23. Sparring Tour (2)
Preparation is complete.
The first person to enter the Octagon was Ahn Dong-yup.
With his short-cut hair, rugged look, and well-built body weighing 70kg, you could tell he was a martial arts athlete at a glance. His weight was adjusted so that it did not deviate too much. For professional athletes, it wouldn’t matter if they were 100 to 20 kg different from the average person, but it didn’t make sense for the average person to compete with a high-weight professional.
for that reason.
Ahn Dong-yeop and Hwang Dae-myeong were selected.
Victory is a victory, but Lee Doo-hak hoped that there would be no unnecessary backlash for trampling on ordinary people.
Ahn Dong-yeop ran slowly.
The sight of him walking around the Octagon showed how familiar this space was.
yet.
The opposing player came up.
With a face like that of a gisaeng brother, Ahn Dong-yeop distorted his expression.
‘It looks a bit thick.’
In fact, I didn’t like Jeong Doo-cheol from the moment he accompanied the two high school students.
Hyunseong Kim and Siwoo Kim.
Both were handsome enough to be martial arts players.
While Kim Hyun-seong showed a manly and warm appearance while bulking up, Kim Si-woo looked like a typical gisaeng brother. It wouldn’t be awkward to mix in with the idol members right away. Seeing these kids trying so hard to become good at martial arts made Ahn Dong-yeop’s inferiority complex(?) squirm.
Regardless of personal feelings.
After all, didn’t Lee Du-hak ask for help?
Don’t let down your guard and end up in trouble; instead, trample on your opponent completely and improve the gym’s reputation.
‘furthermore… … .’
I glanced around and looked around.
There were more famous people than I thought.
People who were senior or junior to Jeong Doo-cheol were already prominent figures in the fighting world, and those involved in martial arts had considerable influence. What if I was defeated in front of them. There was nothing funnier than that. I don’t know if I didn’t accept it, but from the moment I said I would fight against him, a half-baked match was not allowed.
‘sorry. But the problem is your teacher who suggested this match in the first place.’
Tuk-tuk.
I relaxed.
As I was lightly jumping in place, the referee came inside.
“Player, position.”
“Yes, yes.”
I took a step.
I faced Kim Si-woo.
When I saw his handsome face up close, I got really annoyed.
‘This looks a bit like shit.’
That moment.
The referee who explained the safety rules took a step back and shouted.
“start-!”
* * *
Touch gloves were omitted.
As Jeong Doo-cheol’s disciples did not have a very good relationship, Ahn Dong-yeop immediately closed the distance from the start.
Pot.
Tatak.
Ahn Dong-yeop’s style.
It was a hot fight like Lee Doo-hak.
He was an amateur boxer in middle and high school, so it was advantageous for him to close the distance as he used a basic boxing stance. The opponent is only an amateur. Whatever his opponent’s style, he was not confident he could be defeated at close range.
however.
I hadn’t even gotten into the punch range yet, but a threatening low kick exploded.
Bah!
“?!”
The damage was considerable.
The speed and damage of the kick were not for the average person. With just one blow, the thought of looking down on Kim Si-woo disappeared from my mind at once. Now that I see it, it wasn’t a typical style. With a light stance that allowed him to throw a kick at any time, it was clear that his opponent was a kick specialist.
‘So you’re saying he’s not just an ordinary person?’
Even so.
The result doesn’t change.
If you could win with just a few kicks, mixed martial arts wouldn’t exist.
Pot-
I dug into the space.
As the distance narrowed, the kick exploded.
Ahn Dong-yeop reacted sensitively.
As he was trying to catch the kick and knock down his opponent, he gasped in momentary pain.
Bah!
“Sigh!”
It wasn’t a low kick.
A method that attacks a little lower than the thigh.
It was a calf kick.
The calf kick is an attack style that emerged as mixed martial arts developed. It was short, fast, and very difficult to catch. It was a kind of build-up. Prepare for the kick with a low kick, then attempt an attack to break the response with a calf kick. Ahn Dong-yeop began to feel impatient without realizing it.
‘If this much damage is accumulated from a calf kick, it will be difficult for me.’
Against boxing stance.

Players who used calf kicks were like natural enemies.
Ahn Dong-yeop’s style of putting his weight on his front leg with his front foot out shows off boxing’s unique explosive power when exchanging punches at close range, but as soon as he loses the distance a little, he inevitably falls victim to a calf kick. The situation becomes more disadvantageous as damage accumulates. Ahn Dong-yeop made a quick decision from the beginning of the game.
‘Let’s not give distance.’
The hit was allowed.
After tightening his guard, he cornered his opponent and immediately threw punches at Kim Si-woo.
hook.
Bang, bang!
The punching power exploded.
As if the record of 4 wins and 1 loss was not created for nothing, the punches that alternately hit the top and bottom as soon as the distance was secured were truly explosive. If your opponent takes a step back, take another step back. Ahn Dong-yeop’s punches hit all directions without any hesitation as he attacked unconditionally, trying not to give the kick any distance. Most players would have weaknesses in this attack, but Kim Si-woo’s guard was stronger than expected.
Bah!
Pop, pop, pop!
There was no significant damage.
He just kept hitting the guard, and Kim Si-woo went around the octagon while making use of his steps.
The intention was to drop him as much as he came, and if An Dong-yeop’s feet were even a little slow while delivering a punch, the kick would be explosive.
Bah!
I stumbled.
I got goosebumps slightly.
‘This is dangerous.’
