Because it's a game, it's good marketing and again it's a GAME! There are no Jedi and yet there is a fighting style for the Jedi that was created for the movies based on Kendo, and a little movie kung fu mixed into it for the movies that came after Return of the Jedi.

Fights are choreagraphed for movies ALL THE TIME. Avatar has four styles that are noted, Fire Bending, Air Bending, Water Bending ad Earth Bending. The styles don't exist but you can see them being performed by the characters.

Let's not forget the 80's movie "Gymkata". Then again, I wish I could forget it.

Actually, the Avatar styles are all based on real kung fu styles:
Fire Bending - Northern Shaolin
Water Bending - Tai Chi
Air Bending - Bagua
Earth Bending - Hung Gar, although Toph has been noted to have characteristics of Soutehrn Mantis in her movements

There are some more die hard Avatar fans at my school who have picked out some forms and techniques which lend credence to these claims.

*sigh*

Allow me to stress this point...yet again. Am I typing in English? It looks like I am. This is like the freakin' Twilight Zone, I swear.

The MK game I am referring to, included, but was not limited to, the FOLLOWING REAL (AUTHENTIC) MARTIAL ARTS STYLES...

Kenpo, Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai, Mizong, Jeet Kune Do, Wing Chun, Judo, Mantis, Snake, Crane, Escrima, Tang Soo Do, Jujutsu, Nanquan, Hung Gar, Hapkido, Shotokan, Dragon, Ninjutsu, Sambo, San Shou, Tai Chi, Shuai Jiao, Sumo, Wrestling, Tong Bei Quan, and more.

SO...the fact it is a GAME...ALL of these styles must be fake! I've been fooled! GASP! Apparently I'm not the only one! Geeze...MK fooled people so badly, MT has dedicated forums to most of these bogus styles! Woe to us all! We've been tricked!

I couldn't see WHY they would throw in ALL real martial arts styles, and then feel it necessary to throw in ONE that's completely fake. My interest was sparked by this Crab style, so I did a little digging. Apparently, I'm not the ONLY ONE who thought it could possibly have been a style. There IS information on it, and someone's even inquired about it here at MT back in 2002.

[sarcasm]How GULLIBLE of me.[/sarcasm]

Have you even decided to READ what's been going on so far in this thread? You should try it.

I'm not trying to convince ANYONE it's a style. So far, the only people trying to convince anyone of anything here are those trying to convince ME that it's never existed. Based off of what evidence? NONE of any substance.

I simply noted that Shaolin.com makes mention to Crab Kung Fu, as do a few other sources, so I'm not just taking everyone for a ride here. I'm not talking about frickin' Clam Kung Fu, people. I'm not pulling something out of my rear. There's enough reason to believe that this style could've existed. Anyone who claims it's BS has nothing of actual substance to provide to secure their claim.

I came here asking if anyone knew anything about it. That's it.

Sorry if I seem just a tad discourteous, but I came seeking information. Give me something to work with, people. The fact that crabs taste good and you can squish one beneath your foot doesn't debunk the fact it could've existed as a martial arts style, but that's what I've been given to deal with.

Read the entire thread, prior to any of the comments that I and others have made regarding it. You should read what you've stated here and yes, you have been a TAD discourteous.

Your statements and the attitude you're displaying show that you are indeed trying to convince us that it exists or at least at one time existed and you've used that pitful website as your frame of reference in more than one of your posts.
 
No lightning bolts, no Fatality moves, nobody with 6 arms.
Real life Kung Fu is about dedicated training and a great teacher / student relationship.

Only one flaw in your genius conclusion. I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. I'm trying to find information on it. There have been a select few that actually gave me any information whatsoever. I really don't give a damn if you think it was a style or not. I seek a reason behind as to why it's foolish to think it was ever a form...and no one can give me anything relatively close to a real answer. Because you can't come up with any decent evidence as to the fact that crab never existed, you're deciding to attack the sources I've found that display information on it. Congratulations.

Have I ONCE stated anything like, "Yeah, but guys, Shaolin.com says stuff about it, so it MUST have been real!"

No, actually I've admitted that it's possible it never was. So I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. I'm just trying to see if any Kung Fu-savvy people have ever heard of it or have any information. Then people like you come and hijack the thread. Very good.

