In the 3rd video, is Zhang Yanfei (black pants) doing tai chi or kickboxing? Fighters train Sanda at Chen Jia Gou. The lines get blurred and people may have different opinions.

AFA Yi Long, he is a Shaolin monk when he wins and not a real Shaolin monk when he loses. :)

Edit: Okay. I agree. I took your hint and moved my post about Yi Long to Off the Topic. Actually, I was thinking of doing that before I even posted it in this thread.

I wasn't giving you any hint
I just thought it was funny how he was refered to in two different ways
I thought it fitted in there
Don't put power into the form let it naturally arise from the form

Now that's appropriate. About time. People who don't really understand what's going on seem to think that he lost because of a superior Style. That couldn't be further from the truth. He finally lost after a lot of wins 2 one of the best mauy thai champions ever. On that level it wasn't the style it was the man. Not to mention the rules favored the champion

Oh, I didn't even read the article that closely. So, I missed that tai chi part.

I am not as interested in Yi Long, since the rules are more restricted and the possible mismatching and/or fixing. The more open the rules, the more interesting to me.
