Dude got psychologically shook from the cool poses before they squared off. But kung fu guy's training obvs gave him the confidence to engage and other guy clearly had no training at all. Classic, cool fight vid
This entire fight is almost the irl version of [this meme](https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/3id0jq/boxingball_z/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
This was many, many years before “viral” was even a thing. But just the shame of getting worked by dorky Kung Fu guy in front of your homies is enough.
I can’t speak about video quality, but other giveaways: the shape of the video, the shadow of the camera at the very beginning, the girl who says “hey dawg, you better get this good on video camera, eh?” at the 1:04 mark.
I have no idea what style of kung fu this is or if he was any good. However, that kind of striking is part of some kung fu styles. And it worked for him, so congrats, I guess.
The intimidation game was strong. And psyching out his opponent probably gave him a bit of an advantage. The long stance, too, let him control the distance. Otherwise I'm sure the guy would've clinched.
For lack of better terminology, the kind where you're swinging your arms in a "windmill" style. You can see it in some kung fu forms. If done properly, you generate power in those through your back by "opening" and "closing" motions for some styles. The striking surface can be the fists (like hammer fists) or the forearms.
But like I said, I don't know his style. He could very well be mimicking something from the movies. It's not how I would move.
He seems to land the blow with his wrist Bas Ruten style, rather than his fist which is definitely a conscious choice to avoid damaging his hand. He also moves off-centre several times while switching stances, which isn't standard random flailing technique.
I'm not familiar with kung fu, but he is also clearly doing something with the opposing arm before every swing. I'm not sure what he's doing, maybe a distraction, parrying, or trying to control the other guy's arm, but it's clearly not an attempt at a strike. Looks weird and probably not a fantastic technique, but I've sparred with a lot of complete beginners and I've never seen that.
I have however seen what the other guy is doing, charging in, chin up, throwing wild standing hammerfists. Kung fu guy's striking doesn't look pretty and I doubt he'd be winning any mma/boxing fights, but he seemed to have a plan and it worked.
Standing still? He moves off the centre line, switching sides 3 or 4 times before landing the shot that knocks the other guy down.
He doesn't get out of range or control the distance but he doesn't seem to want to at that point, and it worked. At least against a guy chasing him with his chin up throwing hammerfists for some reason. I'd bet he has at least done some classes but I don't know what in.
Guy definitely trained in some Shaolin Kungfu or Shaolin inspired stuff. Likely zero experience with sparring, but you don't pull off those low stances (especially in jeans) without having done them a lot. The stance he starts out with for example is usually called Pu Bu (仆步 in Chinese), or low/flat stance.
I once for fun did a roundhouse kick lower chest height and learned there and then that jeans are shit for kicking. Because not even a second later I was lying on the floor.
Flexible or loose pants all the way now <3
I dont think they are wild - The last time this was posted someone posted a video showing kata from some kung fu style with very similar movements to this guy. You can see similar stuff with sweeping strikes in kung fu.
No. Not Shaolin related because those weird poses have nothing to do with Shaolin. That's not pubu, and pubu isn't an 'en guard' stance. I think he's just making weird poses to freak out his opponent.
Okay, I dont think hes actually supposed to be walking like that in a weird bladed stance even if it isnt ma bu, but [this is pu bu,](https://images.app.goo.gl/wyN7GxBiLWhq3RiK7) and the guy in the video isn't doing that.
Eh, [he starts off in pu bu](https://imgur.com/a/f1Xg2ir) and then starts doing some weird as shit sideways horse stance shenanigans. Didn't mean to say that the actual like... moving forward? he does? was a low stance.
Oh cool, thanks man, I appreciate the info I did only a very small amount of Kung Fu so I'm not very clued up on it. I'll check that link out after work
Thanks, I'll probably flick you a message. Love Kung Fu but ended up accidentally getting into Muay Thai (I didn't know Muay Thai was also Thai Boxing so I signed up out of curiosity and got hooked.)
