Bullying is too good at martial arts (120)
“Breaking the Dojo?”
“Why is Dojo Breaking So Old School?”
“It’s not like that, but why is someone like you…”
‘Stinger’ training team leader Joel Khalid looked quite puzzled.
The one who opened the gym door was none other than Gilbert Johnson, the head of ‘Team EKA’ and former middleweight champion.
“It’s been a while, Khalid.”
“Haha, please contact me.”
Gilbert Johnson and Joel Khaled shake hands happily.
After that, some giant appeared hesitantly.
Some players of ‘Stinger’ recognized him just by looking at his face.
“Isn’t that Ryan Van Classen?”
“Does it seem right?”
When his name was mentioned, Van Classen scratched his curly hair and bowed his head in embarrassment.
Ryan Van Classen.
After turning the Dutch kickboxing world upside down, he won 5 consecutive victories in the PLF with only hitting.
Despite the earnest courtship of ‘Team Hammer’ Nicholas Armstrong, he is a Dutch prospect who chose ‘Team EKA’ and became a disciple of Gilbert Johnson.
“The fact that he even brought Gilbert Ryan…”
“That’s right. It’s not just about drinking.”
Saying that, Gilbert Johnson glanced in the direction of Integrity.
“Isn’t it easy to find a sparring partner for the Khalid Championship?”
“What is it?”
“It may be a little sudden, but can we be that sparring partner?”
“…yes? us?”
“okay. Ryan and me here.”
“!”
“I know it’s a little rude to come and say this out of nowhere, but…”
“No no! Not rude at all!”
Khalid looked towards the flawless side with a smile on his face.
“Absolutely what do you think!”
“…Of course it’s good.”
Khalid nodded as if satisfied.
It was a proposal that wouldn’t be bad for Mugyeol.
Gilbert Johnson’s experience, who went 1-1 with Israel Adebayo and fought over 20 fights in the WFC alone, will certainly come in handy.
In addition, Ryan Van Classen, who is 197 cm tall and nicknamed ‘Kick Ghost’, has no shortage of ‘virtual Adebayo’ at least when it comes to kicks.
There was no reason to refuse, but I wondered why the two suddenly found the Stinger.
“Then why did you come here all of a sudden?”
“There is no particular reason. After losing to Haojun Lee, I needed a new motivation. In the meantime, I watched your game. There is no other guy who fights like you these days.”
“thank you.”
“And this guy here…”
said Gilbert Johnson, patting Ryan Van Classen on the back.
“When I said I was going on an expedition with the Stinger, they immediately followed. Can’t you follow me too?”
“okay.”
“I don’t know about wrestling, but if it’s a kickboxing game, they say I can’t lose to you. Did he say that even after seeing Fuhaha Li Haojun fainting?”
Van Klassen continued to scratch his head as Gilbert Johnson spoke.
“This child is pure prudence. You’ll know when you go up to the Octagon later.”
“Hmm.”
“What’s with that look of surprise?”
“yes. I thought Mr. Johnson picked Van Classen and brought him.”
“hmm? Why did you think that?”
“Ryan Van Klassen is a suitable player as a hypothetical Adebayo.”
“Haha, then you’re saying I’m not good enough?”
“It’s not a matter of skill, it’s because the style is different…”
“Well, from the outside, it’s true.”
Saying that, Gilbert Johnson placed his chin on Innocent’s shoulder.
“But there must be something I can teach you.”
“…?”
“Let’s find out about that later in the Octagon.”
Saying that, Gilbert Johnson gave Mugyeol a slight wink.
what do you teach me?
I was puzzled by the integrity, but Joel Khalid, the training team leader, had a very excited expression.
“In a way, this is a chance that came about thanks to my personal connections. If Gilbert and I weren’t close friends, would you have come here on an expedition!”
That’s how the warm-up session under Khalid’s direction ended.
After completing the second warm-up with light technical drills and stretching, the sparring session finally began.
The highlight of the day was, of course, sparring with ‘EKA’ guests Van Classen and Gilbert Johnson.
Van Classen, who was shy throughout the workout, changed his eyes as soon as he put on the 12 oz glove and kick guard.
Gilbert Johnson, who served as Van Klassen’s cornerman, threw a subtle warning message toward Mugyeol.
“You’d better be careful. As I said earlier, this guy is a very introverted guy.”
“…I think I know it even if I don’t say it.”
I can tell just by looking at the bloody expression on his face.
Ryan Van Classen came here with the mindset of really ‘breaking the seal’.
Of course, sparring before the competition is mostly done with mass sparring, but the story is a little different when you wear a kick guard and 12 oz gloves like now.
Beep-.
As soon as the buzzer sounded, Van Classen moved toward the center of the octagon with light movements.
uh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
“Oops-.”
The first thing that came flying was a devastating middle kick.
It was barely guarded, but it was such a destructive kick that the hard shinbone could be felt even beyond the kick guard.
However, it is not only the destructive power that is surprising.
Even though he didn’t step back after the kick, Van Classen was still far away.
‘Are you saying the kick I threw there was right?’
A truly embarrassing range.
“Watch out for perfection! That’s Adebayo’s kick!”
“Damn that bastard, one dirty kick!”
Like most Dutch kickboxers, Ryan Van Klasen has a fraudulent kick reach.
And Israel Adebayo is also one of the strongest in the WFC heavyweight division when it comes to kick reach.
