Honestly this looks so fancy and rehearsed I'm a little skeptical of how these techniques would be applied in combat. In Tae Kwon Do (Chung-Do style) one throws hard, straight, powerful techniques to end the fight with one smashing blow in theory. This looks very...Showy.
@viskarenvisla The "showy" nature of the moves is due to this being a demonstration video. Demonstraitions tend to use fully extended and somewhat garish moves, but the basic principle is the same: Choy lay fut is a powerful style that breaks down gates and break in skulls. It has a deep stance that provides a stable, strong base, and its core fighting principle involves smashing an opponents arms and head with whipping hammer fists.
"Choy Li Fut is the most effective system that I've seen for fighting more than one person. [It] is one of the most difficult styles to attack and defend against. Choy Li Fut is the only style [of kung fu] that traveled to Thailand to fight the Thai boxers and hadn't lost." –Bruce Lee
@Sersons too true thats why i hated it when i saw in a magazine that the UFC(i think) said that over 90% of martial arts are actually useless. what a bunch of lies huh
its not the fight between champions that impresses; its the wimps and girls who show you how good a style is. How do they shape up. And the moves people pay to learn and spend hours training. what happens when their hit in the head. Do they suddenly start freestyling!!
@Sersons oh icic. well if u think about it, anything can be "deadly" or "illegal" there arnt rly any more deadly or effective arts. the rason mma fighters dont use illegal moves is..well cuz its illegal and they dont wanna kill each other every week and go to jail.
@Sersons how are they jack of all trades when most mma fighters are a master of at least one art before coming in. it combines all the effective arts and uses it in an actual fight. the Kung Fu used in war was mostly for weapons. at least mma has proven unlike most kung fu where its for show. i dont get why kung fu fanboys always bash on mma whenever i come to see the videos about these beautiful arts. i think traditional artists are sorta upset how mma has been proven, while theres has not.
@ganjislammer You also have to keep in mind that there's a lot of rules in MMA, from what I've seen, they usually don't tell much of them to the spectators. Watching stuff like Bully Beatdown has given me a little more respect for MMA, but I don't like the overall macho mentality that surrounds.
Also, when one truly thinks about it, the concept of Mixed Martial Arts has been around for centuries already.
Also, most traditional martial artists try to be pacifists.
@langying Yes there are rules so they dont have the fighters killing each other every week and ending up in jail for murder. However, the rules are very limited. the thing i like about it is that it's the real deal. Traditional arts like this are beautiful indeed, but most of the ppl have never even been in a real fight, and don't even know what it's like to get hit for real. There is just too much hype and myth around it.
whats to prove. some guys go 2 MA 2 learn how 2 fight. Others fighters join MA to be great. Its down to the individ. 2 say that KF is shit is a stupid statement. some of the most violent and best fighters I've ever known are KF practictioners. 2 say MMA is just for show...what are ya mate an idiot.

