Lei Tai Fighting Exhibition

[Shadowreeper213]

this looks more like wrestling that an actual martial arts fight.

[phalanxbl]

@Shadowreeper213

Wrestling *is* a martial art.

[Lovlygod]

They just forgot to wear the red nose.

[zigzag42092]

these guys look like they suck at fighting. look at him punch HAHA 3:05

[universetechnique]

Remember I was here.Thai

[Zhilitasha]

This show is getting popular in China. It is a show for all amateur practisiones of various styles to come to do some sparring and have fun. It is NOT a real fight such as fights among amateur Sanda fighters or boxers or Shaui Jiao people.

[vinodsreehari]

Are they really kung fu fighters ? looks like school kids fighing ..

[aremieroll1990]

wow.. he roll when his leg get caught.. that kind of skill is usefull when sparring..

[lazaga777]

@aremieroll1990 2:01 that was too late for him. should have done it a bit earlier.

[SofaKingRetaDid25]

I teach you real kung fu.

[Skillking22]

Crap. No stances. No balance. Weak defense. Sloppy attacks.

[jiapau]

I don't understand some of the comments here. They can't hit the face or any vital parts. They can't cause much damage with the protective gear. Basically that's what will end up throwing and kicking each other. I saw some really good throws. Throws are deadly too. I personally trained martial arts. I have ways too to kill someone purely with throw too. Then again. Not everyone are expert enough to see the skill invloved to achieve this on the ring.

[sickofdao]

they kinda suck

[theneenjah]

@sickofdao ummm...not really.

[theneenjah]

@sickofdao ummm...not really. what are u comparing it to anyways

[vincentg808]

what style were these guys supposed to be fighting with?

[hankzhg]

I have to agree with you in some sense,there were too much inner figtings. China is so big and culturely isolated from outside at the end of 19th century, that was one of the problem, every empiro has its up and down. but, try it now ...I realy want some real fight.

[egrojodnamra]

I would love to see China in its primes, but no war, jejeje

[egrojodnamra]

now I see why Japan was able to invade China

[hankzhg]

you fucking pussy, you know nothing about history. Japan didn't invade China using hand, they use fire arms, which China is not good at that time.

[egrojodnamra]

russians stoped the nazis, almost with the same amount of weapons, and being as populated as China, and only few years later. Mongolians did also invade China , when powder weapons were not invented, and they were a prety small country. I love chinese culture, but some times that people seems so unorganized, with so much unitless....shame

[SunWukong4]

fuck off dick head egrojodnamra you fail at life.

[k96076]

@hankzhg that's true and not true, Japan had a more modernized army than China and more importantly took advantage of China being in a civil war at the time. The nationalist army (who did have elite german trained troops - most of them died fighting Japanese in the battle of shanghai) had to fight the Japanese and the communists at the same time.

[davihurrycane]

Kung-fu has groundfighting traditions, "Suay Jiao" or Chinese Judo

kung fu is more than the 4F's, but these idiots who do not train and make it look as ridiculous as this fight on video

I'll post some of Lei Tai real fights

[ooogooman]

Shuai jiao is a *grappling* tradition, but not really a groundfighting tradition: its training is almost exclusively standing grappling.

[jeffdoeskungfu]

@davihurrycane Perhaps you mean "grappling" traditions? Most shuai jiao teachers I know emphasize takedown defense to avoid having to stay on the ground. As it was a battle-field art, it doesn't make sense to roll around with armed foot soldiers and cavalrymen buzzing around you. But I do want to see those lei tai fights. Have they been uploaded yet?

[marcusorilius]

My point was that they ran out of energy and it turned into a pushing match as they couldn't finish the fight. As chokes, joint locks, etc. are done mostly on the ground and head strikes are not allowed, you can't finish the fight, and you will just run out of steam.

[rojcewiczj]

these dudes clearly dont do much fighting outside of this match. Either that or they never fought anyone who was very good

[Francombat]

It was an Exhibition...o.k

Thank you for all your comments guys

[Holomatchi]

sorry but no punches to the head is pritty taking it away from its roots...

[datboixin]

Xtreme Sumo Wresling!!!!

[marcusorilius]

lol - no head strikes and padded "kung fu" outfits for their torsos and no ground fighting... no wonder they ran out of energy and it became a pushing match.

[datboixin]

i saw head strikes

[marcusorilius]

No head strikes is one of the rules. When the one guy did strike his opponent in the head, it was a foul - as you can tell by their reactions.

[irai1984]

its funny how in the first few seconds they were flashing around with they're hands.. but by the third fall they were just holding their hands up like normal fighters..

Who was it that said all fights end up on the ground...? :P

[marcusorilius]

Considering they stood the fight back up every time it went to the ground, obviously there would be no ground fighting...

[irai1984]

yeah sorry, i was trying to sound sarcastic...

[crouchtig]

Kinda fun to watch, you just don't know what'll happen next...

[TacoTakahashi]

this fuckin shit is judo or kung fu?

[cuihao]

doesnt matter..this is shitty to the max

[SimKoning]

Most real chinese martial arts involve just as much grappling (if not more) as striking. Some styles such as shuai jiao are hard to tell apart from judo

[respom]

i totally agree with you, but don't judo continue fighting when both go on the ground?

[SoundwaveSuperior373]

i dunno y they r wearing those puffy air clothes it makes em look fat

[nel3000]

kinda painful to watch

[khmerbraveheart]

cool, but why old people? haha..

[tarmynastyr]

Because they prolly had more training and are more mature?

[gqplaya2000]

i like this!
