It makes you rely on speed and there is something to be said about 4 or 5 years of learning to effectively block an attack. I'm a little guy and considerably fast for my age, I ve been in a couple of scraps and I'm a firm believer that speed is better than power. It's most likely because of my size or lack of it that this is my opinion, but we should all train to our strengths.
Thanks for the clip it was great.
What nonsense. Of course it is good not to be hit, but these guys cannot hit anything neither! WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY COME UP AGAINST AN AVERAGE WESTERN BOXER WHO, BELEIEVE ME, WILL BE ABLE TO HIT THEM!

Its like watching two gunmen who cannot hit anything they aim at, yet they look fancy so you say "see how effective they are, they haven't been hit".

Tameo, I have been in a great many fights. I hit, and I got hit. But I do admit that I cannot leap about like a cartoon Jackie Chan.

By the way, you still haven't apologised to me for telling us all how great Cheungy is, and then totally changing your mind......
