Karate - The Original MMA


Wastelander

Recommended Posts

Anyone watching MMA McGregor fights lately? Deep wide stances. Non telegraphing punches without cocking, using hip and shoulder whips to generate power. And dare I say it... as the commentator described, "piston" like punching.

What else does McGregor do? Well, he likes to use his lead hand to grab on to his opponent's lead hand for control. Sounds familiar? Karate techniques are alive and well in MMA. I won't go into the TKD kicks that he uses.
