uhhrr... I hope that was just a sad attempt at humor... I don't think China is going to go to war with korea over a shaolin monk getting beaten up by a TKDer

Ah, thanks for the explanation Asia. I do admit that the TKD techniques looked good.

Anyways this is a SHOW match where neither is really trying to hurt each other but show the BEAUTY of their styles. It is a common thing on Asian tv but since the growing popularity of MMA they are showing up less and less.

Well. thats what you get when you got some PRC goon posing as a monk to sell tourist tickets.

Well if this was a staged event then it really is a bad example to show people interested in Kung-fu. IMO!

But this clip http://www.megaupload.com/?d=B7QZNJ3B :jerkit2yf

Search button does wonders:

Florida San Shou at IKF

For the lazy:
Direct link to video

A little background. They pulled the San Shou division at IKF, 3 out of 6 fighters for FSS decided to fight Muay Thai rules.....

Note: I uploaded the file to putfile, so the link in this message works, I'm
not sure if the old link still works.

Yep. I've seen these guys fight san shou rules, 1 out of 3 may have won their matches under the rules they normally train for... The last match was stopped due to a lost contact, so who knows...
