Yeah i think these are good points, especially how they train, i think they would end up ditching half the crap and perfecting all the good stuff in ways that isnt being done now due to lack of pressure.
Would be great to see kung fu evolve through pressure testing and see a really effective system based on all their techniques.
Might be something to do there fire cobra? a project for the future. learn kungfu then pressure test it and develop it.

Does this make Kung Fu a bad Martial art? not at all,its just that the Thai fighters could clinch/kick and box effectively,the Kung Fu guys couldnt.
In the old styles of Muay Thai biting/butting etc were legal techniques(anything goes) imagine how effective those guys were!.
If you look at the chinese arts carefully,the potential for them to produce real effective fighters from most systems is massive,loads of real good technique,but the fact is they dont fight in most systems usually,and the training methods of the techniques leave a lot to be desired.
San Shou boxers are exceptions of course,however they have also integrated Thai Methods into there training. |