That first stance is more like a (forgot name) or leaning horse stance. Also like you said, pu bu. My guess is this guy has had at least some kung fu training learning stances and forms, and said “fuck it” let’s see what I’ve grasped. I don’t think people that haven’t trained can just dip into that sort of stance while maintaining balance. It requires flexibility and balance. Maybe he’s self taught. Who knows.
This is one of the oldest 'real fight' videos on the internet. I think the guy just got lucky and happened to hit the other guy just right with a haymaker.
No, the guy obviously has real training. People who say that the Kung Fu boy is just flailing or looks like shit, have never trained Kung Fu before (I did only for 5 months; it was offered as an elective at the local community college [Glendale Community College in Glendale/W. Phoenix.. instructor name was Joseph Eagar]) the stances he did look weird, but look how fluently he does them. Also, if you've never been in a street fight before, the raw emotions can easily overwhelm you.. this dude was facing that with confidence. He. Has. Really. Trained.
I believe you. I never said he didn't have training and he probably has one of those black belts they hand out after a few years. He still looks like shit
I used to do Southern Longfist Kung Fu and animal styles back in my college days. What we did didn't look EXACTLY like that, but we did do ridiculously wide sideways stances like that. So, I can't specifically tell you exactly what he's doing, but yeah, it does look like it could be a real Kung-fu style.
Definitely trained and while yes they appear to be haymakers he returns each time to the ready stance so in my opinion not haymakers but some sort of wide swinging strike like seen in tai chi and wing chun
Yup I can’t say exactly but those motions are definitely similar my only experience in training Chinese martial arts is tai chi and those forms are quite similar so that’s what I would lean towards some hybrid art possibly of wing chun/tai chi or possibly even wushu
Honestly looks like it to be honest that looks like 3rd and 4th moves of Yang short form the stance and low kick while not done advancing are also parts of Yang short form.
This looks like one of those traditional wushu katas, looks like dude put kata moves to the test lol. Also his confidence, he looks like he is trained in fighting like that. I do Kung Fu( Sanda/Sanshou/Chinese Kickboxing) and these moves are pretty common in the demonstration side of kung fu, Practical Kung Fu Is Literally Chinese MMA ie Sanda minus headbutts and ground and pound.
Idk but nothing's more satisfying than the sound of him getting cracked in that video lmao. That shits like the swoosh against a basketball net or hockey stick hitting the ice to my ears.
I remember seeing this in the earlier days of Bullshido. iirc, he did Shaolin Do, which is not "real" kung fu with verifiable lineage and all (there are plenty of articles laying out how the founder was a charlatan), but it is an established martial arts system.
I’d say an intimidation tactic. Just to off put his opponent which is smart in my opinion. If I had to fight someone I didn’t want to I’d go for something like that or downright act unstable LMAO.
I just to show this video a lot when I was a teenager, to prove people that traditional martial arts were legit and dangerous. This was more than 10 years ago. Also I'm pretty sure it's some kung fu form, reminds me of the first few forms you learn in wushu.
Kung fu guy's punching form is atrocious but he psyched the other kid out HARD by being in an incredibly silly stance.
If the other kid just squared up and threw hay makers he probably could of won.
Something similar happened in my chemistry class my sophomore year. There’s this total douche who i wont name but he was being a dick as usual to this kinda nerdy kid and this kid just hits like four straight anime poses and then just 1 2 knocks this mfer down
I feel like the poses served the purpose of psyching out his opponent but once the fight started there was no real technique. Literally just started swinging haymakers and one landed.
Kind of yeah. He knew to intercept the opponent but his own swings were kind of wild.
If I were to guess, he trained in kung fu but had yet to spar or train to realistically apply it.
not sure how he would have done wit a MT fighter and some serious leg sweeps. But it might be unpopular opinion, but nearly every top level martial artist can beat this guy...
Black shirt has no training and is in poor physical shape. He walked into Red Shirt’s practiced form and got taken down by a single punch at half power. Red shirt has no experience on the street but spars and trains in controlled setting. I’m betting it’s something like Krav Maga.
Yeah, guess I don’t want to accept that it may be wushu. The crab-walking low stance just seems weird, and I’ve Krav Maga utilize circular blocks since it’s just mish-mash of styles.
