According to one of my students friends who takes kung fu at a place the next city over. their school/teacher (not sure) says my school "teaches street thugs and brawlers to fight. and you spar against us you will get beat down." we train to fight application and point sparring as a drill, not this point sparring stuff you can never use as fighting.
they teach point sparring. we had some black belts from their school train with us a long time ago, and i was better when i was only doing it 2 years and they were doing it 5 years.
but i find it funny, cause its totally not what we are. they just talking trash cause the last tournament we were both at our guys swept through them easily i guess. LOL god i love my area, point sparring kings here. I might have to pay them a visit and settle it the old chinese way.
