The UG Blog is proud to showcase the work of guest blogger Lawrence Kenshin. His focus is on striking, notably the application of striking in MMA. Here he does a breakdown – his longest ever – of the first American Kickboxing vs. Muay Thai bout that was broadcast to a wide audience.
The vlog was inspired by a piece at MuayThaiPros.com that detailed the importance of Rick Roufus vs. Changpuek Kietsongrit.
I really changed my opinion after I saw my brother Rick fight Thailand’s Chuengpuek,” said famed MMA trainer Duke Roufus later. “I did an interview after the fight and put down the leg kicks, and said that they did not require much skill. I went to a few seminars that used leg kicks and it changed my mind very quickly.
