EPTYour overall style was pretty entertaining to watch. Definitely look forward to seeing your next fight and hearing about your training progress.
Is there a tentative timeline for your next bout, or is it just something that comes when it comes?

There's another org that does amateur events, Road FC, but my gym are partnered with Korean Top Team, and they run/are part of running Top FC so I think I can only do Top FC events. | ||

However, now I'm convinced you should have remained "FrozenArbiter"; having that as your pseudonym in MMA would have been interesting.  | ||

I think if you would have continued going for Muay Thai clinches as you did at the start you would have destroyed him. He had no idea what to do against it as you said yourself. After finding a weakness that early I think you really had a lot of time to exploit it further. Also you never talked about your ground game. It seemed like you knew what you were doing from your back somewhat but I was wondering if you had practiced your top game. He was standing pretty straight up so I think you could have dove at him a few times for some easy takedown points and if you had anything to follow up on the ground even better. You had a good reach advantage so he would be pretty helpless if you could posture up for some ground and pound. Also I totally agree with you gaining some muscle mass. He was so much larger than you around the chest and lats that he had a huge strength advantage in clinches. Would also make your striking more intimidating even if your technique isn't the greatest. Cheers and good luck in your next one. | ||

After finding a weakness that early I think you really had a lot of time to exploit it further. Yeah, after I watched the video I immediately thought "huh, guess I should have done more of that" :D While fighting it was all pretty blank tho, just tried to remember to remember to avoid some of my common pitfalls. Bet it gets easier to think on your feet with more experience. Also you never talked about your ground game.

You had a good reach advantage so he would be pretty helpless if you could posture up for some ground and pound. I was supposed to be using a different clinch grip and work takedowns from there (one underhook and wrist control, knees then single and repeat if stuffed), but I blanked on it in the fight for some reason. My top position is OK. On the plus side: + I transition very smoothly between side/mount + I'm good at passing (by MMA standards) Downside: - I don't have that good top pressure, so I think my full mount is a little meh vs explosive people. Overall I just sort of blanked a bit on takedowns. On April 28 2014 11:11 Disregard wrote: Are you fluent in Korean Jinro? No, not even close. | ||

One thing I noticed in the comparison pic was that he likes to stand more sideways, whereas your body is mostly facing forward. I wanted to mention aikido. I don't know what its place in MMA is, or even how practical it is, but maybe you could use some of those principles for takedowns. Your arms are really long, so maybe those types of takedowns would come easier for you? Also it might fit in with your gameplan of staying back and using your range. When they close, you could attempt one of these maneuvers. I think if you can just pick up a bit of speed, a lot of your problems will go away. Fighting! | ||

BTW I've been in many street fights, never did any fighting for sport. A good friend of mine is an MMa fighter, thinking I should jump in the ring myself one of these days. You've inspired me good sir. I've actually only lost 1 street fight, I got hit from behind and the punch landed right in my temple, I got hit by a guy who was easily 250+ lbs. I never saw it coming. My head hit the bar and I went nighty night. I was fighting someone else when this happened. Every time I've 1v1'd, I was the last man standing, although it has cost me a few teeth. Funny thing is, I've never started a fight, and I've found most guys are cowards. I'd say I've been in about 8 fights that started with someone trying to sucker punch me. The only time it worked was that time I got hit from behind. Oh, and about your arms getting tired, there are some good exercises that can help with that, I can't remember what the actual name of this type of exercising is called, but basically you hold your arms over your head for as long as you can. Then try and spar/do pushups, ect. Just make sure you don't do it more than once or twice a week, give your arms time to recover each time. Rope climbing and swimming without using your feet are great as well. (I was in the Army for a little while, did a lot of crazy workouts) Another tip is get used to adrenaline rushes, so you can learn to keep your head clear when it happens. A brisk slap in the face is usually enough to trigger one. Have a training partner do this before you spar. (you'll know when it's in your system because you should get some trembling in your hands when you try to hold them still, as well as you will kind of "feel" all of your senses being heightened and your reactions get much faster) I've also found that when taking someone down from a clinch or just picking them up and slamming them, it helps to let your self be really angry for that moment (just make sure you don't lose your head) I usually let out a growl when I slam someone and then immediately go back into "thinking mode" So much of winning a fight is about not making mistakes, recognizing and taking advantage of their mistakes and weakness, and knowing when to go all in (letting all your rage out and finishing them off) It's a lot like starcraft in the mental regard, however, I feel I can access all my strength easier when I'm a little bit pissed off, when you are trying to pick up and control the movement of 200lbs, you need all the power you can muster. last thing, you seem to be throwing a lot of kicks off balance. This is something I've always been quick to punish, stick to low kicks to the legs to control distance until you get more comfortable with high kicks.When they try and kick I can usually just jab them or land a cross to the head before the kick lands, removing any power behind their kick, (it also never hurts to make them a little gunshy about trying to kick you in the head) I don't know if its legal, but a trick I've used a few times is to step forward onto their front foot and punching them in the face. Their reaction is always to try and step back and you stopping that can throw them off balance and give you an easy power shot to the head because their arms will usually flail a little as they try and balance after leaning back but not being able to step back. I step in their forward foot with my left foot and punch with my right (I'm right handed) | ||

I've been meaning to get into martial arts all my life but never really did. There's a few places in my city (Jecheon, small city) but the MMA place is a little far but I think if I were to improve my cardio then I should start becoming more active. | ||
