By the look of this, both fighters have little experience, but what the heck. They are there on the mat texting themselves and that's pretty good. You can't blame them for that. We all started that way
I agree with you. One of the pitfalls of Kung Fu now is the lack of pressure testing vs other martial arts. I learned a lot about it during our sparring sessions. Chicken wing blocks suck, elbow blocks work, chain punch sucks, sun punch works, stuffing kicks is really effective, etc. Good on them for that.
Both fighters obviously do not have too much experience, but hey - they are stepping on the mat and trying to test their abilities. Kudos to that. If they keep it up maybe their styles might be starting to shine through one day.
i agree with that. about the experience part. fighting is def a little different in china. not so developed. but choy lee fut in america have remedied that for our lineages
Tai chi guy looks like we see so many times, like he hesitates to strike like he has to have some kind of set up before he can strike. Instead of just being reactionary and fluid, its like he is just trying to be too structured, which leaves him waiting for the perfect time to strike. His hesitation is to his detriment.
All Kung Fu schools should teach Sanda ( Chinese kick boxing) & Shuai jaio ( Chinese wrestling) & Chin Na ( joint locks) while teaching their systems, because it takes waaaaay too long to be able to be proficient in utilizing complex systems in a an actual fight. Especially if you’re not actually fighting. Stop the madness! This comes from a someone who has practiced Wing Chun for over 20 plus years . I use boxing & Muay Thai in actual fights I have had on the streets & bars as a bouncer , Wing Chun only once I’ve closed the distance & it’s usually only a punch or an elbow . Sifus teach your students how to actually fight!
Bro... The effusive joy you take in these videos is so infectious. Haha! You've got me smiling and giggling right along with you. Even while appreciating your killer color commentary! Keep dishing gold, friend! 😂
Taijiquan(not Tai Chi) means "Grand Ultimate Fist" far as I know. According to Guan Nan Wang(TriEssence Martial Arts), modern Tai Chi is a system born out of people not knowing the purpose of Taijiquan. Imagine if someone tried to present taekwondo as a wrestling art? According to what I've heard, it's an accurate comparison.
@@jestfullgremblim8002 Taiji-quan, not Tai Chi. Quan pronounced 'chen' translated as 'fist' or 'boxing', it is a term used for Striking arts. Xing-Yi-Quan Form-Intent-Fist Ba-ji-quan Eight-Direction-Fist Tong-Bei-quan White-Ape-Fist Hoenslty... Taiji and Tai chi Might as well be 2 different systems at this point. But that's my opinion.
Meh...that's a bit pedantic. It's all just different spellings of romanized translations and an umbrella term. If you want to get literal them write it in Pinyin. Wing chun, wing tsun, and ving chun can all claim stylistic differences with their spelling and we can get all pedantic about it but it's all just wing chun.
Tai chi standing grappling techniques only work if the dude was gonna miss you with a strike anyway. If you get clipped it just puts you in a bad undefendable position with your hands down/out
Ngl i kinda wanna go to China and clean some of these boys up 😅 where do you even find these amateur kung fu competitions? In like local sports halls or something?
Sao Chui is what they call the wide arc looping strikes in Cantonese. They hit with either the fist or the forearm. That style basically turn haymakers into a art form
These guys are aggressive, and fit and both seem to have decent speed...which means they'd probably be decent fighters if they studied under more practical systems. No critique here these guys are doing it.
lol both were so bad. I like CLF, and its the style dont by Lord Shen in kung fu panda (best villain in my opinion haha). wish we saw some peng, lu, ji, an, mechanics (掤 捋 擠 按) in the taiji guy. these guys just seem to do whatever and call it tai chi
