Four of the "Five Tiger Generals" have never studied martial arts with their teachers. Are they really self-taught?
Guan Yu, there is a lot of information about Guan Yu's later period, but there are few records about his parents and his early brothers and sisters, saying that he was born in a scholarly family, that he practiced martial arts since childhood, and that his teacher's surname was Hu and so on. Most of these records are fabricated, but it is true that the people who killed them were bullies and so on. It can be seen that they have their own martial arts since childhood.
Zhang Fei, he should be the only one who has learned martial arts. When he left home, he met an old man. I want him to learn martial arts, and I think it is good to learn martial arts. Zhang Fei invited him to drink. He taught Zhang Fei martial arts, so he learned martial arts and embarked on the road of drifting north.
Zhao Yun, the grandson of several generations of Zhao She, likes martial arts since childhood. This is normal, including Zhao Tai, Zhao Yun's father, who also likes martial arts. Although Zhao Yun doesn't have a master, his genes are there.
Ma Chao, Ma Chao's father is Marten, and he is definitely an old warlord. He is one of Cao Cao's men. Cao Cao once wanted Ma Chao to be a partial general, which also proved that Ma Chao's family affairs were here. Although he is not a master, it is not a big deal that he knows martial arts.
Huang Zhong, this is really not recorded, but Huang Zhong is the oldest of these people. I think he may have been in the army since he was a child, or did he learn martial arts by accident?
Mainly related to the time of birth, they were born in an era from stability to turmoil, creating such a "five tigers club."
