"The exercising of weapons putteth away aches, griefs, and diseases, it increaseth strength and sharpeneth the wits, it giveth a perfect judgment, it expelleth melancholy, choleric, and evil conceits, it keepeth a man in breath, in perfect healthe, and long life." – George Silver (1599)

What is this? Supposedly “A Real Chinese Kung Fu Master Fight in 1953″

My fav youtube comment – “hdizzal3-this? look like 2 chinese men bitch slapping each other”

Ha! Mockery!

This is good though. Lesson – Jump kicks are passe.

I think the problem here is that the guys in video #1 didn’t have any sparring in their training regimes. They don’t seem weak, just unprepared for this kind of fight.

Pretty interesting article on how the Yang family traditionally trained to use Tai Chi as a martial art — http://neigong.net/2008/10/29/an-interview-with-yang-fukui/ — the upshot is that they didn’t practice the form, just individual movements and short combos, two-man drills with hard contact, and specialized weight training.
