The Bullied One Is Too Good at Fighting - Chapter 151
Bullying is too good at martial arts (151)
While preparing for the WFC 433 match, what Im Jin-soo suggested to Moo-gyeol was the ‘narae kick’ tactic.
A Taekwondo-style kick that gives a motion as if kicking with the back foot, then jumps and then uses the stepping foot to hit the opponent powerfully.
If you enter properly, you can inflict enormous damage, but it is not easy to activate as it is a skill with a large preliminary action.
“Flying kick? Will that work in MMA?”
That’s why Mugyeol also tilted his head and raised a question.
“don’t worry.”
Im Jin-soo had a very confident expression.
“Of course, it’s not an easy skill, but there’s no opponent better than Kojiro to apply Narae Kick.”
In fact, it’s quite common for MMA to use bizarre techniques.
In some cases, he gets a KO with a slam technique that can only be seen in pro wrestling.
Creative techniques that defy the opponent’s expectations, such as the flying arm bar, midair backspin, vertical backspin, and elbow, are one of the joys of watching MMA.
However, the Narae kick is a technique that has not been easily seen in MMA.
“To set up Narae Kick, you must first deny the opponent access.”
“Hmm.”
“If you are a guy who comes in with a punch distance, you won’t even have a chance to use a kick with such a big motion.”
“yes?”
“That’s why in South American volley tudo standing competitions, elbows are often used as a setup to match the Narae kick.”
Im Jin-soo used what he saw, heard, and felt to explain the strategy to Moo-gyeol.
“When you come into the arms, you give the impression that you’re fucked by the elbow counter, and then aim for a wing kick from mid-to-long range. But think about it. You’ve already proven that you’re pretty much invincible at punch range. Besides, Kojiro Sato is a kicker who specializes in mid- to long-range kicks in the first place.”
“That’s right.”
“I have to set it up so that it doesn’t dig into my arms, but that set-up is already over before the game even starts.”
Im Jin-soo continued to explain, raising his tone as if he was getting more and more excited.
“Now, first of all, it’s as if we’ve secured the distance for the Narae Kick. But I can’t hit Narae Kick with just this.”
“Then what should I do?”
“First of all, keep planting low kicks.”
“Like Justin Gaethje?”
“Yeah, but it’s not a strategy to break your leg with a low kick like that guy.”
Saying that, Im Jin-soo tapped his head with his index finger.
“I’m implanting a conditioned reflex in his brain, Sato Kojiro.”
“Oh, it looks like there is.”
“It’s nothing. In fact, the extreme kids do one kick check. That’s why, if you come to a match with a low kick, I’d rather welcome it with open arms. If you kick it five or six times, you’ll immediately raise your kick check just by looking at the movement of your pelvis.”
“Do you make Pavlov’s dog like that, play with it, and then kick it with a wing kick?”
“Exactly.”
“Oh oh.”
“The good thing about the wing kick is that the preparation movement is almost the same as that of the back foot low kick.”
After finishing his speech, Lim Jin-soo performed a wonderful Narae kick toward the punching bag.
Bang-.
It didn’t have much power, but it was lightning-quick.
“If perfection is your core and lower body strength, you can probably kick it with this move as well.”
“Are you awesome?”
“Of course, I think it would be much easier to solve if we fought with punches, but some pervert said he didn’t like that…” He
said that, but Im Jin-soo looked as if his heart was overflowing.
“Besides, seeing the face of a Japanese player knocking down with this Taekwondo kick at the Saitama Dome sounds like it would be quite thrilling.”
“right?”
“No matter what it is, is there any other moment that makes your heart beat that much?”
“Say it for granted.”
“Okay, the only way to get used to it is to watch it kick.”
“Okay, let’s start right away.”
From that day on, Moogyeol focused on training the low kick setup – flying kick combination until the day of the match.
Fang Fang Fang-.
At first, it was not easy to put strength into kicking, but as flexibility increased and tips were attached, kicking gradually gained strength.
woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo-!!
Soon, the flawless wing kick became a weapon powerful enough to knock down even a tolerable heavyweight fighter in one shot.
and on match day.
Mugyeol constantly planted hints in Sato Kojiro’s knee as he trained with Im Jinsu.
I’ll be aiming for your knees
Do you use extreme kicks?
If the knee is broken, its power will be halved.
Block it with a kick check.
Due to intense training, Mugyeol suffered an injury to his right foot, but Mugyeol endured the pain and aimed at Kojiro’s hamstrings.
