There is some debate as to where Shaui CHiao got those moves, with some argueing that they came from Judo, to which the early 1900's chinese MA were exposed to by the japanese.
This Judo is where BJJ came from by the way, so the question isn't "kung fo or BJJ" but more correctly:
Kung fu submissions and BJJ, same origins?
Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
Egyptian BJJ out lineages them all!!!
Grappling, older than the hills on grannies chest and twice as dusty !!
Of course some of those pictures look more like the Kama sutra than MA, LOL !
Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
aye... wrestling/grappling has been around as long as people have. I would consider it the oldest style.Grappling, older than the hills on grannies chest and twice as dusty !!

This:
is from approx 1550 BCE
boxing.... it's old too.
Kung Fu is good for you.
roots are interwoven in human history.Many people seem to be under the impression that Greek Pankration influenced Kalarippayattu, though there are references to other arts prior to it, dating back to 2nd c. BCE.
Pankration, frankly, is not known today. The revival form of the art is known to be considerably different from the original art practiced throughout the Helenic States... Further, it is predated itself by boxing (pygmachia) and wrestling (pale), which, again, have roots as far back as Sumeria (2600 BCE).

I must have missed the previous discussion on it.
no biggie, just stating I remember commenting on the photos and as Ronin stated there was discrepancies towards them and the originality of them is all i remember.

KUNG FU USA
www.eightstepkungfu.com
Teaching traditional Ba Bu Tang Lang (Eight Step Praying Mantis)
Jin Gon Tzu Li Gung (Medical) Qigong
Wu style Taiji Chuan
Teacher always told his students, "You need to have Wude, patient, tolerance, humble, ..." When he died, his last words to his students was, "Remember that the true meaning of TCMA is fierce, poison, and kill."
I don't recall the previous discussion ...what's the source of the photos and what kf style are they associated with?
My first kf instructor had the glyphs on the wall of the school.....presented as proof of the kemetic origins of fighting arts ......
