Absolutely. Thor is a Monster. We have many here in NZ. I went to primary school with an Pacific Island family the daughter was the shortest at 6.0" the tallest was the eldest brother at 6.9" he played Gridiron for Hawaii State University, he was on the training roster for 2-3 different NFL teams in the early 90's, but never played. I played Rugby League with the youngest he stood at 6.6" growing up together I was always taller & he was always short & round. We went to different secondary schools, at age 14-15 my friend grew. I remember jumping on the bus after school and having not seen my friend in about 3-4 years he had to crouch to fit under the doorway😁😂FYI their parents were both short.

I don't think he can have the speed with his size... He'd have to lose quite a bit of weight to gain speed. Right now he is far too lumbering.

@@boiledegg6788 him at his heaviest is the most dangerous

Let's be real. He is never going to acquire enough speed. To acquire some of it, he'll need to lose weight. Finally, this coach is badass.

[@topsiecurrets6812]

Speed = power. yes. But. Huge but here. Kinetic force is just as devistating. Theres no diffence in a 90 MPH, 3 ton Porsche hitting a wall. And a 30 MPH, 80 ton 18 wheeler hitting the same wall. Force can be generated in a lot of ways. But i agree his coach is amazing lol.

[@DaniloDanny77]

@@topsiecurrets6812 Oh yes, there is. If an object that weights 1kg moves at velocity of 10m/s2, than its kinetic energy is 50J. If you double its weight, than its kinetic energy will be doubled. Double its velocity, and its kinetic energy will be quadrupled. But it's not the problem. The problem is that the majority of fighters will be able to easily anticipate Thor's attacks.

[@albertortizromero]

@@topsiecurrets6812 no. Power = speed x force. There is nothing called kinetic force. There are differences: the second has 3 times the energy of the first and, more important, you can more easily move out of the wayof the slower one. Force means nothing if you can't reach your target.

Of course he’d need to lose a lot of weight but he’d still be the biggest genetic freak the MMA world has ever saw. The power he would have would be absolutely ridiculous, not to mention his strength

[@rednas2.079]

I'm not trying to imply Bas explained the low kick wrong because he's absolutely right, and I'm not trying to disrespect this legendary fighter. He's right on the money about hitting the same spot repeatedly. That pain is unbelievable. The thing is, the punching bag is too high. To effectively train a low kick, the bag needs to be longer, closer to the ground. As this video shows, Thor has a lot of power, but not much mobility. The size of the bag forces him to train a medium kick, and his mobility prevents him from executing that kick properly. It also means he didn't train a low kick.The principle of the kicks is the same, but for guys like Thor, a low kick is easier to do than a medium or high kick. It's a bit of a missed opportunity.
