speaking of martial arts and its history I like jesseEnkamp. He did a series on origins of karate. He understands the reality of those memorised forms,results of not sparring,pressure points(sensitive parts like balls etc). This ancient asian culture of generations did bring interesting stuff like breathing techniques and power.
"Hey Mike!!" I yelled out across the street in NYC when I saw Mike Tyson walking down 35th street and 8th Ave and said "Hey man, I just want to say hello and shake your hand". He reached down and shook my hand. I was SHOCKED at how large an solid this man's hand felt. I have large hands myself ..I can easily palm and basketball. But when I felt his handshake I IMMEDIATELY knew why he knocked men out. Wow. A legend.
Mike Tyson is a legend. I remember watching him boxing in his prime and thinking, wow, poor other guy. Did he not break a record for having the hardest punch? Pls correct me if I am wrong.
Shook hands with Joe Frazier once, and to me it wasn't the size, it was the strangeness. I remember thinking "this is like velvet covered steel." Not that he had super smooth flesh😃 But it was so unnaturally hard it was weird. When the Terminator movie came out, I was like "That's it!"
It's actually true, they are known for striking from the shadows, using poison tipped weapons , sands/smoke to mess up your senses and generally not fighting fair .
Imagine knowing Tyson has knocked out the biggest, baddest, strongest dudes at the top level of boxing countless time, and thinking "he can't hit me, I can just touch his arms and stop him". Peak level delusion.
Very few people have been good enough to stand up to Tyson and nobody with a brain between their ears would be stupid enough to challenge them either. You can talk smack about Tyson if your last name is Douglass or Holyfield. Other than that, you better have your coffin picked out first.
sounds no different than "I can stop an 18-wheeler on the freeway, I'll just focus and absorb the energy incrementally and re-direct it til it stops" *Insert clip "What you just said is the dumb... God have mercy on your soul"*
Mike Tyson is the single most terrifying fighter I’ve ever seen. He is a human missile of hatred and power at inhuman speed. Not the best fighter, but absolutely the scariest.
I read American Shaolin, which is a book about an American guy who went to China in the 80s to learn kung fu from Shaolin monks. And I remember him writing about how they'd all gather around a tiny TV to watch Mike Tyson when he had a fight. They revered him as a great fighter, if not the best in the world. These were people who did nothing but train since they were kids, and lived at the temple, and they had the highest respect for him.
I agree I think the Shaolin monks are literally the only group to ever actually employ some focus on combat oriented prowess into their art The shaolin have been practicing Kung Fu daily for 2000 years so it makes sense that would show respect to someone who's doing something similar Mike Tyson was practicing everything related to boxing every day for years
10:20 A martial art master from Indonesia once commented during Tyson's prime that Tyson employed a very similar technique as martial arts by using his waist to give his punch more power. Perhaps those Chinese martial art "master" didn't see Tyson during his prime. By the time China started to open up to the world, Tyson was on his way down.
When I was in high school a kid was bragging about how he was a black belt and could defend himself from anyone in the school. My friend said he was talking shit and that he could take him no problem. Kid said "try me." My buddy humiliated him on the spot. There is a huge divide between sparring and being in an actual fight with someone that has the intention of destroying you. People tend to forget most, if not all of their practice the first time they get punched by someone that actually hates them.
@@NikeaTiber I think the term for sparring partner is a "compliant opponent". They can help you to train and commit moves to muscle memory but that won't give you will to actually mess someone up.
@@NikeaTiber I've seen multiple martial artists get their asses kicked by poor kids who grew up fighting a lot in real fights, pound for pound I would bet money on a kid from the hood with some fights under his belt over most traditional martial artists with no streetfights. I was already a competent fighter before starting martial arts, now I am old and rely on gun-fu
I saw a guy once say his body was harder than steel. He chopped his arm on TV to show how powerful he was, straight to the hospital where he cut down to the bone. Nasty.
