Do you blog/post something about your poker career? Would be interesting to see the approach to the game from a former esport pro. There is something symbiotic about starcraft and poker...just look at Elky and Grrr. And respect for fighting MMA, that takes some serious cojones ( which i don't have). | ||

I too enjoy and want to begin training in MMA, I have been messing around with BJJ, but have not officially gone to a class yet, but like you said the reflections are an interesting note to take, like you said you should have gone for the Take down which he is a striker so that would have been better, but perhaps that is why he kept his hands very low ( waist) in order to counter that. Btw how are those gloves for grappling? O.o Not as bad as they look. Btw, most BJJ and MMA gyms are very easy going, you should just 'get it over with' and go to a class. It's gonna be way less intimidating than you think. | ||

- Hands need to be higher. Amateur fighters tend to rely too much on the headgear and it becomes a habit for them to keep their hands lower than they should be, which can and will be very dangerous. - Great control with the Thai Plum. The knees were good, but lacked a bit of power because you didn't put enough weight and momentum into it. Instead of trying to have your knee reach the opponent, focus on dragging the opponent down the moment you bring your knee up. Aiming for the solar plexus is easier that way. On the other hand you could always just aim for the liver. - The opponent was open to body shots, and repeated hooks to the body might have made him drop his guard for a right hand to the face. - When going for the overhand right (I believe you did it in one of the early exchanges) you should plant your feet to bring in a whole lot more power to the strike. The strike is like a baseball pitch though, so you need to time it well or you'll get countered badly. - Relatively good head movement and defense, but you need to work more on checking low kicks too. - Good front kicks to the body. If your legs are flexible enough, you can try faking with a front body kick and go for the face. - When you throw your jab, you should bring it straight back on shoulder level so that it's ready to defend any counter attacks to the vulnerable part of your head. You had very good timing on your jab though, and should've tried doubling up on it when circling around. - Try drilling basic combinations like the 1-2, double jab hook, 1-2 uppercut, jab clinch then knee, 1-2 low kick (Solid Snake style) etc. and techniques like the switch kick to the body - To put more weight onto your low kicks, bend your other knee outwards while you throw your kick (it's a muay thai technique). It really really hurts the opponent's outer thigh. - Inside low kicks can disrupt an opponent's rhythm pretty well, but you have to watch out for punches from the enemy while you do it, which is why it's recommended to do it after a jab or hook or combination punch. That's about all I can say really. You put up a good fight, and with more experience you'll learn how and when to relax your shoulders, control your breathing etc. so just keep at it. | ||

- Hands need to be higher. Amateur fighters tend to rely too much on the headgear and it becomes a habit for them to keep their hands lower than they should be, which can and will be very dangerous. I tend to keep my hands too low even without headgear hehe, bad habit. - When going for the overhand right (I believe you did it in one of the early exchanges) you should plant your feet to bring in a whole lot more power to the strike. The strike is like a baseball pitch though, so you need to time it well or you'll get countered badly. I think I know what part of the fight you mean. It was part of the gameplan to use it as a counter but he wasn't as aggressive as I thought he would be so I got impatient/nervous (I guess that's the word, basically jumped the gun). - Good front kicks to the body. If your legs are flexible enough, you can try faking with a front body kick and go for the face. I'm not sure if it's flexible enough to have real power, but I'm working on leg and hip flexibility now so hopefully by next fight I'll have it as an option  Thanks for all the comments, they were helpful! | ||

No of course it's not mean And yes, what WarSame below said is correct. It's also a bit deceptive, I have VERY long legs and long arms. Opponent had a much more compact build for his height. (For reference I'm 180cm, and my reach is something like 185 cm which is quite long, not sure how long my legs are but significantly longer legs than torso) | ||

(For reference I'm 180cm, and my reach is something like 185 cm which is quite long, not sure how long my legs are but significantly longer legs than torso) 180cm = ~ 71 inches = 5'11" 185 cm = ~ 73 inches That's a pretty large reach(although average for a UFC fighter of this height supposedly) and slightly above average height. The other dude is much less lanky. Look at this picture, particularly how far down their sides their elbows are. Some of it is due to posture, but Jinro is just much lankier. | ||
