nothing, it's a ring, everyone weighs about the same and is held to the same rule set.Originally Posted by HumbleWCGuy
the only way to stand out is to win and keep winning within the rule set. Then, eventually you won't win anymore and another guy will.
there is no life or death.
Kung Fu is good for you.

I think that one thing that stand out is that the kicking is has a good combination of speed and power. Somewhat snappy like TKD, but with some hip like MT. Also, I think that a lot of the San da fighters display a good transition between hands and feet. Meaning that a good bit of the time in MT, you will see guys either just kick in an exchange or just punch because they don't transition from one to the other as well.

where as heres sanda star cung lee absolutely not throwing single kicks and absolutely not throwing punch combinations without kicks....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kItU8sK7jgg id also like to say im impressd how cung lee uses snap kicks and doesnt roll his hips into his round kicks or really throw his weight into his side kicks...oh wait my bad he does

on a serious note to me what stands out is the use of some different techniques, side kick is seen alot and not something you see from thai guys, they seem to like to angle off a bit more, thais like to stand from on and trade, but then the are built like tree trunks lol
in sanda you see more throw and takedowns but whether that unique to tcma in the ring, or the rules they are fighting i dont know

It's a general trend not something that is necessarily inherent in one-fight or one fighter, certainly not a highlight clip. Stop being a baby because your knife fighting is crap and you got powned so now you want to cry. Cung le uses a lot of TKD so... Shut up.
If I am going to compare a Kung fu kick to MT, it is less committed so it allows for better follow up. MT's especially of the traditional variety bring a lot more force with their kicks usually dropping the hands and committing the entire torso to kick which prevents a lot of follow-up. If you would have trained well enough to actually become an instructor in TCMA, you wouldn't be running through youtube trying to make stupid comparisons that you know nothing about.

I said:
You sarcastically said:
Since the tread topic is about TCMA and my comment concerned TCMA kicking, it is quite clear that you think that Cung Le, performing San Da, does kicking that is representative of TCMA. Cung les round would be more indicative of MT.

Are you implying Kung Fu only works if it has a weight, size, weapon advantage?
Rules vary. If one wants to fight with no rules there are professional (paid) venues for that as well.... but you will need a visa.
This is somewhat true. Consistently winning is how you stand out. Ironically, I have a harder time consistently winning in the cage, my record is better in BJJ. With that said, the better you are, the more well known you are, your opponents collect video. Study your tendencies. See what you like to do....when you have 15 Main Event fights in national TV, people tend to see your style, way of fighting.the only way to stand out is to win and keep winning within the rule set. Then, eventually you won't win anymore and another guy will.

Nobody wins them all. This says something about the level of competitors. Its also why people train hard, adopt. Are eager to learn new things. Bring in outside experts for a different point of view
With all this said, check out Jacare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHD067Gx7hw
I love this guy's style. He's a stand out in open/all weight class division on an international level. He wins because he's extraordinary.
To say there is no life or death in combat sports is not accurate. People die fighting for sport. More people are injured. And everyone gets hurt.... there are consequences. And you should respect that. ... you blow off and are too quickly to make light of the level of commitment and sacrifices martial artists make to acquire what it takes to enter that ring or cage or mat or tatami, etc.
Not only are these men and women dedicated martial artists, they tend to be the best at any given camp. They're the extraordinary ones..... the military goes through great pains to debrief their personnel when they get back from a live mission. There is value there. ... you toss it aside and devalue it for what reason?

They get knocked out and/or avoid ring fighting which makes more room for better fighters. If a tcmaist ever fought in the UFC I would not buy that ppv.