Theres a reason why the novice defeats the master. Its easy to defeat someone when you taught them their every move. Its hard when you dont know what moves they will make. These sorts of fake martial arts like kungfu and karate are all useless once you start grappling like xu xiadong proved.
Yes, test in real situations, use what works, throw away what doesn't. Like the early days of UFC when Royce Gracie was running through everyone, eventually they all started studying it and today it's a variety of techniques that are the most effective. These faux fighters are still stuck in an echo chamber smelling their own farts.
I've recently started archery and I encounter something similar all the time. It doesn't matter what style you choose, someone will say it's wrong. Arrows on target don't lie and that's exactly how I deal with them. I put all my arrows on target and ask them if there's some other goal in archery I'm unaware of.
I trained in Karate before I tried amateur competitive kick boxing. What a wake up call!!!!!! Everyone is tough until they take a hit, then the real fighter quality comes out; or doesn't.
I think just about any martial art has value, but typically they are columns of knowledge that rarely create cohesive responses to every situation. That's the value of multiple disciplines. That being said most styles are useful against people who don't know how to fight. That's where most of the bulk of utility comes from single disciplines.
Yes. It is amazing how many tough guys go down once they feel their first bit of real pain. Being able to withstand extreme pain is half of being a fighter. My dad uses to say, "Son, make a friend of pain, and you have a friend for life.". That statement is true. EDIT : Also... when receiving pain you have to use that pain to propel you to greater and greater amounts of violence. In other words... Get angry. Use that anger to further fuel your violence. But always stay in control of yourself.
I'm training for Brazilian and Thai kickboxing for almost 15 years, and I agree with you. If someone who practise karate, think they can have a chance to beat a pro heavyweight boxer like Mike Tyson, they're delusional.
Thanks for talking about Xu Xiaodong. The man literally sacrificed his social credit to challenge the combat effectiveness of traditional martial arts.
It makes sense why Arrogant Young Masters and Out of Touch Elders are bums. We barely see them train and they mostly just take on drugs and laze around(pretend meditate).
A punch does not care what school of martial arts you practice. A punch will hit your face and your face will hurt. And if the punch is from Mike Tyson, your ancestor's face will also hurt.
Bruce Lee knew why. “I Fear Not the Man Who Has Practiced 10,000 Kicks Once, But I Fear the Man Who Has Practiced One Kick 10,000 Times” And if you are up against a mountain of flesh who just needs to let his weight do the work its over anyway, unless you can get him off his feets.

Challenging Mike Tyson in your first boxing match was suicidal. Luckily Mike Tyson 'held back' otherwise he would have ended up paralyzed - and that if he was lucky!!!
MMA's explosion in popularity in the early 2000's absolutely put to bed the idea that most of the martial arts used today are anything more than art, not a practical tool for self defense, offense, or close combat of any kind.
It's been enlightening, but also kinda heartbreaking to see people who've dedicated their lives to a martial art and then have to face the reality. Right now it seems that only functional martial arts are boxing, wrestling and their combinations. Judo, BJJ, those are good starting points, especially for younger folks who need to get in condition and learn to grapple. That's it. Too bad BJJ and especially judo have been moving away from their original style to become more spectator sports. Today's sambo is more what judo used to be when it was still a great grappling martial art.
I do at least like to think that kung-fu still helped people become fit and develop strong discipline though, but yea, the main separating difference is that MMA's literally specialized towards only the most efficient and simple forms of combat, while regular martial arts are more just general practices that help a person continue to feel limber in their old age.
Tyson may be 56, but he still has a strong jaw. The kung fu dude wouldn’t hurt Tyson even with clean hits. One hit from Tyson and it’s hospital time for mr. Kung fu
just to believe that a boxer would not use his waist in punching shows such a level of ignorance its insane. Every good punch comes up from the heel over the waist, into the shoulder and then gets the final force by twerking the wrist. Boxing is THE martial art for hard and precise punches.
i was always taught to not punch from the arm but from my back leg and twist my hips then let the punch out. Idk why these people think thats a national secret.
