[@TianVtCH]

Everyone's saying grown man vs kid. But quite frankly, they both look pretty young. I'm gonna guess Kung Fu guy's in his early mid 20s, and the Muay Thai guy's somewhere between 18 to 22. Ironically, it's clear to me that Kung Fu guy had way more sparring experience. And more to the point, Kung Fu guy clearly had more experience sparring Muay Thai guys than Muay Thai guy had with Kung Fu people. Kung Fu guy clearly knows the Muay Thai newbie playbook. And quite frankly, Muay Thai newbies are super predictable. They generally only know Leg Kick and basic 1-2 punches, and basic clinch work. Kung Fu guy has the reach advantage, and with his out stretched arm, easily measures and keeps out of Muay Thai guy's effective kick range and can choose to dance out of it, or stuff it with his jab. Once he frustrates Muay Thai newbie's inability to get proper leg kicks in, Muay Thai newbie's just down to ineffective and hyper telegraphed punches and he just dances all over with superior range management. By the last round, it looks like Kung Fu guy was really just taunting the Muay Thai newbie by just outclassing Muay Thai newbie in his own game. Kung Fu guy was doing low kicks, standing and banging in the pocket and just playing the Muay Thai game, and is just better at in-fighting. I get the feeling this wasn't a Dojo Storm. It almost looked like someone brought this Kung Fu guy in to humble the Muay Thai newbie. There's a certain playfulness from Kung Fu guy that makes me think like, maybe he's a friend of the Muay Thai coach or something. Or maybe a former student at the gym that got called back in to humble the newbie.

this kung fu guys "flair" is really strong. its harder to get past and deal with than it looks like on camera. expecially for someone who isnt advanced. this kung fu guy is bringing our MT guy into an entirely foreign realm. things change before he can process them and adapt to them. thats why he cant "find his rhythm" and he keeps "playing into kung fu guys game". the kid has his rhythm. he just keeps stopping the track, because he doesnt know how to proceed. hes not fighting to kung fu guys rhythm. kung fu guy is making MT guy fight WITHOUT rhythm.

[@tooru9387]

@@elbagnador3311 I guess what he’s trying to say is that a lot of people think kung fu is just for performance and to look cool cause of all the forms it contains but it can be as applicable as any other martial art as long as you fight with it.

[@obeastness]

the dojostormer seems to have some muay thai knowledge, perhaps even more muay thai experience than the muay thai fighter. Not only that but the kung fu guy clearly has studied multiple forms of kung fu, I've never seen this feigning injury fighting style but it's pretty interesting. Many people seem to be misinformed that it's the school that makes the student better, however in reality, it's the student that uses the school as a tool to improve, ultimately your preparedness for self defense is your own responsibility. There are two main factors as to why traditional hand to hand Chinese martial arts have developed such a poor reputation, 1.Context, These martial arts are now removed from their time periods and the context that is required to interpret them is lost to time. 2.Teacher Quality, Among the people who are Kung Fu instructors, they are not worthy of their station, mainly they are a bit full of themself, they also almost always lack any introspection. The teacher Quality issue both stunts the growth of the school, as well as insures that the Context issue will worsen due to that lack of introspection and lack of merit.

[@xdragon2k]

Kungfu guy is a magician. He knows how to do misdirection before punching with the other hand. Once the misdirection stopped working, the misdirecting hand goes in for an actual hook.

[@DrTzeus]

Stiff Arm Jab is awesome. People who spar in big gloves often forget about it because they hide behind double glove guard in sparring too much, but in a fight the gloves are not always doubled up and the jab easily finds the chin. Kung Fu also used a raised leg to thwart Muay Thai round house kicks, and with groin off limits the MT was not able to try push kick for fear of a foul. Third round the Kung Fu used Lifting Punch Uppercut to great effect. He also stood closer than normal and did not step backwards to ruin his timing. He kicked low to knock him down with a sweep kick several times too. I think it is WEAK to claim the Muay Thai guy must have been a beginner because he lost, we have no idea how much training the "kid" had. Many of you are small men, so you are all "kids" and you are saying Muay Thai has no chance against taller people? I propose the Muay Thai gym does not put better people in because when they fail to succed, then what? Kung Fu used different timing and methods which MT had no experience with and the "incest" sparring from sport practice gave Muay Thai only a skill against other Muay Thai.

