He forgot about the old chinese martial arts films. He was supposed to have a flashback of teachers training and win. Also seriously if he thinks this he should rematch
The downfall of Chinese TMA is saving face. I saw another interview where he denied of being hit and taken down. The wing Chun guy also said he used his chi to damaged the MMA guys internal organs too. As a Chinese it. Was sharmfull to to watch.
The wing Chun guy DID use his chi to damaged the MMA guys internal organs. Just wait and see. In about 40-50 years from now the damage will take effect. When MMA guy dies when he's in his 80s-90s, it will probably be from some type of internal organ failure. That = proof that Chi energy is REAL! 😁 BTW, I know how to perform the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique. In order for it to work, you have to smoke a 4-5 packs of cigarettes per day, do a lot of coke, eat a shitload of trans-fat & cholesterol, & not exercise at all. It takes my technique approximately 20-30 years to work, but eventually it will stop your heart.
@@HonkeyKong54 It's about upholding National pride, TCMA are seen as part of China's cultural heritage. Hence getting your a$$ handed to you by "foreign" styles is a matter of shame.
More Chinese people need to say how embarrassing these excuses are so it stops, but they are conman business too that needs a good image to keep operating
When you lose a fight,you don't make excuse,you learned from your mistake and train harder to improve yourself and be a better fighter,crying is for loser,this wing Chun guy will never be a good fighter,just a loser
Speculative dude reviews...aye forget what the "sifu" wudve told him to do behind closed doors hes lucky Xi didnt force him to take off his pants for some "bufu" in public....lol
Whatever... Either way, it's some stupid shit. If two martial artists agree to fight with an audience, they better bring their best, without contrivance or deception.
How true! This is a nice guy but with obviously no skill and experience in any real fighting. He's not a "Master" at all, but a little guy with some basic wingchun background. My wingchun trainer back then had a black belt in Karate and JiuJitsu and some experience in Kick-/Thaiboxing, so we understood the importance of sparring. Meeting an MMA athlet, who nowadays ist a Pro-Fighter (full-time), is quite hard for some part-time martial artist. It takes a lot of extra training and getting used to the full-contact reality. This enviroment is a surprise for guys like him, who only seem to train no- or semi-contact.
Just admitted it,mma is better, cause is a mixture of different arts,it has to be better than just one style,and they spar hard,is the closest thing to a real fight
He isnt a wing chun practitioner, he wishes he was Thats why 'Xu the coward' handpicked him Xu will never fight a strong wing chun guy or a "true" tai chi master his own body weight Theres a million kung fu practitioner's that are hopeless and only few strong ones that have learnt the secrets But i doubt Xu would seek them out as hes all talk bullying the weak
I agree with his point where he says "i was out classed" "mma fighters have better fitness and conditioning" most tma does not teach the fight, they usually only teach the movement and forms and almost never the real sparring and fighting
Yes, we see it all the time, mostly in chinese tma. It's like they just got lazy after communism got rid of the ban of the practice of combat kung fu. You'd think they'd step up their game after they lifted the ban, but they just got even lazier
@Kev's Channel i study ler xing kung fu, i love the philosophy and physical and mental health teaching. The one and only thing i hated while training, was if i wanted to learn how to fight using these moves, i had to do it on my own and take some of my buddies who only do boxing spar to with me. In the end, i only learned how to fight with my fists, because they didn't want me to elbow or kick them as boxers. I at least know how to kick, but i dont have enough training to utilise them. I really hope that future teachers of kung fu start teaching sparring and fighting more
You lost because your Kung Fu is weak. Start training, do some sparring. Go running. Get in fighting shape & stop making excuses for why you lost. You are embarrassing yourself.
It all depends on the fighter. The wing chun masters had clearly never taken a beating before and thats why they were so easy to break. I can assure you that if tma change their training methods to become more realistic, they would be way more viable in mma. P
@Coolostomy Yeah, I dont see a ufc champion winning with a wing chun stand. I just meant techniques in tma. Tony Ferguson, Anderson Silva and Jon Jones had successfully use wing chun techniques on the cage.
Eric Ford pls, go to the octagon with just boxing and see how they easily kick your ass. And just so you know, boxing and wrestling aint martial arts. They are combat sports 🤦♂️
I don't think that beeing out weight by an opponent should be an excuse for an wing chun guy. When was learning wing chun, I was told that you can take on any opponent regardless their statue and mass... poor little me XD. Wing chun people are always proud of the heritage. A small woman developed a way of fighting bigger opponents to defend herself. Now i learned my lesson. From nothing will come nothing. To be efficent, body and technique must be developed simultaneously. Good physic, propoer techniques and the whole thing gers better. And you should learn the real deal. In that case, simple is better. Learn how to hit someone the right way, propoer boxing and a good foundation of wrestling. Then, if you like you can take some parts of traditional stuff in addition. Depending what you want to do with that of course
This is why Bruce Lee did not study wing Chun only. He studied many other forms of martial arts and developed his own style taking the best qualities from all of them .
