The flow of this came out great! Good chat brother 🙏🏼
ALways good to talk Muay Thai with you man
I love the stance lol
I have been doing Muay Thai for 4 years now and I had to take a 1 year break from constant training to focus on my school work. 3 days ago I started heavy training again and I have to tell everyone who is watching this video, it does not matter how experienced you are, reminding yourself the basics and looking at your past mistakes always makes you better. Both as a fighter and as a person. Much love from Turkey Sean, learned a lot from you.
Thanks so much Yakup 👊🙏
Respect from greece brother
I started Muay Thai because I wanted to conquer my shyness, anxiety and fears! Having confidence in myself and shy to show it in public has been a battle I struggled with my entire life and I got tired of it holding me back !
It changed my life, I now face everything head on no matter what it is. I jump in the unknown and I’m now more happy with myself I still got ways to go but I did the first steps and that’s all I needed to now keep going on this life journey I’m now 28 and still working on my dreams ! Hopefully one day I’ll be able to talk about it on TH-cam at the moment I’m still building myself up!
No more bad habits
No more drinking
No more smoking
No more falling into the wrong crowd
No more negativity
We gonna prosper, I speak it to existence!
I wish you all happiness in your life journey That’s the real success !
Good luck on the journey! You got this 😎
Good on you man, best wishes to you.
That’s great! Keep up the training. 😉🙏
Reading this literally just changed. my life bro
@@theyoungfool.1895you can still smoke weed and practice Muay Thai tho 😂
"Go to Thailand immediately"
Coronavirus: I don't think so
Yea... soon enough borders will be open hopefully!
@@seanfagan i truly wish this was available back in my kickboxing days in the late 80s and early 90s i was very lucky to learn Muay Thai from an immigrant straight off the boat back in 1987 in Texas but still since kickboxing here in the states limited certain techniques it was still great to learn as a Martial Artist
Facts... lol. Waiting patiently
Yeah keep believing that this is all about a virus lad 🤤
@@tubbyrainbow111 blow vid is an agenda . Stop
My Muay Thai Journey just started. I went to my first class last night, was nervous as hell, everyone there were beasts, I couldn't breath for the whole 1 1/2 hrs, thought I was gonna die, 37 years old, loved it. Cant to see myself in a year.
you're going to be transformed in a year!
how we doing 2 months later?
Man, exactly same thing, I’m 36, and had first session yesterday and second today, couldn’t breath… sweating as fuck, but happy!
It was my first training session last night too it was so frustrating cause I sucked so bad and everybody else was amazing but that’s why I’m def going back I will get better!
I’I’m 30 and wanted to lose covid weight and been going 3 nights a week for 2.5 months now and feel great about it. I had to take breaks like every 15 mins in the begining super outta breathe but I didn’t get emberassed or stop going. My endurance, strength, skills and speed all improve every class Good Lucc you all
Muay thai changed my life.now i quit smoking i lost 10 kilos and I run like a marathon runner
That’s incredible! Keep that momentum going 👊
aw hell yeah!
thats awesome. i totally understand the connection between quitting smoking and muay thai. a month ago i had my first training session whereafter i needed an inhaler for the next few days (i overdid although intending not to). a couple of other injuries and sickness came in my way aswell but today ill start getting ready for my next training session. i lost a month fck me
Learning Muay Thai and it's absolutely beautiful of a martial art
It’s the best 🥊💪
That’s why I’m learning Muay Thai
It is beautiful until you get beaten by a Muay Thai fighter
@@naveennidhurshan6939 ah so you're a fake fighter, no Muay Thai heart. If a fighter loses he learns. You should change your mindset instead of jumping to getting beaten. If you don't get your ass kicked by let's say the tiger Muay Thai guys you're not learning anything. There's always more to learn. So the guy who gets best will still have more heart and talent than you bud
@@scumbagjay6251 Oh sorry, I just wrote it as a joke.
Been learning Muay Thai from a private coach 3 times a week since the beginning of the year. I started at 39 and have a bunch of old injuries from the army and several surgeries. I've been working on my breathing and MT and cardio so much that I've never felt better. I feel better than I did at 25 in the Army. My coach and I have been talking about me competing which I must say, is beyond my wildest imagination because I never thought this would be possible for me. Your videos have been a big help to me so thank you!
