I thought I’d start a thread to share video clips of fights (real or not), so that we can see what’s out there. Here’s my contribution. Royce Gracie vs. 450lb Sumo wrestler.

Oops, I was thinking in Spanish/Portuguese. I’ll go back and edit it.
Phil
wrong name
You mean Royce and the BLOB with absolutely no hitting skills whatsoever
This is indicative of what some street fights are like.
There is foul language on this clip.

Exactly no skills.
Over committed punching.
Dropping hands when they attack.
Wild flailing arms.
No power generation from the ground.
No ground skills.
Laughable.
This is why you keep your hands up.
In TKD,they always have their hands down and feet up!..
And I used to do that stuff about 20 years ago!..

It depends on which federation they belong to. In the Olympic style (WTF - interesting acronym ) they are training for sport and looking for points. Since punching to the head is illegal :rolleyes: , and more points are scored for kicks in general, and kicks to the head, then this is how the sport has evolved.
Like OJ, I used to do TKD, and I know some of these guys can really kick hard. If you know what to do, they are also easily defeated.
The ITF is the other federation and it is a lot more “traditional”.They are more like Shotokan,witch was the true origin of TKD,whatever they might say it was founded by Lucy 4 millions years ago in the australopithecus era!
Basicaly,they punch more and use standard karate types blocks.They also have kata designed for belt levels.
Now,I want to see some gals fighting in jell-o!..
That was great! That kid kicked the sh*t out a the other guy…

The hands stay down because of the WTF rules. If the the kick hits the hands and lands it’s considered an ineffective block and the kicker gets the point. WTF fighters score by trembling shock so it’s safer to use movement instead of hands. It’s a sport guys.
Phil, you should have added the rule that posters can only criticize if they post a video of themselve fighting or sparring. And chi sau doesn’t count.

I personally admire those kids for their ability even though it isn’t WC

I got this off of Bullshido. Its “Exteme” TKD.
This clip is very large. It is also very interesting.
Interesting clip
From the Kung Fu forum
“Short clip from the film “Blood on The Sun” Circa 1945 starring James Cagney. First time America got to see asian martial arts in a hollywood feature.”

Look for the post from Kung Lek. The clips reads ‘Cagney Do’

Ha! Ha! I remember that one!..But I think the movie “Tokyo Joe” with Humphrey Bogart is even older.
It featured A secret agent using Ju-Jitsu (Jap!) in his work and the original “Kato” idea:His Japanese assistant instructed to attack him randomly for training.
BTW,isn’t it ironic that after this awesome Judo display,Cagney is put out by a simple karate chop?.. Hollywood?..
