Honestly, fighters who train under International Tennis Federation rules transition into almost any kickboxing style—from semi-contact all the way up to K1—without breaking a sweat. They end up being nightmare opponents because their footwork is elite, they move incredibly fast, and their entries are just explosive. Plus, those rotational strikes? Deadly. They can catch you with a nasty knockout out of nowhere. Their one real weakness is usually hand technique (they aren't big on hooks or uppercuts), clinch work, and low kicks...
rustyangler02 said:I don't get what criteria they even use to decide a winner in WTF... those WTF practitioners just rely on this nonsense guard and being able to soak up hits, whereas ITF guys can actually go toe-to-toe with kickboxers. Just look at the fighters who started with ITF basics and absolutely crushed it in other sports: Zelg Galešić, Thomas "King of taekwondo " Barada, and Serkan "the Turkish Samurai" Yilmaz. I honestly haven't seen anyone at that level coming out of the WTF crowd.
