 Hei, kaiken! Täältä on Taitaa. Täältä on nyt todella erittäin uudelleen. Votamia on tullut täällä. Täältä on todella erittäin uudelleen. Täältä on uudelleen muittajien kämpi. Tällä kertaa on ehkä 10 km. Voi kertaa on muittajien kämpi. Täältä on kämpi koko Sitha Muitai. Ja nyt... Täältä ei voi kuulua, mutta kämpi on täällä. Tämä on koko residenssia, joka on koko tuolta. Muittajuomaa. Ja olen näy, että puolet järjestävät. Kun sinun tunnistuu patsin ja kaikki, ja tekevät näitä huomioita. Ja olen aika nostautijana. Ja en tiedä, että minä pysy tästä eri alueella. Koska se oli todella onni. Ja luulen, että minulla oli niin paljon tästä. Ja olen löysin niin paljon, että suurin paljon, että miten paljon minun voisi ota. Just physically and mentally as well. And so I wanted to walk you through this whole experience that I've kind of had here. Both me and Samuli shared the whole same thing. We went to every single workout here during these seven days. And by the way just one thing like, I don't know if you can see but the air here is like, it's so humid and hot and you're probably gonna see me sweat a lot here. So don't, you know, don't wonder why it's very hot here. But so we came here, it was last week's Tuesday, so eight days ago practically there was one day of rest between here. And we started to do these workouts here. It comes very clear that they're very high intense from the very start. We do like the warm up was already horrible. You know, first of all it was not used to the weather and it's hot. And it's basically you do like some like 12 minutes or even 30 minutes straight, like jump roping with the weighted rope. I've never done this. I've done a lot of like jump roping and some like boxing and stuff like that, but it's never for like 12 minutes straight and it's, it's, you know, very light rope. So here it was weighted and it already destroyed me before the whole workout even began. So now the workout starts. The workout actually structure is pretty like similar in most, the almost every time. So you get the warm up that we do back work or pad work. Then there's usually some technique training, a little bit more detail about technique and then you feel pretty soft with some conditioning, some must sit up, usually push ups or some swinging knees, some like some just like high repetition and volume of kicks. But this first workout was really, it was a big shock because of the heat, because of the toughness, because of the intensity. And because I actually momentarily during hitting the pads, like I almost became very close to like fainting actually. And I've never experienced in my life in training like fainting. Once only in my life has this happened and this was like years ago when I was in Croatia and I had a food poisoning and this is when I actually fainted. So this was, you know, I was there and I was like feeling just this weird heaviness coming to my arms. I couldn't like just hold my arms up. It was odd pressure and I was like, I had to tell the guy, I think I even said to him like, I feel very dizzy and I was like, and he just, you know, took me next to the fans that were there to cool down a little bit. And so I cooled down there and then went off from the ring and just sit down and drink water. You know, it went off like in a few minutes. Okay, so this was okay. So I did recover and I was able to continue to workout and it went fine. But this was already like the first big shock because this has never happened to me. And I was already starting to wonder, you know, the warm up was killer and I was thinking like, you know, I'm not supposed to do this the whole every single day, two times per day this workout. Like I just was doubting myself quite a lot, like if I would be able to actually handle it. And I wasn't sure about this at all because I never have trained like that much in my entire life. And well, you know, but this is the moment, like this sort of doubt and this is where the transformation already starts to happen. This is already like starting to get the next workers in my mind I had decided I'm going to do this thing. And in a weird way the body starts to respond, you know. And I think many people when they face this first adversity, they probably quit. They might quit almost immediately. But for me it was more like because I already had been through adversity a lot in my life, in my training. And I've been through this in MMA. I have some back, you know, I've already experienced some of these things. And I know like I was ready. There's always a point that you should have in your life or just you're kind of just ready to face the pain. You're ready to face the weakness and or appear weak to be weak. You're ready to kind of perish. Sounds a little bit rough. But this is this is what it was about in the start just getting over this like fear of like exhaustion and being super tired. So, you know, and from this point on the workouts start to feel actually like they're still super hard. But I never got this painting feeling anymore because I kind of I think I made some changes. I started to drink a little more water. Okay, this was one of the things that I did and I didn't get fading anymore. And there was also a good several other guys there, this guy from France called Abdullah, for example. He gave us as a tip to supplement with electrolytes that you can get from a pharmacy here. Just put like this powder to your water and shake it. And then you get the right refill because you know, one of the things was that is