A long and tiring weekend this weekend, driving 10 hours to Gothenburg and 10 hours back in 48 hours.

It was great to get Endre back in the ring after some time off and he didn’t look like he’d taken any time off at all.

Made weight professionally and conducted himself as a gentleman and athlete at all times.

Leo was a dangerous and technical opponent and a credit to his team and it was very beneficial to share the time in the ring with him.

We found out early in the fight that our clinch was superior and our boxing was working well to tie our opponent up after heavy kick work on the outside. The very aggressive clinch was too much and the fight was stopped after the second standing count of the second round.

The games we’ve played seem to have done the trick in the flexibility we needed to flow into the appropriate game plan. Endre was aggressive and assertive and very coachable at all times and I’m very proud of him for many reasons, well done!

A massive thanks to @ebbajohanne who was flawless as a second throughout the day. And to @tommyhansen444 and Ada for being so welcoming and kind to us, it was such a pleasure to meet you.

Thank you to @fightercentre for hosting us and for putting on such a fun and rewarding show to be a part of.

It is always a pleasure to do my job in Sweden, they are carrying Scandinavian muaythai and I believe the rest of us should model our conduct and approach to develop on their system if we are to have the best chance of growing in Norway.

See you in November! But first, the nationals are just around the corner

As a revolt against the suffocating tide of AI generated images, over edited videos and chat gpt promoted texts, here’s the absolute bare minimum effort, and please consider this the absolute maximum that’ll be posted here from now

And I can’t stress it enough, the unwillingness of so many coaches to show even a spec of individuality is nauseating

Pure clean training, no voice overs, no fancy nonsense and absolute no AI same as everyone else horse shit templates

I will do my best to be intellectually rigorous, artistically adventurous but I will always be technologically lackadaisical

Oh and this was a fun warm up game you can steal, students absolutely love it

Please enjoy a month of free coaching tips, i put actual effort in, comment”tidbits”

My back and neck have been hurt pretty badly the last months.

I’ve been trying some exercises I’ve not done before to try and get my spine loaded in different ways and positions, with sometimes fluctuating tension, and it’s been really cool feeling my body work as one unit and not isolated. Movements over muscles so to speak

I’ve done 10’s of thousands of rounds on the pads and trained very hard since I was 13, in all sorts of sports and ways, and at 35 I can feel I need to sharpen up and change my ways, or I’m going to hurt myself real bad.

Grip ball kettle bell side carries
Banded “chaos” side carries
Shoulder/side loaded ball carries
Front loaded ball carries

It was a nice little add on to my session

I’m not going to prescribe things I’m new to, but this is something that makes sense to me now, and maybe I’ll keep sharing it

Absolutely over the moon and moved by this gift.

My step dad is one of the most important people in my life and one of my biggest inspirations growing up, and there is precisely zero chance I would have made it in Muay Thai without him. His kind heart and rugged spirit have helped make me who I am.

The pirate Paal shield and the beautiful Cornish flag will hang with immense pride at the Norwegian combat academy.

Proud of where I am, but rooted deep in where I came from

@lasermasterltduk thank you! Absolutely beautiful work you’ve done 🙏 anyone in Cornwall needing any metal work or cutting/laser look no further

Keep it simple! You knowing things about the kick is only important if you can make people do the things you know without having to tell them

How many birds with one stone?

How many stones total?

For me, one roundhouse, about 4 birds in 2 stones, and I don’t think it can get any better

I have precisely zero patience for the habit of not intending to land a strike on the partner when doing defence drills

If you aren’t actually intending to hit them, they aren’t training defence, they’re just waving their limbs about

Once you focus on landing the shot, they focus on defence, purely. They have to move their feet different, shift their weight different, and, suffer consequences of negligence and lack of experience differently.

If you want to be a good partner you must want to hit your opposite

Anti clinch game, the only goal is stay out of the clinch, the game is made more difficult round after round

Great for finding your way in and out and away from clinch
