MMA fighters are proving Kung Fu is a crap. MMA fighters are knocking out Kung Fu "Legends" left and right. Smarter Kung Fu masters have been stopping the fight with some excuses after being pushed around. Others are just getting their ass kicked.
Makes sense...you can't be limited to one technique...must be able to spontaneously improvise in order to prevail in hand to hand, life and death combat.MMA fighters are proving Kung Fu is a crap.
As an art form and as a self cultivating discipline, Kung Fu is fine. But, honestly. When everyone was doing Kung Fu in ancient time, they had rules and regulations among themselves. So it might have worked as a combat art. But now, it's more or less an art form where its time has passed by. Don't get me wrong, some hard style might be still worth awhile in the octagon. It's like my Kendo sensei said "you gonna carry bamboo sword all the time?".I think it is strange that they are competing against each other...like a swan lake ballet troupe having a dance off with some B-boys.
Kung fu is amazing as a discipline and art form, the fact that it does not hold up to MMA seems irrelevant to me, and a shame it has to play out like that.
Should we abandon the idea of ethnic restaurants because watered down fusion recipes are popular?
Did I get off track a little? Need my morning pipe.
More of BJJ/grappling and kickboxing/Muay Thai. Judo's little different.I thought almost all MMA was a combination of Judo and Kickboxing?
Which makes Japan the home of the best close combat discipline.
Sure, street fight is something different. You can throw waitress and her puppy if you want.Never heard a guy who lost a fight then ask what style did you use? Whatever gets the job done. I've used the cue stick style to great effect and the flying waitress tray of beer is very cool if you can pull it off. Unless your black belt is made of kevlar...
You have eyes yet you cannot see grasshopper!
