    Kung Fu fight footage

    What is your opinon of this fight?

    I see good kicking, and some nice take downs. But I still see kick boxing footwork.

    Click on the first fight, upper left corner. there's more, but I want to talk about this one first.

    Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

    I don't think you will see much "kung fu footwork" in the ring. And as far as perry goes - he probably wouldn't use it anyway. He trained in kung fu for a few years - longfist, I think - and abandoned it all for san shou. Also, remember all of the crossover in there - there are kickboxing, tkd, etc. stylists that compete in san shou.

    True.

    I would like to find some online footage of real Kung Fu being used in the ring.

    As far as the footage I posted, I do see some good stuff, especially the take downs.

    exactly what kind of footwork is kung fu footwork vs kickboxing footwork?

    I reckon once you start throwing on the gloves and pads and working within the framework of the rules, most everyone will look like that.

    you know kung fu sucks, man.

    If you want to kick some ass you gotta be doing that mma thing.

    Royal Dragon: this might help

    try and find some videos of choy lee fut fighters from buksing and chan family branches competing in kickboxing/full contact kung fu tournaments in australia in the late 1980's early 1990's

    you should find what you are after if you can find any footage

    I don't have a sound card, but that light saber guy just looked dumb.

    Maybe it makes mre sense If I could hear what he is saying.

    As for the CLF links, do you have any links to those fights?

    I want to put some authentic footage of GOOD Kung Fu in live competiton on my site for viewers to enjoy.

    I was basically kidding

    all I have is poorly lit stuff from inside a dark school with really
    bad cameral angles, stuff used for training review purposes.

    although, it might not be a bad idea to see who's got what in
    their home video collection and if they would be willing to expose
    themselves before their peers. I bet that would be the hard part.


    people have a hard time taking criticism

    Oh, Ok. I wouldn't put myself up on my site either. Not right now anyway. I need to prefect my skills first.

    I'm really looking for GOOD authentic Kung Fu fight'n for my site.

    Everyone has forms, but I see very little acual fight footage.

    what I'm talking about is sparring sessions in school. my formwork
    is not anything I would ever show as an example of 'good' forms.

    and, YES (to everyone else) I fully realize that sparring isn't
    fighting.

    but, it would be kind of cool to have a forum where we could
    post clips of our training and open it up for critique.