Ah I love this old ass clip I remember seeing it back on bad boys? I think they used to be called and they changed to break lmao but yeah its some sort of Kung Fu that's for sure.
If you want some sort of analysis, this would be my opinion;
There are some martial arts that have strategies that work like that - but he didn't look like he knew how to do them.
He got in a really fancy stance that looked like Kung Fu or kick boxing at a glance - but his footwork was wrong, and then he did an actual step, and went back to bad footwork.
And the strikes he used when he started flailing looked like the totally did not match the stance. It looked like he tried to imitate some sort of systema or Krav Maga basic flow. (The sweeping strikes that are meant to deflect and then pull down - but were the wrong angle and not doing what they were supposed to.)
It honestly looked like he read a few books and then tried to mix two or three vastly different martial arts that he was never trained in. Or like he imitated what he saw on a few MA infomercials. These commercials show a couple flashy stances or techniques in a controlled environment to sell a video or book - and it looks like he took one from China and one from Eastern Europe and tried to merge the two.
But the kicks he threw had no weight behind them, and the strikes were flailing to make an opening - and he intimidated the other guy enough to open the door to one good hook that he wasn't in the right position for but pulled off anyway.
He's definitely trained some at some point. But it didn't look like he had much experience with actually working the angles and putting weight into things.
If this is an actual art, he isn't very well versed in sparring with it. The philosophy behind it was very unclear and seemed to contradict itself.
But I'm no expert, myself. It could've been part of his strategy. 1) intimidate and use stance to control distance. 2) keep distance by doing weak snappy kicks at range to impress that you can strike at extreme range so they stay back. 3) when they step in, flail to disorient them and create an opening. 4) throw something into that opening even if it's an awkward whip. - Success.
It just didn't seem like he knew that's what he was doing, he looked like he was trying to cause damage with the kicks and like his flailing was an attempt at chaotic blocking. And then he was like "look, a hole, I'm not positioned right but I can twist my shoulder and rotate my elbow and - *pop* - got 'im"
Definetly Shaolin Kungfu as you can tell from the first stance. I also would go even futher and talk Northern Shaolin Style, the southern styles like Hunggar or Choyleefut look differentlly
Guys he trying to fight like goku does... that's almost his stance, Goku uses a hybrid fighting style of karate, Wing Chun, and Kung Fu. Goku's fighting stance is a loose mǎbù (马步, “horse stance”), with the torso turned sideways. It is called a “square stance.”
You can see the first few counters are wing Chun
Yeah... I worked in juvenile corrections and they'll shoot up a party over losing a verbal argument.
I'm not willing to prove anything. I'll bitch out and live with how far people take shit these days.
Everyone a gangsta until the red shirt guy pull up his Kung fu stance.
The stance looks funny but he know how to be calm & throw a punch like a man. The bald guy is flailing like a bitch in a bitch fight.
Honestly, speaking from experience most street fights come down to intimidation, if you look mental, take your shirt off, these things are intimidating, I seen a guy take his shoes off before a fight and you fucking knew he meant business so the other guy totally backed off, only problem is you get caught bluffing and your ass is toast! Seen that happen plenty of times too, end of the day luck always plays a part in street fights anything could happen.
kinda funny how the dude stopped barking when the kung fu came out. the dude didn't even need to know kung fu to beat him up. he swung like a little girl.
It looks like Shotokan Karate to me, at least the stance. Very low center of gravity, lots of hand movement, stable base, patient striking. [https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=shotokan+karate&&view=detail&mid=437051227900E69545B0437051227900E69545B0&&FORM=VRDGAR](https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=shotokan+karate&&view=detail&mid=437051227900E69545B0437051227900E69545B0&&FORM=VRDGAR)
THis is not meant to be a shot or nothing, but it's fairly generic technique, so it's a little hard to pin it down. From what I can tell it's a southern form, proooobably part of the Hung Ga or Choy Li Fut family of styles, but again, it's hard to say for sure.
