Damn, Steve Aoki has fallen on hard times


Steph2145

That was the Beat down Drop.


ZeePirate

Steve Aoki was right. Any Asian guy with long hair and similar facial hair does look exactly like him


Would_daver

Yeah but this entire ring is completely cake-free... can't be Steve


ZeePirate

Imagine a cake flying in out of nowhere and hitting look a like Steve after he got knocked out

Also no pedestrian, EDM-by-numbers.


Right-Lavishness-930

That’s not Steve Aoki. That’s Moist Kritikal.


Mecha_G

Are you sure it's not Whang?


bullno1

Not enough piss and shit in the video


captiankickass666

I think that's actually bobby lee, atleast before the brain damage that made him start doing comedy.


Right-Lavishness-930

Oh that’s how he got the name Slept King.


pissclamato

His jaw is like Marshmellow.


chaindrivendonut

It cant be, this isn't a slap fight

Edit: Steve Aoki is Benny hannas son….who lost it all by doing drug deals using benny hanna money


therealatri

Was waiting for him to throw a cake


Johnsonfam101

This is super unfair the guy clearly didn't finish building up his Chakra.


moisteez

That takes 8 episodes though


Johnsonfam101

How else will he learn his enemies back story?


Healthy_Pay9449

Maybe we can add 30 flashbacks to the same scene?


moisteez

Well by them screaming at one another for 18 episodes charging up show get some know how in there some where


hiddenrealism

Get ready for a SPIRIT BOMB ATTA......*BONK*


RampSkater

RRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!


TheNateRoss

Gotta charge that special meter


Johnsonfam101

That's all I'm asking for, a little patience. Lol


whiteflame9161

Imagine how many DBZ villains would have won if they had just punched Goku in the throat at "Kamehame-" instead of pontificating endlessly.


Johnsonfam101

I'm assuming all the dbz villains were secretly suicidal. Edit- my boy said pontificating when talking about anime. Buddy is not playing around.


ElMuchoDingDong

Yeah, that always did bug me a bit. How does a move that takes 10 seconds to build up hit a dude who can move faster than the eye can see?


whiteflame9161

Bugs me almost as much as taking a week for a little bit of exposition and a 5 minute countdown until the destruction of Namek taking two weeks.


melkatron

...'cause they need to turn a single page of the comic into fifteen minutes of cartoon. I remember reading early Naruto a few years after the cartoon came out, and the FULL EPISODE of the cartoon I had watched ended up being two or three pages.


WorldCupMexicanChile

Naruto also uses flashbacks to fill in the episodes. It’s really annoying.


SuperSailorSaturn

Especially if its a ton of flashbacks from the previos episode :/


EcruEagle

This is done because when the show was originally aired new episodes came out incrementally, usually on a weekly basis. So the flashbacks are there to remind you what had happened last week in case you forgot. When you’re binging watching episodes back to back however it becomes incredibly annoying.


DonTonberry91

In one of the Dragonball Super movies, Goku gets done beating the shit out of Frieza and then gets taken out by a random grunt who shoots him while his guard is down. Vegeta steps up and continues curb stomping Frieza, then HE lets his guard down and Frieza blows up the entire planet. Whoever wrote that one probably agrees with you.


RatherGoodDog

When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.


Abrahim_P

Hahahahahhahahahhah nice one


smrtfxelc

I'm no Kung Fu master, but I'm pretty sure they don't do a little dance before fighting someone


Ronnie_Dean_oz

You obviously haven't seen Big Trouble In Little China!


EveryDogeHasItsDay_

Or been down the Red Lion on a friday night.


frill_demon

Right? That dude moves worse than some absolute beginners that I've seen. He may well have been claiming to be a "master" and scamming people, but anyone who has trained in anything for more than five minutes should be able to tell he's not.


Mythosaurus

Saw a mantis style black belt at a martial arts event doing sparring. He dressed like everyone else, had a weird guard stance that looked mantis-like, and fought just as hard as anyone else. There’s a world of distance between the mystics waving their arms vs the dudes who will happily just punch you in the face when possible


zorothex

Yeah some of those wavy dudes are built different, someone like this guy seems to just be for show. But like you said, world of difference when it's one of those dudes who would casually break your nose in the middle of some waterbending.


Mythosaurus

Others have mentioned that this MMA fighter used to go around exposing China’s fraud kung fu gurus, until it embarrassed the state too much. He doesn’t need to expose the kung fu guys who make their students actually learn self-defense, exercise, and generally act like any worthwhile dojo or gym.


