Taught yesterday at Airr Phantip studio NAK MUAY LAO GYM and at Las Vegas Kung Fu Academy private lessons with Ariana, Rick and Sifu Isaac at LAKA. I’ve covered footwork at lot with Nak Muay Lao gym. James one of their pro fighter loved the footwork and it’s a game changer. Teaching the all the participants about the importance of the frame, the footwork, and understanding your own anatomy structure bs your opponents structure how you can utilize those data points to your advantage. We covered the weight distribution how little movements can make a different in both empty full contact to having a weapon on your hands such as a stick or a knife. We did the double stick transition to empty application since one does not carry a pair of rattan sticks in their hands 24/7. Taking out your opponent in millisecond. I’ve learned throughout the 63 years in training martial arts, the street fights, the live challenges occurred at my studio, being challenge while training security forces, your training has to come in an instant without thinking. It has to be natural and not forced. Repetition is a must. As the late Bruce Lee said, the person who trained in one technique 10,000 times is more dangerous than a person knowing 10,000 techniques.
