Drunk Kung Fu

[Marurun]

I was having some fun looking for martial arts vids on Google Video and came across this amusing demonstration. You wouldn't wanna mess with this dude during happy hour

That guy is making a mockery of kung Fu.  The drunken form is nothing more than a "warm up" that can be applied to any of the five animal forms: Tiger, Crane, Snake, Panther, and Dragon.  Rarely monkey and wolf.  The moves are purposely exaggerated to help stretch muscles but hold no actual merit in real combat.  Their is no "real" drunken style, this guy looks like he is doing drunken panther warm ups, but his form is so sloppy its hard to tell.

Check out some kung Fu done right.  This guy has a perfect 9 section whip chain attack form.

Wow, he's fast.

The drunk stile is one where you move like drunk to confuse the opponent with random movements. It has been showed in dragon ball, Mortal kombat, animes and some martial arts action movies, including some done in Korea or China, so yes, is a true fighting style.

Shun Di disagrees

haha yes Shun Di was the man, but he was actually drunk, and did more of a snake/crane thing.

It has been showed in dragon ball, Mortal kombat, animes and some martial arts action movies.

Um yeah; no disrespect but if Dragon Ball, Mortal Kombat, and anime are showcaseing true fighting styles  I better start working on my ability to fly and shoot beams of energy out of my hands.

ok I don't want to sound like a jerk but drunken kung fu is defined as:
 
Drunken kung fu
Drunken kung fu is not truly a system for the techniques are not unique to it, only their application. Deception and surprise are used, making it into a sort of elaborate pa kua. (pa kua is an internal system aka practice/ meditation) There are no forms.

I've always considered drunken kung-fu as a mishmash of different styles used to confuse opponents. I've never thought of it as a real fighting discipline.

In fact, I use something similar in arcade games - I act erratically, without a pattern, to confuse opponents and find openings. It's not the same as real life, but I'd consider them, at the very least, to have similar applications.

All i do to karate people is hit them with a bat. no matter how good you are, a baseball bat to the knees/chest will take you down.

Sure anyone hit with a bat enough is gonna go down.  But if they know what they are doing then you couldn't get  a swing off before they disarmed you.  Check out this Hwarangdo (Korean Kung Fu style) master take down multiple attackers with just a scarf.

thats why you hit them while there busy or there back is turned, or shoot them,  no rules in a fight.

Why fight someone anyway when you can challange them to a game of Crossfire.

Yeah, is not real fighting style, is all made up, but is like a legend, so, who cares?.

Next you are to say you don’t need a tail do fight in the monkey style, yeah is true, but is funnier the other way…

Many guns>Any fighting style... One gun<Almost any fighting style

Many guns>Any fighting style... One gun<Almost any fighting style   

That's the truth.  Well put.

If I had a gun, or any other projectile weapon for that matter, all it would take to kill, or at least incapacitate, my enemy is some aiming, a reasonably good distance and at least one bullet (balls optional). I don't care how fast the guy moves. Give a guy a gun and you turn him into Superman.

Dude, have you ever seen an expert martial artist fight? They look pretty much like cats going mad. Trying to aim at something that moves that fast and randomly would be kinda hard if you ask me...
