3:40 As middle age Thai man, I'm glad young teacher still preseve our traditions. People must give respect to others and things surround us. Throw gloves like that is sign for loving to cut corners. Disrespect yourself. Once facing hash situation in the ring, this easy way out (bad habbits by throwing things) will make you give up easily. I love that you put this part in the video. Good job young man.

It's first time I've seen any of your videos, you smashed the Muay Thai for your first day training. The training fitness looked pretty brutal. I hate skipping too. I'd of died doing that, and in the Thai heat would be even worse. Lol. I do Muay Thai in UK but I did visit Thailand did training during heatwave in Udon Thani and it was brutal, so feel your pain there. Keep it up, hope you stick at it. 🙏

[@BenBassham]

Thanks! It was pretty brutal, but I can’t imagine what it would’ve been like during a heatwave… & I’d love to do it again 100% 🙏

[@ClarenceDass]

Great video. Enjoyed seeing your learning experience. My wife and I started doing Muay Thai training 6 weeks ago (3 sessions a week) and it has been amazing. You really get to know your body and feel every inch of it developing. My thighs were burning for the first few session too.

[@skeek1824]

mate I did boxing in the UK for about 6 months and got pretty handy on the pads, I went over there for a session got put on my arse for being in a boxing stance for about 90% of the session, They started throwing knee's and trips and I felt so out of my comfort zone, didn't help being gasssed they work you like a slave over there lol.

Hi Ben, Just wanted to compliment you on three things that truly stood out about you in this video. 1. You were honest. 2. You were humble. 3. You had heart. Never lose those qualities, ever. Former junior instructor in TKD/MT fusion back in the UK. Now a pastor serving the Lord. God bless mate 😊

Hope you keep at it, or at least come back to it in some points of your life. P.S. I'll recommend almost ANY Thai brand to you (Yokkao, Fairtex and so on), try to stay away from European or US brands (adidas, venum, lonsdale and so on). :)

[@FreedomDefender07]

Regarding the rule to not treat the equipment roughly, I think that Japan may have something similar to this. I found that it even applies to grocery items at the supermarket. It is frowned upon if you roughly throw items into your basket. Maybe similar in the fact that you show appreciation for what you have and what you are given. I think it is a good value to learn from for people from Western countries and it is interesting to see that Japan and Thailand may share this good value in common.

[@axelstone3131]

Bruce Lee’s personal notes of Muay Thai: "PRO 1. Elbows 2. Knees 3. Actual combat CON 1. The punching is not of high caliber: the “left jab” is poor, the “uppercut” almost nonexistent, the “hook” is inadequate. 2. Gloves prevent the use of the finger jab and the palm smash 3. Lead foot attacks lacking: no shin/knee lead attack and groin attack 4. No grappling tactics 5. No “under the belt” tactics 6. Scientific economical structure is lacking. Plus lack of sophistication in cadence, timing, broken rhythm 7. No hair pulling or scratching"

[@axelstone3131]

@@dylan.-6527unsure what Bruce saw when he went to Thailand, but it is known he saw a good amount of Muay Thai and wasn’t impressed with it. Because of Muay Thai structure and footwork, they telegraph everything they do.

I trained a microscopic amount of boxing when I was a teenager and never trained any martial arts throughout college. After I graduated I started training Muay Thai and even though I didn’t box much, I could not correct my stance to a Muay Thai stance until one of my coaches made it a point to work tf out of my lead leg as much as he could until I stopped blading my stance.