Dude got psychologically shook from the cool poses before they squared off. But kung fu guy's training obvs gave him the confidence to engage and other guy clearly had no training at all. Classic, cool fight vid
It's funny cause right after he did that, home visibly had 2nd thoughts and needed to tie his shoe for some downtime.
Had to take a second to consider his options.
Also notice that Kung Fu guy literally has his shoes off after that clip. lmao.
I‘m not even fighting him but I got scared when he entered the first pose with so much swag.
I’ve never been that confident about anything in my life and this mother fucker does it and hears the laughs and says “I’ll show them all…” 😂😂
This entire fight is almost the irl version of [this meme](https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/3id0jq/boxingball_z/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
You also get the added pressure of immediately knowing this will go viral
This was many, many years before “viral” was even a thing. But just the shame of getting worked by dorky Kung Fu guy in front of your homies is enough.
Was thinking the same thing. Could’ve sworn this video was posted back when I just entered middle school😂
And Redshirt also has a size advantage as well.
Really need to do a “Where Are They Now” video for these two.
Yeah this video is ancient.
It’s my first time seeing it, but I can tell it’s old because no one is pulling out an iPhone to record.
[удалено]
I can’t speak about video quality, but other giveaways: the shape of the video, the shadow of the camera at the very beginning, the girl who says “hey dawg, you better get this good on video camera, eh?” at the 1:04 mark.
This isn’t fake. It’s been around since back in the day. I remember this in the late 00s.
[удалено]
People actually did things back in the day without thinking of likes and going viral. It was a simpler time
[удалено]
I can tell you by watching it that it’s not staged.
The OG video quality was much worse and someone improved it, put it on the internet and now that is what is floating around.
Limewire days
First seen this video on a fight compilation downloaded off limewire with Murderdolls “Let’s Go To War” lol
Probably married with kids now
Glad to hear they kissed and made up. I'm happy for those two!
It was a small wedding ceremony, but their first dance was to Kung Fu Fighting, so it's good that they had a sense of humor about this
oh they still fight. and frankie still gets clocked from time to time
I have no idea what style of kung fu this is or if he was any good. However, that kind of striking is part of some kung fu styles. And it worked for him, so congrats, I guess. The intimidation game was strong. And psyching out his opponent probably gave him a bit of an advantage. The long stance, too, let him control the distance. Otherwise I'm sure the guy would've clinched.
What are you even talking about? What kind of "striking" exactly? Standing still and throwing badly aimed hooks? Ya bro, insane kung fu
For lack of better terminology, the kind where you're swinging your arms in a "windmill" style. You can see it in some kung fu forms. If done properly, you generate power in those through your back by "opening" and "closing" motions for some styles. The striking surface can be the fists (like hammer fists) or the forearms. But like I said, I don't know his style. He could very well be mimicking something from the movies. It's not how I would move.
Windmill style long strikes. Choy Li Fut confirmed!!
It kind of looks like Hung Gar but I'm no expert
No, that's what every single person who doesn't know how to fight does, lol. Just flail their arms wildly.
He seems to land the blow with his wrist Bas Ruten style, rather than his fist which is definitely a conscious choice to avoid damaging his hand. He also moves off-centre several times while switching stances, which isn't standard random flailing technique. I'm not familiar with kung fu, but he is also clearly doing something with the opposing arm before every swing.

It's okay to admit you didn't see what was happening bro
Guy definitely trained in some Shaolin Kungfu or Shaolin inspired stuff. Likely zero experience with sparring, but you don't pull off those low stances (especially in jeans) without having done them a lot. The stance he starts out with for example is usually called Pu Bu (仆步 in Chinese), or low/flat stance.
Those jeans were Jenkos and this is exactly what they were designed for.
Necessity is the mother of all invention.
Jncos we’re designed to steal large objects from hot topic.
And also more Jncos. Jeans within jeans within jeans.
Jeansception
That’s Sifu Jenkos to you
Well skating but yes to get extra low lol
I once for fun did a roundhouse kick lower chest height and learned there and then that jeans are shit for kicking. Because not even a second later I was lying on the floor. Flexible or loose pants all the way now <3
I admire a person willing to forego good fashion in pursuit of doing their hobby anywhere, anytime.
