I think there is more to it than that though.. I'm not saying it can't work for something. But is it the best way? How long will it last? 200 kicks gonna train the body to use more slow twitch than fast twitch...in fact switching some mucles fibers to more slow twitch. (I know there is more than slow and fast but i don't think that detail is needed).

Sting-getting better. I agree in many ways and also disagree. As humans, as a race I think we are getting much much weaker. Look at ALL the increases in degenerative disease. injuries. ACL injuries-if we had that many 1000 years ago we'd be just about extinct!!!!! Many don't think disease has anything to do with health. NO opinion here. You're just plain wrong (IMO:P). But I do think we are getting more and more knowlage (much is coming from things done along time ago). The average person has tendons made of cooked spagetti and muscles made of jello.

Fewer and fewer CAN be athletes. Fewer and fewer have a strong enough expression of thier genes to do anything great. I think 1000 years ago with todays training and knowlage etc would kick our asses BIG time! Or at least the average person would be MUCH MUCH stronger, healthier etc etc than the average now.

Price taught natives med surgery and was amazed at thier skill and ability. Being healthy means a better functioning EVERYTHING! Brain, immune system, hormonal system, reproductive system, digestive system, elimination system etc etc etc

I htink fighters are better now...at least the ones that go somewhere. But I think yesteryear more could have gone somewhere.

Do people think we grow with building blocks stored in our genes??? We can only express them and grow by what we put into the body.

Some people are made of coke and fries LITTERALLY!!! nasty (bet you money they have parasites too..have sex with someone with yeast issues...guess what guys...you get some issues of your own.

I think the Thais are in general healthier and therefor closer to thier genetic potential.

Farung-some train smart..

I think the individual needs to look at smart training, health (being many things) and good skill/technique.


I suspect Buakow to have alot of tallent, developed great skills, being healthy and a good expression of strong genes to start. But training that way, besides cutting back on performance, I htink, is likely to degrade his health and one way or another shorten his fighting life or his life as we know it.
