Well,there goes another guy back to traditional MA.Once you get a taste of kung fu,you will forget about all this grappling nonesence.

Which style of kung fu, Ryu?

Lacrymosa · 01-03-2001, 08:11 PM

Ryu,

1. Takedown.
2. Mount.
3. Armbar.
4. Talk zen and the art of chiao shaio afterward.

I'm with Ronin. Kick his ass so he can spread the word about grappling and real self-defense.

Learn, absorb what is useful; spar the hardest you can.

Oh, what the f.uck....

DESTROY HIM!

man, a lot of you guys are pretty ignorant. he said he's going to train with a kung fu guy, meaning he wants to learn from the guy. he's not scheduled to fight the guy. but all your egos can interpret from that is "i do bjj so f*ck any other style". pretty sad.

Bruce Lee's nephew speaks!

Actually, alot can be learned from kung fu. For the most part, whenever guys like that train with me (and they know I like to grapple) they can't help but challenge the effectiveness of my takedown and grappling techniques.

It almost never fails.

Bobby Steeles??? The Thai boxer Bobby Steeles? Why don't you ever post in the kickboxing forum... If that is you.

Train with him.? The problem with MA now days is that when people get together to train, it usually translates to, "Oh, if you throw this punch, this is what "we" do, and if you kick me here, "we" would do this." And then the other guy says "Oh, well if you threw that punch at me, our style does this, and we would do this to that kick." And so forth and so forth.

Training should encompass that...training. If training for you, Ryu, is sparring, than by all means spar. And if sparring means try to hit the other guy and not get hit, than by all means, do it. And enjoy. But be friends at the end of the day.

I recently sparred with the advanced students and instructor at a kung fu school. Here's a hint. Be friendly and take it easy on them.
