Jason Yee Kung Fu, Wu Shu & Middleweight Sanda Kickboxing

[omegaice8]

Most Kung fu is crap but Sanda/Chinese Kickboxing is the truth very good combat system.

I use to doubt wushu as a effective "combat" art. But recently i started training with a master who does wushu and sanda. Kind of opened my eyes a little.

[dss103]

@fredocorleone47 yeah sanda gives kung fu that modern taste everyone likes. just look at cung le, hes the sh!t

Lol at 0:19+. Al is holding the Thai pads "JKD style" ie: Backwards!

Its gna be hard finding footage from the 70s of a then-non-celebrity Jet Li.Picture this,he was so good,pres.Nixon asked him to be his body guard after an exibition...And Jet Li turned him down...Thats how good.its really hard to find recordings of Chuck,van Damme,Li,Ruthrock....not because they aint there,but because of the times in which they fought...

[shuriken86]

wow so jet li did full contact fighting huh?

[shuriken86]

so how do you know he has really done sanshou/sanda? do you know of a site o documentary that actually says that?

[ngaiflex]

Go wikipedia it or google for his site...i swear therz lotsa info on him and his teen wushu days....

[shuriken86]

holy crap so jason yee is a real fighter too?!

its too bad jet li or jackie chan weren't, ppl would probably respect them more..

[SoundwaveSuperior373]

ppl dun practice martial arts so they can go on an ego trip to prove how bad ass they r ppl practice 4 self defense

[shuriken86]

well i dunno aboutusing facy wushu forms to defend themselves but i know what you mean, and i forget to keep in mind that martial arts isnt just about the fight its also about the art and its beauty. i always wonder though how jet li or jackie would fair in a sparring match.

[ngaiflex]

Dude, jet Li is a wushu champion gold medalist.Look it up.Google it.He was since he was a kid.He's really good.Like REALLY......good.Actually of the really famous people in movies,the only one i havent heard a real record from as yet is jackie chan.otherwise van damme,jet li,chuck norris,billy blanks,cynthia ruthrock,...all have real records, that are actually quite impressive.Most especially Jet Li and Chuck.Jet Li is absolutely for real....

[shuriken86]

ok so your positive that Jet Li did full contact sanda/wushu kickboxing? and he was good?

[ngaiflex]

Yup...hez like crazy good.Like winning-gold-medal-in-china-in­-his-early-teens good....he quit when he was 17. Has a brilliant Long-fist record and amazing prowess in broadsword...

[shuriken86]

how do you know, any recorded info, footage anything on him?

[ngaiflex]

Sorry you'll have to find some written material like what's available on Bruce,OUTSIDE of movies.

[ultradevon04]

jet lee only practiced the form version of wushu. He never did sanda/sanshou, also most people know he was a chapion at long fist and broadsword. That has nothing to do with sanda though. Not saying he can't fight but thats not what he focused on in his training

[ultradevon04]

i'll answer that for you.. . . . Jet lee practiced wushu. . . (the pretty version) not sanda/sanshou. So no he didn't do kickboxing but i'm sure he could have, just like anybody who has the physical ability to do all that crazy wushu stuff. I practice wushu and kickingboxing, and i must say that wushu gives you some good tools to work with. You just have to practice using them in a combat manner.

[shuriken86]

yea lol that was too good to be tru that he did Sanshou, but ur sayng that wushu has good combat techniques?

[ultradevon04]

Not exactly, it has some but they must be modified to be applied to combat. What I really meant was that wushu gives you great physical abilities which can be applied to combat. It helps develop speed, agility, and flexibility all of which are useful to any fighter. But there are others ways of gaining those attributes so wushu is not really necessary for fighting but its a good form of cross training.

[shuriken86]

hmm thats true but any art can give you that.

[mthai66]

I miss that school.

[jkdkidisbk]

he's cool.
