Is anyone familiar with Fukui and Sasaki Kojiro?

Yicheng Waterfall is located in the upper reaches of Yicheng Furukawa, running through Chaocang site, with a solemn waterfall drop of12m, and a female waterfall with a drop of 5m nearby. Surrounded by lush valleys, it is very cool even in midsummer. Legend has it that Sasaki Kojiro, a swordsman who fought Musashi Miyamoto in Ada Island, practiced here and created his own stunt "Anti-Swallow Style", and the large historical TV series Musashi was also filmed here.

Sasaki Kojiro (? - 16 12)。 The founder of Sasaki Ada.

Compared with Musashi, who was born in poverty, Kojiro grew up surrounded by the aura of support and praise. However, unlike those mediocre dude, Kojiro is definitely a great swordsman. Although I once taught myself the technique of Liu Futian Gotha with Zhong Juan, Liu Yan, founded by Kojiro himself, used a much longer knife than Gotha's. Kojiro's love knife "Changguang" is a long knife as long as three feet and two inches, and Kojiro's stunt "Yan Hui" can bring the benefits of the long knife to the extreme. However, this is Kojiro, even "Yan Hui" is useless, and he was defeated by Musashi Miyamoto's sword. Kojiro couldn't give full play to the advantages of long knives when fighting with Musashi, because Musashi specially made a wooden knife before the duel. The knife is four feet and two inches long, which is a whole foot longer than Kojiro's "Changguang".

Because Kojiro didn't pass the stunt "Yan Hui" to his disciples before the duel, this trick was lost. Perhaps you can appreciate Kojiro's "Yan Hui" from "Yan Hui, the Secret Sword", which is one of the quiet killers (I wonder if you can really draw firebirds ...).

The legendary fencing-Yan Hui.

In the history of Japanese Warring States, the only people who dare to be called "Great Sword Master" are Shangquan Yi Shi Shouxin Gang, the originator of the new evil stream, and Musashi Xuanxin (Musashi Miyamoto), the first ancestor of the second grade.

The battle that made the latter famous in the world was the most famous kendo battle in the Warring States Period: the Battle of Ada Island.

Dating back to April 13th, 17th year of Qing Dynasty, 391 years ago, Musashi was just exempted from fighting with Sasaki Kojiro, Sasaki's group, on Kokurazhou Island (now Ada Island). The outcome of this battle is a household name. Now, I want to talk about the loser in this duel: Sasaki Kojiro, who was strict with Kojiro and blocked Sakamoto in the front. I once rolled out of Zhai Tong's home in Zhongtiaoshan.

Nakagawa is the oldest fencing school in Japan with historical records, which was founded by Nakagawa Hyogo (? - 1348).

Moreover, Zhong Juan has always been a master of Zhai Tongjia, and even Yidong Yidaozhai, the originator of Yidong Yidaozhai, is one of his disciples. He created Zhong Liujuan himself, which can be said to have reached the realm of a great swordsman, but why is his reputation in history not as good as that of two disciples? Kojiro and Yidaozhai probably belong to the hermit type, but we can know that the source of his fencing teacher Tomita is the middle stream Tomita, and Tomita is good at using Gotha's skills.

Godach's specifications are nearly half shorter than the regular long Dao, but it is because of its "short" that it can play a flexible and fast advantage in combat and is good at short-range stabbing and flashing. What comes to mind here is that Si Naisen is pale and purple, and Gotha is a master! In Gothic, it's not easy to break his defense even with a flying sword. People are also handsome ... Off topic, Khan ...) As we all know, the weapon used by Kojiro is not Gotha, on the contrary, it is the longest wild Taidao. Its unique way, its own style, is the real way for swordsmen to break new ground. According to "Talking about the fencing world", one day, Kojiro defeated Zheng Jing with his unique skill of "cutting the tiger" and became famous in World War I, creating his own Yan Liu school (Rock Flow, Wish Flow and Eye Flow), which was also called Yan Liu Kojiro from now on. Kojiro's life is not recorded much, but a name-Yan Hui is mentioned from time to time in the legend. As his favorite skill, Yan Hui's name originated from Sasaki Kojiro. As a soldier, he traveled around the world and cut down swallows flying in the air in Zhoufangguo (Yamaguchi Prefecture), creating a story of "Yan Hui".

