Don’t Box a Boxer – Sports Don’t Survive on the Street
March 7, 2010There is a saying in the Kung Fu San Soo world that goes something like this, “don’t box a boxer, and don’t wrestle a wrestler.” What this means simply is to fight the way you’ve been trained to fight. And, fight by the rules that you’ve been trained to fight with, which are no rules.
The whole idea in a fight is to come out the winner. For that to happen, the other guy has to lose, pure and simple. And the best way to insure that he loses is to never give him a chance to win in the first place. Whenever possible, strike first, and hit a target that will take your opponent out of the fight, such as the eyes, throat, or groin. This may not seem very sporting, but real fighting isn’t a sport, and there are no second place winners.
We have been given the ultimate in hand¬-to-hand combat fighting technique and method – Kung Fu San Soo. The power generated by proper shoulder turn is incredible. Combined with a punching combination that sets your opponent up for each subsequent and devastating blow, aimed at weak points on the body, makes this system a powerful weapon for the practictioner. But, it must be joined with a commitment on your part to inflict that pain and damage to your opponent. Without that commitment, the system is weakened. And when it is weakened by lack of commitment, it becomes a watered down version of a true fighting art. It short, it starts to become more of a sport.
And, sports don’t survive on the street.
