fast and also TP TP to the leg t to the
body TI to the leg and then count and
then switch kick and what are some
counters and fake for mov fers that you
like to
do like or sometime interrupt sometime
you kick I guess that's tee you know or
shaking like a simple me and my brother
favorite and also M people know from art
is about the long knee so here you know
here so we like this and then we
[Music]
s so we just stay here t
we Mi with the
longe and also we good long KNE in the K
sometime when you king you are you are
swim swim pop like that we are swim you
swim up and swim like that PO I use the
arm control when I use the arm control
like that you know I make the distance
and then like that this is this is uh
our favorite that is that people know
when we uh use most most we use in the
kining make the distance and then step
me what what are also some other good
counters that you like to do sometime
they left KNE so I just I the counter
with the sweep you know like some people
come come with like a Boop like that
when I see H you fake fake with right
right and then left knee I go like that
like a Time attack so timing is a really
important thing very important my style
is about the timing inter off and
counter attack not so much the about the
offense of my style because I'm I most
Ed about the counter attack and
interrupt like a t you know all timing
with the Sweep come I guess it's
important that you know to understand
yes it's defensive fighting but a lot of
it's timing right it's not just
defending but it's all countering and
timing yes because sometime when you
defend you have to keep look uh watching
also not just the defend yeah and also
for my sty when the most when I'm
fighting or sparing I just look I'm not
look up there I just look about there so
as just look about there to see the see
the all the action all the movement from
my appointment and then if what day do I
can check and then counter or I can you
know counter attack or defend if you
have the good will you can be good
defend and good counter because of you
see you know how about if your will see
not good or like a uh not good you
cannot good counter or cannot uh defend
sometime if you think oh maybe your
defend not good try to change the the
wheel maybe sh to see like a lower you
know and then try to uh keep try and
practice to maybe it can be a good cou
I'll ask KF you know how he would like
to counter for certain situations so KF
let's just say for example you're
fighting somebody heavy punches right
how do you counter what would you do all
with the long knee with
first first first if you are if you are
you come with the boxing first for sure
I I will
TP I will tip here TP you there and then
you me it's okay yeah it's okay don't
worry don't worry okay I just I just
here and then when you come again I just
walk
defend I lead your action your move and
then I'm defend and then counter or I
lead your move and I'm interrup
like you going to punch or you going to
throw something and interrupt with the
tee first Le first see first defend and
then counter lead first or they're going
to come defend cter or interrupt C okay
or sometime that's why you see me sweep
when they punching because I see first I
look and then when they to I
just okay how about somebody who's
trying to come and clinch you like so
cow same same as the uh uh pattern of
the T first t t here and then come out
use the angel kick but you cannot do
like that all the time sometime you have
to stay H you come you stay you know
stay H see you you stay am always block
and swim and
swim and
swi like that when they try to to grab
and block when they swim and swim when
they try to cap and block when they swim
and swim to get all to get better in the
position to stop them the hardest one I
think is what if you're against M Fe
someone who's just waiting to counter
you same thing do you do you wait or do
you attack what's a good strategy when
five I think I'm most of the wait for
counter attack I think for me is better
because sometime if iight with more if I
offend first maybe they know and they
can lead my timing I think I'm I will
use the Intero or like I use most of the
counter attack couple and then the last
one is I
gu you know someone who's far you know
and just does a lot of kicks you know
kicks your leg kick body kick head
what's a good strategy
then don't let them set the kick you
just sorry no no
no yeah because if you like that they
kick they kick they can kick so you you
[Laughter]
try to uh stop their timing first with
the tee and then get closer and then as
a fighter and as a coach what would you
do if you know say you're against
someone that's high pressure you're
tired can't counter you're slow because
you're tired what do you do then you
know when
tired can't do anything only one thing
do the ti to do your best because when
you TI but when I'm TI hard to do like
what you think you know like a what you
going to do difficult because when you
tie it but you can control before you
tie it okay example if you
find that but in this moment you don't
need to be like a that is you tight it
you just stay strong and and let them KN
you st you know is them with with with
Arm Control
you like this it's not not not TI