With incredibly long legs and a kick that stretches with a flexible and elastic pelvis, he has sunk many top contenders, including Gilbert Johnson.
“Don’t give me angles! Turn aside!”
“okay-.”
I tried to go back as Khalid said, but it was really difficult to step on the side step to avoid the 198cm giant.
Whoa oh oh oh oh-.
Cage cutting with a powerful high kick.
After locking Mugyeol in the corner, Van Klassen hit Mugyeol’s guard with a light jab.
‘It’s annoying’
I tried to hit the pull counter the moment I retrieved the last jab.
Shu Woo-wook-.
At that moment, another blow came.
“!”
Wow-.
An elaborate front kick (front kick) that squeezes under the guard.
If he hadn’t closed the guard quickly, his jaw would have been properly removed.
Even the front kick is a kick whose power cannot be reduced even with a kick guard.
“It’s good to be serious Ryan, but keep the minimum manners!”
Gilbert Johnson’s worried voice came from the corner, but I was rather grateful for the integrity.
The front kick that penetrates the guard is the signature of legend Anderson Silva, and Israel Adebayo also uses it very well.
“good.”
Moo Kyul moved his feet this time, wiping his slightly chapped lips with a glove.
Swoop-.
When he showed signs of exiting the corner with a step, Van Classen kept his unstoppable movement in check with a jabbing jab again.
Fight against each other-.
Although it has a long range, it is not a threatening fist.
He parryed lightly and put a heavy fist into his body.
Whoops-!
“Huup-.”
Suddenly, a gasping sound came from Van Classen’s mouth.
When his legs stopped, Mugyeol shifted up two gears and started punching.
Grappling would make the game a bit easier, but why?
The way to always be flawless was to destroy the area the opponent was most confident in.
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh–!!
After a sharp rear-hand straight, a devastating leg kick in a clockwise direction.
Van Classen showed his grit by responding with a middle kick even while his leg was shaking.
oh oh oh oh–!!
A feast of kicks like flames that followed.
“Shouldn’t this be dried?”
“are you okay. You have a full kick guard.”
However, despite the kick guard, the sound of the two kicking was brutal.
This time, a flawless left-footed high kick spewed fire.
uh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
The flexible and sharp high kick went up to the chin of the 198cm giant.
Staggering-.
Van Classen’s body staggered after receiving considerable damage.
Taking advantage of that gap, Mugyeol burrowed into his chest, but Van Classen showed grit and hugged Mugyeol.
Reckless clinch However, Van Classen’s gigantic size was effective in blocking his flawless movements.
‘How do I do this?’
Of course, there was a workaround.
Bend and straighten your legs, jump instantly and hit Van Classen’s chin with your shoulder at the same time.
“Show Shoulder Attack!”
With this, it is possible to inflict head damage even at very close range.
In an instant, the distance between Mugyeol and Van Classen widened, creating an elbow shot opportunity, but Mugyeol did not use the elbow.
No matter how hard you try, it’s sparring, but if you hit an elbow, it’s not that bad.
Instead of throwing elbows, he used short punches from a distance.
The elbow is self-sealing.
However, Mugyeol had a punching technique that allowed him to hit the opponent even with the slightest gap.
Whew woo hoo woo bu bu bu bu bu bu bu bu bu boo–!!
After a couple of short body shots, the short upper shot spreads further, followed by a lightning hook-upper-hook combination.
Even with a 12 ounce glove, it is difficult to stand still if Mugyeol receives such a series of punches.
After catching Van Classen’s neck clinch, who lost his balance, he kicked off his leg and lightly took it down.
Kwadadang-.
“end! You worked hard this far!”
At the same time, Joel Khaled announced the end of sparring.
“Whoa-.”
It was a sparring that ended with an uncontested victory, but Van Classen’s kick reach was definitely beyond imagination.
Adebayo. That guy has a kick like this too.
However, it was Gilbert Johnson and Ryan Van Classen who were more surprised.
Gilbert Johnson clapped with his jaw wide open as if moved.
“Great, really great! Punch skills are almost art, right?”
“It was nothing.”
“Tell me completely honestly. What percent of your power are you using now?”
“It was pretty serious.”
“Do not be ridiculous! You could have worked harder!”
“Ah no.”
Mugyeol smiled humbly, but Van Classen knew best that he hadn’t competed with Top Gear.
Van Classen approached Mugyeol and bowed his head in greeting.
“Thank you.”
“Oh yes.”
Korean greetings? He was a very polite friend.
After exchanging greetings with a bow, I shook hands with him.
“Why didn’t you play the grappling game?”
“Because I wanted to try kickboxing with you once.”
“Did you deliberately not hit the elbow at the end?”
“Isn’t it kind of like blowing an elbow in sparring?”
“I see…”
Van Klassen bowed his head once more, as if impressed.
“thank you. I learned a lot!”
“That’s right.”
“May I ask for guidance from now on?”
“Haha then. I am fine.”
…At first I thought he was a strange guy, but he is a guy who is full of manners.
After finishing the sparring with Van Classen like that.
After a short break, the next sparring opponent put on his gloves and kick guard.
Former WFC middleweight champion Gilbert Johnson.
Even though it was sparring, I felt a strange spirit in the way he prepared for the fight.
“Absolutely, I wish I could be of some help to you.”
“Yes, thank you.”
“Please take care of me too.”
The two of them lightly exchanged glove touches and then went back to their respective corners.
Beep-.
When Joel Khaled sounded the buzzer, the second round of sparring finally began.