[@ssths]

A lot of people are talking about the size difference. Yeah, he's a bit bigger. But this is a muay Thai gym, and the kung fu guy is literally not trying

[@baeshin]

He's not a "little bigger". He's much heavier and a little taller. That said, weird seeing a "Muy Thai gym" and not see a single Thai trainer or fighter in the building... that's the funniest part to me.

[@justinAclark2075]

@baeshin the video has Muay Thai in the title, and the fighter from this gym was obviously using Muay Thai kicks. So yeah, I think everybody is going to assume it's Muay Thai. And the taller guy has a much less muscular build compared to the shorter fighter. I think y'all are just chugging the cope juice.

[@baeshin]

@@justinAclark2075 The video says Muy Thai, but no one can speak on the quality of teaching at that school. Could be a kick boxing school or even Sanda haha. No one truly knows and it's lame to assume. Also, that's why I asked in another comment where the gym was located. If it's in Beijing, I can literally go there myself. Not a single Thai trainer to be seen in the video. Everyone is Chinese. Small guy wasn't muscular, he was just skinny. Bigger guy just had more body fat, so hard to tell how much muscle he actually has. Bigger muscles don't win fights and you know that, so not sure why you mentioned that. As far as "I think y'all are just chugging the cope juice" Who TF is y'all? All I'm saying is the title is trash. Should been "Grown man fights small teenager". I swear you internet dudes remind me of middle schoolers after getting their hands on a thesaurus. You learn a new word overuse it until it has no meaning. I don't think anyone is coping. It's literally a bigger guy fighting a smaller guy. Which is what most people are pointing out.

[@justinAclark2075]

@baeshin sorry, I often throw "y'all" in there when it's an opinion I see stated frequently in the comments. You've got some good points that suggest it may not be a Muay Thai gym. But those leg chops, as far as I know, originate with Muay Thai. And I would guess that's the reason everyone is thinking Muay Thai. And seeing the similarities, I don't think that's a big point here. As per their bodies, I'm just saying one looks like a regular dude who doesn't train, and one looks like a younger dude who is smaller, but definitely does appear as though they train. I would guess that in terms of trained athleticism, the younger dude had the advantage. Which leads me to part of what makes a lot of "Kung Fu" styles effective in certain areas. Free and natural movements sometimes work better than rigid ones you have to practice over and over for years. Clearly, we see that the freedom to move however he felt comfortable gave the bigger guy an advantage that neutralized the speed and aggression from the smaller one. It was the fact the smaller guy trained to expect certain things, and the bigger guy trains to expect just about anything. It may not have been a totally fair match up, but the expectation was that the smaller guy was going to win. At least, that's the only reason I could think of for why they would choose him instead of someone the same height as the guy storming the dojo. I'm not sitting here claiming the Kung Fu guy has passed the exams and now he deserves respect. I'm saying that it's very obvious that his style is the overwhelming advantage he had here. I can see it getting harder for him with bigger opponents, but if they had footage of him losing to a bigger opponent, wouldn't they have shared that footage? Either they were impressed enough to let it go, or they had him fight more, and he kept winning. Regardless, his point was made.

[@justinAclark2075]

@@baeshin also, sidenote: everyone in the comment section is an "internet dude."

[@justinAclark2075]

I could be wrong, but it seems to me as though the trolling also helps him by putting him in positions most people aren't expecting. And he showed that he could move in any direction, while maintaining defense, as well as on offense. I think the trolling is combined with trained footwork, and that the kung fu guy could probably do regular stances as well.

This is fun to watch. Definitely a big difference in experience, but also looks like the kung fu guy has some useful techniques. Would be fun to study or add to repertoire after having spent much time in the other arts typically seen used in MMA.

