- This is my two months Muay Thai progress. Judge my form.
A couple of months ago I woke up and randomly decided to take up MUAY THAI, It was always on the bucket list but for some reason or another, I've always found excuses not to do it. I've always wanted to LEARN HOW TO FIGHT, must be a guy thing. I'm pretty old so I suppose I came to the realization that if I don't do it now. I may never do it. So here we are. HOW MUCH MUAY THAI DID I LEARN in two months? Am I A BETTER FIGHTER ? IS MUAY THAI HARD . I suppose it's still too early to know but what I do know is that MUAY THAI IS FUN
I just wanted to say thank you all for the support. Please offer a prayer for me and pray that I don't snap a leg. I'm super old and I don't even know why I'm doing this haha. Love you all.
Good to see you upload again man. Don't worry about the shift in content, the real viewers will follow for you and not necessarily what the videos about. Color grading looks great as always!
Appreciate it man :) I'll still be doing camera stuff here and there. I can't stop it, I love it too much but appreciate your support 🙏
No worries man, have fun with it. That's what YT is about after all
@@leevictor13 Thank you :) You're 100% right. YT can be fun if you allow it to be :)
Good to see you back my man! Hyped to follow along on the Muay Thai journey!
Hahahaha zee Tong stash!
Tong Stach!!!! My goodness, 🤣 Thanks for the warm welcome back.
My girlfriend is Thai, but I don't know much about Muay Thai. It's great to share your passions, whatever they may be. Keep doing what makes you happy and satisfied. I use the ZVe 10, but I haven't tried the S Log3 profile yet because many recommend against it due to the 8-bit colorspace. I love the color grading and quality. I'm considering the FX30 as my next step. Feel free to share more about your color grading, especially from this vlog. I'm sure many people would love to learn from your skills. Did you use Phantom LUTs in this video?
Oh nice! Thai girlfriend :) She must be very kind. Thanks for the kind words. I've thought about doing a color tutorial for a while but I can't seem to get to it because I don't find them fun to do haha, but I can talk about it a bit in an up-and-coming video for sure. A lot of it has to do with exposure to be honest so it all starts there. If the exposure if off then sometimes even color correcting won't work.
I've never used SLOG3 on my ZV-E10 TBH. I'm sure it would work fine you may just get a little banding in the gradients. I usually stick to cine2 for 8bit footage. I can get very close to the SLOG3 look with that. I am using the phantom lut here :)
Very cool. Glad to see you're back. That does look like a nice gym. The color and lights look great, nice work.
Thanks so much :)
Great Stuff! Keep it up. You will have an audience as long as you have fun making these videos.
Thanks for the words of encouragement :)
Wouldn't want any calf kicks from you, looking good man!
It ain't nothing. I just the mic very close to the bag so it sounds like it hits harder than it does. Movie magic
Noi, absolutely love this!!
Thank you Vincent! And thanks for allowing me to film inside the gym.
Glad to see you again 😎✌️
Glad to be back :)
I've got so many comments!
First, welcome back. Although I was hoping to see more tears and less mustache.
Yet, seriously... Are you saying this your first two months kicking or hitting a bag!? Your form looks solid!
I used to box (as a hobby) but it's been years, and I wanted to try Muy Thai, but was scared of looking like a fool trying to use my legs, but you may have inspired me to try it this time!
I also used to spar (mostly going like 40% ish) but it's always the cardio that shocks me. Trying to handle all those adrenaline dumps was the steepest learning curve with it.
Long story short, happy to see you back on here and looking bonafide zaddy (I think the kids are still using that term)...
I'm always nervous when I see your name pop up I don't know what it is haha. Thanks for the warm welcome back. It's nice to post a video. I miss it.
Yeah man I've been going to the gym at least 4-6 times a week. I'm obsessed. I think that's why I've taken to it so quickly. I get angry when my form is wrong. With that said, I'm not really starting from zero. I have a heavy bag at home and I've been wailing on that for the last four years. No proper form or anything but my hands have gotten pretty good. I've always known how to kick as well from watching Bruce Lee movies but my kicks were very straight up and down whereas Muay Thai kicks are more twisty from the sides. Way more crushing and practical IMO. You should totally do it man. It's so fun but you boxed so you know what's up.
