True. Most of the kicks he performs are not practicle in a street fight. Yet anyone who can perform these kicks in that manner of perfection such as Van Dam. Anyone as skilled as him also knows the more practicle kicks that can do the most amount of damage in the quickest time. Pretty sure he is no stranger to those, his mastery of the kicks tells me he would not be easy to defeat. Ballerina kicks like these I have seen first hand in tournaments I used to compete in. Plenty guys laid flat out from getting hit with them.
It’s his fluidity (and good looks, no homo) that made him an in-demand action movie star. But his graceful efficiency doesn’t negate the fact he’s been a practicing martial artist for about 50 years. And the man’s never shied away from training/sparring with martial artists of differing disciplines.
JCVD is no joke. Even at around 60, he’s incredibly athletic and trained. The man could launch a barrage of kicks and punches so quickly it’d shock most who’d dare to try him.
Real life is VERY different than the cage.