[@ssths]

this is a neat example of the difference between self defense martial arts and combat sports arts, and their effectiveness in different domains, and how they dont overlap a ton. see how the kung fu guy can just casually evade the Muay Thai guy? Ever see a Jackie Chan Movie? thats what this guys doing. Thats what kung fu is for. its not for dueling in an agreed upon setting, where both of you make an agreement to engage with each other and limit the fight to only safe techniques. when you dont care about sticking around, muay thai, boxing, etc, suddenly become way less effective. because the context has changed. and those arts arent meant for the context of self defense. ever wonder why martial arts do large movements, why the over exaggerate things in training? one reason is it makes mistakes easier to see for the teacher, and big movements make it easier to teach concepts, and then shrink them later. but the other reason is, you should only be doing your attacks and counters against those big exaggerated moves, berceuse thats what real violence is gonna look like. violent criminals cant just plod up to you in a muay thai stance and demand your money. if you run they gotta catch you, and stop you from ratting. they have to rob you quick, so they try to overwhelm you in seconds, grab the cash and make a dash. doing that means theyre gonna be moving forward, they may be over extending, reaching out trying to grab you as you retreat etc. a bunch of shit that makes things like sweeps, wrist locks, trapping etc pretty easy. you wont see that in a ring the same way. So the skills of traditional arts are less appropriate for that environment.

[@UltraMagnus3000]

@UnjustVerdict sanda is just mix of all kung fu styles with added rules

[@kaspersmilez]

I stopped reading when bro said "Have you seen a Jackie Chan movie"

[@ssths]

@UnjustVerdict "Sports martial arts work because of all the pressure testing that goes on. The only decent Kungfu is Sanda and that’s because it is like kick-boxing!" completely disagree. Sports martial arts dont work because of pressure testing. They work because they are specifically tailor made for the format theyre used in. Karate kickboxers pressure test, but they usually get beat up in boxing matches, unless they get boxing training, or study boxing and adapt their style to deal with it. Also not all Sanda looks like kickboxing. there is more kung fu looking sanda. because sanda is a blend of basic kung fu. There are plenty of other effective kung fu styles though. just not many people doing them effectively. and even less who are effective and can *convey* that effectiveness to others. Self defense techniques are hard to explain to people with no education in any self defense system. "There isn’t a ton of evidence of traditional Kungfu being super effective in the streets." Sure. Theres not a ton of kung fu being taught in places where there is crime going on AND people film everything AND that crime doesnt involve weapons. for many systems theres just not a ton being taught at all. And of that which is taught, only a small percentage is actually being taught well. That said. understand that kung fu includes anything youd see in any combat sport. So, if you argue combat sport arts work, youre supporting an argument of traditional arts having effective techniques. "There is so much evidence of combat sports arts working in the street, you can literally see tons of video evidence of arts like boxing, BJJ, wrestling etc working there." Just because something works doesnt mean it works the best. Also, we have to be specific about what its supposedly working at. ive seen plenty of street fights, and combat sports can help there, when the opponent isnt trying to severely hurt them. But I also work in a prison, and ive seen martial artists of various types deal with various levels of violence. and MMA doesnt fare better than anything else. id argue it fares worse in anything but head to head agreed upon fighting. one thing i can also say is combat sports usually make it easier to arrest you. because punches, knees and elbows can open cuts, cause fractures etc. single legging someone on concrete can crack their skull and kill them. they could land and break their arm, or land on their elbow, or damage their lower back etc. traditional arts have answers for this stuff that is specifically trained for (if the teachers doing things right). they dont punch to the face. they elbow the body. they focus on trips maintaining contact with the ground, some arts use palm strikes to the face. they lots of standing arm locks and wrist locks to push people away or pin them down for help to arrive etc. "If an art teaches good fundamentals it will work anywhere whether it be a ring or the streets." This only appears true because sport arts and defensive arts have the same basic attacks. but you will do things in sport arts that you wont in traditional arts, because traditional arts think about knives, or about environment. And they consider relative risk, in a different way than combat sports focused arts. (when taught properly) "If you want to be an effective fighter then you will need to learn techniques from these “sports” arts like how to box and how to grapple. Those two are fundamental." I disagree, but I recognize that traditional arts arent made *for* "fighting". Theyre meant for self defense. So, someone would have to create a fighting art out of parts of the self defense art. kinda like how karate created its various contest fighting formats, or how sport muay thai drops some of the techniques of traditional Muay Thai. "The thing about a lot of traditional martial arts schools is they don’t bother pressure testing their stuff through sparring, it’s all theoretical." I agree more than disagree. But there are more hard sparring traditional schools than people think. they just arent commercial. also, of the schools that dont pressure test, many dont have much theory either.

