Excuse the language, but if i would have fought Senpai Benoit, my ass would have been handed to me on a silver plater...that is for sure.


Osu!
No problem, I completely understand.
In my view, once you can control yourself during sparring, you should be able to handle a full knockdown kumite.
By the way, I've had the honor of sparring with Senpai Benoit, I tell ya, If I wasn't bigger then he is, I would have been taking care of a long time ago.
