Are traditional martial arts real? + a brief history of fighting (part 2)

some people actually think that zui quan practicioners get drunk to fight. that's just stupid, they only act drunk. it's a trick that will work 1% of the time. at every other moment they are actually exercising unpredictability, the drunken act is tradition you can do the style without it.

None of you know anything at all. Only a witch knows real fighting, and something else if similar enough to a Witch, and that would be someone like Anderson Silva or a very high level Samurai like Musashi and some very nasty Chinese from the Ancient Land of China whom were schooled in the Martial Arts, and none as deadly as the Five Deadly Venoms.

@CrafterApprentice

i don't know whether you're truly crazy or just plain stupid

[ronaldtor5]

there is a way to probe it,Go to the ring,octagon and fight.I do not see a kung fu practicioner win in a ufc or pride.Well except cunan lee .el Guy the sanda kung fu

@ronaldtor5

a ring is not real life ronaldtor5, it has all sorts of rules you need to apply yourself to.

believe me when you learn several styles of martial arts-NOT SPORT- you don't get into fights because you know many lethal moves, a more balanced matchup would be a soldier versus a master of martial arts on hand to hand combat, in a concrete house. provided they have no weapons i give my money to the martial arts master. people like paul vunak, benny jet or dan inosanto train special forces

[mazdaplz]

this is not my opinion, it is a fact. look it up for yourself.

dan inosanto and his students paul vunak and rick young, not only helped DIRECTLY INVENT US NAVY SEAL TRAINING (search paul vunak) and rick young teaches the same moves that israeli commandos use. to name a few, because i am sure they also had to do with police and military training in the philippines. dan inosanto is a master of several martial arts, only rivaled by benny the jet and bruce lee himself, and then his studen paul vunak

they will tell you kung fu is not child's play.

did you know the bodyguards of mao zedong practiced kung fu? they were lethal, they also invented their own form of kung fu when they fled to south america. it is devastating

[Anandfulness]

@ronaldtor5: I don't think that a serious kung fu practitioner will go into a competition that restricts them from fighting 100% (meaning eyegouges, throatpunches, groinkicks and other techniques that effectively work in the street.)

When you fight, you fight 100%. You can spar with eachother if there's nothing on the line and learn from eachother but fighting over prestige and belts is not helpful in the long-term. On the contrary, it will more often deteriorate your body and mind.

I did Taekwondo for a long time, and then I did a trial lesson on Wing Chun. I sparred with the teacher and wasn't even able to hit him once. We sparred for 30 minutes, but I couldn't touch him once. Not one single punch landed. I find it so ridiculous when people say that "Wing Chun sucks". They have no idea.

Surely, Wing Chun and a lot of other arts (like Taekwondo as well) are being trained the wrong way. But the art itself is ridiculously strong.

I was really fast, but not once...

[yizhichanlohan]

traditional kungfu is the root of modern styles but you have a clear misunderstanding of drunken boxing wingchun and mantis boxing its really quite sad. mantis boxing does not resemble mma fighting even in the slightest. if you mean mantis uses throws and grappling then you are correct but a mantis style fighter would be much more skilled than a ufc fighter. actually all traditional kungfu styles have grappling and throws that includes wingchun and drunken boxing.

traditional martial arts are more practical for street fights in fact. moves like stepping on feet, groping below belt, kicking of the groin, are all practical n usable moves in the street, in modern martial arts, lots of dese are taken out, as they move into the ring, safety is taken into consideration.
