What happen to big john in ufc 66?
I have no idea if it is effective or not, i do know that the applied techniques can be powerful when used it's just the fact of actually using them, i mean using long fist kung fu in a fight here in north america would not be a very good idea, and it is not an american made up fu, it is just an extrelmely flashy style of kung fu with lots of high kicks and such. Long range attacks, it's really cool i would like to learn it just for the hell of it, not for solid self defence training of course, i read a bit about it on wikipedia, that is an amazing website.Has the fight card for UFC 68 been finalized yet?

im not familiar with this style of kung fu but just to say ju jitsu is generally one of the most effective martial arts for street situations as it deals with grappling, ground attacks and striking moves which can be applied better in real life situations and have maximal effect. it also tends to be pretty hardcore and is an offshoot of ninjitsu.Is it, The Natural Randy Couture or Randy The Natural Couture?

I know exactly which art you're talking about. Long fist is what we all see in martial arts movies--the acrobatic movements that are fun to watch. The answer to your question is: no. It is not effective. Even Lian Jie, or Jet Li as we call him, will tell you it is the non-sparring form of martial arts. It is excellent for choreographed fight scenes, but not in the least for real-life scenarios. A butterfly kick, for example, is bad; the first time you hit something solid with that kick, you'll face-plant.Where is the top wushu school in shanghai ?
it depends what you have in your long fist and how hard your pulling it.and the person that does a style of kung fu that apparently knows everything (she knows who she is) how much street experience did you say you had?how many fights outside the dojo?
it's as effective as any other Martial Art is if you put enough time and effort in your training.
it comes down to how effective the PERSON is when using the discipline's techniques and not the discipline itself.
