I am proud of Xu Xiaodong. Becuase he exposed these fake masters, he, his family and his parents are constantly harassed by authorities. His all social media accounts have been shut down. He continues to fight alone, but many people from all over the world admire his strength and support him.
@Jezthedead actually, is there any other way to prove his points other than fighting? both sides are fighting-oriented. and if you only speak out your opinion, your social score will get reduced and/or you'll get ignored. in my eyes, he's doing the absolute best he can exposing frauds and scams.
@@reihanboo I mean he is right in exposing these fake master and out there, there are definitely real chinese martial arts masters in their own right. And I will admit, some chinese martial arts are definitely just for show, like wushu taolu, which simply are pre-choreographed forms on a carpet. However, some others like wushu sanda really is actual chinese boxing.
this man is already respected. just mostly not in China. He has a lot of courage for speaking and proving the controversial truth in a country like China. Hats off to Xu Xiadong.

Exactly. He didn't really like calling anything a "style". He wanted to do away with that term. Not to say that there shouldn't be a distinction between Karate and Taekwondo for example. But he was tired of the style vs style viewpoint. I think his quote on being water says it all.
@@ZaiinSan that makes better sense. it's a lot easier to 'win' against someone compliant to your moves and in the same style, eh? lol. put them in an MMA ring and all that fanciness goes out the window when your opponent doesn't throw a half-speed punch exactly where you want.
Well it’s not better in the west. The insane russian collusion propaganda was in the media 24/7 and to this das countless people believe it. That’s how propaganda works.
@Me Myself Sure, and that's not something he would argue as well, I think. What is certain is that he sparred full pads and contact CONSTANTLY. So much so that he was able to test out and fine tune his concepts. His concepts were sought out by fighters who did fight professionally and went on to either be champions OR were already champions who added his concepts to their arsenal. There is a great video on RUclips on Mr. Lee's demonstration sparring. You may have seen it, but if you haven't, it is pretty CLEAR by his footwork, timing, angles of attack, tactics, etc, that this guy was NOT the average 'master' who never fought professionally.

Kinda surprised that the Wing Chun guy actually threw some pretty decent strikes. Only issue was that he was clearly untested in actual combat and didn't know how to break a boxing style defense. Traditional martial artists should be praising this MMA guy for strengthening their art by putting it to the test, not vilifying him for exposing their weakness. Really shows who is actually a martial artist and who is delusional/ a con artist.
Well said. Most traditional martial artists I know who are practical and focused on functionality DO respect this guy. Myself more so after watching this. I had not heard is point of view of things before watching this video. Having listened to someone trash my art and call it garbage like Mr. Tai Chi did, i probably would've done the same in his position.
@@niagara7star Honestly people like this guy give me hope for the future of traditional martial arts. Rather than see these arts disappear, I want to see them evolve and become viable once more. This is a step in the right direction, even if it is painful to some.
Very few martial arts are practical in real world scenarios. I've studied Ninjutsu for fifteen years, and most of the techniques are impractical or rely upon trickery/deception. My brother holds several black belts, Wing Chung is one of them. Totally useless in a real world scenario, but quite 'practical' in the Dojo where the students respect their teacher and wouldn't think of knocking him to the ground.' Bruce Lee is on the greatest examples of overrated in the history of martial arts, not to mention a bad actor.
@@invisiblesouldier6166 Last time I checked, Ninjutsu was not a martial art, or even a fighting style. It is a system of guerrilla tactics used for sabotage and espionage. Shinobi rarely ever fought and were chiefly used as saboteurs or spies. Assassinations by shinobi were also few and far between. Schools taught today (if my knowledge serves me right) don't actually practice these tactics (don't have a direct lineage to it) but practice an immitation of it that has been expanded upon. I wouldn't compare an ancient war fighting system to martial arts, apples to oranges and all.
@@Skylander404 You should check out Zabit and the school of that UFC fighter and that gives hopes that there is a way for Chinese Martial arts to be incorporated. But it's always a problem since superficiality of Kung fu movies triumps the sad reality of an actual fight.

