Nice work kid. On a side note my instructor would have a heart attack if he saw people wearing shoes on the mats.

[FreeOnlineWorkouts]

whoa, really nice technique and the trainer looks great as well. 

[LiLmJBayBehh]

Mr Popejoy, How many fights have you had? Your fighter and pad holding skills rocks by the way.

@LiLmJBayBehh

I Have guys who had that many in one year, lol.

Thanks for the compliment, btw.

[toyhut2]

If you dont mind me asking, how old is this kid? Im 15 1/2 and am starting muay thai training next week. Any tips?

[gtakilla92]

@toyhut2 Stretch PLZZ if u dont u might get injured QUick TRUST me All ways warmup correctly dont just rush it!

@toyhut2

He was 15 when this was filmed

[Novels]

if no one told me he was american i'd think he was thai

[pacificswell]

i think his kicks turn over good but he isnt to squared off and i noticed a little flat foot action. jab should also be more cork screwed and keep those hands up. head and shoulders should be constantly moving to. but thats where a good boxing coach would help a lot. potential is forsure there at his young age.

[MMAKiller]

@pacificswell To make an attempt to add even constructive criticism to technique THIS CLEAN is simply insulting to me...and I dont even know this student or coach! EXCELLENT work coach even if this young man never fights, that's some beautiful Thai Boxing!

[kingstaffy]

@pacificswell thais dont teach head movement unlike boxing bcos in muay thai u hav head kicks. However, thai fighters do use head movement like buakaw and yodsaenklai for example but thats only to react from a punch, they dont keep their heads moving constantly

[Rjpowell808]

also, who's the coach? i want to train with him, the way he holds reminds me of a thai trainer.

@Rjpowell808

Nathan, the kid hitting the pads is American. I'm his coach, my name is Bryan Popejoy. Thanks for your kind words.

[Rjpowell808]

very very nice! is he an american? I've never seen an american kid with this much skill and technique at this age.

[maDKient]
