When Bruce Lee was still alive, if you open a MA school and you can't perform his favor triple kicks combo, you won't be able to get any students.
When Bruce was still alive, to be able to reach to his speed level was always my goal.
Ahhh so you caught on to the strange victory tone as well. it reminded me of someone who doesn't have good control of a strike. Instead of admitting that, they act as if it was intentional. His statement at the end is a strange answer. It could be him, but that's a strange response to the question. Which makes me think that he was probably aiming at the lower thigh. I bet he was thinking more along the lines of damaging the thigh and not the blowing up the knee.
In long fist training that you try to kick my knee and I also try to kick your knee is a very basic training. The moment that you land your foot, the moment that I can kick your knee. If you can pull your leg back fast enough, you can kick my knee back.
Only time will tell. I would be curious to know how long he trained this kick. People tend to learn striking function before they learn striking control. First the student learns how to land a kick on the target, then they learn how to control it. Or maybe that's just the way I teach it lol.
Well if they don't ban the kick then all of the fighters should start learning how to defend against it since it's fair game. Time will tell. Once you blow out your knee it really isn't like it used to be depending on what is torn or broken. After the match Bukauska said his leg was broken. We'll know once the xrays and mri scans come out.
Oh he didn't say that. I was saying that's where that kick usually lands when you don't want to blow someone's knee out. So if you train this kick you'll throw this kick higher up. Which is why I'm thinking that he made the statement about not training the kick the way that he threw it and with the intent that he threw it. He probably meant to kick the leg, because that's what he did. He probably just didn't intend for it to result in that, because most fighters who get kicked in the leg like that don't suffer the same injury. Most fighters who get kick in the leg like that are usually advancing and not punching. When you advance your foot points forward and that offers protection structure wise. But when you advance and punch at the same time the legs takes a different structure. In terms of the quality of strike. Grade A++++ perfect timing against the punch. If you want to teach self defense then that's the video clip you show of an effective strike to the leg. But if that's not your intent for that to happen then it's a D+. That means your opponent moved in a way that made the kick worse than what it is, or you haven't fully understand this kick and kicked when you probably shouldn't in terms of protecting another fighter, but then again. it's legal and the entire point of Professional fighting is to hurt your opponent. So there's that contra diction. But back to the kick.
I agree with you on that. There's fighting and there's gladiator sports. Just because MMA has the fewest set of rules doesn't mean that some of the risker dangerous techniques should be allowed. When I spar with people, I only allow those type of leg kicks with people who have good control because that kick can be damaging even at lower power levels. It doesn't take much to damage the knee. People have damaged their knees with less.
I'm also curious to know how much time he has spent training this kick.
