Hey James! What do you train? Muay Thai or something else? I hope you enjoy it! And yes, the outcome can really be surprising! I started it for the sport and it ended up being my full time job, allowed me to travel the world and to meet great people!
@@coach_marek yep i startes as a boxer 3 and a half years ago and i started muay thai at the beginning of this year its really fun and i want to see where the journey takes me.
Ok so for real, for real, after seeing him using his hand to aid him by pushing the guys hip and did a sweep, my mind was opened once more and I was exploring what I could do with this knowledge. At first I was looking too low and realized that by pushing the leg is already covered by the sweep. So I went up and was looking around the torso area to see where I would shove. But I didn’t pause the video and at 1:30, he showed us another technique but with the torso and I was like, hey I was close. Dang, I love martial arts!
Hi and thanks for your comment! I suggest you pay close attention to details. When I was starting martial arts I was watching lots of videos on slow motion hundreds of times and then I was applying the techniques in training, sparring and fighting. Videos can be an amazing tool! All the best! 👊
Impressive sweeping in incredible throwing an amazing takedowns I just wish I could have had stayed in karate I really really wish I had stayed and learn how to defend and take down my opponent one way or the other way around I really wish I should have had stayed in karate it would have been for the better and for the better I just wish I could have stayed and maybe learn so much more 🥋👊😉👍🥋
I have a question then; Edson Barboza has a listed rank on his wiki for a black prajied in Muay Thai, I'm pretty sure I've other fighters with that. Does anyone know about it, is it a coach/team specific thing??
The prajeed is used in Muay Boran and the colors correspond to your Khan level. This is the only real "grading" system used in many gyms. We did that too but using Karate belts or different colors of t-shirts or shorts is specific to a gym and has absolutely no meaning on an international level. Go to Thailand and tell them you are a Muay Thai orange belt, t-shirt or short and wait for the reaction...
he’s not saying they aren’t skilled, he’s just saying a muay thai black belt isn’t a real thing, there are extremely talented strikers in muay thai that isn’t his point
@koen4261 you didn't get my point. Saying you're a Muay Thai black belt doesn't mean you are not skilled in Muay Thai but it means that you are not educated and informed about it. And actually in my opinion belts do not show your exact skills. They only mean you've trained long enough (and paid enough money) to get the next color. Have you never seen a white belt crush a purple belt in BJJ for example? I did, many times. Cheers!
It's pure nonsense. They explained it once saying that "some countries" use the belt system in Muay Thai (Brazil for example). Well ok, let's do elbows in Boxing or BJJ then in some countries. Ridiculous.
@@RookieA5 I could also fake it and drink something else. A video is not a proof of me drinking it. By the way, why would I want you to drink it if I didn't try it myself? I have 0 interest in this. Give it a try or don't. You can find a lot of info online about the benefits of drinking lemon water and honey. Cheers!
Você tem que ficar em uma postura firme para impedir de ele baixar sua cabeça , e se você colocar os cotovelos para defender as joelhadas seu rosto fica desprotegido de levar cotoveladas na cara.
Thanks man it's an honor to be compared to Ramon! I was actually lucky enough to have the opportunity to train with and learn from him several times. But as you probably know he died in 2013.
I wanna learn both Judo and Muay Thai, but I just cannot fit the time in... For standing grappling, do you think Muay Thai techniques are roughly enough without having to learn Judo? Of course, for ground techniques, I will have to learn Judo
@@user-gt7gd9jl8z hey man! I mean, if you are asking for self defense purposes muay thai sweeps are good enough as "grappling", and you will learn good balance and weight distribution and so on. However, it is not really grappling, sweeps (ashi waza, meaning foot techniques) are very narrow part of judo and overall aim and feel is very different. Besides, I must admit, in Judo its generally 80/20 standing/ground so for ground don't rely on your judo sensei only, watch youtube and try on your partners in judo classes :)
@@ModernTruthRevelation Thank you so much! Yes, I am just trying to learn for self-defense rather than going to cage. I quit BJJ and am now focusing on Muay Thai, and it was because I felt that BJJ has too many techniques that you will hardly use in a real fight situation. Besides, whenever I see BJJ vs Judo sparring, I do not see Judo techniques being any inferior to BJJ on the ground. Just my opinion. Thanks for the advice.
@@ModernTruthRevelation you right, judo ground game is basic compared to bjj and judokas spend much less time training newaza, most browns belts in judo i know can beat bjj blue belts or be competitive.
