This first one is not so exciting. Seems like they are rather new to fighting, but what do I know.

This one finishes the fight from the first clip, then starts another fight. There's a nice throw about 3/4 of the way through.

some highlights

I like to see 'grandmasters' going at it...

Shane,

what a great find.

even after seeing this some will still tell stories about these "grandmasters" who would destroy today's MMA fighters.

You find a short description about this fight in Comprehensive Asian Figthing Arts, page 28. The figthers are supposed to be "masters", the guy with a moustache is a practitioner of Wu style Taichi and the younger guy is White Crane, wrestling and western boxing, knowing this makes even more painful to watch these guys bitch slapping each other; there are bad and good instructors in every art, here is another example of the former.

those guys were old, and if you watched, they did display some good entry techniques... but id say the guys in the lei tai clips were closer to "master" level maybe because they were younger and more mobile...

The guys in Shane's clip were supposed to be master level representitives of their styles.

The guys in the Leitai clips were amatures, I think they showed some good technique.

As far as I know the guys in Shane's clip, as you call it, were NOT masters.


that clip has been floating around the internet for at least 5 years, and has been discussed, researched and debated to a fare-thee-well.

It was, IIRC, a publicity match, with restricted rules, and no where near a leitai match.

This is a fun one

When I first saw it, I thought the kungfu guy was gonna get his ass handed to him. lol
