I thought I would show everyone at MAP how I'm getting on with Muay Thai since my Interclub fight as I get ready for my next (which is on the 26th of January). So here's a bit of Thai Pad Training from this past Sunday. It's worth noting here that this particular session followed a pretty gruelling training exercise that involved lots of steps, and lots of running (around 10km). [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyqsU0cBuuo"]Thai Pad Training[/ame] Apologies for the video quality. Youtube seems to have butchered it (they're normally a lot better quality). If anyone else wishes to share their own personal Muay Thai training videos in this thread please feel free to.
solid, solid, solid. Your left hook 47) has some KO power! Just saw the bit about having done a session and a 10km run previous to this...I woulda thought you fresh from a two minute skip.
You have to try and hide tiredness in Muay Thai as you're scored on condition also. Secretly inside I was screaming, especially when doing pyramids, lol! This is basically what I do every Sunday now. Step running, followed by 10km run, then more step running. This is with other fighters, not just solo. Then straight to the gym and between 2-3 hours on pads (with breaks, I'm not a machine yet! ). I certainly feel it by the Tuesday two hour class, lol!
Some good old solid padwork. Its that stuff right there where you learn the most in my opinion. I was hoping for a Superman after the teeps . Love that combo. You reminded me that I got to work on my teep/counter teeps, so thumbs up. I too giggled at "Make him taste his breakfast" thats a forearm tattoo in the making. Looking good.
I agree whole heartedly. I'll throw one in next time, just for you. I'll get it tattooed on my knee in Thai after my first decision win by knee to the ribs. Thanks!
Ouch! I'm gonna introduce steps into my runs soon. Kinda both dreading and looking forward to it. I'll be skipping any other training after it...especially if it takes 2 hrs. Nice video!
What we do is run this... We run up the steps and then back down the ramp (left hand side of the pic, we don't cross the bridge), then back round the steps. That's one lap. We do ten laps of that, then run to the park, do 6 laps of the park, then run back and do another ten laps of the steps. The complete exercise itself takes about an hour in total. The two hour session I referenced is a normal class session. The second set is the hardest set. The first set is pretty easy. It isn't as bad as you think as long as you pace yourself and keep your muscles loose after. Don't let them stiffen up or you will feel it big time!
You're pretty close to getting the Muay Thai camp experience without going to a Thai camp. Huge difference between this and going to MT class a couple of times a week, innit?
Yes you could say that. My Kru trained and fought in Thailand, and likes us to train the same way the Thai's do.
Some more Thai Pad Training after my weekly Sunday 10km run. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHuLToeWm-s"]Thai Pad Training[/ame]
Keep up the great work! You are really making me miss Thai training! Good Thai training is just not available where I live.
I don't know Dynamic Martial Arts personally, as to their reputation, cost, etc., but I did happen upon this article by chance... http://rapidcityjournal.com/sports/...cle_474235f6-3324-5d49-9455-3862b25d19e5.html
