Hi I'm Andrew Bridden I'm here with the Arizona Center of Mixed Martial Arts. I'm with Freddy Luna and Damon Sanchez . We are just going to run through a couple of drills we do in Muay Thai kick boxing on a regular bases. In this one Freddy is going to throw a Thai kick and Damon is going to catch it. Now for Damon/Freddy is in a bad spot but he got to make the most of it. So what he is going to do is throw punches even though he is off balance. He is going to keep attacking to prevent Damon from attacking him. Take his mind off of hurting while Freddy figures out what he is going to do. So we would sit here for 2-3 minutes at a time with our training partner grabbing our leg and hold the in for us and believe me at the end the leg you are standing on gets very sore but, it is actually conditioning. Another drill we do I going to have one of you guys hold the shield back here. We use a shield bag which is really thick, very well cushion and this allows us to throw kicks full force. So Freddy would do different drills were he just push, kicks, and he could really put his body into it with different push kicks. Damon would turn to the side go through the push kick and follow it up with a Thai kick. We do different drills where our coach would tell Freddy to throw 10 Thai kicks as fast as he can. Freddy would go 1, just as fast as he can rifling them off like that and it builds up the reflexes and the respondent time so in a fight you would become so use to it. You could also do the turning back kick from here. This is a good method of practicing it. When you have a nice padded surface it is hard to hold a small pads with these but, with these guys it becomes more fusible. Side kicks in another thing you could do with these. Basically this bag just helps us out a lot with different push kicks. We practice leg kicks from here. Again Freddy could throw full power leg kicks without his partner having to feel the consequences of that on the next day. So it is a excellent way to build power without hurting our training partners. So those are just a couple of drills that we do to improve our Muay Thai skills.
