her father has never let her try Pushing Hands.Tai Chi competitions usually have two titles.One is under the banner of international and domestic martial arts competitions. Taijiquan is one of the major categories. There are usually a large number of people, but the threshold will be lower; the other is professional Taijiquan competitions. Its classification is more detailed. Also higher.This competition in the summer vacation is a relatively famous professional competition. It is usually held every two years. The venue of the competition is in the birthplace of Tai Chi. It is not so much a competition, but more like a grand event for Tai Chi enthusiasts. There will also be lectures by famous experts can listen.

"Then it's better to warm up first, stretch your legs, and then practice boxing." After finishing speaking, Shi Sanhe got up and walked towards Tao Ye.

Tao Ye was following Xu Yixuan and the others to do some stretching movements, when he saw Shi Sanhe walking over, he hurriedly stood up.

Shi Sanhe looked at her and took her aside: "I see that your complexion is not very good, is there any problem in practicing boxing?"

"No." Tao Ye kept her voice low all the time, she didn't dare to raise her voice, for fear that others would hear the hoarseness in her voice.Crying too much is like this, and the person who hurts in the end is still yourself.

"So what have you practiced this month?"

Tao Ye managed to pull himself together: "Shi Qi... taught me stance and some basic skills of Yang style."

"Then show me what you do." Shi Sanhe said.

So Tao Ye showed Shi Sanhe what he had learned in the same way.

"Well, not bad." Shi Sanhe pointed her a few times, and then said with a smile, "You are very talented, study hard."

Such words are very familiar, yes, she has said it too.

"From today onwards, I will teach you the routines. There are two types of Yang-style boxing, traditional routines and competition routines. They are also compared separately during competitions. The footwork you learn is the footwork of competition routines. I will start with the 24-style. Let's start teaching, this is the simplified routine of Yang Style Taijiquan..."

From this day on, Tao Ye began to practice 24-style Taijiquan with Shi Sanhe.She was very fortunate that Shi Sanhe came back at this time, and she was almost grateful.After Shi Sanhe took over her, Shi Qi no longer needed to appear by her side, and Shi Qi would not go to Mingchun Park sooner or later.

A few days later, Shi Sanhe found that Tao Ye went to the park very early every morning. After asking, he found out that she had moved and now lived very close to the park. Shi Sanhe was very surprised. He thought Her move naturally has Tai Chi factors in it.He was naturally very happy to meet such a studious person, and he spared no effort in teaching.

But half a month later, Shi Qi reappeared in the morning.This time, there was another man who appeared with her. Tao Ye had never seen this man, but occasionally heard his name from other people.His name is Ao Ye, and it is said that he is Shi Sanhe's great apprentice and the first disciple to offer tea and kowtow to Shi Sanhe.He is now teaching Taijiquan in a martial arts school outside the city, and he has also become a family there, and this time he came back for some unknown reason.

His appearance cheered up all the boxing practitioners in the arena, except Tao Ye, everyone seemed to know him.

After chatting for a while, everyone realized that Ao Ye was called back by his master, and came back to practice pushing hands with Shi Qi for a few days.

"You can come back on May [-]st." Shi Qi said aside, disapproving of her father's nervous behavior.

"I'll be back on May [-]st too, and I'll check it out for you then." Ao Ye was a tall man with firm eyes, and the way he raised his hands and feet looked like he was practicing martial arts.When he started practicing Taijiquan with Shi Sanhe, Shi Qi was already learning it, but Shi Shi Qi followed him in the calculation of apprenticeship, so in fact he is the real senior brother.But everyone is about the same age, and they all call them by their first names.

"I'll be the host in the evening, and I invite everyone to dinner, you must come." Ao Ye said to everyone very boldly.

There was food again, everyone was naturally happy, and they all agreed, but Tao Ye hesitated and didn't speak.She doesn't know Ao Ye, so she thinks it's better not to join in the fun.

But Ao Ye saw her again at this time.Ao Ye was at home during the Chinese New Year, but this strange woman started to learn boxing after the new year. He touched Shi Qi with his elbow, and Shi Qi immediately leaned over to support his elbow with his hand and was about to stroke it out, vigilantly. Ask: "What's the matter, this is the beginning?"

Ao Ye melted her strength with a smile: "I just want to ask if that woman is a student just accepted by the master?"

Following his gaze, Shi Qi looked at Tao Ye, and after a while, he said "Hmm".

She didn't blame her for her hesitation, she just thought that Shanshan was probably too powerful.Ever since the ktv that day, Tao Ye has been avoiding her indiscriminately. For a while, Shi Qi felt that she was actually just an ordinary student. .Looking at her well-behaved eyes, all the emotions that she had felt unavoidably in the past have also been completely restrained.From this perspective, Shi Qi felt that Tao Ye had probably let her go.

Isn't that great? Her memory is amazing. She learns boxing very quickly and very well. Her father has said Tao Ye is a piece of material more than once in front of her. She has said too much that even her mother has paid attention to it. , Say when to come and see.

If it is said that what is lost is the mulberry elm that is harvested, this should be a good mulberry elm.

"The newcomer doesn't seem to talk much," Ao Ye touched his chin, "Go and tell her to go together at night."

Shi Qi hesitated for a moment: "...not very good."

"What's wrong?" Ao Ye looked at her strangely, "You don't like her?"

Shi Qi choked suddenly.She and Ao Ye are too familiar, she originally liked to be lively, and saying that would naturally arouse his doubts, so how should she answer, the word "like" sounds very ambiguous to her now.

"...Understood, I will tell her." As he spoke, he pushed Ao Ye to the side, "I tried it with someone a while ago, see if I did it right... ..."

Among Tao Ye's many advantages in learning Taijiquan, what Shi Sanhe praised the most was not her memory or imitation ability, but her ability to concentrate.She was almost the first one to come every morning, and she started to stand up after she came.April is humid, and it is no longer suitable to stand by the water, so she found a bush and stood facing the sun.After standing on the pile, loosen the muscles and bones on the spot, and then do basic skills such as leg pressing and kicking.She started boxing only after she finished her daily homework.She has been studying for nearly a month, and she remembers the movements very quickly, but she has more honing in.The postures of Taijiquan are easy to imitate, but there are some things in it that are difficult. For example, terms such as "empty collar and top strength" and "holding the chest and pulling the back" that Shi Qi once said, except for the pointers of others, there is more to learn. The most important thing is to comprehend on your own.There is often a starting position, and every time you do it, you may have a different feeling.

Shi Sanhe didn't teach her new movements every day, but after teaching a movement, let her figure it out for a few days, and then continue after the posture is basically finalized, so he didn't stare at her every day to practice.She doesn't like to make trouble, and usually finds an open space silently, not far from the Tai Chi Diagram, but a relatively quiet place, and then starts to practice one move at a time.

Tao Ye thought, she likes Tai Chi, and she really likes Tai Chi more than the old Latin dance.Relax your body and mind, and breathe slowly. Often after you have finished practicing what you have learned, Tao Ye will have the feeling that he has finished playing somehow, and when he stands there and recollects it slowly, there seems to be a stretch in his chest. Constant breath flow.She was at a loss for words, and awkwardly talked about her feelings with Shi Sanhe. Shi Sanhe was naturally pleasantly surprised, but she didn't show it too much.

Yes, what Tao Ye likes most about Taijiquan is when she is practicing, she can really think about nothing, even Shi Qi doesn't think about it.

This is like a kind of salvation, the way Tao Ye found for himself.
