When I watch any fight (boxing, thai boxing, mma), what I enjoy most is seeing how each fighter uses their own fighting style, with all the strengths and weakness that goes with it, against another fighting style. In essence I enjoy watching the battle of fighting styles. By 'style' I don't mean discipline (e.g. muay thai). I mean the fighters own preferred method of fighting. For example, Kenny Florian has a counter-striking style so when his opponent is aggressive then he does very well against him but when he faces a defencive fighter where Kenny has limited opportunity to counter (like against BJ Penn) then he looks very ordinary.
So what I would like to know is what is your own personal fighting style and why do you prefer that way of fighting? Are you primarily a kicking out-fighter? Are you are stalking in-fighter? Do you prefer to control your opponent before hit them? etc
Since I am asking you to do this, I will go first as an example. I am primarily a stalking counter-fighting punching thai boxer. I have always liked punishing my opponents when they attack me (e.g. catching kicks, letting tem hit my elbows) and then hitting them before they could recover completely. I stalk my opponent to force them to attack me and to psychologically pressure my opponent. Whilst, I use all muay thai techniques, I prefer punching so the majority of my combos key off punches of lead into punches well. I have often been described as a 'natural puncher' so I guess it comes more naturally to me but I also like it that I can attack without sacrificing any balance like I would with kicks.
