Reverting to Kung Fu

Re "MMA types" you have TWO different issues...

1. You have bad trainers, I know a lot of guys who have "done boxing" who when they come to my gym are HORRIBLE, I mean, they make me SICK

I don't attribute that to boxing, I attribute that to bad trainers.

2. The "fighting theory" issue is one of integration of skills. Is their "boxing" in line with their "kicking"? If they did just boxing the answer is no. If they did Muay Thai, it may be yes, but it isn't in line with their "wrestling"...

That doesn't mean the individual executions of individual techniques is so extremely radically different, it means their OVERALL structure is different. A hip throw is a hip throw, but it is different if you set it up off a jacket grip, off a "naked" (no jacket) clinch or off a punch!

Now, I feel one of my "strengths" is being able to relate the thoery behind the movement to those who just have the movemetn (ie explaining to some who wrestled in HS that his moves are this and that, sinking, breaking the daan tin, weighting, etc)

OR

Getting thos hopeless closet kung fu types to manifest a practical application of theory they had been fed prior to meeting me

So here’s the question. If I ‘reverted to Kung Fu’ in my kickboxing class, what exactly are all those CMA people we see on video reverting to if they’ve never trained kickboxing?

people that never really learned cma mechanics and stuff revert to kickboxing cos boxing/kickboxing/muay thai is something they always seen fighters doing on tv
its part of the unnconscious to put up a crappy boxing guard and bounce when fighting
it happens to cma people who do crappy cma
exepct sanshou people, who then do it on purpose or whatever
martial arts is fockid just like that

San Shou/San Da people do not "bounce", only people who know NOTHING about the sport try and make them out to be pansy point karate guys...

The footwork is much more like a bowling ball on a spring, it alternates between sinking and rising, ie the weight sinks and the spring of the legs pushes it back up so there is an equilibrium, a sort of yin/yang thing. That is actually a fairly traditional principle from TCMA

yin/yang my ass, that is MY old patterned bus ridding technique

Hey! I bounce. When I'm out of range, and I'm shaking off nervous energy in my legs and trying to stay loose. Never once have I bounced when in fighting distance, or when the opponent was coming towards me, or I towards them. And I never stall, I pick my time strategically and come in, even if the opponent is superior.

If you want to yin/yang your ass, please don't ask us to be involved

I have also learned to shake out your arms and bounce if you get a chance when you are hurt or tired in Muay Thai. I have also learned that you can rest both your hands on your jaw to rest, but cheekbones or eyebrows are better.
