Thank you for uploading this, very interesting. If you always watch pro vs. pro you think, how would I do in this fight, so this kind of gives you sense, how a pro fighter will do against yourself.
@AntiNubDevice I'm not hating. Didn't you see the smiley face? It's just that I've sparred with many blackbelts who didn't seem to deserve the ranking. The blackbelts in my school were all killers with blinding speed so I expect a blackbelt to be a "high degree martial artist". This is why "blackbelt" means next to nothing these days. No venom here. I just hope that he is able to defend himself and his loved ones when the time comes. That is what is most important.
@mansioneer Actually, the meaning for having/earning a "blackbelt" has been miss interpreted by ALOT of people. i would go as far as to say that maybe one or two of you can correctly guess (i'm NOT insulting!). The true meaning for black belt is that "you are now ready to learn". Think about it, every form or technique you learn from beginning to BB is a tool that you need to learn and master before you are able to teach or learn the more adv. excercises. The journey to BB is only the beginning.
@mansioneer A blackbelt does not rank you as a high martial artist. A black belt is no differen't then your first. It represents a new beginning in your training. A crisp understanding of the basics / stamina. Self training, the art of teachings one's self. many black belts lack fundamentals but knowledge is where most strive in. A shitty fighter can still make one of the best teachers.
that was like watching paint dry ! infer-dales palming them selfs as fighters especially kung fu i would visit ur school ne day and show u real gung fu this is slap boxing!
@shakillify He's testing for a belt, and he's sparring against a pro. He's not training to be pro, or even helping the pro with his training. This is purely for learning and experience. You seriously expect a random guy to compete against a pro fighter? Silly street kid. Go visit a school of a true fighting art like Malay Silat, Pradal Serey, or Krav Maga and say that. See what happens when you insult them by calling their shit slapboxing.
this is what my Sifu calls a slap fight. and the squeeky shoes are a constant annoyance. the guy in the headgear is far too cocky. i see little mantis, and lots of poorly aimed, wild swinging. keep training guys...
Please tell me he didn't get his belt :) Btw CKFAMPVagisha. How can a praying mantis white belt not recognize this guy as a muay thai fighter. Embarassing.
@mansioneer Don't hate. How intimidated would you be stepping in, even just sparring like this, against a K1 pro? He's obviously hesitant, not to mention nervous as hell. Also, he's a guy testing for a black belt, not a fucking high degree martial artist like you obviously expect him to be. He's got decent speed and technique.
I hope not, this guy sucks at fighting and he gets winded easily. You can hear him gasping for air. He must attend a McDojo, because there is no other way this guy is even remotely close to being a black belt/sash.
The mantis had a good framework, but did not attack with hands, probably from northern branch. He should have barged the guy and finish him off with a gauchoy. It is a shame on the mantis to drag it for so long. The other guy had good legs, bad framework and defense with widely open hands inviting an attack, not protecting his head at all. As a white belt mantis, I could finish the guy in two minuts. This fight was not professional at all. It is sad to see such a bad performance.
@CKFAMPVagisha That fighter wasn't a southern (or northern) praying mantis fighter. He was a muay thai fighter. Mantis appears to just be his fight name. The point of this was not "style 'a' vs. style 'b'" nor was it to see who would "win." It was to test and give the black belt experience.
A lot of theoretical and speculative things could be said about fights and fighters (IMO especially amongst beginners and the arrogant), but that's often oversimplified and ignores context
The pro showed real restraint. It was obvious he could have slaughtered that guy anytime he wanted to do it! It is tough to fight against a guy that you know can put you out anytime he wishes. That is very intimidating!
I was taking martial arts for a while and I hated sparring. The reason is, you really cant let go and kill the guy. Its sparring. and that what it turns out to be. Its just a portion of what a real fight would be like. You can learn from it, but, mostly you learn to hold back. JMO
@MrDrunion in a streetfight, most of the time you must 'hold back' what you are doing, or you'll find yourself in big trouble if you hurt someone too much... let go and kill the guy is not martial art spirit... until youre in life death situation
@MrDrunion I know what you mean. When sparring, you are more concerned with not hurting the other guy...In a real fight, your only thought is "must kill opponent...rip throat out...remove testicles!"
I'm not sure if sparring can be considered training for a real confrontation. But it has some value, for sure.
this took too long.. the guy inthe shorts must have came in for a guest appearance because the others probably fight like his weak azz (the black belt).
I believe "Mantis" is the name of the kickboxer, the blackbelt mentioned seems to be the guy in the full black gi, wearing the black belt and the helmet. Looks like a get-up that would be hot to try and fight in. I don't think either of these guys really did much better (or worse) than the other. Gloves make a big difference. Did the kickboxer go light? The blackbelt seemed too timid.
