An Outer Banks Fight - Morrison Butler VS Old School Kung Fu Master

[frontstance]

the older guy seemed so inexperienced when in the standing clinch and even moreso on the ground. this type of victory is poor. I know that in a ring if you're fighting then fight to win but it should have been realised by all that the fight was over long time ago. I was shocked to hear the corner saying use elbows. he was already beat.

[seetoh87]

oh please morrison butler, fight a old man somemore. so sad. 

[bauble3823]

este si que es un maestro kung fu .....Ehsan Shafiq !

[bauble3823]

el kung fu... en el mundo actual fue superada por los estilo de lucha mista.....pero en el fondo no existe un estilo mejor que otro...existe solo un luchador mejor de otro.

[JO3JITSU]

WTF is this? I've been doing BJJ since 1995. If you know you have control of the fight against an old teacher, You should still have respect! Allot of challenge matches was back in the day and if you watch....there was still allot of respect for the elders. Thats a cheap shot he did with his fists closed. None of our MMA gyms here in vegas would do that. Robert Drsdale's gym, Xtreme Couture, Cobra Kai, Etc...NONE OF THEM!

[CHUCKYCASPER]

@JO3JITSU i agree + not beeing funny this guy was acting like hed won the championship i might dojo storm this place and take care of some business hahaha

[dmxbull1]

@JO3JITSU

I really respect all those schools I did not even want to fight. anyway the guys had 100 pounds on me. He (kung fu guy) ask for a NO rules no time limit format. Any way it was a long time ago and no hard feeling. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[Octane64]

Kung Fu is good for self defense against untrained opponents, lousy for fighting experienced fighters

[adriansaldana]

pwnd.....

[MrWilliebeamen]

Lol, good job beating up an old man.

[KnoccENT]

the bald guy should feel very proud for beating an old fat guy (sarcasm) what a douche...even if the old guy challenged him he is still a douche bag

[johnnyb1917]

It was probably some drunk guy whos never done shit

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

did he beat up an old man like realy ?

[PipRocks666]

BRUTAL!!

[killahkilldevilhillz]

kung fu seems uslees

[JimKelly47]

The over weight Kung fu guy never got any punches or kicks off. he didn't look like a Martial Artist at all. Over weight out of shape, Hands down, Wasn't even much of a Challenge. Just another Kung Fu Master thinking his Stuff will work without testing it. The MMA guy was in Great shape.

[fireyhope]

this fatty is not a kung fu master.

[jusdia94]

MMA is a piece of shit. No art at all. so what if a huge ass guy can jump on someone and beat the shit out of them. I'm sure a real kung fu master would destroy this man

[amritaherbs]

@jusdia94 if you want art got to the museum. Step into an MMA school and see if your "art" stands up.

A fight is a fight, not a sculpture or painting to be admired. It's hurt and destroy your opponent as quickly as possible and minimze the damage you would take.

That's why MMA always wins ;)

[jusdia94]

@jusdia94 you are fucking stupid

[hostboy7]

Okay, for one his fighting style doesn't call for his hands to be held up. Two he was trying to block morrison's kicks, if his hands are up he can't block retard. Three Bak Mei doesn't require ground work.

[gwynplane723]

How the fuck can this be a represenation of Kung Fu? That fat oaf just stomped around and didn't even keep his hands up.

MMA guys always show videos of crappy kung fu fighters fighting seasoned MMA practitioners

[amritaherbs]

@gwynplane723 Comments like this make me think that everyone thinks that old school Kung Fu fighters fought like Jet Li in his movies. Those are movies! I can garuntee NOT ONE of the greatest Kung Fu fighters in History could ever fight as they represent in the films and they would get their asses kicked in this modern day.

Why do people equate the modern fighting form with de-evolution? They cut out the forms and shit that don't work and use only what is practical. hence, more effective

[gwynplane723]

@amritaherbs

Well, you're making incredible assumptions about what I think fighting should look like if you think I'm basing it on highly choreographed Kung Fu flicks. I mean, if you want to think that then that's fine.

