muay thai frame defense
i think this type of long guard makes more sense to me and what i'll rely on most.
of course, like mmmatt says, i think i'll mix up my defense styles though so the opponent doesn't figure out my defense.
this guard is good for hooks, overhands, uppercuts, elbows, and knees
he says the tight boxing guard defense (what i use the most) is ok but doesn't protect you from elbows and knees. the frame defense allows you to block them at a distance.
the way he does it is the lead hand (left hand) always extends straight
-shoves his punching shoulder
-point your elbow up (protects punches higher than chin)
what changes is what your right hand/arm does
-a punch to my left side: right hand goes over my left eyebrow
-a punch to my right side: basic comb your hair catch on the right temple/ear
-an uppercut: bring arm in close to body and let him uppercut your elbow

using the head
head is the 9th weapon (in addition to the 8 limbs). more muay boran / self defense.
to headbutt
-lower your head and ram your forehead into their nose
-you don't cock your head back like a pro wrestler
to block straight punches
-lower your head and let them hit the top of the forehead
-it was hurting my hands jabbing spiderman boxer's head. in a streetfight, i think this is a destruction defense because they would probably hurt their hands if they tried to hit your head hard

teep, knees, and combos he wants me to work tonight
teep
-hitting with whole foot or ball of foot is ok
-he likes to hit with ball but then push away like stepping on gas pedal
-drill on the heavy bag is one explosive kick with pauses between reps. i think he said quick like a jab or maybe he said quickly like they're about to jab you then you kick
knees
-thrust hips forward like so that you thrust hips then the knee follows a little but then you'd have to raise the knee a little more for it to be a knee
-point your toes
-steering wheel toward the knee
-keep your chin down
combos for tonight
these combos are to mix up the game
ie, you do the 1,2 then he starts to think 12 so then you do 1,kick cuz he expected punches to head, then when he thinks you might kick he blocks so you add the 2 to the head cuz he's focused on leg kick
1. 1, 2
2. 1, right kick
3. 1, right kick but he blocks, 2 (as your leg comes down)

a lot of cool stuff from julian (bob marley) yesterday
# 1 - 6
1. they jab, right hook. >> you straight elbow, then use the same elbow hand to downward scoop, step in and grab the neck (at the same time), pull the neck like a steering wheel, knee them in the gut
-#6 is based off number 1
2. they jab, right hook >> you straight elbow, then
DEALING WITH GETTING CLINCHED
-there are 3 phases:
1. preventing before they can tie up
2. dealing when tied up and pummeling but not full on clinch
3. they have secured the clinch
1. preventing clinch
-when he's reaching you guide arm out of the way
-if he's taller than you push up first and then guide arms out of the way
-it's like a 45 degree pivot
-you don't overextend your arms but you don't keep them super tight to your body either
-your pivot (in place) foot is the one on the side you'll step to, your step out foot rotates to the side you'll end up on
-your loaded for a knee or kick after pivoting out
2. pummelling
-turn like a steering wheel
3. secured clinch
-drop your center of gravity, get your hips close together, put your knee behind one of his, and twist him to trip over it
-epiphany about getting the hips close together, it's not about squeezing his back into you but more about moving your hips close to his
-just right now i'm thinking, if you drop your hips low, then your body can get under his and you can use that to kind of drive him up and unbalanced backward which would also make the bear hug squeezing him into you a lot easier as well as getting your hips closer to him
-don't back up because that make you vulnerable to knees. if you can see your feet, you can get kneed.
THE END GAME
is not to slug it out. it is to unbalance (and sweep?) your opponent.
in battlefield times, it was not about slugging it out, it was getting the guy on the ground, being able to stay aware of surroundings, and move on.

holding thai pads and lead kick and knee
kru mark
holding thai pads
-don't hold it down so low like i'm bending over. just keep it close to my body.
-turn a little to the side you want them to kick
-maybe throw a few punches before the desired combo for them to block
-the combo we did was 2 left body kicks. every once in a while add a right body kick to the front
kicks
-he said just kick from your stance, don't step fwd/out/whatever or you will telegraph. if you need to close the distance first, then step in with your stance to close the distance then throw from there
lead kicks
-he said it's important to get good and lead kick
knee
-i don't get it but youre supposed to drive your hip fwd so your knee is like a spear
-on the heavy bag, he just had me knee to the diagnoal side and step through / penetrate without hitting the bag
my kicks i see on video
-i need to work more on turning my hips over. most of my kicks looked like the kick equivalent of an "arm" punch

some good stuff from kru mark and others
kru mark
guard when tired or hands tired
-keep the elbows and upper arms resting on the front of my body with my guard up
-shrug shoulders
-i think its good and no one would suspect im too tired to keep my hands up
evading a knee to belly
-you twist your torso, maybe pivot too but not sure
-the outside hand reaches down only a little bit to parry it to the side. a cup motion. hand only about to solar plexus high
his long guard
-keeps you safe from all head punches
-he said it's a muay thai thing
-one hand combs the hair, the other kind of extends forward, elbows touch
-he said don't extend it all the way out. just kind of bent and palms forward. alternate sides since it doesn't matter which side they are punching from because it blocks all strikes. and keep coming forward a little bit each time and eventually you can clinch.
some video on you tube about sparring tips
a square muay thai stance
-is easier to kick both sides and block kick from both sides
-basically you keep your legs lined up with his
-to create an angle to kick, you just step laterally in either direction
-this is opposed to a boxing stance which is more "squeezed" together.
another vid about sparring tips. diff from above but make by same guy
-don't back up to avoid attacks. learn to block and immediately counterattack.
-if you move back it will take longer to attack because you have to come back in. also it will be easier for them to see it coming.
bald buff wing chun guy
elbows to block punches
-don't try to elbow his hands
-do put your elbow in front of your face
-the idea is he's aiming for your face, so that's where you put your elbow for protection
checking leg kicks
-toes point up
-keep your guard up because it is common for them to throw a punch at the same time or follow up with one
red shaggy guy
-if someone plums me, get my hands back in and plum them back. once you get control, start throwing a lot of knees
bob marley
some good warm up ideas
-alternating axe elbows
-knee up and out (like checking kick)
-kick in then knee up and out (hip motion for kick and check)
sparring
-been pivoting after throwing punches like duke from boxing works taught me and it's working good
-as far as remembering to keep hands up, just make sure they're in my periphery
-gotta remember to turn side to side with punches and kicks

some things from Kru Mark's classes
The 4 Ss (i don't know if there's an order)
1. Speed
2. Strength
3.Stamina
4. Skill
then there's some funny thing i don't remember about making a fist and Smile
Defending the teep
-He said we learn techniques using the hands to catch and toss the teep but in actual fighting you just rotate your torso
-Don't put both hands down to block the teep! When I watch myself on video, man, I leave my head open when I do that
Angle elbow to axe elbow
-parry jab, step in with angle elbow, follow up with axe
-the rear hand comes up to guard your forehead so the rear arm is in position to axe elbow
From sparring, dealing with straight punches
-against jab, i've been slipping and throwing overhand rights alot and its good
-against jab, i've also been swatting it down with right and continuing with a right and its good
-but today i swatted down a right cross with my right and threw a jab and it was good