Every time the top of my foot hit the hard shin, I felt a bigger pain, but I endured it thinking only of one moment.
The moment when Sato Kojiro puts a Taekwondo special move into his face.
The moment you smash the face of a bastard who uses the rising sun flag as a provocation!
In the middle of the first round, Mugyeol finally succeeded in catching Kojiro Sato after enduring 14 rounds of pain.
A well-placed left-footed Narae kick hit Kojiro’s right temple, sending his consciousness flying through the ceiling.
“Turn it off…”
The enormous impact of the Narae Kick turned Kojiro into a groggy state in one shot.
But I can’t be satisfied here.
As if Mugyeol was still lacking, as soon as he landed, he rotated his entire body backwards with his left foot as an axis.
Among the numerous Taekwondo kicks, this technique has the highest impact. At the same time, it is an attacking technique that was Im Jin-soo’s special move as a player.
The powerful back kick from the upper right foot struck Sato Kojiro in the nose.
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Sato Kojiro, who received two upper kicks with his head, fainted without even making a sound.
As soon as he was hit, his consciousness flew to Andromeda, and his limbs stiffened and the KO was strong enough to cause convulsions.
His eyes turned white, and his nosebleeds splashed out in all directions like the radial lines of the Rising Sun Flag, staining his face.
It goes without saying that the referee hastily ended the game.
[KO!! KO wins ah–!! Cha Moo-gyeol strikes Koji Sato with a fantastic kick linkage!! The most artistic combination of a double kick and a back kick!!]
[Taekwondo’s attacking technique makes Karate Kojiro Sato faint!! The Saitama Dome sank coldly as if
cold water had been poured on it!!] Despite the flawless victory, the atmosphere was completely different from usual.
Sato Kojiro, who came to his senses, hurriedly left the Octagon without even saying hello to the fans as if he was ashamed.
Most of the Japanese audience applauded disapprovingly with rotten expressions on their faces.
However, cheers were nowhere to be found.
Filled with sporadic applause, Saitama Dome was like an indoor concert hall after a classical concert.
However, Mugyeol didn’t seem too surprised as if he expected this scene.
After accepting the winner’s interview microphone, Mugyeol calmly let go of his luck.
“Fight is fight politics is politics history is history. The ideal would be a match that starts with a fight and ends with a fight. In games like that, we respect each other. Even after hitting each other like death and exchanging trash talk, we cheer each other up after the match.”
“…”
“But the symbol Kojiro Sato took out had nothing to do with our fight.”
At that moment, second coach Im Jin-soo offered something to Moo-gyeol.
Mugyeol accepted it with the hand that did not lift the microphone.
At first, I thought it was a pennant for celebration, but soon all the audience knew the identity of the object.
The item in Mugyeol’s hand was the Rising Sun Flag that Sato Kojiro used to provoke.
“I don’t want to talk about politics and history above the Octagon. But you probably know what this flag stands for.”
When Mugyeol raised the rising sun flag over the Octagon, Dave White raised his voice in amazement.
“Flawless! What are you doing! No political propaganda! flawless-! What a shame-!”
However, Mugyeol raised the rising sun flag without hesitation.
Im Jin-soo threw a portable lighter at the right timing.
“This is a shameful past. It is also a symbol that hurts just by looking at it. Just as my T-shirt with the mushroom cloud from the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki offended you.”
“….”
“No one should be proud of this.”
Moogyeol finished speaking and lit the Rising Sun Flag with a lighter without hesitation.
Roaring–!!
In the middle of Saitama Dome, Japan’s best indoor sports facility, where 30,000 Japanese spectators gathered, the Rising Sun Flag flared up.
In the middle of the hall full of silence.
“Perfect-! No way!”
Only Dave White’s screams echoed and filled the dome.
* * *
[WFC 433 Fantastic Narae Kick – KO win with back kick combination!]
[Kick vs. kick match, complete victory.]
[Victory performance that was more impressive than the content of the match. symbol]
[Korean fans cheer for the ‘Rising Sun Flag Performance’.]
[Punishment inevitable for the embarrassing WFC political performance… Dave White “discussing the level of punishment”]
The WFC 433 contest broke the hearts of Koreans in many ways. It was a semi-contest.
It was Sato Kojiro, who jabged with the Rising Sun Flag and launched a wide-area provocation before the match, so everyone was looking forward to a cool KO victory this time around.
But not just a KO win, but a fainting KO win with a typical Taekwondo kick combination.