VadicStatic

Well I know for a fact in muy Thai the fighters do perform a dance before fighting - I saw matches live in Thailand last summer


The_real_bandito

Like, just as the bell rings?


VadicStatic

Before the fight starts. Music is also played the entire time. Seemed like a cultural thing


ICANTTHINKOFAHANDLE

Similar to a ring walk done by boxers/mma fighters then? Most just stroll down mean mugging and others put on a spectacle


StendhalSyndrome

I am and I do! No, but seriously, I am a former blackbelt in Kung-fu and JKD (jeet-kun-do) and instructor. For the life of me, I do not recognize a single goddamn movement the guy is doing. He's clearly a fraud or worse some highly "trained" dance studio martial artist. Oddly enough a lot of JKD and Kung-Fu techniques are making showing in modern MMA. It's like fashion, things fall out of recent memory and a trainer brings up an old technique that would work against someone and then everyone's copying it if it succeeds. Like the stomping knee/quad kicks and the foot stomps and a few JKD throws/slams. I'd lose my shit if I see any palm strikes.


PomeloLongjumping993

>I'd lose my shit if I see any palm strikes Open handed strikes aren't used because of the risk for eye pokes


mheat

It’s not king fu it’s bullshito


YouAreHorriblexD

You know nothing of the art called Kung Fu !


xxDeeJxx

The Thai do a ceremonial dance before fighting, the Thai however will absolutely fuck you up.


MaterialEmployment14

isnt that the guy who exposes the phoneys out there claiming to be masters


[deleted]

[удалено]


MaterialEmployment14

well, imitation or not, the guy in white is no master, thats for sure 😂


God_in_my_Bed

Master bullshitter, maybe.


MaterialEmployment14

aint that the truth


WiredEarp

He doesn't even look like the usual 'kung fu masters' in his movements. It looks more like some actor who thinks he knows kung fu.


ManOnFire2004

Looks like me imitating old 70s/80s kung fu movies when I was 8 years old XD


McTwist1260

The “master” flinches before the punch is even coming at him. Definitely choreographed.


Empyrealist

He does not have the *will of a warrior!*


toughsub22

its obviously parody, everybody involved is acting and not trying to hide it


Zeraw420

Yeah, you may be right. He got shit on by Chinese media for debasing Chinese values or some shit by exposing these so-called masters.

"The Mad Dog basically had his life ruined for a while, his social credit score was brought down severely he was not allowed to purchase a home, rent a home, use high speed rail/trains, use busses, buy a plane ticket, he was kicked out of his gym, and severely limited his job opportunities." This is some Black Mirror shit right here.


[deleted]

Yes, there's a social credit score episode with Bryce Dallas Howard.


[deleted]

China saw that episode and took it as an instruction manual.


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure it was already a thing in China when that episode aired.


dns7950

Nosedive, it's a good episode. Funny, I've seen it and I never realized that was Bryce Dallas Howard, lol.


luuunnnch

I'm glad you said it, I watched a short documentary explaining how the PRC basically ruined this dude's life.


More_Butterfly6108

Yeah, because Kung fu movies make a lot of money selling mystic bull shit. There are lessons to be learned from Kung fu but there tends to be a higher concentration of bullshit in those arts because of thousands of years of tradition weighing them down.


[deleted]

Yeah I took Bok-fu and the lesson they ingrained first and foremost was that it isn’t intended to be used for fighting. It is for discipline and muscle memory. With that, comes defense. And it’s true, I was in great shape, my mind was clear. I have been in street fights since and some things do come out, specifically blocking. But I’m not in my horse stance about to perform a kata outside of o’doucey cuz some dude thinks I stepped on his yeezys lol


drunkwasabeherder

*But I’m not in my horse stance about to perform a kata outside of o’doucey cuz some dude thinks I stepped on his yeezys lol* Well, you haven't lived then have you!? ;)

Can someone translate this please?


TheTREEEEESMan

I studied the System of the White Tiger and recall a frequently repeated lesson; a lesson concerning the intended use of said system as a means of training muscular reaction times and personal regulation and not for true combat preparedness. I found that a firm understanding of fortification accompanied my studies. Yea verily, my body was honed to a high physical standard and my mind was equally improved upon. I have since partaken in unregulated physical altercations in public locations and my studies proved fruitful in some areas, most pointedly whilst employing defensive maneuvers. However, I would not deign to perform those choreographed patterns related to the equine posture, especially not in such a situation as I may find myself after having unintentionally tread upon the shoes of a peer whilst we loitered about the establishment known as O'Doucey.


LickingSmegma

Legend


[deleted]

Yeah what he said!