@tgreer0120 - The blackbelt got schooled. Mantis let the guy play a little for the first two rounds. In the last round Mantis decided to add a little pressure, maybe 30% power. This was a friendly sparring match so there was no sense in beating the black belt senseless.
If the black belt wanted war, then he better have been ready to fight like a pro and take hits like one. Mantis didn't even break a sweat.
@iApna, it's extremely debatable what a black belt is, or means. Plenty of people get black belts that aren't very good. It means nothing. Regardless of what someone has for ranking, some are better fighters than others. As far as I can see, the guy was just wearing a black belt... what is that supposed to mean? Nothing. Sounds like the kickboxer was just more experienced or a better fighter. They both weren't showing any real skills, not that fighting is easy.
@iApna, if you're a fan, so be it, but I'm not bothered if you don't agree with me about the skills. Everyone has their own view, based on what they know and they're experience, or if they're biased as a fan (perhaps). Perhaps not, but nothing of much skill was shown in this video. I disagree about how much more expertise this man showed over the other guy, even if the other guy lost. Debatable if the oppnoent was much of a black belt, whatever that's supposed to mean anyway?
- He kept his opponent on the defensive for most of the 3rd round. As a result he exhausted the black belt. This is just a sign of fear from the black belt.
I can go on. But point is Mantis showed his fight experience the black belt didn't show any of it. You can't learn anything I mentinoed or understand unless you actually fight and trained by an instructor who has real fight experience. You're right though black belt means nothing.
@iApna, you seem to create a lot of scenarios about this "Mantis" fellow. Anyway, should we slap on a black colored belt on any random person and have them spar with someone and then go on about how someone beta a black belt, and then go on about how thy dominated the opponent? I didn't see much domination/better skills. I'm not saying he couldn't have, I'm saying he didn't. Yeah, he was calm about it, not saying the guy sucks, just saying this video didn't show anything either way.
@iApna, I'll also continue; I fight/spar and train all of the time, and I have my own personal views and experiences to determine what I personally feel. So, it's not for a lack of understanding, or lack of insight. Any fight between two people can go different in a lot of ways, this was the result of this one, on video. I know nothing of the fighters other than what I saw here, in a short video of a very light, non serious spar. That's cool, I just don't see much skill from either.
oh shit i think ive actually heard of this mantis guy. he was supposed to fight at the world stand off, thailand versus usa, the first one. he had to have been taking it easy on this guy. he's clearly a muay thai guy. surprised he didnt low kick the shit out of him.
Pathetic. This is what capitalisim, as wonderful as it is, doesn't mix with martial arts. Notice the 3 or so stripes on the Ta Kwon Do's belt. The fact that a "fighter" with that little skill, has "earned" anywhere close to black, not to mention, 2nd or third Dan, Proves that at his school you will keep getting promoted so long as you keep paying tuition.
@tphroc Agreed. People will keep paying because they feel like they've won some sort of trophy to mark progression that never happened. Needing the money, the sensei lets it go on. Can't really call them much of a sensei at that point, though. Just another person out there trying to raise the almighty dollar that controls our lives from conception 'til after we die.
Uuh Mantis is a K1 level Pro? Negative... I worked K1 from 2003 to 2008..... Never even saw him at the tryouts that were open to any person who wanted to compete.
who are all these people who swear they can ID a black belt or take one on, be my guest. I guess people think of a black belt as a kind of exhibitionists or think of martial arts as the kind of CONTROLLED things you see on TV. Most of the time the really deadly ones don't have pretty, flashy, showy skills.
Ok... now this should prove one thing. This was 3 rounds. You do not waste ALL your stamina in 3 rounds. Even in amatour. Because if it exist 45 sec left when you are out of breath you will be knocked down!
please read the description; "Mantis" (a k-1 pro) vs a guy testing for his black belt. Obviously Mantis is a Muy thai fighter. The black guy looks like a Lima Lama/kenpo/Polynesian arts type fighter. Mantis starts off being very conservative and playing it safe. The black guy gets tired at the end and Mantis capitalizes on it. Both guys are VERY good but the black guy was probably winded after testing probably for a couple hours directly before the fight.
these guys are both actually very good !! they're just a little ineffective with each other because the styles are so different and because they both respect the other guys ability
lmao... it took me 10 years to get a briwn belt. Yes it was in america but i didnt learn from an idiot trying to make money of even bigger idiots. If you got your black belt in less than 6 years your a noob... end of story. These guys fight like yellow belts or worse. America is such an emberresment to the martial arts world
