I know nothing of fighting, because I never been in a fight a day in my life. But I do like too watch it. I can only see this style as an distraction, to confuse someone. Maybe mix in some jeet kune do or taekwondo to make it count.
Where I'm from, the way people fight is literary laughable. I find myself amused when someone fights down here. So when they see someone falling all over the place they'd be like "wtf" the whole time that it would actually work.
How could you dislike this? Even if you don't think it works, it's still pretty cool. It took this guy a lot of time to learn this and try to master it. Show some respect. :/
@DaddyMcFatherton Unfortunately, a common misconception is the idea that Zui Quan (Drunken Fist) is actually supposed to be done drunk. The idea is not to be drunk, so that you can always retain your balance.
@MindenLunatic I've learned a few basics, but my sifu won't let us really learn until we're 21 and have been drunk. He says you just can't get how to be loose and limber like that without getting completely smashed at some point. I know what I'm doing in 2 years, 2 months, and 8 days.
@bloodsoldierZ ...lets say you push this guy to the ground ...I think that would be a big mistake since this whole fighting style is designed around balance
@parkourjames99 Lol... wushu... another set of useless acrobatics.... how does one prove anything by fighting wushu. Even the chinese government ponders at the decline of chinese martial arts and how weak it has become. Fail troll is fail, blocked
@parkourjames99 Did you even watch the video? There is not one but three drunken master practitioners. Obviously they did not match amateur drunken boxing practitioners against karate black belts. They took 3 experts in the both field and made them fight against each other. Also that is the worst analogy I have heard in my life. Seriously think before you state something.
WoW I cant believe both thumbs up are people who think 'kung fu' is strong LMAO watch this video /watch?v=ihvzEvLkjsc&feature=player_embedded where drunken boxing gets crushed
@devilledevil98 Well, they are strengthened by watching UFC. They magically pick up years of martial training through watching years of TV. They also cross train by watching WWE.
@buddy2000529 Watching WWE wrestling teaches you about as much about real fighting as an episode of DBZ.
Don't get me wrong; I respect them for their athletic ability and their dedication to their craft. However, they're called 'sports ENTERTAINMENT' for a reason.
@devilledevil98 Depends on what you mean by 'fight'. If you mean sparring, then that is justified. But if you mean an actual brawl, just know that even a martial artist like Jet Li has never been in a real fight before, nor does he want to, because martial arts isn't about fighting, but more about self-defense, and the joy of the sport
I really hope no one actually thinks this is a suitable martial art for realistic application. Also to the comments who recieved thumbs up, martial arts (art of war) are intended for combat by definition.
@talon115 its not bullshit, it just depends on the person's expertise in the art. also, some styles just don't work well against other styles. Finally, I think some styles exist better merely as an artform, as the only drunken boxing I could see working out exceptionally well is the kind done by someone who's mastered it completely.
@talon115 That was a fight between two STUDENTS. I'm not saying Drunken Boxing is better than Kyokushin Karate, but seriously, that was 1 fight. Pinkypromise was spot on too.
I'll like to use this fighting style against my friend's boxing which he used strength against me...someone flexibiity can easily outwit your opponent attacks. So you're basically wild and unpredictability thinking your opponent having the chance to win but fail =)
I can't find a single video of drunken style being effective as a martial art. If someone could disprove my impression that this is really interpretive dance please respond
style would put the opponent beaten into defeat with broken bones. this style teaches how to confuse your opponent and then kill them any means how in order to achieve victory
Flexibility - you can easily avoid / deflect your opponents attack, you can fight on your feet or on the floor... Unpredictability - confusing your opponent of your next move... And yes it is very effective, I believe you. Now where can I take lessons?! Been wanting to learn this since I saw Legend of the Drunken Master. haha
i am a student of drunken boxing, to any out there that thinks this style is weak in real fights you are dead wrong. this style is all about misleading your opponent into opening themselves up for pain. unlike other styles, this style has almost no rules to where you strike on the body. i have fought and defeated bjj and muay tai fighters. this style is deadly, you are tought to strike areas like knee caps, biceps, throat, and even groan. in a real fight there are no rules, in a real fight this