Thanks so much that means a lot! Happy to have played a small role in your journey 👊🙏
Im 20 years old and gonna start my Muay Thai journey next week,this video inspiring me so much. Im so nervous and excited at the same time lol
My Muaythai journey has started at 45 yrs old..
It will be quite the journey!
Keep Going!
33 for me. Like just now lol
1. GO TO THAILAND IMMEDIATELY
Okay, maybe I'll improve next year then. Damn you covid.
Haha yea it's looking like that will have to wait a bit unfortuantely
I’m 37 and have just done my second training session. I absolutely love it.
fuck yeah bro
28 I have my 3rd class in 2 hours lol mentally preparing 😂
Just started my muay thai journey last week at 38yrs of age, done 4 classes so far and loving it. Looking forward to seeing how I go over the next 6 to 12 months.
The dog at 6:00 was impressed. Great advice guys🤙people always show up to learn and they can't wait to start chopping on the bag. I don't let them until they know what they are doing. Muscle memory is easy to develop. Bad muscle memory is much harder to get rid of and change.
So true! Learning the fundamentals before swinging at things 100% is key
Your videos have been a great supplement to my Muay Thai journey. On top of actually going to the gym and working with the coaches, I watch one or two of your videos a day. Thank you for the effort and passion you put into your vids
Your support means a lot! Thanks so much for the love 🙏
6:01 now that is a really good trainer, helping with rithm and making sure you are doing your drills properly
This is great advice. Thanks, Sean.
Like others have said in the comments below I had a personal setback at the beginning of this year and after some self reflecting decided some huge changes were needed.
I guess the universe was listening as I found my way in to a MT club, and have been training for just over 2 months now and am seeing changes in every part of my life
Your videos are some of the best on this platform!
Do I have to be balding and have a beard to learn Muay Thai?
Absolutely 100%
@@seanfagan dammit. I’ve been growing my hair for two years. Oh well guess it’s time to hit up the ole barber💈 😔
Not balding. BALD
It definitely helps
Stfu, have some respect or you are wrong in this sport.
I’ve been doing it for about 6 months now. And I want to say thanks for this vid it really helps out
Restarting my muay thai journey at 29 years old. Glad I came across this channel dude. Motivating stuff! Lets go!
Hell yea! Get after it man 👊
Again, thanks for the tips. 🙏👊🏼This is gold btw.
I just had my first class today it was awesome!! The people in the class were so helpful. Can’t wait to do it again!
It's definitely a fun environment to be in!
Amazing points!! ... You guys are very humble in my opinion.
You guys really come across as a good people. Glad I found your channel :)
I’m 21 and just started. Coming in the sport with only high school wrestling experience and beginner boxing experience. Only been training Muay Thai for a month so far. I’ll be fighting April 17th. I’m gonna come back to this video and say whether I won or not. Wish me luck.
Status update: it got moved to May 8th due to me not meeting weight 🤦🏽♂️
Status update: had fun but I lost 🤷🏽♂️ really enjoyed myself though!
@Boogie Hendrix thanks
Did you win
Good luck.
@@chrisdepaz981 I updated the comment. My fight got moved to may 8th. But I still plan on winning
@@erindort2171 thank you bro 🙏🏽
You guys are the best ! Great tips and very inclusive
the doggo :D
🤣😂🐶
Just checking his form 😂
It was so extied it prolly thought he was a bfg (big friendly giant) lmaoo.
I've been training for 4 years and all of these are great tips! Even for experienced fighters
Glad you like them!
5:57
Look at the cute pupper picking up some moves!
🥰🥰🥰
I'm day 2 of training Muay Thai. I'm so hyped but your tips put me more "down on earth". I was focused more on kicks and power as you said, and not on fundamentals, but I realised how much it means. I'm so so happy and interested and I just can't wait to see myself in 30 days, and how far I came. Subscribed! :)
9 months later, are you better?
2 years later bruh... Still Alive???? How's the progress bro??