Especially in US, try to say you dont believe in LGBT, wait what you will get. You can loss your entire career just because of that. You dont even need to move your hand
this is what happens when the mantra "the technique is the most important thing" becomes reality and because of that raw physical strength, stamina and conditioning are ignored completely for the sake of tradition. Maybe there are some super-duper kung-fu masters (say 1 of 1000) who can beat a guy who's bigger and has a background of some fighting style. But we see what's happening in reality.

There are 2 styles of Tai Chi. One actually is very hand hand combat focused, the other is the balance, flow, chi focused style. Most are unaware of the fighting style of tai chi but it is real and it is effective.

@yellowleaf Thus the reason why many Chinese "master" FAKE their ability to focus and use Chi. Thus this all Fake Kungfu from Wushu Association because it makes lots of money. How many people can use Chi in China? I can tell you not all the "Famous" Kung fu masters from the look at of it. I suggest you look at video of all the "masters" this guy fought with, some of them are pretty famous with their "Chi" mastery trick.

@Hermanto Sagitarius well actually pulling out a gun can be used for self defence, rather than using your frail old man bones to punch a meat mountain of a man
@Hermanto Sagitarius tai chi only works in set of moves, most practitioners really don't have any experience in fighting other than sparring, ever heard of a streetfight where someone used taichi? no because most people would either run away or take out a weapon
@Hermanto Sagitarius true. But situation needs to assessed before using martial arts as self defence. Most countries do not forbid using pocket knives or pepper spray as self defence though.
Real-time translation on a podcast is certainly not impossible, but it would be a really short Rogan podcast. 2-3 hours of translated questions and translated answers would get pretty tedious.
This man is a patriot. He represents China with honor, and wants the Chinese to have the best fighters on earth. If they don’t start training like the rest of the world, that won’t ever happen. I hope he will go down in history as a true patriot for his country. Weili is an amazing athlete. She has COUNTLESS fans in the west for her amazing technique and warrior spirit. She kickboxes and uses BJJ and wrestling. This is so sad and confusing.
Agree. Even Bruce Lee created his own fighting style, and he was all about adapting. He even street fought between movie takes. Kung Fu is great but to think that a kung fu master will win, they must be getting themselves. "Be like water my friend" -- adapt, B Lee.
Man he got famous asf. this is a wake up call for traditionalist to train their students more realistic combat applications of their arts. And nothing hidden for internal students only
Nothing wrong with training in the traditional arts as long as they go into it knowing what they are getting into and its limitations. Specifically, its limitations in practical fighting.
It's a mark of refined civilization when martial arts turn into complete theory and magical nonsense. China has had the chance to develop fighting styles then let them decline into nonsense many times. Because the remaining nonsense props up racist, nationalist ideas based on nothing else, it will be defended by all means. China would rather have everyone obediently thinking the same thing even if it's wrong, especially about something as obsolete and anti-social as hand-to-hand fighting.
The real marcial arts are reborn when the war or something bad is coming. Like the real capoeira style which is letal but since there's no war they train in a exercise way or dancing-culture way.
@Derron James Jabutay I've watched Shaolin monks doing some totally bogus party-trick stunts as demonstrations. Sure they're very athletic, but so what?

Andrew Ortiz any of it can “work” it’s honestly a matter of setting. Wing chin STRICTLY in MMA wont do great. WC on the streets against an aggressor does wonders
I'm an ethnic Chinese and I fully support this guy. Most traditional martial arts in China are long removed from actual combat and what's left have been modified to be performance arts (basically dance moves) or used as exercise (the current state of Tai Chi, which originated as a defensive stance specializing in the use of the opponent's momentum against him) The existence of these "show" forms is fine as long as it's not advertised as practical combat forms, but if you want to advertise them as combat forms, you actually have to teach the combative parts of the forms and let them evolve as a whole. These older Chinese "masters" are refusing to do that
@@yup2570 It was a muay thai guy that smashed him. Xu is also passed his prime as well being over 40 while that thai boxer was much younger and had professional fights under his belt. At least that shows that Xu isnt afraid to fight those who are younger and more skilled than he is.
Nobody will say Kung fu or any other martial art is weak. As already said, most of these peole are fake .. The real ones practice for decades to make them physically and mentally strong.
They were effective at some point in time eg-wing Chun was invented 400 years ago someone at the time probably thought of what others around them weren't doing Fast forward to 1990s Garcie beat people only using bjj, because the rules allowed to continue the fight on the ground and others didn't train for it Present day You can't just do that you also need striking abilities When you can't copy and use stuff from 90s it's self explanatory that except for few principles and techniques we won't be able to use a 400 year old art in exact form.

