Winning Tools for the Triathlon
My success in Shidokan came from have a foundation in a few different arts. My fight game consists of: Tae Kwon Do/Karate, Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai and Judo. Tae Kwon Do/Karate gave me the understanding of kicks. Having competed at a high level in Tae Kwon Do, I was able to learn the best distance and timing for kicking an opponent. Never a problem dealing with kickers because of this (the high level TKD guys kicked faster). From boxing, I learned good hands. I fought as an amateur and pro and learned from the best in the business. I trained with Olympian medalists and top ranked pro boxers. One of my pro boxing fights was against Olympic Bronze Medalist, Ray Downing (I lost the decision). So, outside of boxing, I had no worries from opponents (from asian based martial arts arts) and I learned how to throw devastating body punches. From kickboxing (above the waist kickboxing which is box kicking), I learned how to put the hands and feet together fluidly. From Muay Thai, I learned effective clinch and knees and good low kicks. Judo (I got thrown and tapped by world class judoka) fits right in with the clinch game and I've worked with submission wrestling and ju jitsu guys to get the fundamentals to fight from my back. So, with all these experiences, I put them together for a winning strategy. We'll talk about strategy later.
