    Gabriel, I owe you an apology. When I first found your channel, the first 3 videos I seen you started with how many belts and compititions you had won. I didnt like this and created a horrible judgement about you and talked shit about you being so up yourself. Now after having more and more of your videos play on my screen.. I have realized that you actually have the most informative, knowledgeable, technically sound and well edited martial arts RUclips channels. Thankyou so much for being who you are and please don't give up. Continue being proud of yourself and can't wait to see you compete again and also coach a team of killers in the future.

      Mine is left hook to the body off the slipped jab. There's an excellent championship caliber Muay Thai fighter that worked with David Christian that produced a video that taught me a lot about it. You should check him out! 😛

    Amazing content as usual.
    My two cents, as a (right handed) southpaw I can tell that the rear kick to the body is devastating because it attacks the liver; you just have to time the cross and it's almost a knockdown, even if you throw from the lead leg, it is most about precision than power actually.

    Just the best channel! My favorite counter is whatever is current modern and working : ) on that topic if you are going a year out to get 100k subs. Do updated versions of your most popular videos. Every 3months or so expand on something you have previously done. The channel Jedi does jiu jitsu is an example of fresh way to make older content have the entertainment factor. Whether you making videos or fighting keep it you.. keep it personal.. and entertain !

    Btw i have a question
    Is it okey if i rarely use my cross
    Because i noticed
    That i keep my opponent away just with my jabs
    And my cross makes me feel vulnerable
    That's why i rarely use it.
    Is this problem commen between fighters and is it a big problem?

    How well does Muay Thai transition to mma?

    • @peppa7926
      @peppa7926 3 года назад +4

      I know you're asking Gabriel not me but I'll give you my opinion anyways, in MMA you have to have a bit of a wider stance to defend take downs and can't stand so tall, you also have to be more cautious throwing kicks because of take downs, you also have to be more mobile and the way a lot of people do Muay Thai can be flat footed, you also can't defend with a high guard that well in MMA because of the smaller gloves so you have to have a more active defense than you do in Muay Thai. Muay Thai does have a good clinch (even though instead of having hands around the neck on the inside like in a Muay Thai style clinch you need an under hook so you don't get taken down in MMA), sweeps, elbows, and powerful kicks though and is a very good base to expand off of.
      To sum this up, in my opinion Muay Thai is a solid base style but you'll have to change up a few things such as getting more creative by incorporating other martial arts techniques like stuff from Karate and Boxing, widening your tall Muay Thai stance and becoming more mobile to make you harder to get taken down, keeping an active defense and not shelling up in a high guard to defend attacks, and making sure you have an under hook in the clinch to prevent takedowns.

      I usually go over peoples head, go fast but stop it right before their head, or set it up and throw it very slowly so I know it’ll likely land. If it does, my sparring partner will realize what happened and we reset.

    Hey Champ, I just started Muay Thai a few weeks ago and yesterday my coach was hitting me pretty hard during sparring. We spar after every practice. Everyone there has to spar him and he usually beats on us. He apologized for going so hard. But now I could have a concussion I feel.pretty unusual so should I look for a different gym?

      Sounds a little intense if you ask me. Your training partners should be taking care of you. Granted our head coach will sometimes turn up the heat but usually with attacks to the body. Maybe visit other gyms to see if there's a better culture. If you're not having fun you won't be consistent.