im trying to learn this so bad im very good with martial arts and very quick and fast and i dont know why butthis style so amazing and gourgestand brillent i wanna learn t very bad
Hmm I'll have the drunken boxing without the boxing. Ya!!! lol, I love this fighting style. Its so crazy. Always used that old drunken boxer guy in Dead or Alive 3!
It takes many many years to master this. It's not for everyone because you need to be very athletic in the first place. The key is deception, balance, a good core, and strong wrists.
I would not mind learning this, I myself am a martial artist and must say that of all main martial styles, kung fu, is the most beautiful and versatile.
Awesome...it was told to me by a Kung-fu Sifu, the difference between Kung-fu and Karate. Karate teaches self-defense...Kung-fu teaches how to kick ass!
Another reason you don't see the more exotic fighting styles doing well in organized tournament fighting is that they were not intended for organized tournament fighting. They were intended to kill and opponent and keep you from being killed in return.
I see the argument made against styles like this so much because of their poor showing in stuff like UFC, but I think those complaints (sometimes) miss the point.
@EmperorofCartoons But if you can't beat a boxer in the ring with 'drunken monkey kung fu...what makes you think that you would be able to "kill" a drugged up street thug? Your arguement doesn't hold up.
@EmperorofCartoons muay thai was meant for killing... but it is used in MMA i wonder why... karate also gets used sometimes. /watch?v=ihvzEvLkjsc&feature=player_embedded kung fu is just a joke if you think otherwise /watch?v=cVNOU8gzOWs&feature=player_embedded watch these two 'kung fu' masters battle it out very SKILLED
@EmperorofCartoons UFC/MMA is barely "martial arts" anyhow its more like US kickboxing & Grappling & holds. I find it to be far too "pop culture" The Ken Shamrock - Bas Rutten days are long past. it's All these 5 year olds running around in UFC gear... Better off to watch a DVD of anything rather than UFC.
@shaolinwisdom I totally agree. All the money, glitz, and restrictive rules have turned ever bout into a battle of glamor, ego, and the same boring, predictable fighting styles.
I think some people are missing the point of drunken boxing. It has a lot to do with deception but not necessarily people thinking you are actually drunk. It has to do with making it hard for your opponent to predict your moves. The falling is also very important and frankly overlooked. If you can't fall in a fight, you are going to get hurt. If you can't fight from the ground you are going to lose. Drunken boxing is a stylized martial art, guess what, like any other martial art.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
So what style of drunken is this which of the 8 immortals? I saw this program and most of it is nonsense and the bullshit of Wu Shu being a "martial art". Most of the people on it were ego filled rejects who were not worthy of being called disciples let alone masters. How can you clam to know drunken boxing and not know or mention the immortals. I wonder if this guy even knows Da Mo.
heh vashcat i know what u mean but there is actualy a diferents between drunken fist(8 drunken gods) and druken boxing( drunken kung fu) and the drunken fist is way better!
Like i said to sean, in the demonstration it seems lame, and in practicality, only a select few situations would make sense to fall like that as a lure. I think the main purpose of "falling' like that in the video was to demonstrate aspects of deception and stuff, and its not a technique used very often in fighting situations with drunken boxing. i.e. the many tumbles and turns you see him perform would not normally be used, but things like the staggering around would.
I agree it does seem like a lame thing in this demonstration, but you have to realise he wouldn't perform it the same way in a fight. He'd just stumble and fall while close to you, so there wouldn't be a long wait between you going for him and him falling. It would be more convincing, and styles which branch of drunken boxing (i.e. drunken monkey) focus on attacking from the ground, leaping up with force, etc... So don't think much of yourself.
@majorkoolness since there is no video evidence of this style actually working against fighters or for that matter working better than other more common arts, one has to use his rationale logic to judge it. to me, those movements just don't seem logical or practical in a fight. I find that there are too many unnecessary movements.
The unnecessary movements you mention are what the style is about. What you're saying is just like saying since we don't see Bruce Lee's style working against real fighters, then Bruce Lee's style is completely useless, which is obviously untrue. Secondly, you have to realise that drunken boxing is part of the chinese kungfu, (as demonstrated in earlier sections of this video), and uses all the chinese kungfu, but with deception, making it harder for opponents to predict what you'll do.
