 |
|
The Kung Fu training I had was full contact without pads. Work on defenseive drills did not keep pace with the skill that people developed in offensive techniques, thus injuries were getting common before I quit to study Ninjutsu. Most nights were interesting as the general goal was to develop a demonstration team, but the group members liked sparring, so at least once a week they went at it with gusto. People trained as much outside of class as they did inside of class and figured out each other's favorite combinations so that they could defeat each other in sparring. Sparring really isn't my main area of interest, particularly when people end up developing bloody noses.

I used to put down kung fu before I joined a school and realised that kung fu is a broad term...there are good and bad schools. Luckily I went to good one where we do MMA and Sanshou.

Kung-fu is very misunderstood, and people shouldn't juge untill they know the facts.

I saw a sparring match today where one of the guys did Wing Chun Kun Fu and he mopped the floor with this guy... every time the guy tried to get close, the WC guy stopped him by kicking his knee and letting out like 10 fast punches.. later after the fight, I told him that he kicks to the knees could be dangerous when sparring.. he agreed.. his punches were like lightning!!

| Wing chun guys do have fast hands with their unorthodox way of punching. |

| I just mean that their technique of punching differs a lot from say a boxer or another martial artist. And I believe this technique does develop speedier punches although maybe not as powerful. |

Well, what do you mean by "power" moves? I think they train for each of their techniques to have the most power that they can get into it. I think the amount of power you could get into a move, in any style, would mostly be a result of how well you can get it set up, with the proper opening.

Cung Le fights Kung Fu and he beat the snot out of Frank Shamrock this weekend. Kung Fu if trained for fighting is great!