TBH I'm super worried about cardio. Mine sucks! Compounded by the fact that these guys are half my age and you have a recipe for disaster but I'm really excited to get in there to test myself because it's not enough to simply look like a zaddy, you have to be able to handle yourself like one.... I don't even know what I just said there but I said it! At any rate, thanks for the warm welcome back. You making any videos lately? Hold on let me go check :P
@@noisackda2564 Regarding your solid form, I considered 2 possible options: 1. You are a natural athlete and/or dancer with good internal rhythm that picks up new sports super easy... OR... 2. You have some obsessive compulsive tendencies which don't allow you to do anything poorly nor post about any hobby you may have until you reached some level of mastery so as not to reveal your fumblings... so you go hard learning a new skill to bridge the divide between fool and master as fast as possible!
If I am right with my observations and not just projecting, you probably have a little of 1 and a lot of 2 and don't know how to do anything casually.
Regardless, its inspiring... I've been wanting a heavy bag for awhile at my place, I just haven't found a good place to hang it as I converted my garage to my lil youtube studio, so I'll have to sell some gear to make room for it. That'll be an intense internal match deciding which to get rid off for it...
Keep the vlogs coming (if you want to keep making them)!
@@BrianCatalano That felt like a therapy session. Where would you like the check sent? I am definitely obsessive-compulsive. I often tell myself that if I can't make a shot or a goal I will die the next day haha. It's sort of problematic. I am also a perfectionist. When I was younger I had to be the best. I've since let that part of me go thank God.
You should 100% get a bag, but even better! Join a class again. It's probably the best decision I've made in a long time. Terrible if you are trying to build a TH-cam business but great for your mental well-being which I feel is way more important.
@@noisackda2564 the observation was simply that I saw my compulsions reflected back at me... And also a running theory I have that a lot of people on TH-cam have similar traits, or I should say those that try to make good looking content consistently, do... And that drive must not just be born from an over-active conscientiousness but from many unfulfilled perfectionistic tendencies. This makes us good at a lot of stuff because we are terrified of being outwardly bad at anything--which we all are because we are normal humans with flaws, in spite of how hard we try to mask them.
Ok, rant is officially done with... As you can tell, I have too much pent up energy that I probably should put the phone done and punch a heavy bag. Thanks again for the inspiration!!
@@BrianCatalano Ah yes. I think you are right. 💛 However, you are next level perfectionist. Whenever I see your posts it's so insanely detailed. There are levels haha. But yeah, go hit something super hard. It's good to let it out some time.
Dude, I would say your title is click bait :D :P
Based on how you move and kick I would say you have trained martial arts before - or you are a natural :D Anyways the progress looks amazing man!
Watching this really makes me miss my Taekwondo training. Trained over 10 years regulary and then my two daughters were born and my priority shifted. But I also have to admit my disciplin was just gone, got lazy regarding working out and gained weight aka dad bod :D
Now I managed to at least sqeeze in a 20min work out into my day and focusing on basics and strength training and correcting my diet again.
But I have to say watching you hitting and kicking the bag - I will try to throw a few kicks after this comment. Let's see how it will go :D
And no worries regarding the shift in content. I like you as a person and the way you put your vlogs together + color grading is just a joy to watch ;)
Take care my friend!
Appreciate it :) I'll still be doing camera stuff because I love tech but it's really not something I want to be tied to since I don't really love it as much as others. Just going back to why I started posting in the first place and freeing myself from this obsession with algorithms.
As far as my fighting skills I've always been good at kicking and punching. I learned it through watching movies TBH. I also bought myself a heavy bag around four years ago and decided to use it a year ago. My hands got pretty good from studying youtube haha. My kicks are new though but I've picked up on it super fast.
Good luck kicking air. Don't blow out your back old man haha! It's different now when we age.
Thanks for stopping by friend :)
Dang.. you're hitting those bags pretty hard man. 💪
Bro, come to class with me! It's so fun!