@majorkoolness and here is where individual people draw the line. when i see bruce lee do a demonstration or show techniques, i see something thats viable, effective and real. when i see drunken boxing, i see something unrealistic, unnecessary and illogical. just look at the drunken boxing demonstrations. i watched that drunken boxing sparring match vs the kyokushin karate guy. and it only reinforced my views about it.
That video? I have also watched it previously, and have to say, in agreeing with you, that the Drunken Boxing representative is complete trash. But this is because he has not tried to cover the concepts of drunken boxing (he moves stiffly instead of soft and fluidly, he does not attempt any ways to get closer to his opponent, the only thing really related to drunken boxing that he does is the fists. This is also the reason why i ask you not to compare STYLES but practitioners instead.
@majorkoolness there are infact a lot of bullshit styles out there. just look at that kia master who can supposedly hurt you by not even touching you. either drunken boxing is not very effective, or it is not the fighting style it once use to be. either way, i'd much rather do something that i see as viable. you can't even find sparring videos where the drunken style does well. all you have are lame demonstrations where the guy is doing ritualistic dance.
@majorkoolness Bruce Lee's style DOES work against real fighters. It's entire basis is on efficiency and real-world application. He started with Wing Chun, which is already a very effective martial art in the hands of a skilled fighter, and just refined it to it's purest, most efficient, combining it with what he found effective from other martial arts.
@Bttscks I don't see where I've said Bruce Lee's style is ineffective against other fighters... In future please read posts properly before replying to them.
Also, you've ignored what i sad in my previous comment, which is the fact that this video, is not for direct fighting (save sparring as samples), but its to demonstrate some of its principles. In a real fight, you would find it difficult to hit an opponent who seems off balance all the time but can still change his centre of balance extremely rapidly, and with a great deal of control.
And final thing, don't compare martial arts with each other, i.e. "this style is better than drunken boxing".
Not necessarily. The basis of the form is to be able to fight while being intoxicated OR mimicking it. While being taught at first, the outlines of the form are taught while sober usually so that those studying it can have a firm grasp on it. The basics are usually taught this way. However, you are correct. It is performed much better while within the influence. The alcohol loosens up the body, makes it nimble and severely heightens the resistance to pain.
Uh... no. Both of you are wrong, Drunken Fist techniques are practically impossible to perform while intoxicated. The style needs a lot of coordination, which you lose while drunk. Trying to fight with Drunken Fist while actually drunk will probably end up in you hurting yourself very badly.
Twitchy, drunken boxing has NO alcohol consumption. It has nothing to do with increasing your pain resistance (despite what Jackie Chan films may show), its purely mimicking, as Jalathas said. Also, as he said, trying any of these while truly drunk would end up in self injury. Ever tried a backflip when you can't stand up straight?
Please also leat dawnninjawolf know about this, he obviously has no clue what he's talking about.
Alcohol does not make your body nimble. That nimbleness comes from not being drunk, the right training, and from your swaying in PRETENDING to be drunk. And like i said to dawnninjawolf, the whole idea is not to get hit and feel less pain, its to not get hit at all.
You idiot, you know nothing. First off, Alex Huynh (the practitioner in the vid) is the best drunken boxing master now, since Jackie Chan has retired from practicing it.
Second, its not based of a monk who made the art, its from the eight immortal drunks, or a deceptive extension of chinese kungfu.
The point is not to get hit and not feel it, the point is to not get hit at all, by using the appearance of being drunk to make your opponent misjudge.
you wont learn it in the us anywhere local most likely this atyle is very taboo to most fighters and is extremely difficult because you need strong joints and fingers. that and it is just hard to mimic the movements of a drunkard and be so skilled. but if you can master it then your amazing this style is very deceptive and hard to combat
i but you become pretty good at dodging and evading if you practice drunken boxing, but this style would never do well in a tournament such as K1 or whatever, you would get your butt kicked
I would like to see him dress up as a drunken pirate, and fight in the Carribean. ;)

