World Of Martial Arts Part 1

I don't have to go out and learn Wing Chun to know it S**ks any more than I have to go out and learn magic tricks to know it's just slight of hand and not real magic. WC specializes in only one fighting range. Trapping is over complicated and easily neutralized by long range strikes or by clinching. WC footwork is impractical and inflexible, especially compared to boxing footwork. And finally WC strikes generally lack power and are thus ineffective.

how cud u say that?! i practice wing chun and find it most usefull!! in saying that it is least usefull of all martial arts and is most likly to teach u bullshit i asume u hav trained in it for many years?? u hav understood all of its concepts and been to all the wing chun skools the world has too offer?? what is it that makes it BS?

It's not really. Of all those shown, Wing Chun is the least useful and most likely to teach you BS. You should be looking at Muay Thai, and possibly JKD, although many JKD instructors are also full of it.

Wing Chun looks F**king hardcore. Anyone know if there's a wing-chun dojo in Ontario Canada?

wich video is the muay thai one???

The 3rd guy in this video in the JKD sequence is Rick Tucci.

Who's the guy on jeet kune do, not bruce lee or dan inosanto but the other guy?

I agree with the terminator guy. But there are three kinds of martial arts now. Sport, traditional, and war arts. If you water down your traditional arts enough for rules, a ref, and a cage, you've created a sport art. This involves taking away ALOT of the practical techniques. Then there's the war arts that teach how to kill someone, break knecks, jaws, arms, legs, etc. These, you'll NEVER see in MMA. You'd be kicked out in 10 seconds.

When I said style there I meant stance...sorry bout the double post.

Nice vid, but do you know where I can find info on the Flamingo style? I am tall and lanky so distance is a good friend of mine; plus I have always had a love for good leg techniques. If you havent seen this style, I would highly suggest "The Legend of Drunken Master"...I think thats the correct title. It is the more recent Drunken Master movie starring Jackie Chan.

Don't get me wrong though, I think MMA is great, I'm about to start training in muay thai, western boxing and jujitsu soon. Main reason I think these styles are popular is of course the popularity of MMA, but more so that they are techniques that are easy to learn and use right away. Most Gung Fu takes a lot of time! Modern day era does not allow much time to master Gung Fu for the average individual.

Gung Fu masters do not paticipate in UFC or MMA because they don't believe in using there techniques for the mere entertainment of the public. Most Gung Fu styles stresses the point of never using your gung fu in anything other than self defense.

What does a decade and a half prove? Think about hundreds of years of combat and survival, I think the systems that were created a long time ago to keep one alive and the fact that at that time they had a lot more time to practice and develop it would create a system that works.

Who is the guy practicing the Wing Chun and the Taiji? What's his name??

thansk man amazing video u've motivated me even more thing is i cant convince anyone to pay classes for me :(

bruce lee: "i do not belive in styles"
btw.. read bios of him and dont discuss in this senceless way

Why are you telling me that? lol

Bruce Lee and Ninjitsu? I don't know.... To does who still don't know or "get it", JKD is not a style or even a set of techniques that can be applied to any style. Jeet Kune Do was more of a philosophy and I will go as far as to say that it can be considered a way of life. Lee never wanted it to be considered a style since after a certain point in his life he stopped believing in styles.

but not the same art

jeet june doo isn't a style but teqniques that can be aquried to any style

bruce lee's is not actually ninjutsu ... original typical nunjutsu is that of >>> Frank W.Dux

lets have a moment of silence to the littel dragon........ok lets fight

I assume by Ninjutsu you mean Taijutsu. Not all forms of Taijutsu are even alike. JeetKuneDo isn't any more similar to Taijutsu then Hapkido. Jeet Kune Do is not even a style, it's a system you apply to any style you already know.

And if you're saying that styles like WingChun and Taiji are stupid, then you are certainly talking out of your ass.

4:10 is crazy

No, it's really not like ninjitsu at all. I've watched Bruce Lee's videos, have his training manual and trained with ninjitsu practitioners, there's no more similarity there than any other martial art.

Muay Thai, Wing Chun, and Tai Chi are three of the very biggest martial art styles in the world.
