Yeah, I hear you there brother but like drinking a beer with your mates, you need to know when to stop, take a break (time off) and carry on later. Does that make sence? Constantly doing the same thing does make technique second nature and speed things up along the way but can also have a reverse effect if prolonged too much. For the thought on being able to follow with multiple kicks during a fight I agree totally. Many gyms dont let students leave without doing a minimum of 100 kicks and 100 knees after training each night. Physical conditioning goes alot further than practical and often the obvious is only second best most of the time. From what I am awear of most of Buakao's training has been practical (maybe with added work now). Incorperating specific power enhancing movements for the torso, glutes and hips could add to the power of a kick in a month what may take longer on the pads. Speed can be brought into with quad, hip flexor and even calf work and again at awesome results with minimum time and effort. Age old argument that many people feel opposed too but this is my perception and general thoughts and by no means am I stating my word is bond. I am a strong supporter of old school, hard work. But I also understand that sometimes stepping onto a different path for a while before stepping back helps.
One thing I do like about Buakao was his growing, did you guys see the blows he was throwing at Jomhod, he was trying to serve up some ribs and did a beauty job.
