Muay Thai - 1 hour lol got high-kicked in the head while doing light sparring, i hate some guys who spar like it’s a real fight and don’t know how to measure and work on their techniques.
19/06/12
MMA - 1 hour nothing worth nothing besides i’m with a nasty habit of getting peppered by right-handed fighter’s jabs, gotta correct that. Slowly i’m coming back to shape.

First, and in general, I am glad to see you are back.
RE: Guys who think everything is K-1 or ABCC.
Use them for what they are worth.
They “prove” your techniques. They are not the ones you try to hone a new technique or strategy on, but they can help you fine tune yourself in ways “better” partners can’t.
You pretty much called it when you wrote “they don’t know how to measure and work on their techniques.”, but here is how that works to your advantage. They will advance slower than you. So find a technique/strategy to “solve” them, and feel free to use it. The bonus is you don’t have to feel bad if they get a bit banged up.
Just a thought.

Robert A

I cannot remember if you fight left or right side forward, but the two classic solutions are:
If you fight left side forward/as a classic right hander:
Keep your right hand up and get your own jab going. Use is to break their rhythm and cover your footwork. Even if you only get them to move back so you can throw a kick
If you fight southpaw/right side forward:
You should still jab, but it is a bit more awkward and angle intensive. Be content with just making them block, even if you are basically running your lead into theirs. The goal is to either suck them into a position where you get an angle to throw a hook, a knee to the body(Machida uses this well and you both come from Karate backgrounds), they step back and you can throw a front kick or a low/mid round kick, or you cover an opening to step with your left foot and throw a straight right.
You could probably cross post this in combat and get a better/more rounded response if you are at a loss.

Muay Thai - 1 hour, revenge is sweet, knocked down a guy who talked too much on the sparring, conected a simple 1,2 followed with a left kick to the ribs and he crumbled and start covering up.
It was funny as he got real pissed off and took that personally as the teacher was saying that sparring were going to get more intensive and to focus.
take that poser =D
lol, i know that i must not judge performance by one training session but it was satisfying in a sadistic way.

But Muay Thai is doing some great favors in relation to resistance and willingness to trade blows, my guard is much tighter and i’m developing more into an “attacker” than relying solely on counter-punching mostly as before.

HIIT - 15 minutes of tabata knees and low kicks on the heavy bag.
25/06/12
Muay Thai - 1 hour Pad Work, Light Sparring, worked some techniques.
Wednesday is gonna be heavy sparring, looking forward to it.
26/06/12
MMA - 1 hour today it was a breeze ground n pound and bjj techniques, most of the guys in this gym are muay thai-focused so they are practically newbies to the ground game, so i just had some fun and breezed through the grappling part.
27/06/12
Muay Thai - Well just noticed a big flaw in my game while sparring, whenever i have distance i can dodge pretty easily the rear low kick from an orthodox opponent or when i’m too close i can close the distance with striking while not giving distance to the kick. My lead leg is pretty beaten up since i wasn’t able to check those kicks while exchanging blows.
Back to the drawing board =)
