    I'm loving this series. This is one of the ways I worked to improve my own skills around a decade ago. Watch the best fighters and figure out how to be more like them. Artur Kyshenko was probably the guy I got the most from in terms of how my technique, attacks, defense look.
    I hope everyone enjoys the Buakaw episode.

    I don’t watch a lot of Buakaw but I naturally do the knee entry you’re talking about. I wasn’t taught to do this way it just feels naturally advantageous when you think about the long guard. I use it from time to time in sparring.

    Buakaw was what made me start training Muay Thai. I really liked his style. I am right handed and left footed, so a fight in orthodox stance but my style evolves around kicking because I have a karate background. Seeing Buakaw throwing those switch kicks made me realize that this is the style I want to incorporate.
