Fighting and China's Fighting Level
Author: Zhang Fu, successor
China's Sanda training system is easily compatible with MMA's training and fighting system, and the effect of wrestling with the ground in Sanda is faster than that of Muay Thai without wrestling at all, which is why people who entered MMA earlier in China have Sanda background. Early Zhang Tiequan, Dai Shuanghai, Aohailin, and now Giant Horse Buick all have Sanda background. In business affairs, China's Wulin Wind has done a good job (business is mainly marketing and making money). Read my article: What are the levels of various Chinese and foreign competitions of Wulin Wind Program? . Moreover, K 1, the once-standing star event, was acquired by Hongyan Investment Group in Wuzhi * although the acquisition was a decline event). Now there is Kunlun's decision.
At present, fighting in the ring, take MMA for example. The technical gap in China is not as big as expected, but there is still a big gap in strength and physical fitness, and the professionalism of the coaching team is not strong enough. At present, UFC's big masters have seen a large number of men in black enter the stadium. At that time, the technology tended to be homogeneous (with Muay Thai, karate and Sanshou as the main stations; Throwing free fall, including a small amount of judo; The ground is basically Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, including some surrender wrestling). Strength and physical fitness will play a greater role.
There are more people practicing MMA in the United States than in China, but Dana White compared UFC to NBA, maybe daydreaming. No matter the mass base, the number of participants, social influence and market value, it is far from an order of magnitude.
The trend of UFC. The homogenization of UFC gameplay and the slow entry of new technology systems have also brought about the loss of some American audiences. The audience only likes to see new and exciting things.
About military struggle. Military operations for military police, focusing on capture technology system, one-move enemy control system and firearms coordination system, are available in China, but the subdivision is not professional enough. I am also actively cooperating with the China military to bring these three systems to China.
About fighting practiced by ordinary people. In the United States, many people (especially the rich) practice various self-defense techniques in a short time, with high efficiency, and do not need long-term strength and physical training. The people I met in MMA class in new york are really all fighting for their fathers, and there are also women, but all the women are women, and the people who practice MMA are basically not social elites (by profession, there are basically no doctors, lawyers and business managers). Most professional MMA players come from the bottom of society, as do several famous UFC players from Brazil and Mexico.
On wushu and military war.
Since the Paleolithic Age, all boxing and unarmed combat have no direct relationship with war.
In the Paleolithic, people fought with sticks and stones.
After the invention of bows and arrows, archers are the most powerful arms, and unarmed combat and war are more distant.
After the stirrup cavalry appeared, the armed infantry were basically floating clouds, and unarmed combat was only an auxiliary training.
The original intention of boxing competition is not war, but an entertainment tool for slaves to enjoy the freedom of nobles. Because in the period of the Boxer Rebellion in ancient Rome, war was already dominated by heavy knights and archers. Modern boxing and fighting events have been extended to "viewing". As commercial activities, they are not only for the nobles to see, but also for everyone to appreciate. Of course, tickets, surrounding areas, broadcasting rights, gambling and advertisements all have huge commercial interests.
However, fighting skills will not disappear, and many of its training methods can be transferred to self-defense, fitness and use in military and police arrests. It can also be used as a way to cultivate the quality of will.
