    His last fight was a KO win over Nobu Hayashi just a month before he died.

    Interesting clip.:good

    I've never really had much respect for the true fighting potential of the pyjama brigade and the full contact application of the classical martial arts. However, it's an interesting clip becuase you can kind of of see the starts of Andi growing out of the rigid face on attacks of traditonal Karate and developing into a slightly more natural fluid attack. You can see him turning the hip and rotating his ankles to gain power and momentum, in a way unnatural to a traditonal Karate guy.

    Apologies for the setup Boran :good

    But I do think what you say is true. It is already evident from the clip that Andy is evolving away from traditional, rigid karate movements and demonstrating more fluidity. What a waste it would have been if Andy had stuck with karate and we'd never gotten to see him on the bigger stage.
