We have guys coming to our club in combat gear claiming to be invincible until you politely RNC them. Its not their fault - they simply didn't realise that they needed to supplement the striking with some grappling

Originally posted by WildWest. View PostEach to his own a guess, but to me leading with a side kick is asking for trouble....a front kick is one thing but a side kick, to me, leaves the leg vulnerable to getting caught and can put you in a bad position body wise. Maybe others make it work, and good on them, but not for me.
You throw a jab or a straight and your opponent slips outside; if you're quick you can fire up a side kick.
You miss a thai kick to your opponents leg and he tries to close; chamber up that side kick aim it at the solar plexus and he'll run into it.
Your opponent winds up a big right hand (or left); you lean back to avoid the shot and are in a natural position to fire it at an upward angle into the rib cage.

Originally posted by sapatiero View PostSure its for real - it happens less nowadays, but there are still plenty of martial artists out there who believe that their art is all they need to beat anyone, and never consider that they could taken to the ground. When they get there they have no idea what to do.

Originally posted by OmaPlata View Postactually, royce leads with a front kick, and it worked very effectively for him over the years. This guy was fighting barbarians in the early UFCs, there wre no rules except biting and eye guaging, which left open a whole range of attacks. and royce still won

Nice picture of Kaoklai KOing Mighty Mo. 2004 World K1 finals I believe. That was one of the best KO's I've ever seen, the little Thai and the huge and powerful Samoan/American. One of the guys in our MT club fought Kaoklai last year, he reckoned he would have to be, for his weight, one of the best stand up fighters in the world. He fought him under K1 rules and lost on points.
