Yeah, I have to read from a script in order to fit everything in with the timing of what’s happening in the video. I’m not a good enough actor to put in the same enthusiasm that way. I just did it in that one section because there was so much background noise from the gym at that moment that I would have had to shout to be heard.I'm going to change my opinion on some of the advice we gave you. I think that for you, 100% doing the voice lines during the demonstration is the way to go.
The joy that I saw in the first few videos when you're talking about martial arts...we don't see that in a voiceover.
@Tony Dismukes you were wondering if you and I were on the same page with low stance, in my case low horse stance. This is the same concept that I often talk about. The only difference is that my body is upright and which allows me to punch and to kick from this position. The height of the stance is relative to the height of my opponent. The shorter my opponent the lower I will need to go in order to use the same concept.

I say use both. It kept my focus and didn't even miss the "joy" when I saw him lower his stance it reminded me of a conversation I had with him. When he showed some of the head control techniques, I remember how my MMA sparring partner tried to do the same and how much I didn't like it. It made me think of my training.I'm going to change my opinion on some of the advice we gave you. I think that for you, 100% doing the voice lines during the demonstration is the way to go.

This is pretty much what long guard does in general. A person is forced to deal with a long guard. If they ignore it, then the long guard can turn into an offensive weapon.The Muay Thai "long guard" is designed to keep people from getting close to land short range strikes like elbows and would be a great initial defense for headbutts also.
Just when I think I understand it, my instructors tweak some small detail, or show me a knew variation on application or follow up.This is pretty much what long guard does in general.

When I taught kung fu, it was a sin to not address the long guard. The truth is that the hand of the long guard is often more than half way to a target. All it needs is a quick step forward to land either a fist, elbow, forearm or initiate grappling.
Yeah, it's the same underlying concept, but the optimized application changes according to the context.@Tony Dismukes you were wondering if you and I were on the same page with low stance, in my case low horse stance.

The stance allows me to spring forward to punch or kick.

Not to high jack your thread. I just want to point it out because we had a conversation about it and you were sure if we were thinking the same thing in terms of stance level.
I'm slowly learning the "How to" for these issue. The energy needed = get stronger legs and dynamic leg endurance. Mobility only becomes easy when this is at it's highest. Leg kicks seem to be a mixture of turning the shin bone into the kick or to shuffle forward at angle. There's a guy that comes to the gym every blue moon and he's got some nice lively kicks and he looks really comfortable with them. He seems kind of hype so I want to try this against him. I'm curious to see if he throws more or fewer kicks against me.The problem is that it's very energy intensive, especially if you're trying to move quickly, and also it's more difficult to properly defend leg kicks.