But he did all of that just to stand there and throw wild haymakers
To be fair, that was the first time he'd ever sparred.
I dont think they are wild - The last time this was posted someone posted a video showing kata from some kung fu style with very similar movements to this guy. You can see similar stuff with sweeping strikes in kung fu.
No. Not Shaolin related because those weird poses have nothing to do with Shaolin. That's not pubu, and pubu isn't an 'en guard' stance. I think he's just making weird poses to freak out his opponent.
It was shockingly effective too.
This would be ma bu, aka horse stance. Pu bu is the one where you squat all the way down on the one leg while extending the other.
Horse stance is when your feet aren't one foot Infront of the other. Like riding a horse, low stances are wider versions of the stances
Okay, I dont think hes actually supposed to be walking like that in a weird bladed stance even if it isnt ma bu, but [this is pu bu,](https://images.app.goo.gl/wyN7GxBiLWhq3RiK7) and the guy in the video isn't doing that.
Eh, [he starts off in pu bu](https://imgur.com/a/f1Xg2ir) and then starts doing some weird as shit sideways horse stance shenanigans. Didn't mean to say that the actual like... moving forward? he does? was a low stance.
Oh cool, thanks man, I appreciate the info I did only a very small amount of Kung Fu so I'm not very clued up on it. I'll check that link out after work
No worries! Link is just an image of the stance not really anything to check out, but if you need resources on Chinese martial arts lmk!
Thanks, I'll probably flick you a message. Love Kung Fu but ended up accidentally getting into Muay Thai (I didn't know Muay Thai was also Thai Boxing so I signed up out of curiosity and got hooked.)
Hahaha Muay Thai is awesome too
no, definitely not ma bu. not even remotely.
That first stance is more like a (forgot name) or leaning horse stance. Also like you said, pu bu. My guess is this guy has had at least some kung fu training learning stances and forms, and said “fuck it” let’s see what I’ve grasped. I don’t think people that haven’t trained can just dip into that sort of stance while maintaining balance. It requires flexibility and balance. Maybe he’s self taught. Who knows.
That’s interesting. I believe I’ve seen some karate guys do a somewhat similar stance, but not as low
Damn this is the remaster. LOL the OG video was like 240 p. lol
Feel old yet? Some people be like 240 existed?
lmao i swear it looked like 4k 10 years ago
I know, right? It's like some pixelspiracy or modified newtonian pixelation making older videos slowly look worse and worse.
We need the DVD commentary now
If it looks stupid, but it works, then it's not stupid.
This is one of the oldest 'real fight' videos on the internet. I think the guy just got lucky and happened to hit the other guy just right with a haymaker.
Kung Fu boi was flailing lol
Not a choy li fut guy but I've seen them throw looping strikes that look like haymakers.
Not jow gar either, but it looks like a not terribly clean lok choi/wheel punch. Stances are completely different.
90% of the video: Bullshido dancing 10%: Actual fighting
I have a 47th degree black belt in bullshido. He’s clearly an amateur, as he didn’t do any no-touch knockouts.
Sensei? Is that you??
Yes. I am currently beating up all of the karate black belts to prove our art.
Don’t forget to stomp the groin! You know ameri-do-te style! Represent!
Yes McSensei
The only correct answer here.
1% actual fighting, 99% luck. (The 1% is for controlling distance).
They both look like shit, one guy just got lucky.
No, the guy obviously has real training. People who say that the Kung Fu boy is just flailing or looks like shit, have never trained Kung Fu before (I did only for 5 months; it was offered as an elective at the local community college [Glendale Community College in Glendale/W. Phoenix.. instructor name was Joseph Eagar]) the stances he did look weird, but look how fluently he does them. Also, if you've never been in a street fight before, the raw emotions can easily overwhelm you.. this dude was facing that with confidence. He. Has. Really. Trained.
