lol.. the Kung Fu wasn't exactly good either lol. Stuff like that makes me feel really happy about my training as a kung fu student lol.
An experienced boxer wouldn't have turned his back to his opponent like that. An experienced boxer would have taken a slap in exchange for the opportunity to land a hard body shot or headshot.
I do long fist and my long fist doesn't look like that when I spar. My assumption is that if we knew what system of Kung Fu he's actually we will probably come to the conclusion that he's not a good representation of that system either.
Well, most boxers wouldn't be any good against Tyson, either.
He could be a boxer. He's just a bad representative of a boxer. The question for must of us will always be are we a good representation of what we do. Sometimes we are good at the training side of things and bad at the competitive side of things. This guy lacked a lot of basics and I think the other guy that is some kind of martial artist lack the basics that one would expect to see of a beginner. I wouldn't use either one of those guys to represent either Kung Fu and Boxing. I would never say to someone "Hey come do kung fu or boxing. This is what it looks like." Then show that video
I'll say he's definitely not only a boxer. There's movement that looks trained (though perhaps early in training), but doesn't appear to be from boxing. I didn't see anything that looked like a boxer with a few months of training and sparring. Some of that may have been an attempt to adjust to the opponent, but I'd have expected planned adjustments to fall apart when he started getting hit, and the boxing to come out. I saw no boxing - no taking advantage of the elbows being up. No driving in. No covering to get past the flurry of high strikes. I don't think he has any significant training in Western boxing.
