[QUOTE=sanjuro_ronin;1058903]Nah, if you can make a video to make your point clear or even prove your point, why not?
It has zero to do with ego and everything to do with sharing, the reason one assumes most people are here for anyways.[/QUOTE]
Yep, the really good training vids, regardless of fighting style are great for examining the World of MA. The Masters (undisputed) over the years have allowed the public to see and even understand, based on individual interest, their skills and philosophies at first in manuals and now DVD’s and Youtube. Priceless!
After you have a full time job, wife and kids to feed, house mortgage to pay, you just can’t afford to walk into the ring and take chance to be punched hard on your head everyday. You start to take easy on your sparring and your training will step away from combat reality.

That is why you do it when you can, young perferably since we heal faster, LOL !
And you KEEP that knowledge of what works and why and how, even when hard sparring and competition isn’t an option anymore.
That reminds me of a Vietnamese guy I knew for a while in the early '80s. He was about late 30s or so, looked younger than his age, and said he had practiced some type of combat art in Vietnam before and during the war. I don’t remember hearing a name for the art, but he said it included knife/stick, as well as empty-hand. He said the knife training was done with live blades.
He trained very little anymore, mostly some self-practice of empty-hand movements and had not sparred regularly in years; but when a couple of us wanted to spar him, someone always got hurt, and it wasn’t him. His movements appeared very awkward/sloppy, but he was very difficult to hit and when he did something back, it was accurate and hurt like he!!. It seemed very effortless on his part. He’d mentioned his training was from an uncle or someone, and that the practice had been very hard. I can only assume that he retained those experiences even though his hard training days were behind him.

yeah i was vague about why i said ‘youre joking right’… but that was a different thread… and was in response to those two particular videos… and no i dont speak chinese…
i can think of a ton of illegal moves in sport that are effective, most of us here who have ever actually fought can… i can also think of a ton of ways to hide and camo weapons for use in suprise attacks or just to have available in a pinch… again, anyone whos ever fought in the street can probably make the same claim… theres nothing particularily impressive about a guy who attaches something to his shoe… thats the kinda sh1t you see on tv…
as for kungs, sure, im all about strength and conditioning, like i said before, whether thats flipping tractor tires then hitting it with a heavy sledge for awhile, carrying around a kettle bell, slapping water out of a barrell or climbing a mountain on your hands and feet like a monkey…
[QUOTE=GeneChing;1058945]Jazz vs. Classical indeed. Whether you play jazz or classical, you still got to know your scales. Scales are your kungs.[/QUOTE]
WORD! i like that… well said…
saying mma fighters dont do strength and conditioning exercises is just retarded…
you do know i was agreeing with you right?[/QUOTE]
If I mis-understood you then I apology. :o
Many years ago onetime I told my ex-girlfriend, “I love you.” She said, “Just words.” Since then I have always associated “word” with “blank statement - words that have no true meaning”.

There are “direct Kung” and “indirect Kung”. Both TCMA and MMA have indirect Kung training such as the weight bar. The indirect Kung will make your body strong so your body can perform well in general.
The direct Kung training may not make your body strong but it can help you to enhance certain skill. The TCMA has a lot of those special equipment training methods. The following exercise does not build big muscle on your body, but it will help you to develop certain skill.

A friend of mine put a metal piece in his boots (ankle area). It gives him great advantage for his roundhouse kick. He also carry hand gun 24-7 (he has gun license). That’s true “warrior” spirit IMO.

nah lol… saying WORD is the easy way of say “yes i totally agree”… its a B-Boy thang… sorry, sometimes i just assume people understand urban slang…
“Word” is the shortened form of the phrase: “my word is my bond” which was originated by inmates in U.S. prisons. The longer phrase was shortened to “word is bond” before becoming “word,” which is most commonly used. It basically means “truth.” Or “to speak the truth.”
“Yo, I fukced twelve b!tches last night.”
“Word?” (“You speak the truth?”)
“Word.” (“I speak the truth.”)
ofcourse the author is gonna be some knuckle dragging white college boy with a giant rope chain his mom bought him for grad…
there are tons of two man drills in wrestling aswell as mma… TONS… and there are “kungs” of all sorts… depends on the camp… not all mma or wrestlers train the same ways… but trust me, some camps have all sorts of tried and tested “kungs” up and down the spectrum… you should check it out, they are very often quite comparable to tcma kungs… infact im sure some are taken from tcma and or copied and maybe modernized with all the new gear we have access to now… elastics for example…
so tell me… when a wrestler flips a tractor tire that stands 5 feet tall up and down some field, is that a direct kung?
how about when a defensive tackle pushes the sled across the field with coach standing on top yelling obscenities??? is that a direct kung??? it sure develops a specific skill… even if it does enhance general stamina and stregnth…
or are none of these kungs because they werent created in china by some monk or villiage peasant folk hero???
mma has kungs man… alot of them…
straight up…
look it up… true story
and this is comming from somebody who has always had a love for tcma and still practice to this day… even if i do other stuff aswell… it hasnt tainted me, its expanded my horizons and made me a better fighter and a better athlete in general… im also a B-Boy for life and spent the first decade and a half of my life in a gymnastics club… i know kungs, from all aspects of all my passions…
