old news.
my answer is no.
A man has only one death. That death may be as weighty as Mt. Tai, or it may be as light as a goose feather. It all depends upon the way he uses it....

If the definition of kung fu is 'hard work', doesn't that mean that any effort that anyone gives in a streetfight is kung fu?

The words mean different things in Chinese and English.

"No.

Not from the books I've read, but okay.....what is the difference between the Chinese and English definition or the word "Kung-fu."

i think hes indicating how the average english speaking population sees kung fu as chinese martial arts.
and how the literal definition in chinese is not that.
but again totally out of context so...

I disagree on weakness, I've used my kung fu in street fights to knock out a few dudes and it probably looked similar.
This vid has been discussed on a few diff. boards.
Most people saying that it's not kung fu because of various reasons.
Mostly the:
Stance preparation and it didn't look like when people do forms or kung fu movies.
Which are both big Peeves of mine. (Movies are fantasy!)
I had said this previously,

As funny as the whole stance preparation is,
For the life of me, I hate when people associate kung fu from tv to real life. What I mean by this is...people thinking that real life use of kung fu (meaning hard work) should look like a movie.
I think the kid did pretty good. It was totally obvious what he was setting up on the homie kid. If he was Tae Kwon Do, it could have been a RidgeHand strike, although impact was the arm.
If it was kung fu...such as Hung Ga or Choy Li Fut, it looked most certainly like a basic inner forearm strike or a Sow Choy that just connected with his arm. This is a basic move.
If you delete everying else in the video and just watch the last 8 seconds. You'll realize that the Martial arts guy attempted the throw and set up the "SAID MOVE" 2 times before connecting on it on the 3rd time.
**That was the real fight, the last 8 seconds and it wasn't sloppy at all.
In anycase, it was clear, that he was intending to use this method and he clearly set the kid up for it.
But the whole stance thing was really not needed, too funny.
"O"
P.S.
Why is it that boxers get 12 rounds to set up an opponant and nobody calls them sloppy?
But a Martial arts guy (input ANY style here) can win in a fraction of the time and he looks no good.
It isn't a fair comparison. I repeat, last 8 seconds.
