Vietnamese Wing Chun master knocks out "Czechoslovakian giant"
After a series of blows that were no different from… a tank-shooting rifle, the Wing Chun master turned around and delivered a One-Inch Punch that hit the giant's temple, making him dizzy.
After finishing a few medical treatments for two patients with stroke and herniated disc, martial artist Nguyen Khac Chuong - Head of Y Vo Thien Phuc martial arts school sat down to take a break, sipped a cup of tea, and then told us about special memories in his 30 years of martial arts.
The unexpected match left the "Czechoslovak giant" stunned.
Master Truong said that he started learning martial arts at the age of 16 with the Shaolin Kunlun style. But realizing that martial arts are vast and profound, he went abroad to study Taekwondo, Shaolin Southern School, at a very young age.
Until one day (in 1988), the young man Nguyen Khac Chuong met a master of Wing Chun, the man with the "golden hands" of Vietnamese martial arts - the late martial artist Trinh Quoc Dinh, and immediately took the senior as his master.
Martial arts master Nguyen Khac Chuong demonstrates his skills with his disciples.
During the long months, Khac Chuong practiced both Shaolin Southern School and Wing Chun, with one teacher in the morning and another in the afternoon. With his natural talent, in no time, his martial arts skills reached a level of proficiency.
But being an engineer, Khac Chuong was sent to Czechoslovakia (today's Czech Republic) with a transportation company to study and work in the field of train repair.
In a foreign land, Khac Chuong joined a martial arts club to satisfy his passion that had been in his blood for a long time.
Master Truong said that at that time, society in Czechoslovakia was still full of complications. Every night, black young men with “gangster heads” would fight everywhere.
Many times, the group knew he knew “Asian kung fu” and immediately came to pick a fight or asked to learn from him when he had just finished his night shift. However, he never met a worthy opponent.
After many times of "physical violence", Nguyen Khac Chuong became a famous name in foreign lands. Until one day, he was finally troubled by an opponent who had not once appeared before.
Surprisingly, this opponent turned out to be Nguyen Khac Chuong's "boss", a choir leader named Petr, who worked at the same train repair shop.
In terms of strength, this guy was “unrivaled” in the area. He was about 2 meters tall, weighed about 120 kg, and had bulging muscles.
Normally, the magnetic brakes of the train weighed about 150 kg and when installed, they needed to be lifted up with a wheelbarrow and then screwed in. But he only needed to lift them with both hands and hold them in place, while others just had to screw them in and his face remained expressionless.
Seeing Nguyen Khac Chuong's reputation growing, he decided to choose a beautiful night and invite Chuong to compete.
As soon as we met, he said frankly: "Today, you and I will try our hand together. I want to know what Asian martial arts are like, but I believe that just hugging you tightly is enough to make you stop breathing!"
Although he didn't want to fight, with the "boss's" frankness and frankness, Khac Chuong accepted.
The two sides looked at each other for a few seconds. Khac Chuong took a defensive stance, and the guardian also spread his arms and stood in a stance. Khac Chuong threw several hammer-like kicks, but he remained still, not even bothering to counterattack, as if he was thinking in his head: "Let me hit you as much as I want"!
When kicking was no match, he punched. Khac Chuong threw about ten more punches but he remained motionless. At this point, knowing he had encountered a master, Khac Chuong suddenly thought:
“Hitting him with normal attacks now is like using a rifle to shoot a tank, we have to switch to other tactics.”
Suddenly, Khac Chuong kicked the copper shin several times. At this moment, feeling the pain, the guardian became angry and started to counterattack.
But when he just withdrew his hand, intending to throw a thunderous punch, Khac Chuong turned around and approached, jerked a One-Inch Force strike to the temple, then kicked his lower body. The guardian was stunned and fell to the floor.
After a while, he regained consciousness. He approached Nguyen Khac Chuong and said: “Your skills are truly formidable. Today I have truly opened my eyes!”
Although he is in his fifties, martial artist Nguyen Khac Chuong still possesses very agile movements..
The opponent can't beat them, so we have to use a strategy to sow discord.
After 4 years in the Czech Republic, Nguyen Khac Chuong returned to Vietnam to pursue his martial arts career. Since then, he has not stepped into the ring to compete, but even so, street-style fights, without any rules or regulations, still take place on a daily basis.
