I think he has great striking but he just wants to stay conservative and not open up on the feet. A lot of fighters who train with him and know about him say he's a very good striker (including Frank Mir and Dominick Cruz)
But of course training and fighting in the octagon are two different things
Easier to strike with cans. he is not a great striker in ufc standard imo
yup I remember Frank Mir kept talking about how shocked he was with Kim's boxing.
He just tries to be much more conservative imo.

Yea, I remember. I wonder how much time kim spends in Las Vegas. He should pick an American camp to work on his striking, but I guess he's confident with Team MAD

When did Mir comment on DHK's hands? I'd love to read the article or view the video.
I think he should try to spend as much time as he can in Thailand working on Muay Thai & weaving it into his game. Thailand is not a horrible flight from South Korea...5 hours.
I think his switch from striking kore to being more conservative has alot to do with him switching camps. He originally trained with Jung shim kwon in Seoul, which was a more striking oriented camp compared to Team MAD.
