    LOL! Mat, that would probably be because... well, that's what it was... Many Kung Fu practitioners in 50s/60s Hong Kong were rather "clannish" and seemingly concentrated on their own specific art.

    Aaah, the inexorable logic of the blatantly obvious!

    What I was rather hurriedly implying was that he didn&t use many techs, just punches, some very badly balanced kicks and leaving his hand out in a very static man sao... and didn&t seem to use much of the sticking principles. Again, before people jump down my throat, I&m well aware that you don&t need lots of fancyshmancy techs, and it&s difficult to see how effective his strikes and those terrible-looking kicks were.

    And in the end, I&m saying imagine what a bomb shell a devastatingly simple tech from another style, like a shoot or a teep/roundhouse to the ribs would have made to this fight. Or some of the devastatingly simple close-range stuff of his own style, like any number of takedowns, or fat clinch and elbows/headbutt.

    It would have been interesting to see the rest.