These tai chi masters think that punching with your whole body isn't something that's taught as basically the first thing in boxing. The conceit is amazing.
@@Isnogood12 It's because they've drunk the coolaid. Anyone that starts learning boxing are always taught to punch with you whole body involved, even learning the most basic punch, which is through a jab requires using your whole body.
He should have watched the interview with the actor who did it. He was terrified of Tyson and he knows win chun which is way better than tai chi. Plus tyson was in a good mood during the shoots.....
@@b1slee267 Yeah, such audacity, Can you believe a silly boxer would even have a chance against the drunken monkey, the drugged tiger or the atheist mantis style? Laugh in CCP...
Ip Man is weird. Did you notice how the punches he throws all land in a way that would break your hand? He hits with his outer two knuckles, which just doesn't work. You will break your hand, I guarantee it (and have done it twice). And on top of that, I remember him "rolling" is wrist into the punch, which is a great way to sprain a wrist while breaking your hand. If that's how wing chun is actually practiced, it's fake as fuck.
This is something I've seen happen in the last 10 or so years. Many of these masters challenging certain fighting champions and getting absolutely floored. You would think they'd learn to stop after a while.
@@RuffWarl0ck agreed. His teacher (yip man) tought Bruce the 6 inch punch, Bruce became better than his master in many ways, including, managing to refine the 6 inch punch, right down to one inch. As long as he managed to either dodge or block Tyson's hook punches, he would likely dance around him, to wear him out and then complete the job. Either way, can you imagine how mind blowing it would be, to see these warriors in their prime, in the ring? 👌👊💜👊
@@rosehippyguy3402Bruce Lee said that Muhammad Ali would beat him in a fight. Muhammad Ali said that Mike Tyson would beat him in a fight. I know that isn't scientific evidence but it's good enough for me. I'm a fan of Bruce but my money's on Mike every day of the week.
This made me recall my days of sword fighting. I was in a competitive, reality aimed organization that needed armor to keep you in one piece. Many martial arts practitioners would try and be shocked at how a real fight works when I could handily defeat them, even with practice weapons and unarmored. The ones that stayed found that they had developed a very solid base of muscle memory and responses that helped them develop the rest they needed quickly. The real difference between them and the ones that left was humility...they new they did not now everything.
Some years back I watched a TV series where a couple of guys that called themselves "fighters" rather than boxers or martial artists visited known boxers, wrestlers, MMA fighters and martial artists to talk about their style and train with them. It was pretty interesting. One of the most legendary MMA fighters they asked what he would do if someone tried to mug him using a knife or gun. "I'll run" was the answer. Even a knife could damage him a lot even if the mugger was a drugged up junkie who didn't know what he saw doing. But he was pretty sure he could run faster and longer than just about any junkie. If the mugger had a gun he'd give him the wallet, clock and whatever he asked for. A gun is very dangerous and you can't run faster than a bullet. When they interviewed a know martial artist in Hongkong the old man immediately said that if he got mixed up in a street fight he would cheat as much as he could. He was to old to run from others so instead he would knee them in the groin or something similar. It wouldn't be a fair fight but that was not what such a fight was. If he could cheat enough he could get out of that in one piece but trying to do that without cheating was just stupid. Then they talked with a martial artist that was in his prime. He was about 25 years old and spent about eight hours a day training and had been training since he was six years old. He went total martial artist when asked about a situation where someone tried to attack him with a know. This was way different than the old master, and they asked if it really was a good idea to try all those advanced techniques. The man said that sure, it wasn't something for the average man who trained some martial sport. But for him living the live all day every day it was different. Now I can't say I feel this last man was really realistic. A very well known martial artist says to run if it's a knife and pay whatever to get away if they have a pistol. An aged master says cheat as hard as you can, don't care about style of honor, surviving is more important. I feel the two first was most honest, while that last man was just living in his own dream world where his martial arts could take out a knife fighter or gunman. Sure he might get lucky and survive if the attacker is just bad enough, but it just takes some bad luck and things might go real bad. Now these Chinese "masters" who challenge boxers and MMA fighters I think live in their own world where they imagine they can fight anyone who is not a martial artist. That and there has been a drive from the CCP that anything Chinese is better than anything else. So it's a push to show just how fantastic they are. I highly doubt they ever thought someone such as Mike Tyson would actually agree to fight them. And they also thought he was a former boxer who didn't really keep in shape for fighting. And in part they were right, he isn't a world class fighter today, but he still has kept decently in shape as you can tell by just looking at him.
