Why No Chinese in the Fighting sport

[darrianation]

Extremely Wrong!!!!!

if you insist this, then whose the first descendants of man on this world??? The answer is the Australipithicus (Australians) and the Peking Man (Chinese)
they are both fighters to hunt wild animals on thier early world....

then......

your great Indian fighters from where Dharmarama came from (their fighting art came back to China and Australia)

so by using my criteria where are all the great Chinese and Australian Fighters!!!!

Sherwinc you’re stupid, and squidd is correct. Africa is the place that is generally accepted by science to be where man began.

I was just trying to make a point by saying MAs did not originate from China however there has been some form a fighting methods since the cave man. However I quantified my statement by saying MAs as we know them, meaning organized fighting systems that consists more than just weapons.

Anyway all cultures had their fighting methods, and surely neither India, nor China was the first place where people got into fist fights. People fought and killed each other since the caveman.

While fighting systems where being practiced by the the monks in China in other parts of the world people were perfecting their own fighting systems.

Once again you have shown how stupid you are!

He seems to do it quite a bit. Its almost easier to let him insult himself, but not as fun.

Now that I had more time to write here is more inf:

Peking man was discovered about 42 km south-west of Beijing and his remains are estimated to date back to 300,000 to 400,000 years ago. While Lucy was found in east Africa, Lucy is believed to about 3 to 3.5 million years old. Lucy predates Peking man by a long time.

Kung Fu developed in the Hunan province of China in the 5th Century AD. A Buddhist monk from India by the name of Batuo, Da Mo, Tamo, and etc depending on what history you read. Kung Fu wasn’t originally Chinese, fighting systems or more correctly exercises from India came to china and there they were synthesized and organized into Kung Fu.

Of course there were fighting methods long before this not only in China but anywhere man lived throughout the world. Fighting systems where not created by the Chinese, they have existed as long as man has been on the earth.

Well darn it, they still need to learn how to drive

[haumana2000]

correct me if im wrong but Austraulipithicus means southern ape, and was found in Africa not in Australia. Austral=southern not australia. And india does have some of the oldest known fighting arts, besides Africa and Egypt.
Kalaripyatt, Thang tha, marma adi, and wrestling. Indian Wrestlers have been hailed as some of the best in the world as well, and their fitness with the old kettlebells gave rise to the traditional circus strongman.

How come you don't see any Chinese in the Fighting Sports?
Are they to busy moving to California and driving black Mercedes Benz?

Considering that the fighting arts where practically born in China you would think they would be dominating the sport.

They are slowly making their way into the fightng sports. Sanshou fighters from China are competing regularly in K-1 and getting to the finals. There are probably alot of good Chinese MMA fighters out there, who haven't been scouted, especially the "Cro-cop" type fighters that aren't aloud media exposure because of their military duty.

Another reason is that sports in general are considered low on the socioeconomic totum pole by the chinese. the earnings of guy's like Yao Ming will probably change that trend.

Australopithecus africanus the word is actually part latin and greek not australian. So you are definately off base on this one Sherwinc.

The aborigin and the ita in the south east of asia and the africans has sure has a lot of similarities except in height, africans are much taller. I believe the filipino are mixed race. The people on tropical regions have darker skin complexion and speaking of evolution i also believe that africa is where we all from.

[yentao]

Martial arts in the eastern part of asia are either began in india or china but i more believe in india because the oldest recorded empty handed martial art in asia was found there. South east asian martial art has most its martial art origin from china.

Let's get back to Chinese Martial Arists in MMA Events...!!

One question....what if Cung Le was to enter in MMA events...how do you think he would do?

One question....what if Cung Le was to enter in MMA events...how do you think he would do?

He's doing good in K-1 right now. I think in a MMA event like Pride or UFC he would do pretty good. He has excellent striking, spectacular takedown, and being a sanshou guy he has good takedown defense also. He would need some ground game though.

[konghan]

There are chinese people competing in mma events in the philippines all the chinese guys that joined won.

Nice to hear that, it seem that kung fu or chinese have always been the target of redicule & mock for the uselessness of its martial art. Although for several times kung fu have prooven that it can stand up on its own against those critics by prooving that kung fu can win tournaments.

If I were 20 or 25 years younger I would sign up in UFC & presnt my self as a kung fu fighter, & will proove to the world that kung fu work both in the street & in the ring.

Already we are seeing many ground fighters loosing to strikers becuase they always exposed their heads while trying to go in to execute a takedown & many strikers are learning how to counter incoming grapplers.

And if you look at the technique on countering incoming grapplers those techniques can be found in kung fu ( ngo cho kun ) or in most martial for that matter. Its just a matter of properly executing that technique.

In fact if any of you guys have watch the first UFC championship between Gracie ( the Brazilian grappler ) vs a Tiger Kung Fu guy ( forgat his name). Gracie almost got knock down & he couldn`t get in he keep getting hit. The only thing that went for Gracie was his very good stamina & conditioning. The kung fu guy & this is not an excuse for his part had injured his right fist during an earlier boute.

The kung fu stayed low on his horse stance moving & twisting his hips at the same time throwing punches. It took more than 5 min, that in the end the kung fu guy run out of stamina that he finally got submitted by Gracie. Check out their old tape.

I have tried some chines arts and they arent that bad actually.

The ones that I tried are a better form of self defence than ....karate.
But then so is butterfly collecting!

The best one by far though was chinese Kickboxing.

But still not as effective as Muay Thai.


I'm afraid I can feel a silly,sick tastless and politically incorrect joke coming on!

So will those of a sensitive nature please look away now!

I think that the chinese dont do martial arts because they are so tough they would defeat anybody.

I saw one on the news a few years ago ,
I think it was a tienamen Square and he was all on his own taking on a....TANK!
And I dont mean Tank Abbott.

A big angry mob of army tanks!

And he didnt back down!

Infact he lay down!

Now that man has courage,
see who says tai Chi doesnt work ???
