what do you guys think of kung fu?

[MonkeySlap Too]

I think Kung Fu would be a good idea.

Suggestion:

A new Forum: X vs. Y

Anyone new can go there to start the debate again if they
desire.

If there were one perfect style then we would all be studying it
as there wouldn't be any other styles to study.

I said it before and I'll elaborate a bit:

The bjj/mma mindset for training is a kick in the pants for cma.
A wake up call.

We are on one side of a pendulum swing and eventually
(hopefully) we'll see less bs and harder training from the cma
schools that aren't. This will hopefully be shown by a willingness
from cma practitioners to cross hands/roll with bjj/mma stylists.

I'm a cma stylist but I have to agree that the proof is in the
pudding. The bottom line is shown by WHO is competing in
mma comps. The percentage of cma fighters is low (maybe
MP or someone can furnish some) and unless I'm mistaken,
none of them are winning.

I dunno, may be too flowery...

Good for pointing it out, SevenStar. People should have a handful of specialties that they'd concentrate on (even modify to their own flavour). Realistic techniques for desired use - obviously it's not a good idea to have a phoenix eye technique as a ring sport specialty. Western boxing has a less broad range of techniques, because the rules inside the ring limit them.
