so when are you going to be in the ufc with guys coming at you with full strength and lets see if these blocks work. Do you have any mma videos of you fighting and showing these blocks work? These days that what we want to see not some guy standing there so you can make a move. Have any mma videos at all?

[chinaboxer]

it's a legit question, i don't compete anymore, i'm too old now, when i was in my prime, UFC didn't exist, MMA competitions didn't exist. that's why i did Shooto, which was as close to MMA back in the day.

i only spar now and train and teach. but the people i spar with, i highly doubt that they will let me video tape us full sparing and then allow me to post them on youtube.

[chinaboxer]

i'll ask them, but like i said, if i we were good friends and both had many years of experience and sparred, would YOU let me video tape us and post it?

sparring for us is a learning experience, but for us specifically.

but like i said, i'll ask.

Secondly, where the hell do you think "MMA" Comes from.

MIXED

MARTIAL

ARTS.

I see a lot of constant bashing from MMA fanboys. Who probably haven't even PRACTICED any type of Martial arts.

But wow, why the F- are you trying to insult martial arts purists, when thats where MMA fucking comes from?

MIXED. Dumbasses. MIXED. Insulting the origin of your MMA which you retardedly try to go "ITS BETTER THAN TKD, ITS BETTER THAN KUNG FU ITS BETTER THAN-" Shut, the FUCK up already.

[KingR3aper]

You goddamn UFC MMA guys are always like "OMG LETS SEE THAT DO THAT AND THIS DO THIS THEY WONT LAST FOR [enter time period] LONG"

Shut up already. Thats not the point of martial arts like Wing Chun, and many others. Most of it is discipline than fighting. Not who can drop who the fastest in the octagon.

If you can't understand that, then you are just another frat fag screaming "AUGHGHH!! YEAH!" at the T.V with beer in one hand.

Thats right, stfu and Grow the fuck up, you fags.

@KingR3aper: It's not like American folk wrestling, BJJ, and Muay Thai had a baby and named it MMA. 

[ramareddy]

@KingR3aper: While it is true that many MMAists train in different styles, "Mixed Martial Arts" is just semantics. It was a phrase invented in 1995 to replace the long-used "No Holds Barred" and the pejorative "human cock-fighting". If you mix martial arts, it doesn't make you a mixed martial artists. There are a lot of jokers running around saying they've combined Muay Thai and TKD, and therefore teach MMA. MMA is a combat sport that allows for a wide range of techniques.

@KingR3aper couldn't have said it better myself. if only i can like your comment x10 =)

[PenileFracture]

@KingR3aper Well said my friend. Nearly every kungfu video I watch there is one of those "______ WON'T LAST A MINUTE AGAINST..... IN A MMA FIGHT" guy. Fucking annoying.

[bongwatertastey]

Muhammad was taking a beating actually in his fight with george foreman.

[bloodhoundganglolz]

@fliptthescript the concept of this form of martial arts is to not block, but to throw your opponent off balence or manipulate their limbs to leave them wide open. so basiclly its 25% block 75% moveing your opponent. even george st. piarre got thrown off balence, he would loose, in this style, they hit the fast, hard, and without getting hit them sleves. and power dosent matter. muhhamed ali would beat george foreman because of his speed. wat good is power if u cant hit? <.<

[norma1250]

@rbdhack are you a wing chun guy? If so u can find different ways to "bridge the gap" like a low kick and as the guy reacts to the kick, u follow your kick into them or if you're a boxer u can wait them to jab and follow their jab into them or u can jab at certain times and follow your own jab in but there's lots of ways

[rbdhack]

I have a friend.. he's a boxer and a good one.

The problem is that they don't make such mistakes to move the shoulder away so you can catch them... He's also a big guy and really there's not enough force to block he's attacks..

[Arealmartialartist1]

Amazing video my friend and very informative. I am a mix martial artist but for the street. I choose to combined Wing Chun and Japanese Jujitsu. Your videos are great keep them coming. 

[wahhuhyeh]

what happened when you nearly got in that fight?

[Supermanu15]

damn jin continue ur story about how you guys almost got into a fight with 2 other guys! :D

[anirokkfan]

@fliptthescript wing chun is about deflecting not blocking. mma is a sport not intend for the streets. i love mma but i wouldn't want to find myself in a clinch when a guys buddies jump in!

[cchp220]

dude your such a dumb ass. mixed martial arts is allllllllll martial arts including wing chun. all martial arts is included when your in mma. if your not trying to drop the other guy then what are you trying to do? cuz im pretty sure your dumb ass is gonna get kocked out

[NoobPwnerCo]

Love the sounds effects at the beginning x]

[kirecorp]

Tell usss !!! =D

[Milkycwalk]

@KingR3aper You can never compare WIng Chun to MMA, wanna know why? Wing Chub was designed for street fighting, you go for overwhelming moves where you seriously damage your opponent such as neck shot or gouge. In MMA this isnt allowed so you cant compare a ring fighting style to a street fighting style.

[Hrairoo53]

is the choke a legitimate concern at 3:30 when you're controlling his wrist?

[TonyHanin]

@KingR3aper Agreed completely.But Internet is full of such "my dad beat your dad" dudes. Some kind of spam you know. :)

[TonyHanin]

Another story? Starving to hear!!!

[pappi1530]

hi ,thanks alote for this videos ,you are a very good teacher,could you please developpe the priciple of strechin.thank you very much.

[freespadersuggs]

mentally how would you respod to such an event, what goes through your mind when you have a street guy closing the distance unexpectedtly and how do you react? anny words of wisdom?

[freespadersuggs]

Hey CB, awesome video. I love the martial arts and have practiced various forms. Fortunately I have avoided street fight after starting martial arts. Unfortunately i have a false sense of how to close the distance or react to an opponent who closes the distance on the street. When in the street, have you had experience in either closing the distance on someone, or what was your train of thought when an opponent all of a sudden closed the gap? that would throw me off guard to be honest....

[Bman4717732]

would this work if you are fighting people who are taller then you and have more reach? i spar with a guy who is about 6'1 and im only 5'9 and his arm has quite a range. I cant seem to get close to him without him throwing a few punches before im able to get in. Im not a professional fighter but i still try to improve.
