Freddylee Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 did anyone here check out the cagefighting show on saturday night? There were a few kickboxing bouts as well What did you think from what you saw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I didn't, but a friend into MMA did. She thought that the quality was low and testosterone levels were high. I respect her opinion as she's pretty damn good at MMA herself. Rosi Sexton - Womens British MMA Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddylee Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 Hi cyclone i was at the show I saw that all the MMA figths ended in stoppages and tapouts As did 2 out of the 3 kickboxing bouts. The kickboxing bouts were under the new "Hybrid" rules system (as taught at sheffieldkickboxing.com ). One was a clean KO from a head kick, 1 was a stoppage from ehad punches and the 65kg fight went the distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay_kd Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 i think all in all it was a good show,didn't start on time but they never do, all the fighters walked out of the cage so thats good for the fighters, maybe not so good for people watching. i think all the fighters were new to to the game or have only had a few fights, but they do have to start some where, so i think the quality was not that bad for the event, and yes the testosterone levels were high but thats what you get at these events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I got the impression that the skill levels were low though, which would disappoint if you know what you're looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddylee Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 The cage kickboxing figths were not the greatest skill level at all. Many of the kickboxers did not have a clue on how to low kick, how to block or coutner a low kick or even the basic footwork involved in setting it up. A couple of them seemed to exhibit karate style kicking technique which made me cringe! Having said that their hand skills were not bad Oh and the Head kick KO was impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaFoot Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Which made u cringe - a poor demonstration of a karate kick or that they tries a 'karate style' kick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddylee Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 the ineffective kicking of one or two of the "kickboxers" i.e. rather than the teep, they were using Mae Geri, rather than a full hip twist powerful leg kick, one of them simply used a flicking foot slap type kick hard to exaplin without visual if you get what i mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
