Chapter 828 Ip Man VS Maeda Mitsuyo
Jujitsu is a grappling martial art. Its techniques and strategies are based on ground fighting. It is good at dragging the opponent to the ground and then gaining a controlled posture on the ground. Once the controlled posture is formed, the opponent can be subdued by using joint techniques, choke techniques or striking techniques.
In short, it is the grounding technique in MMA.
Of course, there are also standing techniques in judo, and they are also self-contained routines, but the core technique of judo is grounding.
As a judo master, Maeda Mitsuyo's attainments in judo are almost comparable to his teacher Kano Jigoro. This was seen by Su Yi when he fought several times before.
The level of technology has never been related to character. In fact, to some extent, Maeda Mitsuyo's fighting level is still higher than Kano Jigoro.
After all, Kano Jigoro is old, and a high level does not mean that he is good in actual combat.
Many masters have high levels and thoughts, but it is not so easy to convert theory into actual combat.
Therefore, it is correct to say that Maeda Mitsuyo is the top Judo master in the current Zhepeng.
Similar to the standing techniques of Judo, Wing Chun focuses on the center line, faces the opponent, and is good at fighting in the close range.
Neither of them is the kind of hard and rigid kung fu that is used in the northern long fist. They both pursue flexibility, speed, precision, and delicacy.
Therefore, when the two men fight, they fight in close combat.
After cautiously watching, the two men almost attack in the same order.
The two men fight barehanded, and the speed is extremely fast, and the moves are dazzling.
This fight is very similar to the style of modern fighting. There are no complicated or fancy techniques. There are only offense and defense. Both sides use straight moves. There are no fake moves. There is only attack! Continuous attack, using attack instead of defense.
Defense is also attack, and attack is also defense.
At this time, all the advanced skills, killer moves and special moves had to be put aside first, because there was no time to think about these. Both sides only had the opponent in front of them in their minds, and only the endless attacks that even their thoughts could not keep up with.
Bang, bang, bang!
The sound of flesh and bones hitting each other was endless, but where was there a really airtight defense?
Gradually, the moves of both sides began to break through each other's defense and landed on each other.
Maeda Mitsuyo was hit on the left shoulder, right ribs, and left face.
Ye Wen was also hit frequently in the chest, right face, and abdomen.
But no one retreated, no one avoided, and no one screamed and wailed.
The two kept the same offensive rhythm as before without saying a word, and continued to attack each other, but faster and more powerful!
Punch to the flesh!
At this moment, the two were beaten at the same time, but they let the opponent's attacks fall on their bodies and faces, and never retreated, but strengthened their attacks with faster frequency and greater strength.
The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road!
Finally, Maeda Mitsuyo was beaten to death. He was older than Ip Man, and his endurance and physical fitness were inferior. Maintaining such a high-frequency attack speed and withstanding the opponent's rain of attacks was too intense for a man in his fifties. It was okay for a short time, but it was a bit difficult for a long time.
The current situation between him and Ip Man was somewhat similar to the previous battle between Su Yi and Yoshihiro Funakoshi.
In that battle, Su Yi used extremely fast tactics, forcing Yoshihiro Funakoshi to enter Su Yi's rhythm from the beginning.
But it was easy to enter, but difficult to stop.
Yoshihiro Funakoshi finally failed to keep up with Su Yi's rhythm, resulting in a complete collapse.
Compared with Yoshihiro Funakoshi, Maeda Mitsuyo was very experienced and experienced. He knew that if he was even a little slower at this time, he would lead to a disastrous defeat. Moreover, Ip Man's attack was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and he could not get rid of it no matter how hard he tried. It was impossible to resolve the opponent's attack and interrupt the opponent's rhythm by retreating and dodging.
So he suddenly exploded.
He crossed his arms to protect the middle road, and put his palms together like knives, stabbing at Ip Man's shoulders.
He obviously had a slight accumulation of power before this attack. Ip Man sensed this and subconsciously made a blocking move.
But when Maeda Mitsuyo's attack landed on Ip Man, it changed from "stabbing" to "grabbing".
His crossed arms tightly grasped Ip Man's shoulder blades.
The piercing pain made Ip Man counterattack instantly, and a boy worshipped Buddha to separate Maeda Mitsuyo's arms, but Maeda Mitsuyo turned quickly at this moment, lowered his body and leaned back slightly, letting his left shoulder rest on Ip Man's right chest, then raised his hands high to grab the inside of Ip Man's arms, suddenly bent down, and pushed back to complete the over-the-shoulder throw.