Among birds, swallows are famous for their flying speed. You can chop swallows with a sword. These swordsmanships are amazing! Unfortunately, this stunt was lost, because no one taught it before the Ada Island War. For this reason, I have studied for a long time and consulted many materials, and come to a conclusion: Yan Hui's skill is actually an extremely abstruse kind of swordsmanship. Speaking of swordsmanship (I am reminded of Mark again ... ~ Tian Xiang Dragon Flash! ! ! ! ! ), it must be said that Qi Lin and Chongji (1547-1617) even created the Dream Stream of God. Qi Lin even helped Shigeyoshi, as an ancient Japanese, to be born in Lincun (Yamagata-CHO, Yamagata Prefecture today) and try to avenge his father.

Finally, the skill of sword drawing is created: the advantage of using a Taidao with a handle and a blade much longer than the ordinary size is that when it is cut into a circular motion, the speed and attack power of the tip will be quite amazing. This is a sword drawing technique that combines attack and sword drawing. If it's clear, it's just to speed up the sword drawing and knife closing. (It's super, super, super hard to practice at the same time. I've tried it, but fortunately it's a blunt knife, otherwise my precious hand ...) This is just the same as Sasaki Kojiro's long knife, and it's the first one. Its knife is equipped with a long captain's lamp (also known as dry goods), which proves that Kojiro's knife is more than three feet long, not only much longer than Gotha's one foot and five inches, but also about 30 centimeters longer than ordinary Taidao. This length is very similar to the "faithfulness" used by Qi Lin.

The attack method of drawing a sword is in deep agreement with the principle of "one blow will kill" emphasized by Japanese kendo. To put it simply, it can be summed up in one word: quick! (The example is Tian Xiang Dragon Flash, calling himself a Mark fan ~ ~ ~)

It is this fast word, combined with the story of flying swallow holding a knife, that only the high-speed swordsmanship issued by drawing a knife can catch up with the swallow who is also famous for its fast. This is the second point. The third point is not very reliable, which comes from the secret sword of Ukyo Tachibana, the cool brother of SNK's famous fighting game "Souling"-Yan Hui!

It's really nice not to say anything. This is also a painting saber. The ultimate feature of drawing a sword is to defeat the enemy with static braking first, emphasizing that one move will kill, and there is no possibility of a second move. When you draw your sword, your defects are also exposed. If you can't kill the enemy at that moment, unless the other person is stupid, you will only die yourself.

The most important thing is to have a calm heart, so as to quickly reflect the specific things around you (such as the enemy's every move, even subtle physical changes, etc.). ), so as to determine the best time to break the knife.

In the battle of Ada Island, look at Musashi's practice:

Make an appointment for a duel before 8 noon. Out of respect for his opponent, Kojiro arrived at the scene early. Musashi, on the other hand, must be late, and the rules stipulate that opponents will abstain before ten o'clock noon. Musashi hasn't arrived yet at nine o'clock. It is conceivable that Kojiro is waiting anxiously at the moment, and he has a sense of loss, thinking that he won without fighting. But at half past nine, Musashi suddenly appeared. At that time, Kojiro naturally had no calm attitude towards the enemy.

In addition:

Kojiro immediately drew his sword and prepared to fight. But Musashi said slowly, "Kojiro, you are defeated! If you are the winner, how can you throw away the scabbard? " Kojiro was anxious and angry. Only the above two points are enough to illustrate Musashi's cunning. With psychological tactics (I fell, I could use this thing at that time, my God), I broke the water-stop state of Kojiro, which inevitably made the Yan Hui stunt at the bottom of Kojiro wardrobe unusable. Then he abandoned his specialty: two knives, and sharpened a four-foot boat as a knife to break Kojiro's three-foot dry raft. Alas, the genius of heaven and earth, who was not good at swords, died under the tricks of villains until Yan returned. It was a great fortune of heaven and earth! !