I'm not saying he should be doing shadow kicks and shooting out fire balls but he should have atleast enough mobility to manuveur better than he did.

[gwynplane723]

@amritaherbs

He's just an example of how traditional martial artists don't use the right training routines which leaves them at a disadvantage when fighting against MMA guys. I never said MMA guys can't fight but I'm just saying that shitty practitioners and bad training gives traditional Martial ARts a bad name.

[gwynplane723]

@gwynplane723

And as such, while Traditional Martial Arts have glaring weaknesses that MMA has consistently pointed out, MMA isn't the ultimate cure-all; it's just managed to make use of what's useful and not be so caught up in tradition in order to be progressive. I just think the fat guy is a shitty interpretation of Kung Fu based on what I've PERSONALLY experienced and not from some Shaw's Brother flick. I'd like to think I'm smarter than that.

[amritaherbs]

Here's a young Royce Gracie (before UFC was even created) mopping the floor with this Kung Fu master (who is in shape btw)

This vid is over 20 years old.

When Royce Gracie fought Matt Hughes like 5 years back, Royce Gracie got owned like he'd never even seen an armbar before.

Matt Hughes is barely a contender these days.

Hopefully that helps to put things in perspective

/watch?v=lMIob7iI4Uk

[karlwhubbard]

The premise of this fight was to settle the issue whether or not ground skills are a necessary part of MMA, Neither fighter really settled the issue, because the ground game appeared as if two drunks fell to the floor trying to hold each other up. Morrisson won because of blows to the face, not because of ground skills. Except for a few introductory kicks and a counter slap, this looked no different than my school yard fights when I was in second grade. KU, this does not promote your school.

[Makino36]

this is not to disrespect Kung Fu. It definitely has its good points. One lets face it, this kung fu instructor didn't know how to fight. Second of even if he did and was in shape, he had no ground game. Almost every modern special forces are well in tune with how important ground fighting is. I think the importance of wrestling and BJJ has already reached the public. In terms of mainstream availability, Martial arts really has evolved more in 5 years than the last 200.

[amritaherbs]

@Makino36 Finally someone else who is in the know ;)

[futuremidwtchamp07]

the neo nazi sure cant box all he had to do was through a over hand right and would have dropped that old man. and what a miss match. old fat over wieght asiain against a young in shape white dude

[robertinho102]

that mma fighter is fucking bitch ,,,stand up and fight ,,or you fucking coward

[thelabfitness]

@robertinho102

Nice grammar.  mb?

[Galimah]

Hmm this kung fu guy looks like a senior. He should have learned some secret tequinices to didable the mma guy. In a real fight a kung fu man is a living weapon

[isukatlax]

of courseits the total fatty with horrible shape. good shape also helps make the fighter too! ugh we need to get like a shaolin monk in the ring one day no joke they are THE BEST masters of kung fu in the world and if they lose thenthats another story

[osgoody11]

idk any type of any martial art that teaches you to walk withyour hands at the side and fight with no guard, right there you can call shenanigans on the dude

[oopalonga]

what's up Morrison!? thx for stopping by easton bjj--enjoyed working with yah! (nice fight btw. haha!)

nick

[keithmc1975]

I have to admit this was a pretty sad matchup. But I don't know if I would call that guy a Kung Fu master, even if he calls himself a kung fu master. But I see this being the greatest MMA promo video either. MMA is the lowest form of Martial Art I don't think A real Master would really want to waste his time with MMA fighters. And the martial artists in the MMA vs videos are usually some newbie with a big mouth who deserves to get his ass kicked.

[Five5six]

Martial arts are fighting. The art is in the performance. If you can't perform (fight) you are not an artist.

Without the fighting component, Martial arts are just dance.

[keithmc1975]

@Five5six I do not disagree at all. You are absolutely right. But that guy is no master. He's overweight and for some reason decided to fight in his street clothes. Anybody watching this video will know instantly this guyy is not a master of anything. this video should be totled 'adrenalin fueled meathead beats up deluded old man'. because that all I see going on here. I don't know why it took so long to do the job though; the guys hands are not even up.

[Five5six]

It's called mercy.

