🧵 Western boxing is an internal kung fu style

You will hate this but it's true. Especially pugilism and early modern boxing until the 1950s or so.
>Weightlifting is frowned upon, instead you need to develop a special kind of explosive force with obscure exercises
>Emphasis on attacking the internal organs instead of breaking bones
>Development of full body power
>Claims that the practice is very healthy but will ruin your health if you overdo it or train wrong
>Secret knowledge passed down among teachers
>A boxer should be able to beat up much bigger, stronger men
>Concept of using skeletal structure instead of athletic muscular force (power line a la Dempsey or Monstery)
>Emphasis on relaxation instead of tension
>Yielding is called rolling with the punches
>Emphasis on solo work for gaining correct techniqe (Shadow boxing)
>Mostly about Dim Mak (Hitting vital points like jaw, temple, solar plexus, liver, heart...)

Today, "kung fu" implies an Asian "martial art" that exists despite not actually live sparring to verify the effectiveness of technique. Western boxing is the exact opposite.
TLDR: Kung Fu is Chinese garbage and inferior to western boxing, Muay Thai, and even kick boxing.

Good stance, snap punches. Translations are often ass, on several points. Once you understand how many pre communism chinks liked to say very literal things in very overly prosey ways, you'll get a real appreciation for just how badly they fucked themselves in the long run. It's like an entire literary school was based around the Jap beat poet impromtu haiku shit.

Kung Fu does not imply Martial Art or Asian origin, its a term in Chinese meaning Great Skill. "In its original meaning, kung fu can refer to any discipline or skill achieved through hard work and practice, not necessarily martial arts" Straight from Wikpedia.
Gong Fu is what Kung Fu is called in Chinese, what you might mean is Kenpo (拳法 Fist-Law) or Karate (Empty Hand 空手) ultimately from the same origin of Chinese Hand/Karate: 唐手 (Tang dynasty hand) (Chinese Boxing basically.)

The reason was to hide the techniques from outsiders most likely, they were closed schools that practiced in secret or during night time so nobody else could learn their art. This happened to a Taichiquan school one time and the result? Yang style Taichi was formed after he demonstrated the applications well enough after being caught spying on their lessons.

I bet it was the cultural revolution, but indirectly. The usual narrative is that the CCP singled out martial artists specifically, but there is little evidence for this. Especially because Mao actually liked kung fu. What the CCP did do is pulverize the traditional Chinese institutions that placed supreme importance on familiarity with classical Chinese. Writing everything in an extremely flowery and poetic fashion was the sign of a scholar. Conversely, post-revolution it was the sign of a reactionary. Literacy changed to the straight to the point Marxist style and the resulting interpretations of martial arts manuals were overly literal and stupid. Kung fu was probably impractical in many ways, but with some decent fundamentals. Now it's impractical in every way with bad fundamentals. And we have simplified characters to blame.

That's literally any form of physical exercise or technique ever
Fuck, not even physical

There's a small Wing Chun school in the building I work at and those guys go to town on each other (no homo) for like 30 minutes 3 times a week.

This is a bait thread, but I will say that boxing has a fair degree of garbage training and superstition. Kung fu is garbage but people who think boxing or western martial arts in general are 100% scientific are kidding themselves.

Timing, in a fighting context, isn't rhythm. Rhythm is bad if anything, that's called being predictable. Timing is actually capitalizing on your opponent's predictability and hitting them in brief, vulnerable moments. A speedbag won't help you with that skill.
Best use-case I've seen argued is that it helps strengthen the muscles used to keep your hands up. The first thing to prune from training though if you have to. They are fun to get good at too. That's something.

Yup this it helps you roll your fists longer/train your shoulders to not tire out and faster jabs, double end/Reflex bag is better for the type of training you are looking for.
