Why 100 Chain Punches Doesn't Work In Real Fight

First, this technique created for aesthetic purpose, for action movies, for action theatre show or cartoon - video game choreos. Be logic!! Be realistic!!

Second, it powerless and the opponent feel no any pain because without you realizing it, your arm muscles are become limp by their own to produce a rapid continuous chain punches. You can’t do those punches with strong muscles.

Third, the opponent also can countering you with KO strike, you ruin your own defense.

Fourth, it wasting your stamina for nothing. In real street fight you will fight 2-3 other thugs, imagine if you ran out energy after tap-tap-tap-tapping just 1 thug and you ran out energy to fight other thugs or escape. You will be killed!!

In real Kungfu or Boxing fight, 2-3 punches combo is maximum numbers normal human can do in real fight. Even 1 accurate punch is far far better and realistic.

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.

By the way, some martial art techniques are only effective to be executed with just 1 body part. For examples:

- Swing Chop only powerful to be launched with our rear hand, it less powerful if launched with lead hand.

- Back Chop only powerful to be launched with our lead hand, it can’t be launched well with rear hand.

- Uppercut only powerful to be launched with our rear hand, it less powerful if launched with lead hand.

- Backfist only powerful to be launched with our lead hand, it can’t be launched well with rear hand.

- Side Kick only powerful to be launched with our lead leg, it can’t be launched well with rear leg.

- Front Knee only powerful to be launched with our rear leg, it less powerful if launched with lead leg.

There is no 100% perfect martial art technique, there is no 100% fighting style, even legendary martial art masters and world champs are can’t mastering them all. All we have to do is keep training to sharpening our fighting skill and keep learning to expand our knowledge, choose which fighting styles that fit with ourselves then learn and master it well.

“Be Water, My Friend” quote by Bruce Lee is really work. If 1 technique failed then try other technique, if 1 technique didn’t work then try other technique, we must be dynamic like water and keep learning - sharpening our skill.

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.
