Guan Acui: Bruce Lee's Spirit Unleashed in Kickboxing Arena
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 มิ.ย. 2024
- Guan Acui has one of the coolest kickboxing styles ever, and many in China call her the "Female Bruce Lee." We have three matches to analyze and learn from in her triumphant 2017 KLF victory over some great fighters. Guan Acui has amazing angles, combos, distance management, and a sidekick to end all sidekicks. I'm so glad we took another look at Acui and her amazing Bruce Lee-resembling, Sanda-style kickboxing. Leave a comment and let us know what you learned from her kickboxing style. Is she as close to JKD as we'll ever get? Does she deserve the nickname Female Bruce Lee?

@@hurricanesantana5522tell me more!
@@FightCommentary sure I can email you some of my fights.
She's an amazing fighter. Like you said, she should definitely go into coaching. I love the way she fights.
You should have included Zhang's name in the title: more views.
Hell ya, Weili is more famous than this Acui girl
I agree, Bruce Lee and Zhang in the title would get more views
Honestly if Zhang Weili and Bruce Lee were in the title I would've subconsciously clicked... thanks for introducing Acui for me
Another thing that she has in common with Lee's Jun Fan gung fu/JKD concepts. She holds her lead hand low - almost like a Philly shell.
Lee famously did that speed demo with Vic Moore at Ed Parker's Long Beach Invitational where Moore could not block Lee's non telegraphed swiping punch (although Moore disputed this and is, in turn, disputed by Ed Parker's disciple, Chuck Sullivan who was present and claims he couldn't stop Lee's punch).
I think part of what makes that Lee's speed punch hard to detect is that it is slung so low outside the direct view of the opponent.
Long guard is used more as an interim guard and is held higher up. Often used defensively against an aggressive pressure fighter to stiff arm or pop them in the chest or neck in order to push them back to create space. It's like teep with your hand.
Muay Thai fighters will not leave their hand stuck out and compromise getting kicked or clocked in the head. That's generally not what the long guard is used for. It's more of a momentary guard as circumstances dictate. Long guard can also be used offensively with your forward movement to create space for a kick, or - believe it or not - like the man sao in wing chun to bridge with the opponent to get into a clinch.
I believe Buakaw uses the long guard effectively. th-cam.com/video/tB7nHMidhis/w-d-xo.html
Sharp Observation 💯
My teacher said that the idea behind a right hander being a southpaw is that your dominant hand is naturally fast, co-ordinated, and powerful. You can teach your rear hand power but speed and co-ordination are harder. It took me a while to get used to it but it feels natural to me now.
The simultaneous bouncing feet with lead hand low is a common stance in international sanshou. The sanshou meta breaks down to those looking to score and those looking to damage. If you’re looking to score, you stay light and ready to answer any attack with a counter combination. The bouncing ready stance, like TKD, gives you options for lead low kick (opening to various punches or clinch followups) or sidekick.
Forgot to mention that the low outstretched lead hand is for warding off or catching mid/low kicks
The reason we don't see many people fighting like this is because there are better ways to do it. Bruce Lee himself would admit it because he would have evolved over time as well. In the end, it's not the style of the fighter but the fighter representing the style.
Both fighters were amazing in this match. Always love seeing zhang weili in action and i really enjoyed seeing the female bruce lee show her stuff
Acui is a brilliant fighter. Her southpaw stance is more "fencing", so its not meant for power, but for quickness... and... a very important way of misdirecting and hiding the side kick --- can't help it, the human brain will follow the closer threat. Like you noticed, her angling and head movement is fantastic (as in just enough to evade).
Not sure how to defend against her. It is really hard to see that side kick coming, AND, she can vary it when required. Her leg parries are excellent too.
Bruce Lee's uncanny strength and flexibility would make it like trying to catch a fish in a clinch. Darn those wiry guys! 😁
reminds me a lot of Japanese karate (Shotokan, shito-ryu etc.). Lots of very fast in and out movements, relatively low hands, main defense is distance control etc.
Also, look at how many bruce lee experts in the comments pretending they know better 😂😂😂
Seems to me like Karate, quanfa, and the Korean styles seem to have the bladed stance in and out sort of fighting type when fighting. Pretty interesting.
Weird thing with i found, is that my main arm is my left, but my main leg is right. Switching for me has both advantages and disadvantages
When Bruce Lee is in the title you know it's going to be good
Either good or funny lol
Bruce king of martial art❤
It might be impossible to satisfy bruce lee fans: anytime call anyone a "bruce lee-like", 1000% a bruce lee fan will say something along the lines of "bruce lee would be faster/not as fast as bruce lee" 💀
Yep that is the very embodiment of the philosophy of Bruce Lee
I think Acui won. That side kick is so good. For the 3rd fight she was not even that tired at the 3rd round
It's our lost when a great fighter retires, so skillful, many weapon, forever in history
her stance reminds me a lot of JKA fighters, even more so old school JKA or WKF fighters. body is less square more at a 45 angle, staggered stance but not as bladed as North American Karate
0:57 If you look into it MANY fighters in the UFC fight dominant hand forward. GSP on video said he's actually a left handed orthodox and called it his "secret weapon".
