Actually, they're throwing punches just like what the mma stuff is morphing

WTF?

Yeah; sorry to confuse you.

It's a matter of trying to throw punches at a distance wherein one can be
caught by a kick.
No. In MMA it is a matter of trying to throw punches outside of the
distance wherein one can be caught in the clinch or by a takedown.

No- that's the reason that traditional boxing punches don't work.
It's first defined by kicking range, through punching range, and then into
clinch/takedown range.

......In
the case of the kung fu 'masters' it seems to be a matter of staying
outside of the range where one can be engaged in battle period.

Yeah; we can trust your good eyenot.

Chas.....really...you're defending the indefensible. On any level, by any
measure, what is shown on this clip is laughable.

I don't disagree with you re ranges, but within the context of punching range,
boxing is far and away the art that teaches the most effective techniques.

There is not a single straight punch thrown in this debacle, and I stand by my
comment that any halfway decent boxer would have KO'd either of these guys very
quickly.

As there were no kicks attempted, we have nothing to say regarding their kicking
skills, and invoking that as some sort of mitigating factor doesn't add up.
