Inside the Pocket Combinations 🥊
One of the biggest mistakes I see is people only training long-range combinations. The reality is, fights don't stay at kicking range forever. Eventually, someone closes the distance.
That's why you need to learn how to fight inside the pocket.
Short punches, elbows, knees, tight hooks, uppercuts, and good positioning can completely change a fight. The key isn't throwing wild shots—it's staying balanced, keeping your guard tight, creating small angles, and making every strike count.
Don't just practice getting into the pocket. Practice winning once you're there.
Train smart. Drill with purpose. 👊

When throwing a knee, I personally like to strike with the point of my knee.
For me, this is the style I prefer and what has worked best throughout my career. There are different ways to do things in Muay Thai—this is simply my personal preference.

Big shout out to my beautiful daughter for helping out!

Have purpose. Live with purpose. Train with purpose. 👊
