Festival Fight With SuperStars, My Fight Recap + Highlight Video

April 29th Festival Fight, My opponent was a well known town hero who constantly fights on channel 3 and channel 7 stadium. He is known for flogging his opponents with knees and well, that he did! 

Here's a thing about fighting in Thailand, not all matches will be even. I had a 7kg advantage he had a 200+ fights advantage, with over half of them in the big stadium (Raja,Lumphini,Omnoi, etc.). The Thais don't care so much about how much their opponents weigh. For them it's not about winning or losing, it's about displaying proper technique, having heart and showing a true fighters spirit.

Engraving Methods: Finding Range With The Long Guard.

For this months Engraving Methods, I used a clip I took from "MR. Knockout" Thepnimit  vs DaoFai rematch fight at Channel 11 Stadium in Bangkok. In this episode I slowed down Thepnimits use of his long guard. 

Cuts, Stitches & Scars.

I got cut in my last fight. 

Not a big one, just 4 stitches on my left eyebrow. The cut is literally on the eyebrow. A lot of people tell me that I’m lucky because of the location of the cut. This way, the scar won't be quite so noticeable.

Mr.Knockout Does It Again

Thepnimit Sitmonchai AKA "Mr. Knockout" unstables the highly rank  Ninsiam with body shots and leg kicks. Thepnimit in my opinion is pound for pound the most explosive and powerful fighter out of SitMonchai Gym (1). 

Fight Night Check list

It's the night before your fight and you have no idea what to bring. The last thing you wanna do is forget your mouthpiece or turn your room upside down looking for your lucky ankle brace. So Here's a list of things you should have ready a few days before your fight.

Engraving Method: Long Guard-Elbow

World MuayThai Angels Quarter Final.

This is the 2nd part to my new Engraving Method series. For this part I broke down Italy's Sindy Huyer's (1) use of the long guard-elbow against France's Laurene Pumpanmuang (2). 

Engraving Method: Jab-Cross-Knee

Aikpracha or Eakpracha. Same same.

This is part 1 of my new Engraving series. One of my favorite Muay Thai fighters is Aikpracha Meenayothin (1). He is known for his aggressive style of marching his opponents down with violent knees and hateful elbows.

Engraving Method

By far one of the best book that I find to be invaluable for amplifying performance is Daniel Coyle's- The Little Book of Talent. It's a must have for anyone trying to get better at their craft. It offers 52 real world tested tid bits for improving training. Better training means better performance.

There are a few tips from the book that I use regularly at every training session, but for the purpose of this post I want to go over Tip #2 "Engraving".

Muay Thai Doesn't Have Good Hands?

Go ahead and use my gloves.

Some fight fans are comparing boxing's punching methods and standard tactics against Muay Thai. Making the sweeping assumption that Muay Thai fighters don't have good hands (punching techniques).
One can generalize that some of boxing's technical cues e.g., torque from the legs and hips, can transfer well to all striking combat sports. Unfortunately not all of boxing's basics should be adopted for Muay Thai.

Being a punch only sport, The sweet science does have a lot to offer if one wants to optimize their punching mechanics. Unfortunately, some of those mechanical principals can get you in trouble. For example, western boxing's basic stance (1). I'm not saying it's impossible to fight Muay Thai in a boxing stances but your chances of getting leg kicked or swept will dramatically increase.

Thoughts on Raja Fight Vs Daniel Hadfield Sept/1/13

Sept 1st 2013 Rajadamnerm Stadium

I fought Daniel Hadfield (England) from 13 Coins Gym. He fought one of my team mates about a month ago and supposedly from what my team mates were saying it was a pretty even match until Hadfield KOed him in the 4th round with knees to the body. My coach thought we would make a great match up, so he booked us to fight on Sept 1st, Raja Stadium at 74 kg (163 lbs).

Deloading for Fight Training

Green means GO, GO, GO!

I'm schedule to fight at Lumphini July 13th at 74 kg. I'm currently weighing a chubby 80.6 kg, which I'm planning to lose at a steady rate so as to not suffer with a sauna suit. As of now I'm using this week up until June 24th for maintenance training or commonly known to weight lifters as deload week (1).
