Lol, yeah using things from MOVIES, of all places to try to bring an argument from. Thats FAKE and the people in movies dont even fight realistically, and their form is practically not there. They fight to be DRAMATIC, so really, that was quite possibly the stupidest thing in this entire thread. Not like you'd be able to see that, you and everyone else in here has never boxed, fought a boxer, or fought another martial artist.
To be honest I learned long ago... not to argue with forginers online they don't listen or even try to realize what you're saying... when they think they're right it doesn't matter what you say they'll never change their opinion so its best just to appease them with things you know that match with what they support
like here
Boxing ----> Muay Thai
etc like that...
but in all reality I don't see a boxer ever beating a Monk who has spent all their life learning to be calm and tranquil... if for nothing else for the sole fact that the westren boxer will get agry and rage etc.. while the monk will remain calm and clear...
and you said that about swords? you obvisously not seen the people who practice Kendo... they do carry their Shinai... and sometimes protect themselves there with if their attacked... >_>
so yea... but like I said... its pointless to argue even if you're right because you can never pursade someone otherwise when they're so set in their opinion....
edit: Watch teh video.... watch his self control... if it was reversed... the westrener would've just kept punching and punching punching he woudln't have stoped because well westrens only learn HELL YEA LETS KICK ASS.... and not the sancity of life or self control...
Yeah, you keep saying I dont listen and dont argue with foreigners. Well thats nice, refuse to listen to someone elses side of an argument because youre ignorant and biased against foreigners, despite you having your information wrong like saying Maui Thai came before boxing (LOL) and not knowing a single thing of the subject.
"Well, he has his historic information correct, hes actually boxed before, hes fought other boxers, and hes fought martial artists, he seems to know all this stuff but since he wont drop his arguement since hes expierenced in that area and im not (other than what I seen on TV) I'm just gonna insult his character and call him a foreigner who doesnt listen"
[quote name='Kaze Araki']Truth to be told, Boxing is a sport not a combat technique.
More than often, special forces in many countries are trained in one form of martial arts or another - boxing is just supplementary.
Boxing relies heavily on muscle only, while martial arts emphasize on both muscle and chi (internal energy).
Xin Yi Liue He Quan and Ba Ji Quan are very different from Taichi Quan or Shaolin martial arts - they are short ranged with blows that are designed to kill the opponent as fast as possible. Indeed, people like Lee Shu Wen most of the time kill their opponents just with a single blow.

LOL! You dont know what youre talking about!!! In boxing you ARENT allowed to lift weight's due to the fact that it contracts your tendons and limits your flexibility, which 1) Doesnt allow a full weight shift 2) Doesnt let you punch as hard 3) Reduced EXPLOSIVE strength which comes from twitch fibers in your body and isnt gained from lifting weights. The only ones that are allowed to lift weights are the HEAVY weights, and thats because they need to shed FAT and replace it with MUSCLE of the same weight.
And yeah OK buddy, I know youre not trying to tell me some fancy artsy type fighting style is actually MORE of a fighting style that one thats FULL practicality with no BS. And it is a sport for a reason pal, due to the fact that its no fancy shit and just full on fighting, thats what people wanna watch, thats why its more effective. That other fighting stuff has other factors which are pointless. And it is a combat style, its been around before most of your kung fu stuff and it was an ancient Rome where the fighters would often beat another to death. Get some education, stop watching movies.
And this crap about "omg boxers are angry kong fu men are cool" dont know anything about fighting. Because in order to fight well and actually be good at your sport you cant fight angry. Angry = losing. Look up Joe Louis or Mohammad Ali, two of the greatest fighters (with Ali being regarded as the greatest of all time) who never once let anger get to them. Ali was known for joking around too much and clowning his opponent because he was so good.
This thread is fulled with terrible biased against westerners saying "OMG THEIR ALL ANGRY" and all that junk. Not only that but the common use of things like movies as evidence (lol) and the idea that someone with a friggen sword is having a fair fight with someone with their bare fists (what a great logic).
