A good tactic to use is to alternate between really stiff jabs and normal ones. It keeps your opponent gutessing and with this technique alone you can really expand upon your offence. Best of luck with the fights…make sure to post pics or videos. Remember…leg kicks are the shit.

Awesome. I think Muay Thai is the most pure excitement to be found in combat sports. I would love to move somewhere with a decent school someday, the closest thing around here is Dewey Cooper’s gym in d-town but that’s an hour drive for me.
Good luck! Is it headgear and shin pads?
Yeah, I’ve always felt the same…loved it before MMA came about. I was in the same seat as far as finding a good school…luckily, the one I train at opened in March by a couple of experienced guys that broke rank from the big name MMA school in Central TX. As for my fight its 12oz. gloves, cup, mouthpiece, and balls!
Had sparring session from 8pm to 9:30pm. I had pretty good session…giving all the guys fits with trying to deal with my jab. Most of the guys use their jab strictly for setting up…but I’m using mine to hit you…which makes the setting up a tad bit easier. Low and mid kicks were on point…as well as a few teep kicks that created a lotta distance if you know what I mean. Worked on my defense with one of the more experienced guys. Pretty productive day. Tommorrow morning more intervals and weights(hip dominant) in the evening.

I will definitely keep that in mind…and yes you’re right leg kicks are the shit. Especially with a good jab. Hey,didn’t I get in an online feud with you on Sherdog about Israel??lol.

Looks like my fight is off. And besides that,I haven’t trained in almost a month because our Muay Thai coach and Grappling coach had falling out with owner and left to start there own school. Their school just opened up couple weeks ago…I followed them.
Anyways,it sucks that my fight is off…oh well…guess I have get in on some grapplin’ tournaments…and amateur MMA. I had myself on a progression to MMA fights,but what the hell. Its all good. Just have to continue to train my ass off and maybe use some of my Judo background to smash some mofo’s on the mat for now.
That sucks for you. It is amazing how many fights get called off. I’ve had a couple of guys lined up for Muay Thai bouts and the cunts pulled the pin. Sounds as though the fight being off is a good thing for you seeing your training has died off.
I’d never go into a fight under trained. The dangers are just too high.[/quote]
Yeah,I took advantage of the time off from training to do some serious conditioning and strength training. When I started back traiining I felt like a million bucks but my timing was a little off.