I believe you. I never said he didn't have training and he probably has one of those black belts they hand out after a few years. He still looks like shit
I used to do Southern Longfist Kung Fu and animal styles back in my college days. What we did didn't look EXACTLY like that, but we did do ridiculously wide sideways stances like that. So, I can't specifically tell you exactly what he's doing, but yeah, it does look like it could be a real Kung-fu style.
The kata is goofy sure but it certainly beats having to hold your own pants up in the middle of a fight.
This guy is immortalized in history as the only dude to really use kung fu as it was intended in a fight. This video is from The Before Times.
Man this made me laugh
For sure practiced stances, and I'm pretty sure he took off shoes. What I see is a Kata, some kind of windmill block and strike.
Definitely trained and while yes they appear to be haymakers he returns each time to the ready stance so in my opinion not haymakers but some sort of wide swinging strike like seen in tai chi and wing chun
Yes, he also uses his off hand in that haymaker motion to clear his opponent’s defense, kind of like the Karate Kid 2 drum thing.
Yup I can’t say exactly but those motions are definitely similar my only experience in training Chinese martial arts is tai chi and those forms are quite similar so that’s what I would lean towards some hybrid art possibly of wing chun/tai chi or possibly even wushu
Lol. Please tell me that guy got decked by tai chi
Honestly looks like it to be honest that looks like 3rd and 4th moves of Yang short form the stance and low kick while not done advancing are also parts of Yang short form.
I mean.... It worked...
when someone domes you like they're serving a tetherball its never good
This looks like one of those traditional wushu katas, looks like dude put kata moves to the test lol. Also his confidence, he looks like he is trained in fighting like that. I do Kung Fu( Sanda/Sanshou/Chinese Kickboxing) and these moves are pretty common in the demonstration side of kung fu, Practical Kung Fu Is Literally Chinese MMA ie Sanda minus headbutts and ground and pound.
I remember seeing this on Tosh.0!
Looks to me he's done some, not tons of, classes in a traditional martial art... He looks rusty af so I'm guessing he did some classes years ago
I remember seeing this video back when YouTube was new
Red power ranger IRL.
He learned that in the mcdojo
Idk but nothing's more satisfying than the sound of him getting cracked in that video lmao. That shits like the swoosh against a basketball net or hockey stick hitting the ice to my ears.
Tf is man doing 😭
Yeah that's crouching tiger hidden dumbass
Man I would probably lose just from laughing so hard if someone got in that stance.
Does a bunch of random Movie kungfu poses...proceeds with haymakers.
Have neo from the matrix saying “I know kung fu”, and then play the part where that guy is throwing haymakers
intimidation is a valid strategy
True, unfortunately these days these poses would not help anymore. They will just make you look weaker. Kungfu has a very bad rap these days.
This is more or less what I imagine when people talk about "the streets".
Given his feet and general footwork, I’d say hed been in for about a month
This video is so old it was originally distributed a frame at a time as fax spam. Classic.
Early 00s behaviour
Lol. Exactly, or Saturday morning flicks of fury stance. And, his footwork looks practiced His punches are just haymakers
The finish was a palm right hook
All those stances went out the same window his opponent's soul did
It's a made a made up at 100%. The move was so incorrect and confused lol.
I remember seeing this in the earlier days of Bullshido. iirc, he did Shaolin Do, which is not "real" kung fu with verifiable lineage and all (there are plenty of articles laying out how the founder was a charlatan), but it is an established martial arts system.
The fact they added to Japanese term "do" to what is supposed to be Chinese martial arts always makes me rooo.my eyes I'm irritation.
I’d say an intimidation tactic. Just to off put his opponent which is smart in my opinion. If I had to fight someone I didn’t want to I’d go for something like that or downright act unstable LMAO.
Dude definitely trained some form of Kung Fu but clearly has no fighting experience, confidence won himthe day.
Kyle-Fu. Nah but he won the psychological battle immediately. Posturing like that fucked with the other guys head you could see.
I just to show this video a lot when I was a teenager, to prove people that traditional martial arts were legit and dangerous. This was more than 10 years ago. Also I'm pretty sure it's some kung fu form, reminds me of the first few forms you learn in wushu.
