No Classes this Week

This week is reading week, and Tait isn't going to hold our class until it's over. Classes should resume Tuesday, October 20th.

If anything changes we will update you. Keep your eyes open here or on the facebook group. Thanks.

Exchanges: Watch this fight!

We were talking today about returning with strong weapons in retaliation to your opponent's offense: basically proper exchanges in Muay Thai style.

This is a one hell of a fight, that starts off at a blistering pace and just keeps going. These guys know how to exchange, and don't let up.

Enjoy "Clickrit vs. Nuengsiam"

Fight Video: Saenchai Sor Kingstar vs Shinya Ishige

Here's some more Saenchai. If you aren't sick of seeing him yet, you're in luck...I have some more videos of him that will posted in the coming days. I figure I may as well share him with you all before he officially retires.

If you watch enough of the fight, you'll see Saenchai throw in more than one surprise technique ;)

Enjoy the show!

Fight Video: Khem Sitsongpeenong Vs Shiriya Ishige

Here's the fight of the day. My last video posted was a clip of Khem having a really hard fight against the masterful Saenchai (seriously, who ever has a good day against Saenchai?)...so I thought I'd show you what Khem's capable of. He's definitely at the top of his weight class in Thailand (I'd love to see him fight Buakao under Thai rules). Watch how he stalks his opponent...scary stuff

By the way, Khem Sitsongpeenong is the same as Khem Fairtex and Khem Sor Pleonjit...he's changed camps a few times.

Thai Round Music

In Thailand, the round music is played by a live band. The music gets progressively more intense as the rounds continue.

Fight Video: Saenchai Sor Kingstar vs Khem Sor Pleonjit

This was taken from OneSongchai Tsunami Event. I've posted on both of these fighters before, so you should know they are among the top of the top. Khem however is obviously on the bigger side (I'm pretty sure his current fighting weight is about 15 pounds heavier than Saenchai's). This is a great fight, with a lot of good technical exchange.



Usually I'd rather let you draw your own conclusions, but one thing I think is interesting to consider: how Saenchai, as a smaller fighter, asserts himself as an equal if not dominant in the fight against a larger Khem (try thinking less about the fact that Saenchai is just a technical genius who can throw and move in a way most people can't, and look more at the overall choices he is making in the ring).