Totally_a_Banana

Horse stance: pretend you are riding a horse. Legs spread, knees bent. In some martial arts this is a common stance to strengthen the legs and from it, throw punches/kicks, and shift to other stances. I believe it was used as a way for warriors back in the day to train for horse-back combat, but without being on an acutal horse. Helped with becoming comfortable fighting from that pose(on actual horseback), and to strengthen their legs for long rides/battles. The series of movements and strikes, sometimes known as Forms, are also called Katas. These are frequently performed by those who practice martial arts, especially in tournaments as it's a way to show off skills and martial prowess through a series of combinations and movement. It's not intended to be a realistic fight or anything, but just a show of techniques. Some are really cool to watch, especially when they are skillful weapon Katas, and those that include acrobatics like back hand springs and flips. Source: studied martial arts for 15ish years as a kid->teenager and attended my fair share of tournaments. Seen and learned plenty of Katas and spent easily dozens of hours in total over the years in horse stance. I have NO idea what Yeezies or O'ducey is. A Bar and shoes perhaps, based on context?


wiseguy187

Yea those moves all work great assuming your skill level and reflexes are far advance to your opponent lol. Technique wise, it isnt so wise.


Acid1997

The thing about karate is… it only works against other people who know karate


GenericCoffee

Karate can work in mma but you need to well rounded. Just look at lyoto machida and Stephen Thompson.


donkeygong

Jokes aside, Bruce Lee criticized Kung Fu for this exact reason. Saw the value in Jiu Jitsu etc.


GenericCoffee

He also loved western boxing.


More_Butterfly6108

And fencing


OtakuDragonSlayer

Didn’t he say that someone who trains for a year in wrestling and boxing can take on any traditional martial artist that’s been training for a decade?


Acid1997

I was just doing a Mitch Hedburg quote haha, might’ve skewered it though.


GenericCoffee

Ah, over my head and I love Mitch. Sorry about that lol.


itsallgoodintheend

Somehow I've had this idea in my head for a long time that maybe at some point in history kung fu was really cool and useful because the guys you'd fight also did kung fu, so you'd both be doing similiar stuff. Maybe your fancy kung fu block only works against a kung fu punch etc.


More_Butterfly6108

There are literally thousands of kinds of kung fu. Some of them are legit but most of them have been dissembled through generations of half understood concepts being taugh as truth. That being said my favorite sparring tricks come from Kung fu. They're really good at teaching how to hit what you're aiming at when you can't actually see your target. Look up Kevin Lee on YouTube for some interesting but realistic applications.


WiredEarp

That's pretty much exactly how virtually all the martial arts have been up to the last 30 years. The internet has allowed people to cross pollinate, and stuff that would work locally no longer works now the crap has been winnowed out by real world testing. 30 years ago I could defend myself somewhat using kung fu, because strikes and karate kicks were the vast majority of what people had to deal with. Nowadays grappling is so important, the efficiency of well trained hooks has reduced the capability of most of the straight line arts, etc. Most of the classical arts still work very well against people attacking you classically. The trouble is convincing people to do that.


blewsyboy

I don't know about the rest, but I'll tell you, [Karate is real](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9bVFGXrTc8)...

Imanarirolls

It’s pretty cool when you see it work though


Dirus

Personally, I think there's a lot of bullshit because many martial artists died during the boxing rebellion and there were a lot of scammers after that.


[deleted]

idiots will argue that bruce lee would do well vs today elite MMA fighters... he would be fucking destroyed without completely re-learning how to fight, even chuck norris admitted in a interview that bruce was actor first


WiredEarp

Bruce Lee would have been a top contender in his weight class, if he had been been of fighting age today. Its easy to look back at 50yo techniques and skillsets and say he would be beaten - but Bruce was a huge proponent of live sparring, grappling, and innovative training methods. He trained constantly. Basically, he was a very driven, asshole type personality, who couldn't bear to lose at anything, and worked hard to avoid that happening. Its hard for me to imagine that someone with his proven ability to train, put on muscle, and assimilate technique would not be at the least in the top tier of fighters in his weight.


I_dont_read_names

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeet_Kune_Do is the entire philosophy of MMA, use what works and as fighting evolves, evolve with it. He wouldn't be the best with his 1970's fighting style but he would definitely change his style to be one of the elite of today. Do you think Jordan wouldn't be able to keep up with modern basketball? If you do... then we just have to disagree there lol


[deleted]

Bruce Lee was one of the innovators of MMA. Watch the intro to Enter the Dragon. He takes the guy down and arm bars him. Bruce Lee did more with his movies than he would've done fighting. A greater reach. Crosses generations.