unique feature for me is, for example, sweating. Like I sweat like crazy. It's even hard to even imagine. Even in Finland, I sweat more than most of the guys, but here it's like 10 times worse than that. Like this literal like puddles on the floor and I live and I'm just leaving like this sweaty footprints wherever I go. And kind of it's very slippery even makes the training a little bit hard. So it was very good to get this sort of like extra condensed electrolyte. I think supplement after the workouts. I think that helped a lot with the recovery and just feeling energized. And this is the greatest thing like about like the energy because what I noticed because I knew my body knew, my mind knew that there was going to be this like a fight, you know, the workout. You know, it's going to be intense and it's going to be tough and it's going to be challenging. So my body knew that and it starts to like react by actually producing like adrenaline. I think, you know, probably some other hormones as well, but I could sense like this sort of like elevated state of energy in my body. Like just being like, you know, I wasn't literally like shaking. Well, sometimes that actually was, but this is what I experienced many times. And I think this is already like some people would consider that maybe not very good. I never, for me, this is like, yes, you know, because I felt ready for the training. I felt strong. I was like, now I can train actually. But I think there are some people who would probably consider like signs of like overtraining or something when if you feel like too much like, like this way all the time. But for me it was just, yes, this is great. You know, I can train and I'm ready and so on and so on. And it's just like the body, you just don't know what is capable of handling until you kind of really push it. And out of fear, you might never actually figure out what your body is capable of doing. So you need to let it a chance to like respond to the situation and see what comes out from there. And this is, you know, I've already talked about this sort of energy thing when I, you know, for example, related to our program, the Warrior 2 and X-X, where it's very important is learning to push yourself. So here I needed to again go to a new level and finding this strength and just being there in this new situation that's very uncertain and I'm completely unfamiliar with. But I wanted to say like a little bit about the trainers here because what I noticed or liked really much about them was that they do reach you here. Like they don't, they didn't, they push everyone's, it's going to be hard for everyone, but they do like read a little bit like what is your level. And I think they kind of, they might take it a little bit easier for some people, they might be a little more technical for some other people. And then if you, you know, they know this, you're good. You know, then they push on, push, push, push the intensity even much more. And so there is, there is some of the balance between technique and the intensity. I personally wish maybe this is the only thing that I wish here that would be a little more like detailed about the technique here. But I think like it would have come a little bit later if we went on and on. But this was just a week on camp. So we didn't like get the, you know, what it would be like in the long term here. But so this week was, you know, the super high intensity. I did get a lot of tips about the technique, but it just, I feel like it takes so much time to really grind and just polish the different things that are there. And regarding just like the Muittai training, I think I got a really deep idea about it. And some of the things that came very new for me, like regarding the fighting with these guys that never came in MMA or something, was this sort of like specific unique Muittai template and this sort of calmness and relaxation that they have. Because what you maybe see about Muittai, you know, just see like, wham! These super powerful kicks that they have. And they always, you know, they always emphasize doing everything with full force here, by the way. That's also quite unique. Like if I've been doing boxing and kickboxing and stuff like this, and it's sometimes quite light. But here it's like, you gotta really put power to your punches. But they also have this sort of like, everything starts from this sort of weird state of like calmness. And they always say like, reset, reset. And the trainers, I just love the way they hold the, for example, the pads. It was unbelievable to just felt so good. This also, I haven't experienced before, the level of skill that they have for holding the pads. It really makes you feel good and powerful when you punch them. And they know where to put them to the right place and all this. And also like, it's getting so sweaty. And another thing about these guys is that there's like, you know, because I started to think, for example, we went to see these actually competitions here. We went to see like Thai boxing competitions, this arena stadium. And it's called the Lumpini Stadium. And there we see the fights here. And this is where like, probably some of the most entertaining fights I've ever seen. And I'm not sure like why I was even that surprised. I haven't really even seen Muay Thai fights much. But these fights were absolutely amazing. And I think it's, it's somewhat because the attitude that these guys have for training, it's some different again from like MMA and stuff like