We have a very cool match that has a man from Changsha take on our favorite boxing girl Zhang Meili. Let's see if the toughness of Changsha can help our man defeat Zhang Meili. Also, did you think the last part of the video was a little sus? Not only was there a jump cut, but the kick also didn't seem hard enough. Leave your comments below. How would you take on Meili or this Changsha guy?

We have a very cool match that is another case study of whether skill can beat raw power. The streetfighter girl looks to have both a size and weight class advantage, but Zhang Meili obviously has training. Let's look at this classic case study. Also, even though I called her Dongbei Jie, she calls herself Zhang Piao Liang to mess with Zhang Meili. For those of you who know Mandarin, Piao Liang and Meili are synonyms.

Some of the best wing chun we've seen, but performed by a Wrestler and a Jiu Jitsu person in a hybrid rules mma match? Well, if you really think about it, it kind of makes sense. The theoretical application of wing chun is in the handfighting, trapping, clinching range. What are grapplers good at? Handfighting, trapping, and clinching. So it would make sense to see what looks like "wing chun striking" performed by a wrestler and jiu jitsu person trying to strike each other to go into grappling. Let us know what you saw in this epic match!

This is a classic from the Man Up Stand Up days. This is the only match Cavali lost during the MUSU tournaments because he had an asthma attack. Despite this unfortunate ending to the match, this match featured amazing kungfu moves. Let's watch and appreciate the two (Jerry from Snow Tiger Kungfu and Cavali from San Bao) take on each other and throw so many different unorthodox kicks and strikes. Make sure to follow both Cavali and Novell (Black Taoist). Let us know what kungfu moves you saw in this!

We have one of viewer Cavali's best matches from the Man Up Stand Up days. Cavali at the time was doing San Bao Kungfu and had done Karate prior. Let's see how Cavali applies his Kungfu, and we also see gaps in his fightgame that got plugged after Cavali started doing Muay Thai after the MUSU days. Lorenzo was the opponent, and he did his interpretation of JKD (even attempting to incorporate Cavali's spin kicks mid-match). Let's watch and see what great combos we can pick up from Cavail's kungfu game! Shoutout Black Taoist for putting this on, and shoutout Sifu Phillip Redmond for the footage!

We have an amazing team 4 v 4 kickboxing match from the awesome Thermopylae, event two! Yes, they are BACK! In this match, the lengthy guy from team grey is quite the ringer. Let's watch how he wins three separate kickboxing matches before stepping out to let his teammates have a chance. For those of you who don't know the rules of this match, it's 1 v 1, but you have three other members of each team that can substitute in once a current person in the ring either quits or gets forced to quit. The ring is shaped in a long rectangle to keep the action going and to mimic how the Spartans and their Greek allies had to hold a narrow pass as a team. Very great design for a very unique sport! Hope you enjoy my commentary and MAKE SURE TO FINISH WATCHING THE MATCH on the official channel!

We have the epic rematch between Karate Kickboxer Pete Sugarfoot Cunningham and Thai Kickboxer Sagat Petchyindee (aka Sakad Petchyundee). Let's see how Pete turns this match into an advanced study on how to frustrate a Muay Thai practitioner with quick kicks to the face (and fast boxing combos). This is such a great case study in not just kickboxing tactics but also how Karate can be used effectively in the ring! Leave your comments and let us know what martial arts lessons you learned!

Ludwig is quickly becoming my favorite event organizer for unique sports that involve martial arts! This one is a combination of Super Smash Brothers and boxing. We have two very high level Smash players alternative between Smash games and boxing. This type of video game and boxing combination will most definitely take off.

Yes, the rule against knees continues in another match that pitted Kungfu against Muay Thai. In this one, a self-proclaimed kungfu master challenges a Muay Thai guy. And then one knee gets him to quit. I provide some context from my own kungfu training to attempt to remember if we trained knees. For those of you familiar with different systems of kungfu, let us know what you think and whether you trained knees or not. Shoutout viewer Cavali and high school Muay Thai friend Ken. I really appreciate all the awesome conversations these recent events in the martial arts world have elicited!

We have a recent match from Long Hu Men Lao Si, a very formidable Kungfu master. He takes on a Muay Thai man from the Superman Muay Thai school. However, there seems to be a disagreement about how many knees are allowed in clinch. Let's see what happens and how this Kungfu Master handles the misunderstanding. Let us know what you think. Did the Muay Thai side disregard the rules or did Kungfu Master misremember? Or was it just an excuse. Leave your comments and we'll talk more martial arts! Also, how does this compare to the Buakaw vs Yanlong match?

The earliest video footage yet that I have found of Sanda. There is an amazing playlist on YouTube that I found that has lots and lots of footage from this Wushu/Sanda event in 1986.

Let's see how Buakaw dials it up in the second round and completely dismantles the sanda opponent. This is an absolutely epic match in the Muay Thai contemporary history!
