Chapter 84, Aikido
Wang Taika asked: "You said your father runs a gym, does that mean you should also order it?"
Pu Chuxue nodded: "Yes, third degree."
"Three levels?" Wang Taika asked strangely: "How is this divided? Is it like Taekwondo?"
Pu Chuxue shook her head: "It's not the same. The levels of Aikido are divided into two parts: Dan and pre-dan. The highest Dan is tenth Dan. However, generally nine-dan and tenth-dan are only awarded to those who have made special and significant contributions to Aikido.
.Generally speaking, eighth-dan is considered the highest. I am third-dan."
"Three paragraphs, oh, is this the reason why you dare to come to me even though you are a little afraid of me?" Wang Taika said with a smile: "Okay, but you really can't tell. At least on the surface,
You are really easy to bully."
Pu Chuxue looked at Wang Taika strangely: "Is it easy to bully? Are you thinking about such a thing?"
"Oh, it's an inaccurate adjective, don't worry about it. Don't worry, I haven't learned any Aikido or Taekwondo." Wang Taika said, "And I won't do anything to you."
"Well, that's not what I meant." Pu Chuxue smiled.
"What about your senior brother Tailu? What rank is he in?" Wang Taika asked: "If we get to the scene and your senior brother Tailu finds out that your injury is related to me, won't you want to kill me?"
Pu Chuxue explained with a smile: "It's not that exaggerated. Aikido is not a martial art that emphasizes attack. It is completely different from Taekwondo. Taekwondo emphasizes defeating opponents through fighting. It has a strong winning mentality. In fighting,
Above, there is a special emphasis on attacking to win. Aikido, on the other hand, emphasizes benevolence, non-fighting, and peace, and does not advocate fighting with others to win. Under the guidance of this idea, Aikido embodies defense as a style in fighting.
A special method. Therefore, Aikido is a non-offensive martial art, a peaceful martial art. It is similar to...Qigong? It is mainly for physical exercise."
"It's really professional, I see. This way I can understand. By the way, I'm not Korean, you should know that." Wang Taika nodded: "But I have seen some people who are good at Taekwondo and Aiki.
I really don’t understand Tao. Then what rank is your senior brother Tailu?”
Pu Chuxue frowned. Why did it feel so weird when Li Tielu's name came out of Wang Taika's mouth? Is it because of the foreigners?
"Well...it's already five levels in between, but senior brother has practiced very hard, and he should be at least seven levels now!" Pu Chuxue said: "Actually, many martial arts schools will invite him, but
It’s just that he wanted to break out on his own.”
"Seventh Dan..." Wang Taika nodded and said nothing more.
Wang Taika's car followed the road directed by Pu Chuxue, and finally bypassed the ditches and bumps before arriving at a residential area on the outskirts of Seoul.
This is either that kind of B&B, or a very simple residential house, that is, a rural area in South Korea. Even though Seoul has gathered most of South Korea's population and economy, not all of them are rich people.
"Are you sure you're here?" Wang Taika couldn't believe it. Doesn't this look like an Aikido gym?
"Um..." Pu Chuxue was also confused and said uncertainly: "It should be... probably! Probably."
Wang Taika drove the car and walked inside. The road was not particularly easy to walk. Anyway, after a detour, the residential area was not particularly big, so halfway around, he saw a large brick house, and it was like that.
A very old house. There is a very nondescript new plaque hanging on the door frame, which reads "Tai Lv Aikido" in Chinese.
In South Korea, although the use of Chinese has been abolished, because Korean is phonetic and has its own shortcomings such as large errors, so in many formal occasions and rigorous professions, Chinese is required. For example, in Korean law, in fact
It's all written in Chinese. If it were written in Korean, many things wouldn't convey the meaning, and it would be easy for loopholes to be taken advantage of, and it would be a mess.
"Oh, these are the two words for state and law!" Wang Taika suddenly came to his senses.
Pu Chuxue breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that we have gone to the right place. My senior brother's name was given by himself. He studied law for a period of time before, but failed to pass the exam. But he can speak a little Chinese, so he used it for himself.
He got this name. It is said that his motto is: correct attitude, self-discipline and strong will."
Pu Chuxue got out of the car after saying that, and Wang Taika also got out of the car and followed Pu Chuxue inside.
When he arrived at the door, Wang Taika looked up and looked at the words "Tianlu Aikido". When he turned his head, he saw another board placed in the corner of the wall.
After taking a step back, Wang Taika could vaguely see that it said "Beicun Senior Citizens' Recreation Center."
"Ah?" Wang Taika is a little confused. Does this thing exist in Korea? The most important thing is that the entertainment center is the original plaque, isn't it? This attitude is not occupying the public property of this village! What is it!
Pu Chuxue looked at Wang Taika in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Um..." Wang Taika scratched his head and asked: "What do the elderly in rural Korea do when they are bored?"
Pu Chuxue thought for a while: "Just at home, sometimes I will help make some kimchi, or go out to exercise together, or play cards or Korean mahjong."
Wang Taika nodded and understood in his heart. Daqing is the same as domestic chess and card rooms. Mahjong is also very charming. It has been divided into several schools since its development, and Korean Mahjong is one of them.
"Are you sure your senior brother is not a bully?" Wang Taika pointed to the plaque beside him.
After Pu Chuxue saw the words above, she looked up and looked at the new plaque of "Qilu Aikido" above her head. She suddenly became embarrassed and said hesitantly: "Probably...probably not!"
Wang Taika gave up hope and followed Pu Chuxue inside. When he walked in, he found that it was a regular courtyard, a bit like a courtyard house. There was an open space in the middle, with side rooms of the concierge on both sides.
In the middle is the main hall, which is also very spacious.
Just when Wang Taika and Pu Chuxue were confused, they heard an old man's confident voice coming from the side: "Win!"
"Is it Chinese?" Wang Taika turned around and saw that there were four old Korean men playing mahjong in the side room next to them. The "hit" just now was shouted by one of them.
"Ah?" Pu Chuxue was confused. What is this situation?
Wang Taika advised: "Otherwise, let's go. This doesn't look like an Aikido gym at all. This is basically an activity center for the elderly!"
Pu Chuxue was unwilling to give in and said, "How about I ask."
"Forget it, I'll go." Wang Taika had no choice but to go up and ask, "Senior gentlemen, do you know where Li Tielu is?"
"Ninety thousand!" An old man played a card and looked up at Wang Taika: "What donkey?"
"Too donkey!"