You've stopped practicing because just practicing would be too dangerous to others! Your inner power aura power flows out so powerfully that it would kill anyone who isn't a real fighter in a one mile radius. Just to protect the world from yourself, you stay home and watch Netflix. Probably wearing an eyepatch to seal your cursed eye as well.
Years ago trained to box in the Army years later I was standing alone watching a fire truck, kung pfooey guy blindsided me with a kick to my stomach. Tightened up on instinct he bounced off ,looked at me said something and walked away. I DUSTED OFF MY SHIRT and laughed, never saw him again. That was his best move.
Because delusional, falsely believing that since Tyson is past his prime they can now dunk on him. Good thing is Tyson actually needs to be barely at 30-40% to send any of them in the afterlife
A True Master has mastered the full kata. None of it makes him a warrior. One is an artist. Perfection to teach the next. The other is a conqueror. To teach the next fear, respect and humility.
It's a well known fact in the martial arts community, that if the style does not have any hard pressure testing, then the style is all nonsense for hand to hand combat.
You should look into chinese and japan History. You could duel a master and take his dojo back in the days. Even deathmatches were a thing to steal a spot while destroying a dojo and killing the master
My cousin was very "matter of fact" regarding fighting when we were growing up. He enrolled in Karate and was convinced his instructor could defeat multiple people at a time (at least three). We weren't talking people with no fight skills, either. He was not someone I thought could be brainwashed like that. It was before UFC was televised, internationally.

Chinese fighters fight well in movies and martial arts club until it’s time for real life display. When we were kids these movies made us believe Chinese could walk through 100 people easily
@@willemsmaI walked through 100 people yesterday at Sea Port Village. I only had to walk around 2. They were both young kids. The youngins are easily distracted, and never see what's around them. So I'm always mindful of people's young ones. Oh, you mean like fighting? Oh, I was just mentioning walking through crowds..... My misunderstanding....
At 05:31, it is apparent that Mr. Jacobs, your guest, has a solid grasp of "real fighting," while his understanding of the clinical mindset is remarkably intuitive as well. As a former clinician, I have observed that many of the obscure assertions made by self-styled "Masters" often reveal a range of clinical issues, including varying levels of extreme dysfunctional narcissism and a condition referred to as "super optimism," which is linked to criminal personality theory. Individuals with this condition tend to harbor conflated and highly distorted perceptions of their own abilities that diverge significantly from reality. The significance of this video and its subject matter for your channel is underscored by the fact that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and urban culture in China are currently experiencing a widespread cultural delusion regarding their own greatness, capabilities, and worth in the global context. This delusion could ultimately precipitate their decline further than we are already observing...
That's a great observation. Also, I think they're successful with their students only because of subjection, which would be effective if people are told the same thing over and believe in nonsense like "chi" or something alike. I also think that what you're calling "super optimism" is very common in countries like China. Not only in the field of martial arts but in many technical areas as well. I've seen many Chinese people, and Indians, telling me or my colleagues they "were more capable than us because they were more intelligent" which is a big no no in the country I'm living in, where being humble and respectful is important. It immediately has the opposite effect, and put others against them immediately. (I'm from France, but I live in Canada, since 1990) it's good to be self confident, but you have to be humble in our society, and showing off is really looked down on.
