The reality tv/tournament show is being in Thailand, featuring some of the best fighters on the planet in a great weight class. Google or Youtube any of these guys.

The roster beats the Contender Asia's in my personal opinion, and will make for much closer fights as well.

It airs live at 230pm Bangkok time

Yoddecha Sityodtong vs Wanlop Sithpolek (video)

Watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpEU9m6Hw9w

Yoddecha (blue) and Wanlop (red) were two of the most prominent middle weight Thais from (I think) the 90's- early 2000. Both fought a lot of international competitions, as the middle weight pool of fighters is more popular outside of Thailand.

While the fight starts off plodding, it has an explosive ending...not too much of a surprise considering the history of dishing out KO's these two have.

Home (gym) work!

If you are looking to take your technique to the next level and build some extra skills, you should come early and do some bag work or drills.

Some of the students showed up today really early (before the 5pm class) and wanted to work on their kicks. I saw that they had a common goal and gave them some sets they could do together on the bag before class...and they each made some small improvements they took with them into class.



You'll see the fighter's do this often; they'll come in, warmup and do some work together

So come on in, grab a buddy and get working. If you are on your own or you aren't sure what you should be working on, just ask any of the instructors and we can steer you in the right direction :)

PS. A lot of students stay back after a class to work too. Feel free to ask someone if they are up for some post-class pads or drills! It's good for both of you