@EmperorofCartoons But if you can't beat a boxer in the ring with 'drunken monkey kung fu...what makes you think that you would be able to "kill" a drugged up street thug? Your arguement doesn't hold up.

@EmperorofCartoons muay thai was meant for killing... but it is used in MMA i wonder why... karate also gets used sometimes. /watch?v=ihvzEvLkjsc&feature=player_embedded kung fu is just a joke if you think otherwise /watch?v=cVNOU8gzOWs&feature=player_embedded watch these two 'kung fu' masters battle it out very SKILLED

@ZixacunX actually, Muay Thai was made for competitive fighting :x Muay Boran was made for killing, then dumbed down into modern Muay Thai.

@EmperorofCartoons UFC/MMA is barely "martial arts" anyhow its more like US kickboxing & Grappling & holds. I find it to be far too "pop culture" The Ken Shamrock - Bas Rutten days are long past. it's All these 5 year olds running around in UFC gear... Better off to watch a DVD of anything rather than UFC.

@shaolinwisdom I totally agree. All the money, glitz, and restrictive rules have turned ever bout into a battle of glamor, ego, and the same boring, predictable fighting styles.

I think some people are missing the point of drunken boxing. It has a lot to do with deception but not necessarily people thinking you are actually drunk. It has to do with making it hard for your opponent to predict your moves. The falling is also very important and frankly overlooked. If you can't fall in a fight, you are going to get hurt. If you can't fight from the ground you are going to lose. Drunken boxing is a stylized martial art, guess what, like any other martial art.

So what style of drunken is this which of the 8 immortals? I saw this program and most of it is nonsense and the bullshit of Wu Shu being a "martial art". Most of the people on it were ego filled rejects who were not worthy of being called disciples let alone masters. How can you clam to know drunken boxing and not know or mention the immortals. I wonder if this guy even knows Da Mo.

@sn66sean i said the same thing....but the kung fu nerds thumbs downed my comment into oblivion
AFGalwayz 2 years ago
Like i said to sean, in the demonstration it seems lame, and in practicality, only a select few situations would make sense to fall like that as a lure. I think the main purpose of "falling' like that in the video was to demonstrate aspects of deception and stuff, and its not a technique used very often in fighting situations with drunken boxing. i.e. the many tumbles and turns you see him perform would not normally be used, but things like the staggering around would.
majorkoolness 2 years ago
I agree it does seem like a lame thing in this demonstration, but you have to realise he wouldn't perform it the same way in a fight. He'd just stumble and fall while close to you, so there wouldn't be a long wait between you going for him and him falling. It would be more convincing, and styles which branch of drunken boxing (i.e. drunken monkey) focus on attacking from the ground, leaping up with force, etc... So don't think much of yourself.
majorkoolness 2 years ago
@majorkoolness since there is no video evidence of this style actually working against fighters or for that matter working better than other more common arts, one has to use his rationale logic to judge it. to me, those movements just don't seem logical or practical in a fight. I find that there are too many unnecessary movements.
AFGalwayz 2 years ago
The unnecessary movements you mention are what the style is about. What you're saying is just like saying since we don't see Bruce Lee's style working against real fighters, then Bruce Lee's style is completely useless, which is obviously untrue. Secondly, you have to realise that drunken boxing is part of the chinese kungfu, (as demonstrated in earlier sections of this video), and uses all the chinese kungfu, but with deception, making it harder for opponents to predict what you'll do.
majorkoolness 2 years ago
@majorkoolness and here is where individual people draw the line. when i see bruce lee do a demonstration or show techniques, i see something thats viable, effective and real. when i see drunken boxing, i see something unrealistic, unnecessary and illogical. just look at the drunken boxing demonstrations. i watched that drunken boxing sparring match vs the kyokushin karate guy. and it only reinforced my views about it.
AFGalwayz 2 years ago 2
That video? I have also watched it previously, and have to say, in agreeing with you, that the Drunken Boxing representative is complete trash. But this is because he has not tried to cover the concepts of drunken boxing (he moves stiffly instead of soft and fluidly, he does not attempt any ways to get closer to his opponent, the only thing really related to drunken boxing that he does is the fists. This is also the reason why i ask you not to compare STYLES but practitioners instead.
majorkoolness 2 years ago
@majorkoolness there are infact a lot of bullshit styles out there. just look at that kia master who can supposedly hurt you by not even touching you. either drunken boxing is not very effective, or it is not the fighting style it once use to be. either way, i'd much rather do something that i see as viable. you can't even find sparring videos where the drunken style does well. all you have are lame demonstrations where the guy is doing ritualistic dance.
AFGalwayz 2 years ago
@majorkoolness Bruce Lee's style DOES work against real fighters. It's entire basis is on efficiency and real-world application. He started with Wing Chun, which is already a very effective martial art in the hands of a skilled fighter, and just refined it to it's purest, most efficient, combining it with what he found effective from other martial arts.

