what art for what body type?
which style matter does it not...
the mind is the most powerful weapon
and greatest, its where it all begins,
the body is a physical tool from which
your mind manipulates.:p
never knew this would get so out of hand!!
ok,, 5'6 195 pounds, dont know exact bodyfat percent probably 15 or so percent,, i train in my kenpo style 4 days a week i spar, use heavy bags, shadowbox. I also lift weights 2 times a week let me rephrase my question a bit more. im fighting in a sparring match a guy that is 6'3 almost a foot taller!Im a good kicker but im not a very high kicker to get my leg up to this guys head in a match, his legs of course fly over me,, doing axe kicks, crecent kicks and the such,,basically when im in his punching range he is in my kicking range, so im just trying to see how i can use my low level kicks to him. i know i can easily take out his knee caps,, but i find it hard to hit a big guy in the body with any kicks,, although, i also sparred with a guy who is about 5-9 and landed som good kicks to the face. I guess maybe it is just the guy im sparring with,, he covers his body well and i cant hit it with a kick,, I end up rushing in and trying to get him with hand techniques. I cant blast his legs he could get seriously injured, i just thought my exess weight might make it hard for me to do kicks, since i weight as much as him , so that is why i wanted to no if a should just stick with a low kicking style cause of my weight.sorry im rambling so much. i also heard that the fighter shamrock is a short guy,, and wiondered if he studied a striking art of martial arts,, if anyone knows? thanks for all the informative info!!!!!!!
