Most of the Kung Fu I have seen relies very heavily on the intercepting and or jamming of an attack and an immediate counter attack... the least space and amount of movement required to deliver power, the better.

I enjoy this technique and find scoring very easily against more "traditional" boxers and kick boxers. The "problem" is, knock outs are not very likely against a fresh, eager fighter. AFter a few engagements, the element of surprise has been lost. And if it was an MMA fighter, not only would he have clinched you, he would have thrown you or at least wrestled you to the ground. At that point, if he has Jiu-Jitsu and you don't, you are at the mercy of his response to your tap or the swiftness in which the referee can come save you.

It's the truth.
