All Martial Artsu in MMA - PART  (12:25)
PART 2
-Martial Arts Lineage CHART-
Every Martial Art has its time and place... its the practitioner not the style.
WRESTLING = works (clips of Rampage slam against Arona's BJJJ, Dan Severn slam on Muay Thai dude)
MUAY THAI = works (clips of Bonjansky, Buakaw, Kaoklai esp. flying kicks)
KARATE = works (Andy Hug, Bas Rutten, etc)
TAE KWON DO = works (Don Hyun Kim, double-kick KO, John Makdessi: jumping back kick, 540 spinning hook kick vs Pat Audinwood)
JUDO = works (clips of Karo Parisyan throws, Rhonda Rousey throws + Armbars)
JIU-JITSU = works (clips of Gracies, Kimura, etc)
CAPOERIA = works (clips of the 3 famous Capoeira KOs)
NINJITSU = works (infamous Ryo Chonan .vs. Anderson Silva kani basami)
KUNG FU = of course it works too... (Cung Le, Belfort, Nam Phan)
There's only so many ways to kick someone in the head! None of these guys are purely "Kung Fu" stylists, but they admittedly picked up techniques along the way.



END with clip of Bruce Lee quote: "I do not believe in a Chinese style of fighting, or Japanese way of fighting... only myself"





P.S> if you want to diss Kung Fu practitioners, fight this guy in the Octagon (you practically called him out already):
-Clips of Shawn Obasi-
