punch his feet, that should stop him from kicking you, or atleast make him more wary. you can really push some one off balance if you can land a nice shot straight to the bottom of the heel and it really hurts.

Get on the inside. I whup my Kung-Fu friend by getting on the inside and turning the heat up. A Right uppercut, left hook combo always does him over. KTFO

Ive been boxing for 8 years now and he suggested that we should go all out so that we could see who will have the upper hand (foot)
I had no chance to come even close his legs were just too damaging and the reach advantage was crazy.
Is there any way i could improve in closing the gap so that i could start hitting him with some nice hard shots to the head?
By the way i did 6 year of martial art and about 30 years of boxing, im 42.

Let me speak from personal experience.
Try to weather the storm. The 2-3 kicks he may get off, might hurt but whether the storm and still charge forward. Try to get on the inside as fast as possible. I would say take the peek-a-boo guard and charge right in until you get right against his body. Then do work.
I know exactly how it is.... Because I was in the same situation as you before but I was the taekwondo guy.
Oh yeah. Don't listen to any punch the feet bull**** and there is no such thing as a 'kung fu' style.Last edited by F l i c k e r; 07-17-2010, 01:02 AM.

If when he goes for kicks he's in hitting range try to time him with a right hand, or just come in with jabs and finish with hooks, straight, uppercut, whatever. Thats from a boxing stand point from a boxing stand point which I use all the time against my one good friend who is a black belt in karate and has some heavy kicks. But he usually is covering up when I come jabbing in so i can stay close long enough to throw a combination before here back out of range of each other.
And I'm not a good kicker or wrestler. if this is MMA and you have decent wrestling you take him down, maybe set it up with a punch. But if you got decent kickboxing. You got to do how Shogun took it to Machida with leg kicks of your own to make him respect you and would probably make him hesitate with kicks. I have ****ty kickboxing but I love his front kick I throw. He went for a leg kick and I shot him right in the gut with one of those and he'll think next time before he trys to throw a kick. Of course that only happened one time with me but then again I do throw a lot of body punches when he kicks me because I try to just man up and suck up the pain and just take em but thats not smart if your going to be in a long match. So I'd stick with my first advice haha