that. That this is very straightforward. It's like, there isn't, there is technique of force, but it really is kind of a lot of just like smashing bones together. You know, these guys go at each other, they really punish each other and they take enormous amount of hits. And I'm not talking about just like body, but like the forums there, the core, their legs, like the limbs take so much hits. And from like this baseball bat, you know, kicks that they have. And, you know, of course, that's, I look at it and, you know, there's so much respect. You know, these guys are super tough to seeing like the resilience of these guys. It was unbelievable. I'm really into the fights with so many knockouts there. But I also understand it's quite a sacrifice for the body at the same time, to be honest. And I started to like think like really like how, you know, what is the lifespan of these guys, like careers and so on, because they have like hundreds and hundreds of fights. You know, but for example, these guys here, the trainers, I think they stopped fighting and around like 30 or a little bit under 30, age 30. So it's not like super, I don't know, super sort, but it's definitely like does tax the body and I think it causes a lot of injuries. But for example, there's one 40-year-old guy here and who's still in amazing shape. Like if you look at him, you wouldn't maybe think much, but then you see this guy kick a bat and it's nuts and even spark with him. And like these guys are really agile and staying in very good shape even to the old age. So it's kind of like hard to say. I know, I've also heard that many of the fighters kind of become a little bit broken at some point. But these guys seem to be in good shape even now and just a lot of knowledge and a lot of insight into the very heart of Muitta. And this is what I really wanted. This was such an immersive experience, like right to the heart of it. Like just throwing to the deep end and survive there. This is what it was about because what I understood, this kind of training that we actually went through and the intensity and all the structured workouts, it's very similar to the way that they would actually train person who would go to fight. So it's almost like going through this sort of fight camp. And this is kind of how you even feel about it. I think I actually lost probably at least a few kilos of weight also during this week. So I feel pretty much ready for the fight. And this is the thing. I remember there was a sort of turning point during this week. Maybe it was the third day or something. Because there was a big thing about for example my calf muscles, which felt like they would explode. They were so sore from the skipping and just doing the morning jokes. Just weren't used to that. Nothing special about it. So they were really sore the calf muscles. There were moments in like mornings when I woke up. And normally I would never consider training if I was feeling that way. But here it was like let's get up. And okay, I turned out early and started running. I started to get ready. And then it's good because there's always the warm up here. In the morning, every morning we do a joke for warm up. And sometimes after the joke we do some skipping rope and stuff like that. But to the warm up really is great because that also, especially in this weather, it's just all that sort of coughs or that kind of thing. It kind of goes away. And you start to feel it's super warm and ready for the workout. And so what I was explaining about this sort of what happened during that some kind of like midpoint is that you start to kind of get used to the whole thing. You kind of know what's about to happen. And there was that initial shock of like fainting. And just everything feeling super stuff. That this one you start to feel like okay, I can handle this is still hard. And just like after the, I think this was after fifth day. There was actually in that morning we had like a conditioning class basically. So it's usually we had like two tie boxing classes per day. So this time in the morning there was like a conditioning with basic crossfit type of training. And at this point I'm really starting to feel like this sort of like a terminator. Because I just never, I was like feeling like alright. So I've trained now like five days in a row, two times every day, super hard workouts. And tomorrow we go again. So it just, I felt like I had already surpassed something. Or I've already reached that other side of whatever I was trying to achieve. And this, you know, this, I don't think you're wrapping possible without this sort of experience. Like I've had this kind of going to the other side experiences. Of course before like in the kung fu when we did the heart and bone. Even in MMA I experienced this, this like going sort of stepping to a new level. And here it happened again. Just kind of just this feeling like you went past something that there was a block. It was like a mental block about like training for example two times a day. And I knew like there's some many pro athletes that do that. But I just couldn't get it out of myself to do it like by myself. So going through this where these other people do it and seeing other people think that it's normal. And then like just going through the process. This was probably the most valuable just like outside of muitsa. Like not even talking about muitsa. Almost any sport but just experiencing that sort of how much you can actually train. Right now, you know, I can tell you