Sun Hu was about to take the stage! He was a hot favorite; would he be able to get through this challenge? The crowd fell silent, all eyes fixed on him. How skilled was Sun Hu in hand-to-hand combat? At that moment, I felt an urge to broadcast my thoughts loudly, but the pig-headed guy beside me was also nervously watching the situation below, his mouth tightly shut.
Sun Hu walked up to Team Leader Ding and removed his camouflage uniform jacket, revealing his muscular physique clad in athletic wear. He moved his limbs and neck a bit, the muscles in his arms rippling as if showcasing their owner's strength. Sun Hu looked directly at Team Leader Ding and declared, "I will defeat you!"
Team Leader Ding smiled, maintaining a relaxed stance as he prepared for the fight.
Suddenly, Sun Hu lunged forward, reaching out with his left hand to grab Team Leader Ding by the collar. Team Leader Ding did not evade; as Sun Hu's left hand approached his chest, he swiftly grabbed Sun Hu's left hand with both of his own and twisted it to the side, attempting to lock Sun Hu's left arm.
Unexpectedly, Sun Hu held on tight, grabbing Team Leader Ding's collar and using Ding's force to roll himself to the right. Was he intentionally going down? What was he trying to do?
Before we could figure it out, Sun Hu had already seized Team Leader Ding's left leg during his roll. With both hands working together, he lifted Team Leader Ding off the ground with a grunt. They landed in a cross position on the mat—was this a loss for Sun Hu?
Before the captain could blow the whistle, Sun Hu quickly began to wriggle. His large body moved with surprising agility on the ground, like a python. In just a few twists, he managed to turn over and pin Team Leader Ding beneath him.
"Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu!" Old Li exclaimed suddenly. When we looked at him with puzzled expressions, he chuckled awkwardly and explained, "Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu originated as a grappling martial art. Its techniques and strategies are based on an in-depth study of ground fighting and stem from Japanese Jujutsu. Practitioners excel at taking opponents to the ground using joint locks, chokes, or striking techniques to subdue them."
The pig-headed guy chimed in proudly, "My junior brother is quite impressive, isn't he?! Back in school, very few could beat him!" I couldn't help but marvel; this training session had truly opened my eyes. Sun Hu, with such height, could actually perform Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—unbelievable!
Just as the pig-headed guy finished speaking, the situation on the mat changed dramatically!
After being pinned down by Sun Hu, Team Leader Ding strangely arched his body upward. Without any apparent effort, he easily lifted Sun Hu off him. As he rolled over from beneath Sun Hu, he tightly wrapped his arms around Sun Hu's head and executed a swift move that flipped Sun Hu completely over! They ended up lying head-to-head on the ground, with Team Leader Ding still holding onto Sun Hu's neck! Just like that, Sun Hu nearly hit the mat hard but managed to hold on because time was just about up!
Xiao Yu's eyes widened in amazement as she covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Team Leader Ding is really impressive! Is there any cadet here who can defeat him?"
The pig-headed man snorted, noncommittal. I glanced at Xiao Yu and couldn't help but say, "Any martial arts skill in the world is impressive because of the constant training of the practitioner. There are no secret techniques that can make you a master just by learning them casually. Team Leader Ding must have undergone systematic training and has practiced diligently for a long time; his physical reactions and speed have reached their peak. At this level, I think he is comparable to the Special Forces." Old Li chuckled lightly, remaining silent.
Next up was Wu Di, whose appearance was refreshing and eye-catching. Wu Di did not take an offensive stance; instead, he focused on building momentum, standing still with one foot forward and one back. Everyone was initially surprised. Team Leader Ding quickly reacted and launched a side kick, but Wu Di merely swayed slightly. Everyone soon realized that he was clearly prepared to withstand the attack. Team Leader Ding then employed various techniques such as throws, kicks, and pushes but still could not bring Wu Di down. As the time ticked away, Wu Di successfully passed! Old Bi remarked in admiration that it was indeed impressive internal strength; Wu Di had likely trained in the "Iron Shirt" technique from traditional Qigong, which significantly enhanced his ability to absorb blows. His skills were said to be capable of shattering bricks with punches and piercing through a cow's belly with fingers. The effectiveness of this training multiplied his foundational skills.
After watching the fight between Wu Di and Team Leader Ding, I suddenly had an idea and waved for Old Bi to come over. In front of Old Li and the others, I spoke candidly, "Old Bi, have you noticed that Team Leader Ding likes to use throws? He used them in his first two matches as well as against Sun Hu. Think about how to counter that!" I felt that Old Li was not an ordinary person, and I instinctively believed that discussing this in front of him would draw out some insights.