because you you control or you in the K
you block them you control them and then
you breathing breathing you know uh like
a sometime you TIY it because of you
swim too much in the kin or you panic or
you swim because you don't good with the
arm control that's why you have to swim
when you cannot Arm Control when you
cannot do the arm control you have to
swim all the time when you have to swim
all the time you get tired because why
because your arm control not good huh
and then you uh cannot stop the your
appointment with lock or with holding
you know and would you use the same
strategy for someone who say just got
knocked down like say for example if I
and you knock me down right should I do
I'm still dizzy what should I do
oh go don't try to like try to take the
time and uh use the time for like back
take your time sit little bit not not
just then get up maybe you you know
dizzy and take your time because you
have C you know and then get up and then
try to grab defend and then grab because
why because when you knock down and then
opponent come so with with many so
defend defend defend first and then
counter defend first and then counter
and at the moment try to grab for sure
when you knock down they will come like
a when they you C
what if I fight somebody and they T and
they tall you know what what what I do
catch the leg catching the leg
here catch
leg
simp block the distance front defense
know and then chop the leg like a
punching chop the leg
punching when they come
stay
again KF what is a good strategy for a
short fighter against a tall fighter oh
for sure for the short fighter
against kick because when fight with
someone tall you you use the body kick
is difficult for the Turning because
they are tall so when you low kick you
can turn more you know here and also
it's more easy and better because if you
leg kick when with someone tall use like
a style no style y a low kick over hand
punching a low kick low kick and then
over hand you know mix it up you know
yeah but but uh focus on the leg Li on
the leg you know attack on the leg leg
leg how about uh fighting against
someone who's fast for sure when they F
you you timing cannot catch
them you use they F when they move
Escape too much they move back a lot
they get tight you know try to use like
often with more cow how do you fight
against someone that's just more
experienc just better oh more Cy only
one one thing if I be someone more
experience and better than do everything
if you w think they kick your ass you
just try even don't wait for losing but
try to make uh try to do something and
then make your chance back or get better
so just just just just try to pressure
pressure press make tight that's why I
say I'm more sometime I need to train
for pressure to because if I have
someone like a good experience or more
experience than me you know what do you
think is good strategy against more of
like the western style fighter you know
like very heavy hands good boxing in uh
the FR now they are really fast and you
know uh sometime when you got like this
you know here you know like you training
like this okay for fight with tight
people with the more tight but sometime
when fight with the some like kickboxing
sty or really fast you know you sometime
if stay like this you can get like a
offense from them very fast or for the
surprice maybe it's not good so more uh
defend here here here here but if like
that you see from here if like that you
know get you know so I I I defend most
because now they have like a spinning
back kick or anything you know so have
to be tight tight on the body tight
defense when fight with the forer they
good really fast
speed if you fight like a more radium
difficult you know sometime you have to
use more cow when you are cow hard for
them defend because you just pressure
pressure pressure and also in the moment
you have to be careful also and use more
cow uh but be careful the boxing cow is
the answer but make sure you are good
card and strong in the kins because if
you not good card or not in the kin it's
me you going to kill yourself by your
style style one question about that what
is is the best way to build up good
cardio for Muay Tha is it just a lot of
training hitting bag pad work clinch
running what you think this is like a
what you train is you are become main
the pay sping I become more you know C
or do building up the Koo when pet work
you start do most of work on like a
piure and grab the pat holder and then
they hit you with the pack you Bo you te
you always get in kin and then that is
most about 60 70% in the pet you only
grab and KN that and keep long it's not
just 3 and then come out and also when
grab KNE the the pet not just KN KNE KNE
sometime you can when you feel like a
tight you can wait a little bit by like
a your foot workor and then keep do
going again like a less less in the
moment maybe uh 2 second you know and
then start start to work again keep long
uh working you know uh
also knee the back 300 knee 500 knee 500
knees you forget about the tight take
the
time you know yeah because when fighting
if you think about oh tight maybe you
you tight but I think about the the uh
the time that you st you uh you keep St