In my experience it does also matter in striking. If the strike is coming in from a larger body with decent body structure it can at shake you. On the defensive end its like the cartoons where you can pound a huge man in the body and not phase them (like yesterdays video from FCB). You can always have a chance to KO someone hitting them in the head hard enough, but a bigger man can use a huge neck to absorb concussive strikes. Disclaimer: Hobbyist not a professional.

Being relaxed helps a lot. The older fighter was having fun and felt unthreatened and stayed calm. By the third round he turned it up a bit and the kid wasn't conditioned well enough to take the damage. A more seasoned fighter would have timed his attacks and used better angles to get through to the Kung-Fu fighter and it would have changed the dynamic of the fight earlier on. The kid kept trying the same thing, making him extraordinarily predictable as he repeatedly ate those stiff jabs, jabs that hung out in the open long enough for other fighters to exploit. As far as this fight goes, one guy had far, far more experience than the other and it gave him confidence and fearlessness.

So all you have to do is fight a young teenager and run away from him 50% of the time and "kung fu" works great

[@sidekickcomedy]

Kung fu guy is athletic and gifted so I think he wasted his time learning from traditional kung fu but if his dojo allowed him to experiment and be himself then maybe that’s why he could do this kind of things

[@thomaslandcaster9638]

That's why they have the saying, the fighter makes the style work and not the other way around.

[@xXBonBonChocolateXx]

This reminds me of that Jackie Chan movie called The Hyena, where he uses “Emotional Kung Fu” lol

[@machinegunftw86]

We gotta make kung fu villians great again in movies.🤣🤣 We need a evil liu kang as the next final boss for mortal kombat.🤣🤣

[@gi7685]

Dude is a kung fu clown🤣

[@ajaniwinston8117]

So the thing that this guy shows that a lot of kung fu guys lack.. he has great timing, sense of distance, and evasion. He waits for the guy to strike and moves at the last moment, with good repositioning. He never missed with the counter stiff jab, which neutralized the MT, because MT has sucks footwork. It's not really that the young guy is inexperienced, it's just what happens when someone encounters a style they haven't trained for. Most MT fighters to reposition as a counter to a strike, so the kid would have never experienced it or trained for it.

[@khorweesiong]

The Muay Thai gym didn’t respect the kung fu guy and the little guy suffered. It’s obvious the little guy is outclassed and the bigger guy is not just bigger and stronger but also more experienced

[@cornpopwasabaddude4729]

Forget about Muay Thai, I'm going to be a Kungfu Master!

[@kosal00111]

This proves, regardless of the styles, the better fighter wins the fight.

[@RollinBoy]

This guy is entertaining, deceptive jab interesting vertical fist shovel hook/uppercuts, love the ball rub and facial pain contortions 😂

[@kalivr1908]

Proof physics and sparring experience trump so called basics imposed by the gym

[@N0P3Sugar]

But in the big leagues of MMA muay Thai is trashing any kung fu master until there is none who wants to compete again.

[@jonathanryals9934]

perfect impersonation of woody allen there at the end

Waiting for the Kung Fu to show up.