@ganjislammer a weapon is merely an extension of ur own body. so a weapon or an empty and is the same in the true martial way, I agree with sersons, MMA is a complete useless method of combat created only for ring fighting and for fighting under proteced and controled environments. Kung fu was created for battle when the objective is to survive and kill as fast as u can. MMA is a Show, so as a Kung fu fanboy as u may call me, I despise MMA the most. however MMA hasn't proven nothing but to b
@ganjislammer useless, I know what martial arts mean, with all the respect you don't my friend and you know why? just by the fact you meant to justify MMA's jacks of all trades by mentioning that there are some masters of particular martial art styles in MMA. There are no masters in MMA, there are only a bunch of rich guys who got black belts and such type of graduations. just beacuse u have a black belt 10 dan are u a Master? are you? a master never wants to b master, a master isn't chosen
@tranglomango I do know what martial arts means, because i happen to train in many. Your argument when i justified MMA's jack of all trades was completely useless. It really sounded like something a 5yr old would say about how rich ppl got their belts? a LOT of them actually master a single are before coming into MMA like i said. you're just another one of those who are riding on the kung fu hype train. once again, not tryinig to disrespect u but ur honestly making a fool of urself
by a belt. Ppl nowadys know nothing about martial ways because they live in front of a Tv and in a weak society where the rich and famous do what they want, MMA is like soccer in england, they cheer up for a bunch of sportsman where they r nothing more than ppl earning money winning a game they pros in, so my point is THERE IS NO COMPARISON BETWEEN KUNG FU AND MMA, kung fu is meant to develop sharp mind and body.
@tranglomango yea..ur the typical kung fu fanboy who actually believes in all the hype and fantasy. you say mma is for show, yet kung fu is known for the biggest business when it comes to showing off. I honestly dont think you have any idea what ur talking about lol. mma has proven to be useless? Isn't kung fu the art that got demolished when mma organizations started to first open up? and kung fu fanboys excuses are always "OH! its cuz that guy wasnt a ""true"" master" lols
What do you know about war? what do you know about survival? I also know nothing of those but at least I study kung fu and I was taught in simple ways to kill so what do a sport like MMA means to me? nothing absolutely nothing.
Pure and meaningless as it is, MMA is nothing but a sport and it will always be a sport, and you will most surely die on the streets if you intend to use MMA against ion bats in the hands of anyone.
@tranglomango I actually know quite about war, since I got back from Iraq about 3 months ago lol. You say how kung fu taught u simple ways to kill, i say its rly not that hard to kill some1 in the first place. MMA is a VERY effective combat system since it utilizes all the effective martial arts and has proven from time to time to come out on top. U call it meaningless, i call kung fu meaningless. btw, no disrespect to kung fu, but it wouldnt last in the streets against ion bats as well.
@ganjislammer No mate, kung fu wouldn't survive in the street against a bat, these techniques have only survived in life and death situations for thousands of years, haaaa....please..gimme a break. Excellent video of a guy who knows his stuff. Great.
@olmate1000 It depends what u mean by kung fu surviving in life and death situations. most ppl think its the kung fu u see in movies where the actors do their hand movements to disable an opponent. When in reality, the kung fu back in the day was more focused on how to use weapons. So obviously in battle they used weapons to kill opponents. Not some fancy punch to win a fight. Nonetheless, the video here is great.
@ganjislammer Kung fu was originally developed as an empty hand system, weapons came after, I just read a compilation by Grandmaster Doc Fai Wong regarding many encounters with street thugs in the Hong Kong region when he was young, including one against 6 opponents, 2 of which were armed, in which he prevailed with only minor injuries, my own teacher,Grandmaster Tien Sun Yiu also describes rooftop battles which resulted in death, to say that it only works with weapons is folly, peace out.
@olmate1000 But when people say "fighting on the battlefields" its obviously during wars, and great battles WITH weapons. The only thing i dont like about grandmasters is, as much as i respect most of them, you dont know whos telling the truth or not. There was always so much myth behind kung fu and never actual proof. Oh wells, to each its own i guess. cya
@ganjislammer Now come on mate!, The shaolin monks were given the lands for their temple by the emperor after their courageous efforts on his behalf against foreign invaders, with weapons, greatly outnumbered, this is historical fact, not legend. and to question the validity of the skills of men like Grandmasters Wong and Yiu demonstrates ignorance in the extreme,you wouldn't prevail against them even with a weapon.Do a little research first mate, or better yet, go to Grandmaster Wong's website.
@olmate1000 I think there is too much myth behind the "shaolin" monks. They arn't actually a group of monks who all do a certain fighting style. The monastary was a place where many different people came as they traveled. Like u said, if u do a little research u can see lol. I'm not saying any of them are bad though o.O but to say u cant beat some1 even with a weapon is just ignorant, like u said :O
