about all your fighting about kickboxer would knock him out or not: who cares? we´re not gonna find out anyway. one thing though: a kickboxer might be fast and strong but from what i know about kickboxing they train for glove- ring fights but somebody who practises kung fu ( especially the original styles ) is able to kill within the blink of an eye! kickboxing is a sport! kung fu is 1. a weapon and 2. a meditative practise teaching mindfullness. but i still dont care whod win or not peace!

I dont see how legitimate it is to argue about "who would win" in a fight. For one thing, Tong Long is partially an "internal" system, so its impossible to guage the power behind the technique. Forms barely reflect the depth of any martial art. Some are more practical than others but every style has purpose and merit. I studied Tong Long and Ninpo Tai Jutsu for seventeen years, although I prefer the Chow style I respect what I have garnered from Ninjutsu as well. Its not the way, its the warrior

I used to train under situ whit rod before my dad became a sifu himself. Let me explain, sifu whitrod possess great internal power that would simply make a lot of professional fighters look ordinary. He used to dual years back and from my dads stories, take on opponents from different styles, including kick boxing and many others and come out on top. Also, he is a teacher in muay Thai, Indian style (kali) prob spelt wrong, shaolin, 5 animals and I think possibly bagwa (again prob spelt wrong) b

@1JZGTE666 yeah, I myself trained internal martial arts (southern styles and bagua zhang) with Sifu Rich Mooney (if the name rings a bell) and this guy totally rocked my world in terms of physical comprehension. he told me to throw a roundhouse at his face, hit my thie with a bent finger only and surprisingly my other leg ( the one i was standing on) collapsed after feeling a rush of extreme "electric" pain throughout my whole body...its really sick what you can do if you know some vital points

[1JZGTE666]

@infrared567 dude muay thai isn't deadly... i did it for years, and yeah its fast and teaches you to take a punch if nothing else, but it still doesn't compare to something that's developed for killing and taking apart a human body.

[1JZGTE666]

@vayenaka agree totally, i myself have done both Muay Thai and Wing Chun and of the two, even though muay thai uses knees and elbows, its a sport... and kick boxing is just the watered down version of that. I've done wing chun now for 5yrs and through a friends brother who learns Henry Siu's version i am having my eyes opened to some shattering techniques, the whole premise of their style is to not put down, but DESTROY an opponent in 3 strikes. This style is lethal.

Enthralling demonstration, exactly why I took up this form of martial art!

[lawker777]

I learned this. its pretty effective against normal punches, especially those from tkd n karate. but it depends of how the strong the person is, if they hv eperience if they hv the reflexes

[infrared567]

depends what kind of kickboxing were talking about. If were talking bout Muay Thai, then no, its not a "sport" that is a deadly form of Kickboxing, no gloves involved.

[jimiskinglivecouk]

Exelent demonstration, i am currenty studying at this school... oh and the "HackneyShark" needs to shutup about Paul

Degree's are a prussian (german) invention lmao. The japanese adopted degree's to black belt to copy germans. Japs are well known sellouts. I know pat moritas niece btw. He stopped talking to family after he got famous from happy days well past middle age.
