that's what happens when you never examine other styles and only spar within the framework of your own style

yeah, thats a great video.
I've personally trained at the gracie school in cali
It's hard to beat someone who possesses the tools of brazilian jiu-jitsu mixed with Thai Boxing
_99% of fights end up on the ground

This guy is obviously more than just a "pure" kung-fu practitioner. He wouldn't have lasted half as long as he did if he was. He must be learning groundfighting with the Gracies or something. Ken Shamrock didn't even last half as long against Royce as this guy did, and he was a Pancrase champion.

from the video commentary it looked like royce was just toying with the guy.

He probably could have gotten a sub long before he did but instead forced the guy into the worst possible position for a beating

Why do you people constantly knock Kung-Fu?

Relax, and take it with a grain of salt. People will always compare styles.

Don't worry, Kung Fu isn't useless. It's just that everything is useless against Royce Gracie

Is the kung-fu practiotioner in the video Jason DeLucia? He had a fairly successful Pancrase career.

WHAT ? Please explain what "Technique" he did other than Squirm ? hell he GAVE Roye the Single leg for the Takedown ! he wsa a little Stronger from doing Excercises , Ill bet some "Shaolin" (Read "McDojo") "Kung Fu" . He ddnt even use BASIC stances - weather they work or not isnt even the Argument here , HE didnt KNOW them , he ddnt know BASIC defences for Takedowns like Snapdowns , etc . He didnt even know BASIC Qinna (joint Manipulations) - not even to the point of knowing what NOT to do to get Grabbed up . You could CLEARLY see that the guy had never even dont legitemate Push-Hands drilling in is life .

In short , he was a Tomato can , an he gort whupped up on . Whos school was e from ? Nobody's . WHat kind of "Gung-Fu" does he do ? None . In fact the only thing CONNECTING him to ANY MA is the fact that som disembodies Voice SAID so . He didnt look like a First Yea student AYWHERE . He just looks like a gheezer that THOUGHT he could fight till he got his ass handed to him .

Not likely . He had no REAL control of the guy for the RNC , he was still too easily Fighting back , and like you heard , the guy had 15 lbs on Royce (a LOT at that weight class) so it was easier to force him to try to Butt-scoot out the Back door (being a noob you KNEW he wouldnt know the 2 arms in or 2 arms out rule , and he DIDNT) and got Triangled . In FACT you can pretty clearly SEE that royce is Going for the Triange from the time he was in Position for the RNC , knowing quickly that it was the way to get this guy .
