Nobody understood MMA. They made it up as they went along.
Are you trying to miss the point, or what?
Who mixed martial arts they didn't understand?
Everybody.
Everyone just went out their with their own good ideas. Some worked some didn't. That is how you understand a martial art.
No one understood a single MA?
Not fully. Everyone had to go back to the drawing board to make their system functional.
I didn't say charging in with chain punches.
If someone wants to hit you, they will advance and throw serious punches.
They will not present one punch and let you do three things to it.
Didn't say charging in. Only a fool will run past you when you "step off the line".
Where was there a jab, cross, hook? What are you talking about?
You did a step back raising bong-sau, then step forward with laap-da, and a body punch.
Unrealistic. Not comparable in the least to jab, cross, hook.
Your replies are just argumentative non-sense and don't deserve a reply.
Please go elsewhere.
Ha!
You said I don't think "jab, cross, hook" is a practical combination when we're talking about your multi-step combo that involved none of the above.
Talk about argumentative nonsense!
You wound up here instead of KPMartialtalk.com again!
If you can't see a "jab" in a fast back-hand blow, a "cross" in a rear-hand punch to the solar plexus and a "hook" in a shovel-hook to the ribs.....
Yeah, not the same at all, and that was not your combo.
You stepped straight back and used bong-wu as a "don't hit me" shield, then pulled the arm that was posed for you, dropping a backfist toward the nose that was blocked, and gave an unchallenged punch to the gut.
You're telling me that's the same technically or conceptually as jab, cross, hook?
Clearly you didn't even bother to watch the whole video lesson.
That doesn't mean no one understood even a single MA they trained!
When cross-training, people actually went to learn legit BJJ and worked it into styles they already understood.
That is entirely unlike making modifications, just based on what you've seen others do, to an already fragmented understanding of a base-style.
I would definitely suggest KPM goes and learns boxing if he is integrating it.
He already understands wing chun.
As would I.
How do you know?
Good point. we have moved back to functional. And there is pretty much no way to tell with WC or VT. As there is no good platform to test function.
Of course there is. You have just chosen to ignore it and run your mouth instead.
Was that when you just said it was so?
No. The annual open-style tournament that has been hosted and competed in by a VT group in Germany for several years now was just posted about. Alan Orr has also been putting his WC guys into MMA cages/rings for years.
Plenty of people test WC/VT in the sport fighting arena, if that's what you want. It could do with more, but you just seem more interested in ignoring those who do and running your mouth about "lack of evidence" instead, which I think is a clear form of dishonest style-bashing.
So we know one style of wing chun is functional. and lets put this open tournament at a mabye as I know nothing about it.
And does alan orr cross-train in boxing?
