I have the antidote. She just recently posted a Muay Thai 101 video about catching a kick and sweeping, and was assaulted by a thousand morons about her strength and technique, a lot of whom were tiny baby men. You can tell by their facials. SO many fake personas.
It leaked to the Bullshido FB group for a short while before I put a stop to that shit. Meanwhile, in other parts of the Internet, the idiocy is ongoing.
I challenge you to a Gong Sau. Not with me (unless you’re in NJ), but with anyone local to you. Please, post video of you attempting to kick a living, noncompliant human.
Hear that, 20 seconds in? Some of us here have felt that. You should try it. Your kicks will remain pretty weak by comparison until you do.
Let’s be honest, this is still all kicking air and unalive things.
The trouble with these KMA guys is that they never actually get kicked. So how the fuck can they possibly know how to kick well. I’m sure you, like I, have had more than one massive kick-related subdermal hematoma.
I’ve said it before, if TKD produced killer kickers, they’d own the full contact standup competition scene.
They don’t, that belongs to Muay X, Lethwei, and Sanshou, with respect to Asian arts.
Also don’t confuse training for self defence with ring fighting. Self defence is a static, threatened situation, in Which the object is to deliver one shot and get out of there. Ring fighting is footwork and a lot of other irrelevant stuff unless there is a formal challenge match on the street and both guys are ready and start at a distance.
My redheaded cousin just graduated from high school and is headed to Penn State Main.
I told him he was an Ultramarine, on account of his brilliant, deep blue gown. He didnt get the significance. Neither did his mother.
He’s not a stepchild. His father just died suddenly in September. By June he was sky high, wearing colors everyone else is calling Nittany Blue, but I know better.
