Train Hard, Compete Fair, Fight Dirty: MMA vs. Hung Ga Kyun (Video)

Well said.
I would only add that sport combat systems and fighters KNOW all the dirty tricks of their trade.
Any good boxing coach can teach a bunch of "dirty moves" while you are in the clinch ( like "cuff rubbing") and every boxer is taught how to "accidentally" head butt and thumb the eye with a jab.
As for MMA, we shouldn't forget that it was born of "vale tudo" and under those "rules" everything went and what did we see?
The "bread n butter" techniques that win fight today, won the fight back then too.

Thanks for posting the Master's insights on knowing the enemy, without such knowledge you will have eyes that do not see.

Was going to write a quick little review, but then saw this has already been covered above in this thread.

So just say, really enjoyed this little book.
Alot more photos would of been good, but that's just me being greedy.
It was a enjoyable afternoon read for just $10, Only about 50 pages in .pdf format and recommend it.

Maybe he can write an expanded more detailed book version someday similar to Sugong: Nick Hurst,s The Life of a Shaolin Grandmaster.