Ip Man was shocked. In traditional Chinese martial arts, a stable lower body is very important.
The lower body refers to the legs and feet. Once the legs and feet leave the ground, it means putting oneself in danger.
Therefore, even in martial arts known for leg skills, there are few moves that allow both legs and feet to leave the ground at the same time.
Therefore, Ip Man immediately made a move to resist the fall. He straightened his body and leaned back, while clenching his fists and smashing them down, hitting Maeda Mitsuyo's back hard.
But before his fist landed, Maeda Mitsuyo shot out like an arrow from a string.
Ip Man's attack fell in vain. He watched Maeda Mitsuyo and himself had already distanced themselves, and only then did he suddenly realize that he had been deceived by Maeda Mitsuyo.
The opponent did not want to throw him down at all, but wanted to interrupt his rhythm and distance himself from him.
It just so happens that Maeda Mitsuyo is very smart. The method he uses is actually both offensive and defensive. If Ip Man had not made a move to resist the fall, Maeda Mitsuyo's intention to get rid of him would have turned into a real fall.
Once Ip Man was thrown into the air, Maeda Mitsuyo would still turn the passive into the active.
Smart!
Ip Man secretly praised in his heart, stepped forward quickly, and launched a fierce attack on Maeda Mitsuyo again, trying to drag Maeda Mitsuyo into his own rhythm again.
But how could Maeda Mitsuyo fall into the same pit twice?
He attacked and defended, quickly approached Ip Man, began to perform judo grappling and wrestling, and forced Ip Man to fall to the ground, trying to pull Ip Man to the ground and subdue his opponent with the most core judo choke and anti-joint technique.
Ip Man reacted very quickly, and retreated quickly as soon as Maeda Mitsuyo wanted to entangle with him, and distanced himself from Maeda Mitsuyo.
The two sides were two meters apart and circled each other again.
The audience applauded and cheered loudly. The thrilling fight just now made the audience feel very excited.
This kind of scene was in line with their fantasy of a fight between masters.
Even many laymen could see that Ip Man had a slight advantage in the previous round.
But only Su Yi and a few masters could see the inner meaning of this, and they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
In the previous round, Ip Man did gain an advantage with faster speed, more accurate moves and stronger power, and once beat Maeda Mitsuyo to the point of collapse.
But Maeda Mitsuyo was too experienced. Even in such adversity, he still methodically resolved the most dangerous crisis and dragged the game into a rhythm that suited him.
Ip Man noticed this and wanted to resume his previous offensive rhythm again, but this time Maeda Mitsuyo didn't give him a chance, and forced Ip Man to slow down and entangle with him in a tangle.
If Ip Man had not given up an inch at this time and continued to fight fiercely with Maeda Mitsuyo, even if Ip Man could not regain the advantage, he could at least continue to maintain the initiative.
Unfortunately, Ip Man retreated when Maeda Mitsuyo was about to hug him and entangle him.
This retreat directly gave back all the previous advantages.
Now he and Maeda Mitsuyo are back on the same starting line again.
In the ring competition, it is very stupid to give up the advantage you have already occupied.
Although there are always examples of reversing the situation and turning defeat into victory in the ring, 90% or even more of the battles are won by the person who has the advantage.
After all, reversal is only a minority.
As a very stable and experienced martial artist, Ip Man could not fail to understand these principles, but why did he retreat?
First, do not give the opponent the opportunity to drag himself into a ground battle, but this cannot be achieved by passively retreating and keeping a distance.
The second reason is due to Ip Man's own personality.
Ip Man is a "decent" person.
Although he is a warrior, he comes from a wealthy family. He has been pampered since childhood and has received a good education. He claims to be both civil and military, and is respected wherever he goes.
A respectable person like him is not used to rolling on the ground with his opponent like two fleshworms, wrestling with hideous faces, tears streaming down his face, veins bulging, and twisting and turning.
It is mainly because of his "respectable" idea that he gave up his advantage and returned to the same starting line with Maeda Mitsuyo.
On the ring, after a brief confrontation, the two sides fought again.
From the surface, it was Ip Man who was attacking and Maeda Mitsuyo was defending, and it was still Ip Man who quickly took the initiative.
But in the eyes of a discerning person like Su Yi, this situation was deliberately created by Maeda Mitsuyo.
Maeda Mitsuyo is very thoughtful, and he can naturally see what Su Yi can see.
