Sorry but I still stick to my opinion.
That's fine, I'm not really trying to change it.
But I still find it hard to make any meaningful judgment based solelyon old videos. And the statement "Very difficult to find anyone withdirect experience" means it is hard to find out the truth of it, does notmean it is impossible, if someone wants to know the reality of it then they look if not... they don't. Could be they are films of bad fights or fighters too.
There is or was a film floating around that was a fightbetween the Head of the Southern Wu Taijiquan family and I believe a whitecrane guy. It has been shown as everything from proof how bad CMA is to proofhow good CMA is. The reality is that at the time no one could quite figure outwhy the head of the Wu family was in this fight at all, there was a youngermember people thought should fight. But regardless it was much like an AliFrazer fight when it came to ticket sales and audience numbers. However thetruth of the fight was that the people there and all the martial artists therein the audience felt it was a rather pathetic fight. People were booing and thefight was pretty much stopped to prevent a riot and to prevent a major embarrassmentto the Head of the Wu family. It was a bad example of the CMA fighting ofeither style at the time, even the CMA guys that were there through it was badand I know this because my Taiji sifu was there with his sifu.
You can't judge any style of fighting on a video or claim itbetter or worse than another or better now than it used to be. At best you canonly judge the fighters and they may or may not be a good representation ofthat style. So without a direct attestation from someone there you really can’ttell much.
But if you want to believe that, that’s cool, you may or maynot be correct… that is all I am getting at.
