I remember getting into fights, when I was younger, and I’d get things like ‘you’d better not use any of that martial arts stuff on me’ like it was something you could switch off 😂. Thats the thing with your background in martial arts. It will always stay with you

[@martialgeeks]

Right as if only martial arts are the mystical pretty stuff...I remember seeing a criticism of the most recent Batman movie on how the guy doesn't like it because "batman didn''t use any martial arts in the film" .....THeFuCk!? He beat the shit of so many people in the film, it was just based on combat that's more realistic looking🤣🤣, as if knowing boxing isn't martial arts 🤦‍♂️

Roy Nelson is a Kung fu guy?

Started in Kung Fu yep

[@Momentosis]

Most of the Chinese Fighters like Weili, Yan, JingLiang, Yadong, etc. all have Sanda backgrounds. Also you have the King of Kung Fu himself in the UFC, Muslim Salikhov.

[@martialgeeks]

Yes!

I saw that Lau Gar clip from pebble mill and I know one of my past instructors was in it, I think he may have been a full contact kickboxing world champion or maybe that was marketing, in anycase he fell out with my main instructor so I ended up not training Lau Gar with him after that, although I did get taught the sword forms eventually, there is a lot I didn’t learn. My instructor must have been ok at it though as he had about 16 blackbelts and produced quite a few champions in either kickboxing or Kung fu. I think he has retired now, and to say he was competent at fighting might be an understatement of the century. I just recalled how hard the training was, yep it was 10 out of 10 on the difficulty scale.

The style he branched on was called initially Lucky Crane Kung fu then something else and ultimately Zheng Dao Lo which I think means venerable way.

[@tristhekid]

Holland doesn’t even use kung fu in the traditional sense. He uses common, western style kickboxing techniques. MVP uses point karate in the traditional sense

[@martialgeeks]

Well that's the thing, the key is in that word "common". Most of kung fu styles are and should be common techniques, not flashy movie bs, take a look at Sanshou fights before the ufc, it just looks like fighting
