bushido_man96 Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 I stumbled upon a few videos of this guy, Steven Vick, who is very impressive to me. Love his style and kicking ability, and he looked descent with his hands, too.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNjGw8j7EgE&list=PLon1GNgZPzV4y3jAy9Z95lJaW1rz8vn3T&index=4&feature=plpp_video https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
Kuma Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 "Superkick" Vick is probably the greatest Aussie kickboxer of all time. He definitely needs more recognition. I only learned about him myself maybe a year ago if that.
bushido_man96 Posted October 21, 2012 Author Posted October 21, 2012 I love his spin hook kick, and the way he used repeat kicks, too.That last bit where he was punching that guy behind over his head/shoulder gave me a chuckle, too. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
DWx Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Nice. I wasn't aware of him either.Loving the spin hooks and back kicks; would not want to be on the receiving end of them. Interesting to see also the difference between his WTF fighting style and his kickboxing style. Did he start in TKD then switch over?

bushido_man96 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Posted October 22, 2012 I think he did start with TKD, and then moved over. But if you look at the clips where he is TKD fighting with vests on, its pretty clear he wasn't afraid to make contact then, either. I think there are some differences between how he fought then and when he move to Kickboxing, but he definitely fights with a TKD flair. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
bushido_man96 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Posted October 22, 2012 Just watch this fight with Paul Grima. Side kicks, front kicks, spin hook and jumping side kicks; so much fun to watch. He can take a hit, as well. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com

He's switching stance and covering ground a lot more in the TKD fights so he can use his legs but in the kickboxing he's still moving but a lot more grounded.That was a good fight you posted, can see he was the one in control of it.