@@poluga alive and well my friend, the grind is just getting better and better :)
@@unmarihuano1717 i feel amazing, both physically and mentally, muay thai is such an amazing art for your well being! :)
@@dimez97 fuck yeah bro!!! Glad to hear it!! Keep it up G! 💪🏼💯🤟🏼
This came at the right time for me thank you so much🙏
You’re very welcome 👊🙏
U r the reason why Im starting muay thai again!! keep it up
Happy to hear that!
#3 hit home, have been re-working the fundamentals with my coach ever since the gyms reopened and I've never performed better than the past 8-9 years of my MMA/Muay Thai journey. KAP 🙏🏼
Nicely done man!
Woah thanks for the tips! I couldn't really train alone or do anything like that now am getting alot better :D
Awesome video, gentlemen. I started back training 2 months ago and I'll definitely incorporate these tips as I go along. 👊
Awesome enjoy your training my man!
Appreciate all of this bro 💯
You got it!
Awesome, thoughtful tips. Thank you so much. That bit about 80% of your time is on your own has made me see the importance of my solo training.
It's SO important! You won't always have a trainer, pad holder or training partner so you gotta learn how to train yourself.
Great vid! With a time machine I would use it to properly look after my back in my twenties!!!
You’re telling me!
Thank you for this mate
Wow what timing just joined a muay thai gym 28th sep and was fortunate enough to have gotten my first couple classes in Phuket Thailand earlier this year though covid cut it short. I’ll definitely be going back for the full experience.
Yea the experiences in Thailand are definitely memorable!
that last bit with the shadowboxing looks like a good day! lol with the quick check and teep after the kick, so sick! gonna take that thanks haha
you're welcome bro!
I trained muay thai briefly 6 yrs ago when I was the fittest of my life. It was hard then!!! Now I'm back at 32 and 50lbs over weight and omg it's kicking my butt so good. Can't wait to see my progress and my body transform.
Started muay thai last week, lovin it.
Awesome welcome to the art 🥊🙏
I’ve trained for about 5 years. Had to take some time off because of bone spurs in my hip joints. Returning to training today. Definitely looking forward to it.
Glad to hear you;re getting back at it. Have fun!
As a beginner, this video is very helpful
When i am in the right age i will fight and train in thailand.FROM PHILIPPINES
Magkano kaya budget para dito? Haha seems expensive
badass bro, keep us updated!
Hell yeah man! The goat of all martial arts!
Awesome video guys keep it up! i'm 26 years old and just quit the smokes! I've been training for 2 years now and have set my self a goal to have a fight by the end of 2021 :) also Paul keep it up with the southpaw technique vids i love them and they help a lot
That is awesome!
Thanks guys really appreciate the tips.
Always happy to help!
Thanks for the Tips Sean and Paul:)
You bet!
Thanks for the vid. I made the theory already, after 2 lessons I claim the rule not to hurt yourself which I didn't manage to achieve. :D
I tried Muy Thia for the 1st time. I fell in love with the class... I want to lose 80 pounds. Im now classes 3 times per week.
Great points in this video guys!
Thanks so much!
Thanks guys!
Hi Sean, great advice on taking care of your body and emphasizing about Defense. When you get to my age group, 50+, it's critical not to get Hit. My ribs don't recover quickly as they used to.
I feel you! As I'm getting older I'm realizing the importance of those types of things. Glad it resonated 👊
With nearly 2 years of training I am not really a beginner anymore, but sometimes I still feel like it :D So I always enjoy beginner videos
There’s always more to learn! 👊🙏
I got distracted by the little fur ball of cuteness at 5:56 lol but other than that thank you this video was helpful! I just started Muay Thai a week ago. Although I am overwhelmed with combos and information, I am looking forward to learning the fundamentals and possibly one day competing!
A very good video. Thanks Sean.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the inspiration! I’ve recently gotten into mauy Thai in Arizona ! I’m 6’7 185 pounds and I’m going to take this as far as my body and mind will let me 😊
daaamn you're even bigger than Paul!
@@seanfagan lol Paul looks huge too, how tall is he ?
Now Now finally I understand....No wonder so many combat sports champions are bold....I guess I am not training hard enough. Thank you for another amazing video!
You can do it!
Excellent video, great break down. 👍
That puppy @5:50 tho...
