no i don't have much time for training. what i mostly do, is that i train (and instruct) in taijiquan. the club also has a sanshou team, so i have done a tiny bit of that, but i feel that when it comes to actually being hit and hitting someone, my interest is more academic. hehe. i am too old, and i need all my fingers alive for my job (as a composer, at the piano).
i also did 2-3 years(?) of aikido, and then some medieval european fencing with sword and buckler... and fencing is actually what i miss the most so when i get the time again, i think i want to start training more fencing and taiji sword as well.

By this, I mean I'm a lazy sub grappler, a shitty striker, and an even worse standup grappler. Hahah, but I still love doing it.

I have also trained krav maga, wing chun, hung gar kung fu, and aikido for varying amounts of time, but I don't consider them "arts I know" for various reasons. I remember you sifted that old-school GJJ vid, do you train BJJ or something?

Don't tell me I'm missing the point. New rule: unless you have hundreds if not thousands of hours wasted in this piece of crap martial art, you're not allowed to tell me you have a better understanding of wing chun than I do. Let's just assume for the sake of civility that we're at least on equal ground in terms of technical knowledge. If you think this drill is teaching precision or something like that, then you think it's a physical fitness drill. In that case, then my argument is that it's a crap physical fitness drill. And no, I don't think this is that kind of drill, chi sao is intended (emphasis on intended) for teaching arm "sensitivity" and responses to attacks, in the form of redirection, blocking, and counterattacking on the center line. And, let me repeat for emphasis, it SUCKS.

Oh, and 1zin1, people make the comment about the lack of force in the punches for one reason: because it's true.

And martial arts are about learning to fight. If you're not learning to fight, you're not doing martial arts. You might try to argue with me. But you'll still be wrong.

Nothing personal, you understand. I just have a raging clue for wing chun and all chun-related "arts", thanks to the years they stole from my life.

What's bad about this video, in short:
1. The speed is cool, but there's absolutely no force in the hits.
2. The guy gets in as many hits as he does because the other guy just stands there and lets him slap him around.
3. Chain-punching. Good for being quick, useless for inflicting damage of any kind. It's like speed-slapping, only less painful.
4. No useful footwork, if the camera moved down a bit you would see the dumbass squat stance they use all the time.
5. The whole exercise is training for a range of fighting that does not exist. Notice how they start off with their forearms touching, rocking back and forth? They call that the trapping range. It doesn't exist outside of these idiotic drills. Nobody sticks his arms out and then lets the other guy push his arms against his. In a real fight, they either separate and bang it out (standup range) or grab each other (clinch range).

And that's just off the top of my head.

YES chun li wins.

He is fast, but i wonder if his speed would hit with force. In kung fu it is said that speed is every thing, it is not. Tai Chi does requite speed to throw an opponent, speed is not everything. Presence of mind, calmness of mind, and many more concentrative ideals are needed to practice and use Martial Arts.

I would argue that Kung Fu (kung fu meaning great skill or great art, or even great work) is not the best martial art, but coupled with grappling and boxing skills it would be great. There is no one martial artist who does not know how to adapt other styles to his skills. Kung Fu by meaning is not an style, there are so many styles, Chen Tai Chi, Wu Tai Chi, Mok Gar, Shaolin, Wushu, Wing Chun, Hsing I Chaun, Ba Kua (ba Qua). When kung fu is mentioned it usually means Chinese Martial Arts and only chinese martial arts, but with the true meaning of the words Great Skill (Kung Fu) it encompaces all things.

I prize any video with martial arts in it, because it gives me a chance to see different forms!

UPVOTE!!!!

i watched this movie, it was very strange
jackie chan makes a horrile guile, but a fantastic chun li

I actually posted the wrong episode than I intended to, in that one Ayaka was dressed exactly like Chun-Li, complete with little buns and ribbons in her hair. Maybe I'll post that one too if this ever makes it out of the queue.

haha.. love it! ayaka's english is so old. who says 'i ate it' anymore. maybe it's coz she's from hawaii.

there's actually about 206 episodes of this featuring the members of japanese girl group, Morning Musume. what's with the chun li and gyoza tags?
