Greetings Martial Artists,
Hope everyone is having a good year so far! Among other things I had a chance to check out some Muay Thai action in Vegas for Battle in the Desert 5. The main event here was a winner take all match between Joe Schilling and Simon Marcus. Maybe not the most respectful situation to get into but I do admire these men for raising the stakes as best they could. Ive been to a number of muay thai fights and anyone live at the event would have to admit that the atmosphere was great.
How'd it go? The ending came with a great deal of controversy..Schilling being KOed Marcus but after a previous toss perhaps trip that dazed Schilling, the fight was over before it really got going. I really wanted to see these two really spend some time getting after it in the ring. Finishes are always better than decisions but as a practitioner of the art it is always such a learning experience to observe pro fighters. Anyhow, when the take down happened a few groups of people believed it to be an illegal trip where Marcus hooks his foot. In the moment it did not seem like a trip nor did it seem intentional whatever you may think it to be. Schilling hit the canvas really hard and it was effectively done. Word is that Simon Marcus is up for a rematch. I will definitely be there to check it out and hope they put some rounds in.
"American Muay Thai" on the whole cannot be judged solely by this one event. I believe that the future is very bright. More and more people are training and solid events are happening out here in California more and more. The greatest reason I believe in the future of Muay Thai in the US is that we have good training. As long as quality teachers are here, there will be students who will pursue the art to as high a level as they can. I dont know that I can "Martial Arts is Back" here but as long as more and more people visit Muay Thai gyms, everything about Muay Thai will level up. Dont be so Myopic
ETC..bits and pieces...tidbits...
Congrats to Ben Henderson..the NEW UFC LW Champ.....The Hard Rock is a MUCH better venue for these events than Buffalo Bills. Big Props to the promoters. I went there to support "Sugarcane" Coke in his fight vs Matt Embree. He lost fair and square but big up! Also supporting Jose Palacios. Full disclosure and all.

Exercise programs have a couple of fundamental components, warm up, stretching, muscular training, cool off, as well as extending. Additionally, exercises are encouraged that each element of the program is finished. Instructors usually set a rigid schedule threatening threat of muscle injury if most of these jobs aren’t included somehow.