Historically, Ming Dynasty great general Qi Jiguang actually had same opinion about those fake martial artists 😊 "To be pretty isn't practical, to be practical isn't pretty" - Qi Jiguang Edit: I just realized after watched video for second time that the way Xu Xiadong treated has similarity to how Ming court treated General Qi Jiguang during his late life. For being vocal and non sense approach about corruption and general weakness of Ming military during his tenure, General Qi died in semi exile and poverty.
That's because, as a soldier, he practiced actual martial arts, which no longer exist today; almost all "Kung Fu" schools are peasant village boxing styles.
They are a bunch of hypocrates to be honest. I'm pretty sure China Military dont use these "traditional" martial arts for their soldier. It must be some kind of mixed style. Even in my country Indonesia, the home country of martial arts called Silat, the military doesnt use it. They instead use some kind of style of mixing Taekwondo with other style.
Well, look what happened to Ming dynasty, a century of humiliation by western powers. Even Mao's China survived because US invasions severely weakened Japan, and they couldn't hold onto their occupation in China any longer. Also Mao had Soviet backing. Being delusional and arrogant serves no purpose, it only brings danger and defeat to your nation. Modern China and India should also learn from that.
I believed that kung Fu is real, however as society progresses, people are less exposed to dangerous situations like wars. I thing that it caused kung Fu to detoriate and lose it's fighting or killing prowess. Now it focuses more on forms, appearances and are mostly used for keeping a healthy body and mind.
@@americanmade6480 when did I get ahead of my self. I'm just voicing my opinion. I also didn't state that kung Fu is useless. If it is really useless no one would have continued practicing it. What I mean on my previous comment is that those fake masters are getting popular, that common people believe that what they are doing are real kung Fu. Because of it those people who doesn't know the truth will try to learn from those fake masters, then the cycle goes on. Fake kung Fu will spread.
The ancient kung fu was powerful and invented by Indian saint bodhidharman. But now China creates totally fake kung fu and illustrates that they have best fighting technique. Chinese kung fu is just attractive action.Nothing more. It is weak fighting method in real fight.
Exactly. Martial arts in the past was continuously fine tuned due to constant battles. If an enemy beats you, you don't complain that he's using foreign forces, you figure out how to improve your art so it becomes strong enough to beat those foreign forces.
China is too worried about politics for everything. East vs West etc. Look at Russia, you have amazing MMA fighters come out of there like Khabib. China is missing out of unleashing its potential on the world stage, it has almost 20% of the world's pop, there has to be some awesome athletes there if they would just sponsor them. Props to this dude for exposing fake martial artists.
True ... Jet li fell out With those in charge Of modern wushu in china Bcause they waterd it all down Took out the martial training.. Made it into Gymnastics By adding Acrobatics Instead of Combat related moves Or anything Similer to Combat
China’s been dominated by flashy martial arts with moves that wastes more energy for presentation of the camera. He’s just trying to introduce MMA to China.
That's not entirely true. Kung fu movies, are the same kind of movies as Rambo, you're not supposed to believe that they are realistic. Grab any stunt man on a martial art movie set, or even martial art movie stars like Jackie Chan, they'll absolutely agree that they are not fighters, their acrobatic skills are for stage performing only. It's those self-claimed masters that deceived people into believing they can become the hero in those movies, to make profit from it.
A bunch of misconception. Martial arts seen in Chinese and Hong Kong movies are for the badassery, cinematic and theatrical purposes. They are mainly for showing off, not absolutely practical for fighting though they could be used for self-defense. However, like many other real martial arts, they are for the strength, the health, the discipline, and the morals.
LOL :D I think Tai Chi is great for relaxation, kinda like yoga, but not for self-defense. In a street fight an amateur MMA practitioner, a Tai Chi practitioner will get knocked out b4 he even raises his/her hands!
Tai chi is a joke. The best kongfu is from shaolin temple, it’s been this way for over 1000 years, some fellow Chinese won’t accept this because they are not pro buddhism like our ancestors. How sad.