After noticing Ip Man's weakness, which is not a weakness, Maeda Mitsuyo immediately realized that this might be a good opportunity for him.
So he took the initiative to show weakness and let Ip Man attack, but he controlled the rhythm within the range he could adapt to.
Whenever Ip Man wanted to change the rhythm, speed up, or threaten Maeda Mitsuyo, Maeda Mitsuyo would make a move to fight with Ip Man and use ground skills.
This "deterrence" was always effective, and Ip Man really retreated when he encountered this situation.
"Ip Man is going to lose!" Su Yi couldn't help shaking his head, and made a prediction for the result of this game in his heart.
If you don't take what God gives you, you will suffer the consequences.
Ip Man obviously had the advantage, but in order to avoid fighting with Maeda Mitsuyo on the ground, he would rather give up his advantage and give up halfway again and again.
Maybe he was confident that he could defeat his opponent, maybe he was confident that Maeda Mitsuyo was not his opponent, maybe he also mistakenly thought that he had been dominating the game and controlling the rhythm.
However, these were all his illusions!
In fact, the rhythm of the game has now unknowingly entered the rhythm of Maeda Mitsuyo in the process of his repeated halfway returns.
Sure enough, when Ip Man launched another attack and "forced" Maeda Mitsuyo with a ground-fighting move, when Ip Man continued to retreat, Maeda Mitsuyo moved this time.
The previous experience of advancing and retreating at will paralyzed Ip Man, making him think that Maeda Mitsuyo was a very cautious person who was unwilling to take risks.
So when he retreated again, Ip Man was not too cautious, and what he was thinking in his mind was that he was about to win.
Because through these repeated attempts, Ip Man also noticed a weakness of Maeda Mitsuyo, and Maeda Mitsuyo himself obviously knew this and had always protected himself very well.
These attempts also made Maeda Mitsuyo relax his vigilance. Ip Man planned to use this weakness in the next wave and win the game in one fell swoop.
The so-called "those who are in the know are confused" refers to this situation.
Ip Man and Maeda Mitsuyo on the ring both felt that they were about to win, and both thought that the other party was paralyzed by themselves, and both were confident that they would never capsize.
What's more terrifying is that what they thought was correct and true!
Maeda Mitsuyo did find Ip Man's weakness.
Ip Man did paralyze Maeda Mitsuyo.
It can be said that whoever strikes first is likely to win the game!
Ip Man plans to seize the fleeting opportunity after the next wave of attack.
But the opportunity that Maeda Mitsuyo has been aiming for has been waited for by him.
The first to attack was Maeda Mitsuyo. Ip Man's luck was worn out by his repeated failures.
Seeing that Ip Man was about to retreat, Maeda Mitsuyo suddenly bent his knees and rushed towards Ip Man.
This rush was unexpected and sudden.
And because Maeda Mitsuyo deliberately lowered his body, Ip Man was unable to block or react immediately. By the time Ip Man reacted, Maeda Mitsuyo had already jumped between Ip Man's legs, his head passed through his crotch, hugged Ip Man's legs, stood up suddenly, and pushed Ip Man up directly.
Ip Man lost his balance and was pushed up on Maeda Mitsuyo's face.
He was shocked, but he was not panicking. He quickly kept his balance, clenched his fists, and suddenly hit Maeda Mitsuyo's Baihui acupoint!
This punch was solid, and Maeda Mitsuyo must have been knocked unconscious.
But at this moment, Ip Man felt a piercing pain in his indecent part.
His face changed drastically, and the severe pain made his whole body twitch. He screamed, but did not attack immediately.
The next moment, he was thrown out by Maeda Mitsuyo!
While he was still in the air, Maeda Mitsuyo had already kicked him hard on the chin!
Ip Man spurted blood and fell backwards.
Maeda Mitsuyo took advantage of the situation and kicked Ip Man on the back, who was falling, and kicked him out directly.
Plop!
Ip Man fell heavily under the ring.
Before he landed, he supported his arms to relieve the force, which prevented him from hitting his head on the ground.
But despite this, he fell and rolled for several weeks before he stabilized.
When he struggled to get up again, he felt a mixture of pain in his mouth, crotch, and back, making it difficult for him to even stand.
"Puff!" Ye Wen spat out half of his tooth, mixed with blood and saliva, glared at Maeda Mitsuyo on the stage, gnashed his teeth and uttered two words in a trembling voice: "Despicable!"
The scene was in an uproar at this moment!
