Striking sports is like a video game (fps)

[biscuitsbrah]

I just realized that sports that invoke striking feel like first person shooters to me. They require you to aim, and hit the target.

I was boxing sparring today and felt like I was playing counter strike. It’s such a reaction based sport and game. Quick reaction times is essential for these games.

While something like MMA is a little slower, but you have to worry about so much more. MMA would be like Fortnite if it wasn’t a shitty child’s game. Like you have to worry about hitting your target, but you also have to think about building and other stuff going on.

I don't know bro, I think your striking is just better than mine. My ammy boxing fights felt like playing Mike Tyson's Punch-Out against Mike Tyson. Even when I got back up and won a SD, I got punched in the face way more than in any video game, my head hurt and I felt like total shit.

Shit is also way more fun and frustrating at the same time. Grew up playing it in middle school and got back into it for a couple years in my twenties. Probably my favorite game of all time

Creativity and tactics is like Dota. I play Dota. It translates to combat. You completely focus and try to win. I love using creativity and analyzing myself and the opponent.

Analyzing myself gotta be the weirdest english expression I could of wrote. Does that even make sense in english. Do you guys ever say "I analyzed myself".
What's a better word constrution to use.

CS is GOAT

Anyways on topic: of course reflexes are critical in sparring. But i feel like fighting is also about distance, directionality, where one has it's weight and who can impose all of the above in a round where it fits his game. Sorry if it sounds philosophical BS but i think the above is more important than reflexes potentially.

Positioning and game iq is very important in cs too

Getting older in martial arts is the equivalent of bad internet. Everything lags.