@@SurnaturalM There is a great rift forming between "Asian Cultures" outside of urban China and even within the country itself between the rural traditional cultures there and the urban or CCP culture. This rift and arrogant mindset is their greatest weakness and inevitably their end as a governmental structure as I have little doubt that China will endure its current "social illness" that is the CCP as it exists today. Thank you for sharing your insights. A potential area of divergence in our views may arise concerning the concept of "Chi," which is deeply rooted in various cultural traditions and is only recently beginning to gain traction within scientific discourse. It appears that the surrounding "mythology" often overshadows a more practical and scientific comprehension of the phenomenon. A straightforward interpretation, which some "Chi Masters" may be reluctant to acknowledge, is that "Chi" is not a mystical entity; rather, it can be understood as a complex, albeit not yet fully elucidated, aspect of our body's electrical system, particularly in relation to nerve synapses.
If a martial art requires a long explanation, it is most likely horse manure. Boxing teaches you how to punch people. wrestling teaches you how to grabble people. Kickboxing teaches you how to kick people. Tai chi, well let me get out my ancient silk manuscripts.
Pankration was the hand-on-hand ancient Greek technique of fighting in war in case all weapons were gone... [nothing sporty about it...] Pankration can be translated as “complete victory.” The basic rules were similar to those of MMA. Pankration combined boxing, kicking and wrestling. But it was so barbarous that MMA looks like golf by comparison. Pankration had no weight classes, meaning lighter fighters faced vastly more powerful opponents.
@@Americansikkunt you can explain the details of a punch in hundreds of lines, or also in just one phrase. its a linguistic issue, not a question of efficacy. to say ' in fighting, yes it does' its also a non sequitur

Western boxing has just a few different punches which they practice endlessly. They've refined their bodies and their minds through endless drills and practical sparring. A thing isn't perfect when you can't add anything to it, it's perfect when you can't take anything away. I'd rank boxing as one of world's top true martial arts. Wushu and stuff is visually impressive, but practical it isn't. If you find a martial art that doesn't spar in practice, only doing "kata" or forms, and claims it works in a fight or that it'd be too dangerous to spar with, then you know it's a Fakeass McDojo and you should go elsewhere.
I think this is due to the Chinese internet being so restricted. It cuts people off from a LOT of commonly available information. This Tai Chi master never got to see the UFC or learn that working against resisting opponents is key to making martial arts work in real life. So his whole understanding of martial arts comes from the echo chamber if his own training and movies. So he really thought he could beat a professional boxer.
Iron Mike may have some rust due to age but he's still Iron Mike. His hands are rated E for Everyone and some slow motion park dancer isn't going to last.
The closest thing most martial artists ever face to an actual fight is supervised spars. Some go to tournaments and, practically, spar in a ring with a referee supervising, and are awarded points for technique, not winning. This video is an example of what happens when you put those martial arts masters into the ring with the fight only stopping by knockout or surrender. Although boxing does have judges who award points which decides the winner if the fight has no clear winner such as with a knockout or surrender.

Nah dude Chinese martial arts are just a load of sh*t compared to MMA, it’s very simple.
Yes, test in real situations, use what works, throw away what doesn't. Like the early days of UFC when Royce Gracie was running through everyone, eventually they all started studying it and today it's a variety of techniques that are the most effective. These faux fighters are still stuck in an echo chamber smelling their own farts.
So you are saying that the techniques of the martial arts don’t work cause that’s right
I've recently started archery and I encounter something similar all the time. It doesn't matter what style you choose, someone will say it's wrong. Arrows on target don't lie and that's exactly how I deal with them. I put all my arrows on target and ask them if there's some other goal in archery I'm unaware of.
I trained in Karate before I tried amateur competitive kick boxing. What a wake up call!!!!!! Everyone is tough until they take a hit, then the real fighter quality comes out; or doesn't.
I think just about any martial art has value, but typically they are columns of knowledge that rarely create cohesive responses to every situation. That's the value of multiple disciplines. That being said most styles are useful against people who don't know how to fight. That's where most of the bulk of utility comes from single disciplines.
