Qi Jiguang said in "Ji Xiaoxin Lun". A reward and punishment for comparing martial arts: "There, weight should be more important than the weapons used in confrontation. If you are familiar with it, you will go into battle lightly when you get cold feet, and you will naturally be quick with your hands and feet and not be defeated by weapons. This is the power of practicing hands. In normal times, every soldier must learn to run a mile at a time to avoid panting. For example, the ancients were full of sand, and gradually increased, and the enemy went to the sand, which was natural and light, and it was the power of pedicure. If you train in peacetime, your armor will be heavy. Refers to the intensity of physical training. " Qi Jiguang's military training is to train "strength of hands", "strength of feet" and "strength of body" for "facing the enemy" and "facing the battle", but obviously fitness can be achieved through training, and fitness can be beneficial to actual combat.