@ganjislammer the monastry 'is' a place where many came together to learn and exchange and there 'are' many different contributors,so much for research lol. As for prevailing against the likes of Grandmasters Wong and Yiu with a weapon, you would be "sorely"(pardon the pun) dissapointed, iv'e had the honour of training with such men for almost 20 yrs, and have seen (not read about) first hand their skills, but hey, i'm just a lowly student, visit a school and ask for a "friendly spar",good luck!
@olmate1000 Thats exactly what I said about the shaolin temples. Talk about so much for research lol. Well like u said, if the weapon is a gun, then the other guy wont have a chane now will he? I've trained with many ppl who at least claim to be shaolin monks, and wasnt really impressed. The reading part was to do more research, i dont know y u make it sound as if reading about it is a bad thing~ Oh wells I'll get around to doing the "friend spar" one day~ good luck to u too~!
Now that's Kung-Fu(WuShu Arts) and that man is a highly skilled and gifted practitioner! Amazingly precise and intelligently crafted maneovers. My first time witnessing the art of Choy Li Fut.
You can't prove application of real world martial arts in a rule oriented competition. That is why you can't put traditional Ju Jitsu in the Olympics. Hell, even traditional Judo, Karate and Taekwondo were modified for the Olympics and other competitions.
I practice traditional Ju Jitsu and it is nothing like the crap they practice for MMA. MMA is a method of fighting which is nice for one on one but bad against multiple opponents(very common in REAL fights).
Everybody stop talkin shit, this dudes choy lay fut is good. Nobody gives a fuck about ufc. Besides until a kung fu guy goes in and wins in the ufc well never know how cma will do. Plus ufc won't allow kung fu any way for some damn reason so forget about it.
I watched this style of CMA practiced and performed beautifully at the Legends of Kung Fu World Tournament this past weekend and I was so impressed by it. It was a young woman named Candy who was displaying this style so beautifully in "True to Form Sparring" and she did so very well. I was fascinated so I looked it up. It's obviously very effective seeing as she won I believe either 1st or 2nd.
@ThePsychoguy, I agree that this kind of training will not prepare you for a competition. However it is as close as you can get to dealing with someone in real life. if these two men were to train full contact they would be walking out of training with permanent damage, or not walking out at all! training for a comp is different from training to defend and improve ones life. the rules in comps leak into the training and restricts you in reality. thanks :)
Same old crap: MMA here, UFC there, kung fu is bullshit...WTF???
1) martial art is "martial" because it was used, and proved, in battlefields through centuries. please stop considering SPORT, whom MAA is, as the ultimate survivor's fight or other crap. or will you tell me that a fuckin' ring is equal to a war battlefield?
@CrystalEye3 2) a good fighter is just a good fighter. and not all the "styles" work for everyone, and not all work in the same environment conditions. try to use grappling against 5 people at once, see what happens. or try to use taekwondo in a place you can't move your legs freely. that's why Bruce Lee said that he didn't believe in "styles" anymore.
3) MMA derives its techniques also from asian martial arts: thai, japanese and chinese. and jap and chinese derived from...kung fu. SURPRISE!
Jujitsu was invented by the samurai for battle. Furthermore,Jujitsu evolved to a "vale tudo" no holds barred system of self defense when it came to brazil that was fined tuned everyday for 65 years. The praticioners of Brazilian Jujitsu Challenged all comers regardless of kung fu, Karate, Taekwando, Boxing, Wing Chun, etc and they al ended up in the floor tapping, unconcious from being choked out, or a fracture. Brazillian Jujitsu vs Choy li fut = Submission tap out. BJJ wins.
@joel331974 No martial art can make u dodge bullets or crap like that, guaranteed, neither kung fu, nor bjj. If u think it, u didn't understand anything of ANY m. art. So, what's the point? A martial art is better than another? No. it's the fighter, not the art. But if u despise other martial arts (from whom YOURS derived) and think your BJJ makes u invincible, well, you don't have any sense of reality. To underestimate someone will get your ass kicked 99% of times. Good luck.
You're right, but I think it's a good idea to remember that while JJ was being "fine tuned", it was being fine-tuned in one direction: towards a 1:1 unarmed duel in a controlled environment. And under those conditions BJJ is clearly the best system out there. Under other conditions, BJJ might not be the best strategy.
@joel331974 The jujutsu that was developed by samurai is not the same jujutsu used in vale tudo. BJJ is derived from judo (mostly the ne-waza). Judo is a sport budo derived from some styles of Japanese jujutsu. BJJ and traditional jujutsu look almost nothing alike. For one thing, traditional jujutsu puts very little emphasis on groundwork, whereas that's almost the whole point of BJJ. At least learn the history of the art you're plugging.
This is choreographed. The special forces, FBI, Army Rangers, Navy Seals, and green Berets all use Gracie Combative Jujitsu. Everyone in the ufc have studied brazillian Jujitsu to be competitive. Choy li fut is a martial art, because it is like a dance. Brazilian Jujitsu is a self defense system because it is meant for real no holds barred combat and can safe your life in a real danger situation. Choy Li Fut or any kung fu won't make it in the UFC or against a stronger opponent.