[keithmc1975]

Oh please..if they wanted to be merciful than would of shown him the door instead of bringing him into the ring. But they didn't, and not only that they taped it and put it on youtube. That's doesn't sound like mercy to me.

[Five5six]

Looked like mercy to me, I've been in the same situation many time. Why sit there and crush them instantly GNP when you can just embarrass them.

[keithmc1975]

Whatever you say. I think everyone involved in this video should be embarassed.

[sgtjonesiniraq]

The guy walked into his school during prime hours and wouldn't leave until they fought. That's the only reason the fight happened. Morrison is no spring chicken by the way.

[jeffduce55]

On youtube alone you can fight 20+ vids of Kung Fu vs BJJ or MMA with the Kung Fu fighter losing in less than 1 min....this guy actually lasted pretty long!

I have over 1000 hours of NHB and Vale Tudo no rules fights and i think out of 200+ fights i have only seen a Kung Fu fighter win once against a BJJ/MMA fighter but the Aikido and Hapkido fighter do even worst.....

Funny how no mather how much proof you have on something....you will always find people to beleive in Bullshit!

[Five5six]

True speaks.

[baeshin]

@jeffduce55 thing is,was this guy really a kung fu master ? i doubt it. not saying kung fu is better than mma ....just saying im seriously doubting the guy is a kung fu master as they try and claim. probably just an old guy with a background in kung fu that opened a school to teach little and get paid.

[sgtjonesiniraq]

Morrison was just up at our academy this weekend. He's such a nice guy. This guy was both stupid and an asshole to come into his gym and issue a challenge like that. He got what he deserved.

[MasterZhang]

OK, seriously, people, just because "Shuai Jiao" translates into wrestling does NOT make it the same thing. By "wrestling", most of us mean the kind where the goal is to get a submission, not the Chinese kind where the goal is to make the other guy fall.

Regarding the vid...I think it's funny how you can immediately tell who the MMAer is and who the Kung Fu guy is - the MMAer is the only one who actually puts up his hands.

[TenTigers]

blindfist-I can tell by your response, you're about fifteen. Here's some advice from someone who's been in the game for over thirty years-read a book, do a search. you obviously can read and work a computer. There is alot of info out there on Shuai-Jiao and Chinese grappling. Get some knowledge under your belt before you start voicing your opinions.

[tekniclick1]

Haha, buttler knew he had it to, lol

[GooseHinson]

He let him off easy. The fat kung fu instructor was lucky he didn't end up dragged to the back alley unconscious and bleeding like the Bobby Joe Blythe video.

[BigEck]

Awesome story behind this one.

I was just in the Outer Banks last week of August '09. I wish I knew about this gym, I would've liked to come train. I'll hit you guys up about training for a week next time I vacation down there.

[MrJaxCD]

I personally know Morrison and he is a good guy who wont hurt anyone on purpose... so when i watched the video, i was like wtf... then when i read the story... "ohhhh, i see". Good work brother!

[januszp]

story doesnt matter. i dont beat people on the street, but dont need any stories to have some sparring on the ring

[jmd161]

So called kung fu master was classless for his challenge and actions leading up to this crap. The people behind this are just as classless with them telling the fighter not to go for any submissions. If you wanted to prove your point do so with superior ground skills...This just shows someone beating on a clueless loudmouth.

[gamedog32]

first rule of fighting = hands up chin down or you be knock to fuck out before you hit the ground !

[TenTigers]

Blindfist-before you reply, you should first read the responses. That way you can follow the converstaions rather than just going off. My reponse was to Sifu Frank, referring to the fact that there are KF schools that are bringing in these skills. Some have done what every other MMA school has done-sought out BJJ,Judo,Shuai-Jiao and other grappling people. This is no different than any MMA school.

BTW-some schools of Seut-Gohk (Shuai-Jiao) have groundfighting.

[dodderby]

kf master BEGGED morey to fight;even kinda threatened him...morey tried to get outta it-everyone in martial arts got opinions on who will win-one sure way to find out!props to both for findin out for us!lol

[zogshill]

why is that fighter beating up an old out of shape guy that dosent know how to fight?

