Same here. I can appreciate Karatake, but prefer Muay Thai's style. That said, you can't beat it for discipline.
Mike, good footwork, style and a better reach gave you a good advantage over the first guy in the point sparring. vs the guy in the continous sparring, he seemed a bit more aggressive than you and I was a bit worried about the low hands too. Beren - you gotta remember than kicks to the groin are illegal in Australia (at least from memory). It doesn't stop them from accidently happening, but most fighters do genuinely try and avoid groin kicks. In Muay Thai anything is fair game (that's if you're not doing kick boxing where knees and elbows are disallowed that is).
Good stuff Mike, enjoyed watching the sparring and kata.
