First time ever taking a hard body kick from someone who really really knew how to do it? Hurt like fuck. Probably what it feels like getting water-boarded in Guantanamo or something. But no seriously, it actually felt like the most disgusting sensation ever. Thoughts rattling through the head along the lines of, 'Please... just punch me in the face 10 times instead of doing that again' Afterwards you walk home thinking, damn...maybe I should learn how to do that too. So you do. But it takes fucking forever - that's the reason it's not really a thing in Western fighting. It just takes way too long to develop so most people don't bother. Hate to be simplistic about it, but..

Hello Kevin, Thanks for relating At first I pragmatically thought that the fact that the bouts lasted for 5 rounds meant that investing in middle kicks at the beginning was helping to build up opponent tiredness and set up cleaner points/KO's at latter rounds. Finding the center and controlling the center of the body to show dominance is an interesting perspective. Although the risks of getting the leg caught are so high. Which may also be a factor that helps in maintaining the rounds and stakes interesting? Is it the sport that shapes the reward system or the judging system that shape the sports ? Egg or Kitchen question... Mix to that the culture, the audience, the gamblers, the foreigners ... Cheers, Ced
