Learning Muay Thai, Updated

postedby ericnguyen on July21st,2008 tagged muaythai, personal

Two more months of training, since the last time I recorded myself. I seem a little faster and a little more responsive. It’s depressing to watch myself, though. The bit of extra range I’m developing seems like to be at the expense of crispness. Patience…

UPDATE: Mark (my trainer) commented below. I figured I’d put in a video of him working out with Neungsiam (his trainer, a pro fighter and former Lumpini champion) so people have some idea of how this is supposed to go. I should find one of Neungsiam training, for a view of the next level up.

Technique much better: improved balance, more integrated core, stronger snap at the end of strikes, and cool bandana.
