Rotty. It was a good reply. And I did not expect everyone to agree with me completly. As with any subject, No one sees eye to eye on everything. And my opinion was pretty general. Not being in depth about each style. But in general I still hold to my opinion. Watching the early UFC's, I see that the ones whp come in the octagon with the traditional mentallity lost quickly. The others who claimed traditional styles, abandoned the strict form of the styles as the opponent closed in, and it turned into slapping bitch style. With the exception of Keith Hackney I believe. He is the only one who actually used his style to any degree.( Kenpo Karate I believe). Also having been a kickboxer and observing many bouts, I see that the traditional guys get a dose of reality once in the ring with a Muay Thai boxer.