[flimbabulous]

Because that's how you prove your worth, nowadays. By finding an old man and promptly beating the shit out of him

[BerserkerHawk]

Or you shoot your mouth without knowing the story. MMA fighter gave friendly advice about submissions to KUNG FU FAT SIFU's student who was losing match. Kung Fu sifu got mad and challenged MMA fighter saying grappling was worthless. He proved his worth and point.

[itsgaythatyourgay]

lol do you even know the story behind this?

[flimbabulous]

The message board that linked to this said that the old guy claimed grappling wasn't necessary in MMA or something and so challenged this guy to a fight to prove his point. Still, though... dude was going a little overboard in my opinion when he was pounding the shit out of his face at the end.

[itsgaythatyourgay]

That's what I thought too until I saw the video where he challenged the guy. He's a completely belligerent dickhead who got a sobering reminder to not lose his place in the big picture.

[twistedatl]

Fool, if u knew morrsion you would no the truth!

[Cassin123]

He was dumb 3weeks earlier -- speaking without thinking, just like you were dumb asking when the story is linked in the video description.

[rok30]

make more

[alexbryant24]

Dam right thats my homie Morrison dont do it to him!! Kinda looked like me lol

[TenTigers]

I agree with Sifu Frank-most KF schools have already started to include a ground game into their syllabus, after all, KF has always been a mixed Martial Art.. Those that do not do this will simply fall by the wayside, which is as it should be. Too many "Fantasy Island" teachers destroying the art.

[DrunkenMaster209]

Just have to hope that the person teaching the ground game knows what the fuck he's doing.

[Blndrfist]

Since when did bullfu ever include a "ground game"? That is pure horseshit.

[chubbs2go]

Always. Shuai Jiao. jiu jitsu and judo are derived from gong fu.

[Blndrfist]

What? Says who? What evidence do you have of that? Answer: none. Wrestling and kung fuewy have never been incorporated. You can see an example of that quite clearly here. You're a fool.

[mariat73]

chubbs2go is right. Some styles of kung Fu do have wrestling. just do a web search Mr. Blndrfist. Your the fool.

[Lordasia]

Wow it seems that KF masters seem to be great a pulling mount. There is another video on youtube with a KF master vs a MMA guy in a street fight and he basicly does the same thing. Pulls mount then gets face pound.

[comicosp]

Agree 100% that these guys only talk trash of MMA because it really kills their income. It would've been cool to see Morrison get him on an arm bar or choked.

[Maddragonfly]

Poor old dude, you didn't have to beat him up that bad. Should have just arm barred him.

[gijoe6186]

Awesome job, these TMA guys are always the more disrespectful group, almost always because they know deep down that MMA threatens their income. We have a similar douchebag like that near us but when we showed up for the fight he called the cops and claimed we were trying to break in the school.

Props for beating the shit outa him.

[sifufrank]

I am a TMA guy, and see the importance of MMA. Not all of us are like the fool in the video, and not all of KUNG FU guys are hokey ass wannabe's. it's a shame on TCMA when guys like that get that ass whooped. HE JUST SUCKED!!!!

[Mulisha01]

shouldent of took that long ... 1 chuck lidell style overhand and put the old cunt down.. you the point across tho i feel

[ThomasViolence]

The younger kid with the bald head in that video is a facking twat.

Was it really necessary to hit an OLD man with the 3 extra shots once he was KO'd?

Pussyole.

[Five5six]

Absolutely. You keep fighting until the fight is stopped. Also, when someone come to your school and challenges you, you give them something to remember.

There is no stoppage on the street.

[comicosp]

too bad the guy wanted a street fight. He'd've at least lasted a bit more with gloves on.

[gamedog32]

good work! i wish you woulda use the gloves and showed him some boxing too ! never the less he got what he wanted. Kids dont never let nobody tell you that you dont need the ground game in mma , who ever tells you that is very ignorant and it will get u hurt !

[neoryu25]

Yeah, Morrison representing KU, awesome >:)

[fakirone]

The best ever.
