The Ultimate in Martial Arts

Boxing Master · 05-09-2004, 05:45 PM

I like to see exceptional hand and upper body strikes myself. Kicks are powerful and beautiful to look at, but an exceptional puncher and/or upper body striker tends to get off more shots than does a kicker, and can have a higher KO percentage.

Grappling is an essential skill in the MMA field, but unless you really know what the techniques are, it may appear odd and/or boring to viewers.

The goal is to be versatile, but in terms of enjoyment, what would you like to see most.

I like a fight where the fighters are working everything... the strikes, the takedowns, the ground and pound, the submission... I especially like it when the transitions to strikes, to takedowns, to position are smooth. I like real technical ground fighting... and moving from position to position. Not just hugging your opponent from the mount through the whole fight occasionally throwing some punches... I also like the takedowns and throws. But then again I like the striking too...

As long as the fighters are giving it there all it will be exciting, wether there striking grappling or whatever. I just want to see people give it there all.
