Proves nothing.  The karate-ka and the Kung Fu guys are just a small (and a not very representative) sample of their respective arts.  I thought the fights were just awful.  Drunken Boxer style (Kung Fu) always has the look about it of someone just begging to be put down.  However, I have seen exponents of this style do far better in much more realistic kumite - but then I could say the same for the karate-ka in this clip. 

None of these would last 10 seconds against Shane  Very Happy

Does anyone know of any better clips, I agree the Kung Fu did look awful.

Yep, have seen this one before, probabally from a post here I guess.

I enjoyed this clip, pity the quality was so poor, and a short clip.

tai kwon do means the punching and kicking way and karate means empty handed, sort of the same but different, and if you say korean and japanese are the same they won't be happy