I hate how comments get cut short. But to make a long story short I started with MMA and went to study traditional Chinese arts cause my personality didn't click that well with the egos of many MMA people. I love the fact that Kung fu has weapons, small joint manipulation, and pressure points which allot of the sport arts don't teach you. Also the fact that it's forms strengthen your body naturally and the fact that I will have an art I can study in to my old age and still maintain health are t
I can say Choy Lee Fut is a very effective style of martial art for the street. Its an art that was made for war and is my favorite art form to study. I have used it in two street situations and have came out on top of both situations (first against two attackers and the other against an opponent wielding a bottle) I don't understand why people have to try to bash on a system cause they think theirs is a better system. I have studied BJJ, shoot fighting, judo, Bagua, tai chi, and wing chun. B
@chineseboxer999 They'll probably pay you to lose,cause it'll make MMA look bad :( Its all about money & fame! UFC & WWE has loads of bloody fake shit,I'm pretty sure the fighters are tough,but they can make a fighter lose if thats what the people want to see! Its all money man.
@25Milimeter, that's true but its also what i hate and don't understand. These fighters claim that old martial arts is all fake and myths. That MMA is the only way. Its a sport! and like you said al about money. So maybe they should stop acting like they are the wong fei hung of 2011 (far from it) and start accepting MMA forwhat is it is. i just hope one day they get whats coming to em. kung fu has worked for thousands of years. on battle feilds for christ sake! what. all of a sudden its crap?
@chineseboxer999 With all due respect to the guys here, this won't prepare anyone for the UFC. These are clearly prearranged. You need real, full-contact, freestyle training to compete in events like MMA. Also, I didn't see any real ground fighting. Either brush up on your chin na on the ground or learn a submission fighting style.
@ThePsychoguy That was pretty ignorant. How about you make a video,against somebody who is skilled at Kung-Fu,and I want to see if you can even touch him,because you clearly don't seem to understand what Kung Fu is! UFC is a sport,and even some UFC fighters use traditional martial arts,similar to Kung Fu. Also,try to guard your vital points.
@TheNorthernWolf117 Your post was pretty ignorant. I never dissed kung fu as a fighting art anywhere in my post. I just responded to Cineseboxer's asking them to go to an MMA contest, saying that the kind of training in this video is insufficient for that kind of competition. And it is necessary to learn grappling on a high level for that kind of contest, which isn't in the video. Chineseboxer even agreed with me. And I'm a traditional kung fu guy, for what it's worth.
@ThePsychoguy I'm going to be more specific here. UFC is a fight with rules,so it's not as tough & deadly as street fighting,and some Chinese Boxers have KO-ED Jiu-Jutsu Practitioners! Kung-Fu cannot work in UFC,but on the streets,it'll work right away. I have a friend who fought his friend who was an MMA'er,and he just kicked him in the nuts & the MMA'er gave up! They may actually have fights like that,but you should check on liveleaks.
@TheNorthernWolf117 It depends on the fight. Sometimes it's a lot tougher than a lot of street fights. Kung Fu can work in MMA. Fighters on lower levels have used it successfully in bouts. Shawn Obasi is a pro MMA wing chun fighter, saying it can't work in that environment is just an excuse people give for their inability to make their art work in that environment. Again, I'm not arguing kung fu is bad, only that training shown in the video won't prepare a kung fu fighter for MMA.
@TheNorthernWolf117 My suggestion would be just to train really hard. Study the programs used by top-level full-contact fighters and adapt them to your kung fu (or whatever style you're using). And don't neglect shuai jiao and chin na training - it'll teach you grappling. Do lots of training geared towards full-contact sparring. Learn the self-defense non-sport aspects too, but realize most of that can be learned without much training. What style are you learning?
@TheNorthernWolf117 Kung Fu won't work in the UFC? What do you think those guys are doing? Show me one technique done in the UFC that isn't found in some Kung Fu system. Striking, throws, submissions are apparent in Kung Fu systems. Kung Fu is MMA. The problem is people don't understand the real applications to things so they assume that it won't work. The Kung Fu community has done the art a dis-service by keeping apps. hidden. MMA has no secrets, that is why it is thriving.
@Supercat40 I'm not talking about Sanda Kung Fu,or Jeet Kune Do,I was saying Traditional styles cannot be used there,unless combined with judo,or something..
@TheNorthernWolf117 shao chao (spelling?) is where judo comes from so you see pairing traditional kung fu with anything else is redundant because the techniques of judo are already found in kung fu systems. I understand what I think you are trying to say and you may be referring to modern day wushu, which I agree has no martial application. as for real deal traditional kung fu(san da, wing chun, long fist etc.), that stuff is deadly.
@chineseboxer999 Prove? What have you got to prove to those people? Let them believe what they want when they're talking, and make them believe what they see when it comes around.
i'm a wingchun artist, too. But u can't prove chinese boxing in UFC or MMA because they got too many rules.
My ShiXun is preparing for a MMA fight for year, because he has to learn the rules of MMA.
A good prove for chinese boxing is Sanda. A light weight sanda boxer can simply beat up a heavy weight U.S. Seal soldier. I know a seal and he was beaten up by a small chinese soldier really bad.
@MrKenmaru I don't believe that for one second for one good reason..SEALs aren't trained to "fight" they are trained to kill. Period. No tap outs or knockouts, but to kill by any means necessary. If you don't have any significant evidence I'm calling bullshit on you sir.
