What is the real Chinese martial arts like?

As a fighting fan who has practiced Taekwondo and Muay Thai since junior high school and practiced traditional martial arts in high school, let me briefly talk about my own understanding. It may not be correct, please be more correct! Before the age of twenty-five, I was also an iron fan of various foreign martial arts. I also believed that Chinese martial arts was purely a form of martial arts, but gradually, with the enrichment of age, experience and knowledge, my cognition was gradually changed. I wonder if the fighting fans among you have seriously studied the latest fighting films such as "The Trail of Japanese Pirates", "Master", "Arrower Willow White Ape" and foreign "Ultimate Fighter 23", "Blood and Bone"? Kung fu is a killing technique. Among them, fists and feet were originally "useless" according to Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Ji Xiao", and they were just to lay the foundation for weapons, because the battlefield or bandit suppression of that era was more particular than the current mixed martial arts. Minimum effort, fastest and maximum damage. Therefore, in a sense, the Xingyiquan of the three major boxing methods of the Neijia is actually the battlefield marksmanship, Bagua is the swordsmanship, and Taiji is the swordsmanship. On the other hand, no matter how comprehensive and actual MMA is, it is a sports event after all, not a battlefield that pays attention to killing efficiency. It is definitely not as good as the Chinese Kung Fu born on the battlefield. At my age, I suddenly realized that, aside from those improved routines for the sake of difficulty and good-looking in martial arts competitions, there are actually many secret combat-type routines in martial arts, which are very ugly and weird. In fact, every movement is not superfluous. And fancy, there are hidden murderous intentions at the cost of countless blood and lives! The key is to see if there is a master who is willing to guide you from the perspective of actual combat or even feed you! Once this kind of play from philosophical ideas to detail traps is spread, it is truly terrible! As a race, whites and blacks, whose physical fitness and fighting skills are much stronger than those of the Orientals, will become even more powerful once they master it, because they are not "practicing boxing without practicing", but in fact, a layer of window paper will be pierced! Now, when I think back to my high school teacher who taught me the 108-style Sanshou, those weird routines, the reasoning and murderous intent behind each action, are really the essence of countless seniors who have gone through countless actual battles! And the two-handed swordsmanship I practiced is similar to many moves in Japanese Kendo Iaido, but the evolution and hidden ultimate moves in the routines are so sharp, it can be said to be wonderful! The real Chinese martial arts fight is similar to the fighting skills practiced by the agents in "The Bourne Bourne", or a bit similar to the Israeli "Sambo", but it is definitely not a mixed martial arts that pursues heavy punches, fast legs and slow ground joint skills. Because the efficiency is too low!