Yes. It is amazing how many tough guys go down once they feel their first bit of real pain. Being able to withstand extreme pain is half of being a fighter. My dad uses to say, "Son, make a friend of pain, and you have a friend for life.". That statement is true. EDIT : Also... when receiving pain you have to use that pain to propel you to greater and greater amounts of violence. In other words... Get angry. Use that anger to further fuel your violence. But always stay in control of yourself.
I'm training for Brazilian and Thai kickboxing for almost 15 years, and I agree with you. If someone who practise karate, think they can have a chance to beat a pro heavyweight boxer like Mike Tyson, they're delusional.
Thanks for talking about Xu Xiaodong. The man literally sacrificed his social credit to challenge the combat effectiveness of traditional martial arts.

A punch does not care what school of martial arts you practice. A punch will hit your face and your face will hurt. And if the punch is from Mike Tyson, your ancestor's face will also hurt.
Bruce Lee knew why. “I Fear Not the Man Who Has Practiced 10,000 Kicks Once, But I Fear the Man Who Has Practiced One Kick 10,000 Times” And if you are up against a mountain of flesh who just needs to let his weight do the work its over anyway, unless you can get him off his feets.

Challenging Mike Tyson in your first boxing match was suicidal. Luckily Mike Tyson 'held back' otherwise he would have ended up paralyzed - and that if he was lucky!!!
MMA's explosion in popularity in the early 2000's absolutely put to bed the idea that most of the martial arts used today are anything more than art, not a practical tool for self defense, offense, or close combat of any kind.
It's been enlightening, but also kinda heartbreaking to see people who've dedicated their lives to a martial art and then have to face the reality. Right now it seems that only functional martial arts are boxing, wrestling and their combinations. Judo, BJJ, those are good starting points, especially for younger folks who need to get in condition and learn to grapple. That's it. Too bad BJJ and especially judo have been moving away from their original style to become more spectator sports. Today's sambo is more what judo used to be when it was still a great grappling martial art.

I do at least like to think that kung-fu still helped people become fit and develop strong discipline though, but yea, the main separating difference is that MMA's literally specialized towards only the most efficient and simple forms of combat, while regular martial arts are more just general practices that help a person continue to feel limber in their old age.
It's like the mindset of the people during the Boxer Rebellion 1899-1901, where they believed they were so powerful that they were bulletproof.
Tyson may be 56, but he still has a strong jaw. The kung fu dude wouldn’t hurt Tyson even with clean hits. One hit from Tyson and it’s hospital time for mr. Kung fu
He would probably kill the guy, I mean Mike still trains....
He’s 58 actually but he will still win easy.
13:44.. I owe my grandma an apology for not believing her when she told me she fought Bruce Lee
just to believe that a boxer would not use his waist in punching shows such a level of ignorance its insane.
Every good punch comes up from the heel over the waist, into the shoulder and then gets the final force by twerking the wrist. Boxing is THE martial art for hard and precise punches.
i was always taught to not punch from the arm but from my back leg and twist my hips then let the punch out. Idk why these people think thats a national secret.
These tai chi masters think that punching with your whole body isn't something that's taught as basically the first thing in boxing. The conceit is amazing.
@@Isnogood12 It's because they've drunk the coolaid. Anyone that starts learning boxing are always taught to punch with you whole body involved, even learning the most basic punch, which is through a jab requires using your whole body.
The man got high on his own ego. He's lucky to be alive and Mike has been turning over a new leaf for a few years now.
He watched IP Man too many times to believe it was real
He should have watched the interview with the actor who did it. He was terrified of Tyson and he knows win chun which is way better than tai chi. Plus tyson was in a good mood during the shoots.....

Lmao wasn’t Mike in one of them? Ip man 3 no?
@@b1slee267 Yeah, such audacity, Can you believe a silly boxer would even have a chance against the drunken monkey, the drugged tiger or the atheist mantis style? Laugh in CCP...