Those moves are illegal in MMA and can be pretty fatal. Hitting in the back of the head is also illegal in boxing and aiming for the necks. These are very effective moves but not in mma where there are rules.
@chineseboxer999 Well...some of the techniques you wouldn't be able to do (kicks to joints, some heel kicks) buuuut, I do believe there are basic principles of movement economics and fluidity that can be used in the ring.
@kalbasa1 agree, but what most people also don't get: all this UFC MMA stuff is also totally unrealistic. So it depends on what you want from your training, and in the end it really doenst matters.
If his outfit spread the red in other places, he'd look like Ermac from Mortal Kombat. The series had a lot of styles, but many were portrayed EXTREMELY poorly (especially baji quan, goju ryu, judo, and aikido).
Could someone tell me how effective this style is in the street (Yes I know it's about how hard you train not the style, all martial arts share 80% of techniques etc). I just want the straight dope: Choy Lee masters in the streets: Pro or Noob?
@qwertyuiop298 I'm a practitioner of CLF and I can assure you, this is the real deal. We condition hard, we train hard, and we perfect what we learn. I've done judo and Karate and this is unlike anything you can imagine. It will depend on your Sifu (instructor) though; some are more strict than others.
@LordShandor And what style do you practise? Like I said i've done Judo, Karate, and i didn't really feel the need to say it but Boxing as well. Of the four i have experiences of Choy lee fut is the most well rounded, efficient and effective that i have studied.
@LordShandor Less hate, more info. J6cb down there has a point of view, and so do you. Why don't you back it up, tell me a martial art or fighting system YOU think works pretty well?
@qwertyuiop298 If you want more information on it there are plenty of great videos on youtube and some pretty decent websites found if you enter Choy lee fut on google. This style has everything you could want in it: Kicks, punches, sweeps, groundwork, submissions, locks; you name it and its there. I might sound biased but I have just been blown away by the Choy lee fut system! Another point I should add is that I have a friends who practises jiujitsu... he's leaving it to join CLF.
that is not the real choy lee fut if u want to see real just watch the shaolin videos and i wish (only if u have a shool of this that u ara avaled by the lee kong hu asossiaton that has the only real dessendent of the creator of this stile
@blackdeathrodrigo i think you have no idea of the history of Kungfu... shaolin kungfu have nothing to do (at present) with choy ley fut. CLF is a "fusion" of the northern an southern school indeed also shaolin.
Read the comment if dafuki. Furthermore all people who practice kungfu (even less the style) have to stick together and stop discussing about bad or good kungfu-these categories doesnt exist. (I´m very sry, for my bad english.)
In the words of the immortal Bruce Lee, "Choy Li Fut is the most effective system that I've seen for fighting more than one person. It is one of the most difficult styles to attack and defend against. Choy Li Fut is the only style of kung fu that traveled to Thailand to fight the Thai boxers and hadn't lost." This video certainly validates Bruce's analysis of this deadly Shaolin art!!!
@dookieboy wing chun people always smack talking, this stuff isn't like the movies, what you gonna do if you see it? ask me to give you my hand so we can play patty cake?
People who never practiced martial arts telling everyone how they know that superiority comes from the MA one practices and not the personal skill of the person. A.k.a. armchairwarriors.
Does anyone remember when Mike Tyson in his soft voice one time said, "everybody's got a plan, until they get hit" ? Martial arts are good for developing speed and power to hit and counter, but if the technique is too difficult, things will simply degenerate to a brawl. That being said, most TKD, Tang Soo Do or Shotokan practitioners can do a lot of damage if they hit you.
@FondueLau because you all became art of war sanshou/sanda fanboys. it takes a longer time trying to master these, then normal kickboxing. when mastered it is more effective; also please shut the fuck up
for the very inexpert fighter ( the one on the left side of the video) don't use punch to attack but low kick or ashi barae and look your enemy falling down on the floor;
for the fighter on the right side: next time fight against someone more expert
Lots of excellent combinations. CLF is superb in mid and long range attacks/defense. Very effective in the ring or for practical self defense. I'll let Wing Chun wear the crown in close range fighting. In Hong Kong's Open Full Contact matches...CLF or Wing Chun takes #1 or #2 all the time.
@YoungCrs is a boxer willing to fight someone who kicks to the groin and knees, elbows, backhands, forearm strikes, tears the eyes and face, and punches to the neck?
Nothing agenst it, but I dout a legit boxer could be blocked like that by ONE hand at 1:17 xD You would have to be super fast to block a combination with one hand =P
@GuamKomudo That may be true, but are you trying to imply a boxer could beat a CLF practitioner? Many people forget that boxers don't kick, elbow, chop, etc.
@Jaygenius The style doesn't entriely matter in a fight it's the skill and natrual talent of the fighter if a boxer has experence fighting eastern martial arts like karate, or CLF he could beat the CLF fighter
@Tenshiyami13 True, but you're proving my original point (sorry if it was hard to understand) that just being a boxer doesn't mean you can beat a CLF practitioner and vice versa.

