Just getting back into the sports after a long period of being de-trained. I recently turned 44 and it has been since i was 28 that i practised any form of martial arts. Now i still got the techniques in my head, but no longer in my body. My youngest son recently saw an old video of me when i was in my late teens training Muay Thai & taekwondo and now he wants me to teach him. He's autistic and the few clubs where i live unfortunatly are not eager to accept him. Mainly because he's only 8 and he's not so comfortable with crowds and his motor skills are not so well developed. So i decided to get back to the basics myself and see if i can train him, at least until he's comfortable enough and confident enough to train with other people in the club. This video is helping me help my son, so thank you for this, truely.

Recently quit the gym I was going to. This video is an exemplary example why. You taught me more in a effective manner in 20 minutes, than I have learned my past year there. They are a competitive gym too. Actively competing in tournaments & the such. Unfortunately its the only gym in my area. But everything is so political & divisive, that it gets in the way of learning. Ill be competing in a IKF event January 7th. I have a small home gym that me & a couple buddies train & spar in. Videos like this are worth more than you could ever possibly imagine. Thank you

Awesome. I'm glad you agree. Not every gym has that mentality. I think it's important to let your students pick and choose different styles and techniques. I mean, some thing are clearly just wrong. But aside from those there are many variations on doing things right.

@@GabrielVargaOfficial truth. The instructor at the muay Thai gym I went to use to give me shit for kicking karate style instead of muay Thai style (trained karate and tkd for 10 years so it was more natural). I ended up using Thai style for leg kicks but I find my karate style faster for body and head kicks. Also find having the 2 styles of kicking throws people off in sparring as they have different ranges and timing.

I cannot stop watching this channel. You are a great teacher. I would like to see more videos with drills to do with a partner like the one you did with your Brother. I am practicing them every week and I am better on seeing strikes coming at me and counter. Something that I am find to be more challenging is when my partner throws compos with low kick high kick and then spinning kick. I find it challenging to block it. So I must be quick and move away.
