Kung Fu in the movies

[Tant01]

Resistance is futile...

My reasoning is also sound. Eye gouges can be applied with different styles and in different positions. I can as easily strike his eyes as he approaches me, or tiger claw the eyes as he grapples me. The angles and positions will vary but the techniques can adapt to them.

As far as the "compression hold", when did I say that?

You didn't, I DID. Because as sure as ANYONE who has ever been in a REAL fight will KNOW, they aren't going to just let you kick them or poke them in the eye...

Your eye gouging techniques are much more REALISTIC if you're controlling the head...

That is all.

He'll never get it. It's just like talking to a brick wall isn't it?

That is all.

When an attacker comes towards me, and he is telegraphing his position, and his strike etc, it is not that hard to block it and walk over the bridge and strike the eyes, or to deflect it and strike at the same time he attacks. This is a very basic and effective technique.

And I agree that controlling the head is effective also, for setting up clawing attacks. But the element of surprise is also important.

Get what? What are you talking about. By the way a brick wall has a strong foundation and is not easy to break through.

[Ben Grimm]

My point exactly.

Here is an interesting perspective from a Hung gar master

TC, you do realise that these days a lot of movie-fu is wire-fu (wire work), don't you?

[TigerClaw]

Heres another fun one to watch. Remember the smaller man in this fight, the older man, is a real kung fu master. I know they are set up fights, but not alot of men can move this way. You can see his real life skill come out in the fight.

I know they are set up sights

No, apparently you don't.

[TigerClaw]

No, apparently you don't.

I'd like to see someone fight like that, even in a set up fight who doesn't know kung fu.

I like the dynamic action presence and speed of Bruce lee. But i like this older man in this film even more for his kung fu.

[JadeDragon]

Good morning all. I'm probably going to get bashed for this but I'm not a big fan of Bruce Lee movies. I like his kung fu though.