About 2 years ago, despite his old age, he still experienced such a match with a friend in Saigon.
During a trip to the South, a friend who was also a young martial artist but had a famous reputation in Saigon decided to invite him to his home with the purpose of judging his talent, to see if the person known as the "divine power martial artist" in Hanoi was worthy of his reputation.
Faced with his friend's "kind intention", martial artist Chuong had no choice but to accept.
After arriving at your house for a while, while chatting, your friend suddenly ran to the gate, picked up a very hard solid brick, brought it in and said:
“Your skills are so famous, I sometimes see you performing Iron Sand Palm, breaking concrete, so can you smash this brick with one strike?”
Master Truong did not say anything, but just gently pulled his hand up, slapped it, and the brick shattered. His friend suddenly became absent-minded for a moment.
“Your arms and legs are like that, but they are probably not as strong as mine. If we fought, I think it would be difficult for you to defend yourself…” - my friend said, pointing to his banana-like hands.
After a moment of thought, martial arts master Chuong said: "Do you have a spacious place at home? Let's try a few moves." Immediately, his friend led him downstairs.
But surprisingly, the match only lasted about 2 minutes. With a powerful punch, the guest sent his friend flying across the table.
Hit by a dangerous blow, the host immediately admitted defeat and said:
“At first, I thought it would be easy to beat you because I had competed all over the South without ever losing. But today, I thought you were a different person. I had heard many people talk about you but didn’t believe it. Today, I believe it.”
After that, the friend insisted on inviting martial arts master Chuong to stay for dinner to show his admiration.
Martial artist Nguyen Khac Chuong is praised by the martial arts community as a person with "divine power".
Master Nguyen Khac Chuong said that since teaching Wing Chun, for nearly 30 years, many people have come to the school to challenge him. Some people come with nice words, while others use insulting and slanderous words.
On the 29th of Tet 2014, when martial artist Chuong was planning to go home to his wife's parents for the New Year's Eve dinner, suddenly 4 guests came to the martial arts school wanting to "exchange". Among these 4 people, there was someone who had lost before but was still not satisfied, so he expressed his desire to have a rematch.
However, the outcome was still the same. The four guests took turns competing, but all of them lost after just a few moves, and one was even knocked out after just 3 seconds.
Martial artist Nguyen Khac Chuong said he had never been defeated. But he had three times fallen victim to jealousy and resentment through the same repeated divisive tactics.
Those were the times when opponents came to challenge him but lost. After that, they used tricks to incite and persuade their trusted disciples to turn against him, or they all quit the martial arts school.
“The taller the tree, the stronger the wind. The more achievements you have, the more gossip you will receive. Even the famous Nguyen Trai was sentenced to extermination of his entire family, let alone me” – martial artist Nguyen Khac Chuong talked about the thing that made him feel most miserable.
The martial artist also confided that he never really cared about winning or losing, let alone fame or fortune.
So he has taught martial arts for over 20 years to thousands of students in the country and abroad, even going to patients' homes to treat them, but he has never collected a single penny in tuition fees, even though there were times when they did not have enough to eat.
Since establishing Y Vo Thien Phuc to teach martial arts combined with healing and saving people, he has only collected tuition fees at a level sufficient to maintain the school.
In addition to teaching martial arts, martial arts master Nguyen Khac Chuong especially values healing and saving people.
Martial arts master Nguyen Khac Chuong said: “The ultimate goal of practicing martial arts is not to fight. Martial arts practitioners should not think about the ego, but think about the self, think about the community before practicing martial arts.”
“Our enemy is not a martial arts master, but ourselves. We learn martial arts to conquer ourselves, not fearing life and death, not discussing winning or losing, not caring about fame or profit, to put everything into nothingness…” - the martial arts master smiled.
The unique Yuan Ping Gong technique Master Nguyen Khac Chuong is the creator of Vien Binh Cong – using a ball to practice martial arts and practice energy. This is a unique martial art only available at Y Vo Thien Phuc. The unique thing about Vien Binh Cong is that it not only trains fighting ability (through twisting techniques with the distance between the ball and the distance between the two arms in combat) but also trains the Qi, which is very effective for Qigong health preservation and healing. A few years ago, a delegation from the World Vovinam Federation, including many senior coaches from Europe, visited master Nguyen Khac Chuong to practice Vien Binh Cong for 2 weeks. |
