Kickboxing has a belt system?

Thompson is a black belt in Kempo Karate. No TKD and no kickboxing. When you see a guy jumping on his toes back and forth, think point Karate. Venon Page and Wonderboy are the poster boys in MMA of this style. His dad owned a gym and the dude started training before he could even walk.

God I'm so confused. Where's this dudes blackbelt coming from? This it's me because it took me 10 years to get a purple belt in BJJ. I can't find anything regarding his background other than him being an MMA fighter. Why slap a fake belt on these people? Just devalues your entire brand. Any jackass coming off the street gets a blackbelt now? I know it's stupid to focus on this, but I mean that shit is supposed to mean something.

what do you mean by this

are you under the impression that if they win a fight they are given a black belt at the end of the fight? because i have no idea where you get this notion that he has to be a black belt in order to compete in karate combat.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

till though I'm happy he won this one. Start of a different streak, right?

Hell yeah

Alvey has no kickboxing/TKD/Karate experience, yet he's being decked with a black belt. He has a blackbelt around his waist. For what?

Of course he competed in Kickboxing. But his style is Kempo Karate, all the way. When you think about a Kickboxing stylist, think Don Wilson, Rick Roufus. Those guys had other backgrounds as well, Karate, TaeKwonDo, but over time their styles became what we would call "classic" Kickboxing. Wonderboy is as pure a Kempo Karate point fighter as it gets, it's really amazing how well he adapted his style and made it work in MMA and Kickboxing.

I didn't know what you were looking at I wasn't paying that much attention to the pants they wear I was just happy to see boy KO some fool. I guess the belt is just part of the look I don't think it's an actual belt that was awarded to him but i dunno I can see why it would be confusing my apologies.
