My student (wearing all black) enters his first Tat Mau Wong tournament since becoming my student and gets robbed. but, he landed a lovely Kwa Choy Sow Choy combo. LOL
yet another example of why “point fighting” is absurd and useless
yeah, its time for some san da…unfortunately its all we got out here in sf.
a BIG PART of the transition for us into full contact was “how the f–k are we gonna kahp and bin and so people in point”? And "why even bother with having to HOLD BACK?
Like I said, point is meaningless
whaaaaaaat? I mean, C’MON, he barely contacted the guy, grazed off the headgear, the guy fell because he lost his balance, not because he got hit hard - not surprising he fell, he moved like a pregnant yak (wait, where have I heard that before…); I can’t believe that he got disqualified, what a rip - total BS, and as Ross said, underscores why point fighting is just a waste of time
I totally agree…my student spars my classmate no holding back…but they had that it to mix it up. but i believe we wasted our time aside from getting some positive comments from GM Vince Lacey who was hanging out.
San Da/san shou is the way to go. im going to look into who runs any competitions out here.

you don’t even do kung fu, why would you worry about using kahp and bin, you sell-out…
This is my students first match

MORE INSANITY - he pulled every friggin tech he threw, if he hadn’t he would have KO’d the guy!!!
now this is martial arts, we wouldn’t want anyone to get hit or anything :rolleyes:

yeah, lol, what would be the point of THAT?
They DQ’d him for hitting too hard?
As we all know… people in the street don’t hit as hard and stop when you get hurt :rolleyes:
These kinds of tourneys are epic fail material anyway.
There’s really nothing other than that in SF?
Man, that stuff sucked in the 80’s, the 90’s the 00’s and it’s still sucking ! lol
You guys should have come to texas this year! There was choy lay fut everywhere. And some really solid sanda fights. I’ll post my students first fight here once i get it up on youtube.
Anyway your student looks pretty solid, enter him in sanda where he belongs
i think Tat Mau does hold San Shou matches now, but will look into it. I was flabbergasted at the rules of this tournament. they even said "any blood spilled, accident or otherwise is an IMMEDIATE DQ.
I do look forward now towards San Shou/ San Da fighting. Like everyone’said, it fits CLF more.
thanks for all of your input folks.

bwahahahaa! That’s amazing!
did they consider just opening a daycare instead? 
Even when my student lightened up he was still using to much force. to tell the truth my cat hits harder than what the judges were allowing.
they really should eliminate this type of fighting in a tournament and just go sanda all the way. i mean the wing chun guy sparring my classmate was just playing patty cake with him. seriously. the judges said “we’re not counting your strikes, but we are looking for the most dominant fighter”…ok…so tell me again WHY my student lost? :eek:
its a shame, so many fighters got DQ’d that day. Looking back, im embarrassed with the thought of “did i hurt you just now? are you ok?” type of sheet!
WE’RE GUNG FU PEOPLE, WE BRUISE ON THE INSIDE!!!
Here is an clip of my student and his sisook sparring getting ready for the tourney you guys just watched. they hit each other harder in sparring at my place than the tat mau wong tournament.
my student has made big improvements since the filiming of this clip…but positive comments and criticism are still welcome.
You can brush someone’s lip and draw blood. Am abrasion from a glove, a glazing kick, all can cause some type of bleeding. I have bled every time I have done any sort of combatives training. Usually the lip or somewhere on the face. Don’t get me started on the clinch drills… battered, bruised, and bloody after that incident.
Unless you cut an artery, spilling blood is actually a minor incident. I can see a quick stop to make sure the guy is alright… but a DQ? Not right at all.
Maybe they shoud start having the bouts with both fighters in plastic bubbles, and count points when the judges think someone might have gotten hit by a technique?
Face it, point sparring is one of the most glaring exmples of how logic and reality have left the building in TCMA. Frank’s student barely touched the guy and they DQ’ed him. Isn’t is supposed to be “sparring”? Better yet, isn’t is supposed to be CHINESE MARTIAL ART SPARRING? Let me guess, no sweeps, no catching the kick, no throws. Were low kicks even allowed?
What you have there is an exercise in masturbation without the happy ending!
