I will practice more in the United States

Chapter 26 Applying for a job as a martial arts coach
The martial arts gym is located in the sports center here. Although the location is not in the most prosperous area, the rent here will definitely not be low.

The facade of the martial arts school is quite impressive. Under the huge Chinese plaque, there is only a small line with the English translation.

"Hunyuan Martial Arts School, this name is okay."

Li Ang admired in his heart. When he entered the room, he found that the area inside the martial arts hall was quite large. From a rough estimate, he felt that it would definitely be no less than a thousand square meters.

At this time, many people in the venue were already training on stances, feeding moves, etc.

The crowd inside is mainly composed of teenagers, accounting for about 70%, and the rest are adults.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

As soon as Li Ang came in, a Chinese girl wearing a sky blue cheongsam greeted him.

But the welcome message is in English.

This is actually normal. In the United States, a considerable number of banana people are most afraid of letting others know that they have even the slightest connection with China.

Their words and deeds will try to make themselves look like pure Americans, and it is even impossible to speak Chinese to him.

The receptionist had obviously suffered similar losses. From then on, no matter who she met, she would always speak in English.

"Thank you. Where is the person in charge of your martial arts school?"

Hearing that Li Ang was speaking Chinese, the smile of the lady at the front desk became more genuine. She led him in and replied:

"Our person in charge hasn't come yet, but the head coach of our martial arts gym is over there. I can take you to him."

"Okay, thanks."

The head coach also looks relatively young, in his early thirties at most. He has a straight face and is scrolling Tik Tok on his chair.

After Li Ang explained his intention, Wu Song remembered that the curator seemed to have mentioned such a thing last night, saying that someone was going to be a coach, about children, arrangements, etc.

The kid in front of me looks a little too young. He really looks like a child. I don't know if he is an adult or not.

Fortunately, the law here allows the employment of minors over the age of 16, but there are some restrictions on working hours and content.

Even in Wisconsin, a bill has been passed to adjust the latest time that minors aged 14-16 are allowed to work from 21:23 to :.

"Which group of coaches are you here to apply for?"

Although Hua Tianming didn't tell him that the coaches were divided into different groups before coming, Li Ang could completely understand when he looked at the people of different ages on the court.

“Are there any differences between coaches in different groups?”

Wu Song explained:
"We are divided into youth group coaches, youth group coaches and adult group coaches, which means that the groups we teach are different. Correspondingly, our recruitment standards and treatment are also different."

"Okay, then I'll choose the adult group."

Just kidding, Li Ang came here just to be a sparring partner. How could he take action easily if he was teaching a bunch of kids.

Wu Song looked at him in surprise and said:

"I would like to ask politely, what boxing technique are you good at? How many years have you been practicing?"

"Tongbei Quan, how long have you been practicing it, about two and a half years?"

Li Ang replied seriously.

He also didn't expect that when others asked him, the time was measured in years. If he said that he had practiced for more than ten days, wouldn't others think that he had a brain problem?

Anyway, it's the interview stage now. If you don't have any work experience, you have to make up some experience. He's always working as a worker.

When Wu Song heard that he had only been practicing for more than two years, his face fell a little. Even among the coaches who taught the youth group, none of them had practiced for less than three years.

No wonder the curator's tone was not very good, he turned out to be a very confident person. "Tongbei Fist, Wu Song."

As a courtesy, he responded and continued:
"Let's do this. Let's practice together. It can be used to understand your strength, and it can also be used as a recruitment assessment."

Originally, he was not responsible for the assessment of recruiting coaches.

And it only tests the coach's familiarity with martial arts routines and some basic skills, and does not require actual combat.

However, in Wu Song's impression, the curator seemed to have said yesterday that he was going to arrange something for him, so he would have to do it himself.

Wu Song was thinking in his mind as he took Li Ang to the martial arts stage.

Seeing someone performing martial arts, the students training in the field also lit up.

Many people come to learn martial arts. What they want is the thrill of fist and foot contact, and they want to be in the ring every day.

However, after they arrived, they discovered that practicing martial arts was also a boring process. In addition to basic skills every day, they only practiced some routines at most.

At this time, I finally saw that the head coach was about to take action personally, so everyone naturally gathered around.

"Except for the curator, no one here should be a match for the head coach, right?"

"That's for sure. Coach Wu is not just a showman. I've seen him beat a taller Taekwondo coach to the ground before."

"Is this Chinese guy also here to play in the gym? Do you think it's a grudge between different sects?"

"Jace, you really need to stop reading some martial arts novels. I just heard it. This young man may also be our future coach."

"That's even more exciting. Is the new coach going to challenge the head coach? It's like the alternation of the old and new Lions?"

"Hush! It's about to start, everyone be quiet."

Wu Song picked up a set of protective gear and asked:

"Do you need protective gear?"

Li Ang shook his head, put the protective gear aside, and replied with a smile:

"It's not Sanda. What kind of protective gear is needed for martial arts?"

The moment he stood on the martial arts stage, Li Ang's adrenaline began to secrete rapidly.

His tone was trembling as he spoke.

He is very excited now, after all, this is his first real combat.

Not to mention that there are so many spectators below the stage. As we all know, the status of the players is completely different when there are people watching the game and when there are no people watching.

On the other side, Wu Song listened to his slightly frivolous speech and saw his slightly trembling body.

The contempt in my heart actually became less.

"Excited but not nervous. His posture is so standard when he comes up. This person is not simple."

Wu Song had always loved fighting when he was a child. He knew very well that the more nervous a novice like this was, the more desperate he would be in fighting.

Under the influence of adrenaline, most pain will be ignored, and the action will not be minor or serious.

Li Ang also imitated Wu Song's movements. After cupping his hands, he rushed forward with a lunge.

Although the masters in movies and TV series all like to be passive, stand there, and then defend and counterattack.

But in actual battles, it is also very important to gain the upper hand.