i think the pidgeon technique is to work on reflexes. when the pidgeon tries to fly away and you move your arm down, the pidgeon wont get the momentum it needs to fly off the arm. i think it is a hard technique to do and practice in martial arts
actually the "pigeon method" works like this: when pigeon about to fly away, their claws or talon or whatever feet toe part clench naturally, so if you push your finger into their claws, they'll hold onto your finger, making it unable to fly so the concept is that taichi is about going with the opponent's flow and counter or redirect their blows to somewhere else, and if you can match/sense pigeon's movement, it shows your ability on taichi to a certain extent although I know how it works but I am still supporting this dude's work on exposing fake martial artists
There is a BIG reason, All ARMY in the world use Karate and MMA style as the training. Simple, fast, and very effective to disable and take down anyone.

I lived in China for many years and I will tell you this: This video encapsulates the Chinese Collectively and Chinese Culture/Cultural Pride in a nutshell. Xu Xiaodong must be given all credit for his genuineness and fearlessness. He is one of those many rough diamonds among the Chinese masses. When it comes to themselves, the vast majority of Chinese are vain, boastful and prideful. Even though everyone else knows their claims to be either fake, over boastful or just plain, deceitful, hot air, they won't pull them up about it because of "face". When reality shows them to be wrong they won't accept things as they are. They are not humble or truth-seeking, but double down on the falsity and then promote censorship and a false narrative to try to confuse the issue. Of course the Government-controlled media made a meal of Xu - he is the very thing they hate: an individual with guts and who not only sees when the Emperor has no clothes, but is not afraid to say so. He is a threat. Alas, speaking truth to power in China will always have the same effect - the destruction of that Individual by Chinese Society.
taojas, exactly!! they criticized Bruce Lee for the same reason, do not want to lose their undeserved prestige, created with suggestive demonstrations, their scams
"Nobody knew about MMA In china but me" - Bruce Lee was the original MMArtist, and brought many forms of martial art along with popularity to the USA, indirectly becoming the father of American MMA. Part of his whole story was about his chinese community being against for not only mixing arts to create a new one, but for teaching it to americans as well.
@Karl S I was comparing him to the MMA guy that said he was the only person in china to know MMA. He wasn't by far, Bruce Lee was, and was ostrisized for it by these same "fake masters"
@@NinjaTheEvan it is possible that it was merely hyperbole, used because he knew no one there who knew of it. He can’t be expected to know what a billion other humans know anyways, and it is certainly true that China would wish to have as little overt western influence in their culture right now as possible. For that to be limited in the public domain is expected under their current regime, and the demonizing of MMA as foreign influence does sound about part for the course. Why would such a narrative permit its subject to become widely familiar to its people?
Xu Xiaodong seems like a nice guy and an honest man. He already has my respect, and I hope he succeeds in gaining the respect he deserves from everyone.
Do these people not understand that MMA isn't a slander on traditional martial arts , it's the strongest fighting style becouse all it is, is a combination of the most effective techniques from all other martial arts so some mma fighters may use a struck from tai chi. There only a few styles that can be used in their purest form to beat an mma fighter and thats karate, muy tai, jujitsu and wrestling, and even then most mma fighters practice these martial arts the most. All I'm saying is traditional martial arts isn't bad but it's never gonna be better than mma.
Curt Christensen I think a lot of martial artists disagreed with it because it became a weakness to them. Some of the best fighters I know delve into different arts to complete their training. All martial arts have limitations and the MMA guys who have a strong base and pick up other styles shine the best. We can’t assume because someone does MMA they cannot fully know a specific art.
I am not in MMA (and I will not, I stay in Judo), nevertheless the better fighter has to win and not any regime. As already stated, there should be no east, west or whatever.
That’s the most accurate description of Xu Xiaodong “MMA Activist”. He would benefit from adopting this term more than making fake claims about his role in “China’s first MMA” match. He was on the wrong ideological side.. he probably expected to win against Andy Pi and that would indicate that he was poorly briefed about MMA or just brash. Looking back, Andy Pi was probably told that Xu Xiaodong was absolutely no threat. His students at the time were much better Sanda fighters and would’ve had enough BJJ skills to take an easy win against Xu. I guess Andy wanted that low hanging fruit...
@@antdx316 u should also remember that getting trained in mma won't save you when someone who is armed with weapons/guns or is trying to rob you in a group...
I respect you, many of us here in the west always wondered if that style could hold up against any form of combat. You did right by challenging the status quo, your country disowning you simply shows their ignorance and disrespect of defeat.
These dudes are not in his weight class lol. These "masters" need to pack on some pounds if they seriously plan to win fights against other martial arts.
I might be mistaken, but the entire point of a lot of these “martial arts” is that you can take down someone bigger and stronger than you, so they’d kinda be probating their own martial arts wrong by doing that.
If only people would make content like this about fake dog trainers, too bad the only videos interesting enough to pull enough clicks are ones in poor practice.

