Kung fu in the cage

[Mr Punch]

Make sure next time he doesn't get super-duper new over-gripped shoes.

Then he'll have too much root, and will put his knee out on his first kick, or be taken down even easier!

And no, I'm not joking!

[Akhilleus]

First off, congrats to your boy...secondly, on this forum there is a very simple process of gaining respect for fighting in competition...

a) fight b) do your best and c) don't make lame excuses

[cerebus]

But dude, really man, it was the shoes!!!

[Vasquez]

keep us posted, but don't expect a long match agaisnt a non TCMAer. A bit of good chin na should be enough to end the match.

[Liokault]

Looks like your guy did ok. is hard to do well in your first fight, but the shoes thing was lame.

[huang's arrow]

I'm betting the other guy's students aren't out there on some internet forum saying "Yeah, our teacher was given the decision but we really look at it as a loss 'cause the other guys shoes weren't right that day"...

its unfortunate that you'd see it in a negative light. but im not here to sway you one way or another, i could care less. these kinds of things are learning experiences if you look at them in a positive light. but, thats up to you.

[cerebus]

Actually I find laughter to be a very positive thing. I'm not doubting the man's skills or putting him down for a loss (we all lose at some point). I just can't help but laugh at the "shoes" excuse. It's the martial arts equivalent of "The dog ate my homework".... even if it is true!

[huang's arrow]

i guess you totally missed the entire point of the post then.

[cerebus]

Oh gee, I guess so....

[huang's arrow]

i don't feel the need to gain respect on a forum, im merely reporting it as it is. besides, if i was lying, why would i make up an excuse such as that? the point is that that is how it happened and it had to be decided that he lost, so there was no ko. mistakes can be learned from too, which is the point in this case.

and as always, if there is any problems or if you want to check out the style, the school is always open.

[cerebus]

Did you even read what I posted? 'Cause it doesn't sound like it. Oh well, reading comprehension has never been a requirement in the martial arts, has it? Maybe it should be...

[huang's arrow]

actually i did read what you posted, and notice that i never responded to or even would have cared if you badmouthed him. plus, i was responding to what some of the other people had been posting, im not just replying to you. but, i may have misinterpretted what you said as well. *shrug*

Kung Fu vs. Wrestling from the last RITC
From the last Rage in the Cage show in Arizona:

http://www.istv.com/

http://www.istv.com/rage/index2.php

The second link should take you right to the fights, scroll down towards the bottom and they are listed individually.

Fights of note:

Fight # 4 Acero (Wrestler) vs. Larkin (Kung Fu). The KF guy fought in full Kung fu uniform.

Fight # 10 Edwin Dewees vs. Rich Alten. Alten is from Dynamic Combat. I’m friends with Edwin and predicted that this one wouldn’t last a minute at best.

Fight #1 Cruz vs. McClellan. In this fight the promoter gets on the microphone and starts talking about how “Someone’s getting their ass kicked!” when it’s one of his own students in there getting beaten on.

I can't believe that the kungfu guy tried the upward arcing back kick. Even if you're good at that kick it defies common sense to attempt it against a wrestler.

I also noticed that his defense against the double leg was non-existant. Like, he didn't actually do anything...didn't even attempt an antigrapple. He just stared at it and let it happen.

Did he attempt a sacrifice tomoenage type throw?

And lol at the untrained headlock defense against groundfighting.

Because resurrecting ancient threads is fun!

Especially when they are both funny and topical!

[SAAMAG]

Why ?!!

Althought it was fairly obvious that all those "students" were simply Huang's many personalities. You can't truly hide one's character behind a new name.
