I don’t know if you guys have heard… but a few weeks ago they made some fairly big changes to the clinching in Lumpini. photo by Michael Soo From what I understand, fighters can continue to grab opponents from the shoulders up. Knee’s have to be scoring knees not just slaps to the opponents thighs. ...

So while we’re on the subject of David Pacquette… last night I had the opportunity to meet him. I told him I thought it was good fight, but he didn’t have much to say about it.

Complex Training for Muaythai Power
2007-10-26 19:37:00
By Mark Mian of the AlterCenter Boxers and martial artists have always been warned about developing heavy, slow and inefficient muscles by lifting weights. Beyond pushups, pullups, and situps Thai fighters themselves rarely engage in other forms of resistance training to supplement their conditioning. There is merit to this: weight lifting alone will ... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

I’m sure you’ve seen horse racing use the photo finish when a race is too close to call. I think K-1 needs to implement a post fight photo… so we can see how much damage a fighter sustained. (Joking) You’ll see what I’m talking about in a moment. There has been a lot of ...
