..now that is quite cool, given he didn't seem to put any effort into the strike

Spinning backfist or spinning elbow, hard to tell. Nice!

Looked like the back fist to me- hard to see it looping in, coming at that angle. Well done by the CLF guy.

I still fail to se the flavor of a specific stle when everyone is simply trying to kickbox with each other. Why not just train to be a kickboxer? That way you can focus on development for how you're allowed to use it.

I think it was the entire forearm+elbow.
btw. isn't the spinning reverse elbow illegal in muay thai?

i agree that its very strange... even stranger that it apparently does not bother their coach/teacher. if you study french, even if you're bad, you should be able to say some words that sounds like it, but its all coming up gibberish.

personally, i think silat practitioners (even beginners) but a lot of cma ppl to shame. you can see that they're are not real advanced, but as sure as daylight its silat


mumbo jumbo dun make you a cma fighter, fighting like one does

how? kickboxing is a style, so you can compare it with other styles.

I don't really buy that.

muay thai looks different than karate; bjj looks different than greco roman.

@Ian look for my opinion here viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12349&start=0
It really depends what you mean by ´kickboxing`. To me kickboxing is most notably an agreed ruleset. The ruleset determines also the more succesful techniques, but within a ruleset you still have style differences.
