[hider=Remy Hoost] [img]http://i.imgur.com/RFB1fpc.jpg[/img] Name: Remy Hoost Age:14 (freshman) Height:5'9 feet Weight: 125 lbs Personality: The most noticeable aspect of his personality is his unshakeable confidence. He genuinely believes that he has limitless potential and will eventually surpass anyone stronger than him now. He genuinely believes that he is untouchable. This radiating confidence together with his silver tongue and iron wit makes him come across as either charismatic, or arrogant. Depending on the personality of the receives. He is a quick thinker with a silver tongue due to him not being nervous to speak his mind and knowing how to bring it. He is extraverted and very playful in social interactions and always makes a lots of jokes or teases people. He is a trash talker in and before fights. He is a logical being and very argumentative. A ENTP personality type in Myers briggs test. Though he is also very insensitive and intolerant to perceived disrespect. Nothing is worse to him than being seen as less. Anyone seen better than him by people whose opinion he cares about, he'll trash talk and almost bully them until he beats them. To when finally he'll give them their respect. He also can be too stoic about things and is pretty egotistical. Fighting style: In fights he is usually very energy conservative. He uses close to no flash, instead he uses the bare bones fundamentals of what works for him, and uses them in versatile ways. His current repertoire of offensive stand up techniques is literally just the basic punching combination plus the low and roundhouse kick. Nothing else yet he refined them and uses them for versatile purposes it's as if he has a whole arsenal of weapon. Almost everything having multiple purposes. Whenever his opponent puts weight on a leg he will kick it hard and hurt it because they can't check the kick or dodge it if their weight is on it. It's the staple of his style. In offense he will use great fundamental boxing to set up kicks that weaken the opponent. Either a roundhouse kick that will sap their endurance by hitting their stomach/ribs or a low kick that saps the power of their attacks and speed. (Legs are the biggest source of power in punches and kicks) until his opponent becomes physically weak enough, and is in enough excruciating pain to finish off and he'll come at them bloodthirsty with combos of punches with kick feints until they crumble. In defense he will never let the opponent throw a shot without him trying to punish them by immediately going in the offense. In defense he usually loves to throw a disruptive jab that he throws at the same time an opponent throws his attack and usually wins out because the jab is the fastest and safest punch there is. Other than that he defends with counters, either same time counters if he can or defending first and then attacking, by parrying or blocking. Martial Arts:[url=https://www.reddit.com/r/MMA/comments/2ihyae/muay_thai_vs_dutch_style_muay_thai/cl2j7b2] Dutch style of kickboxing[/url] [url=http://youtu.be/WEfYAI7KrvA]Accurate depiction (starts at 20 seconds)[/url] They use great fundamental boxing to put their opponent in a position to not be able to dodge or block a bone crushing kick, more often than not a devastating low kick that cripple the opponent legs. They use their great fundamental boxing to put their opponent in a position they won't be able to block or dodge the kick, for example by making them put their weight on the leg the dutch kickboxer is going to kick, disabling them from checking or dodging that low Kick. The legs are the most important in a fight where all the speed and power comes from. If the opponents legs are damaged they will not be able to put less of the biggest source of power in their punches or kicks and they will slow down with every kick. So with every leg kick he catches his opponent with, they become slower and weaker. It will also prevent them from putting the explosiveness and power that takedowns or throws need to work. Not only that but continuously getting low kicked on the same place gives excruciating pain that a lot of times just makes people submit. History: He never had a big story or anything special. He grew up as a relatively normal child that grew up watching violent animes and mangas and loving them. Often mimicking them with his friends. Living in the Netherlands, the kickboxing capital of the world he joined a kickboxing gym at ten because he really liked watching the more realistic fighting anime as his tastes 'matured'. He heard of a MMA academy in Japan, where anime was made. So he begged his parents to move and enroll him there. His charismatic confidence in his dream and his silver tongue in hyping Japan up, convinced them and he moved there and enrolled. Accepted because Dutch kickboxing had made a imprint on the Japanese fighting scene after multiple Dutch kickboxers have fought there. Nobody knows where his confidence comes from, but he has been saying he will become a legend since young. Dreams and Fears: He dreams of being the G.O.A.T in fighting. Of being seen the same as Muhammad Ali is seen in boxing, but then in MMA. Boxing is his favorite sport and he sees Dutch Kickboxing, being very boxing heavy with kicks used mostly to weaken the opponent, as a natural progression of boxing to MMA. So he looks up to him.
