Are there any Chinese styles that deal with ground work? Styles like jui jitsu.
Thanks.
Monkey Boxing (Hou Quan) has some ground work, Drunk Boxing (Zui Quan) has some ground work and traditional Chinese Wrestling has some sumbissions (now illegal in competition) among others, but nothing close to the scope or level of sophistication of Ju jitsu, Judo or the Western wrestling styles.
Also dog (earth dragon) boxing, and emei snake boxing have quite a lot of ground fighting, chi na on the ground punches and kicks from the ground to standing opponents and to grounded opponents.
sloth boxing has the most ground grappling techniques.
but they take a long time to learn.
the only part of sloth boxing I was ever able to achive was the pungant odor.
30 minutes to do a thrust kick made me quit.
What's sloth boxing? Is that an actual style?
Only if your a sloth.
Yes, Sloth Boxing is an actually style. The Grandmaster of Sloth Boxing moved from Taiwan to Southern California about 12 years ago and he has "slowly" developed quite a following.
This must be the three toed system. It may have originated from South America.
Actually, a sloth could probably still rip any human apart... Don't try grappling with one of them...
It's actually the Slow Lorus System. Sloth Boxing is the generic term. There's actually another Sloth Boxing guy. He studied under the Slow Lorus System.
The two toed version from Brazil. They always seem to come up with great names for thier systems.
As direct inheritor of Shou Ta Chuan I must warn you that Sloth Boxing takes years to develope. Smell is a good start, but extreme laziness must also be cultivated. Americans are lazy, Sloth Boxers are orders of magnitude more so. This is the hardest concept for the new practitioner. They say "Hey, I'm really lazy! What am I doing wrong?" and I say "You are lazy too fast. Come back in 10 years, try again."
In a fight with the slow lorus guy I always loose. That is the nature of Sloth Boxing. When I'm 75 I'm gonna kick that guys @ss!