I have a list lol!
Powerside forward UFC fighters: Anderson Silva-right handed southpaw, Jon Jones-left handed orthodox, GSP-left handed orthodox, Colby Covington-right handed southpaw, Nick and Nate Diaz-right handed southpaws, Dustin Porier-right handed southpaw, Cyril Gane-right handed southpaw, Lyoto Machida-right handed southpaw, and Israel Adesanya is ambidextrous but was born left handed and often fights orthodox.
P.s yes most of this fighters switch and fight well in either stance, that's part of the benefit AND note how Wonderboy fights, he's right handed and when in southpaw he uses alot of lead leg kicks and in orthadox he throws more rear power kicks
You can't be ambidextrous, but born as a left-handed person XD. Adesanya is just ambidextrous
Excellent list, thanks for pointing out all the names
@@facundotomasmezaalarcon3401 Yes you can be actually...Israel was born left handed and said this himself, but where he went to school they forced him to write right-handed; which caused him to become ambidextrous
@@soulintake yw, I might also be forgetting a couple fighters
@stephanwatson7902 That's not how being ambidextrous works. You can train your non-dominant side and use it properly without being ambidextrous. Ambidextrous is something natural, not something that you can train
It’s the basic point fighter stance. Any point fighter has that bounce in traditional competitions. That transfers into continuous well when they start blitzing and throwing scary combos.
Bruce Lee inspired Fighters - Boxing , Kickboxing , MMA
*Bruce Lee inspired Me* 🥋🥊💪 ☯ ☸
She fights like that Dagastan with red hair and 1eye. He uses his kicks like her, leads, fast, well disguise kicks and he hasn't lost yet.
Fighting 1000x better than the Bruce Lee immitator in your last videos lol
Is kun lun back up and running? So many good fighters for ufc and one came from kun lun
I still can't properly get in touch with them. But I will keep you posted.
@@FightCommentarylove girls hit each other crotch
@@FightCommentaryirls clit,bartholin gland,bartholin gland ducts make her feel same as us guys sharp burn pain numb nausea etc 😅facts if hit 3 those outside by vag hole
How much weight was she giving up to Weili? Looks like it had to be at least be 5kg or more.
❤❤❤👍
I love her movement but I'm scared for her getting clipped by Weili.
Karate guys and tkd guys fight like that... constant movement side stance low guard etc.. all distance and timing
Thank goodness she can't spin, I'd really start to question my abilities. Actually validates a lot of things I've thought about though, like the ambiguous chamber.
Acui is worth to be called female bruce lee.
12:28 'Guan Acui is very good'
Bruce would've gone for throws or taken a leaf out of Williams book and used Karate open palm uppercuts in the clinch I reckon.
@@RichPT there's a lot of first hand accounts from people who saw him fight, Hong Kong was a rough place to grow up and to make movies and there was plenty of accounts of him fighting in the street and doing very well for himself. Doesn't necessarily mean it looked anything like the movies, which of course were exaggerated and stylized for filming purposes, and of course there wasn't any televised fights against professional fighters, but we shouldn't say that because nobody filmed his street fights in the 60s (no phones then!) that they definitely didn't happen
@@RichPTWhat are you talking about!? Bruce Lee is literally the greatest fighter of all time he would beat UFC heavyweights with his one-inch punch and send them flying out the octagon… We all know movie stars fight better than career fighters!!
@@RichPT He fought as a kid a lot I believe
Very kung fu representative
I was gonna say - the most vivid thing about her is her strong root - she's like a lumberjack hacking away at a great tree without much rebound. If it has been actively cultivated then yeah, it's Kung Fu. But it could just be a natural gift. For her future coaching career, I hope it was cultivated.
She got rob
The girl in the black is using boxing techniques to beat her.
She ain't no female Bruce Lee, she's a female that can throw a cool side kick. But she throws punches like this is a elementary school right! Look at those wild flailing blows, how did nobody teach this person how to properly throw a hook? I'm amazed.
She didn't need to know to do that, basically
female Bruce Lee she's cute Would she like to come to America with me America lol
For some reason watching this is like watching a Border Collie vs a pit bull
Border collies are too smart. I like putbulls.
@@FightCommentary wow you answered my post. Hey if you wanna see some good sanda vs others you can check out Wei Rui's matches. Especially since he won the Japanese k-1 2017. He uses his Sanda side kick pretty effectively! He fought again the following year but lost cuz he was sick and not feeling right from cutting too much weight or something like that but he was an awesome Sanda based fighter in his prime.
I will take a look!
Guan Acui is using JEET KUNE DO concept very good, if she learn JEET KUNE DO skill a lot he will be more Perfect by now
I feel bruce Lee would be a lot quicker.
jesus christ
She can be a good JKD fighter if she learns the JKD's punches and kicks. She doesn't do nothing from JKD 😆 she looks like jkd, but is not, the sidekick is not the same, she doesn't even aim to the legs.
K-1, Krush and ONE has good women fighters
Nit even close. She’s bouncing around more like a taekwondo fighter. Her punches are wide looping punches. Not like Bruce Lee. She is talented, but not even close to Bruce.
