yeah i think he's just being polite.
Actually kimbos boxing isn't that bad, it's just everything else in his arsenal that sucks.

Ok which one of you can handle Kimbo Slice? On the real? cause if he's much better than you are, then its only fair to give the man his props. he's a beast.
I think give Kimbo his due he improved a great deal on TUF. If he could ground work and so fourth as good as he strikes he`d be a contender in the UFC.
thoughts?
1) its easy to do this cr*p when you arent trying to hit with power and your opponent isnt hitting back
2) Kimbo is a nice guy
3) i know who my money would be on in a real fight
I saw some kung fu principles in that video. For example, the emphasis on the elbow as "propulsion" and not the shoulder. The use of slow (yin) strikes as opposed to fast (yang), to get he same results, that is, hit the target.
That video will provide the "modernist" a small window into the wisdom of some of the TCMA methodologies and concepts.
Thank you for posting.

personally id give it credit if he could show those principles in action against kimbo, should be easy to do right...............
Kimbo and Bob Sapp are the reasons that weight divisions exist, lol.
He does seem to be a generally nice guy, though. I don't know if he was while he was doing his street fighting or not. I wonder, was he maybe humbled a bit when he started training in MMA?
I like him. He was obviously being polite.

I didn't see anyone getting "schooled". Kimbo sat there and listened to the other guy explain things. So what? This wasn't a sparring match or even a boxing match where the teacher was applying what he was taught.
I think those principles are good if you are fighting in a point fight contest where the action is started and stopped and contact is limited, but when it is fast and furious how well does it hold up.
"God gave you a brain, and it annoys Him greatly when you choose not to use it."
I'm in total agreement with his alignment, elbow down, non-telegraphic movement, etc.
I'm not too keen on his power generation, however. The way he's throwing it, I am not sure if it has enough body behind the blow. If he can do the same thing but engage his body more during the power chain, it would be quick, not telegraphic, and powerful.

lol theory is just that, i love it when people who havent fought like to tell fighters what they are doing is wrong
