as a guy who spars 4-5 times a week I agree with this. also good to film spars and roast techniques after so we have to improve and learn more tricks into the bag
You right bro!
Hit the cardio, grappling, weights and conditioning super hard+light sparring is a great combination
I’m going to send this to some of my new students from now on; this covered everything thanks 🙏
Please do!
Super important message as you get older as well. At 46, with a lifetime of little injuries catching up with me, ‘play’ sparring is all I’ll ever do now, but it’ll keep me sharp and honest into my 50s and beyond!
Love to hear it!
Sparring is my favorite way to train, as long as you find partners that can keep it light and technical!
Love touch sparring for practicing principles and concepts after just learning them and getting reflexes and defense nice and tuned up. Only thing I dislike about touch sparring is it could train you to be too relaxed which isn’t always ideal in all cases especially against a pressuring round 1 front runner throwing full power punches trynna take your head off. I also don’t like how it can enforce bad habits like arm punches or aiming at non damaging targets like the top of the head instead of square on the chin. I think light sparring is great but nothing teaches you composure in real stressful exchanges like hard sparring Definately controversial but that’s just my humble opinion. I think most sparring should be light and fun, but there’s a time and place for hard sparring. On the other hand, hard sparring constantly you can also accumulate brain damage and also just forget to practice specific techniques/concepts due to the stressful nature of it.
You’re right! There is a time and place for different intensities of sparring.
This was so on point!
🙏🏽
You hella right coach ✅ agree with you 100 percent
🙏🏽
Great info Coach! Would love to learn from you in person 🙏
Always welcome!
Aight Lets Get it 💪🏽
Let’s go!
@@CoachMicahB where you at in thailand coach ?!
No way I come home from your class and find you here 💀💀 lesgo coach thanks for the sparring tonight!!
Any time!
Dope video
Appreciate that! Stay tuned
Spar at the beginning of every class with someone you are comfortable with. It will help make the light sparring feel more real since you are both fresh still. I did this for a while and i saw great benefit in improving my actual fighting skills.
Although I do believe once you and that person are comfortable, ask them for harder/faster rounds. Because nothing beats the real thing
Don’t mind that approach
Man you are so smart and your attitude is amazing. Take my money hahahaha
😂 trust me I’m not
Great video man. Btw I’m curious, what are your thoughts on those Primo gloves? Looking to get a pair for myself when I’m in BKK
love em!
@@CoachMicahB Are they your most comfortable gloves? Have u tried Winnings?
@@kortex628 winning is my favorite glove of all time.
@@CoachMicahB haha got u
Not fair that this uso is handsome AND a great fighter. Pick one sole 😭
Would love to learn in your gym coach I’ve never really done martial art I was in a couple of karate classes as a kid but never made pass white belt 😂 but I want to start learning Muay Thai boxing with your channel helps me with finding a good gym.
You should come to Wave Combat Sports in Tacoma one day!
@@CoachMicahB yeah definitely will do that. I’m in the LA/Cali area and I’ve been looking for a gym lately I’m trying to get back into martial arts i miss it wished i would have stayed in it when I was a kid
Nice "Nak-Muay" Cap💕💕
Hello from Thailand🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I spar every class, so I'm into this
🙏🏽
But I love sweeps 😢 I guess we can if we both agree. I totally love this. Not sensational. Just honest and true. Good stuff. 👍
🙏🏽 I love sweeps too, just know when and where to do them. As well as how hard.
@CoachMicahB ok, I'll learn the difference so far. I only go for sweeps when it's offered 🫴 on a silver platter. Very gentle. And compliments came after. Let us know when you come to Thailand 🇹🇭 😊. Keep it coming! 💯
I started training Muay Thai six months ago, and by sparring three times a week I've progressed significantly and haven't gotten (very) injured, only a few bruises.
That’s what’s up!! Love to see everyone growing so fast.
Any tips on cardio? I get gassed out so fast lol. I only started Muay Thai for about 2 months but want to increase cardio so I can maximize the sparring sessions.
Coming soon!
@@CoachMicahBperfect can’t wait! Got notis on! ❤ keep up uploading. Love the content
@@JawhBoyLeaf thanks for keeping those on!
Try Skipping the rope(36-40 min), Run 10 km(36-40 min), HIIT training ( sprinting with jogging(50 metres, 50 metres for 20 sets), running uphill
You will definitely become much better.
I am from Bangkok, a former Ratchadamnoen Muay Thai champ at 125 lb(57 kg), a sub-10 Ironman and a landlord of 12 condominiums (bought them in cash)
I am 175 cm(5'9", 125 lbs natural weight(57 kg)
I have started my day with 10 kg running in 36-40 minutes everyday. Now, I don't compete anymore, but I still train everyday. I have become a sub-10 Ironman and a sub-3 marathon runner.
If you want to improve the cardio, you gotta put the work in smartly and effectively.
@@JawhBoyLeaf I am a Muay Femur and I think cardio is important. When Muay Femur has cardio, Muay Khao(knee fighters) cannot derail your games.
Headgear?
WE SPARR ALL SIX DAYS A WEEK 5 TOUCH SPARRING AND ONE WITH HEAD GEAR FOR MY FIGHTERS.
Similar to us!
Yeah.... I think it's time to find a new gym for me.
Possibly 😢
No Diddy 😂
🤣
hey coach I ain't gay I swear but ur freckles lookin kinda cute homie
😂
i have these problem with newbies. every time i spar light with them.. i just punch them slowly and less power ...BUT they punch me back with faster speed and power then me. Oh boy.... i got triggered... i try to match their speed and power and then they said to me.... hey you sparr hard pls slow down... and i was like...... what?? you started it first... mehhh..... newbies... hahahaha i know i got ego.. hahahha im just being honest. i dont want to be an asshole. i just want them to know dont punch the seniors hard.. because they will pay the price * evil laugh hahahaha
I can sympathize with that, it’s tough not to teach a lesson. But you are so much better, so be defensive, push them. And they may grow into a great sparring partner. But always protect yourself.
