Interested in techniques not based in reality? The high leaning away will result in his applications NOT working when compliance through fear or respect are absent. "His style" does not follow principle or theory of any known CMA. Due to these reasons, those aren't legitimate applications, many of the times the defender threw himself.

It seems to me if you'd seen a man who could whip 10 men, you'd hardly be impressed by a man who couldn't whip one boxer.

He relied on the flower (flashy/pretty/"looks" like KF) and had very little fruit (sustenance).

I couldn't agree more that it isn't the be all end all of recorded knowledge of anything except perhaps stupidity for its own sake. And there are FAR better examples of "good" KF than the ones you chose to demonstrate what you thought effective KF looked like. Here's a hint, "good" KF doesn't need to "look" like anything except a fight. A general rule is, if its "pretty" it doesn't work. Fighting applications aren't flashy, they're either rooted in the basic's done VERY well or you're buying your own bullshit. Without a proper root, NO "Martial art/Style" is functional. To say he demonstrated a LACK OF a functional root is an understatement, especially for someone try to incorporate Shuai Chaio into his "style".

How about we do this, lets leave the MMA part out of this, leave their forum, lets go to the CMA forum where this belongs, and discuss your ideas, concepts theories and favorite videos that you think show good KF.

BTW, since you're a KF guy, your shit talking belongs in the CMA forums, unless... you're just looking for confrontation, in which case, trust me, you can find PLENTY of that in the CMA forums.

Yeah I don't recall that boxing and wrestling are are what he is known for dedicating his life to. He believed a year of boxing and wresting were all you needed to defeat a "martial artist" so he dedicated his life to "being" a martial artist ...makes sense... not.

And every pathetic, clumsy, out of shape idiot in the world clings to the notion that this fantasy lets them off the hook.

BTW, I find it interesting you chose to add "little" to KOTF as though it were an insult, I'd think any actual practitioner of the CMA's would have avoided that.

Hell yeah! Call me king of Shoalin!

Apparently TC is even to lazy to pay attention to the bad Kun-Fu movies he gets his skills from.


Add one more to the list of ignore.

What notion were you clinging to when the big mf'er slapped the five o'clock shadow off of your face?

a: You needed to get angry in order to "Hulk up"?

b: You like to get a little S&M in before you suplex knife attackers?

or was it
