I’m curious, how old are you?
[QUOTE=mesar;2625335]well, at age 50, I’ve seen him punch a 100 pound punching bag, hard enough to make the ends meet.[/QUOTE]
In these tough economic times, that is truly inspiring.
Are you saying you are 50 or him? I imagine to punch a bag and make the ends meet this bag was different than the standard heavy bag I’m picturing in my head, I don’t see how it could be possible to fold a heavy bag in half seeing as how it’s hanging from the top of the bag and all. What kind of punching bag was this?
Chi!
Man what’s wrong with you?

That’s probably much more common that most people think it is.

Hey, just saying. He has t3h r33l K@th003Y!!!
I’m 33, been doing martial arts since I was 12. Tae Kwon Do and Wing Chun are the arts I’m most proficient at, but I have experience in others as well. Been practicing BJJ for a year and wanted to train Muay Thai. My friend and I would do exchanges, for the past couple of years he’s been showing me here and there. But I’ve been wanting him to get into the drills and sparring.
The 100 pound bag is just one I picked up the local sports store and hung in his garage. I have a 6 ft Thai bag in my garage I train on. lol He wanted to get a wooden post and wrap it in boat rope and hang it in my garage for conditioning. Might still do that some time. That’s what he did for conditioning. He would wrap it tight, wet the rope, and would harden when it drys.
I can tell you right now, you are full of shit.
or an idiot … you could just be an idiot.
full of shit? do tell. if your referencing my friend hitting that hard, all I can say is I wouldn’t have believed it either hadn’t I actually seen it. Another friend of mine seen it, my Sifu seen him hitting that hard. or am I full of shit about believing my friend learning traditional Muay Thai? Well, of all the friends I’ve had he is the most honest of em all. Integrity. So yeah, I believe him.
In his youth, he learned boxing, went to learning Okinawan Karate later, then learned traditional Muay Thai. What I mean by that, learned it like a martial art, it had forms. Although they did full contact sparring.
Just upload some video of your mate folding bags and laying waste to fence posts. Easy.

Short bus answer so you can understand :
Yes, you are full of shit and seem to live in a fantasy world.
Post video or shut the fuck up with your nonsense.
you can believe me or not, your choice. I’m not going to debate it, or post a video to prove everything I say. Not the time.
Originally this post was supposed to go in the direction of people’s opinion on Wing Chun and Muay Thai. Like for instance, power generation differences, foot work, angle of attacks. But after going through some of these posts I think I know what kind of answers I’ll get. Scrap Wing Chun and do Muay Thai. lol Still waiting on intelligent responses. If there are none, don’t post. I’ll just let this thread die.
I have my ideas and how I feel Muay Thai can compliment Wing Chun. Yes, I am an open minded practitioner, I feel rules are nothing more than guide lines. Once you know them, you know why and when to break em.

Are you open minded enough to consider that “scrap wing chun, do muay thai” is an intelligent response?

how about training methods?
open minded enough to learn Muay Thai. Though if my friend starts teaching me, he’s gonna want to wrap a post in boat rope. That’ll cost me. Maybe just get a metal post and wrap it. cheaper than wood. Thats what my Wing Chun instructor does, but he doesn’t hang it, he puts it in the ground.
I got the heavy bag, mits, guess might as well start having him pound me. We have a Wing Chun student that learned Muay Thai in Thailand that could join, although he hasn’t done it in years.
Oh dear, its time to take your meds now… Yes, yes can watch the little mermaid again.

Both you WC instructor and the super muay thai fighter train on posts wrapped with boat rope? Are they the same person? Did the MT guy show the chun guy this, and now the chun guy punches a boat rope wrapped post? Or did each guy come up with this on his own? I’ve never heard of this method of training before so I find it surprising you know 2 people who train this way.

Do Judo is the standard answer. Or MT and Judo.
