I just want to be the first to call it with certainty. It is obvious, though. Someone who acts like they’re all surprised with the troll talk, yet it’s clear this person knows ALOT about the board. NO profile, who’d of figured out how to edit the profile right away? Uses a handle similar to a known female, wushu Chik. First post on what could be a contraversial topic, but one would only know that IF they had been spending a lot of time on the board. Very short posts, it does not appear this person is actually looking for any info, more of a “stir up the discussion” thing. No surprise indicated that 40 responses came in right away. Feigning innocence, yet responding timely like an old pro.
In all fairness, I have no problem with trolls, they make the board more interesting. There really are only a few good new threads everyday that actually relate to Kung Fu. We’re all looking for entertainment here.
But really, how can you guys be fooled so easily? Thanks for feeding the trolls because I sure won’t, yet I do appreciate them.

Ya, it’s kinda like water testing witches. If they drown then they were inocent. And as far as us being a bunch of a$$holes, well I can’t speak for everyone, but YES … YES I am!
You guy are really freaky!!
My friend told me you kung fu guys were a bunch of
dweebs, but this is rediculous!!
If me being here ****es all you 12 year old kung fuey masters off then I am going to come here every chance I get!!
LOL! Boys got problems!!
Western Boxer…your friend is STUPID…like YOU. Go play on a boxing forum…why the hell are you here anyway?? Just to p!ss in everyone elses cornflakes? LOL, you need some serious help. Boxers are cool…especially when you hit them with a crescent kick to the jaw and they fall on the floor bawling like a little b!tch. SOUND FAMILIAR?? Probably…go back to mommys tit lil boy!!
>>>you hit them with a crescent kick to the jaw and they fall on the floor bawling like a little b!tch.
LOL!! Looks like this fantasy kung fuey has rubbed off on you girl!
You must be really desperate for the boys attention to play kung fuey with them!
I bet your size 16 panties that your a hefer who can only get boys to touch you by playing kung fuey. Try boxing…it will help you lose weight and it will actually teach you how to throw a real punch. Those spinning flying crescent kung fuey kicks will get your fat little hefer butt handed to you on the street.
How did anybody get the idea she was a troll? The question was do any of u cross train boxing? She did not say that boxing was better than KF, so why not just answer the question?
Troll or otherwise, if its a KF related topic and invites discussion then lets flow!
I’m with Ap.
And to answer the question: My old man used to box in the Army. I bought a heavy bag, he helped me put it up, and I wrapped up, put the mitts on, shook my shoulders off etc, and tested it. Ok.
So then he showed me how to really hit it. Bam. Like a mother****er. Nearly 50 years old and he could bust my nose and several ribs before I even knew what was happening.
So while I’ve been unable to train Kung Fu I’ve been learning boxing combos from him. And drilling them is a good way of being able to defend yourself to a basic degree while still getting to grips with Kung Fu.
I know if I was in a fight I would not be able to use KF confidently. But take some of the skills I learned in KF and plus the combos I’ve been learning and I feel a lot safer than I did.
I will continue to train boxing combos until i am confident enough in my KF to let go of the Western style punching. And that means a lot more regular KF lessons!
Hi scotty,
Thanks for sticking up for me.
I don’t know what that jerk waterboy’s problem is!!??
He tries to pick on me about boxing knowledge and then
he leaves out the most important thing about a jab…the footwork!
Anyway,
I think alot of kung fu and karate would benefit from western boxing. From what I have seen, alot of them don’t know how to use their footwork with their strikes and alot of them don’t use their hips enough.
later,
Boxerchick
Why would you want to let go of the western style punching?
Well, for me, I would only use western style boxing as a way to increase my upper body strength. Being a girl, almost every guy in my kwoon has it over on me in that respect. And while my style depends much more on the precise use of body mechanics than on sheer muscle, having the muscle doesn’t hurt
As to using it in my arsenal, I don’t know that I would, because how you punch as a boxer seems to be in direct conflict with how you strike as a wingchunner. I would have to learn a lot more about western boxing. When I do my punching drills I work very hard to stay loose and throw the punch straight out from my centerline, not tighten up and push it out from my shoulder.
Boxerchick, footwork is imperative in wing chun. When we are in our prime fighting range (close, just like boxers), our footwork ensures three things: one, we control the precise distance to our opponent, two, we control our weight distribution to our advantage, and three, we can always use a leg as a weapon in that close range.
Boxerchick - yup, that’s exactly where it comes from. We move our body as though there were a pole going through the top of our heads straight down into the ground, and throw the punch straight out.
I LOVE IT!