@@noisackda2564 I'm too out of shape these days for something do intense 😅
@@FrancisManapulArt Haha! I lost two inches of gut fat in two months. You can do eeeeeet!!!!!
Nice hip work my man. Pushing it through the bag👏 that‘s a great vlog episode🍿🍿
Thanks brotha. I'm trying :P If I don't progress anymore, I can at least say I'm losing gut fat.
@@noisackda2564 what gut fat you talking about?😄 bro you making it look easy👍 good to see you having fun.
@@romankuhler I lost two inches of blubber on my gut haha. Thanks man, appreciate you.
@@noisackda2564 ok that’s quite a number👍 good job.
@@romankuhler Lots of number twos to lose that two. What the heck did I just say?
What's up noi? Been a while. I totally get the time away. It takes a lot of time to make a decent video to not get paid for it. This makes me glad my son is in Karate because I literally never learned to kick. Now I struggle with lower body mobility and flexibility even though I look like I'm in decent shape for an almost 50 Y.O.
Hey Tim! It's been a minute! How are you?
You know, I'm the same as you. I still have hip mobility issues, but it's never too late. It just takes more work.
As far as youtube, I agree with you 100% I must have spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours on posting for it with zero return. You would have to be crazy to continue with it if money was all you wanted from it. I understand my content will never be big. I just refuse to play that game but at least I'm getting something from it and that's the ability to document my life. If youtube goes down in the future then I'll be super angry haha.
@@noisackda2564I've been well man. Thanks for asking. Yeah I actually have made almost $300 so far from affiliate links. Still that's so little compared to the amount hours I put in. I still like it as a hobby and I'll still continue to make videos and have affiliate Links for items that I find to be amazing finds but I'm not sweating it too much. I also think the camera channels have slowed down in general because there haven't been very many interesting things here lately coming out. For me for right now if I'm able to upload one video a month I'm fine with that. It's also harder and harder actually because once you step up your game it's hard to just press record, do a super simple edit and be done with it. I feel like I have to polish it so it matches at least the level of my last few videos. I think it's a trap so they can continue to have us "unpaid interns" Keep pushing out content for them to sell advertising on it and not pay us lol.
@@TimBrownTown Unpaid Interns!!!! That's a great way of putting it. TH-cam is a trap. I feel like I'm going through a case of battered woman syndrome. Can I even say that nowadays haha.
@@noisackda2564 😂😂😂😂 true
I see that you've tested a range of wide-angle lenses, including the Sony APS-C 11mm and 15mm, Sigma 17mm, and Viltrox 16mm. Is Viltrox your favorite for vlogs like this? I like your style and how this looks 👍🏻I have the 11mm and 24mm as my widest focal lengths but probably need something between 15 and 20😊
Thanks for the kind words. For the APSC system to get a very similar look to this vlog I think the 15mm f1.4 would be good. The reason why the Viltrox works so well here is because it's the perfect distance away from the face for it to be wide enough to vlog and you still get a nice soft bokeh. If it was wider I wouldn't get the nice separation. Is there a place you can go to try out the Sony 15mm? I really like that lens but to be honest it's a little too close to the 11mm.
@@noisackda2564 For video i mostly use a ZV-E1 so I prefer full frame lenses, the 15mm is way smaller and lighter though. For some reason I like the Viltrox footage I’ve seen better but It is hard to know 🤔
@@stefansundstrom6755 I'm the same way. I prefer to use full frame lenses on my full frame cameras, but when I slap the 11mm and 15mm APSC lens on my ZV-E1 I'm always impressed by the quality so I don't know if it's in my head haha. I think the quality of a video is dependent on the lighting and colors honestly. I've shot some stuff with the Viltrox under bad lighting and it didn't look great.
You'd be glad that just now I’ve liked your TH-cam Channel. Cos, your content was really awesome. But unfortunately, there are not much views and subscribers. I noticed that your video SEO score is too weak according to your needs. Because of that, your video is not reaching your target audience. You will be glad to hear that I can help you increase your SEO score so that it is top on the first page of TH-cam which will increase your subscribers and views organically.
So, if you want to do this, I await your response.
