Have you looked into the non-traditional forms of striking, such as hammer fists and elbow strikes? I often suspect these moves are more ‘natural’ than the ones often espoused by modern boxers and mma participants. Anyway, thanks for giving me something to think about.
Many modern masters of martial arts systems know that long-range fighting (such as kickboxing) isn’t effective against anyone with a bit of skill in grappling.
That’s why close-range or clinching techniques like elbow strikes are worth knowing - they are in between boxing and groundfighting, wrestling, or clinch fighting and dirty boxing.
But mostly what I learned from your blog is that I need to practice more. Thanks for the food for thought.

I disagree highly and I hope you’ll take me off your mailing list. I can barely see straight, I’m so angry about what you wrote.