[@K4iT3c]

Man, is there a way for you to contact this gym? Maybe someone there knows who he is. I'd love to see him against someone closer to this size and maybe a little more experience than the last guy

[@Happy2BHere]

The monk must have fight experience, plus I feel like he doesn’t train kung fu exclusively, definitely outclassed the less experienced fighter

[@flatfacepuggo1779]

A Chinese Odyssey, Pt 3 : Dojostorm

[@dogwink]

The distracting aspect of kungfu is an interesting point given that many traditional Chinese weapons have tassels on them where one of the many documented reasons is for distraction.

[@kimurasquirrel]

I don't think the kid has enough power to actually hurt the opponent even if the opponent simply just stood there and took hits.

[@brianwatson4119]

Also, the big flowery movements in the taolu are mostly placeholders for throws.

[@h4rdboiled695]

which one is the muay thai fighter

[@Skaxarrat]

I'm getting mad of the Kung Fu being successfully hitting the MT guy by doing the "Punching the air -> Jab" combo 4 or 5 times.

[@johnathanwilson5023]

So a few things about this. First, this may be a modified rule set spar as I'm not seeing any attempts at knees and elbows. Second, pure Muay Thai does not tend to have the best punchers because of the focus on kicking. I'm not saying it's not there, I'm saying it's not as developed as boxing. So the kung fu guy has correctly made the choice to draw him into a punch fight. Third, while hands being down can be a dangerous game, there are benefits in the position. First, is relaxation of the shoulder which enhances reaction time. Second is strikes coming from outside of the opponents field of vision. Third, potentially being(because I'm not sure if this registered for the more inexperienced Muay Thai fighter), easier set up for sweeps off kicks. Also, based on movement, the kung fu guy is not (totally) inexperienced in boxing/kickboxing sparring. He definitely needs to spend more time in that environment because you need to fully understand the modern context of fighting to be able to translate any traditional concepts to being useful. Traditional martial arts were developed as weapon arts, even the empty hand forms so they trained for that range of fighting. It's why they lost when Western boxers came in. Western Boxing, one has to remember, was born out of fencing yet successfully transitioned to the close combat range of punching. There are many important and crucial training tools for developing internal mechanics within kung fu arts, but the modern context has to be adopted if they have any hope of surviving. This got a bit too much rambling and stream of consciousness😂😂😂

[@Autonamatonamaton]

>sees two young men with a 3-4 inch height difference sparring >grown man fighting a kid!!!! Have none of you guys ever been part of a real sparring gym before? They don't match you up by age once you're no longer a child lmao, if you're over 18 you're fighting whoever you're up against

[@CarlosHenrique-mf3fc]

O menino do Muay Thai parece ser inexperiente, mas gostei muito de como o cara do Kung Fu fominou a luta 😂😂

[@cesarcrash]

No, any flourish in martial arts is just misinterpretation of something we don't know the purpose anymore. I'd like to see more footage of this guy, yes he's bigger and older, ut I don't care, I think the kid has enough skills to make it difficult to just play with him.

[@C_Him_That_Konger]

Kungfu guy minds work

[@immortalwarrior2406]

We shud call the kid Muay Thai master . 😂 That's how silly it is when they call these guys Kung Fu masters. 😂

Kung fu guy knows how to box

[@martialgeeks]

Oofff that's a massive missmatch, not sure what's the story behind it, but the kung fu guy knows his stuff, also flairing movements for sure can be very useful distractions, I flail my arms randomly to confuse the opponent then just stiff jab or stiff power hand straight 🤷‍♂️

[@GeneralTempest]

Kung Fu practitioner clearly was tryna preserve his opponent. In all seriousness it was a joke. They shouldn't have humbled that kid like that lol

[@themetal]

A lot of fighting is mind games and baiting your opponent is a strong one, be it feints or tomfoolery. That said, this guy wasn't even particularly good and they put him up against a rookie. At least it is clear the kung fu practitioner we watch has at least sparred before for a change. But imagine this but the guy is like 2 to 3 times quicker and it can still be effective against a proper challenge. The big issue is that all of that stuff requires a higher level of athleticism and comes at a cost in a fight. If you don't win fast and both fighters are of around equal athletic ability, a Muay Thai paractioner has a huge advantage in a long game. Muay Thai is efficient and straight forward. You have to dance around them, they don't have to dance around you. This guy's style is gonna burn at least twice as much steam as a Thai fighter.