Its funny cause back in the late 90s there was a wing chun master in NYC who was on the news a few times doing demonstrations of him fending off 4 attackers and I had a feeling it was bullshit.
@@FightCommentary Okay so I had to do some digging but I think I found him :) ruclips.net/video/8et-Z-rrkyI/видео.html. Looks like he didnt post anything from his FOX 5 news demos but hes been in the game for a minute lol,ill give him respect for that but hes not gonna do well with any low to mid level MMA fighter or mugger with a knife.
Tma does not teach that it is all about attitude... I was taught in tma,(Kyokushin and judo mainly), that an attitude of humble learning is the only acceptable attitude. This guy is sounding very much like a petulant child.
Body size should not have been a disadvantage to wing chun guy, because XX is overweight and not especially athletic. Wing Chun guy has a more optimal bodytype for a striking dominant fighting style. Plus the whole point of wing chun was that it was invented by a petite chinese woman, so its for a smaller person to be able to fight a larger person in a very efficient way, with small movements and no athletically challenging positions. So this was the perfect way to demonstrate it. Wing Chun guy didnt have to win, just look like he could defend himself. And impose some effect with those chain punches and hand trapping. I dont think the concepts in wing chun are useless, but the people who train it seem to be. The techniques could be extremely effective whenever an opponent attempts to tie up/clinch in MMA. It would not work with boxing gloves but it should work with barehands or mma gloves. If it doesn't work from any wing chun practitioner, it means the techniques need to be improved. But the concept is pretty sound.
Have to disagree with you there. The center line is a concept in many martial arts. Wing Chun's stance is unnatural and weak. The striking technique is incapable of generating enough power. It's an all-around flawed system and should be dropped.
How about that wing chun guy should invite Xu Xiaodong to his wing-chun dojo and have the match there. Just keep wing chun to the exercise gymn for the wing chun practictioner's safety.
Why would he make a lot of excuses if he thinks that his skill are far more superior than the MMA guy.. he can just simply declare a rematch in a place where he can feel safe so he can fight at his best...
Yes, the match was rigged. They decided it was a tie instead of a win for Xu Xiao Dong. No right to come out with that excuse. Also take into account that Xu is not by a long shot the best MMA fighter.
I think is that we’re both the same size and the Wing Chun had some Heavy sparring experience he would have lasted longer due to him being used to using WC while having an adrenaline rush. Also the WC guy wants to do some conditioning on his hands so his punches do higher damage like punch a tree with medium power about twice a week for 10 minutes, will surely help him.
10 years from now there will be a movie about this guy and the sad time he was intimidated into losing a fight against the big bully Xu Xiaodong. There will probably be a second fight later where he easily dominates.
Excuses, excuses! You may have been scared or nervous etc. We're not there to see what he meant, it might have been environmentally ridged. But regardless, you ain't have a sec to THINK of your move or hear your coach (which was demolished by the one-armed boxer) cause oppps "down you go". So continue your excuses. Im glad I wasn't the reporter, couldn't keep a straight face.
This guy could possibly have a point. I don't know if the Feng Shui was rigged to help Xu, but if it was, then he could have a point. One way to find out. Have a rematch and let him decide when the Feng Shui is correct. Let have his coach as well.
He lost because he lost.. I WILL SAY though, if the coach is good, sideline coaching is a big advantage. The information gained from outside looking in is monumental.
It's not about same size but it's about training. The wingchun guy practice wingchun technique but did not get prepared for a real fight. You still have to work out your speed, strength and endurance
We to acknowledge that it was a huge weight class discrepancy. Its hard to evaluate a martial art when the size difference is so large. He got beat by his big brother.
For those who have lived in China for a while, you know perfectly well it's all about saving face and keeping the harmony which is pretty pathetic if you ask me.
even having the same body mass wont really amount to anything , coz I've seen smaller guys beating bigger guys. So the reason for his lost was: 1) lack of power, 2) no balance of weight, 3) lack of practice or spar, 4) dont know how to block = his technique SUCK !!!
