My second fight
- Thread starter Slihn
- Start date
So, what happened? Did you win or lose? Were you able to work what you'd trained -- or did it all fall apart in the ring?

Good fight man, keep training and learning from your fights.
You did a really amazing job for your second fight and IÂ’m not just saying that. IÂ’m not sure what all of the rules of engagement are for a muay thai battle so I apologize if any of my suggestions break the rules but here goes:
muay thai: He seemed to be clinging a lot. In the little muay thai experience I have I was taught to move my grapple inside of the opponents arms and lock my hands behind his head for more control. By putting your elbows together after the hand lock it become really hard for an opponent to escape your grip and puts their head in rang of you knee.
Aikido: I was also taught that by controlling the head you can better manipulate an opponentÂ’s center of gravity as the body must follow where the head leads. Example: if you push someoneÂ’s head toward the ground their body will head toward the ground right after it. When he grabs you if you control the head you can stop him from gunning you down with knees by jerking his head right or left. This causes him to lose balance and makes kneeing tough and largely ineffective.
muay thai: I was also taught to intercept kicks and punches with the elbow and knee. By offering you opponents kick a slightly bent knee so as to let them impact the point of the knee you can defuse some of their momentum before the full extent of the kick and they may very well hurt themselves on you. ItÂ’s also important to note that because this tech doesnÂ’t require you to bring your knee all the way up it is lower to the ground and therefore easier for you to maintain balance after absorbing the impact of the kick.
I hope my comments have been helpful and wish you the best of luck in your next match.
Sometime we see ourselves best through the eyes of others. To grow we must be open to the idea of growth. Student of many master of none.
