The LukSao is a completely artificial construct.. (that's the steering wheel Dale )
Beyond that, while T would say it is all unrealistic, I would say not really except that you are dealing with Chunners playing by Chunner's rules... Boxers do that too...
Once you get past the LukSao you see people continue into GorSao.. Again, the only thing 'unrealistic' about this is that you have Chunners playing by Chunners rules... Boxers do that too... So do BJJ-ers..
BJJ folks are working to perfect their moves against other BJJ people.. No shock there.. Likewise there should be no shock that Chunners are doing the same thing...
All too often the problem for the chunners comes in application....
Why?
Because in order for the Chunner to play his game he needs to be in his range and to be safe you have to break their structure...
The BJJ folks have more or less an easy time of getting this done.. They take you down..
For the Chunners to get into range, and break them down takes a bit more doing, especially against good outside fighters... Also, when closing range the chunner is still vulnerable to a variety of attacks that they would not have done in the classical training.. And while this is also true for the BJJ guys, they are safer IMO because they are on the ground where they are light years ahead of someone without any grappling experience.
Nevertheless the similarities are there because you have two people each working their art's particular moves against someone doing the same thing.
