How do kung-fu guys fight?

The original post.

I guess it depends on who you are fighting. If you're fighting an experienced practitioner, I'd bet he's lightning quick and deceptive.

I sparred a practitioner of the tjimande system of silat and he was just that. The roots of that style come from southern chinese arts + silat.

To fight any other, one musy study the other

It really depends on guy. If it is good KF practioner, who spars very often, i don't see any reason why he couldn't beat boxer. Spar training is one of the most important things, becouse only that way you learn to fight.

I’m not too sure about other KF styles, but most internal styles develop several skills which can be useful in fights.

Generating greater power in less space - By meticulously training body alignments, that incorporate postural muscles (slow twitch) and sinew strengthening. Most MA's dont know much about using the sinews to load and release power, a good example of this sort of power is the way a kangaroo uses its legs to hop around, i.e. the explosive power comes mostly from the stretching and contracting of the sinews, like springs, as opposed to mostly contracting and relaxing fast twitch muscles. Slow twitch muscles can generate much more force than fast twitch, isolating them for training, i.e. learning how to coordinate them for use along with other muscles and sinews can generate much greater force that uses a lot less effort, thus greatly economizing on stamina. For those who don’t know what slow twitch muscles are, basically they are the group of muscles responsible for keeping you upright against gravity, they are very strong, and don’t tire as easily as the fast twitch muscles used for something like benching. Though fast twitch and slow twitch fibers are in pretty much mixed in all muscles. Specific knowledge is required to learn how to isolate, train and use slow twitch fibers.

Being able to switch techniques mid way, this is done by overcoming inertia by training circular movements within the joints and circular intent. This is particularly useful against boxers as this neutralizes their ducking an weaving quite effectively.

Being able to flow techniques in to each other, thus leaving no breaks for counter attacks. This is achieved by the above and learning how to flow from move to move in a circular manner.

Greater sensitivity, physical and visual - trained by working the nervous system, i.e. connection between the brain and external sensation, most MA's don’t know how to isolate this sort of training, though it is partly inherent in all MA's.

Being able to powerfully strike through various angles, uncommon to most MA’s, comes from above mentioned skills.

I've only fought kick boxers, out of the boxing types, and this was before I started doing internal MA's. But I have had my ass kicked by internal MA'ists incorporating the above mentioned methods, hence I am now trying to learn their ways. Very effective and very powerful, unfortunately though the majority of so-called internal schools don’t know what they are doing.

Any good boxer could do the same too. Hooks, especially shovel hooks, only need to travel a short distance to generate maximum power behind them. Feints allow you to switch techniques midway (i.e. hooking off a left feint), and boxing is all about combinations nowadays so you learn how to flow into each technique. Constant sparring gives you an awareness and strategy to analyze your opponent and exploit his weaknesses while finding out how he fights and your best defense against that. Those aren't unique to internal martial arts, many many martial arts have similar benefits.

Don’t really know much about boxing, but compared with the external MA's i used to do, the internal is quite markedly different in principle, training, was going to say application, but the application becomes natural to you, in other words you change the way you move internally, so it seems normal to you, but the results are different from before, or that’s what it seems like to me anyway.

Any ideas on how the boxers train the aforementioned skills?
