Great kicks. I noticed he is able to connect (spinning hook kick) to the head so close to his opponent (and also near miss quite a few times), because like Bill Wallace style (non spin hook) kicking, he gets his knee so high he is able to keep the 'hook' shape in the leg as hes spinning and on impact with the back of the heel. That gets around the guard of the opponent, like a proper hook punch. Most fighters dont train to get that high knee these days, so typical spin 'hook' kicks are spinning 'almost straight legged' kicks with just enough lifting of the leg to put the foot at head level, and as long as the opponents guard is up, they can't get through to the head.
The guy is not Japanese. You can see from his face that he is a Chinese or Mongol/Manchu (especially Manchu nose). And his name is written with Chinese character instead of the Japanese characters. It is a fake fight. Chinese loves to make a fake things.
Because Qiu is a fake propaganda of the Chinese Communist Party who would be destroyed by the real Japanese kickboxer, so he fights the fake mongol in this fake fight instead. Chinese communist loves to trick you with fake product or game.
He is the World Champion in his weightclass in ISKA (a US federation), and he defeated plenty of Dutchs and Americans. He has an overall impressive international record. Your message has two unwanted undertones btw, that I think it is worth highlighting. First, the focus on the nationality of the fighters (like this video title btw) has a racist flavour that is honestly annoying. Second, the attempt to compare UFC fighters to kickboxers just gives the idea that you don't know anything about fighting sports. So, that is what I got from your message: you are a slightly racist person without any knowledge of fighting sports.
@@yardhostler3728 The title says so. And @JD is right, the Japanese is Komiya Yukihiro: he doesn't even have a Wikipedia page nor a record anywhere. To title "King of Japan" that is used in the video title is deceptive.
@@yardhostler3728 I don't organize matches :-) I was just stating the obvious fact that the title of the video is misleading. I agree that Qiu Jianliang is very strong, but this doesn't make the title of the video right
MrLimbei123 tenshin is not even top ranked in his own weight class and is two weight classes smaller than qiu jian liang. He would absolutely get destroyed by qiunianliang. He needs a few more years of experience and putting on some weight before he can challenge qiu jian liang. Maybe fight wei rui first. Or koya urabe. Even before he moves up in weight he also needs to beat Takeru who hes ducking.
