I mean, obviously the mystical powers and stuff is fake. But, lightning fast speed and styles of combat I thought at least would be legit. But, nope, all bullshit.

Like Ip Man 1 had me Rocky levels of hyped, and since it was kind of labeled a semi-documentary of sorts, I was further pumped. And, yeah, no... It's all bullshit I guess.

I know. That's why I said further pumped when I realized Ip man was supposed to be a semi-documentary.

I'm just trying to gauge where we can shock you. The Office is fake too.

Yeah, so me looking up Ip Man led me to the Chinese MMA boxer calling them all out as frauds and demolishing them in the ring in like 30 seconds. Which, brought me to the realization, that Kung Fu Masters and shit don't even fight in any way like they do in Ip Man. Like, it is just like a regular old dude on the street fighting. It was mind numbing how depressing of a realization that was. I at least thought they would be blocking punchs left and right and making quick jabs and shit that was all speed based.

Well, the topic despite the over and over trolling going on is that Ip Man is like a renowned legend in China.

And, from everything I can figure out based on looking into it, he is basically a fraud. He got his ass beat a few times in fights in a few moves and was nothing special from what I can see. His popularity mostly just came because he was the master for Bruce Lee. And not much else from what I can see.

Mostly all of the Kung Fu masters are frauds.

It is disappointing.

Yes, they're frauds of a sort. It's not that Ip Man wasn't one of the greatest of his art. He is a legend, at Wing Chun. In a street fight, he's got nothing. It's more hype than reality, but it still looks cool.

I am talking about the person in real life. Not the movies really.

The Tyson angle in number 3 was really weird. It just... Ended. Lol

Oh it looks cool as hell. I wish it just had some actual application. I thought they at least could hold their own in a real fight tho. = /

Fighting in Kung Fu movies is just dancing marketed toward men. I wouldn't take many dancers in an MMA fight

I think most schools are honest about it being more a form of discipline and patience than it actually being a way to defend yourself

Go learn krav maga if you want to beat some ass
