I wasn't busting your chops, I just didn't know what the black flag stood for, so I wikied it and posted it on your page.

I support your switch to pure anarchism, but don't most anarchists reject 'free-market'-y type stuff?

HERETIC!
Calling Jackie Chan ugly?! how dare you?
You insult all the ugly people out there with careless accusations like that.

He sure makes for an ugly Chun-Li.

time to load up MAME and kick vega/bison's ass with chun li. still fun ~20 years later.

Its worth noting that in nearly every street fight Mike Tyson has been in, he has broken his hands or wrists.
The bones in your hands are quite small and fragile. That's why hand wrapping is so essential in all combat sports. With amount of force Tyson puts behind his punches, anyone will break their hand.


Oh, on this I do agree, however, most Karate-ka and Kung-fu practitioners are taught ways to throw punches that are both safe (in that they minimize potential damage to those fragile bones), but also deliver a strong amount of force. We've seen Bruce Lee's 1-inch-punch, derived from Wing Chun Kung-fu. We've seen Elvis drop people with Ed Parker's American Kempo Karate. UFC MMA fighters don't usually use as much wrap as boxers (granted, most don't use traditional boxing gloves - most prefer open-fingered Kempo-style gloves).

To me, this speaks to how unrefined Tyson's technique has always been. He may hit like a freight train, but if you can survive one or two hits, or even better, get him to miss and hit a sturdy object instead, like a wall, it wouldn't matter how hard he hits. Outside of the ring is a very different situation than the structured rules of boxing.

I've always wondered how Tyson would hold up in an octagon. I doubt he'd last long against a fighter with a more varied, well-rounded skill set.

Of course, finding someone who fits that description, and yet is still dumb enough to step into the ring with him would probably be impossible

looks more like wing chun than karate. or maybe an attempt at something in the shaolin long fist genre.

Chun-li, sweeeeeeet *teens

Its Karate Do. Not wing Chun. But Karate Do and Wing Chun have the same structure.

It was a fist. Its a classic Ganmen-tsuki face punch. He does a basic japanese style strike. He rolls the fist and pulls with his forward hand to add the snap to the strike.

Could have killed the guy with that strike. It had to be done. Depending on who you strike in the nose area depends on if it doesn't just piss them off. This guy clearly was not wanting any more, after that.

Exceptional Use of Atemi.

Forgive I make no sense in this post... and I'm to tired to fix it.

wing chun to the rescue

I was trying to decide whether or not that was Wing Chun even before I spotted your comment. The footwork is close but the rest of his stance and his punching technique are wrong for WC. If this guy's a WC practitioner, I suspect he's very new to it.

Whatever it was, though, it did the job.

wing chun to the rescue

Any more info on this? Was this some Street Fighter convention or something?


This was at Evo 2004 -- Evo is a world tournament for various tournament fighters. Street Fighter 3: Third Strike is still a competition title. More info here: http://www.evo2k.com/

This particular match was the first in a best of three between Umehara Daigo (as Ken) and Justin Wong (as Chun Li). This is the semifinal; Daigo went on to lose to KO in the final match. Despite this, Daigo's performance at the end of this match earned him (and this clip) a place in tournament fighter history.