Ip Man is weird. Did you notice how the punches he throws all land in a way that would break your hand? He hits with his outer two knuckles, which just doesn't work. You will break your hand, I guarantee it (and have done it twice). And on top of that, I remember him "rolling" is wrist into the punch, which is a great way to sprain a wrist while breaking your hand.
If that's how wing chun is actually practiced, it's fake as fuck.

@@RuffWarl0ck agreed. His teacher (yip man) tought Bruce the 6 inch punch, Bruce became better than his master in many ways, including, managing to refine the 6 inch punch, right down to one inch. As long as he managed to either dodge or block Tyson's hook punches, he would likely dance around him, to wear him out and then complete the job. Either way, can you imagine how mind blowing it would be, to see these warriors in their prime, in the ring? 👌👊💜👊
@@rosehippyguy3402Bruce Lee said that Muhammad Ali would beat him in a fight. Muhammad Ali said that Mike Tyson would beat him in a fight. I know that isn't scientific evidence but it's good enough for me. I'm a fan of Bruce but my money's on Mike every day of the week.
This made me recall my days of sword fighting. I was in a competitive, reality aimed organization that needed armor to keep you in one piece. Many martial arts practitioners would try and be shocked at how a real fight works when I could handily defeat them, even with practice weapons and unarmored. The ones that stayed found that they had developed a very solid base of muscle memory and responses that helped them develop the rest they needed quickly. The real difference between them and the ones that left was humility...they new they did not now everything.

Some years back I watched a TV series where a couple of guys that called themselves "fighters" rather than boxers or martial artists visited known boxers, wrestlers, MMA fighters and martial artists to talk about their style and train with them. It was pretty interesting. One of the most legendary MMA fighters they asked what he would do if someone tried to mug him using a knife or gun. "I'll run" was the answer. Even a knife could damage him a lot even if the mugger was a drugged up junkie who didn't know what he saw doing. But he was pretty sure he could run faster and longer than just about any junkie. If the mugger had a gun he'd give him the wallet, clock and whatever he asked for. A gun is very dangerous and you can't run faster than a bullet.
When they interviewed a know martial artist in Hongkong the old man immediately said that if he got mixed up in a street fight he would cheat as much as he could. He was to old to run from others so instead he would knee them in the groin or something similar. It wouldn't be a fair fight but that was not what such a fight was. If he could cheat enough he could get out of that in one piece but trying to do that without cheating was just stupid.
Then they talked with a martial artist that was in his prime. He was about 25 years old and spent about eight hours a day training and had been training since he was six years old. He went total martial artist when asked about a situation where someone tried to attack him with a know. This was way different than the old master, and they asked if it really was a good idea to try all those advanced techniques. The man said that sure, it wasn't something for the average man who trained some martial sport. But for him living the live all day every day it was different.
Now I can't say I feel this last man was really realistic. A very well known martial artist says to run if it's a knife and pay whatever to get away if they have a pistol. An aged master says cheat as hard as you can, don't care about style of honor, surviving is more important. I feel the two first was most honest, while that last man was just living in his own dream world where his martial arts could take out a knife fighter or gunman. Sure he might get lucky and survive if the attacker is just bad enough, but it just takes some bad luck and things might go real bad.
Now these Chinese "masters" who challenge boxers and MMA fighters I think live in their own world where they imagine they can fight anyone who is not a martial artist. That and there has been a drive from the CCP that anything Chinese is better than anything else. So it's a push to show just how fantastic they are. I highly doubt they ever thought someone such as Mike Tyson would actually agree to fight them. And they also thought he was a former boxer who didn't really keep in shape for fighting. And in part they were right, he isn't a world class fighter today, but he still has kept decently in shape as you can tell by just looking at him.
Maybe he thought Tyson would laugh too hard to fight back😂

A True Master has mastered the full kata.
None of it makes him a warrior. One is an artist. Perfection to teach the next. The other is a conqueror. To teach the next fear, respect and humility.
outside of a ring at least, fights in a ring are fine .
