Well, thats the point of this thread. I think to say in any situation that one particular person will deffinatly beat the other is a little presumptious. What I have been saying if you actually read my posts is that the MAist would have an advantage. IT is rediculous to say this person would win against this person without a doubt.
Also you say you train with serious boxers? Lol please don't make me laugh. You probably have never even seen a serious boxer. You know one system in your style and you are saying that you now hold the arsenal to destroy a boxer?
I mean what your pretty much putting down is that you are an untrained 7 star mantis practioner that is saying his system with only 1 system learned not even mastered is enough to compete with a boxer.
Lets go back and read my post Carbon, I didn't actually say I trained with serious boxers. I'm trying to make a point that you keep jumping to conclusions without anything to support your statements. Now, that aside, yes, I do train once a week with a serious boxer. He has trained in several MA styles including BJJ, MT, KF, and Tai Chi. He has been boxing for the past 2 years. He competes at local, and state levels. Would that be agreeable that he is a serious boxer?
Now lets get to the other accusation you spit out without any knowledge. The fact that I only train in 7*pm now doesn't mean I have never trained in any other system. If you look at my profile, I have been training in Kung Fu since 7 years old. I studied Dragon Kung Fu, and also I studied JKD for 8 years. Now, who are you to determine if I have only begun to learn my system or if I have "mastered" it? You have never even seen me. You know nothing about me. I would not profess to have "mastered" any system, and would be very wary about anyone who claims they have. I would say with that training under my belt, I feel very confident to compete against a serious boxer. I feel confident competing against any serious athlete. I'm not saying I would win against anyone anywhere, I 'm not saying I would win at all, I'm saying I feel confident competing. Lets get back to the topic though, this thread is not about my training or my skill level, it is about two systems. I would believe you consider yourself to be a serious boxer, is that correct? I respect any serious athelete regardless of style, you should too, we are both still athletes regardless of our different styles.
Don't try to deny it because I've already read it. Also the thing about your sifu is you were posting as if you were so incredibly amazed that your sifu was the sh!* upon sh!* of anyone you've seen this is why I commented it as bragging.
I'm not denying anything, there is nothing to deny, please read my profile and previous posts in other threads. I never said my sifu was better than anyone, lets not start making false acusations again. If I am impressed with my sifu or sigungs abilities, what is that to you? Why should that threaten you? Read "MartialArtist's" post above, he agrees about the technique of punching. Once masterd it is a beautiful thing. Saying that someone has mastered punching and is impressive is not saying anyone else has not mastered it. I do not understand why you feel so threatened by my opinions and views. I wasn't bragging I was makign a point that while a serious boxer has mastered the art of punching in his system, my sifu has masterd the art of punching in his system. Both can punch, both punch differently. There is a discussion goign on in a different thread that punchin is punching regardless. True, but the are very different in technique. I was attempting to relate that just because boxers main attack is the punch, does not mean that they are better at punching than another system.
Except if you were in a bar, or an alley, or lets say a bathroom. With the types of styles people here practice that are gear'd towards kicking and have limited striking ability. Oh and lets say you ran into a boxer then you would probably lose a fight in close quarters. People in real situations your not going to be in an open field getting into a fight with a boxer. Its mostly going to be in a public play with limited room to fight.
Thats the thing about my system, we are not geared towards kicking. In 7*pm we are noted for extremely fast and effective hand techniques. All of our techniques are designed to be pulled off in VERY close quarters. We practice our techniques in spaces smaller than an elevator. I think I know more than alot of people how to effectivly handle a confrontation in a confined area. Do some research on my system before you say things that you have no idea about. I think alot of MA systems focus on close quarters. Some more than others, but I believe alot do.

I'm not sure what this means, I'm confused.
