ANALYSIS OF TECHNIQUES USED AGAINST BOXERS
James executes a series of attacks so skillfully that his opponent has no chance even to defend himself
This series discloses an important aspect of kungfu training not normally found in most other kungfu schools, namely technique analysis. Course participants give reasons for the choice of their techniques and tactics, followed by comments from fellow participants.
As a bonus, the video clips here also give an idea to kungfu practitioners not familiar with kungfu combat application, how kungfu patterns can be used for combat. Many kungfu forms may appear decorative, but their functional beauty comes alive when matched with an opponent's movements.
These video clips show some effective tactics and techniques kungfu practitioners can use against Boxers. But this does not necessarily means that by applying them you will surely beat a Boxer, because other factors besides tactics and techniques are also involved. Nevertheless, if all other factors were equal, using these tactics and techniques, rather than bouncing about or using free-style fighting, will give you a far better chance of handling a Boxer effectively. It is also more rewarding. It will, for example, make your kungfu training meaningful, and is less likely to result in injury.

Triple Attacks against a Boxer
Wei Joo uses a series of three attacks against a Boxer. After kicking the Boxer, irrespective of whether the kick connects, Wei Joo follows up immediately with a left palm strike and right palm thrust.
The Tactic of Pressing Attacks
The common factor in Alex' and Wei Joo's effective application against a Boxer is their pressing attacks. They press into an opponent, while ensure their own safety, without allowing him a chance to counter-attack.
Exploiting an Advantage Gained
Exploiting the advantage gained from striking a Boxer, Peter follows with a kick and a chin-na (grip) to defeat the Boxer. There are no techniques in Boxing to release a grip as gripping is not allowed in this sport.
Throwing a Boxer onto the Ground
Taking advantage of a strike and a kick, Max throws a Boxer onto the ground before he may realize what has happened. Max must, of course, has prepared himself well for this attack sequence.
Attacking a Boxer's Weak Points
Andy excellently applies the principle of attacking a Boxer's weak points. He initiates with two continuous kicks, then finishes him off with two long punches. Boxers are not trained to defend against kicks, and their jabs are normally shorter than a kungfu long punch.
Understanding and Application of Tactics
Hwan King's sequence demonstrates his clear understanding and smart application of good tactics against Boxers. Creating an opportunity from a Boxer's jab, Hwan King closes him and strikes his ribs, and clinches victory by breaking his ribs with a whirlwind kick, and finishing him off with a deadly chop on his neck. If the Boxer covers himself to defend against the whirlwind kick, which is likely to do, he falls into Hwan King's strategy by exposing his neck to be chopped.
Creating Advantage and Exploiting it to Clinch Victory
Padraig opens a Boxer's defence and strikes him with continuous punches. This is implementing the principles of creating an advantage and of exploiting an advantage to clinch victory.
The Tactic of Continuous Cannons
Roeland's tactic is simple but is very effective if applied skillfully. It is known as “Continuous Cannons”, and was used by many masters in the past.
A Long Sequence of Many Attacks
Here James executes a long attack sequence of many patterns when his opponent makes only one moves. What does this mean, and can this be possible?
Successful Application requires Planning and Practice
James executes his sequence of attacks so well that his opponent has no chance even to defend. It is possible if James has planned and practiced his sequence well.