This is a muay tai fighter against a "karate" guy. It's a pity that the person who posted tihs video doesn't know the difference - or that he or she used "misleading info" to get people to watch this match.
@vintrexx - Mantis was not giving the black belt an opportunity to strike around his defense. The blackbelt doesn't know how to setup his shots and resorted to single weak strikes. Part of the problem is the black belt was uncommitted to his strikes because he knew Mantis was just playing and probably a little nervous of being knocked out. Mantis did good by holding back and gave the black belt a few wake up shots at the end.
@vintrexx ha ha ha I also came to look at a mantis practitioner...cause i have never seen this in actual fight..... so the guys name is mantis...ha ha ha
so who won then lol tell you what get rid of the gloves the head gaurd and shin pads go out side in a feild or smething and do it again i can see when some on get hit wid a good shot they stop and admire it
if i has to fight its to servive not to prove my self to any one
K1 pro..? Dude fought in K1? he seems small for the heavyweights, did he fight in Max? there are hardly any Americans that do well in K1, wonder if I ever saw him fight.. He fought any Dutch fighters?
That kick boxer was buying his time. When he did that first leg kick he figured it was time to wear the blk belt down then the guy on the sideline said use your knee to block I think he meant shin a knee vs a kickboxers leg would be suicide but over all good fight
¿Mantis vs que? No se Mantis por ningún lado. Con guantes de boxeo poco Mantis se puede hacer ¿Donde están los agarres? ¿y los atrapes? ¿Donde está en definitiva el Kung Fu?. ..por ningún lado. Solo kick boxing vs kick boxing
The guy withe the red gloves seemed very jumpy and hesitant. There was obviously fear in his movements. The dude with the black gloves seems very composed. Most of the time only moving when he has to like blocking and such. His attacks were also very hard hitting it seemed. From their conviction alone, it seems the black gloves guy had it all under control. While the red gloves guy was wasting his stamina, the black gloves guy reserved his. Although b.gloves guy was acting cocky.
not the best representation of mantis, ive been doing mantis for 8 years and i didnt realize at first this was mantis that he was doing, it looked like a bad hun gar for a second, either way not the best
the fighter mantis should really try to block. hes obviously more powerful than the black belt but who cares if he had a knife then that thai fighters ignorant tendencie to take the blows would get him stabbed i bet that the black belt would fair better then. or hell if he just poked his eyes or his throat . not blocking or defending in any way is just pride fueled ignorance. when you dont know anything about your opponent and claim to know it all your bound to end up hurt thats honesty
@yizhichanlohan - Bros, first there wasn't any knifes so whatever. A Thai fighter not blocking is not a show of ignorance. The entire body is conditioned to act as shield, especially the core muscles. Taking a few hits from a rookie meh whatever.
There was no point for Mantis to annihilate the guy. He just let him have fun until round 3. Then he decided to help him understand why keeping the hands up is important. The Thai guy was respectful in not knocking him out or using elbows, knees.
That is actually a defensive muay thai style stance, (used by many thai fighters from thailand including buakaw). Also just because he is a "K1 Pro" does not mean he practices Muay thai (though he probably does, judging from his stance).
Also... MMA is not muay thai, and the kind of striking you see in MMA is not Muay Thai either. It is Muay Thai influenced and modified, yes, but not pure Muay Thai as you see from this stance. A stance designed for Muay Thai, no throws at distance.
The fighter who is called "Mantis"... I want to see more of him! Where can i find more fights with this guy. If he's realy a K1 Pro fighter it cant be so dificult to find more fights with him.. But i found nothing.
The Muay Thai fighter is much better. That karate stuff has no power. You can hear the pop in the Thai fighters strikes. He was ready to go another 10 rounds.
My guess is the "black belt" dude is Tae-Kwon Do or some other sort of corrupt Karate? I know Mantis us mu thai, but I can't make out anything from the other guy's style beyond the lunge kick he does halfway and the fact that it sucks.
@DrQuijano corrupt karate? wtf are you on about Tae-Kwon Do is a totally different art to Karate get to know your information before you talking about shit you don't know about mate
@slayer1234567891 I wasnt clear. I didnt mean "Tae Kwon Do is corrupt Karate", I meant to say "It's either Tae Kwon Do (I know this is a kick-heavy style.I took a few lessons when I was 8,then changed to Aikido.My nephew is a black belt in TKD) OR it's some other type of mixed martial art that includes some stuff from TKD (I said corrupt when I should've said mixed). My bad if I insulted the TKD community, but you have to admit your punches and throws are still inferior. So, what is his style?
@DrQuijano ahk I get what you mean now, yea I'm still wondering what his style is although there both bad fighters so it's hard to tell what they're doing.
Ecellent control by the Master. Experience really shows.

