The leisurely life of rebirth

Chapter 204: Learning Archery for the First Time
Zhou You sighed, but had to admit that talent is talent.

I stopped watching the horse riding, it was too severe a shock.

Turn around and watch wrestling.

In prairie wrestling, there are no weight class restrictions, and everyone has a broad body and a round waist.

After Darcy brought them there, he went to change his clothes. Zhou You saw Darcy changing his clothes, revealing his big belly.

As he walked, he was trembling and bumpy, and he felt a little happy.

While Darcy is away, Agula provides Zhou You with basic knowledge.

"Our place is called Boke, which means wrestling in Chinese. The competition adopts a single-elimination style. The winner is determined by one fall. The one who touches the ground first with any part above the knee loses."

"Brother You, look at the collars around their necks. We call them "Zhangga". "Zhangga" marks the ranking achieved. The more wins, the more colored bars."

Zhou You followed Agu La's gesture and looked over. He saw a strong man with an upward angle of about 190 degrees. He felt very oppressive and had colored stripes all over his neck.

"What's so special about the equipment they wear?"

"The upper body is a tight-fitting half-sleeved vest made of cowhide or canvas, nailed with silver or steel nails."

"The waist is tied with an apron made of red, blue and yellow silk (called "Xilibuge" in Mongolian)."

"Wear 5-meter or 10-meter white cloth specially made fat wrestling pants for the lower body, and put on a quilt with colorful patterns on the outside. This will prevent sweating from staining the clothes and prevent injury accidents. Wear Mongolian boots or riding boots."

Youyoukan has already started playing.

But I don’t understand it. A layman sees the fun, and an expert sees the door.

"Agula, please explain it to me. I don't understand the rules." Zhou You asked Agula to be a free commentator.

Agura. . . . .

"Brother You, the entrance dance is an entrance dance, which also serves to move the body. There are many wrestling techniques. You can use thirteen basic techniques such as catching, pulling, tugging, pushing, and pressing to evolve more than 100 moves." "

"You can grab each other's shoulders, you can also hug each other's waists, you can also get into each other's armpits to attack, you can grab wrestling clothes, belts, trouser belts, etc."

"The biggest feature of prairie wrestling is that you are not allowed to hold your legs. The rules also include that you are not allowed to hit the face; you are not allowed to suddenly pull people down from the back, or touch your eyes and ears; you are not allowed to pull the hair, kick the stomach or any part above the knees."

Zhou You was stunned after hearing this. Are you so law-abiding?No one is harmed.

"How is your actual combat ability? What's your level?" Zhou You asked further.

Agula lowered his head and scratched the back of his head: "My level is too bad. Otherwise, when I hugged Brother You in the last competition, you basically wouldn't be able to resist. He has strong practical ability and is more suitable for modern people." study."

"Brother Liang, what would happen if you were one of these wrestlers on the field?"

Li Houliang grinned: "I haven't fought before, so I don't know. However, if you are approached, it will be better than wrestling. My wrestling is average."

Zhou You understands that everyone has his or her own strengths.

"There are many types of wrestling, and there are many techniques, and they all have something to learn from. However, the bottom plate of wrestling is the most stable, and this is what people practice." Li Houliang watched Zhou You with interest.

"When it comes to one-on-one, wrestling has the advantage, but when it comes to multiple people, sparring has the advantage."

When several people were watching excitedly.

Agula suddenly pointed at a person and said: "That person is my master. When he finishes the game, we will go find him."

Zhou You can't understand it, but at least he has learned Sanda. There are also wrestling methods in Sanda, but there is still a big gap between it and professional wrestling.

When the difference in strength is a bit large, a hug and throw can resolve the battle.

When the strength is equal, it is the time when the skills are most tested. When the two sides confront each other, Zhou You can't understand.

All you can see is that the two sides are dialing back and forth, but they are unable to grasp each other's weaknesses.

It seems a bit boring, but in fact this is the time when your ability is most tested.

Darcy was also very good. He successfully won one round and directly hugged the opponent, using his waist and abdomen to throw him to the ground.

Unfortunately, he was knocked to the ground by his opponent in the second round. "Brother You, my master is here, just call him Batu." Agula ran over first.

Zhou You and others also followed.

Batu had just fallen and was sweating profusely.A fierce momentum rushed towards him.

"Hello, I heard from Agula that your Sanda skills are very high." Batu said with a smile.

Zhou You said modestly: "I haven't been practicing for a long time, and it's so fun to watch your wrestling. I also want to go up and play, but unfortunately I haven't practiced and I don't dare to go up."

"It still requires practice. It looks simple, but there are a lot of skills in it." Batu explained.

Batu briefly chatted for a few words, made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening, and then went to the game again.

Today is going to last all day.

Wander around and wander to the archery area.

Now it’s stand-up archery, with the traditional horn bow, and the arrows are made of rubber.The archery target has been replaced with a flip-up type, which will flip over after a hit.

In addition to professionals, there are also some people practicing archery on the side.

Darcy had finished the competition and came back to find Zhou You. When he saw that Zhou You was interested in archery, he took him to try it out.

First put on shoulder pads, elbow pads, wrist pads, and finger pads for Zhou You.

"Look at me, put the arrow a little below the middle of the bow string. There is a bump in the middle. The black tail feathers are facing outward. With your feet slightly apart, hook the bow string with your thumb, clasp your thumb with your index finger, and pull back." Xi explained in more detail.

Zhou You had always been curious before, how could he not scratch his fingers or injure the hand holding the bow when shooting an arrow at such a fast speed. After experiencing it himself, he realized that as long as the posture is correct, it is indeed easy to get started.

But it will hurt your thumb.

After pulling it several times, my thumb felt a little uncomfortable.

No wonder many people used to watch TV with jade thumb rings.

It is not only a status symbol, but also a tool to protect your thumb when shooting.

interesting.

Especially when aiming, novices need to move the standard point down a lot. Anyway, it takes long-term practice to shoot accurately.

It is difficult for novices to hit the target. Unlike crossbows, the aiming method of crossbows is similar to that of firearms, making it easier to get started.

Bows and arrows are a bit difficult and require long-term contact.

This may be one of the reasons why crossbows are banned but not bows.

"Brother You, does the sports school teach archery?" Zhou You asked Li Houliang.

"Yes" Li Houliang said concisely and comprehensively.

"Okay, I'll look for one when I get back. We'll add a new project to our gym, and I'll learn archery too." Zhou You said with great interest.

I will learn to ride a horse later and shoot an arrow while riding a horse.

It's beautiful to think about.

The men traveled in all directions, riding horses and shooting arrows to kill powerful men.

Haha, the blood is already boiling.

"Brother Liang, do we have any wrestling?" Zhou You continued to ask.

This time, Li Houliang hesitated for a moment before saying: "There are many kinds of wrestling. Where did we learn it? It's different from what we do here."

After Zhou You listened, he didn't say anything.

The details will have to wait until we talk in the evening.
