Bag Work - muay thai training / conditioning

[dazzy2para]

use gloves :)

[justin4362]

one foundation of muay thai is alway keep your chin protected even when striking, keep your shoulders covering your chin when throwing straights, and always return your fists back to your temples after throwing a punch, its a good habit to get into, just my opinion anyways

[517gotmilk]

football kick huh

[Abel20079]

ouch, just wear some padding, handwraps and gloves....you're going to cripple you hands in the long run. Our knuckles weren't made for punching, they're made of lots of tiny bones stuck together, better protect them

[paparadeliko]

squarer guard

[WaTeRpOoPfArT]

i would at least wear hand wraps..

[Chazza240]

keep your guard up, you tend to bring your other hand that your not striking with down to your shoulder

[davronru]

That first elbow was pretty good, sick striking overall

[pepehorhae]

i wanna ask question, why is it that im weak in my punch but stron in my bows, and im strong in kicks but weak in knees :( how can i improve??

[MrFishSticks]

so heres what i saw:

-use wraps and gloves

-generally i saw u drop ur opposite arm during the punches, it should stay up at ur chin

-same thing for the kicks, the arm on the inside of the kick should come up to ur face instead of dropping it down to ur waist (swinging the outside arm is ok)

-they were all straights other then like 2 shovel punches maybe u should mix in some hooks

-use wraps and gloves

[Sarafanman]

I remember my instructors beating me for any 2 hit combos, 3 should always be the minimum!

[headbull2009]

Have you improved on your muay thai?

[coldaziceee]

Don't worry about people telling you to pivot. Pivoting is the most overrated thing when it comes to kicks. In my honest opinion the pivot is not as crucial as people make it out to be. Watch videos of dutch thai boxers training and they don't always pivot on the ball of their foot. The best advice I would give you would be to slow down your techniques. Try going through the motions more, like for example when you missed that one elbow. Just get the muscle memory down.

[slick5hung]

just need work on technique and repetitions will take care of that... just have to do it over and over and over again so it becaomes your bodies natural instinct... sometimes ill catch myself walkin around with my left arm like kinda half way up like ima throw a jab lol you can tell you have great athleticism just need to tune the ferrari

[ItalianStallionLouie]

Very good fighter you are, you've got the punches done well. But I would work more on the sheer power of your kick you've got it fast but try dropping your kicks into the bag not round house it all the time, or even go for a side kick to confuse the opponent.

[glorytoGodITH94]

PERFECT JUST LITTLE MORE PIVOT

[delaforce202]

Good hand speed and elbows. Need more bend in you back leg when you kick. More waist turning and pushing your hips out as you land your kicks besides that. Excellent work keep it up

[ryourhm]

Good Job! I like the back elbow at 1:21. you should start learning Ground Fighting and find an mma School by you. You would be Very good

[tinygangster66]

i like the speed of your punches and your elbows would surely enough cut easily

[runebolt]

Nice man Great work, at the end there when you missed your Elbow you should practice a double or a single leg take down for safety, So in stead of coming right up shoot for a take down and just do a little recooperation. Other then then lookin very solid an good.

[Raitsogen]

good low high roundhouse btw

[Raitsogen]

at certain spots (not all) it looks kinda like your hitting with the side of your elbow instead of the sharper part. try your best to make a linear arc with your elbow, weather its across, down, up, or diagonally. when you kick anywhere above your waist, try to turn your standing foot toes away from your target. follow through, and use the spring of the knee to "fick" or "whip" your target. dont try to power through with a roundhouse, lock your ankle in place and kick with the instep or ball

[Raitsogen]

when you throw your elbows make sure that you dont chicken wing it. i cant really tell from that angle but thats what it kinda looks like. keep your hands in fists when you kick. your telegraphing that you wanna kick like that.

[PVanderston]

@Raitsogen thanks. that's actually quite helpful. and you're dead-on with the telegraphing comment -- a few sparring sessions cleaned up my hands considerably. mind elaborating on the elbow strikes comment?

[lazherus]

@PVanderston actually your elbows are correct. You weren't chicken winging it. You weren't over turning with your body with it, which is good, because you would have to turn your body back into place and that is a wasted movement. It doesn't take much to cut with an elbow. Your kicks, however, do need some more technical work, but other than that good power and speed

1. buy wraps

2. buy gloves

3. reupload

[binot]

tip of elbow bro! ur hitting with ur forearm

[Parspilot89]

lol.. omg u gonna fuck up ur hands.. one bad shot and ur hand is fucked.. then u will have pain rest of ur fighting career

[Courvousier]

why arent your hands wrapped, thats dangerous.

[TheLostDrifterVan]

it can be i've boxer for 8 year's and done muay thai for 6 year's once your bones harden to a point you can asorb the power pretty easy

[Courvousier]

well it would have been nice to know that earlier if you left it in your description.

[PVanderston]

yup, you're right -- my hands should be wrapped.

[Parspilot89]

lool.. its not about how hard ur bones are.. its if u land a crocked shot then u gonna fuck up the legaments

[TheLostDrifterVan]

it can be which is why you have to know the hell your doing i've been around alot of fighters and i've seen plenty of broke legs and hands fucked up wrist all of that i've also trained in kyokushin karate which we use no wraps and no gloves no padding at all maybe you should take some training and see what i mean

[ZiggyArman]

ur not doing anything right..

[PVanderston]

astounding analytic insight. thanks, ziggy.

[TheLostDrifterVan]

hey man you are pretty good and pretty powerful keep up the good work and keep those hand's up.