@Me Myself Sure, and that's not something he would argue as well, I think. What is certain is that he sparred full pads and contact CONSTANTLY.

You may have seen it, but if you haven't, it is pretty CLEAR by his footwork, timing, angles of attack, tactics, etc, that this guy was NOT the average 'master' who never fought professionally.

Very few martial arts are practical in real world scenarios. I've studied Ninjutsu for fifteen years, and most of the techniques are impractical or rely upon trickery/deception. My brother holds several black belts, Wing Chung is one of them. Totally useless in a real world scenario, but quite 'practical' in the Dojo where the students respect their teacher and wouldn't think of knocking him to the ground.' Bruce Lee is on the greatest examples of overrated in the history of martial arts, not to mention a bad actor.
@@invisiblesouldier6166 Last time I checked, Ninjutsu was not a martial art, or even a fighting style. It is a system of guerrilla tactics used for sabotage and espionage. Shinobi rarely ever fought and were chiefly used as saboteurs or spies. Assassinations by shinobi were also few and far between. Schools taught today (if my knowledge serves me right) don't actually practice these tactics (don't have a direct lineage to it) but practice an immitation of it that has been expanded upon. I wouldn't compare an ancient war fighting system to martial arts, apples to oranges and all.
@@Skylander404 You should check out Zabit and the school of that UFC fighter and that gives hopes that there is a way for Chinese Martial arts to be incorporated.

Nothing wrong with training in the traditional arts as long as they go into it knowing what they are getting into and its limitations. Specifically, its limitations in practical fighting.
It's a mark of refined civilization when martial arts turn into complete theory and magical nonsense.

The existence of these "show" forms is fine as long as it's not advertised as practical combat forms, but if you want to advertise them as combat forms, you actually have to teach the combative parts of the forms and let them evolve as a whole. These older Chinese "masters" are refusing to do that

kung fu is definitely exaggerated and doesn't help in the real world. This has been proven time and time again.
@@strider5119 only the fake ones. i once saw a master burst his opponents liver with a well placed poke. kung fu nowadays is a joke.
Exactly. Martial arts in the past was continuously fine tuned due to constant battles. If an enemy beats you, you don't complain that he's using foreign forces, you figure out how to improve your art so it becomes strong enough to beat those foreign forces.

