It’s San Da, but they’re wearing Shaolin pants. I suggested we use this as evidence anytime TCMA’s credentials are questioned.
Save it to Favorites.

Good for the Hungarians for keeping it real.

Here’s another video I found while searching, I think this was in Liverpool. Shame that we can’t have this type of tournament fighting in the States instead of crappy point fighting. Also, got to love the stupid comments saying, “Where is the Hung Gar, I just see kickboxing”:rolleyes:. Sound familiar.
So, out of curiosity, do we have ANY videos of full contact fighting that DOESN’T look like “kick boxing” ??

When your only perspective of gong fu is western bastardizations of marginal southern styles then you deserve to get right grafted like some bloody Yank buying London Bridge.

when i do forms, i wear magic shaolin pants like in the video. this allows me to maintain the connection to the ancestors of the one true source of martial art skill.
it’s the magic pants i tell you. if you don’t believe me look what it did for shinya aoiki:

A form is an idealized expression of a technique/movement. Thats all. You would no more “do a form when fighting” than you would order a sandwich in prose or haiku.
If you want to see “the kung fu” look at the footwork, the choice of entry, positioning, strategy. Did he actually block something without using his face? Not just whether or not it looks like a movie. People who are expecting to see choice stances held for pictures after a strike are completely deluded.

If there is no “kung fu fighting” then how can one say “that’s not kung fu, that’s kickboxing”?
I didn’t say there was no kung fu fighting. I’m saying people don’t know it when they see it. They’ve been in compliant technique land too long.

Which means there are videos of authentic kung fu fighting?
We just have to know what to look for, right?
