@elchacal31 You're welcome! I PM'd you some links instead, since youtube wouldn't allow me to post them. Have a nice day! :)

@44excalibur  okay never mind i'll look into it thanks a lot man (:

@elchacal31 @elchacal31 The quote comes from a book titled "Bruce Lee - Between Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do, by Jesse Glover." You can look it up on Google. You can also type Bruce Lee and Choy Li Fut. I don't think youtube will let me post any links.

@44excalibur OMG where did you read that? can you pass the link please?

@OwayneKhoo93 Yes, you're right. Lee was complimenting Thai boxing. But I believe he was also complimenting CLF for being versatile and well-rounded, as other styles of Kung Fu tend to be built around more specific types of combat. I also think it's ironic when people compare "modern" to "traditional," because boxing, wrestling, and Muay Thai have been around for centuries. Karate and CLF didn't exist until the 1800's, and BJJ is mostly taken from Judo. Everything old is new again.

@44excalibur Obviously in his quote it seems that thai boxing is superior to kung fu. Dont get me wrong, I am a BIG fan of kung fu, practise a certain degree of it, and proud of it. But to be realistic, you dont see people training in pure traditional winning in full contact fights. But if you combine both mod and trad, you will be great.

@OwayneKhoo93 Well, I don't know about it being ineffective. Here's a quote from 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." –Bruce Lee

@tylertyler82 It is a known fact that traditional martial arts students progress slowly and uneffectively. I suggest a modern style like boxing, kickboxing and the likes. But no doubt, the traditional aspect of fighting will give you an extreme advantage if you learn both.

I have been taking Choy Lay Fut for 1 year now and I still feel like a moderate beginner.. I look forward to mastering the skills and movements
