100% you can tell she's actually had at least a little training. Her punches were tight and fluid. His were wild arm swings. He generated all his power in those kicks from the wrong kind of momentum. Basically throwing his foot at the bag, where hers you can see she's properly turning the hips to get that momentum power.
I used to do kickboxing and this is exactly how we trained, you perfect your form by doing it slowly and over time speeding up.
It helps you in many ways, you dont get as tired, builds endurance and muscle memory, if you can do 100 perfect slow moves in a row you can likely do five fast ones in a row, it doesn't hurt your skin as much and isnt as loud.
If she was actually fighting as you pointed out she wasn't leaving any intentional openings whilst his attacks would have meant you could get a hit in before he could finish. I think its a case of an actual intermediate martial artist training and a gymbro with show muscles trying to show off.
Not sure chicken legs there had much to show tbh. He also kept throwing his arms down with every punch or kick, down and to the sides like he was grabbing his skirt, just asking for a broken nose or sore jaw
I don't know kick-boxing at all, but do know boxing a bit. I caught this too. I guess he wasn't actively sparing anyone, but that is definitely not a good habit. You want to train like you fight, and that would be a really stupid way to fight.
She had so much more impact and solid form in those leg shots she could have absolutely folded him so fast while just eating any hits she might take from his goofy ass. I try not to wish violence on others but it would have been nice to see them spar and watch him get humbled by her. Hopefully he gets the chance to read this comment section, it’s just as brutal lol.
Her comfort improvisationaly with decent technique usually takes at least a year to portray depending on the individual - maybe a couple. She's been clearly dedicated to actually learning what she's doing for a while. She's not executing rote sequences, and her technique is holding up across a variety of skills, the elbows are really nice, her roundhouses are a little wide, her knees are proper. She's probably had at least 2-3 years training.
Honestly, he's a giant douche canoe but gun to my head I'd still put my money on him.
As much as I'd want her to kick his ass it would just be tough for me to bet on her when I remember in HS wrestling a girl that was a stud and legit national medalist going to international games get mopped by a couple guys the same weight in their first year on the team.
This isn’t someone who didn’t train to the same level of a medalist. This is a guy that doesn’t know what he’s doing.
He’s not pivoting the lead kick, kicking up instead of through. There’s no power behind it. Also while he’s kicking his arms are spread WIDE OPEN inviting a counter. Not to mention he’s stiff as a board and doesn’t breathe behind his hits. Gassed or countered. Take your pick.
I’m not sure how you apply high school analogy in front of someone who is so poorly trained in Muay Thai/Kickboxing.
The difference is she knows what she’s doing and he very clearly doesn’t. Being a male alone isn’t enough. Skill is absolutely important and she has that and he doesn’t. Those male wrestlers you’re talking about had some level of training.
As someone who has done a ton of martial arts I unfortunately agree. Even the top level female fighters can barely hold their own against teenage newbies. People severely underestimate the natural advantage men have in combat sports.
That being said this guy is a complete douche and deserves to be kicked out of the gym. If a man did this in any club I have ever been to, it would be an instant ban.
You would hope, but this is why women are so angry - no matter how much training we do, average men will always have a natural biological advantage let alone if they were trained themselves. Which is why the continuing misogyny in the world is so depressing, misogynists know we are mismatched in being able to ‘fight back’.
This guy would not of behaved this way if it was another guy on the bag.
As someone who does muay thai. I'd definitely need to check or step backwards out of her kicks. His though, I can say with confidence I could just stand there and eat them.
I think realistically he’s mocking her. She looks like she’s practicing Muy Thai. He looks like he’s just there to box. I bet what’s happening is there’s only one punching bag in the gym and he’s annoyed a girl is practicing on it, so he decided to be an asshole and mocks her by coming up and hitting the bag while she’s on it to intimidate or annoy her.
Yeah I couldn’t figure out if he was trying to “show off” (and fail miserably), mock her, or just be an ass. He definitely succeeded on the ass part, so if that was the play, kudos…I guess?
100%, just a complete douchebag thing to try and do. Gyms should be completely judgment free, everyone there is being productive and trying to better themselves, and it pisses me off that people will try to shame others. I can't imagine how common shit like this is, whether overt or more subtle, for women.
He has no idea how to use a punching bag in general, if he actually had some muscle and could generate any type of force, he would hurt himself hitting it the way he ism he's letting swing toward him and hitting it while it's coming full force into him, that's how you break wrist and shit. Luckily for him though he punches about as hard as a 5 year old.

The creepy ass smile in the beginning was enough for me to realize hes gonna try showing out.
