LOS-running and strong legs. What I understand is that muscles strengthen in the range you use them. Running will have limited strength benifits to kicking for example. Just like curling the 1st 20degrees won't make you stronger in the last 20degrees of a biceps curl.

In terms of being able to take the kick (leg kick). That has always been something I wondered about. I think that mental is huge and a big factor. I have had a Thai go specifically for the legs and I my training partner had the same experience. It didn't stop us from fighting.

The Thais tell me farungs legs are weak cause we eat bread and that we should eat rice. Though its kind of funny and I odn't believe that to be true I think there is some truth in it.

The main reason...I have been looking for a logical answer to that for awhile...

I also think that the Thais are much more relaxed in training and fighting and that this makes a difference. Another plus for the Thai style of 'sparring' in my book.
