Why No Chinese in the Fighting sport

[konghan]

.................................................................................................... .........

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 ???

To the death!, but in commercial sports its about MONEY! & business. Majority of chinese parents would prefer to see their children become acedemie or successful businesspeople not mindless fighters. That is why most true kung fu masters are not only fighetrs but scholars & healers ( acupuncturist, chiropractor or gen, medical doctors).

In fact, my parents didn`t approve of me joining tournaments they only want me to be part of a kung fu club for tradition purposes not to get my head knock around. Many times during my training years I had to train in between classes in order to get that extra training needed to improve my skills.

Good Post, a very good answer......

Note:

Learning KungFu no so much to defeat an opponent,
as it is to conquer yourself.......

If you fight and win a thousands of battles is not good,
it is better to win a battle without fighting......
