The fight is in the UK on the 22nd February. The bout will be fought under K-1 rules at Wolverhampton Civic Hall. I don't know anything about the fighters.

 

I would go, except that it's a little far for me to go and get back in time for work the next day because I don't drive.

 

The UK K-1 doesn't even seem to have its own website or advertise outside of muay thai gyms. A few posters in major cities or organising coach trips from major cities wouldn't hurt K-1's popularity in the UK...

In the ring, the main difference is the Wing Chun fighter has to

 

wear glove that to a certain extent avoid 2 things:

 

a) Sensitivity of palm that generate from "Sticky hand"

 

b) Normal using of fist because glove block this

 

But I can say Wing Chun's elbow force that generating help

 

neck wrestling in Muay Thai.

 

I have been playing with a guy who practised WC & MT and

 

lighter than me 20 Lbs has an upper hand on me when

 

doing neck wrestling.

 

Hope you guy understand what I am saying

Darkness grants me pair of dark black eye,

Yet I determine to look for Brightness

well, sticky hands isn't actually in the hands.

 

it's more about understanding and knowing what to do when you feel pressure on your forearms (bridge).

 

'chi sau'='sticky hands' but you have to remember that in chinese, hand and arm are both called 'sau'.

post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are.
