Last night Muay Thai class. Taught some footwork to give advantage into their fight game. The triangle footwork and the full step two stepper footwork. Footwork is mostly forgotten in any sparring whether be boxing, Muay Thai or karate sparring. Footwork is essential and using the timing with it along with an understanding of rhythm of your opponent. TAMA Martial Arts Dayton Muay Thai Real Kali

Visited my older brother earlier today. He served in the Armed Forces (USAirForce), was drafted after we arrived from Philippines in 1968. He did not go in till 1969. He was smart to sign up in US Air Force due to the long line in recruiting Army office, next door to it was the US Air Force recruiting office. There he signed up and two of his Filipino friends that came to US about the same time with us joined the Army. Both died in Vietnam. My brother ended up serving 26 years. He has a lot to do of my martial arts up bringing. Unfortunately, he had a stroke 3 years ago almost died and have been paralyzed since then. The rest of my family are in Philippines with one brother and sisters there and two other sisters here in US. We are 8 left of the siblings. I believe the oldest is 92. I’m blessed to have this big of family. Although, I missed talking with my brother 2 or more times a day, when we pray for someone that is either a stranger or who we know that needs prayers. There are three things that are important to me, my faith in God, my family and my word of honor. TAMA Martial Arts Dayton Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Dayton Muay Thai

Taught yesterday at Airr Phantip studio NAK MUAY LAO GYM and at Las Vegas Kung Fu Academy private lessons with Ariana, Rick and Sifu Isaac at LAKA. I’ve covered footwork at lot with Nak Muay Lao gym. James one of their pro fighter loved the footwork and it’s a game changer. Teaching the all the participants about the importance of the frame, the footwork, and understanding your own anatomy structure bs your opponents structure how you can utilize those data points to your advantage. We covered the weight distribution how little movements can make a different in both empty full contact to having a weapon on your hands such as a stick or a knife. We did the double stick transition to empty application since one does not carry a pair of rattan sticks in their hands 24/7. Taking out your opponent in millisecond. I’ve learned throughout the 63 years in training martial arts, the street fights, the live challenges occurred at my studio, being challenge while training security forces, your training has to come in an instant without thinking. It has to be natural and not forced. Repetition is a must. As the late Bruce Lee said, the person who trained in one technique 10,000 times is more dangerous than a person knowing 10,000 techniques.
