[Violent Designs]

Always cool to see kids sparring.

and with kids you are referring to what or whom in the video you posted?

just curious.

[Violent Designs]

The guys fighting looked like kids (like maybe 16, 17). I dunno just stating what I see. You know how old they are? Feel free to correct I'm not mean to offend people.

I'm a CLF guy that is very nice clip.

One of the best things about the clip was probably the music. The sound effects after each hit were a nice touch as well.

CLF applied is always interesting. However, they reverted to some kickboxing a little in the first round with the knees and then in round 2 with a take down attempt...unless the rules stated that was ok?

[Violent Designs]

Dude, WTF , why is throwing jab and cross and knees, kickboxing?

Does CLF not have cross? jab? hook and uppercut?

Are you saying CLF has ｎｏ　Ｋｎｅｅｓ？

Sorry but CLF REAL fighting, is not like forms.

Hi everyone,

This video is one of many fights that took place mainly between Finnish Tang Lang and Chan family CLF. A few Baji guys were also in the mix.

The rules were basically Tang Lang intermediate free-sparring (ZhongJi Sanda) rules.

Tapani and Antti (the guys in the posted video) are both adults and definitely well passed 16-17 years of age. :)

Most of the "senior" Tang Lang people in Finland have a quite substantial background in CLF. I say "senior" because we are all beginners in TLQ since the art has been in our country for only a small number of years.
