The Difference Between Jab Punch & Cross Punch

Simple, both punches are same linear straight punch type but they have different range.

Jab/Lead Hand Straight Punch used for long range punch, it has longer reach like this.

Cross/Rear Hand Punch used for short range punch, it has shorter reach but very useful when you can’t launch a Jab Punch.

Same answer with the different between Round Kick and Hook Kick, both kicks are same horizontal swing kick type but their range are different.

Hook Kick/Lead Swing Kick used for long range.

Round Kick/Rear Swing Kick used for close range.

Why Object Breaking Is Useless In Real Fight

Object Breaking/Board Breaking/Brick Breaking/Tameshiwari (whatever they call it, it just same circus-attraction thing) is a show off demonstration where the “Martial Master” destroying the hard object using their “Kung Flu”.

Will it work for real fight? No!!

First, they use cheap and weak materials for their show off circus. If you challenge them to destroying a wall/building/tree with their “Kung Flu”, of course they can’t.

Second, they place the targets on special position so they can break in easier. Like giving a space on every stack of objects and place the object below their hip line so they can swing their strike longer and more powerful.

Third, even if they feel any pain (or their mental reject the pain sensation/lying to themself delusionally after listening their sensei’s delusional teaching), their blood vessel and other internal organs inside their hand won’t lie:

Fourth, this training is waste more money to buy those materials.

Rather than wasting your times-stamina-money to learn useless technique, why you didn’t use your precious time to learn real useful techniques instead? Like Blocking, Trapping or Intercepting?

No wonder why most martial art schools won’t teach this, wasting time and money. Like Bruce Lee and Bolo Yeung said:

Firefighter’s Door Breaking training is totally different. They use different techniques, special equipment and they didn’t hurt their own body.

Why Belly Hardening Is Useless In Real Fight

Belly Hardening is a breathing technique to hardening the fighter’s belly so the opponent’s punch/kick won’t hurt the fighter. The fighter hold the breath and safe the air in the lung/chest, after the belly become hard/deflated then the instructor will punch/kick it.

But will it work in real fight? No!!

First, how long you can hold your breath in real fight before dying? In “Fist Of Legend” movie scene, when master Huo Ting En strike the General Fujita, the general Fujita use Belly Hardening breath to receive all Huo Ting En strikes painlessly then give him some counter strikes, but when Fujita’s breath ran out, Chen Zhen strike him immediately. In real fighting tournaments, no one can use this in real tournaments too.

Second, even if you feel any pain (or your mental reject the pain sensation/lying to yourself delusionally after listening your sensei’s delusional teaching), your blood vessel and other internal organs inside your belly won’t lie: 

Third, your opponent will aim the strikes to various targets like eye, throat, leg or even groin. Not only to your belly.

Fourth, in real street fight your opponent will use this to your belly:

Rather than wasting your times-stamina-money to learn useless technique, why you didn’t use your precious time to learn real useful techniques instead? Like Blocking or Trapping?

No wonder why most martial art schools won’t teach this. Wasting time.

Why Martial Art Totally Different With Military Or Child Soldier Training

*Warning!! Photos in this article are horrifying for sensitive readers!!*

Some “Military Manias” or “Army Idi-ots” are often says: “Military training is very good to build our childrens!!”.

As martial art teacher who also teaches kindergarten kids myself: “I don’t like you!!”.

Why martial art training is not same with military training (and why i don’t like military guys)? The reasons are on their training goal and method.

Martial art training is a lifelong peaceful lifestyle and disciplines for all people, from kids to senior ages. It train our spiritual growth, physical health, respect, and self defense skill to protect ourselves and good people who need our help.

In martial art clubs, we just do normal cardio exercises and self defense basic skill training. No brainwashing to support political ideology propaganda like psychological hazing & hysical bullying here.

See? Both adults and kids are training martial art together with fun and safe without any anger, hatred or fear.

Some traditional martial arts like Nanpai Kungfu (ancient Southern Chinese Kungfu style) were created by military persons, but ancient militaries are totally different with modern military. Ancient military men who also martial art masters like General Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou are working and training together with local villagers and monks on the field and fight together to protect their village from Wokou pirate attack. Both Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou were didn’t want to create mindless soldiers like robot, they want to teach the local people a martial art to defend their village. 

Modern military or Child Soldiers training is a short term unpeace training. The goal is to create loyal soldiers who expert in blade or firearm weapons combat and to make profit for the leader ambitions. Once the leader/commanders think you are weak/old/crippled/useless and no longer able to fight anymore, you will be expelled like a trash.

Modern military training is created to build loyal soldiers who always support the ambitious leader/dictator in modern corrupt era, of course those power hungry leaders will happy if they have strong “Hitmen” who always protect their throne and business. 

To create loyal soldiers who will never say “No” to their ambitious/corrupt leader, 2 brainwashing methods like Bloodthirty Propaganda (teaching those kids a doctrine filled with hatred) or Power Show Off (scare those juniors/recruits using psychological hazing, physical bullying and sexual harrasement) are often used to forcing the young soldiers to be loyal and obeying their seniors/commanders/leader. Lot of death like killed while get beated or raped are also often happens in military training camps.

Those “Hitmen” also very useful to silence/eliminate people who oppose them (no wonder why Army jerks are often abuse weak people, even in their own country. Violence training and power given by the dictator often making their minds become delusional).

Watch their eyes!! Lot of hatred, anger and fear.
