Brilliant demonstration of wing chun concepts!
Obasi's hands were down by his side most of the exhange with Botezpe, not much more you can say about that clip. Hands up,elbows in with the other two.
This is an interesting subject. The similarity between hsing yi and western boxing is in the use of "whole body power". They both emphasize this over all other fighting arts. They also prefer...
I plan to post the complete mi tsung i system and lineage to answer some questions about pure monkey kung fu styles. In my view, the monkey "antics" that are so prevalent in some monkey styles were...
Let's not forget mi tsung i, the lost track style, as a complete monkey system.

Saw the performance last week in Seiverville, TN. Very entertaining, great acting and shaolin kung fu.
Eye gouge/eye strike is in the essence of mantis applications. As much as people like to dis Wah Lum , they teach a basic form called 'eagle claw' which has a thumb eye gouge. The very last...
James Toney was a big disapponitment to be such a great fighter otherwise. In the prefight interviews he had total disrespect for MMA, and as a consequence was completely unprepared.He should have...
In my kung fu days in Denver, when a challenger came in, a student would fight the challenger first, if the student was beaten, then the teacher would fight the challenger. This also gave the teacher...
Looks to me like the challengers were thrown out without a fight taking place. Surprising none of the room full of witnesses haven't described what happened during the black out.

pa kua man is ****.thai man is ****.this fight is bs.
Good post as I have noticed this also and question if it is related to the use herbs in CMA such as gensing,fo-ti,di-da jow,etc...
In 2004,a fighter was killed here in the ring with an illegal forearm blow to the back of the neck. I knew this man and had trained with him so I am not kidding.
Let me break it down for the MMA guy.The mantis that I know would be illegal in the UFC,IFL,MMA ring world,thats why it has the long standing street reputation that it does.
No disrespect meant to other teachers of hsing i.
Learning slow and practicing slow are two different things. Seek out Di Guoyong if you want to learn Xingi Quan,otherwise waste your time.
Great post!IMHO the most common steet attack punch will be a 1.)right hook from a right foot forward 2.)right haymaker from a left foot forward 3.) left snapping straight jab from left foot forward....
I think you will find it very rewarding to go from kempo to mantis. Even though southern tiger is very evident in kempo, I have always thought that there were certain mantis elements in kempo. The...
Great issue for advertising Jet Li's movie ,but no info on Mi tsung i.The 16 principles are not mentioned,the names of the major forms are not mentioned,the names of styles merged with mi tsung not...
Sooner or later there will be some whiney girlfriend that thinks you're spending too much time in the gym.Cut them loose right away.
At 28 go for both the kung fu and tai chi. It will be the best investment you ever made.The contract is for you to commit to them in your own best interest. They are already committed.They hang the...
Kumar is a cryptic teacher of martial arts. Will waste your time.His books are better to complement any other instruction.
The pong lai beng bu dvd available on ebay is excellent.
Looks like two girls fighting except for the first punch.
