I like all that karate shit but i always wonder why it never works in MMA Fighting... But it is a game in a controlled environment.
I've taken quite a bit of both Karate and Kung Fu back in the day. Use to teach part time. A real street fight ( more like MMA) is different and the guys not coming at you from a certain stance and such. I think it's a matter of practicing the techniques enough, to where they become second nature. In a real fight, some things will work, some won't. A lot depends on the situation, the other persons skills, etc. I've always said, learn all you can, Instead of one style. pick up what you can from any style, even MMA. Then use what you can, and do whatever it takes.
