Muay Thai VS Shaolin Kong Fu

Sounds normal to me.
Well according to the report it looks like it'll be Muay Thai vs Wushu.

Also I'm not a huge fan of Kaoklai =/
 
Shaolin today is government controlled and Contemporary Wushu with Sport Sanda. If they really want to prove how good they are they should go compete in high level Sanshou matches in China. If they are making a big deal out of going to fight a Shaolin they are just looking for publicity.
 
Gee, seems to me that issuing a challenge for disrespecting the Bhudda is, um, disrespecting the Bhudda. ;)

Because Shaolin is using Buddhism as a platform for commercial gain we must challenge them to a fight and thereby…… stop….. their….. umm… commercialism…. and wrongful use...of....aaaaa...Buddhism.....with...our... ummm... own... Commercialism...for our gain....aaaa....based...on....aaaa...Buddhism... a yeah.

The way I see it disrespecting someone means issuing an insult, whether real or perceived, to the ego. Buddha, having risen above the self is above the ego and therefor not able to be insulted. I tend to think that a true Buddha would have looked for a somewhat more peaceful means of settling the problem.

Yeah somehow I just don’t picture Siddhārtha Gautama going around and getting into grudge matches….


He left that to these guys and of course jin gang as well :D
 
Impressive 5 Muay Thai fighters who apparently have the same amount of power as the military of Qing Dynasty... what next... will they claim the Mandate of Heaven and overthrow Hu Jintao :rolleyes:

I vote Media hype
 
Ah, the San Shou vs Muay Thai fights still going on.....

Essentially, what this is a fight promoter trying to popularize san shou gets 5 san shou kung fu champions and gets 5 muay thai fighters of typically lesser quality, or well over the hill, to fight them under san shou rules. The typical result of course, that the san shou guys win under san shou rules.

The hype behind it is always comical though....

The fact that they fight under San shou rules really pisses me off.

My dad tries to mock me by telling me the recent victories of China when he has no clue that what goes on in those fights aren't even Muay Thai.
 
so those muay thai fighters are really champions in their country or champion fighters in the world? and who are the sanshou guys? what are their fight records? I mean, we hear these things going on, but don't know the quality of fighters from either side. I hope someone could point me to an article talking about who these fighters are.