And this debunks the existence of the crab form how exactly? The facts you just threw out there we all know. I'm seeking info to see if anyone knows of crab kung fu, not how to shoot lightning bolts from your hands, perform "fatality moves", or grow another four arms.

You associate other unrealistic aspects of the game and use that as your defense.

"Hey, I saw crab kung fu as a style, among all other real styles used in MK. Anyone here, in the Kung Fu forum, know anything about it?"

"It's impossible to shoot lightning from your eyes! It must never have existed!"

"Point proven!"

Sorry, but if you're going to convince me that crab kung fu is a ridiculous notion, you're all going to have to do MUCH better than that.

But as of what it looks like so far, you can't.
 
Zeno said:
If you've played any of the more recent MK games, you realize that they have martial artists performing the attacks for each individual style (it's in the bonus sections of the game). Each style they placed into the game is an actual art. I couldn't see them tossing in one that didn't exist. There's enough evidence to show that Crab Kung Fu was once a true form, and now it's been dissolved and given to other forms. I just want to know why.

Anyone know anything about it really? I've done some searching online, and I know it's a dead art now, but does anyone know anything really in depth about it? It's always interested me.

Zeno said:
I'd love to be able to go and find out more about it. I can't imagine getting pinched by a master of crab kung fu. Phew.

I first found out about it through Mortal Kombat. In Deadly Alliance, Reptile had two martial arts that he could use...Hung Gar and Crab Kung Fu.

I loved the look, and decided to research it, and discovered either through the game's information, or the internet, that it was a dead art.

I also found a bit from Shaolin.com...

"Crab is now a dead system of kung fu, the remnants of which were incorporated into eagle, hong tiger and white eyebrow. Practitioners fought from a low, crouching scissors stance and used great wrist and forearm strength to attack nerves or cut off circulation with the crab pincer."

It sounds effective enough. I just wish I knew how/why it died and divided. I've yet to find any information on it.

Yes you indeed have said that it's real. You've also said in not exact words but still equalling the same that Shaolin.com says it's real. You've been quoted and the pertinent statements have been bolded. :troll:
 
Or 12-14 years old.

Ive had discussions with my friends teenaged son and my own nephews that were eerily similar. The immersion in video games is blurring their concept of reality/fantasy.

What I think/assume/believe has NOTHING to do with trying to convince anyone in this thread to come to my side.

If I was to state my opinion in front of you, would you be one of those people to duck and run screaming that you're being oppressed? Are you one of those people that believe because I have a Christmas tree in my yard at Christmas time, that I'm trying to convince people to join a Christian lifestyle? I honestly doubt it, but it's really the same thing here. My expression of what I believe is not my attempt to convince you to think in a way that differs to the way you think now. I'm truly sorry if my expression here has made you feel violated in some way. You don't think crab kung fu could've ever existed? WHY?

One fact remains. There's more evidence pointing to the fact that it did exist, rather than the fact that it's a fallacy. I'm not saying that just because a few sources on the internet claim it was once real, that it MUST have been. I'm saying that because of those few sources (which all claim relatively the same thing), whether they're dependable or not, there is more pointing to the fact that it did once exist. I'm assuming at this point, that crab kung fu, if it once existed, was a very minor, rural form for a very short period of time.

Yes. I'm a victim here. Please, save me. I need your help.

I've already replied to you previously, stating the truth behind what was placed in that very same video game. Did you respond to it? No. You're just throwing your 2 cents in whenever you feel there's an opening where you can make an *** out of me. Like a fly that just won't stop buzzing around your head.

I pose the same question to you. Don't think the crab form ever existed? WHY?

Think either of you can give me an ACTUAL answer? What is it you think? Even though this thread has gone somewhat off course, I'm still sticking to my original intention. I don't know everything like some of you, so I'll take this opportunity to learn.
 
Also...another site that makes mention to crab, but also quite a few other styles of Kung Fu I've never heard of. I honestly don't know of their authenticity, I'm just posting this to show another site that points to crab's existence.

http://www.shaolinchowka.com/shaolin-kung-fu-forms/index.html

EDIT: You'll need to click on "Hand Forms" on the panel at the left side. It won't allow me to link directly to that part of the site. But it's right in there.
 
All kidding aside, and even though I did witness a real crab fight a loose to a set of chopsticks and a cleaver I am still inclined to believe that crab kung fu is as real as Kaio-ken at this point.

There has been no substantial proof given that says otherwise.

