The practical application of a butterfly kick. | 實際應用的武術旋子。 | 实际应用的武术旋子。

Although I'm a big martial arts fan, I'm not too much of a MMA fan. Don't get me wrong, I fully respect the "style-less" form of fighting that Bruce Lee helped push into the mainstream but as an athlete it's a bit too close for comfort. Just like wrestling, I don't really like how you have to be all over your opponent with his sweat dripping all over your face or much worse someone's crotch in your face. I would rather tap out than have to deal with that. Which is why I stick to stand up fighting like boxing or Muay Thai. I used to like watching MMA especially in recent years where their sport has really evolved, but after breaking my own leg, the sight of people getting their arms or legs broken in submission holds started to make me feel ill. The fight below however is worth an examination.

Video: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjY3NTM5NDM2.htmlThat has to be the first time I've seen the practical use of the "butterfly" kick that I used to practice over and over again while training in Wushu. Although it was my favorite move, I could never really figure out it's real practical application...until now. Although the Chinese fighter didn't actually kick his opponent with the move, he used it creatively to literally go over his opponents' guard to find another angle and deliver a smashing round kick to the face. Nice move. Now that more Chinese are fighting MMA, I wonder how many traditional techniques will be unearthed in the future? Will we see the "monkey steals peach" move soon? |

雖然我是一個武術迷，我不是太MMA迷。不要誤會我的意思，我完全尊重“風格，少”的的形式戰鬥而且李小龍幫助推入主流，但作為運動員這是一個有點太 過舒適。就像摔跤，我真的不喜歡 看你是如何將所有在你的對手與他的汗水滴落在你的臉上，或更糟糕的， 有人的胯下在你的臉上。我寧願挖掘出比必須處理的。這就是為什麼我堅持要站起來戰鬥像拳擊或泰拳。我以前喜歡看MMA特別是近幾年，那裡的運動真的演變。但我的腿摔斷 後，人的集中力在摔斷他們的胳膊或腿開始讓我感覺不適。不過下面的戰鬥是值得的研究。
