Is this video real? how come no one else does this?
yeah.





these guys are, old old Old school. They are not masters. Even if they were masters. It still wouldn't look that different from the video.





That's how the Chinese people fight fought back in the day. and i guess they still do do it.





Bruce lee proved that their fighting style is old school and it doesn't work. Its more of an, art form, than practical fighting.
Reply:yes
Reply:Those guys are AWFUL!





Try blocks a real kicks like that, you'll mess your arms up badly. They keep move backward which is a big no no! What if those guy got stuck against rope/wall/cage/etc...? Neither of those guys bother to use their hands, knees, or grappling.





I wouldn't study under any of those guys.





Edit: beside that, I rewatch the video and the "karate" guy doesn't even look like a true karate guy at all. Karateka use their hands much more than their legs. yet this guy seems to rely 100% on his legs.
Reply:This is sparring, not fighting. There is a difference. Yes, Bruce Lee showed that the methods used in traditional martial arts where not efficient for actual street combat. However, those methods had been used centuries before Bruce was born. Even the great Bruce Lee gave in to his traditional ways for his movies. He did plenty of flying kicks that he would never endorse in his own dojo. These techniques look flashy, and in sparring, where judges are scoring you and your life isn't in danger, these techniques look cool and get the audiance to cheer.