Solid defense and threatening kicks.
I wasn’t a normal high school student.
If he has trained to this extent, it would not be strange for him to debut as a professional right away, and above all, his opponent reacted very calmly even when he encountered him at close range. Jeong Doo-cheol’s fame was not in vain. As he was a person who reached the top, there was something special about the students he taught, even if they were high school students.
Quickly.
I gritted my teeth.
There are people watching.
I couldn’t show the slightest weakness to them.
I’ve already heard reviews that he only catches rookies, so it was obvious what he would hear if he struggled against amateurs.
‘It’s obvious how to attack players who focus on kicking.’
I chose reality.
Wow, got it!
It was a combination.
Extend the jab and hook.
If your opponent avoids it.
Papat.
I put my head down and dug in.
It was the ground.
No matter how well you use your kick, it is meaningless if you are dragged to the floor.
This is mixed martial arts.
Ahn Dong-yup, who struggled with his boxing style for a while, has enough wrestling skills to take down amateur strikers.
But then.
“… … ?!”
Ahn Dong-yeop opened his eyes wide.
I definitely hung my head down.
As if he had been waiting, he saw a fist coming out to meet him.
Bah!
* * *
A fleeting moment.
Ahn Dong-yeop’s judgment was threatening.
He set up a build-up with a punch combination, then dug in right away and put into practice a perfect plan to destroy his opponent.
I felt confident.
It was clearly an attack that would work.
It was an attack that would be absolutely difficult for an amateur to respond to, but it did not apply to his opponent, Kim Si-woo.
‘The moment the kick is judged to be threatening, the opponent will unconditionally try to ground. Now that people’s attention is focused, you don’t want to take the risk of only hitting against amateurs.’
A little over a year.
It wasn’t enough to rub against the pros.
but.
Kim Hyun-sung and Kim Si-woo have made progress that goes beyond common sense.
He put in more effort than professionally trained athletes, and sparred with Kim Hyun-seong every day as if he were going to kill his opponent. As a result, Kim Si-woo knew his own strengths and weaknesses. Because he was a Taekwondo player, he had considerable strength in kicking, but as much as he had to use kicks, he also had a weakness on the ground.
Hyunseong Kim exploited that weakness every time.
Under Kim Hyun-seong’s countless attacks, Kim Si-woo collapsed each time and gained experience.
How should I respond?
Is it possible to exploit the weakness in reverse?
It was a defeat for Lee Du-hak.
Ahn Dong-yeop’s information was all over the Internet, but they didn’t know what kind of style Kim Si-woo they were dealing with was.
Not only is he good at kicking.
And the brains to use it.
He also had talent.
As soon as he judged An Dong-yeop’s punch to be a build-up, he extended an uppercut to the position where he expected the tackle to come in. That’s not what I saw and reacted to. An attack that anticipates the opponent’s attempts and reacts one step ahead.
They fit together.
It was an attack that Ahn Dong-yeop could never avoid.
Bah!
Beetle.
A bloody sound was heard.
After being hit hard in the face, Dong-yeop Ahn stumbled and showed his will to hold on somehow.
It was amazing.
As if to prove that he is not a professional player for nothing.
Ahn Dong-yeop’s tenacity went beyond common sense.
But that was all.
At a time when Ahn Dong-yeop was unable to deal with the damage, a high kick exploded on the side of his head.
Bah!
That was the end.
One powerful kick.
Ahn Dong-yeop was thrown to the ground.
Quadang!
* * *
Inside the spacious gym.
Silence fell.
The people who had been talking just now held their breath at the unexpected result.
Ahn Dong-yeop’s defeat.
It was shocking.
No matter how good his record was against rookies, it was impossible for a professional with 4 wins and 1 loss to lose to an ordinary person. And that’s just against high school students. At a time when everyone was looking at the Octagon and Director Lee Doo-hak alternately, Kim Si-woo spit out his mouthpiece and walked toward the cage.
“Director. I heard Seoul is big. “Pros can’t even last one round?”
“This bastard.”
Duhak Lee was furious.
Either that or not.
Kim Si-woo didn’t care.
It was intentional.
He had two reasons for acting this way.
first.
I did not like the attitude towards Jeong Doo-cheol.
For Kim Si-woo, who did not know the details, such as that Jeong Doo-cheol used drugs and received 100 million won from Kim Hyun-seong, Jeong Doo-cheol was a teacher who taught him how to become stronger. However, the atmosphere at Lee Doo-hak’s gym openly looked down on Jeong Doo-cheol. When he first entered the gym, no one spoke to him first, even though he was clearly recognized.
That aside.
The real reason was the second.
‘Hyeonseong is planning to leave Daesan soon. And he probably won’t take me with him.’
I didn’t know at first.
Cleaning up the school.
Conquer Daesan.
When Kim Hyun-sung was doing various things, he thought he was being useful, but as time went by, Kim Hyun-sung’s intentions began to appear. He supported me financially and forced me to study. Even though he pushed himself as if he was going to die at any moment, he never told himself to train with such evil.
So I found out.
His role ends at Daesan.
That’s why I couldn’t stay still.
A sacrifice like Ahn Dong-yeop is at the level of attacking the opponent’s guard and breaking it.
I had nothing to say to Kim Hyun-seong.
Kim Si-woo said.
“I don’t think there’s any need to go to Hyeonseong at this level. Just stick with me next time. “I have too much stamina left to go down like this.”
That’s true.
It was a remark that really irritated Lee Du-hak.
