i’m reading around… mma.tv… sherdog… etc… everywhere they are bashing san shou… bashing Cung Le… saying the sport is boring… the rules are stupid(i remember the same being said for mma)… no one would pay for a PPV card… i understand that the sport is still young in the US… is the only way San Shou is gonna get respect is for Mike Norman to drop Duane Ludwig on his head… or Pat Barry to KO Carter Williams in Las Vegas… will san shou fighters only be able to make a name for themselves thru the MMA pipeline of KOTC… Ring of Fire and the like?.. i mean wtf?
Most the MMA guys are too busy with the ***** shaking in the arses to think about what they say before they say it.
Most kung fu guys are too.
Sh!t most peopl in general are.
:rolleyes:
Oh I know, I bash on TKD all the time. I gots a BB in it.
Although I will say, my TKD instructor was pretty d@mn good with his hands. Id like to go spar him again sometime soon.
IME people who bash other styles generally are ignorant to what they are talking about…
i love the “i’ve only seen Cung’s last 2 fights… san shou is boring… it has no good athletes…”:rolleyes: …
make .wmv clips of edited “non-boring” parts of fights with Pantera playing in the background.
Have your fighters who are hopped up on goofballs beat the crap out of lower tier mma and Thai guys.
Post the .wmv clips on different sites.
Use the clips as evidence of San Shou’s superiority.
Put mma down, and scoff at things like the “flying triangle”.
There you go, that’s the recipe to gain respect from mulletheads in the midwest who wrassled a little in high school, and were in a “backyard wrestling” video as the guy who lights the prop table on fire right before the masked kid drops an elbow from the second story.
get a clip of the 65kilo(i think) fight between the China B team fighter and the Korean kick boxing movie star dude at the 95 world wushu championships. That was the one of the most spectacular sanshou fights I’ve ever seen. I don’t know where you can get footage, but if you can post it.
Because San Shou/San Da is the PERFECT art to **** off EVERYONE
MMA guys are basicly zombies, they only know four things
BJJ is best on the ground
Muay Thai is best standing
EVERYTHING ELSE must “suck”
When confronted with evidence that contradicts the above, become Cleopartra, Queen of DENIAL
Look at everytime a BJJ guy gets smacked around and look at the excuses… They nearly had to be admitted to the emergency room for heart failure when the San Da guys TRASHED the Muay Thai guys…
The also have to be some of the dumbest bunch of geeks in the world today, basing an entire argument on ONE MATCH they saw
On MMA.tv a bunch of us listed guys Cung Le had KO’d. The Mongolian guy just KO"d a lumpinee Muay Thai champion IN THAILAND. The guy Cung KO’d in under a minute in Draka was a shootboxing champion who had also trashed a Muay Thai champion in Thailand. Arne that he fought in SHidokan is one of the best Kyokushinkai and Muay Tha fighters in the world.
One guy’s resonse was the old 5th grade “no it didn’t” argument. Since he hadn’t seen the matches, they didn’t happen, real genius :rolleyes:
As for the so called “traditional” crowd here, well, you’ve been here for it all. Basicly, a lot of it comes down to a fundamental denial that while they claim to be training to fight, they aren’t actually able to fight. Today, kung fu is literally the laughing stock of the martial arts world (another reason teh not so smart MMA crowd really HATES San Shou because they can’t comprehend a Chinese based martial art being good for fighting)…
The more intelligent MMA people are seeing San Shou as a legit martial art, the so called traditional people would like to have that respect directed towards THEM…
"Today, kung fu is literally the laughing stock of the martial arts world "
I have to take issue with that statement. I don’t frequent MMA.TV, so, I don’t count those freaks. I think actual, knowledgeable Martial Artists with a few years experience or more have a reasonable level of respect for Chinese Martial arts. As well, people who don’t have a clue other than watching Kung Fu movies from the 70’s, respect CMA. So who exactly are you referring to? I know that you wander in MA circles, who are you hearing this from? Or is it really a bunch of ex-highschool wrestlers??
what is “the martial arts world” and who in that world is laughing at Kung Fu?
please Osama don’t hi-jack the thread with the ‘tradtional’ mess again… the point i’m getting to is how can san shou get its respect?.. do we have to fight outside the comfort zone waving the the san shou flag and spitting on our downed opponent?.. do we just keep doing our own thing and hope someone like ESPN…MSG… Budweiser… comes along and finds it ‘interesting’ enuff to bank roll?..
and if THAT above isn’t interesting enuff for discussion… most kung fu school suck…
“Dog Brothers”
at quick glance i thot that was 'Dog-something else"
lmao @ calling him “Osama” for hijacking teh thread!
and you’ll forgive me if I didn;t knwo what the proper name of the full contact stick & knife fighting was. I know the Dog Brothers aren’t the only ones who train in that method but they were the ones that popped into my mind.
