Buakaw: Clinch Entry, Exit & Knee Against Puncher
Respectfully,
9mm
Eventually, if there isn't deep integrity and fundamental character strength, the challenges of life will cause true motives to surface and human relationship failure will replace short-term success.
There is an idea of who I am: some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me; only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel my flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable, I simply am not there.Tags: None

Re: Buakaw: Clinch Entry, Exit & Knee Against Puncher
just a beautiful Muay Thai fighter. he is one of the old school style fighters still doing well. the new breed is learning to box better. better hands mean more kicks and knees land. remember the old fights the guys would stand infront of one another and trade kicks, knees, elbows and occasionally a haymaker punch.
he is fighting in K-1 next. not sure when.

Re: Buakaw: Clinch Entry, Exit & Knee Against Puncher
I loved those exchanges where they'd just stand in front of each other and throw everything they had lol. it's a shame K1 changed their rules in an effort to thwart Buakaw's dominance. Bull shit politics since Buakaw would wreck K1's golden boy Masato. Only allowing knees in the clinch is complete bull but they knew if Buakaw was able to work traditional thai and throw dem bows Masato wouldn't have been able to attain the level of success they needed out of him to make money. nobody used the clinch offensively better than Buakaw and they basically took that option away from him. but i digress, i'll have to keep my eyes out for his next fight!Respectfully,

Re: Buakaw: Clinch Entry, Exit & Knee Against Puncher
yeah they changed the knee rule so much. you cannot clench and throw anymore. and you may not use 2 hands and hold and clench. you can clench throw one knee and let go.Originally posted by NineDoubleM View PostI loved those exchanges where they'd just stand in front of each other and throw everything they had lol. it's a shame K1 changed their rules in an effort to thwart Buakaw's dominance.

watch lion fights. legit Muay Thai. although they break the clench quickly unless there is something really happening but in a clench it is like BJJ it takes time to set stuff up.
I have been training Thai Boxing for almost 5 years. gave up Jiu Jitsu to train it. not good at either really but i do love it so much

Re: Buakaw: Clinch Entry, Exit & Knee Against Puncher
yeah man i do enjoy Lion Fights, the dude the runs the org seems pretty cool. i like Glory too and can't wait for them to start putting on shows again. that's pretty awesome you're putting in so much time with muay thai training, that shit is hardcore. i've never been particularly good at boxing, muay thai, wrestling, or jiu jitsu but i love it all too lol. the physicality of it all i think it was attracts me to it. i'd mess somebody up who never had any training but if you're half way decent at any of the combat sports i'm probably gonna catch a whoopin lol. cardio has always been my biggest issue, i just gas out too fast and them i'm worthless.Respectfully,

Re: Buakaw: Clinch Entry, Exit & Knee Against Puncher
well i do put time in but even with all the years of training as an older guy i am not very good. like you cardio hurts me. I kept dropping weight when i started from a muscled up 200+ now at 170 ish and lean. but still age is a *****.
it is my hobby and my workout so i love it and it keeps me in shape. win/win.
all but the bruises, broken noses (about 1 a year, told you i was slow) limping after leg kicks, clicking jaw, ugly scuffed up shins ect. but i love it
i like BJJ too but I love Muay Thai and boxing

Re: Buakaw: Clinch Entry, Exit & Knee Against Puncher
much respect to you bro for earning your stripes in the combat sports world. that stuff is definitely not for everyone but it seems like you're a real student of the game, a real nak muay. i was talking to a guy today looking to get into mma, he's eying the same gym i am and i think it'd be cool if he and i end up training there. by the same token, i feel like I've identified competition and now i know who i have to be better than lol. great training motivator!Respectfully,

Re: Buakaw: Clinch Entry, Exit & Knee Against Puncher
i have never been called a Nak Muay, and will never be mistaken for a warrior but I will fight to the end of the round and the end of the fight. last august when i fought i had a broken nose from sparring. in the first 30 seconds of the first round it got smashed again. I kept going. and finished in a technical draw (still do not understand the rules on that) dude missed weight by over 15# i was 3 under.Originally posted by NineDoubleM View Postmuch respect to you bro for earning your stripes in the combat sports world. that stuff is definitely not for everyone but it seems like you're a real student of the game, a real nak muay. i was talking to a guy today looking to get into mma, he's eying the same gym i am and i think it'd be cool if he and i end up training there. by the same token, i feel like I've identified competition and now i know who i have to be better than lol. great training motivator!
happens a lot in ammy fights. wish i started when i was a kid. at 45 it is hard to train hard and recover. still want an MMA fight but i would get killed

Here is a pic of me at the "Fight for a cure" it was one of those susan g koman breast cancer things. first time i ever fought in front of a paying crowd.

Re: Buakaw: Clinch Entry, Exit & Knee Against Puncher

Re: Buakaw: Clinch Entry, Exit & Knee Against Puncher
you only feel it the first time LOL. I weighed in (ammy fights you weigh in the same day of the fight) I had not eaten or drank anything. I weighed in at 162.5. the promoter came up to us and said hey your guy will not make weight. We asked by how much. He never weighed in.............Originally posted by NineDoubleM View Postthat's awesome man! 15lbs is pretty nuts, and pretty disrespectful. if you get an mma fight just sprawl and brawl lol. that's pretty crazy fighting thru a broken nose, i hate getting hit in the nose.
i said i would fight anyway. i trained too hard and the fight i was supposed to have a few months earlier the dude no showed which also happens in ammy fights.
so i did. i threw more punches but he definitely had power on me. i would rather fight a guy who hits me more but less pop. we estimated 15# could have been 20#. dudes arm was as big as my leg. he was a couple inches shorter too so he was a stocky fellow.

Re: Buakaw: Clinch Entry, Exit & Knee Against Puncher
promoters can be fucked up man. i wasn't even two months into mma training and the gym owner/head coach/promoter was hitting me up to fight. i couldn't believe it, i was still so raw in my skills and he's like hey man i've got a guy who is 1-0 i think you'd win against, the fight is in 3 weeks you in? i was like dude have you seen me in here? lol. promoters just wanna fill the card and get paid, some shady cats out there.
to me, you stepping in the ring and giving up 20lbs earns you the nak muay title. you've actually fought, that's more than i've done, and you did despite shitty conditions so you're the man in my book, you're a real fighter. i've never competed, only trained, so you're a better man than i.
those short stocky dudes are hard to deal with, especially in jiu jitsu. short limbs are harder to crank and manipulate, they generate more power in limited space like the clinch (which i'm sure you know lol) it's just a tough body type.
all this fight talk has me fiending to get back in the gym lol. for the longest time i've worked nights and weekends and in effect i haven't been able to train for a while. i'm on days now and feeling motivated to get back to training. if i can my bike paid off it's on. can't wait to punch somebody in the face.
