[Martial Arts] - Another so-called "MMA vs Kung Fu" video

[UltimaOnline]

First of all, 'Kung Fu' (literal translation : skill achieved through hard effort) isn't a martial art. What they mean is 'traditional Chinese martial arts'.

Secondly, while MMA stands for Mixed Martial Arts, it's more precisely the application of multiple martial arts for the specific purpose of defeating your opponent (either by KO or submission) under organizational (eg. One Championship, Ultimate Fighting Championship, etc) rules as a sport, not a life-or-death military or street combat.

Thirdly, the last couple of self-proclaimed traditional Chinese martial art grandmasters that were pummeled by Chinese MMA fighter Xu XiaoDong, are mere incompetent charlatans (also see https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=fake+BJJ+exposed ) and are not actually competent Chinese martial art genuine masters, which do exist.

So such videos (popularized by Xu XiaoDong, who is really doing this for self-publicity), more to the point, are unmasking the martial art charlatans for their incompetence, rather than proving MMA > Traditional Martrial Arts, per se.

Nonetheless, it's bloody common sense that multiple martial arts > single martial art, duh! All MMA fighters need to be competent in multiple martial arts, at the very least a grappling martial art (usually Brazilian JuJitsu) and a striking martial art (usually Muay Thai).

Ceteris paribus, ie. with both the MMA guy and the traditional martial arts guy being equally competent, it's a no brainer the MMA guy has the advantage, ie. multiple martial arts > single martial art, duh!

In addition, the fact that professional MMA fighters have extensive experience in the ring against other fighters specializing in different martial arts (in contrast to most self-proclaimed traditional martial art grandmasters who mainly teach theory rather than actually fight), it's common sense that the vast majority of MMA fighters would beat the crap out of the vast majority of traditional martial art self-proclaimed grandmasters.

Alright, enjoy the video :

That guy has been bred for unarmed combat from birth. There's even a footage of him wrestling with a Russian bear when he was younger

You cannot use kung fu moves with your hands bound up like that.
There is no power in those kung fu punches.

that's a brawler vs an mma, I don't see any kung fu moves from the fatty but if he used his elbows more , he'd inflict more damage at the very least.

I heard from some friends who practiced martial arts that the Chinese kungfu kept getting their arses kicked for a long time by muay thai kickboxers at competitions. They could not tahan the brutal elbows and knees up close. only a few could win against the Thais after many years. All these shaolin wutang kungfu aren't practical for Modern competitive fighting lah. look good for demos and movies only

Tat i agree with u. Their elbows n knees are the killers. Few knee knocks to ur abdomen can also render u flat.:(

Our own sinkieland. Christian Lee..young n rising star. His grip also quite good!

Anyway this Xu xiaodong has only been fighting the loudmouth kungfu "masters" to shut them up. These idiots claim they know mystical techniques you'd only read about in wuxia novels.

There are good competitive Sanda (free style) fighters who practice modern techniques. Xu won't challenge them