I started last week at 5'8" and 200lbs. I hope this journey is a blast as it was the first night.
how is it going
5:50 my heart melted when I saw the puppy
🥰🥰🥰
I started training again I'm setting a goal I will be fighting in muay thai in 5 years or less once this pandemic is over I'm gone it's a journey guys not a race take your time to train and build mental strength I'll be going to Thailand eventually but it's not a priority training at the local gym is find a gym and keep going!
yeah it's not a sprint! key is to enjoy it and be whatever the best you can be!
U guys are awesome.
Learning about Muay Thai It's like a warrior's fight that can actually be used for self-defense. Muay Thai teaches discipline. Have good sportsmanship and respect for your opponent. On the field is competition, but off the field we are friends. Muay Thai is a beautiful thing in the way of men 👍❤
Great Stuff!
Thanks so much 🙏
Nice vid guys! 🙏
Thank you 🙌
Beautiful greetings from Mexico. Fighting Fighting 🙏
Thanks for the love 🙏
Im from México too! So, whats up!
Oh my goodness, that dog is so damn cute. I love it. What a great trainer he must be.
Haha it's the cutest dog ever
0:10 "sir...ma'am...or nonbinary being" subbed
🥰🥰🥰
I am new and struggling in everything but I only know one thing, I should never stop
that's the right mindset!
You had me at nonbinary being 🙌🏾
#martianlivesmatter
Great advice! I'm cracking up at the dog that keeps running under your feet lol
Haha it's such a cutie
love the inclusive language
Thanks a lot!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
You got it 👊
What a great little dog!
yessss 🥰🥰🥰
I’m 67 years old, but have worked out all my life. I love Muay Thai, but I concentrate on technique, always learning and improving, always difficult in every way, of course I’ll never fight , but I enjoy the challenge.
The cameo from the puppy was so cute haha
😂😂
Hello, I'm from Chile, your routines are very good
Awesome! Thank you!
Yes im coming out off 8 weeks of solarplex pain from air bag.FXXKED ME UP!THANKS
6:06 wtf thats literally the cutest dog ive ever seen in my entire life
Great / hard earned insights, guys. Khob khun kab!
Happy to help 👊🙏
Osu great content. Your concepts can be apply to other combatsports and martial arts.
Very true 💪
I would love to implement a morning / afternoon stretching routine but I have no idea where to start or how to perform each excercise. Might be an idea to create a video about stretching and getting more flexible overtime?
There is one yoga video my wife did on this channel. You can also visit www.nakmuaynation.com/highkicks for a short post workout stretching routine too
I'm 31, and just started I hope it's not to late for me 🙏 not in terms of competing but In terms of bring able to change to a healthy life style after years of wouldn't say the worst abuse of my body but still I haven't looked after myself
(smoking for 15 years eating bad)
I've been starting to notice a lot of tough fighters have beards are they like a shock absorber for strikes LOL seriously great video thanks for sharing your knowledge
beards unite!
5:52 that small puppy running around ♥️♥️♥️
6:02 there's another I'm dying 😭😭😭
It's the cutest little doggo
I just started Muay Thai and I love it. The idea of moving to Thailand and learning everyday for hours on end sounds amazing. But if I were to do that, would I need much more experience before I do? What are the prerequisites of moving there to fully immerse ?
cool video !
Thanks for the visit
THE PUPPY 🥺♥️✨
I’m learning the basics again
Can't go wrong with learning the basics!
Hola, buen contenido, soy de Chile, saludos 🇨🇱
gracias!
Bruhhhh so I gotta train in the states for pretty much this whole year.....
I can't wait to learn in Thailand!! Also I get to learn another language and Improve what I know right now
yeaaa that's the right mindset, thai's a tough language though but you'll get so much out of it.
Cool video
you're cool
The dog omg So cute
I'm 34 and have mostly played football, although I just love training overall so I am considering moving to an individual sport to see how far I can make it in terms of self-development. Muay Thai seems to be extremely fun and challenging but I know almost nothing about it. Should I start from watching as many fights as possible and getting familiar with it before even considering training?
Love the cute doggo
🥰🥰🥰
Just started my journey boys
Be back in 2 years to update y’all
Im 29 without any combat sports experience… I wanted to start with boxing because I dont want to take kicks, elbows etc… But I found a Muay Thai gym about 5 minutes from work with good training schedule… so Muay Thai it is.