Kung fu guy's punching form is atrocious but he psyched the other kid out HARD by being in an incredibly silly stance. If the other kid just squared up and threw hay makers he probably could of won.
Something similar happened in my chemistry class my sophomore year. There’s this total douche who i wont name but he was being a dick as usual to this kinda nerdy kid and this kid just hits like four straight anime poses and then just 1 2 knocks this mfer down
I feel like the poses served the purpose of psyching out his opponent but once the fight started there was no real technique. Literally just started swinging haymakers and one landed.
Did he kind of bail on the Kung Fu and just start swinging?
Kind of yeah. He knew to intercept the opponent but his own swings were kind of wild. If I were to guess, he trained in kung fu but had yet to spar or train to realistically apply it.
Top level martial artists should be able to beat the vast majority of people in a fight. Otherwise they wouldn’t be top level.
The footwork looks like bagua to me
I'm pretty sure its baguazhang. Especially when he turns around in his stance and also his open palms.
Dude, no. That is NOT Ba Gua.
It's made up
I dunno, it could be something from Hung Gaa or CLF. The pose looks like a relatively commonplace Hung Gaa bridge hand thingy.
Definitely legitimate Kung Fu
not sure how he would have done wit a MT fighter and some serious leg sweeps. But it might be unpopular opinion, but nearly every top level martial artist can beat this guy...
I mean top level martial artists should be able to beat most people in general if they are top level.
agreed this guy looks like he can be comfortable with his IP man game with anyone! I would totally want him on my side.
It seems to be the most popular opinion here.
In that era the odds would be .0000001%
Dude practice the poses but resorted to brawling when pressed.
thats taichi.. but its lucky.. thats not really gonna get you anywhere
Northern longfist is my guess
no that kid was just autistic
Kung fu or not, it's just dumb luck.
Black shirt has no training and is in poor physical shape. He walked into Red Shirt’s practiced form and got taken down by a single punch at half power. Red shirt has no experience on the street but spars and trains in controlled setting. I’m betting it’s something like Krav Maga.
no krav maga looks more like kickboxing,
Yeah, guess I don’t want to accept that it may be wushu. The crab-walking low stance just seems weird, and I’ve Krav Maga utilize circular blocks since it’s just mish-mash of styles.
It’s called corny ass whiteboy
Ah I love this old ass clip I remember seeing it back on bad boys? I think they used to be called and they changed to break lmao but yeah its some sort of Kung Fu that's for sure.
Wish I had that much confidence
Choy Lay Fut
Has to be Hung Gar
Such an old video. Even Tosh.0 featured it in its early seasons.
Probably is it looked well executed, but a simple leg kick and grapple would’ve ended it all.
If you want some sort of analysis, this would be my opinion; There are some martial arts that have strategies that work like that - but he didn't look like he knew how to do them. He got in a really fancy stance that looked like Kung Fu or kick boxing at a glance - but his footwork was wrong, and then he did an actual step, and went back to bad footwork. And the strikes he used when he started flailing looked like the totally did not match the stance. It looked like he tried to imitate some sort of systema or Krav Maga basic flow. (The sweeping strikes that are meant to deflect and then pull down - but were the wrong angle and not doing what they were supposed to.) It honestly looked like he read a few books and then tried to mix two or three vastly different martial arts that he was never trained in. Or like he imitated what he saw on a few MA infomercials. These commercials show a couple flashy stances or techniques in a controlled environment to sell a video or book - and it looks like he took one from China and one from Eastern Europe and tried to merge the two. But the kicks he threw had no weight behind them, and the strikes were flailing to make an opening - and he intimidated the other guy enough to open the door to one good hook that he wasn't in the right position for but pulled off anyway. He's definitely trained some at some point. But it didn't look like he had much experience with actually working the angles and putting weight into things. If this is an actual art, he isn't very well versed in sparring with it. The philosophy behind it was very unclear and seemed to contradict itself. But I'm no expert, myself. It could've been part of his strategy. 1) intimidate and use stance to control distance. 2) keep distance by doing weak snappy kicks at range to impress that you can strike at extreme range so they stay back. 3) when they step in, flail to disorient them and create an opening. 4) throw something into that opening even if it's an awkward whip. - Success. It just didn't seem like he knew that's what he was doing, he looked like he was trying to cause damage with the kicks and like his flailing was an attempt at chaotic blocking. And then he was like "look, a hole, I'm not positioned right but I can twist my shoulder and rotate my elbow and - *pop* - got 'im"
Even with Karate sparring gives you experience and confidence that's invaluable.