Sure enough, Old Li interjected, "Long-range kicks, middle-range punches, close-range elbows, grappling—everyone seems to prefer rushing in for close combat with Ding, trying to take him down quickly. So it's not surprising that he uses throws against them. From a spatial perspective, using throws is most effective when you're closest to the enemy; psychologically speaking, throwing them down has the greatest impact after striking them. In terms of combat methods, using throws is the best way to protect oneself while eliminating the opponent."
Old Bi remained silent, deep in thought. Later I learned that an ideal military combat technique should be a scientific combination of various skills to complement each other effectively. In our National Army's police combat techniques, there are many combinations of actions such as striking while grappling or grappling while striking. Thus, they possess strong practicality and adaptability; however, our country's counter-striking and counter-throwing techniques are relatively weak.
In Western armies, boxing and wrestling are prevalent due to their ease of learning and practicality in combat; however, their technical simplicity reduces their effectiveness in real combat situations. A boxer cannot gain an advantage over someone skilled in kicking during long-range fights. Even in close combat, they can easily be knocked down by powerful knee strikes. Kicking is indeed a strong suit of our National Army police forces. For instance, the Chinese Armed Police Corps' free-fighting team has showcased impressive kicking techniques that highlight Chinese prowess. Additionally, while wrestling is suitable for mid-range combat, without the combination of striking and grappling techniques, one can easily fall behind during encounters. Analyzing these situations reveals that our military police combat techniques are quite comprehensive; however, they lack focus on studying superior foreign fighting techniques, resulting in less targeted skill development and ultimately affecting Our Forces' ability to reach world-class standards.
What a talent! I sighed as Liu stepped up next; everyone was showcasing their unique skills to tackle Team Leader Ding effectively—many had already passed successfully. I was curious about Liu's approach but was surprised when he adopted a defensive stance. To my astonishment, Liu even assumed a Tai Chi starting position! I was shocked—can Tai Chi be used for combat?! The answer is yes! When Team Leader Ding charged at him, Liu managed to neutralize all of Ding's attacks—either dodging or redirecting force or leading him off balance—effectively diffusing Ding's storm-like offense. Liu passed successfully!
After Liu came Old Bi. I looked at him and noticed he seemed lost in thought again; I couldn't help but feel frustrated. I slapped his shoulder firmly and said, "Hey buddy, it's your turn! Go on!"
Old Bi stepped onto the mat and stood several meters away from Team Leader Ding. The whistle blew and timing began; however, unlike others who prepared with stances or fighting forms, he silently walked toward Team Leader Ding. Initially puzzled by this approach, Team Leader Ding smiled as he waited for Old Bi to stop and bow before attacking.
When Old Bi was less than a meter away from Team Leader Ding, he suddenly lunged forward with his right hand aimed at Ding's throat. Team Leader Ding reacted swiftly by raising his right hand to grab Old Bi's wrist just as Old Bi used his left hand to grip Ding's right wrist while pulling back his right hand to control Ding's elbow from the inside—attempting to overpower him with both hands together. At this moment, Team Leader Ding raised his left hand toward Old Bi's right hand. The two engaged in a series of dazzling movements: locks, grips, twists… However, Old Bi moved quickly and decisively around Team Leader Ding without giving him any chance to counterattack; it seemed like Ding was temporarily on the defensive without any opportunity to retaliate. However, after a flurry of attacks from Old Bi, it became clear that he was running out of energy; his speed noticeably slowed down until he inadvertently found himself caught by Team Leader Ding’s arm joint lock and was taken down onto the ground just as the whistle blew—he had passed!
Xiao Yu pouted slightly at this point and said disdainfully, "What was that? I couldn't even see clearly; they were so close together—was that really fighting? It didn't look good at all."
I felt a bit sorry for Old Bi; I believed he had given it his all. Sure enough, Old Li remarked nearby, "Wang, your cadet here can also perform Shaolin grappling." Of course, I wouldn't let Old Bi lose face; I casually replied with a grin, "He can also do Shaolin staff techniques—what’s so surprising about that?!"
Old Li clearly became interested. "You also know the Shaolin Staff Technique? I hope to see it sometime." I casually replied, "Sure, let's wait until we make it into the top six."
Just as Old Li was about to say something else, Old Bi returned, beaming as he squeezed next to Xiao Yu. "Instructors, guess what? I almost subdued Team Leader Ding." Xiao Yu rolled her eyes, and before she could respond, the captain had already called the next cadet to the stage. "Lin Hao!"
(To be continued, the next chapter will be even more exciting!)
