"by the first two generations of Yang Style TCC. Many students of those masters migrated to the West in the years prior to WWII"
everything wrote:the name doesn't really matter. i think that's one of the problems. if we wanted to fight like fedor, it's not really fair to say it's "just" sambo/judo. or that it's "mma style". same with jon jones. if we wanted to box like tyson or mayweather, jr. or ali, it's not really specific enough to say it's "boxing style". i guess it's ok as a starting point. so then people say small frame, large frame, or whatever they say, while assuming they have the "starting point" down. but it doesn't seem like they really do. if we cannot do "basic boxing" or "basic sambo", can we really describe fedor or tyson? it doesn't seem like it. i can watch a few videos to get some 3rd party knowledge I don't really understand.
