Now that we have empirical evidence with MMA, it has been found that certain "martial arts" are in fact useless a real fight. This list of useless martial arts includes Chinese Kung Fu, Israeli Krav Maga, Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do and also Korean Taekwondo.

 

The martial arts that actually prove useful in a real fight are Boxing, Muay Thai, Wrestling and Jiu Jitsu.

The heroic Chinese MMA fighter Xu Xiaodong has exposed countless Kung Fu "masters" as frauds, defeating them in fair fights.

 

His incredible story:

Every day in this day and age we are subject to so much nonsense and fake stories. This is just another one. Really don't care what this idiot Xiaodong has to say. Krav maga, and Kung fu can be very deadly. Street fight or not.

Lol, Xu Xiaodong has let his hands do the talking. He has challenged Chinese Kung Fu "masters" and defeated every single one. Usually in less than 2 minutes 40 seconds.

 

Kung Fu is useless.

 

Krav Maga too is useless.

Both are completely useless in a street fight.

 

Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, also is useless.  Bruce Lee was a fraud. We have been lied to all our lives, with Kung Fu being presented as a real fighting art. It is nothing but a fraud. Like Krav Maga.

The OP is not wrong.  

I would say between equal experienced trained talents, weight and reach is two of the final  major factors.

The only thing this proves is that he is a better fighter.

It does not prove anything else.

 

I am just concerned that those who practice Krav Maga, Kung Fu or Taekwondo may believe that their "art" protects them in a real street fight.

 

If they confide in the things they learn in Krav Maga, Kung fu or Taekwondo class, they could actually unalive themselves and end up very very dead.

 

Please do not think that Krav Maga, Kung Fu and such protect you in a real fight. They won't! They are only tested against compliant and passive practitioners of the same "art"!, not against an uncooperative and aggressive opponent. There is no real sparring in these "arts". 

 

So do not rely on them.

I still believe the best option is not to fight at all.

There are champions with karate background who have done great in mma.

Before Xu Xiaodong took on these Chinese martial artists, they claimed "invisible knockouts", "the ability to crush a water melon with one hand" and other completely made up nonsense. They were defeated as you can see in the above video.

 

In addition, there is nobody in MMA that uses Kung Fu succesfully.

 

Rather than not accept Xu Xiaodong's proof that Kung Fu is usless, you should ask yourself:

 

"Have you seen proof of this martial art defeating an uncooperative aggressive opponent many times over"? If you have not seen this proof do not believe the outlandish claims of these "arts".

 

Most of these "arts" do not have real sparring against an aggressive opponent in their program, and are thus completely overwhelmed when faced with Boxing,. Muay Thai, Wrestling or Jiu Jitsu.

Indeed, this is why I did not include Karate. With Karate it depends on the style, Kyokushin Karate for instance is legit. Others are not.

Hundred per cent accurate, running away is the best option in 99.9% of cases. But that assumes you are fit and able to run of course.

Sadly Aikido is one of the frauds as well. Particularly painful for me, as I love the graceful AIkido, but apparently also useless.

 

Like Kung Fun and Krav Maga, only tested on compliant practitioners of the same style, no true sparring against an aggressive opponent.

If you are not fit to run,how are you going to fight?

There are different kinds of fights,also depending on where you are.

How good is MMA against a gun?

In a real fight in the USA guns can be drawn and people die.

Well, let's say you're obese, you weigh 120 Kilos. Running away may not be an option. However as George Foreman showed, boxing and wrestling could well be options.

 

If you are faced with a fight with no weapons obviously when a gun is involved you put your hands up. Unless death is imminent, then fighting may be your last option.

Jet Li is a Wushu practitioner. Like Bruce Lee, Jet Li is a total fraud. Wushu is completely useless in a real fight.

 

Both Bruce Lee and Jet Li are liked trained monkeys pushing coloured lanterns around. Their nonsense would get them killed in real life.

Go tell that to Tommy Carruthers in Scotland to his face that JKD does not work...try and wipe the floor with him...I'll put 100k on him without even seeing you....haha.

Cartuthers is an old man now, I would be afraid to kill him accidentally.

 

You can see him in action here, with the usual disappointing compliant sparring partner. Jeet Kune Do, like Wing Chun and Wushu does not have real sparring against aggresive non-compliant opponents. Hence, JKD, like Kung Fu, Wushu, and Wing Chun is useless, purely Vaudeville.

Back in the early seventies Bruce Lees style was about the only game in town.

 

Along with Chuck Norris, Bill “Superfoot” Wallace and others involved with Karate.

 

The more advanced fighting methods and MMA didn’t exist back then, to my knowledge.

 

Like comparing a F4 Phantom to an F-18 Super Hornet.

 

Great scene.  Love how this actor portrays Bruce Lee

 

 

 

Yes, Bruce Lee's pretend fighting and make belief for the movies was useful in that it popularised the existence of martial arts, but there was and still is a lot of fraud.

 

I thought Tarantino was being disrespectful in satirising Bruce Lee, but he was spot on. Muhammad Ali would have killed him.