In addition, the performance after the game was added, and the enthusiasm of the Koreans soared to the point of literally rising above the clouds.
[I’ve been swearing at gukppong for a while, but this is the true taste of gukppong]
[I have no choice but to admit it hahaha. Even if the hostess uses a welcome alter ego, all 100 people will
die from overwork] [Even saying I’m tired isn’t enough;; In MMA, wing kick KO;]
[In Taekwondo these days, there are very few matches where you faint with a kick combination like that] [ Did you see the last
round kick hit and stiffen up ?]
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha]
[It was just a fucking perfect contest until the final Rising Sun Flag ceremony]
[I heard Mugyeol could be punished?]
[Hahahaha, is that the problem? No matter how long you get punished for that kind of thing, it’s ah]
[I’ve already been recognized as one of the top fighters, but I think I’ll just have to film commercials and play around then come back]
[You can run a liquor store like McGregor lol To be honest, I won’t give a shit]
But the expressions of the WFC executives was not very good
No matter how top-notch star players are, it is problematic to perform a performance containing a political message on top of the Octagon.
WFC shareholders and management held an emergency meeting to determine the level of disciplinary action for this matter.
Dave White desperately tried to prevent the punishment of innocence, but shareholders and executives stood firm.
“Everyone’s flawless performance was justified. The Rising Sun Flag is a symbol as sensitive as the Hakenkreuz of the Nazis in Asia. The antipathy to it is all too natural.”
“Mr. White, you are right. However, having such thoughts and performing during a live broadcast are two different things. If you wanted to get your message across, you needed to speak through your own channels or at least have the content reviewed by WFC management.”
“!”
“It is not that we cannot sympathize with that feeling. But if you just overlook this, you’re setting a very bad precedent.”
“If I said that an unknown player caused such a controversy, would a disciplinary committee like this have been convened? Perhaps President Dave White would have given you a severe punishment and it would have ended.”
In the end, Dave White had to return without convincing the shareholders.
Nevertheless, thanks to constant complaints, he succeeded in reducing the period of business suspension, which was discussed as a ‘two-year suspension of business trip’, to one year.
After the meeting, chairman Dave White called Moo Gyeol into the office and delivered the sad news with a dark expression.
“I have good news and bad news. What do you want to hear first?”
“Well, let’s start with the good news.”
“Johnny Bones has announced that he is giving up the moon. He’ll probably stay at light heavyweight until retirement. You always wanted to hang out with Johnny Bones.”
“Yes.”
“Your turn will be back soon. Cha Mu-gyeol vs Johnny Bones will become a reality.”
Mugyeol nodded and asked the next question.
“Then what about the bad news?”
“I don’t think I can avoid being punished for this Rising Sun Flag performance.”
Dave White’s voice was hoarse.
“I hope I don’t misunderstand you. The WFC… no. At least I, the president, am on your side unconditionally. It’s the position that the damn Rising Sun Flag needs to be kicked out of this floor.”
“….”
“But, as you know, the WFC is an organization that is funded by various organizations. I wish I could decide everything my way…”
Having said that, Dave White let out a big sigh.
“Sorry. All I can say is this.”
However, Mugyeol was surprisingly quite resolute.
“To some extent, this is an expected result.”
“Is that so?”
“Calling campaigns on social media and interviews on podcasts… All are good, but it’s difficult to create a ripple effect. I wanted to convey my will in a live broadcast watched by hundreds of millions of people.”
“…wouldn’t you have told me in advance?”
“Wouldn’t he have let you do that?”
Dave White cleared his throat as if he wasn’t wrong.
“So how much was the punishment?”
“It’s been a year.”
“…”
“That’s also two years, and I risked my life to stop the words coming out, so I cut it in half.”
WFC 433 was held in October 2027.
If he receives a full year of punishment, he will be able to play WFC again from October 2028.
“If this happened, take a break for about a year. You’ve been running without a break all this time.”
“….”
“Yes, it would be okay to shoot commercials or movies. Even if you do commercial activities, there is no problem with the contract. Thanks to the Rising Sun Flag burning ceremony, your image soared to the sky.”
“no.”
But Mugyeol shook his head.
“I can’t waste my time like that.”
“Then what are you planning to do? At least professional boxing again?”
“no.”
Looking at the yearly calendar in Dave White’s room, Mugyeol smiled.
“Pro boxing is good, but…”
July 2028.
Innocent eyes were directed there.
