city boys box, country boys rassle. city streets hurt when you hit 'em. not like the country fields, pastures, or dirt roads.
tai chi chuan is a city art.
I am terribly sorry but I am so sick and tired of this whole NEED for ground fighting thing
.

I personally have nothing against ground fighting, I think it can be a good tool in the tool box but it is not the be all end all of fighting, PARTICUALRLY outside of the ring and PARTICUALLARLY on an ancient Chinese battle field.
Quantum Field Theory?
... or it may be "quoted for truth", which may be another way of saying ... "word".
i'm just theorizing about possible historical contexts that explain why china has produced little to no form of groundfighting, when it is so common in other countries.
like i mentioned before, i am primarily a grappler & i happen to agree with 99% of what xue sheng.
the problem is that all martial arts get shrouded in some form of ********, whether it's dodging bullets & throwing chi blasts (cma) or a 145lbs nerd who takes 3 bjj/wrestling/"cagefighting" lessons & can tap every blackbelt from any style (grappling).
fighting is fighting, & there are a lot of ways to get good at hurting another human being.
anyway, what i'm trying to get at is WHY groundfighting is largely absent from cma. asking this does not imply that i think cma are incomplete or inferior just because i personally am more comfortable grappling. i'm just theorizing about possible historical contexts that explain why china has produced little to no form of groundfighting, when it is so common in other countries.
hopefully you didn't think i was bashing,
