Hold on - some of you are missing the point...

It is very hard for a full contact fighter to switch to leg kicks. Their stance is wrong, they train to impact with the foot not the shin, they don't condition for it....the list goes on.

ITS A DIFFERENT SPORT!

With time, and training, they can adjust to leg kicks....but it needs practice and adjustment.

Equally though, I know of many Thai boxers who've come unstuck when they tried full contact. Why? Cause they were too square, couldn't use half of their techniques.....'cause ITS A DIFFERENT SPORT!

And the crowd - how about this - a crowd of non training people falls asleep watching two fighters in a Thai match continually grapple, no matter how technical the fight actually is...

And as for force of kicks? I've a student who doesn't fight, Andre, who has a serriously hard chamber kick - like lighting, accurate, and bl**dy hurts!! And check out the immortal Buster Reeves (currently staying at Brad Pitt's house in LA - doing his stunts on 'Helen of Troy') his kicking is just amazing - dare I say it - better than Superfoots!!

Anyway - K1 is the future!!! Lol!

And remember, I've fought in two WAKO European championships at Heavyweight full contact - silver in one, gold in the other; two WAKO World Championships - quarter finals in one, gold in the other, picked up the WAKO Heavyweight European Full Contact Title, lost on points for the WAKO World.....and I don't drive a C5!! OK, I drive a Rover 75, so its just as bad....old man' car!!!

To reiterate - they are all different sports - train for one, and the other suffers, but all have their place, and all have their merits. At the end of the day we need to stick together and PROMOTE ALL OUR SPORTS!

DAMN, I'VE FALLEN FOUL OF SANDY'S CAPS!!! LOL!!
