This is not true, Kung fu is not designed for ring or competitive fighting. Kung fu is designed to kill your opponent as fast as possible. Kung fu usually loses in the ring because its not designed for that. you cant kill your opponent in competitive fighting. I havent killed anybody myself nor do i plan to but its designed for that.

Heres a video of a very experience kung fu practitioner vs a grappler.

common stereotype, grappler beats striker 100%

well in the ring yes grappler wins, but in rl not always the case

28 seconds into this video the kung fu fighter could have easily just snapped this grappler neck killed him fight over, but again this is a ring match so he simply cannot kill his opponent.

Kung fu is designed to use the most practical methods to kill your opponent as fast as possible. Yes we live in a society that you cant just kill somebody you will be in prison for life, but thats what this art is designed for. and thats the reason lots dont train in it. its a lot more practical to just beat up control or subdue your opponent in real life. the school i went to trained in mostly striking some grappling and 23 different weapons designed for practical everyday use. daggers/swords/spear/scimitar/chainedwhip/ etc

Western world won't understand Kung fu and Mao tse tsung made sure of that. It's a evolution of one mind to be in sync with the 10,000 things. Kung fu is more real than hgh tap out skull caps and water inflated pecks. Guy with the double dragon tatoo is pretty cool after all.

Hope were still pals Jib, but what you just said is exactly what people who study Ninjitsu say. "Ninjitsu doesn't spar or compete well because it's all designed around killing your opponent." Shit's a tired cliche that most "dancey" martial arts claim.

I'm not saying Kung Fu doesn't look cool as shit as is probably very difficult to learn. But if you wanna take people out you should be learning jujitsu or wrestling.

There is a reason why all MMA fighters learn the same disciplines. It's because those are the ones that actually work.

i have no desire to fight in the ring anymore. I have done it a lot for practice back in the day age 16-23 but it was only for some fighting experience. I train kung fu mainly to just better myself and be able to defend myself if it came down to it. I try to avoid fighting at all costs, never the instigator in real life.

but ninjutsu is similar to kung fu in many ways. keep in mind ninjutsu (japan) kung fu (china), they were at war for thousands of years. both arts were designed to kill each other. they didn't stage rings and fight for territory, it was bloody ruthless battles.

the whole "dance thing" is just for form practice. repeat the same technique over and over and over so you can perfect the strength speed and accuracy of strike. throat or nose strikes don't require much force at all to do a lot of damage

miss you tho bro, good luck out there if you are still out there. looking forward to your return. i been immersed as fuck lately here on my monk

Lol why you want to take people out that is not want Martial arts is intended to accomplish. Aggression is a sign of weakness. Ninjutsu is a sneak attack form which most attacks are stealth. Learning to shadow step, hide use blow darts and shorter versions of katanas like a tanto or Shinto for tactical advantages. I love me some bushido though fuck the hiding Iaido visualize the strike. Musashi book of the five Rings is how I roll on r99.