@ganjislammer a weapon is merely an extension of ur own body. so a weapon or an empty and is the same in the true martial way, I agree with sersons, MMA is a complete useless method of combat created only for ring fighting and for fighting under proteced and controled environments. Kung fu was created for battle when the objective is to survive and kill as fast as u can. MMA is a Show, so as a Kung fu fanboy as u may call me, I despise MMA the most. however MMA hasn't proven nothing but to b

@ganjislammer useless, I know what martial arts mean, with all the respect you don't my friend and you know why? just by the fact you meant to justify MMA's jacks of all trades by mentioning that there are some masters of particular martial art styles in MMA. There are no masters in MMA, there are only a bunch of rich guys who got black belts and such type of graduations. just beacuse u have a black belt 10 dan are u a Master? are you? a master never wants to b master, a master isn't chosen

@tranglomango I do know what martial arts means, because i happen to train in many. Your argument when i justified MMA's jack of all trades was completely useless. It really sounded like something a 5yr old would say about how rich ppl got their belts? a LOT of them actually master a single are before coming into MMA like i said. you're just another one of those who are riding on the kung fu hype train. once again, not tryinig to disrespect u but ur honestly making a fool of urself

Ppl nowadys know nothing about martial ways because they live in front of a Tv and in a weak society where the rich and famous do what they want, MMA is like soccer in england, they cheer up for a bunch of sportsman where they r nothing more than ppl earning money winning a game they pros in, so my point is THERE IS NO COMPARISON BETWEEN KUNG FU AND MMA, kung fu is meant to develop sharp mind and body.

