Samart vs Nizuma: If you don't know, now you know. (video)

An out of his prime Samart Payakaroon  showing some serious skill. Every straight punch month makes me think of this fight. Timing, distance, application...it's all so perfectly worked in here. Samart isn't even at the top of his game here, but he's just THAT good.

Straight Punch Month begins!

And we are back!  Back to school, back to basics. Straight punches are the first kind of punch you learn at YMT and for good reason...they are incredibly powerful, and provide the base upon which you can learn many other techniques.

This first week of January, we will focus purely on technique. The goal is to develop proper mechanics, which will help derive maximum power.

From there, the following weeks will move on to application: offensive, defensive, etc. Take your time this week to make the sword as sharp as possible,  so that we can start to use it strategically later on!
