I don't know myself(in regards to fighting tatics and goals), but I'd certainly like to find out and I intend to. However for now, how did you find out what type of fighter you are?

Hmmm... partly from opinions of trusted others, and looking for patterns in video footage of matches I've been in as well as general class training. Counting the number of times I prefer certain sequences ect.. how often I like to get close to my opponent for a take down, arm lock and so on. I don't have enough footage to make a real assessment, but I have to agree with the results as surprising as some may be. We all do things out of habit so video is a really good tool.

I dont compete very often anymore since I stopped Muay Thai, however usage of a video I'm sure is a sound plan. I just wish I had more experiance to look back upon.

And to follow up, what is your conclusion to your thoughts about this topic?

I've done a fair amount of sports analysis, especially with some of the new cameras where you can slow it down significantly.

To look at energy expenditures and general performance patterns a basic miniDV camera works really well.

For high speed analyis I use the Basler A600 monochrome with a firewire enabled laptop.

Some basic set up allows you to calculate velocities with markers but mostly just being able to see what's happening is a major step forward.

Unfortunately normal cameras don't capture images fast enough to give you really clear pictures of high speed motions.

I mean, look at what ever you have. Obviously we can't evaluate elbows with 99% of the footage... I would run out of partners really fast.. mostly because they would stay away lol. :)

Let's see. Since I don't fight, I guess the style would be to kill... Or, are you talking about Kumite in tournaments and such??? Then it's a whole nother story! :)

I see fighting as when I spar with friends, so we go full contact in every aspect. So fighting for me is a tougher sparing, thats how I see it. But yea, I know what your getting at.
