I have done 3 and a bit years of muay thai . so I feel like I can answer your question at least partially but obviously my experience isn ' t that indepth . If all you do is hit pads and don ' t mix it up with sparring and sparring drills then you could end up messing with your own gauge of distance . I definitely struggle with distance because I am a little tentative in sparring and dont want to hurt my opponent get hurt myself . As for Cruz , the guy has done it so long and controlling distance is a speciality of his that there is no danger of this messing with his ability . <| sep |> If they have a scene of a guy dramatically putting a pill in his mouth and a typical anime posing scene will come , just for the guy to be crushed by a Deviljho , then i ' ll watch it .
