Great Display Of Clinch Fighting Utilizing Knees and Elbows (Anderson Silva)
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010Anderson Silva to me is modern day version of a Bruce Lee. His skill in fighting is currently unparalleled.
He embodies the philosophical tenets of JKD (Simplicity, Longest Weapon to the Nearest Target, Efficiency, Adaptability and Always Think of Hitting.)
He has mastered proficiency in all ranges of combat (kicking, punching, clinch fighting or trapping range and finally grappling.) JKD practioners take note of this individual there is no denying that he phenomenal, he is not a fly by night, he seems to be getting better with time. As a side note no one is infallible even Anderson, yet he is still great! Your thoughts?
