Why can't I see traditional martial arts on UFC?

What is UFC? I don't need to say anything. After more than ten years of unremitting concept indoctrination by domestic MMA promoters, UFC has become a well-known brand in the field of martial arts fighting in China today, and even many audiences who have not been in deep contact with martial arts fighting often regard it as? Ta, why don't you call UFC? ? Compare and judge the strength of a boxer or a boxing method. In fact, in the eyes of global mixed martial arts athletes, UFC is indeed a temple-level event. In recent years, the influence of UFC in the world has greatly surpassed the momentum of the four major boxing organizations. No wonder capital tycoons Rainbow Jianlin and Li Ruigang also extended an olive branch to UFC. Given? Ta, why don't you call UFC? ? This emerging topic has become increasingly hot in recent years. Today, I would like to talk to you about some objective factors of the relationship between China Wushu and UFC. ?

Let me tell you about the relationship between UFC and Bruce Lee:

Bruce Lee, an iconic figure with unprecedented influence in the world of fighting, is an advocate of comprehensive fighting. UFC is a fighting event that only appeared on 1993. Bruce Lee's concept of comprehensive fighting is at least 20 years earlier than UFC. UFC officials have also publicly stated that Bruce Lee is the father of mixed martial arts.

Bruce Lee not only has an unshakable position in China, but also has countless fans in the world. I think the reason why he is respected by many famous fighters and martial arts lovers today is that his martial arts fighting concept is unique and advanced, which has played an unprecedented role in guiding and promoting the integration and development of martial arts fighting. During the filming of enter the dragon on 1973, there was a scene where Bruce Lee was fighting Sammo Hung with his finger gloves. This can be said to provide a direct reference for the later rule improvement of UFC. It can be said that UFC is an inheritance and development of Bruce Lee's unrestricted fighting thought, and it is also a form innovation based on the concept of comprehensive fighting. I believe that if Bruce Lee lived for another twenty or thirty years, he would be the pioneer of the mixed martial arts competition.

Let's talk about why China people seldom play UFC:

First, strictly speaking, Bruce Lee is from China, not China. It is precisely because he was born in a free and open space in the United States that he can make his thinking divergent and dare to think and do. If he was born in the mainland, I believe he can't be a legend. When he filmed enter the dragon, who was China? The Cultural Revolution? A period in full swing. At that time, martial arts was forbidden, let alone martial arts fighting competitions. It was not until the 1980s that Wushu slowly regained its vitality among the people. However, all traditional cultures, including traditional Wushu, have been seriously damaged.

Second, UFC appears in 1993. At that time, there were only Sanda competitions and invitational competitions within the system in China, and it was not until 2000 that it could be standardized? Training? what's up China Wushu Sanda King Championship? . Note that the Sanda competition, which is valued by the government and can directly participate in fighting confrontation, has developed so weakly, not to mention the traditional folk boxing that is almost forgotten.

Third, Confucianism in China can be said to be? Wude? For example, the main components of? Falling to the ground is defeat? 、? Poor is not suitable for chasing? And other concepts, leading to the early setting of Sanda competition rules, gave up capture.

Fourth, traditional folk boxing generally lacks relevant training, basically only? Eagle claw skill? 、? Drunk eight immortals? 、? Dog boxing? 、? Chinese wrestling? China and other traditional martial arts have certain skills of grasping and attacking the ground. The first three are almost gone, let alone those who can play UFC.

Fifthly, UFC athletes' comprehensive strength in kicking and falling is balanced, while China athletes' kicking and falling skills are not bad, but their grasping and falling skills are relatively lacking. In recent years, the overall level has improved, but there is still a big gap compared with the international top level.

Sixth, the information receiving channel is too narrow. Although UFC was born in 1993, the name of this event was gradually known by Chinese people after 2000. I consider myself one of the first people to contact with commercial fighting events in China and one of the early participants. I also learned about this incident through the internet in 2000. What is the early stage? Hero list? After paving the way for the concept of MMA movement, with the continuous warming of MMA concept after 20 10, UFC is gradually known by Chinese people.

Seventh, in fact, going abroad to participate in competitions is not so easy, even quite difficult. First of all, you need an invitation letter from the contestants, otherwise you won't get a visa. What about the competition? Before 2000, visa processing was even more difficult. UFC doesn't know who has the ability to participate in the competition in China, but most of the domestic martial arts circles have never even heard of UFC, and the two sides have no channels for initial contact. How to fight?

I want to sum up what I said above, and you will probably understand why there are so few people playing UFC in China.
