It's a battle of pure hand to hand skill.

Split.

so your asking who more skilled?

Becuase having them fight h2h does not really decide who more skilled, when you have high level chi ampers like them selfs.

Shang Chi, 6/10.

The Master of Kung-Fu ftw!

Danny. Even without chi amping his blows are still powerful enough to put Cage down. He's in another league now.

heres the real question. since this is purely hand to hand; is rand's style of martial arts an internal form or an external form. because a master of internal form will always best one of an external form. if they are both kung fu (cant remember what exactly iron fists form is ><😉, since it is a defensive style, the one who attacks first will most likely lose

And yes, IF uses Kung Fu, but he knows other styles.

internal forms of martial arts > external forms.

in otherwords, forms of martial arts that spend a lot of time conditioning the mind as well as the body (any martial art that has chi at the end) kung fu as well, prepare the user for fighting better than a form thats is more externally focused on just the physical aspects

no, this is irl. pretty fascinating, huh?

Are there any forms of MA that don't condition mind and body?

i seriously doubt it. but different forms have different levels of mind conditioning. take shaolin kung fu. all that crazy stuff they do is done while in an intense state of zen meditation

looked up shang-chi on wikipedia for whatever thats worth. apparently, altho his skill in kung-fu is high he is not mentioned to have knowledge in any other martial arts. so id say this fight would go to danny as knowing more than one martial art is > to knowing just one. and id venture that danny is good enough to pull off a win
