Snow Tiger/ Lin Kuei/ Chinese Kill System!

**Permalost** · Posted On: 8/09/2011 5:26pm

I came across some videos when I was searching for videos of bando. They're a group that practice some made up system(s) called snow tiger, or lun kuei. The funny thing is that lin kuei, the Chinese killing system, is from Mortal Kombat, and if you read the comments asking about this, they get pissy. They had to get the Mortal Kombat style from somewhere, obviously! In fact, lin kuei is the reason ninjutsu exists! Some videos:

Ninja gis and weapons inside a crappy apartment!:

Beating up a tree outside his apartment, with muay-thai looking attacks and fighting shorts, AND a fat guy in a heavily patched black gi, flailing quickly in a gym:

Flailing away with blades, and of course CMA with elbow shields are oh so cutting edge:

For some reason, they've also got a Cleber Luciano fight:

And here I thought the Koreans invented ninjutsu.

I'm pretty sure SUB-ZERO is from the Lin Kuei. If so, sign me up. But I doubt these guys know ice magic. Maybe bullshit magic.

The Evanescence soundtrack combined with the slick ground game at 1:30, 2:30 and 3:38 just made it for me

If there is a Lin Kuei, there must be a Shirai Ryu.

1:49 made me lol "peek-a-boo!"

It doesn't look completely illegitimate though. It seems as if it's a mixture of bjj, kali, krav and wing chun.

There's an armbar at 0:43

Some krav style surprise attack disarms, with some other form of hybrid-flashy something or other at 0:46 to about 1:02

Some chain punches and kicks and 2:23 mighty side kick to the knee...

The problem with this is the elements of wing chun though and also the fact that most of it is compliance based. All of those loose swinging arm flailing attacks would most likely just result in a punch to the face.

The second one is the video that makes it lose credibility: stomping to make attacks seem stronger, random ki-ais, flurry of "can't fail" combo techniques and breaking to make the system seem legitimate.

I would like to learn this system. I love the bendy arm attack thing.

Jeez, I know I'm gonna sound like an idiot, but that first video looks really, really fun. I'd really enjoy all the flailing and spinning and rolling...

I'm not dumb enough to actually pay money for it, but I'm dumb enough to enjoy the idea of doing it.