[@pyramidal_ancestors]

That parry at 1:10 tells me the Muay Thai guy doesn't know how to fight.

[@kaspersmilez]

Man what is this commentary. "WHHOOAAA ITS WORKIING" Dude, it's a grown person vs a 60lb child. He has absolutely no reason to defend himself. He could push him over on a whim. This video shouldn't exist

[@The_true_Joe_mama]

the gym sent this kid to this fight

[@kaspersmilez]

@The_true_Joe_mama What does that have to do with the commentary

[@The_true_Joe_mama]

@@kaspersmilez We already had may fights of this gym at the channel. It's only fair we broadcast all of them.

[@kaspersmilez]

@The_true_Joe_mama The issue isn't making content off the gym. it's hyperbolizing the event for clicks. "Kung fu guy dojo storms" Acting like this guy punching a child in the face was groundbreaking for the world of kung fu. A real spectacle to behold. You'd be hard pressed to defend this video

[@The_true_Joe_mama]

@kaspersmilez I mean, this is the same gym that has been accepting any challenges. If they think that's fair, then that's on them. And about the title, the guy did dojostorm the place unharmed. What do you want me to say? It isn't like they put any other fighter to go at him later on. It's honest. But i wilk agree that it was a waste of potential, they should have put someone of the same size.

[@AcvaristulLenes]

They should do part 2 with a better trained boy.

[@vidakungfu-marcosbarrios]

Claro, porque el chico de mt no tenía pegada y le faltaba alcance.El otro se aprovechó de eso. Cuando los golpes duelen y son peligrosos se terminan las payasadas...

[@jeykritov5123]

i feel like the "kungfu guy" is parodying the fighting style of all the fake masters in round 1 n 2. then he's starting to fight properly in round 3,which also started making me feel bad for the smaller guy

[@tjsho417]

There seem to be a lot of MT fanboys who are salty in the comments section here.

[@WalterCena-rj2hm]

-What I see: 2 guys having a good time doing playful sparring. -What all the trigered commentators see: "My God, this is abuse, now bring him an experienced MT fighter and let him show us if he can do the same tric..." Jeez, when did the martial community become a bunch of humorless snowflakes? Remember friends: guns and multiple attackers are the norm on "Da Streez". Practice martial arts for fun, because you love it, that's the only thing that matters.

[@RedFoxGrappler]

Congrats to the Kung Fu guy, but I’m not sure what the Thai gym was doing there, like were they seriously cocky enough to believe that a literal child Thai Boxer could beat an adult Kung Fu guy or did they just straight up want their own fighter to lose? Gotta be trolling or bait because that’s delusional lmao

[@UltraMagnus3000]

What style of Kung fu was this?

[@MMAWARRIOR20]

“Kung fu practitioner” reminds me of feng Wei from tekken. That character also has a lot of moves when he puts one or both hands behind his back. Idk what discipline this dude is using tho

[@FightCommentary]

I will take a look. Thanks for the name.

[@creatureslim]

This guy actually has skills

[@Vic-loves-yeshua]

The kung fu guya did well. But why would the gym make a teenager fight him?

You get no bragging rights from surviving against a kid.

[@cherryb0ng]

I'm a bit disappointed in the performance of the Muay Thai kid. There was 0% of his brain being used.

Mung Fu works, it depends on the fighter ☝️ Just like any style

Did the older guy fight anyone else?

[@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique]

Weight class don’t matter. He’s just better 🤣

[@MrMeltdown]

It does show the problem with weight classes in terms of an ability to fight. If you get stream lined to much you think you might be able to beat anybody in a street fight. You have to be quite a bit better to beat someone bigger than you on equal terms.
