[QUOTE="Saweeep, post: 634857, member: 7186"] Ok. The only thing I will say is that if Boxing strikes were not the very best kind of striking we wouldn't have seen Karateka, upon the formation of Full Contact Karate (what we now call Kickboxing) switch to boxing punches. The same thing has happened in Thailand with the adaptation of western boxing into Muay Thai (as a result of westerners putting them on their asses continually a couple of decades ago with boxing strikes). Hell, I'd get a master Karateka in to train my K-1 fighters if I thought [i]anything[/i] would give them an edge. Look, I respect traditional martial arts as much as any student of their style but to say that anything but Western Boxing is the most effective form of punching is ridiculous. [/QUOTE]