What do you know about war? what do you know about survival? I also know nothing of those but at least I study kung fu and I was taught in simple ways to kill so what do a sport like MMA means to me? nothing absolutely nothing.
Pure and meaningless as it is, MMA is nothing but a sport and it will always be a sport, and you will most surely die on the streets if you intend to use MMA against ion bats in the hands of anyone.

@tranglomango I actually know quite about war, since I got back from Iraq about 3 months ago lol. You say how kung fu taught u simple ways to kill, i say its rly not that hard to kill some1 in the first place. MMA is a VERY effective combat system since it utilizes all the effective martial arts and has proven from time to time to come out on top. U call it meaningless, i call kung fu meaningless. btw, no disrespect to kung fu, but it wouldnt last in the streets against ion bats as well.

olmate1000 1 month ago
@olmate1000 It depends what u mean by kung fu surviving in life and death situations. most ppl think its the kung fu u see in movies where the actors do their hand movements to disable an opponent. When in reality, the kung fu back in the day was more focused on how to use weapons. So obviously in battle they used weapons to kill opponents. Not some fancy punch to win a fight. Nonetheless, the video here is great.

@ganjislammer Kung fu was originally developed as an empty hand system, weapons came after, I just read a compilation by Grandmaster Doc Fai Wong regarding many encounters with street thugs in the Hong Kong region when he was young, including one against 6 opponents, 2 of which were armed, in which he prevailed with only minor injuries, my own teacher,Grandmaster Tien Sun Yiu also describes rooftop battles which resulted in death, to say that it only works with weapons is folly, peace out.

@olmate1000 But when people say "fighting on the battlefields" its obviously during wars, and great battles WITH weapons.

Oh wells, to each its own i guess. cya

@ganjislammer Now come on mate!, The shaolin monks were given the lands for their temple by the emperor after their courageous efforts on his behalf against foreign invaders, with weapons, greatly outnumbered, this is historical fact, not legend. and to question the validity of the skills of men like Grandmasters Wong and Yiu demonstrates ignorance in the extreme,you wouldn't prevail against them even with a weapon.Do a little research first mate, or better yet, go to Grandmaster Wong's website.

You can't prove application of real world martial arts in a rule oriented competition. That is why you can't put traditional Ju Jitsu in the Olympics. Hell, even traditional Judo, Karate and Taekwondo were modified for the Olympics and other competitions.
I practice traditional Ju Jitsu and it is nothing like the crap they practice for MMA. MMA is a method of fighting which is nice for one on one but bad against multiple opponents(very common in REAL fights).

3) MMA derives its techniques also from asian martial arts: thai, japanese and chinese. and jap and chinese derived from...kung fu. SURPRISE!

Jujitsu was invented by the samurai for battle. Furthermore,Jujitsu evolved to a "vale tudo" no holds barred system of self defense when it came to brazil that was fined tuned everyday for 65 years. The praticioners of Brazilian Jujitsu Challenged all comers regardless of kung fu, Karate, Taekwando, Boxing, Wing Chun, etc and they al ended up in the floor tapping, unconcious from being choked out, or a fracture. Brazillian Jujitsu vs Choy li fut = Submission tap out. BJJ wins.

You're right, but I think it's a good idea to remember that while JJ was being "fine tuned", it was being fine-tuned in one direction: towards a 1:1 unarmed duel in a controlled environment. And under those conditions BJJ is clearly the best system out there. Under other conditions, BJJ might not be the best strategy.
TwoGunGunnar 9 months ago
@joel331974 The jujutsu that was developed by samurai is not the same jujutsu used in vale tudo. BJJ is derived from judo (mostly the ne-waza). Judo is a sport budo derived from some styles of Japanese jujutsu. BJJ and traditional jujutsu look almost nothing alike. For one thing, traditional jujutsu puts very little emphasis on groundwork, whereas that's almost the whole point of BJJ. At least learn the history of the art you're plugging.