@Bttscks I don't see where I've said Bruce Lee's style is ineffective against other fighters... In future please read posts properly before replying to them.
majorkoolness 3 months ago
Also, you've ignored what i sad in my previous comment, which is the fact that this video, is not for direct fighting (save sparring as samples), but its to demonstrate some of its principles. In a real fight, you would find it difficult to hit an opponent who seems off balance all the time but can still change his centre of balance extremely rapidly, and with a great deal of control.
And final thing, don't compare martial arts with each other, i.e. "this style is better than drunken boxing".

MIMICKING INTOXICATION? GOOD LUCK!
The whole point of the art is to LITERALLY get drunk off your ass!
The monk who made the art based it off of the ass kicking he gave his whole temple when they tried to punish him for drinking all the wine!
The advantages are not just in appearance, when you get wasted you cannot feel pain, you cannot trick yourself into NOT feeling pain!
If you are going to practice this, PLEASE do yourself a favor and drink beforehand!

@dawnninjawolf
Not necessarily. The basis of the form is to be able to fight while being intoxicated OR mimicking it. While being taught at first, the outlines of the form are taught while sober usually so that those studying it can have a firm grasp on it. The basics are usually taught this way. However, you are correct. It is performed much better while within the influence. The alcohol loosens up the body, makes it nimble and severely heightens the resistance to pain.
twitchy6 2 years ago
Thank you I gathered as much.
dawnninjawolf 2 years ago
Uh... no. Both of you are wrong, Drunken Fist techniques are practically impossible to perform while intoxicated. The style needs a lot of coordination, which you lose while drunk. Trying to fight with Drunken Fist while actually drunk will probably end up in you hurting yourself very badly.
Jalathas 2 years ago
Twitchy, drunken boxing has NO alcohol consumption. It has nothing to do with increasing your pain resistance (despite what Jackie Chan films may show), its purely mimicking, as Jalathas said. Also, as he said, trying any of these while truly drunk would end up in self injury. Ever tried a backflip when you can't stand up straight?
Please also leat dawnninjawolf know about this, he obviously has no clue what he's talking about.
majorkoolness 2 years ago
Alcohol does not make your body nimble. That nimbleness comes from not being drunk, the right training, and from your swaying in PRETENDING to be drunk. And like i said to dawnninjawolf, the whole idea is not to get hit and feel less pain, its to not get hit at all.
majorkoolness 2 years ago
If you have a problem with alcoholism this art is not for you.
dawnninjawolf 2 years ago
You idiot, you know nothing. First off, Alex Huynh (the practitioner in the vid) is the best drunken boxing master now, since Jackie Chan has retired from practicing it.
Second, its not based of a monk who made the art, its from the eight immortal drunks, or a deceptive extension of chinese kungfu.
The point is not to get hit and not feel it, the point is to not get hit at all, by using the appearance of being drunk to make your opponent misjudge.
Idiot...

you wont learn it in the us anywhere local most likely this atyle is very taboo to most fighters and is extremely difficult because you need strong joints and fingers. that and it is just hard to mimic the movements of a drunkard and be so skilled. but if you can master it then your amazing this style is very deceptive and hard to combat
