8. Essentials

(thoughtful)

Let me introduce some:

8.1 – Ty Ngo Tuyen.

middle road), the line divides the body in two, going from the An Duong point (between the eyebrows) to Dan Dien (lower abdomen).

- Elbow in midline (keep the middle line), about a fist's width from the chest (Bruce Lee said: the elbow held at the diagonal of the shirt is VXQ's trademark).

- Feet rotate 60˚, body rotate 90˚, facing side forward (record close), the force is mainly in the hind legs (80%). The school wins short) .

- If you ensure your feet are firmly planted and your entire body (mental, muscular), the force of the blow will be very strong - coming from the ground - through the lower limbs - body - shoulders - hands - the opponent, hexagon (Spirit-gas; Willpower; Internal-External; Shoulders-Hips; Arms-Legs; Elbows-Knees.)

- Legs must be steady: VXQ compares the lower part of the body to a tree stump. If it is steady, the upper part of the body can easily rotate, tilt, recline... depending on the situation to achieve the highest efficiency.

8.2 – Lai Luu Khu Tong, Escape and Attack Directly.

8.3 – Simultaneous Counterattack

Lien Tieu Dai Da).

8.4 - Pattern attack

INSTEAD OF CONCLUSION

period renew, new martial arts have the conditions to flourish and VXQ has gradually come out from behind the scenes to compete with other kung fu disciplines.

The current era is the era of guns, there is no martial art that has moves as fast, strong, and effective as pistols and extremely fast submachine guns.

Exercise your body is the first and more important purpose.

Fighting – the second goal There are times when it becomes very necessary, sometimes extremely important to save one's life (or someone else's), or to complete a mission.

The best method to win a battle should avoid fighting”. Ring", but know how to respect and protect justice, and not be arrogant and complacent about yourself being the best ( Wu Wu is second, literature is number one).

: practicing martial arts is to train the spirit, physical strength, martial virtue and martial arts.

That word heart is equal to the three words talent.