that even though I don't have, honestly don't have much muscle soreness. After these seven days and 12 workouts in total actually. Because this the last day was only one workout. And also our first day was just one workout. So after these seven days and 12 workouts I could sense like I'm tired. So it's not really that like exceptional or even weird to do like one workout per day. Like you know most people actually do that they have like workout per day or go to the gym per day and so on. But doing like two workouts per day that both of those are extremely hard and push the limits. Like I was usually completely wiped out after both of those workouts and I still did them. So this is a little bit extreme and it's not like actually anyone could, I would even recommend everyone to do it. I honestly think that the reason why I was able to go through and why Samuli was able to go through it. And the thing about this is that me and Samuli were at some point we were the only people at the workout. So there was like what like five or six coaches I don't remember there and just me and Samuli training. So people did kind of take some rest you know there. But the reason I think that what we were able to continue I wanted to was the background. Just creating having the foundation that we had built. Of course the martial arts background matter like having the MMA training there and we were going to keep boxing boxing a little bit since the start of the year. But really the huge, the big thing that kept us actually safe was the foundation that we had like built for years and years like through the mobility, through strength training, through the stability training, through other programs, the athlete training program, through the movement training program. Just like building the very very long duration of time like bulletproofing the body and making sure that it's just capable and ready for handle this kind of task. And I think like this without this you know it's very possible that we would have like multiple, even you know some joint pains and stuff like that. Right now there's like zero joint sort of pains you know at all. So and I think this is like this is not even very normal at all with this sort of pains. Like I explained like it's very extreme to have two super hard exhausting workouts per day for like seven days and not to have like this sort of symptoms. So you need to understand that there needs to be a sort of level of readiness if you want to try this sort of intensity I think so. Of course you can push yourself hard but it's very good chance that you will break something or cause some wear and tear. You know you need to have this foundation like we have built with without programs the athlete 2x and movement 2xx. So it doesn't really matter you know like in some ways what kind of training. This is a you know this Muitai certain like context where I experienced this sort of like going past these barriers and going past these blocks that I had like this mental mental things and just the physical exercise and all this. But it really you know you're going to experience this in many sort of training. This is not the only circumstance you know you're going to have to go past these things. And you're going to notice that whenever you want to stick to the next level the training could be completely different from here. Like you still have to go to the same things and you need to be able to face that sort of weakness from your body and just accept the sort of fear as well. Because there was definitely like fear related in the start like I explained that having the shortness and the feigning and all that. And you need to be able to like just kind of it's more like an accepting. That thing and and and being willing to just being being willing to like embrace it and understanding that the vulnerability is part of everything and knowing that you know you can't you can't get hurt. And this is also very important. You know understand it's something you can you can actually get hurt. And when you know this you will also act differently. Your body will also respond differently. Like I said like you know I wake I woke up from that actually. I think this is also part of the reasons why I stay healthy because I'm awake and I control my things and I feel what's going on in my body. So you need to let the occasion sort of wake you up and this is kind of how it happens. And you know I can't stress enough the foundation because this sort of hard training if you want to get to this level you can't just like skip steps you need to go. And also there's a matter of training to make sure you have a long lifespan and everything that you do stay healthy and this is what happens you know to building that foundation through variety of training high quality training like our you know for example the Adelaide XXX you need to learn to also control these individual things and develop the mobility every single joint in your body and this is what really prepares you for this sort of hard training. But that's it. Yeah unbelievable experience shared this whole week. And I actually wish that maybe at some point we're going to come back here to another Muittakamp maybe at this gym. I'm not sure yet but we'll see now our journey continues to Taiwan where we're going to be training a little bit more kung fu. And that's that's what's next guys. All right hope you enjoyed this and it was interesting just listen to this story here and I will see you in the next video guys. Stay strong.
