Kung Fu has always gotten a bad rap because critics claim that they haven’t proven it in UFC or Pride or any other events like them. Does anyone know of anybody who was a kung fu practitioner and did compete in either UFC, PRIDE, or something like that? If you do, could u please post their names.
Thank You
Andrew
No I can’t name any Kung Fu practioners.
Thats because there weren’t any.
it’s possible that Kung Fu just really Sucks
Yes thats it. Kung Fu Sucks.
Tinman,
I wasn’t asking about your opinion of kung fu, but rather if any fought in UFC. Grow up man, and find somewhere else to get your attention that you seem to need.
I’ll to go with Tinman on this one, kung fu just doesn’t hold up the way that karate does in the UFC.
.
Please leave.
Could you have beat Yip Man? Let alone many others who were just as good. Enough said.
Tinman
You are of course very correct in your accusation.
Infact thousands of people the world over are stricken with this disorder and its your solem duty to bring enlightenment to them.
This problem runs so deep that it has been around for thousands of years and over different times has had various intigators and conspiritors.
The Chinese of course all know and laugh at us silly white folk dancing around pretending to fight. Behind closed doors they all really train in BJJ.
This is becouse everyone realises that you always judge a book by its cover. Kung fu often looks silly to a westener hence it obviously IS silly. This is true also for the Chinese who believe that rolling around on the floor with a sweaty man in nothing but your underwear is a very appealing pass time. They love to look and feel plus fight like a dog, infact its a big part of there culture.
This is also the reason why so many traditional exponents rush to compeate in blood sport events for personal gain.
I mean just becouse your ancestors incisted on not even performing in public and keeping the arts for your personal health and defence. This doesnt mean you shouldnt run out and change the tradition to include beating people up on TV for money.
Man WHAT ARE THEY THINKING!
Im personaly willing to help, im going to go to my Bagua class tommorow and tell my my sifu who has studied Tai Chi for his whole life and has had it passed down in his family for generations that he is totaly crazy. I mean surely he should have known better, all the people he used to fight were just letting him win. As where the two young guys [he’s old but i cant figure out how old as he moves better than me] he grabbed red handed snaching wallets not that long ago, he must realise by now his arts dont work.
Im sure he will see the light and join me on my way to boxing classes.
Just incase…
This whole post has a sarcasm meter that is off the chart so please dont take it seriously:rolleyes:
D*mn Jon,

Big bad Jon!
Thanks, Jon!
I was going to sit here and write out a witty response to that mush above your post but now, what’s the point? Well said, sir.
John

Jon

reappah x-
do you think he was displaying the same sarcasm as the 900 other guys saying the same thing in a kung fu forum do day in and day out for the last year?
yeesh, how were you expecting people who have heard this small rant too many times to react to yet another incarnation of the same old dead horse?
hahahaha, now that’s funny
peace
Jason Delucia, Fred Ettish and that guy who fought in the UFC in Puerto Rico are the only ones I can think of off hand…
BTW Fred has a site with some techniques:

Kung Lek,
It seemed like humerous sarcasm to me, not anything harmful or anything like that. Perhaps people need to lighten up? ; )

My kung fu brother Joel sutton won UFC 6 and 7 doing 8 step praying mantis kung fu.
Actually it was deemed to bloodiest UFC in history.
He head butted his oppnent and then stuck his thumbs in the split forhead and ripped it open. Mike the referree stopped the fight.
I also hosted yoshiki takahashi from japan at my school where he trained for 3 weeks before the UFC that was schedualed for niagra falls but I guess he doesnt count becuse he is japanese and fights in the World pancrase…
I was thinking…someone asked if you could have beaten yap man.
In the wing chun book they talk about how he was a wing chun badass.
But I was thinking…he only proved himself against mostly other little chinese dudes…and mostly against ones who didn’t know kung fuey like he did. In fact, they said he got beat once by another wing chun guy, and then when he was a cop he grabbed a guy once and held on to him. Big deal.
So, even though he might know alot of good wing chun technique, there is not relative proof that he was a great fighter.
It just might be possible that there are any number of people on this forum, including myself, who could have beat yap man pretty easily.