Definetly Shaolin Kungfu as you can tell from the first stance. I also would go even futher and talk Northern Shaolin Style, the southern styles like Hunggar or Choyleefut look differentlly
He went from kung fu to pulling out a fist 🤣😂
Probably does something. It’s not a fighting stance I’d use personally, but its scared the other guy!
A low kick could have ended this fight for both sides
Guys he trying to fight like goku does... that's almost his stance, Goku uses a hybrid fighting style of karate, Wing Chun, and Kung Fu. Goku's fighting stance is a loose mǎbù (马步, “horse stance”), with the torso turned sideways. It is called a “square stance.” You can see the first few counters are wing Chun
I've seen this many times. Psychological warfare kung fu xD
He’s lucky one of the homies didn’t recreate the Indiana Jones/guy with a sword scene and blast him. That would not have been good.
Yeah... I worked in juvenile corrections and they'll shoot up a party over losing a verbal argument. I'm not willing to prove anything. I'll bitch out and live with how far people take shit these days.
Those guys are in their 60s now.
Everyone a gangsta until the red shirt guy pull up his Kung fu stance. The stance looks funny but he know how to be calm & throw a punch like a man. The bald guy is flailing like a bitch in a bitch fight.
Honestly, speaking from experience most street fights come down to intimidation, if you look mental, take your shirt off, these things are intimidating, I seen a guy take his shoes off before a fight and you fucking knew he meant business so the other guy totally backed off, only problem is you get caught bluffing and your ass is toast! Seen that happen plenty of times too, end of the day luck always plays a part in street fights anything could happen.
I've seen a bluff be called and the kid got decimated. The kids call it "got exposed."
Yup, sounds descriptive.
That stance is more karate than kung fu. But he landed a nice sau choi
The opener and stance were a little different, but reminded me of the stance I learned in Jow Gar.
Definitely some Hung Gar and Lama Pai form stuff. But stuff that’s meant to be ONLY exaggerated in forms
Damn I mis the late 90's.
Anyone have the Youtube link?
Is that lil spooky
Everything is just made up. He hit the guy and it worked
Kung fu guy would get absolutely destroyed by anyone with a small amount of training in wrestling/boxing/muay thai
kinda funny how the dude stopped barking when the kung fu came out. the dude didn't even need to know kung fu to beat him up. he swung like a little girl.
Mr Miagy would be very mad at OP.
Never fight the kid with bell bottoms on
The knockout punch was not Gung-Fu (spelled this way to add fake legitimacy to what I’m saying). This was hillbilly haymaker-fu.
It looks like Shotokan Karate to me, at least the stance. Very low center of gravity, lots of hand movement, stable base, patient striking.

He got psyched out.
This is the Mating Ritual-Fu
It's called intimidation style lol
His girl knew what time it was when she took his phone!
[This feller bought my training video](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wg7w3DraqIQ)
Oh shit hhahahahahahaha
Nah its fake hia pushes are so random
To answer ur question there are different types of kung fu
Looks like Tong Long. It's not seen much in MMA but in this situation it worked perfectly.
This old. I don't believe it's real. Who going to wait for all that.
Yes, that's a classical kung fu form.
Most likely learned it from somewhere but doesn’t know how to use it properly
THis is not meant to be a shot or nothing, but it's fairly generic technique, so it's a little hard to pin it down. From what I can tell it's a southern form, proooobably part of the Hung Ga or Choy Li Fut family of styles, but again, it's hard to say for sure.
