Don't know if this has been up here yet, (y'know, cuz I'm a Kung-Fu guy, so I don't come here much;-)

Kimbo isn't a great mma fighter or anything, but he has sense enough not to telegraph his punches as do most boxers. Kimbo is just being polite.

[Dragonzbane76]

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.

Sadly, that's what happens when you try to be a nice guy. Some jerk posted a video entitled, "Kimbo Gets Schooled." I hope that Kimbo stuffs that dude in a trash can.

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

Kimbo is making his boxing debut on August 13th against 39 year old James Wade who is 0-1.

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.

If I watched this without sound, I would agree with you. Since I paid attention to the audio, I thought it was a mixed bag of faulty logic and show boating. The, "instructor," demonstrated martial arts technique, but nothing he said was worthwhile.

personally id give it credit if he could show those principles in action against kimbo, should be easy to do right...............

[JamesC]

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.

[Kevin73]

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.

Irrelevant. The principles of not telegraphing your move to the opponent shoule make sense to any actual fighter, even if they are taught to you by a 75 year old man.

It just makes sense. Also, the fact that sometimes you can be slow, yet you can be more effective than fast, should be something that provokes a figher or a potential fighter, into researching this concept further.

nope unless you can show it in action its useless, principles like that are great, ever wonder why you dont see fighters like kimbo using methods like that.....