China’s been dominated by flashy martial arts with moves that wastes more energy for presentation of the camera. He’s just trying to introduce MMA to China.
That's not entirely true. Kung fu movies, are the same kind of movies as Rambo, you're not supposed to believe that they are realistic. Grab any stunt man on a martial art movie set, or even martial art movie stars like Jackie Chan, they'll absolutely agree that they are not fighters, their acrobatic skills are for stage performing only. It's those self-claimed masters that deceived people into believing they can become the hero in those movies, to make profit from it.
Agreed, but some of the martial arts can be true though.
A bunch of misconception. Martial arts seen in Chinese and Hong Kong movies are for the badassery, cinematic and theatrical purposes. They are mainly for showing off, not absolutely practical for fighting though they could be used for self-defense. However, like many other real martial arts, they are for the strength, the health, the discipline, and the morals.
@@hoppinggnomethe4154 Yeah
All the flashy stuff you see in the movies is to look cool, they aren't meant for fighting, you see the same thing in taekwondo
I showed this to my dad who does tai chi, he’s mad at me and offended lol
LOL :D
I think Tai Chi is great for relaxation, kinda like yoga, but not for self-defense. In a street fight an amateur MMA practitioner, a Tai Chi practitioner will get knocked out b4 he even raises his/her hands!
Well the original style is Tai Chi Chuan, it is a fighting style, but over the centuries, has been reduced to an excercise.
Haha
Tai chi is a joke. The best kongfu is from shaolin temple, it’s been this way for over 1000 years, some fellow Chinese won’t accept this because they are not pro buddhism like our ancestors. How sad.
Dont sweat it. My anti-evolution mother is mad at me because I showed her a science book.

1:10 the most effective defense technique
moving a pigeon up and down
aaah I am already trembling from the power of this dude XD
i think the pidgeon technique is to work on reflexes. when the pidgeon tries to fly away and you move your arm down, the pidgeon wont get the momentum it needs to fly off the arm. i think it is a hard technique to do and practice in martial arts
Plot twist: The pigeon is the one locking the man down.
actually the "pigeon method" works like this:
when pigeon about to fly away, their claws or talon or whatever feet toe part clench naturally, so if you push your finger into their claws, they'll hold onto your finger, making it unable to fly
so the concept is that taichi is about going with the opponent's flow and counter or redirect their blows to somewhere else, and if you can match/sense pigeon's movement, it shows your ability on taichi to a certain extent
although I know how it works but I am still supporting this dude's work on exposing fake martial artists
He mastered the pigeon and blocking punches with his face techniques!
Looking at this guy I made poopy in pants
There is a BIG reason, All ARMY in the world use Karate and MMA style as the training. Simple, fast, and very effective to disable and take down anyone.

