Moment of Neti-zen: Kung fu fan gets big ‘break’ on TV rumble

Kung fu fan gets big 'break' on TV rumble
A martial arts bout on a reality TV show ended with an unexpected kick on Sunday after the celebrity guest surprised his star-struck challenger with a serious blow to the ribs.
The match kicked off a debate online as to how kung fu films have softened audiences to the reality of real fighting.
Cao Yaguang, a champion sanda fighter (or Chinese MMA), ended the match on Tianjin TV's Xi Cong Tian Jiang, with a second round strike to his opponent, sending him to the canvas in pain.
His challenger, Yang Chengzheng, a self-professed super-fan of kung fu films, claimed he had been a student of Wing Chun for 20 years.
But Yang's decades of practice failed him after medics called off the fight for what they feared was a broken rib.
Despite the injury, Yang won the respect of spectators by insisting on continuing the fight.
Many netizens commented that Yang, an amateur, should not have faced the champion fighter, while many faulted kung fu movies for his injuries.
"Kung fu movies have misled martial arts fans and Yang is a typical example of that," a Sina Weibo user wrote.
"Kung Fu can only be used in performance but not a real fight," another online user said.

This is clearly a case of a professional fighter against a non-professional fighter. It's not a case of WC, or any kung fu system in general, sucking. If someone trains MA...really trains...then he/she already knows the difference between fantasy and reality. The only people dumb enough to think that kung fu movies reflect reality are those who don't actually train MA seriously, and who think life is like a video game or anime. The people who blame movies for making people soft are every bit as stupid. Then they should also say that watching romantic films (very popular among Chinese), comedies, dramas, war, sci-fi, etc. movies influence people to think they're real when they're every bit as fake.

Hi gang. This is a good time to catch up with y'all. Less than ten days after this post, I was involved in a terrible truck accident that left me in a PG hospital for a month with 7 broken bones including two vertebrae, peeled skin and a collapsed lung. In the weeks leading up to this, things were bad for me in other ways. So bad I sought the advice from a regular here who was very gracious with kind words. Thanks to that person. Now almost two years later I am fully recovered, to the puzzlement and amazment of my doctor. I credit the healing power of Wing Chun and daily SNT for my remarkable recovery particularly at over 50 years old.So grateful to be a me to serve the community again. I Don' t know how many lives this tiger has left but I'm hangin' on to them.
