I love this sh.it
No steroids! Great reflexes, great sense of timing. Look at their stances at modern MMA fighters. Muay Thai and Boxing are legit. You need those skills, but more and more we are finding they're faaar too attenuated. They come with unnecessary baggage. If you look at early Boxing, you see they had stances closer to karate bros. |

I can tell you how many of those phaggytz I smashed in my day. Oh cool, thai boxers can kick bamboo in half? Try kicking me in halg while I suplex you. They ate the Alpo too. Anyway, how well did Aldo do against McGregor? How well did Silva do against weidman (histrainer started out in Karate)? Who did better against Couture than Liddell and Machida? How well did anyone do against St. Pierre? Have you ever seen anyone better than Shahbazayan at this age? |

In a punching and kicking contest like K-1 the Muay Thai fighters or kickboxers come out on top over karate guys the vast majority of the time. If you want to allow elbows as well than the Thai fighters will dominate even more. It is what it is. Last edited by ShoulderRoll; 11-24-2019 at 10:58 AM. |

I remember reading in Black Belt magazine back in the 80s about full contact matches in Hong Kong. Not "kumite" in re Bloodsport but looks to be the real deal. Kicking an opponent while down was within the rules.

Show me a match where a guy who trains in a style of karate where fighting is the norm, as many of my generation did, againt another who is fighting using another style...I have not seen it. and all these derivative styles are wonderful...but they are not the same. I will give a similar argument for Thai boxers. Show me a match where a professional Thai Fighter fought against another stylist. Not some guy who claims to be a Thai fighter, a Thai fighter from one of the training halls, who is in prime. What you see is very prejudiced about these fights... They usually settle issues that are unintended. For example, professional MMA is not about ANY style, it is about using techniques suitable for the ring in an MMA contest. |
