i thought he was gonna get dropped for that crap...but i guess the other guy couldnt fight at all

That was kind of impressive. I would have ended that conflict much faster with less showboating and dancing around.

It seemed to me he (Kung Fu guy) was just flailing his fists and got lucky and wholloped him with a haymaker.

Hard to tell from the angle/quality of the clip, though.

Any Kung Fu practitioners care to comment?

Ill do my best to copy over the discourse from the other thread on this ...

 

[Djimbe]

good swing... but what a bullshit stance. complete lack of mobility, susceptible to sweeps... ug.

he dropped him with an index knuckle strike, favoured by Choy Li Fut.

... you mean a wild hook punch?

systema does whip-like punches, so i know them when i see them

I just rewatched the clip. you're seeing what you want to see. in the moment leading up to the KO punch, the dude is all over the place... nowhere do i see any sort of precision, just a barrage of strikes

i'm not knocking the dude, hell he won. but fancy kung fu something or other? you mean hook to the face.

I dont personally think that the ons from systema look a lot like the ones rom Nanchuan , so I felt that the point must be made .

I just rewatched the clip. you're seeing what you want to see.

Actually so did I - about 20+ times in a row from the point where the kid in Red threw the first Backfist . My analysis is clear enough , and Im seeing whats in front of me jus fine . I LIKE to make fun of Idiots , and I would be the first guy pission on the kid if I thought there was a reason to - as it IS , I pis on his Instructors .

in the moment leading up to the KO punch, the dude is all over the place... nowhere do i see any sort of precision, just a barrage of strikes

Actually he IS "all over the place" but the question is WHY is he "all over the place" - or rather "In What WAY ?" The fact of the matter is that he actually throws - or attempts to throw the exact same technique in the EXACT same way three times in a row - right down to the fact that EACH TIME he starts the strike by digging in with his Right foot behind him , and lengthens through the same sie using his right as his Power hand . Thats NOT how the Mechanics of a Hook punch WORK and it never will be .

The fact is that the ANSWER to "The Question" is that hes never hit Focus Mitts , or Thai Pads , or Sparred against a Resisting opponent before . His Execution of the MOVEMENTS INVOLVED with the STIKE ITSELF are as Mechanically Repetitive as one could hope to expect under the circumstances when he has an opponent Didging , blocking , and taking his space like in the video . The guy thre the SAME strike THREE TIMES like a robot , THAT was his problem , the guy had NO experience against a Resisting Opponent , THAT was his problem , The guy had never hit a Moving Target , THAT was his problem , the guy had no CLUE about Footwork , Spacing , or Timing - THOSE were his problems . - NOT that he didnt know how to Execute the Mechanics of the strike itself .

i'm not knocking the dude, hell he won. but fancy kung fu something or other? you mean hook to the face.

Just beause the Strike was a kind that is Thrown in "kung Fu" dosent particulary make it "Fancy" in MY eyes , I see them all the time , so to me theyre Commonplace . It just WASNT a HOOK . It wasnt a Roundhouse Kick a Rice Bail Throw or a Wheel Kick either .

I just think that the Clip itself Illustrates well what can happn if all you do is Forms Training . You get good at Moves/techniques , but you have no Idea what to do with them . In this manner they become Robotic , Meaningless - even "Dead" things . Even STILL , however , JUST having the Proper Mechanics (form) ALONE can give one a KNOCKOUT weapon - ANY of those Missed strikes would have knocked the other boy just as silly - but h lacked the Battle-Preparedness to strike with any accuracy and skill .

Now that I think about it it ALSO Illustrates how even a LITTLE bit of MA training will do WELL against someone that knows NOTHING !

I mean , MOST ppl just DONT know how to fight !

I think that as big a newbie as that kid was he pretty much proves that you dont have to be a freaking Gracie to defend yourself in a Streetfight , and that "Kung Fu" DOES work !

oh , and the Hand Positioning that Undertow503 was talking about (wich IS a fave of Choi Li Fut practitioners) is referred to as the "Phoenix Eye Fist" . And the "Wildness" or "sloppieness" with wich it was thrown does not make it any more a BNoxers hook than it makes it a Choke hold .
