Drunken Boxing.......useless?

Um Thggish, you say that you dont or dislike kung fu styles, you you list that you practise kung fu ? Just wondering

 

--> Styles: kung fu, muay thai, wrestling,

[Thuggish]

first, ignore that thing i just havent gotten around to changing it- and yea i did for a little while and was not impressed.

[Drunken Monkey]

so can you tell us what style it was?

 

or was just one of them really bad american things i keep hearing about?

[ahultqui]

Dont get me wrong, i was just wondering.... But anyway, I need to go to sleep. Just got back from Europe business trip and man I am tired.

[Thuggish]

i dunno it was whatever style kung fu- if you ask me all that stuff (karate, wing chun, tkd, etc) sucks and its0"fighting" and training has little basis in reality.

[Drunken Monkey]

no offence but how could you spend some time leanring at a kung fu school and not know the name of the style...

 

strikes me as being a bit odd.

 

do you mean that they never mentioned its name?

Um maybe this is just my new commer type view of MA in general, but I dont see the fighting aspect of it being taught solely for the real world, sure LOTS of people go to MA classes to learn self defence, but I dont think in essence, that this is the real driving force behind teaching MA and why MA has become so popular around the world.

 

I also dont believe that the training has to be based in reality, the training itself can be used for a number of reasons, Self Defence as I mentioned above, fitness, mental and religious well being ?
