    Does not look as powerful as a real gong fu sow choy,
    mainly because of his lack of relaxation and rooting…

    He showed the same punch to the guys when he was a coach on TUF. I brought that up when one of our resident MMA experts made the claim that swinging arm strikes are not effective. That sure looks like a swinging arm to me.

    If you know the purpose of the technique, then it makes sense. If you don't, then it looks like a wide, predictable swing...

    Hey you first, you'll see I had nothing of detrement to say about chuck he's one of the best at what he does, I just have to admit that I really don't get those long techniques and i'm sure he'd be the first to admit that even in mma they are of limited use

    Sow Choy's if done right can leave you in a world of trouble. don't EVER underestimate it.

    if you have never trained to use the sow choy....you can only speculate about its effectiveness. however, hung gar, wing chun, and other systems that i've shown the sow choy to....or how we use our sow choy.....left them ALL with a different APPRECIATION for it. but, hey, its not your thing. its cool. I hope you never get hit with one though.

    Sow Choy is STILL effective though. PERIOD.

    If the sow choy was ineffective in combat, it would have been left out, or evolved into something else. but i know from my own experience many people don't understand it.

    i'm happy i come from one of those chinatown schools. im confident in our material and how we use it.

    Yeah I can accept that and you're right I've tried those styles and they're not for me so i'll not pretend to be knowledgeable in that area, it's just that coming from a background of styles that aim to be standing on ya toes I just wonder how those long techniques are that effective outside of competition fighting.

    In the past, the sow choy has been responsible for the breakage of necks in real life combat. See, if you practice the LONG techniques long enough you'll come to know them pretty well. inside and out. you'll know that for one, there's a time to use them and a time NOT to use them. same thing goes for a kicker. a kicker would never kick you while you're fresh and able to reverse the damage on you.

    There is a saying in my branch about training the long techniques to have stronger shorter ones.
