Martial Arts Odyssey: Evolution Combat ROC (Part 1)

In Taipei, Taiwan, host, Antonio Graceffo meets Sifu Gordon at Evolution Combat where he gets a lesson in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). The interesting thing about MMA in Taiwan is that many of the practitioners have a background in Wing Chun or Chinese martial arts, as well as wrestling, Sambo, or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. As a result, the art and the fighting have a different look than MMA in other places. Some of Gordons throws even come from Tai Chi. Particularly, the stand up fighting is different, because in addition to Muay Thai you will see spinning kicks, straight kicks, karate and kung fu kicks.

You are very fortunate to be so talented. it is a pitty your personality is so weak. who is your instructor? does he encourage you to spend your time talking trash on the internet?

[soccer7416]

lol no one encourages me to do that..its just the way teens are plus im just so bored ive trash talked good vidios too so i really dont care see its nice for you guys to put this stuff online but its stupid to take everything to heart

[brooklynmonk1]

maybe you could do something positive, like making your own, better vieo and you could help people learn.