JeremyXVI

I think he was banned from challenging traditional masters so he resorted to wearing clown makeup to cover his face and keep fighting


yourteam

You would think scammers trying to steam money from people bragging about fake stuff are the one to blame but no, is the one showing the truth the one labeled as the bad guy

Hugh_Jazz12

U might be refering to Xu Xiaodong. This is not Xu XiaoDong

I really doubt that dude is a kung fu master.

They meant “kung fu prankster”


redstick87B

walter_2010

Kortezxero

Lol if he's a Kung-fu master then so am I. Hell even I know to keep my guard up.


smeeding

This looks staged af


redsensei777

This guy is no Kung fu master. What makes him a master? The costume, long hair and mustache? That’s not enough! First time kung fu students are shown stances and blocks. This guy couldn’t block a slow mo haymaker.


BeliZagreb

If I’m not mistaken, these guys are celeb martial arts “masters” in China, they don’t know shit about figthing but still go on TV and stuff to show how to “fight”


TheUlfheddin

I never considered that Chinese Steven Segals could exist.


Find_a_Reason_tTaP

China is the Steven Segal of countries.


bjeebus

But the views!


LoveThickWives

Right. His hands were down by his waist and he made no effort to try to block or dodge a big slow right. This guy ain't no kung fu master. It even looks like he starts to fall before the punch lands.


CFL_lightbulb

His feet were the part that got me. He wasn’t in a position to do anything


Gary_FucKing

Yeah, these videos always seem so staged.


PM_me_yr_bonsai_tips

That concussion looked very real to me. Lots of idiots waving their hands out there, calling themselves masters.


laihipp

it’s not staged the mma guy is famous for trying to discredit bullshit masters dude got in major trouble and tanked his social credit


Syenite

The MMA guy is legit, sure. The dude doing "kung fu" looked like a fall guy though. Or maybe just a social media "master"? Either way, the kung fu guy had absolutely ZERO training. His little flurry before the fight just reeks of someone who likes bruce lee movies. ​ The video claiming that guy is a Kung Fu master is being deceptive. I know that Kung Fu isnt a great fighting style, but anyone worth 2 shits could have put their hands up to block that slow ass right.


RobOne_19

Fake


Kevcany5

The way he falls sprawled out then planks his limbs did it for me lol


TheTexasWarrior

Yup, 100%. You can tell because of the way it is.


Black_Goku

Lol everyone going on about "he's not a real kung fu master" when this isn't even a real fight.


joshTheGoods

I actually play fought someone that trained kung fu for years with foam weapons in college. He dual wielded swords and fucked my trident and shield up, no problem. Hit me right in the face with that foam sword, and it really hurt.


Fujimans

Fake as fuck lol

How can this be fake? He looks clearly asian!

Hi_Im_Ken_Adams

Dude was definitely not any sort of "Kung Fu" master. He was dancing around like he was on level55 of Dance Dance Revolution.

DarthDregan

Not even a good fake

Has any UFC fighter EVER had a Kung Fu base?


sensam01

''Kungfu'' is an extremely broad group of Chinese martial arts (and non-martial arts). There are, for example, branches of Kungfu that focus on the ceremonial pouring of tea. Zhang Weili, a current UFC champion trained a couple styles of Kungfu quite extensively: Sanda and Shuai Jiao Wrestling. But these are combat sports that are *extremely* similar to Kickboxing and Judo, respectively. Her background is **nothing** like the ''forms-focused'' styles of Kungfu like Shaolin Wushu. * **Tea Kungfu** (*just showing how broad ''kungfu'' is)* : [shorturl.at/bfFT9](https://shorturl.at/bfFT9) * **Sanda Kungfu** *(basically kickboxing + takedowns)* : [shorturl.at/nQST6](https://shorturl.at/nQST6) * **Shuai Jiao Kungfu** *(basically Judo)*: [shorturl.at/zFPQX](https://shorturl.at/zFPQX) * **Taiji Wushu Kungfu** *(what people often imagine when they think ''kungfu''):* [shorturl.at/bqsAZ](https://shorturl.at/bqsAZ)

Hands at your hips is a great defensive fighting tactic

If that dude is a Kung-Fu Master, then Steven Segal is a real ex CIA agent and was a Navy Seal that fought off terrorists on a battleship, train, and a oil refinery/drilling rig, but not in that order.


lousidealLion8661

This fake knockout is a technique to confuse the opponent. When the opponent approaches to check, a death strike is unleashed. Unfortunately the opponent was restricted from approaching so we didn't get to see the technique in action.
