Shaolin Kungfu vs Western Boxing

Click picture to view video.

Scoop: Shaolin monk Shi Dejian sparring with a Chinese

state boxing champion. Though this video is a
compilation of Shi Dejian related clips, the spar itself
starts at 1:15 and last a few seconds only but, it one of
the most instructive clips of how a Shaolin exponent
might handle a boxer where others have just vaguely
eluded to this.

Of interest is how Shi Dejian makes use of what might

look like contemporary fighting techniques: the bob and
weave, and ending the fight with a classic MMA takedown
(the clip ends with a suggestion of this). Perhaps viewers
might think he IS using modern MMA techniques.

Perhaps not. Here's what Northern Shaolin Grandmaster

Cai Longyun has to say about the three secrets to
fighting, as handed down through his family:

Bu Zhao Bu Jia (No incursions, no blocks)

When your opponent punches at you, don't use
your hand or elbow to block because the block will delay your counterattack. If the smallest moment is lost, it will give your
opponent time to recover and attack you again. You should move and duck to avoid the punch as you simultaneously
counterattack.

Zhe Rou Fen Qiang (Don't duck too early).

Duck at the split second when your opponent's fist is almost touching your flesh. In this way, your opponent's punch is fully
delivered. He thinks he's got you and has no opportunity to redirect his energy.

Tie Shen Kao Da (Strike by sticking to your opponent's body)

Stick close to your opponent's body, eliminating the space between you and your opponent which can jam your opponent's strike.
When your opponent moves backward to make room to attack, you seize the opportunity and attack first.

In the short sparring section, Shi Dejian amply shows how all three strategies are used against a Western Boxer.
