Right! This why i teach my students in the beginning to forget the combo's until each single strike improves. That way each strike, redirection, trap, etc etc will be there for you "ON THE FLY" its up to you and your training to know how to instantly string your individual techniques into something effective (freestyle), not picture perfect.Yes, I'll go one further and say the modifications are really just the on the fly adjustments one MUST make in a chaotic and abstract situation. Such as the unpredictable angles, forces, and reactions of your opponent that tend to smear the picture perfect ideal of a form. In which case even the Pure Kickboxer®™© isn't immune. Otherwise all his fighting would look like the picture perfect form of his shadowboxing and padwork.
let me put it like this, when I do forms, i'm going to have a bunch open doors according to some people because of my long range techniques. But its just a form so i don't really worry about it. but, when it comes to fighting and training to fight i know that i can't be so long range unless im trying to keep the guy at a distance. but I must know how to apply the same techniques while im up in the mid range and also now to modify it "ON THE FLY" as you stated in the short range as well.
those are what we preferred as well.We worked mostly with the so called Bruce Lee gloves. 10 oz. I found NO hindrance to my over all technique. I could grab or diu sao.

Bruh we thought you knew better
when it comes to head huntin, ain't no one can do it better
people are starting to throw in what is modernly refered to as 'unorthodox' striking, case in point, last night in ufc fight (forget who) one guy threw a 360 spinning outside crescent kick. very very uncommon to see that in mma. whats even funnier is that joe rogan had to explain to mike goldberg what it was, and actually said that it is an 'old school' technique...
For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.
A nice evolution of kickboxing, starting with the PKA days back in the 70's to early 80's

My Favorite K-1 fighter is Michael Macdonald. Regardless that he is not a KF representative, he has all the same ingredients. Tight guard that is useful in attack and defense. Solid footwork and maneuvering. CLEAN delivery of strikes. ( as clean as you can get with a heavy human to bounce off of who is hitting you back.) Great use of angles and height ranges. ETC ETC

When I bounced up in Hamilton we had a lot of the OHL guys come in to the night club (Monopoly) and they liked to cause trouble at times and I recall one guy that tried that "grab and punch" thing, trying to get the shirt over my head and all that.
It was a beautiful Ippon Seio nage, truly worthy of praise by the Judo Gods !

Ohhhh, I like you guys more an more.
These are the same types of statements I always make but are not real popular with some folks.
As an aside on the glove issue. That is indeed a consideration for many traditionalists and always has been. It was a consideration for me in choosing the modern kuoshu over the sanshou federation back when I re-involved myself in the 90's. The rules and gloves (4 oz. fingerless nowadays, cotton garden gloves in my day) were more favorable to our methodology.
One of these days the world is going to become so politically correct that it will scare itself out of existence.

Mr. Patterson,
I just found some footage from the "World event" that your championship team brought home "Gold medals" from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5wzaDgYQZA
Sorry that we had a heavy winded conversation. If I would have seen this first.....

Even though there're no headshots, I've always enjoyed this clip from CangZhou.

Ray, in all honesty, You fight and thats good, but I don't see anything particularly special about you or your opponents. After all, you're only really as good as the people you fight. So the question is, why the high and mighty act? What makes you so superior?

From what I've read in this thread, I'm extremely curious to know if anyone out there has the same thoughts as I on this...
I see sparring and cage and challenge matches, etc. as something completely unto its own world - very different from barroom brawling or battlefields or from real-life defense; after all, no one comes up to you at the ATM and strikes a fighting stance, perhaps bouncing, perhaps getting grounded etc., and saying "Gimme your money".
This is NOT a "our stuff is too deadly for the ring" statement - so the tards who'd take that strawman stfu.
Yes, "Northwind" is my internet alias used for years that has lots to do with my main style, as well as other lil cool things - it just works. Wanna know my name? Ask me
