I met the dude that invented tkd, and created my own style No Can Do. does this qualify me to give an opinion. I also punched someone that did karate, surely this must validate my analysis.
Well, thanks for the high regard, I guess.
I'm going to be extremely diplomatic and say that the best kick (or strike) is the one that lands. If you're able to land that kick on a resisting opponent and hurt him, then it's a good kick, no matter how it looks.
Look at Deontay Wilder: his boxing is... well... sloppy, not even close to good form. But he's 40-0 and HW champ. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Bottom line: show us some sparring instead.
Well.. 95% of his opposition has been bums.
He said 95%, which means that Ortiz is in the 5%
Well I wasn't arguing that, but he didn't call Ortiz a bum is all I'm saying.

With all things being equal, a stronger and better shape athlete will win...told me all you need to beat a profession fighter sometimes is to be in better shape then them
I'm Hotora86 and I approve of this kickI was looking for:
"I'm Hotora86 and I approve of this kick"
With all things being equal, a stronger and better shape athlete will win
At the early stages of a pro its probably more true. I'm talking about pros who exp-wise are basically ammy

With all things being equal, being my main point. Mental game is huge, and I know this, I've competed. But the topic the poster I replied to mentioned about physical attributes dominating against fresh prosChuck Norris was of a different opinion.. He estimated it to be something like 70-80% mental. I think that's closer to the truth. Btw, a solid chin is crucial too. I've seen good fighters who fold due to shaky shins, against inferior fighters.
Yeah thats a problem, but sometimes peeps don't have anything going on, and need to make money fast, and they jump striaght to pro. That's what happened in the early UFC days, it was rare for that to happen in boxing, but MMA, they go straight pro with little ammy exp.Really their are a lot of bums that go straight pro, and lose then they can't fight amatuer, I know one guy who trained at american top team his first amatuer fight he was not representing a gym and had no sparring partners or fight preparation. And he won the fight but he was in shape and didn't have a background in martial arts.
I don't wanna fight. I was curious If it looks like familiar, Karate territory? Or completely "wrong"?

Yeah you have to plan it out like any career pathYeah that's the mistake I'm not going to make, a lot of people get offered pro contracts after their first fight, but if I get offered one in the near future (if I get my chance to fight this year) I am not taking it, I want to focus on improving more areas first before taking it to the next level.
