My dude tells me its mainly a defensive art so you have to couple it with some kind of offense, for most people boxing

Then came the biggest revelation. The style had contributed to one of my most beloved movie fight scenes: the scrap between Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Mr. Joshua (Gary Busey) at the end of Lethal Weapon. That scene has long been held up as an early example of mixed martial arts as well as grittier alternative to more conventional martial arts choreography. Mel Gibson had reportedly trained under a jailhouse rock expert named Dennis Newsome prior to filming the scene. The common ground between martial arts/action cinema and so-called "urban" culture were blurrier than I had ever dreamed. That a Black Man had contributed to one of the greatest fight scenes in modern film had filled me with pride



.:ohhh: I need to re-watch that fight scene.

the shyt is like a weird mixture of baguazhang/wing chun trapping hands, boxing, and hood mentality... i remember when the one video was up where dude was shadow boxing, spit out a razor, caught the damn razor, continued shadowboxing, then hid the blade back under his tongue all in one motion :wow:

and if you watch the footwork, it looks like bboying.

yep...pure boxing just doesn't work in a real fight, just like pure jujitsu doesn't work alone.

the mix of the arts is what makes "MMA" dangerous
Depends on a lot of circumstances. Generally if you throwing hands with someone who don't know how to fight, they just gon swing as many times as they can. If you know how to fight and can counter them, they'll prolly just try to wrestle, which they can't do either (unless they got weight on you). It's pretty uncommon to fight someone with solid hands and ground game

Amateur to pro boxers would make light work of these guys due to advanced footwork and conditioning. Great for taking on non-trained folks, but looks very Wing Chun-oriented...
