Traditional Kung FU

Clearly there are better students and teachers out there than we see in this lame example...

aint that the truth

I couldn't agree more! This is one of the reasons I think competition is good for MA as a whole. There are a lot of "teachers" with decades of experience and a school full of students that look up to them that have never proved themselves. How many others would be similarly embarrassed by an honest white belt from a school that believes in competition?

RBSD schools don't have competitions because the mindset is diffrent.

Train like you fight, fight like you train.

This is not to say there is no sparring or contact, otherwise all military would be corpses or a buch of "pussies who can't fight"


Diffrent mindset diffrent set of skills.

indeed...

Sounds like a sorry excuse for a school if that was an instructor.

Rudy's instructor confirmed he had trained for ~20 years. Rudy was also listed as an instructor at that school.

As an aside, when he was contacted about the fight, Rudy's instructor made several excuses for Rudy tapping out to an ear grind. Birds of a feather....

My point is there are a lot of people out there who claim they know but they are really just loud mouth ass hats.

I doubt any of those two people could demonstrate the basic principles of the arts they claim to teach, especially since one couldn't explain or even argue the points of the art properly.

Ain't that the truth!

You are correct. And he was also very open about the fact that the only art he had rank in was BJJ, and that he was a white belt in that art.

His opponent on the other hand, made sure everyone knew he was a Sifu, and that he was instructing students.

There was a moderator on this forum at one time, who claimed to be a Sifu in a post on here, and on an instructors website, but who in a PM admitted to knowing jack about the art. Who then in a later PM claimed to have grown up doing it.

That was pretty funny!

The funny thing about that is that the guy who won doesn't claim to be qualified to teach anything..

I'd prefer to take lessons from the winner of that fight, rather than the loser.

That leads me to the question.... What determines the "winner" of a fight?

The guy who didn't tap out, he was the "winner".

The key words being "the loser."

It was an ear grind.

Ah yes, my mistake.