- Excellent control in power, speed and distance
- He dominated his opponent with simple mind games and basic striking techniques

who are all these people who swear they can ID a black belt or take one on, be my guest. I guess people think of a black belt as a kind of exhibitionists or think of martial arts as the kind of CONTROLLED things you see on TV. Most of the time the really deadly ones don't have pretty, flashy, showy skills.

Ok... now this should prove one thing. This was 3 rounds. You do not waste ALL your stamina in 3 rounds. Even in amatour. Because if it exist 45 sec left when you are out of breath you will be knocked down!

please read the description; "Mantis" (a k-1 pro) vs a guy testing for his black belt. Obviously Mantis is a Muy thai fighter. The black guy looks like a Lima Lama/kenpo/Polynesian arts type fighter. Mantis starts off being very conservative and playing it safe. The black guy gets tired at the end and Mantis capitalizes on it. Both guys are VERY good but the black guy was probably winded after testing probably for a couple hours directly before the fight.

@vintrexx - Mantis was not giving the black belt an opportunity to strike around his defense. The blackbelt doesn't know how to setup his shots and resorted to single weak strikes. Part of the problem is the black belt was uncommitted to his strikes because he knew Mantis was just playing and probably a little nervous of being knocked out. Mantis did good by holding back and gave the black belt a few wake up shots at the end.

That kick boxer was buying his time. When he did that first leg kick he figured it was time to wear the blk belt down then the guy on the sideline said use your knee to block I think he meant shin a knee vs a kickboxers leg would be suicide but over all good fight

The guy withe the red gloves seemed very jumpy and hesitant. There was obviously fear in his movements. The dude with the black gloves seems very composed. Most of the time only moving when he has to like blocking and such. His attacks were also very hard hitting it seemed. From their conviction alone, it seems the black gloves guy had it all under control. While the red gloves guy was wasting his stamina, the black gloves guy reserved his. Although b.gloves guy was acting cocky.

the fighter mantis should really try to block. hes obviously more powerful than the black belt but who cares if he had a knife then that thai fighters ignorant tendencie to take the blows would get him stabbed i bet that the black belt would fair better then. or hell if he just poked his eyes or his throat . not blocking or defending in any way is just pride fueled ignorance. when you dont know anything about your opponent and claim to know it all your bound to end up hurt thats honesty
yizhichanlohan 1 year ago
@yizhichanlohan - Bros, first there wasn't any knifes so whatever. A Thai fighter not blocking is not a show of ignorance. The entire body is conditioned to act as shield, especially the core muscles. Taking a few hits from a rookie meh whatever.
There was no point for Mantis to annihilate the guy. He just let him have fun until round 3. Then he decided to help him understand why keeping the hands up is important. The Thai guy was respectful in not knocking him out or using elbows, knees.

CandyJack123 1 year ago
That is actually a defensive muay thai style stance, (used by many thai fighters from thailand including buakaw). Also just because he is a "K1 Pro" does not mean he practices Muay thai (though he probably does, judging from his stance).
Also... MMA is not muay thai, and the kind of striking you see in MMA is not Muay Thai either. It is Muay Thai influenced and modified, yes, but not pure Muay Thai as you see from this stance. A stance designed for Muay Thai, no throws at distance.

My guess is the "black belt" dude is Tae-Kwon Do or some other sort of corrupt Karate? I know Mantis us mu thai, but I can't make out anything from the other guy's style beyond the lunge kick he does halfway and the fact that it sucks.

slayer1234567891 1 year ago
@slayer1234567891 I wasnt clear. I didnt mean "Tae Kwon Do is corrupt Karate", I meant to say "It's either Tae Kwon Do (I know this is a kick-heavy style.I took a few lessons when I was 8,then changed to Aikido.My nephew is a black belt in TKD) OR it's some other type of mixed martial art that includes some stuff from TKD (I said corrupt when I should've said mixed). My bad if I insulted the TKD community, but you have to admit your punches and throws are still inferior. So, what is his style?
DrQuijano 1 year ago
@DrQuijano ahk I get what you mean now, yea I'm still wondering what his style is although there both bad fighters so it's hard to tell what they're doing.