This is choreographed. The special forces, FBI, Army Rangers, Navy Seals, and green Berets all use Gracie Combative Jujitsu. Everyone in the ufc have studied brazillian Jujitsu to be competitive. Choy li fut is a martial art, because it is like a dance. Brazilian Jujitsu is a self defense system because it is meant for real no holds barred combat and can safe your life in a real danger situation.

@ThePsychoguy I'm going to be more specific here. UFC is a fight with rules,so it's not as tough & deadly as street fighting,and some Chinese Boxers have KO-ED Jiu-Jutsu Practitioners! Kung-Fu cannot work in UFC,but on the streets,it'll work right away. I have a friend who fought his friend who was an MMA'er,and he just kicked him in the nuts & the MMA'er gave up! They may actually have fights like that,but you should check on liveleaks.
TheNorthernWolf117 7 months ago
@TheNorthernWolf117 It depends on the fight. Sometimes it's a lot tougher than a lot of street fights. Kung Fu can work in MMA. Fighters on lower levels have used it successfully in bouts. Shawn Obasi is a pro MMA wing chun fighter, saying it can't work in that environment is just an excuse people give for their inability to make their art work in that environment. Again, I'm not arguing kung fu is bad, only that training shown in the video won't prepare a kung fu fighter for MMA.

TheNorthernWolf117 7 months ago
@TheNorthernWolf117 My suggestion would be just to train really hard. Study the programs used by top-level full-contact fighters and adapt them to your kung fu (or whatever style you're using). And don't neglect shuai jiao and chin na training - it'll teach you grappling. Do lots of training geared towards full-contact sparring. Learn the self-defense non-sport aspects too, but realize most of that can be learned without much training. What style are you learning?

Striking, throws, submissions are apparent in Kung Fu systems. Kung Fu is MMA. The problem is people don't understand the real applications to things so they assume that it won't work. The Kung Fu community has done the art a dis-service by keeping apps. hidden. MMA has no secrets, that is why it is thriving.

In the words of the immortal Bruce Lee, "Choy Li Fut is the most effective system that I've seen for fighting more than one person. It is one of the most difficult styles to attack and defend against. Choy Li Fut is the only style of kung fu that traveled to Thailand to fight the Thai boxers and hadn't lost." This video certainly validates Bruce's analysis of this deadly Shaolin art!!!

Does anyone remember when Mike Tyson in his soft voice one time said, "everybody's got a plan, until they get hit" ? Martial arts are good for developing speed and power to hit and counter, but if the technique is too difficult, things will simply degenerate to a brawl. That being said, most TKD, Tang Soo Do or Shotokan practitioners can do a lot of damage if they hit you.

@FondueLau because you all became art of war sanshou/sanda fanboys. it takes a longer time trying to master these, then normal kickboxing. when mastered it is more effective; also please shut the fuck up

id like to see this in a real life too. Choy Li Fut is hard to find because there are very few real masters of the form like Ark Wong (R.I.P.)

how to learn the movement of 0:30??
JAKE140996 1 year ago
for the very inexpert fighter ( the one on the left side of the video) don't use punch to attack but low kick or ashi barae and look your enemy falling down on the floor;
for the fighter on the right side: next time fight against someone more expert

Lots of excellent combinations. CLF is superb in mid and long range attacks/defense. Very effective in the ring or for practical self defense. I'll let Wing Chun wear the crown in close range fighting. In Hong Kong's Open Full Contact matches...CLF or Wing Chun takes #1 or #2 all the time.

@YoungCrs is a boxer willing to fight someone who kicks to the groin and knees, elbows, backhands, forearm strikes, tears the eyes and face, and punches to the neck?

Nothing agenst it, but I dout a legit boxer could be blocked like that by ONE hand at 1:17 xD You would have to be super fast to block a combination with one hand =P

@GuamKomudo That may be true, but are you trying to imply a boxer could beat a CLF practitioner? Many people forget that boxers don't kick, elbow, chop, etc.

@Jaygenius The style doesn't entriely matter in a fight it's the skill and natrual talent of the fighter if a boxer has experence fighting eastern martial arts like karate, or CLF he could beat the CLF fighter

@Tenshiyami13 True, but you're proving my original point (sorry if it was hard to understand) that just being a boxer doesn't mean you can beat a CLF practitioner and vice versa.
