行业英语介绍:功夫英语解析

　　编者按：世界各地有许多不同种类的武术形式，它们有来自中国，美国，英国等国家的功夫，作者带大家一起来看一看这些功夫的英语版具体介绍。

　　Weiwu (China)

　　To be honest, I don't believe traditional kung fu(功夫 gōngfū) such as Taichi and others can beat the mixed martial arts, because the former lacks fighting skills. I support Xu, and hope traditional martial arts can be enhanced and used in a real fight. The real fights do not have any standards, so the competitors can do anything to defeat his rival.

　　Kevan (China)

　　I think it is visually interesting and good exercise. However, for self defense it is pretty poor unless you have trained for years. Military and security organizations teach effective, proven self defense techniques which are quick to learn and efficient. They don't teach kung fu(功夫 gōngfū). Also, if you look at the UFC(终极格斗 zhōngjí gédòu), you won't see much kungfu there either.

　　Michael (US)

　　Unlike a MMA fighter, Taichi is not meant for acutal combat but a means of seeking health and peace through movement.Street fighters often use the overwhelming tactics - be it punches or kicks, to gain the upper hand. I'm curious why a Taichi master would choose to issue such a challenge: surely it goes against the ethics of the art?

　　Jeremy (UK)

　　Most people don't practice tai chi for combat. They seek it for health and spiritual reasons. Also, it takes many, many years of training for the successful application of tai chi. I believe a well trained tai chi practitioner can easily defeat a well trained MMA fighter. Tai chi uses the opponents force against him and they all are pretty aggressive.

　　Rogers (Canada)

　　A big problem with most traditional martial arts is their terribly unrealistic training programs. Most practitioners end up asking themselves, "I wonder if what I am learning would work in real life?" Boxers don't ask this. Muay Thai (泰拳 tàiquán) practitioners don't ask this. Brazilian ju-jitsu(巴西柔术 bāxī róushù) fighters don't ask this. Why not? Because they don't have to. They KNOW what they are learning will work, because they regularly train against actively resisting opponents under highly realistic conditions. This is what MMA fighters frequently call "alive" training. If a martial art isn't built around "alive" training, you might as well be tap-dancing.
