some fc fighters can make the change. others can't. if they approach it properly [ie. defense first] they'll be fine. if they try to approach it offence first they'll look like rick roufus or pele reid. amada, tajima and bernardo all switched over from boxing successfully. by that, i mean that their failures can't be blamed on their origins.

i dont say its impossible, it just seems to be very difficult for f.c. fighters to switch to k-1 style.

the difference between an easy task and a difficult task is time. a fighter can either waste time or save time based on the decisions he makes. if i were trent tompkins. i would go to vos gym. they would teach me how to get the most out of my hands without losing my legs. they have a great track record. if i were noji, on the other hand, i would go to steve's gym.

oliver,
nice story.
