This guy is amazing. Not only is he effective, but he's a showman as well. Nothing's better than seeing him nail a spinning side kick, or do a cartwheel onto a guy who's on the ground.
But he never seems to reveal where he gets his kicks from. I've noticed he has a huge follow-through in his roundhouses that look like Muay Thai, but he also uses side kicks, spinning techniques, etc. that would look more at home in a karate dojo.
Perhaps he's just taken his favourite techniques from various styles. Either way, he's a great fighter and a lot of fun to watch.

| considering he trained with mo, I'm sure he's done some thai boxing. I'd bet he's done some karate before also. However, some styles of karate - family styles, and also kyokushin - maybe others, but I haven't seen it - have a roundhouse similar to the thai version. |
