Wanna see a fight?

I bet the black dude broke his hand if not his wrist as well. He landed a ton of punches to the white kid's skull.

o good stuff, good stuff! i like to watch funny video's like this b/c it does bring up a good point someone eluded to earlier, trainin...

whether ur a good western boxer, thai boxer, chinese boxer, college freestyle wrestler, BJJ practioner, etc... if u train properly, it will better prepare u to react to somethin like that(and yes i speak from experience on both sides of the spectrum). i would have to agree w/ truewrestler that the black guy woulda prolly taken out over 50% of the general MA community, however, i would attribute that to the fact that most people don't train for a "fight" like that, not b/c they don't have any grapplin skills.

quite honestly, that coulda been over before they hit the ground(and then got back up ) had one person had good enough timin(and not been so stupid to be so close) as the white dude gave the big obvious haymaker from a mile away. a well-timed, rooted, powerful and quick onslaught woulda done that, but since most don't train like that, situations like these continue to prove that MOST people don't train to fight! (tsk-tsk)

ATTN KFO: yes, i am a light-skinned black guy! i'm finally comin outa the closet... so yes, i do get a bit amused when i'm walkin through a mall and caucasion people grip their belongings tight around me, or pull their child to walk on the other side of the walkway, or any other ambiguous responses caused by a fear triggered by stereotype.. but hey, IT HAPPENS! however, this is hardly the place to discuss stuff like this.. plus i jus think of it more like, who cares?? and i continue to move on as i do every day..

Im goin to bed.

ur right, cuz noone TOLD him that the skull is the worst place to strike someone barehanded and he apparently never TRAINED that seriously. the average person doesn't even know how to throw a single proper punch w/o injure the hand/wrist/eblow/shoulder, much less utilize the waiste, hip, body, root(no internals here yet). how many true MA's actually even condition they're weapons and the structure that supports them? lack of conditionin will also leave u on ur @$$ if not trained properly. honestly, no more than 2-3 well-rooted, -placed,-time and rapid strikes(includin, kicks, knees, elbows) shoulda done the trick. if anyone can stand after i give them a few solid hits like that(and i ain't talkin some pu$$y-@$$ strikes!), then i revert back to the most basic thing i learned as a novice-to have fast feet to run! (maybe this kid should tried that first)

That video displays the reason for Iron Palm and wrist conditioning. That fool hit him and kicked him and didn't even break skin...pathetic

very

I remember seeing a fight clip years ago between a group of five or six against one. I assume it was halloween because the gang was dressed up as skeletons and they jumped this guy dressed as a shower or something. They beat him good. Towards the end of the fight they had to hold him up to keep beating him. Well some asian dude jumped in at the last minute and stopped the fight though. I think that guy used to be an extra on Lavern and Shirley or Happy Days years ago.

[Kristoffer]

wow

[rubthebuddha]

someone's padding his post count.

[Shaolin-Do]

Padding it makes it oh so soft and cushy though.
Like downey freshness.

[SevenStar]

Someone posted this clip almost a year ago - it's of RD and I at the last SC seminar. I'll try to find the thread.

[Kristoffer]

sorry, was just really bored

Not a fight? How many would be running home to post about the "fight" they just got in and how their skills saved their a$$ if it had been them?

Truewrestler, if you think a MA couldn't have cleaned that up real quick you have to start choosing better sparring partners ... no control, no power, no technique. What makes you say that? That he was black and wearing a dew rag? That guy was a skinny little $hit who went on a punching spree. He overwhelmed his apponant. Did a good job of keeping the pressure on, but come on.

That guy could maybe beat a form practicing hobbyist, but I don't consider them "martial artists."

Goes to class to socialize, be involved in asian culture, tell friends he does kung fu: hobbyist.

Trains, pounds it out, trades lots of blows; thinks that doing it harder and faster is the key: fighter

Has gained experince, refined his/her technique, and realise that mechanics and connections are the source of power, and continues to delve into that: martial artist.
