Grappling vs. Striking in streets

[samekh]

Please explain...

[Thai Bri]

Because most people who think "Kung Fu sucks" were Bruce Lee fans, enrolled in a Karate school, and were too far along before they realized that Bruce Lee never did anything BUT KUNG FU...

Do you know anything about Bruce Lee? He MOVED ON from Kung Fu and developed his concept of Jeet Kune Do. Studying many many other arts in the process.

Like Boxing, Judo, Wrestling, Fencing, Thai Boxing etc. etc. etc.

If anyone is an advert for Kung Fu being lacking, it is Bruce Lee.

Bruce Lee is from KungFu and ends up in KungFu.......

review all his Movies and all his Instructional VCD's are all KungFu.... all arts that he prioritize are all KUNGFU......

Note:
Do you want to know the reason why Bruce Lee is always in KungFu?????

Answer:
because when Bruce Lee fights, he is not a Human Dummy kind of fighter, what i mean is - Bruce Lee doesnt use his Face or Chest just to block opponents punches or kicks......

OK??????

[HuSanYan]

OK Celestial

Its stupid to wrestle with a street thug better to hit hime and run fast

You can't just hit someone and get away. If someone were to pull a knife on you; Would you rather punch him in the wrist and hope he drops his weapon, or would you grap and control his weapon? If you are planning on controlling his weapon you will have to know basic grappling, they will try to take you down.

If you have two really aggressive people charging at each other, they usually punch and kick till they get close enough to grab. Once they grab they will try to choke, throw the other person off balance to stomp them, or hold them and punch them. They will keep moving forward hoping to run over the other. It's very hard to hurt an aggressive fighter with just strikes...you have to have more. Most grapplers dont want to go to the ground...they want to put the other person on the ground.
Little kids grapple long before they learn how to punch or kick effectively. Grappling is very instinctual. A martial art that does not prepare you for grappling is incomplete.

Hitting someone is easy, but controlling them is much more difficult.

Ah so the cuts on his face and chest weren't because he tried to block them with that part of his anatomy

Go figure
BTW I supose Iron-shirt training isn't real Kung fu then, nor is Shaolin training at the monastary, I saw them being hit on the head all the time to harden it, seeing that that is a form of human dummy, it can't be real Kung fu, can it?

so you see???? even thou how advance Bruce to use his forearm blocking, still his opponent hit him, ....... and more worst if he doesnt use his forearm blocking, intercepting, evading, neutralizing, etc.......

this is one of a very good question....

What you mean is all about AngKa KungFu...... many call it Arhats, or Lohans KungFu........

you know, they also emphasize Forearm blocking with opponents forearm cause they dont use thier face to block opponents punches..... but this is one of their specialty is their IRON BODY....... that whenever they missed forearm block your hand attacks.... they still have their Iron Body as an added shield to their advantages......

but in ChiDianBun, the only way to defeat this AngKa KungFu's IronSkin is the use of the Phoenix-Eyed-Fist of ChiDianBun...... target at the left side of the opponent's solar plexus, target at the eyes, target at the groin, target at the adam's apple, target at the temple, target at the etc.....

while GoCho KungFu or WingChun KungFu, they will use "Iron Palm" instead of phoenix eye of ChiDianBun, just to overcome those IRON BODY of AngKa KungFu.....

My instructor teach me before the art of AngKa's IronSkin Training but i did not reach 1month i really quit that kind of KungFu art cause my body cant withstand the pain, i cant make it..... its so very painful that i cant....

Dude, Bruce Lee was Chinese and thus was tied to his chinese roots. He said that some Chinese arts were lacking, but his main base was always CMA.

[HuSanYan]

Dude, Bruce Lee was Chinese

No he wasn't

Yau kung mun has iron palm, iron body, phoenix eye

Probably is for you.

Dude, I was kidding, Bruce used what looked good on the screen, JKD din't look that good, the only thing close to JKD were the tower fights in Game of Death ( could be called els in your aerea)
Personally I don't like his movies that much, he only get hit himself in the last fight

this is one of a very good question....

I wouldn't know but if I see a docu about the Shaolin monastary I see them doing things to be able to resist hits

you know, they also emphasize Forearm blocking with opponents forearm cause they dont use thier face to block opponents punches..... but this is one of their specialty is their IRON BODY....... that whenever they missed forearm block your hand attacks.... they still have their Iron Body as an added shield to their advantages......

Guess what that is also true for those are you and your teacher call human dummy
Lets take that you train so that your best oponent gan hit you with his hardest technique without doing any damage at all, guess what impact it would have in a match to let him hit you like that and you just smile, at once he will know he can't defeat you

Bruce Kung Fu not fake Kung Fu. Bruce Kung Fu was real.
Came from Hong and came from Kong to fight the real deal.
Lived with dad who htought him bad, and lived with his old mummy.
He fight with his brain and feet and not be human dummy.

Ratio to horatio twenty two to two, ratio to non Kung Fu.


Note:
Bruce did Boxing, Fencing, Wreslting and Thai. He did them in Kung Fu way. Now they ARE Kung Fu. Real not fake convinced?

[Tameo]

Most of what Bruce Lee did was WC. Not muay thai, not boxing but WC. More than 70% of his style is WC.
