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. |
I kinda did that when i was younger Ghost,
Its actually how i started Muay Thai,i was into Wing chun and went round the boxing gyms testing my standard,got my ears rang a few times but sharp learned what to do and gave the boxers some problems in that they couldnt understand what i was doing with the trapping.
Later i needed a new challenge so went to the Thai Boxing gym(which i had to travel 2 hours to get to) and tried to do the same,this time i was getting neck kicked and kneed quite a bit! any way i fell in love with Muay Thai,the smell of the oil,the colours in the gym,the music and the technique,that was it!.
Kept up my Wng Chun training but gradually did more and more Muay Thai.
I also did a couple of years Choy Lee Fut,now there is a style with lots of potential to have great fighters.
Sorry this sounds like my life story! just wanted you to know i did pressure test myself and skills in those days,now? oh man im toooo old! it hurts!.
