Says you dick head. Maybe not your TCMA, but they represent Nialls in that format under those conditions. If you can't be respectful of that, regardless of how you ultimately judge it in private then you are an ignorant dick head asking for a problem.
Sorry
I also never said that it should look like TCMA for styles' sake. It can't look the same because the techniques and strategies are different. Looking different is an effect, not the cause.. And, if it's my statement that the hand techniques looked sloppy, it's because they were. I also said the throws looked good. I wasn't being unfair or talking shit.
When you have a trained fighter competitvely trying to rip your head off it equalises a lot of this shit down to looking similar - because of pragmatism and the respective levels.
You can't prove your ideal/ alternative works at competitive levels because you are not tested against real fighters of your weight class. The fact that you consistently beleive it is otherwise tells me you have not been on the business end of a decent same size or bigger trained fighter not doing you any favours.
Is this some kind of tag team? Niall got tired so you jump in? Why haven't either of you added me on WeChat and had a look?
No bollocks.. I'm not his best mate, best fan or anything like that, we've had the odd heated discussion ourselves. I went through this with you before and I actually afforded you some benefit of the doubt. It's more to do with the recent tai chi vs. MMA video and discussions going on that I feel I want to talk about this stuff again. I can give my opinion on what I saw from you and your general attitude to certain things, otherwise don't put it out there and then make 100 excuses.
Nothing else has been forthcoming on here clip wise. You are not good enough or special enough for me to add you to anything, I don't have the app and am not interested in getting it. You think you're the only person who can look good in conducive conditions. Yea I bet your masters are brilliant at that. Try some real pressure if you know what that is, and let's fucking see it. That affords you the right to say anything you like in my book.
Why do you claim to do TCMA and talk shit about China and TCMA and people that have devoted many, many years of their lives to slum it here and try to learn these arts in the country they came from? Have either of you been to China? Lived here? It's not a goddamn picnic.
Yea whatever. I try to talk to you sincerely thinking you might not get defensive and emotional but it's too much to ask, I should know better for sure.
Every time I take a challenge in a park I am putting myself at risk. No referees. A foreigner in a very xenophobic country. Don't scoff at my non-competition training. It has worked for me and isn't any less TCMA than someone that fights in competitions. Go to a boxing gym and a champion and an amateur will both look like they are training and sparring boxing because boxing looks like fucking boxing and there is no mistaking it.
The levels are miles apart so stop being condescending. We've seen what pure Chinese TCMA guys are capable of against fighters.
The level is an embarrassment. But don't mistake that evidence based opinion for some blanket opinion on all and sundry.
That's where you start to create a strawman. I know there's gems in all KF, but that includes a level of humility and appreciation you sadly lack.
Yet, not one is yet capable to support any idea that the training and its end product is comparible in effectiveness to what any combat sport fighters can do in any given format and remain largely as practiced in conducive conditions and environments. Come on Why doesn't one of the many great masters you have lauded here (TCC and others) fight a guy and save us all embarrassment and arguments on how KF 'should' look? You're the one making claims about looks, onus on you or shut up. Will anyone real from over ever step up and end all this bollocks please, then we can all know the real TCMA. Maybe there's one or two left you didn't change your mind about.
So keep in mind you might still change your mind about a lot of this down the road.
Anyways, I've said enough to both of you. I've provided evidence and you both ignore it. Your agenda is clear. TCMA are dead in China and you are all that is left. Good for you.
Ha ha I didn't say that but good for you LOL. My agenda?
Come on man. Your whole narrative for ages has been crystal. I don't need to convince others about how you've talked, and I reckon you don't need reminding of all the charlie big bollocks you have spouted around here. When you get to the West maybe I will come and learn the real shit from you.
happy training.
