Jiang is very athletic, he has a decent iron palm that is all true and admirable (if you are into such things), but other than that he is a rip-off!...
The fact that Jiang (himself a striker) gets knocked out by a unknown grappler, without Jiang showing any specifics of the style he claims to have mastered is just another proof that he is not what he claims to be.

I'm with FN on this one.
This German guy trains hard, fights, and has a military/private bodyguard background, but his monkey boxing is pretty much his own...umm....shall we say "interpretation?" His Xinyiba (心意把) also appears suspect.

But what I do know, is I have never, ever heard anyone in Thailand, talk about Hanuman boxing or Muay Boran etc being labelled as this, this is as far as I know complete bullshit.
Look I could care less if someone wants to make up their own shit and call is whatever they like, just don't lie and sell on your fugazi to unsuspecting gullible kids for thousands of dollars.
