HAHhaa, what a bunch of fluff and ZERO contact.

These guys didn't do fucking SHIT and no contact.

Sure don't see these goons in ANY UFC fights because this style is history, worthless in the real world of fighting.

"Give me Jet-Li's fake ass stunts please! I do not have time to appreciate real talent and skill!"

Fake? Jet Li would kick your ass in his sleep

Astronomic_chaos: I would contend that it isn't his anticipation so much as the monks ability to respond to anything that comes at him. His attacks are him showing the other fighter how badly he could hurt him. That's why he didn't constantly attack, had he - there'd be no fight.

To me, the monk's attacks were in an animalistic sense - the dominant animal humping the the other's face into submission. You see rabbits and other animals do it, even the ladies will do it.

The most amazing thing is the monk's calm and presents he has. He seems to be fearless.

crappyrice - you've made some good points, but how do you know the monk would defend a muay thai kick the same way as in this video? Its kinda dumb to assume that someone would react the same way in all circumstances.

Also keep in mind that muay thai, MMA, Judo, Jiujitsu are sports. They are designed for non lethal competition. How many muay thai practitioners train to defend their groin? How many BJJ/judokas incorporate eye gouges, biting, etc, in their ground game?

Don't be arrogant and assume that the new styles are the best. Look what arrogance brought the Gracies. Their continual belief that BJJ is the best martial arts system in the world got them ass raped by sakuraba and matt huges.

Repost.
Saw it on here for the first time. Notice how the shaolin monk. (who are credited for pretty much creating martial arts as we know it) Has more impressive kicks then the Tae kwon doe artist, Which Teaches pretty much Only kicks. Go figure.

AND this is Highly against the religion of the shaolin monks, its a law that they only use their skills if their life is threatened, never for competition or show. He would have been kicked out of the monestary if his superiors saw this.

O and venomhead, Your a dumbass.

Skill isnt measured on how many times you can get hit in the head, its measured on how little times your hit. And how little times you ahve to hit the oher guy to win.
A great fighter throws one blow. Walks away.
The perfect fighter throws no blows and walks away.

im am Indian meaning i was born and raised in INDIA. incase u didnt know ur history Buddhism started in India, so did yoga and meditation, so dun go around thinking i dont know what the human body is capable of. considering that the chinese arent even close to the level that the yogies in India are. its not a compitition, but being hit repeateditly isnt that big a deal, try to stay underwater with one breath of air for 24 hours.now thats true control oh the human body since they aren’t only shutting down pain nerves, but shutting their whole body down, down to a molecular level where they are able to slow the process to take only molecules of air per minute. stupid comment on ur behalf on me trying to break the guys bones, once again a person dont know what hes talking about, i know he can block pain(not that hard, adrenaline same thing), but bones u cant control no matter how strong u are, u can train them, (bone hardening) means repeaditly hitting them, but considering the size of the monk, he could never train his to take more than say 2000lb of force per inch MAX, remember a human skull requires about 1400 lb per square inchto crack. Ribs are usually easiest to break, especially around sternum where they are flexible. a pro Maui thai knee can deliver 2000 lb of force to the sternum, thus prolly causing a broken bone, along with cardiac arrest.

now its ur turn, thanks for the rep, but i didnt say that he would react that way in all circumstances, i said in the vid he did that stupid thing, and a real kick would break his arms. also ur idea that muay thai is a sport is wrong. although it is now worldwide, when started it was actually used as life or death situation. thats y its called the art of 8 limbs or the DEADLY art. people actually died from it, the muay thai that is used worldwide is a toned down version, the full muay thai isn’t only striking but also work with weapons, and has another name. muay thai is only one part of it. real muay that has blows such as a elbow straight down to the head, which are meant to stop a opponent, by knockout, or death. the same story lies behind almost all martial arts, jujitsu was also created so a smaller man could defend himself from a larger attacker. and ppl DID die from it, in sports u have the luxury to tap out, back in the day in real life, u didn’t.

also someone commented that a muay thai fighter stands no chance against a monk, ok i agree a monk can stand pain, but u might not know this but there is absolutely NO WAY AT ALL to train the chin, that is well known in fighting. getting hit there means ur brain basically momentarily disconnects from the spine (something like that), leaving ur body completely out of ur control, ur body falls limp to the ground, ur brain has just shut ur body off. hence a knock out. all any fighter has to do is hit the monk on the chin, considering the monk here and his defense skills, i doubt that would be very hard to do.

It has been getting annoying seeing all these people discriminating TaeKwon Do. I don't think anyone has seen TKD like I have. People keep saying how the monk is calm and everything... For one, I wouldn't really call them real monks, because what they study is Wushu. For those of you that do not know what Wushu is, its a type of gongfu that is basicly for show and wouldn't help in a real fight. Anyhow, the TKD guy is also calm. For those of you that don't know, hopping around is their normal stance. Those continuous easily blocked kicks are ment for hurting their opponent but to look for an oppening as the monk does. There are two different types of TKD. One being WTF(World TKD Federation) being more of the olympic type point sparring TKD. And the other being ITF(International TKD Federation) being sort of the opposite being more affective and dangerous.
ITF accually use punches...

im sorry bro but ur wrong. i watched both those vids, and i cant believe the amount of opeanings left in each of the fighters. in the itf vid, first match, the guy has his hands down most of thematch, and im suprised he got a ko from that flying kick, his opponent looked really old, an weeak, if he cant take a hit like that. also 2nd vid was just funny i dun know what u guys call it but that kick they wewere doin to the stomack,side kick kinnda, but if u look at the ground foot it hops towards the opponent inorder to get closter to contact, im sort but its simple physics, and my point is proved in the vid, allthe opponent has to do is stand there, and push back at the momnet of contack, the guy kicking will loose balance and fall back. tkd is a great exercise martial art, but dont say that it has hurting power, and it is not dangerous, its not at all.it is probably the most incomplete striking martial art in the world.