I applaud your sticking to the quest but without more proof beyond what has been presented I am incline to say it is fake and if there ever was a "Crab" anything associated with Kung Fu it may have been a posture but I doubt an entire system. And since, if it ever did exist, it is no where to be found it was either ineffective, or not passed on a long time ago.

Thank you. That's the type of response I'm looking for. Not only am I looking for that, but I am looking for more information on all of it. Hopefully something definitive turns up.
 
Zeno,
I thought of answering your question using a different approach. It is possible that you may get an answer on the research done on crab kung fu by the game developers themselves. They may have multiple sources of good information that you can confirm.

The story line of the Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance was written by Alexander Barrentine and John Vogel. I could not find any contact information for them but here is the contact information for Midway (sorry I could not find a e-mail address).

Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance Credits
http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/gamecube/data/551908.html

Midway Contact page
http://www.midway.com/rxpage/ContactUs.html

I also looked into the information that I have on the styles that I believe Steel Tiger mentioned may have crab material, Bak Mei: White Eyebrow, Eagle Claw, (Ying Jow Pai and JIN YING CHUAN: Golden Eagle Claw) and Hung Gar. I could not find any crab techniques or forms but in the case of Bak Mei I could not get a complete list of the forms. The following is what I found.

Regards,
Steve

P.S. I think what you should keep in mind is that finding information about these rare styles in difficult. The information a found about JIN YING CHUAN: Golden Eagle Claw Fist I believe is true but it is hard to prove. The site on which I found the information is gone and though I still can site the videos on You Tube, one source of information does not create the best evidence for supporting a style‘s existence.

That does not say it does not exist but it makes my job a lot more difficult in substantiating my case.

Bak Mei: White eyebrow style of kung fu

Forms of the Bak Mei System. There are over forty hand forms in the White eyebrow style of kung fu. These routines are based on the traditional five animals of Shaolin, the Crane, the Dragon, the Panther, the Snake, and the Tiger. The Sifus of this system will most commonly chose five to ten of these forms to train their students.

Hand Forms of Bak Mei of Sifu Eddie Chong

Sub Gee: The Cross. This is most basic hand form in the white eyebrow system and it has 72 movements.. This form teaches the correct body alignment and stance work. The concepts that are taught in this set are Lung Bo or dragon stepping (this is practiced in eight directions) and pulling and anchoring palm. There is a saying that one must understand Sub Gee to understand the white eyebrow style.

Far Pow: Fancy Panther. Another translation for this form is tricky or cunning leopard and it implies the intelligent use of deceptive techniques. This form combines lightning fast footwork with kicking techniques and also teaches the use of the Pao Kuen, Leopard fist or Ginger Fist. This hand strike uses second knuckles of the hand as a striking surface.

Chut Dim Mui Fa: Seven Points of the Plum Flower. This routine has 72 movements. This form turns in on itself in a small circle. It contains many short range techniques and can be practiced in a very small area. This set uses the distinctive movement of triangle horse stepping.
Sub Bat Ding Jong: 18 Crazy Monks. This is the first of Bak Mei’s intermediate hand form and it teaches the concepts of unpredictability and creativity in combat. This form never repeats the same technique twice.

The Three Treasure Sets of Futsan Bak Mei

The following three sets Sub Bat Mor Kiu: Eighteen Devil Bridges or Eighteen Ghost Bridges, Gow Bo Tui: Nine Step Push , and Fu Bo: Tiger Steps represent the essence of the White Eyebrow system. These hand forms teach all the important techniques, strategies, and concepts of Bak Mei. When a practitioner can master the techniques of these sets the will have a great understanding of the depth of White Eyebrow Kung fu.

Sub Bat Mor Kiu: Eighteen Devil Bridges or Eighteen Ghost Bridges. This advanced set specializes in defending and attacking from angles, spinning foot work, and defending from attacks made to the rear. This set is famous in the world of Chinese Kung Fu.

Gow Bo Tui: Nine Step Push. This set focuses on training the practitioner to make rapid and speedy changes in footwork and palm strikes.
Fu Bo: Tiger Steps. This the final form of the Futsan Bak Mei system and it is the ultimate expression of White Eyebrow Kung fu. This form is the unification and perfection of all the previous hand forms and techniques.

Gow Boy Toy: Nine Step ?
Fu Bo: Tiger Step
