Kung fu vs. MMA

[Musicalkatachmp]

On saturday, one of my training buddies from my kung fu school fought in MMA (King of the Ring)...he took the fight on only a few hours notice when the guy's opponent didn't show...he pulled off one of our techniques before the guy got him to the ground...he was doing a good job of keeping the guy close to him and not getting hit...even had a headlock/choke attempt...he got submitted in some crazy move I had never seen before and I watch UFC...but anyway he did really good for taking the fight on such short notice and he's a kung fu guy, so I thought it was cool...

Pics, please? Or better yet, video?

I just e-mailed the promoter to ask for a copy of the fights, unfortunately we were unable to tape it...but we might have pictures online tomorrow...

Yah but you forgot to mention kung fu destroying muay thai. ;)

congrats again man, shame you guys didn't stick around longer.
see yah back at the gym

[Musicalkatachmp]

Thanks for all your help man...all that padwork really paid off...sorry we had to bust outta there so soon but I'm still not at the point where I can fight and do something else in the same week....to much nerves I guess...

[Pork Chop]

Well I don't think I saw you puke afterwards, so that's an improvement at least. :)

Nah, I completely understand u guys takin off.
One beer was hitting you both way too hard.

This event was a good opportunity to see exactly how much the coach/support guys gotta do to get their fighter to the ring.
I can imagine how Dave woulda done if he had to run around and take care of all that stuff by himself. Have a new appreciation for Julio; and am wondering if we should start sending additional people along to help out.

edit: anybody seen my headphones?

[Musicalkatachmp]

Yeah...on the 29th I will try to get some people to come help...Dave will probably come if he can, he was pretty pumped up he said hes gonna start training his @$$ off...and maybe some people from my one of the kung fu schools can come help out...we can talk to Phil too...

I will check all my stuff tonight and look for the headphones...I have your ironman and rollins CDs...

[Suntzu]

Phil has never traveled with us before...... plus someone has to watch the gym....... and thanks for the help E....... it would have been he|| trying to handle both of them..... pics tomorrow....

These responses are so close together. Was this whole thread made by one person?

Until my post, I mean :)

[Pork Chop]

No, but 3 guys who train together.
'Cept for CSN, he's just some stinky Austin drag rat. :p j/k

[red5angel]

awesome, good to hear about some KF guys getting in the ring for a change.

[Chang Style Novice]

Hey!

I'm panhandling on Sixth Street now. The competition on the drag was too heavy.

smart idea
business men during the day time
drunk people at night
hey, courthouse is pretty close by
so i think the competition would be HEAVIER there... no?

[Starchaser107]

cool,
what style of kung fu?

[Chang Style Novice]

Man, isn't it enough that my jokes aspire (most often without success) to being funny? Do they have to make sense as well?

[Musicalkatachmp]

what style of kung fu?

The style of kung fu is known as Tien Shan Pai...there have been some articles in inside kung fu about it recently...