It's a well known fact in the martial arts community, that if the style does not have any hard pressure testing, then the style is all nonsense for hand to hand combat.
You should look into chinese and japan History. You could duel a master and take his dojo back in the days. Even deathmatches were a thing to steal a spot while destroying a dojo and killing the master
Sounds like the problem tbh.
My cousin was very "matter of fact" regarding fighting when we were growing up. He enrolled in Karate and was convinced his instructor could defeat multiple people at a time (at least three). We weren't talking people with no fight skills, either. He was not someone I thought could be brainwashed like that. It was before UFC was televised, internationally.

At 05:31, it is apparent that Mr. Jacobs, your guest, has a solid grasp of "real fighting," while his understanding of the clinical mindset is remarkably intuitive as well. As a former clinician, I have observed that many of the obscure assertions made by self-styled "Masters" often reveal a range of clinical issues, including varying levels of extreme dysfunctional narcissism and a condition referred to as "super optimism," which is linked to criminal personality theory. Individuals with this condition tend to harbor conflated and highly distorted perceptions of their own abilities that diverge significantly from reality. The significance of this video and its subject matter for your channel is underscored by the fact that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and urban culture in China are currently experiencing a widespread cultural delusion regarding their own greatness, capabilities, and worth in the global context. This delusion could ultimately precipitate their decline further than we are already observing...
That's a great observation. Also, I think they're successful with their students only because of subjection, which would be effective if people are told the same thing over and believe in nonsense like "chi" or something alike.
I also think that what you're calling "super optimism" is very common in countries like China. Not only in the field of martial arts but in many technical areas as well. I've seen many Chinese people, and Indians, telling me or my colleagues they "were more capable than us because they were more intelligent" which is a big no no in the country I'm living in, where being humble and respectful is important. It immediately has the opposite effect, and put others against them immediately. (I'm from France, but I live in Canada, since 1990) it's good to be self confident, but you have to be humble in our society, and showing off is really looked down on.
@@SurnaturalM There is a great rift forming between "Asian Cultures" outside of urban China and even within the country itself between the rural traditional cultures there and the urban or CCP culture. This rift and arrogant mindset is their greatest weakness and inevitably their end as a governmental structure as I have little doubt that China will endure its current "social illness" that is the CCP as it exists today. Thank you for sharing your insights. A potential area of divergence in our views may arise concerning the concept of "Chi," which is deeply rooted in various cultural traditions and is only recently beginning to gain traction within scientific discourse. It appears that the surrounding "mythology" often overshadows a more practical and scientific comprehension of the phenomenon. A straightforward interpretation, which some "Chi Masters" may be reluctant to acknowledge, is that "Chi" is not a mystical entity; rather, it can be understood as a complex, albeit not yet fully elucidated, aspect of our body's electrical system, particularly in relation to nerve synapses.

Western boxing has just a few different punches which they practice endlessly. They've refined their bodies and their minds through endless drills and practical sparring. A thing isn't perfect when you can't add anything to it, it's perfect when you can't take anything away. I'd rank boxing as one of world's top true martial arts. Wushu and stuff is visually impressive, but practical it isn't. If you find a martial art that doesn't spar in practice, only doing "kata" or forms, and claims it works in a fight or that it'd be too dangerous to spar with, then you know it's a Fakeass McDojo and you should go elsewhere.
I think this is due to the Chinese internet being so restricted. It cuts people off from a LOT of commonly available information.
This Tai Chi master never got to see the UFC or learn that working against resisting opponents is key to making martial arts work in real life. So his whole understanding of martial arts comes from the echo chamber if his own training and movies. So he really thought he could beat a professional boxer.

The closest thing most martial artists ever face to an actual fight is supervised spars. Some go to tournaments and, practically, spar in a ring with a referee supervising, and are awarded points for technique, not winning. This video is an example of what happens when you put those martial arts masters into the ring with the fight only stopping by knockout or surrender.
Although boxing does have judges who award points which decides the winner if the fight has no clear winner such as with a knockout or surrender.
