Thanks uncle B.S. Obviously, they apply to both Dale, that is my whole point, but the way that Kung fu fighters are trained they don't always realize it. One is for empty hand and one is for weapons. They also don't realize the usefulness of their legs to help get the job done. I am sure that you don't either since your just practiced "steroid MT."
Need we pull the Rashun video again so that we can see how you cut people off?
Really Dale your complete lack of knowledge about Kung Fu and your willingness to speak on it are just incompatible.
Speaking of b.s. Do they apply to both or is one for empty and one for weapons? Which is it?
Sure, we can also post vid with full contact weapons fighting also. But let's first post the clips of you demonstrating how you cut people off in a non-restrictive space with and without with weapons.Need we pull the Rashun video again so that we can see how you cut people off?
I don't agree with the idea that boxing does not have as much footwork as Gung-Fu. Boxing has a very developed footwork. It is so much more than simply shuffling and sidestepping. There are angles, step-throughs, direction changes, switch-steps, scramble steps, etc and varied patterns of movements.
People who claim this, haven't studied boxing.
"My Gung-Fu may not be Your Gung-Fu.
Gwok-Si, Gwok-Faht"
"I will not be part of the generation
that killed Kung-Fu."
....step.
Ummm... the whole point of cutting someone off is to use the boundaries provided by the ring as a barrier to shut down the opponent from being able to use another angle as you are setting up your angles.
You can't really cut someone off if they have unlimited movement options to move away from you.
Why am I not surprised you don't know these basic principles?
You may see some unothadox fighter do some of this but...
Boxing doesn't have:
Crossover steps: hidden steps, "steal a step", "front" crossover steps
Spinning: pivoting, step & spin, china circle, spinning from a crossover
Sidling step
Inverted step
Hopping
Lunging steps: front and reverse (not quite like boxing).
Rolling - a form of locomotion but not necessarily a "step" exactly
Not to mention boxing lacks all the myriad of stances that are transitory positions in kung fu that I would not call "steps" but function as such.
Bow stance,
Mountain climber stance
Horse Stance

Of course boxing doesn't have those things. Like all functional, full-contact systems they understand that those things are not effective means of mobility for fighting. There is a reason you don't see most those things in any full-contact system and why most full contact systems from striking to grappling have similar footwork.
You can't say spinning isn't effective. People stay away from out of position fighters all the time for fear of getting cracked with spinning techniques. All the other stuff works as well. You just have to understand it. MT uses crossovers and spinning to name a few.

For Victor and the group..
Just an interesting clip (I thought) where the smaller guy is the aggressor..full contact bare knuckle.
