Considering that weight classes aren't really factored in too much at my school, my style changes a little depending on my opponent, but I can say overall that my game is more "sting like a bee" and not enough "float like a butterfly". I think most people weighing 210 or 215 are going to be like that. Against smaller opponents that tend to dodge more than shield and weave around a lot, I usually try to take it to the plumb and will be more than willing to stay at punching/knee range. Against my size and larger, I tend to try to keep it to kicks since I'm decent with thai kicks and teeps - also probably because of someone who outmuscled me kept landing straight rights one day and there was nothing I could do about it, so I'm hesitant to go inside against the bigger guys. It seems my instrutor is working with me on speed a lot lately with focus mitt drills. I don't have much experience outside of my school. A few karate-ka have come in to join/try out the club and I didn't have any problems or get particularly thrown by sidekicks or backfists - thai boxing generally has a tight defense. Anyway, like I said before, I still need at least 2 years more hard work before I would feel anywhere near ready for the ring - both physically and mentally, and even then may not be ready...ring or not, I'll keep training hard for da love of da game
