I want to fight and move like wonderboy

I want to know more about wonderboy.

Anyone have some links to some of his fights?

What can you tell me about wonderboy's fighting style?

>>1174305

Its based in karate. Wikipedia says that that his black belt is in kempo karate, but when I try to look up kempo fights they don't seem to be full contact or look like how wonderboy fights. Maybe i"m not looking at the right videos

He maintains his distance with his opponents. He bounces back and forth, stays light on his feet. Hands down when he's not in the pocket. He's known for his high kicks, and almost always throws one in with his combinations.

He's explosive as hell and the welterweight division as a whole doesn't really know how to deal with him since his style is so unorthodox.

Here is a link to his last fight with hendricks

And here is his second to last fight where he wins by spinning hook kick. Highlights, couldn't find the full fight:

Its ridiculous how explosive and powerful he is with his feet.

Also he's 15-1 in the UFC and 56-0 in kickboxing

He's an absolute monster

His style is very similar to an ITF taekwondo style, have a look at some of those fights

why do they adopt that wide stance? Is it because the point system incentivizes kicks?

Only 1 point for punches to head/body but 2 points for body kick and 3 points for head kick

>>1175312

what is 'heavy contact' and why is it considered a foul?

jesus christ just watching him kick hendricks in the head was hilarious

ITF is arguably the best TKD and vastly superior to WTF

do you have a link that explains ITF sparring rules

>>ITF's full contact, WTF's point

That's not true:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Taekwon-Do_Federation#Sparring

It seems there are different ITF rulesets, so you'd have to say which ITF you are talking about

>karate and taekwondo
Taekwondo is just Kararte with a focus on kicking.

From Wikipedia a la
>>1176045
>The International Taekwon-Do Federation's sparring rules are similar to the WTF's rules, >but differ in several aspects.
>Hand and foot attacks to the head are allowed.[9]
>The scoring system is: 1 Point for: Punch to the body or head.
>2 Points for: Kick to the body.
>3 Points for: Any kick to the head.

>A continuous point system is utilized in ITF competition, where the fighters are allowed to continue after scoring a technique. Full-force blows are not allowed, and knockouts result in a disqualification of the attacker; although these rules vary between ITF organizations. At the end of two minutes (or some other specified time) the competitor with more scoring techniques wins.

>Fouls in ITF sparring include heavy contact, attacking a fallen opponent, leg sweeping, holding/grabbing, intentional attack to a target other than allowed (for example below the belt, attacks to the back).[10] (cont)

And yeah, your right

>what is 'heavy contact' and why is it considered a foul?
Pretty sure it's the same thing as "excessive contact". Being far more forceful and intentionally attempting to do far more dfamage than necessary. This being sparring aside of course.

>(cont)ITF competition sparring rounds are 2 minutes and in national and international levels of competition they hold two rounds each 2 minutes with a one-minute rest in between. Certain rules are no strikes below the belt, no elbow strikes, brawling, no falling down, no going outside of the ring, hit to the groin and knee strike are not allowed. The ring is a 9 metre by 9 metre (8 x 8 metre optional) ring marked by square mats or tape instead of a traditional style kickboxing rings with ropes. It has no sides allowing the fighter to move out of bounds. Whenever a fighter creates an infraction of the rules the centre referee will issue a warning to the fighter who created the infraction. 3 warnings equals a minus point. If a fighter uses excessive contact, he or she will be given a foul, which is an automatic minus point ; three fouls in a bout results in disqualification. ITF taekwon-do is fought in continuous point sparring. Four judges score the fights in each of the corners in the square ring. After the fight, a judge votes for which ever fighter has the most points and a winner is declared. In the case of a draw the fighters go to a one-minute overtime round. If there is another draw the fighters go to a sudden death round where the fighter who scores first is declared the winner.
