K1 Fighting

[Dannywayoflife]

Well this saturday i will put my 2 BHR's through their toughest test to date! I some how managed to agree to jumping in to make a old mates retirement fight happen as numerous opponents had pulled out. So on 10 days notice i found myself agreeing to fighting him for the English K1 Heavy Weight belt. Not the smartest move of my life as ive not trained specifically for this but ive been training generally all year and id rather die on my feet than live on my knees. I will of course let you know how i get on!

Seriously though, best of luck, I hope it goes well and look forward to reading the report.

better to live 1 day as a lion than a lifetime as a lamb my friend    I think it will be therapeutic for me actually.

Nice, K1 is no joke. Good luck. That is the ultimate test for the HRs. You will be kicking other peoples chins,quads that's no joke.

Thank you Larry, mostly i will be kicking quads and maybe ribs  , Be interesting to see how these BHR's hold out throwing full power kicks but also shin blocking them..........

Thanks low wish I could have trained hard! But I've trained most of the year with boxing judo bjj etc so my over all fitness is ok but 5 rounds is going to HURT! 

[Dannywayoflife]

Went the distance, i thought i won the majority of the rounds but they gave him the decision, still hes a tough tough guy i broke his ribs in the third with a body shot and he didnt go down. Great war Hips fine BTW and i threw some MASSIVE leg kicks and shin blocked some big kicks hips zero pain at all.....

[Quig]

Great job! It's incredible what these fancy new hips are capable of. Keep up the good work.

Thanks I think come the new year when things have settled a little in my life I will try and get down to my old weight of 80-82kilos and have a few more fights before retiring all over again    the only thing I'm nervous of doing is hard bag and pad work with the kicks. When you kick a persons body you don't get that massive shock wave that you get from a bag or pads. But I enjoyed it. 'Y mate who I fought sent me a message yesterday saying it was the hardest fight of his 100+ fight career and he's never been hit so hard in all his life    so there's life in this old dog yet....

That's great Danny. I did thai boxing for like 10 years. Yes I would be scared now to kick a swinging 100+ pound bag. I guess I feel fortunate I was able to enjoy it for those years, I don't think I want to push the HR to its limit.

[Dannywayoflife]

Yeah its the only thing im uneasy doing..... Ive thrown a few 100% low kicks into a banana bag with zero ill effects but im not sure if throwing 3-400 a day into them like i used to would be the best idea.......
 I think ill fight again if im honest ill just have to figure a way to train around that..........