What a great man. Imagine if an elderly person decided to learn from these "masters" in order to protect themselves.
I lived in China for many years and I will tell you this: This video encapsulates the Chinese Collectively and Chinese Culture/Cultural Pride in a nutshell. Xu Xiaodong must be given all credit for his genuineness and fearlessness. He is one of those many rough diamonds among the Chinese masses. When it comes to themselves, the vast majority of Chinese are vain, boastful and prideful. Even though everyone else knows their claims to be either fake, over boastful or just plain, deceitful, hot air, they won't pull them up about it because of "face". When reality shows them to be wrong they won't accept things as they are. They are not humble or truth-seeking, but double down on the falsity and then promote censorship and a false narrative to try to confuse the issue. Of course the Government-controlled media made a meal of Xu - he is the very thing they hate: an individual with guts and who not only sees when the Emperor has no clothes, but is not afraid to say so. He is a threat. Alas, speaking truth to power in China will always have the same effect - the destruction of that Individual by Chinese Society.
Sounds like Trump supporters.
It's called COMMUNISM
Wel that's how it is in lots of societies. Trump is a hot air emperor too
@@Banana_Split_Cream_Buns Really? I thought it was pretty unknown and that the most fearsome one was Muai Thai.
taojas, exactly!! they criticized Bruce Lee for the same reason, do not want to lose their undeserved prestige, created with suggestive demonstrations, their scams
"Nobody knew about MMA In china but me" - Bruce Lee was the original MMArtist, and brought many forms of martial art along with popularity to the USA, indirectly becoming the father of American MMA. Part of his whole story was about his chinese community being against for not only mixing arts to create a new one, but for teaching it to americans as well.
to be fair Bruce lee is american but raised in hongkong. That time Hongkong still not under Mainland China
@Karl S I was comparing him to the MMA guy that said he was the only person in china to know MMA. He wasn't by far, Bruce Lee was, and was ostrisized for it by these same "fake masters"
@@NinjaTheEvan it is possible that it was merely hyperbole, used because he knew no one there who knew of it. He can’t be expected to know what a billion other humans know anyways, and it is certainly true that China would wish to have as little overt western influence in their culture right now as possible. For that to be limited in the public domain is expected under their current regime, and the demonizing of MMA as foreign influence does sound about part for the course. Why would such a narrative permit its subject to become widely familiar to its people?
Xu Xiaodong seems like a nice guy and an honest man. He already has my respect, and I hope he succeeds in gaining the respect he deserves from everyone.
"We are all living in a perilous time
Standing on the light is a heinous crime"
-unheard truth
Do these people not understand that MMA isn't a slander on traditional martial arts , it's the strongest fighting style becouse all it is, is a combination of the most effective techniques from all other martial arts so some mma fighters may use a struck from tai chi. There only a few styles that can be used in their purest form to beat an mma fighter and thats karate, muy tai, jujitsu and wrestling, and even then most mma fighters practice these martial arts the most. All I'm saying is traditional martial arts isn't bad but it's never gonna be better than mma.
the one who laughs real martial art involves hugging your opponent to submission?
@@praystation If it works what's so bad about deadly hugs?
Systema, krav maga, taekwondo..
@@lassemadsen3803I don't know any styles from system and krav that are effective enough to be adopted into mma, taekwondo however I can understand.
Curt Christensen I think a lot of martial artists disagreed with it because it became a weakness to them. Some of the best fighters I know delve into different arts to complete their training. All martial arts have limitations and the MMA guys who have a strong base and pick up other styles shine the best. We can’t assume because someone does MMA they cannot fully know a specific art.
So im curious what all the people who are saying hes trying to destroy Chinese culture, think of zhang wheili
This man has my respect. A great fighter, he is really almost like an MMA activist.
Because he knows it will save lives. If you go out live w/ improper and inferior training you can die easier.
I am not in MMA (and I will not, I stay in Judo), nevertheless the better fighter has to win and not any regime. As already stated, there should be no east, west or whatever.
@@henrykoplien1007 el Judo es bueno para hacer Grappling
That’s the most accurate description of Xu Xiaodong “MMA Activist”. He would benefit from adopting this term more than making fake claims about his role in “China’s first MMA” match. He was on the wrong ideological side.. he probably expected to win against Andy Pi and that would indicate that he was poorly briefed about MMA or just brash. Looking back, Andy Pi was probably told that Xu Xiaodong was absolutely no threat. His students at the time were much better Sanda fighters and would’ve had enough BJJ skills to take an easy win against Xu. I guess Andy wanted that low hanging fruit...
@@antdx316 u should also remember that getting trained in mma won't save you when someone who is armed with weapons/guns or is trying to rob you in a group...
I respect you, many of us here in the west always wondered if that style could hold up against any form of combat. You did right by challenging the status quo, your country disowning you simply shows their ignorance and disrespect of defeat.

I might be mistaken, but the entire point of a lot of these “martial arts” is that you can take down someone bigger and stronger than you, so they’d kinda be probating their own martial arts wrong by doing that.
@@umno9830 It's BS, you can't do that

Yeah lol even in china everyone pretty much knows taichi is only a fun community exercise for the elderly
tai chi at one time was a effective martial art, sadly very few people know how to make it work.
not the only ... Shaolin, Wing Chun ecc.
No not everyone. An example is right here. I don’t even know any Kung fu or some other similar stuff.
It's not only for the elderly, it's beneficient for all, but I get your point.
In the 1950s, the Chinese government simplified Tai Chi to make it more suitable for fitness. Caused Tai Chi to lose the fighting function.
