(video above) I feel loose, but explosive. My weight shifts forward and back without hesitation, there are a few gaps in the fluidity of movement, the way an engine might get an air bubble and hiccup, but I feel good. My fists, knees, and shins are making nice popping sounds against the leather teardrop bag and my eyes keep g...

Lots of people ask me how I can fight so often, for so long, and my approach is pretty simple. I feel like I'm Saitama One Punch Man telling about my sit ups and push ups. But it's mostly a combination of continuous movement, developing pain tolerance, heat, hangs and squats. You train to be injured so injury isn't an obstacl...

Welcome to Episode 10 of Muay Thai Bones. Lots of deep level discussion of Muay Thai, see below all the topics covered. This podcast was cut a little short of our usual super long format due to some technical difficulties (we're still getting the hand of this!), we talked for another hour and a half! But what we did capture i...

Kevin and I rolled slowly down ever-narrowing streets, looking for Kru Mou's house, where he teaches Muay Thai to his students. We got to a bend that we weren't entirely sure we could fit down in the rental car, so I got out and walked, following the little blue dot on my GPS as it crawled toward the destination we had pinned...

This is what I've been working on lately. As many of you know Dieselnoi, the King of Knees, has been at my gym Petchrungruang weekly, advising and mentoring everyone. He's there through my patron support through a project we are calling Legends in Residence. One of the awesome things of having him there is that I'm getting ev...

This is something I've been thinking a lot about lately, and working on, maybe you'll find it something you want to look into improving too. It started to become a big focus after my session with Namsaknoi (linked below), and then came into greater focus when training with Arjan Net, and with Dieselnoi in my gym right now.&nb...

Bank, or Tongchai as he's called when he's fighting, stepped over the ropes into the ring and the blue satin robe around him slithered in after him. His gaze was on the floor, but his eyes didn't seem to register anything. He was lost inside himself; the fabric against his skin might as well have been on the rafters for how d...

We've always wanted to make an audio version of new Muay Thai Library sessions because we know that sitting down to watch for an hour every two weeks is sometimes more than that a schedule can handle. We put up a few audio tracks on soundcloud a while back and lots of people wrote to say how much they loved listening to them ...

This technique vlog is all about the small things we practice in training that end up playing out in fights, in particular how dominance in the ring has a performed component. The inspiration of the vlog was the legend Dieselnoi telling our Lumpinee fighter that he made an error in backing up after he had knocked down his opp...

One of the great things about the Muay Thai Library, for me, is that it's an endeavor to preserve and archive the Muay of Thailand in all its variety. Golden Age Legends and great fighters of now are obvious gems, but you can find some truly incredible Muay Thai among the trainers who work, day in and day out, shaping the fig...

Here is my technique vlog on my continual development in the Muay Thai Long Guard, a really important defensive position that you don't really hold, but use in conjunction with other guards and strikes. You want to build balance and contextual feeling with this guard, and that's what I'm focusing on right now.
There are many wonderful things in this session, several of them unique. For one, this is the first session I've produced highlighting a regular trainer from my own gym in Pattaya, Petchrungruang. Secondly, Kru Kai is one of the best Muay Khao padmen I've seen in all my travels across Thailand, so we get to look into what...

We're at Lumpinee Stadium. Bank is tipping his head forward, his gaze on the floor, as he listens to Dieselnoi's instructions on how he should approach his fight. Bank is "on deck," sitting next to trainers and cornermen from our gym, waiting for the fight before him to finish before entering the ring. He's shrouded in a roya...

We had Dieselnoi come to Petchrungruang for a month between February and March. The idea was to take this absolutely incredible man, a tower from the Golden Age of Muay Thai and a pillar of the Muay Thai community in Thailand, who is more or less a satellite to the core of contemporary Muay Thai gyms. Dieselnoi has connection...

My technique vlogs for patrons is me talking shop in the gym, sharing things that I'm working on as a fighter, often techniques or strategies I've learned from legends and krus when filming for the Muay Thai Library, and things I've learned in fights and through my 7 years of training in Thailand. I'm always working on improv...

Many of you have asked for this, now all of you have it: Namsaknoi is in the Muay Thai Library. He's a very charming person, playful but damn... when you feel him shift from his evasiveness to his "I'm just going to stand right here," you don't feel like he's so nice anymore. When I explained to him what the Library is, and t...

I try to keep informing my patrons in long form vlogs detailing techniques I'm working on. Most of these come from techniques you'll find in the Muay Thai Libary. As I train with someone I pick up something that connects with me and I usually bring it into my training. I urge everyone to do this as it keeps your training fres...

The driving force behind training with the best fighters, legends, and krus from all over Thailand is this understanding that something is being lost from the Muay Thai of Thailand.
