The Bearded Man said in this vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPa96VA3 ... re=related " those hong kong team of kung fu fighters and each and everyone lose in the first round and they went that screaming for brutal, or what you cannot, thats not a sport and they came about two years ago for revenge match. the same things happens... 10 secs, 15 secs knockout and they just could not understand why thats all their fancy kung fu stuff which has no meaning..."

The bearded guy is right about one thing: experience. To be a good fighter, you need to have fighting experience in order to understand timing, spacing, and pain.
Thai boxing is about hitting a lot and getting hit a lot, but what is the life-expectancy of the thai boxer? Take that style and put it in a society with a higher life expectancy and a higher standard of living, and what happens? The same thing as any other martial art.
It's how someone like me, who has only trained in hung ga and jow ga could beat two of the thai boxers at my school. It's about how you train and how you put that training to use.
