the only problem with the legit chinese systems is their weakness to the ground game... if a jujitsu expert latches on, shaolin guy is in trouble. Not because the system is flawed, but because, by design, it focuses on mobility and maintaining distance, because being in striking/grappling range is bad, especially if your foe is stronger. The chinese systems actually do have some pretty effective grappling stuff, but self-preservation being a priority means focusing on avoiding the grapple entirely, and escaping it when you can't avoid it. In the chinese systems, the last thing you want to do is remain connected to your enemy, or allow him to control your body with brute force. If he can't touch you he can't hurt you. Grappling is something you don't want to have to do unless it's necessary. In jujitsu, grappling is the priority, by design. I think both are very valuable, and it's just interesting to see the two contrasting approaches collide.

I will agree with that, if your up against someone who can grapple and has a all around good ground game then a lot of that stuff is well, null and void..i think that the shaolin focus on speed and technique and mindset..but don't quote me on it as im not well versed with this stuff...

sub-zero234 · Jul 25, 2014

Couldn't have put it better inna milyun years is the exact reason I will always kick the crap out of my brother Jerry his study of various Chinese systems have ruind his potential ground game he just can't get on the ground

IRON-EYES · Jul 25, 2014

I have limited Greco-Roman wrestling and judo training tho guy who taught me was very good and yeah it's always been enough to deal with most anything I've ever had to grapple situation because of my natural flexibility

sub-zero234 · Jul 25, 2014

yeah im not nor ever have been a big fan of violence..its stupid and not necessary at all

sub-zero234 · Jul 25, 2014

I would still like to learn the very basics though..as im small and all I ever carry is some very potent pepper spray

Didn't mean to be offensive but I'd started this thread with the intent to draw together martial artists not discussing the martial arts we viewed on YouTube
