I take kung fu and I love UFC but the reason kung fu people don't usually fight is because most "true" kung fu is for maiming or killing it is harder to beat someone up than it is to kill them. Kung fu would have to be modified to fight in MMA.

i did see that s.hit about the shaolin monks.. on the discovery channel. DID ANYONE SEE THAT?? WOOOH!!

they hung themselves and didn't choke, they would hit themselves with big logs. 4 people holding a log and ramming it into a monks body and he was like "heyya grrrr grrr" taking it like a gangster!.. bending the swords with their bodies.. all that s.hit is excellent to watch but takes years.. but it was tight!!! much props to shoalin!!

i have that documentery on my comp. yeah those shaolin guys did tons of pretty intense stuff, however, i dont know if u noticed but never once did it show them do any kind of live sparring. all they did was conditionining, and forms. never once did any of them have any gear on, going toe to toe with eachother. they are missing out on the most important aspect of training. i mean, ok so they use ur head as a battering ram to strenghtnen it, and u spend hours conditioning ur hands with sand and water and whatnot, but what good is all that when u havent even sparring before and dont know how to keep ur cool while being attacked and whatnot?

I've seen them spar without gear.

dont lie to me

[medic06]

OH yeah, my bad. Since you didn't see them fight in the video that means they don't spar.

hey all im sayin is, they did like a 1 hour documentary on them and how they train. they did tons and tons of conditioning and forms, but they didnt show them sparring. they showed footage of them doing some partner work with weapons and whatnot, but it was all coreographed stuff. if live sparring was an important part of there regimen, they most likely would have shown that.

where? when?

[medic06]

where? when?

Yesterday in my backyard.

Nah, I've downloaded some footage way back that showed them sparing. They weren't that great I admit, but I really don't think that they really are that worried about smashing people into the ground. They practice more for the conditioning. . . .

You must live in the coolest neighborhood ever!

First I would like to state that the definition of sparring is to not go all out. Second things happen diffrently when you know the guy your fighting isn't going to kill you. Also alot of martial arts in the US have been dgreed down due to lawsuit because people got hurt training. Ask any local Dojo they will confirm this. Also Shoalin is not the only Kung-Fu and they are super secret about theres. The stuff you see on TV and in documentaries is mainly Wushu something brought about by the communist government( this is well documented) as exercise. If I were a communist ruler who just wiped out all the religions in my country because it doesn't fly with my system I wouldn't bring back the guys who almost helped collapse rulers in the past and let them train in the art form that was the best in said country for centuries. Not everything we see and read is true. To the victor goes the spoils and the history book editing rights as well. Shoalin is not what it used to be the true arts are still around you just won't find them on your video shelf next to Jet Li's "The One". these misconceptions and the chinese buffing up myths about outrageous Kng-Fu fighters in the past are not helping the art. Every fighting style has myths about great warrior who could leap tall builindgs in a single bound. Or throw thundebolts but if you study history dilligently enough you can weed out the myth and find the truth.

This is completely untrue. My Great-Great Grandfather founded the Scottish Martial Art of Fuhk-Yew. The man farted thunder and could crap lightning . . . but he couldn't jump for sh*t. And you wouldn't want to throw that stuff.

Now that I've completely ruined the mood on this thread . . . I think I'll slip away quietly.
