Craptastic Sparring with a Kickboxer

Originally didn't mean to leave this on public for so long. Guess I'll let it stay for now.
A little background. The guy wearing the headgear was having an amateur fight at a kickboxing tourney the next week, so I didn't want to pound the crap out of him and took it easy.
That being said there are a couple of hits where I dinged him, even though they don't look like much on film ;)

Feel free to play the "where's waldo game" at finding them if you're bored.

Footwork is just a result of conditioning the body in a certain way that follows the natural lay of the muscles. And the guy in the vid didn't hit hard enough to warrant having my hands up in the guard.

interesting....although your hands are down on your guard you just seem to carry on regardless...is there reasoning with the footwork a it just seemed a natural rhythm??

Hey, are you from the Aunkai group?

Good stuff in this vid. Nice grounding (despite obviously electing not to root), solid "body", good connected short power. +1!

Gonna check out your other vids now.

Nice vid. The tall guy looks like Sheldon from The Big Bang theory !

Good stuff guys, thanks for sharing. I'm glad there aren't any haters on this vid, I'm sick of that bullcrap.

Both sparring partners had the option to deliver dozens of finishing blows ... but what is the point of that if both of you are there to learn ..... I bet you the kick boxer is as tough as nails ... and could go up 5 or 6 gears when required ... The big sparring partner looks solid as well ...

1:57 is hilarious..just toying with him

[ilovesilvia69]

wow you're a newb.

[yottky]

can some1 explain what is going on. I figure out the one element of your style is keep pushing forward and let no space for the kickboxer to punch/kick (i know about WC so I spot this element easily).

omg what a noob he leaves his chin wide open thats the shit you get when youre not allowed to hit the face tottally bullshido
