50 kicks to the leg? Why would someone be so foolish to allow oneself that luxury? the point is to win with the least amount of energy with the most devastating effect. The kicking game's most negative by product is it tightens you up instead of being relaxed. In K-1 there are KO's scored by punches which don't have leverage behind it yet the fighter's go down.
The major difference in boxing against Asian MA is:
1) There are no masters, senseis, gurus that impart "secrets" to it's students.
2) If a technique is wrong it is immediately discarded. A scientific approach is used. Boxing is the sweet science. No mysterious secrets, just plain effective results
3)If you notice boxers fight in silent films era, they are straight up and hold their heads back. A kickboxer will have his chances at winning against these fighters. This style was deemed innefective and was discarded. By the time Joe Louis came along the modern boxer as we know it today came to fruition.
Karate, MT, TKD- they follow what is passed down from the Master/Guru without questioning if methods actually work. Duh, I mean, the student, the paying student just swallows it all out of
respect to Mr. Master!
