Things you don't know about MMA - 'martial arts' have just caused Chinese martial arts to fail

Chinese Tai Chi masters were defeated by amateur MMA fighters within 10 seconds. What is MMA that is ultimately so powerful?

Recently, Chinese netizens are very interested in informing traditional martial artists who openly challenge MMA modern martial arts. The cause of the incident comes from a clip of a spectacular "solo" between Tu Hieu Dong - MMA martial artist, and Wei Lei (Lei Lei) - a high-ranking master using Tai Chi.

But contrary to the big words, the match between Xu Xiaoping and Wei Lei ended very quickly, in less than 10 seconds. East lost the pillar and launched the punches on the Thunderhead. The referee stopped the match, and the Tai Chi master left the floor with a bloody head.

From Xiao Dong then there are also statements that are "extremely arrogant" about Tai Chi, when judging that this is not a defensive martial art, and Taiji masters are all fraudsters. . Along with contemptuous words when given to Bruce Lee, public opinion and Chinese martial arts world felt really indignant, wanted to teach Tu a proper lesson.

In fact, Wei Lei used quite new martial arts as Leung Gong - martial sect he founded, based on Tai Chi foundation. So it is hard to see Le Loi as the representative of this discipline, let alone the whole of traditional Chinese martial arts.

Xu Xiaoping defeated Wei Lei for 10 seconds.

However, things are also causing many people to question traditional martial arts, at the same time, curious about MMA. In the end, what is MMA that Xu Xiaodong is willing to use to "raise his voice" in the land that is proud to be the cradle of the famous thousand-year kungfu?

MMA is not just a separate martial art

MMA stands for Mixed Martial Arts - which means synthetic martial arts . Understandably, at the same time an MMA will have to use many different martial arts.

While traditional martial arts focus on freight rights, tactics and tactics, MMA takes advantage of many martial arts factions to form its own fighting style. There are 3 ways of fighting as follows:

1. Stand-up : The way to use the right, stand out like Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Combat Sambo, Karate, Taekwondo.
2. Clinch (stuffed, wrestling) : Freestyle, Judo, Jiu-jitsu, Sambo can improve the stuffing, wrestling and throwing abilities, while Muay Thai helps to increase the stuffing force when attacking.
3. Ground (hitting the ground) : Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Jujutsu, Sambo . help control the situation after things, increase grip, hold and how to defend in those situations.

MMA - "comprehensive" blend

Rarely do any MMA fighters practice a special style of fighting, but the fighting style will be used flexibly according to the situation.

It is common for a martial artist to practice with many different masters, and it is not uncommon for a person to use a defensive posture of boxing, but unleashing high and dangerous kicks of muay, then rushing into objects And clip your neck like with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

MMA fighters will be used flexibly depending on the situation.

For traditional Chinese martial arts, the strong point lies in the ability to move, avoid attacks and unleash dangerous attacks, but when being approached it is difficult to hit. And MMA, with a "simple and practical" principle, what helps them survive on the floor is wrestling and hitting the floor.

If you do not possess strong enough attacks to "knock-out" your opponent, the boxers will find ways to lower the opponent to the floor. Doing that, they can punch continuously, like the way Xiaojun defeated Wei Lei, or used extremely difficult, tightening moves of Judo or Jiu-Jitsu.

Falling and attacking continuously - the spectacle is often seen in UFC matches.

Attack simple but dangerous, approaching as soon as the opponent falls down.

It will be extremely difficult to defeat an MMA master if only one martial art is practiced separately. This is one of the points that helps MMA fighters to be considered "more comprehensive" than traditional martial arts.

Speaking of the MMA and martial arts contests, many argue that Chinese masters this time will regain their honor by defeating Xu Xiaochong. However, this may also be a big shock, because if the statement "No martial is perfect" is the truth, then it is clear that MMA is the closest candidate to remove the truth. Is that it?
