Glory heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven is not a man to be messed with when it comes to striking. Former UFC fighter Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva suffered a dominant TKO defeat to the kickboxer at Glory 46 just last weekend. Now Verhoeven has offered a video of him doing a little light sparring with a martial arts master.
Wing Chun is a martial art largely made famous by martial arts film icon Bruce Lee. The Chinese martial art is famous for offering efficiency with every strike, as each strike often simultaneously acts as a block and an attack. The Glory heavyweight champion happened to stumble into a master of the art of Wing Chun quite recently. Now the champion has offered a video of the occasion.
Here is what Glory Kickboxing heavyweight, Rico Verhoeven had to say over Twitter:
“Bumped into a Wing Chun master….Lucky for me I watched a lot of Bruce Lee movies.”
The two men can be seen doing a little light sparring in the video above.