He was outclassed and out skilled. The punches he threw don’t look like they are maximizing any leverage or power, they just look like extensions of the triceps muscles, which are very light weight, and at worst all they could do is maybe sting a little, but any trained fighter wouldn’t even flinch from some of those punches…
Traditional martial art is about self-confidence and self-control, its the ability to stay calm in most situations . This guy's ego certainly knows no bounds, humility doesn't seem to be in his vocabulary. Wing-Chun was never really intended as a sport, at the end of the day its the person that matters not really the style or school they come from. If anything this guy should learn from his mistakes if he wants to get better.
I do agree that weight class is huge. MMA has weight class for a clear reason. if a higher weight class came down to beat a lower weight champion that doesn’t disqualify the champion. Still, had he known this he’d never agree to such a match. It shows ignorance or hubris.
THis man's excuse reminds me of when Emin Boztepe fought William Cheung years ago. William Cheung was a self-titled Grandmaster in Wing Chun and Emin was a student instructor from a rival Wing Chun school whom WIlliam used to belong to. There was some sort of spat between Will and the other school, so one day Emin was sent to challenge Will at a seminar he was running. Only a brief few seconds of the fight was filmed. Now Emin was a young man who besides his Wing Chun training, had done some wrestling in school. William was 46 years old and Emin ragdolled him on the ground and basically man handled him like a child. To anyone who has seen the footage, it's clear as day that William was absolutely dominated by Emin with about as much Wing Chun being shown as there is water in whole Sahara. William later went on to claim in an interview with some Kung fu magazine that he was winning the fight in the standup but because he was wearing kung fu shoes with no grip, he slipped and fell but claimed he survived Emin's onslaught on the ground and footage that was leaked doesn't show the full fight and that really, he was winning the whole time till he slipped.
Lol o lol enjoying so much your sense of humour! Wing chun guy so Bambi- precious :) Only one thing is true though: his body weight category is far from the Xiu guy’s.
I can see how the wing chun guys strike don't have any substance. He's just punching through his shoulder. I'm not a martial artist but I think a mere average Joe street fighter would beat him easily.
If you like my translations and want to learn Chinese, please go to my learn Chinese channel: ruclips.net/channel/UC_E_R34VQo47FfnwF3ABlDQ

Traditional martial art is about self-confidence and self-control, its the ability to stay calm in most situations . This guy's ego certainly knows no bounds, humility doesn't seem to be in his vocabulary.
Wing-Chun was never really intended as a sport, at the end of the day its the person that matters not really the style or school they come from. If anything this guy should learn from his mistakes if he wants to get better.
He was right, it was rigged. The ref stepped in and stopped it before he could REALLY get his ass kicked.
I didn't see Xu's coach telling him what to do
Xu's fist was moving at least 60 mph on that knockdown punch.. even in slow motion you could barely see his fist moving
Yeah it was rigged. By his shifu by teaching him a shitty martial art.
I do agree that weight class is huge. MMA has weight class for a clear reason. if a higher weight class came down to beat a lower weight champion that doesn’t disqualify the champion. Still, had he known this he’d never agree to such a match. It shows ignorance or hubris.
I mean he's right it was rigged, but in his favor. They called it a draw....
Martial artists are not necessarily fighters , and some Martial artists themselves don't know the difference.
THis man's excuse reminds me of when Emin Boztepe fought William Cheung years ago. William Cheung was a self-titled Grandmaster in Wing Chun and Emin was a student instructor from a rival Wing Chun school whom WIlliam used to belong to. There was some sort of spat between Will and the other school, so one day Emin was sent to challenge Will at a seminar he was running. Only a brief few seconds of the fight was filmed. Now Emin was a young man who besides his Wing Chun training, had done some wrestling in school. William was 46 years old and Emin ragdolled him on the ground and basically man handled him like a child. To anyone who has seen the footage, it's clear as day that William was absolutely dominated by Emin with about as much Wing Chun being shown as there is water in whole Sahara. William later went on to claim in an interview with some Kung fu magazine that he was winning the fight in the standup but because he was wearing kung fu shoes with no grip, he slipped and fell but claimed he survived Emin's onslaught on the ground and footage that was leaked doesn't show the full fight and that really, he was winning the whole time till he slipped.
Lol o lol enjoying so much your sense of humour! Wing chun guy so Bambi- precious :) Only one thing is true though: his body weight category is far from the Xiu guy’s.
I can see how the wing chun guys strike don't have any substance. He's just punching through his shoulder. I'm not a martial artist but I think a mere average Joe street fighter would beat him easily.
This is the result of removing the value of sparring in traditional martial arts... most schools teach martial arts with a glamourising mindset...
sounds like a rematch is in order
