Martial arts enthusiasts have always been captivated by the idea of mixed-style combat, especially after witnessing showdowns like Kung Fu versus Karate. This time, the spotlight is on the clash between Shaolin and Muay Thai fighters.

In the first match, Shaolin monk Yong faced off against one of Thailand’s strongest Muay Thai fighters, Saak Puman Muang. The highly anticipated duel, held under the Wulin Fun banner, ended swiftly and decisively. Saak managed to knock Yong down with a powerful kick to the head followed by a devastating right hook, securing a knockout victory in the first round.

Yong had previously gained attention after controversial fights with Muay Thai fighter Buka Bimek. Their encounters sparked debates among fans about the outcome of a fight between Muay Thai and Kung Fu. Although Buka emerged victorious in their first match, Yong avenged his loss in a rematch the following year, winning by unanimous decision.

Another epic showdown took place between Shaolin fighter Chil Laa and Muay Thai trainer Ronin. Despite Ronin’s strength and aggressiveness, Chil Laa showcased remarkable Shaolin techniques, ultimately winning the match by the judges’ decision.

In a notable fight between Yong and Muay Thai fighter Sakku, tensions ran high as both fighters displayed relentless aggression. The match ended with Muay Thai emerging victorious, once again highlighting the dominance of Muay Thai over Shaolin in these encounters.

However, Yong proved to be a formidable opponent when facing American Muay Thai fighter Adrian Grot, despite battling a high fever. Impressively, Yong secured a knockout victory in the first round, showcasing his resilience and skill.

Finally, the heated duel between Yong and Muay Thai kickboxing champion Cai Sitong Pong ended in disappointment for the Shaolin monk. Despite a year of preparation, Yong was defeated by Cai through a series of powerful kicks, highlighting the formidable skill of Muay Thai fighters.

Overall, while Shaolin fighters have shown prowess in mixed-style combat, Muay Thai has often emerged as the dominant style in these matchups.

Kung Fu shenanigans return this week, kids. Rejoice, or something. I dunno. We’re coming in hot to a stellar PPV weekend to be followed by a string of some pretty wild events. So naturally, we’re keeping the coffee warm and the lights on over here to give you your fix until the organized fisticuffs actually transpire.

And if you have any questions regarding either Kung Fu or why Betamax was the superior format, or even who the best guest character in Tekken is, remember we’re still open at [email protected]. Substack users get priority, so please include your handle. Now, let’s get to this week’s goofy action.

Kung Fu challenge goes horizontal

We’re back to the Kung Fu well, kids. You know the song and dance. Some guy brings his Kung Fu expertise, challenges a guy in another discipline, and things get hairy in a hurry. This time, it’s a showdown in Guangzhou with a lively crowd and a shoddy ring.

And of course, it’s all courtesy of our guy Jerry over at Fight Commentary Breakdowns. He’s always bringing the premium content out of Asia when it comes to the unconventional. And we love him for that.

Now look, I gotta be frank — this is one of my favorite kinds of setups. Look at this ring. Ropes are sagging, canvas looks worn and there seems to be a pronounced dip. this is precisely the kind of ambience I love for smokers and weirdo fights primed for disaster. It’s also the kind of thing you’d expect in a modern Kung Fu movie. It’s shady and seedy, just the right amount of bush league. It just has… character? One look at the thumbnail and I was immediately intrigued.


This video is simple. A kickboxer vs a Kung Fu practitioner. I neither know the rank or experience level of either guy, but we’re gonna play a quick little game. Let’s see if you can guess who is the kickboxer and who is the Kung Fu practitioner.

Look at that form, baby. We’re cooking with some real beef tallow now. The Kung Fu guy in blue shorts follows this up with some forearm clubbing that’s as sloppy as eating coleslaw with your fingers. Red shorts backs him up with a slight push and gives him a taste of what real punches are.

They engage again and the Kung Fuy guy just goes back to what he knows and throws more forearms. That’s literally the extent of his offense. Now, it may seem like I’m unfairly picking on the guy here. After all, I don’t really know what the ruleset is here. Maybe elbows and knees aren’t allowed. They’re wearing shoes, so that leads me to believe kicks may not be legal. But if the other guy is punching, you can punch back. I know that much.

I referred to Red Shorts as a kickboxer earlier, and that’s because Jerry refers to him as such in the video with the added caveat that the guy may have Muay Thai experience.

And forearm strikes don’t seem like they’d do the kind of fight-ending damage you’d want in a one-on-one battle like this. Soooooooooo, what gives? My man literally has one trick, and it’s a terrible one at that.

That leads to him eating a left hand that even the ref saw and said “Yeah, you gonna eat that.” That was followed by a right hand that gave him the wake-up call that the left hand should have given him. This isn’t gonna last much longer, kids.

They break again, and Red Shorts throws about 3-4 pawing jabs, loads up and launches a right hand to the body. And the only true shame is that he doesn’t keep going back to that as much as I would.

Then it’s the funniest moment of the fight for me, where he just stops and listens to something someone in the crowd says. There’s no timeout, it’s just a lull there. Like he’s being told the difference between baking powder and baking soda. Fun fact, I just finally learned that recently myself.

Back to the middle of the ring, and the Kung Fu master is channeling the mythical ability of shelling up the way a child would as they pretended they were in a real fight. He promptly gets a sampling of what happens when you just hold down the block button and stand there against a guy that actually has a functional and fully fleshed understanding of what fighting is and can be.

Now it’s more body shots. And why not? They’re free, after all. There’s no Kung Fu retaliation coming, might as well. This is starting to feel like a semi-nude mugging. Wait, what’s that? (Presses earpiece into ear) There’s still something in the tank from the Kung Fu guy? He’s loading up with righteous anger? Let’s cut to that, baby!

I guess this is a bad time to ask “¿Como se dice timber en Chinese?”

Off to dreamland with Kirby and them. Kung Fu guy, we hardly knew ye. Literally.

So I guess whatever Kung Fu style this guy is supposed to represent, it’s just hitting guys with your forearms. You know, I’m always curious as to why so many of these Kung Fu dudes insist on doing challenges with boxing gloves on and then throw some of the most unorthodox and god-awful strikes known to man. Why not bare-handed? Or perhaps just hand wraps?

And I ask this exact question because what I’ve noticed a lot of the time is that the Kung Fu practitioners and “masters” often go on to claim that it’s the gloves that hampered their ability to perform better or something along those lines. Not sure if that’s what happened in the aftermath of this bout, but I wouldn’t be surprised. What won’t surprise me is seeing more of these things happen where guys way out of their depth end up looking for spare change on the canvas like this.
