Well the boxers weren't too high level either (that second one seemed to only have a couple of months of training).
Muay Thai is brutal, seen a couple of matches way back.
Very hardcore man.
What is your opinion on Kung Fu?
Is it as practical as Karate?

Its all relative.
The Martial Arts is all mixed up today. Everything is pretty much a hybrid style that has developed to counter the strong points of other styles and to factor in the revolution of modern grappling.
As far as traditional kung fu vs traditional Karate. Kung Fu wins out by far imo. Much more developed and intricate fighting system compared to the rigid and heavy hitting traditional Karate system. Japanese had to ban the practice of Kung Fu during the Japanese occupations of China because their Karate was inferior at the time.

I prefer Karate over Kung Fu; less wasted motion, and better range on attack.
The Karate fighter clearly knows what he's doing with relaxed hands which means faster hands on offense and defense.
No style is more superior than the next.
The only thing that matters is who connects first.

Muay thai is where its at. That boxer would have had both his legs broken trying that on someone who practices muay thai.

A good book on the Nanking massacre is the The Rape of Nanking by Iris Chang. It's all about how Japan invaded china. I read it, and it was pretty crazy. They also had really graphic pictures in there that I could not stomach to look at.Originally Posted by abeautifulhaze

Also, you could even look at that movie about Bruce Lee's master, Ip Man. Has some crazy fighting scenes. such as:

i completely agree with the first part. but boxing? boxing is a terrible strike art for a real fight. muay thai or savete > boxing. jiu jitsu, judo, and wrestling definately have their uses also.
