I sparred this dude yesterday who is 18 and already a seasoned TKD fighter. Tagged him with a hook kick actually but mostly just kicking and blocking in our sparring.
What I don't get when I feel his kicks (very powerful, fast, and technical) and his speedy footwork, (never in range for me to punch him) why he is still trapped in mediocrity and constantly loses first or second round?
Have you guys experienced these paradoxes who have it all technically yet don't make it as fighters?
He is not mentally weak or anything like that. I don't get why he doesn't do better?
