[@salimufari]

Great video fellas. Thanks for doin' what you do.

[@Tlyon16_boi]

You have to do a video on learning how to lasso

[@kenaultman7499]

Sagat was a real person. Just in case you were wondering. At least, the character is based on a real person.

[@chubby_deity3143]

"The more experienced you are, the more rules you can break" should be in EVERY type of learning class

[@crustybomb115]

its fairly common among all schools worth their salt in martial arts...

[@sylaconnocalys8443]

Learn the rules, break the rules, make the rules

[@brycehowell2560]

The same principle is in chess; some moves the masters make look like goofy beginner blunders but have lots of high level strategies to back them up

[@CH-ii5ih]

Not gonna lie, saw the notification and said out loud "Oh God they're gonna get messed up."

[@jproper]

This aligns with the "modern rogue" theme. More of this, whiskey, cigars, building things, destroying things.

[@joshcrawley1937]

agreed I've fallen off a bit but more of this please

[@iscuxcar]

agreed. you guys should do more of this. not just one episode of muay thai. do MMA, BJJ and circle back into muay thai. see how you improve through a year.

[@jproper]

I agree but lets keep in mind to limit it to what our good friends bodies can handle. Father time is an asshole and he takes no prisoners haha

[@benjaminriley9517]

I have trained at this gym for 4.5 years. In the beginning, I struggled with doing simple jump rope, much like...Jason and Brian. Now I spar with coach Randy and can say that Muay Thai has changed my life, it's as much about the mental aspect of the martial art as the physical. If you live in the area, come give Austin Kickboxing Academy a try!

[@darklard]

Jason's roundhouse: You need to turn your hips over so that your leg turns 90 degrees. You're doing more of a crescent kick with your toes still pointed up to the air. Your knee and shin should be pointed in the direction you're kicking. You started getting a little better on turning over once you were on the bag but it still needed even more. 28:57 You guys should actually pick one of these and keep up with it for a year and do a video every 3 months to show improvements, that would be awesome!

[@Ventus_the_Heathen]

As a life long martial artist and career instructor it's always so much fun to watch you guys learn. Never coming in with any ego or preconceived notions, just genuinely eager to learn. I'd love to have a gym full of students like y'all

[@mattwatson7510]

BRIAN BRUSHWOOD! HOLY CRAP! I remember first time seeing him teaching me magic tricks in "Scam School"! Here I am, a grown up man (almost 30), after watching loads of "Martial Arts" type videos wanting to learn more about "Muay Thai" There he is again!! LOVE to see him again! Big fan! LOVE from Norway! PS: Miss the Guile hair.

[@Texicus_Reddicus]

I thought guile had a flat top

[@mattwatson7510]

Yeah. But he said in a video the reason why he had that hairstyle is because he wanted to look like Guile. That's why I called it "Guile hair".

[@SuperBeardWill]

Prior to disability, I trained in muay Thai for years. It teaches you discipline in so many ways. Anyone thinking should you try it? Go for it!

[@miserywas8285]

Are "group" classes worth it? I cannot afford private ones.

[@vicarious7858]

@@miserywas8285 They are indeed. Over time you will get to know everyone and spar various people with different ability levels. Just remember the golden rule; Only hit as hard as you are willing to get hit while sparring! Go absolutely mad on the pads tho 😉

[@geoffgreen2105]

Randy and Erik are such great teachers! All technique, no ego.

[@rintheotaku1261]

I'm so glad you guys do this because I'm Thai and I do practice Muay Thai

[@giladmt2011]

I’ve been training Muay Thai for two decades and trained at this gym for two years when I lived in austin. Awesome facility, high skilled guys and Randy and Eric are really good teachers. One of the best gyms I trained at. I miss it!

[@KiraDidNothingWrong]

It is always beautiful to see these guys never being afraid of learning new things, being humble and trying to learn for real, not just for yt

[@Qub3rs]

The Modern Rogue... Gentleman, Warrior and Scoundrel... Warrior training at its finest...

[@Wardus]

Honestly feel like these guys are awesome teachers. Never done anything martial arts related in my life and I want to find a gym near me now!

[@myname-mz3lo]

"the more you understand the technique the more tired you are " thats how i felt at my first lesson too . made me come back

[@Magnum_Dong]

They gotta do a pro wrestling episode. Looking it up, Dustin Rhodes' school is really close to Austin. Dustin's goofiness mixed with Brain and Jason's would make for one hell of an episode.

[@woodsman105]

Now, I want to see Jason in the Golddust wig.

[@emissary_kyle]

I won't mind seeing this become a series. That's a sick gym they have there in Austin TX.

[@TheRealAlpha2]

You know it's a good teacher when even while watching you can understand when one of the guys makes a mistake or corrects it without being told. Jason, as usual, seems more energetic when watching the jump rope part, if he paced himself more he'd probably last longer. Even though Street Fighter is a game, this does make Sagat and Adon's animations make a lot more sense. Okay, now that you got Street Fighter, lets get some Metal Gear tactical action.

[@pcport2698]

I gotta love that the Muay Thai video is more than twice as long as the longer of their Krav videos. Really makes you think!

[@ZooOfHumans]

What a great video! I love Muay Thai and have been practicing for a few years now. Randy and Erik seem like such genuine dudes and what a great into the amazing sport. I wish I got this kind of into when I started!

[@edburdo]

I must say... this was one of my favorite "martial arts" videos that you've ever done.

[@dvldgz6306]

I've been doing martial arts for about 8 years now. For striking I focus mostly on k1 and Dutch style kickboxing but naturally with how popular Muay Thai is I've learned so much of it through seminars visiting gyms while traveling and meeting other kickboxers. He seems to be a very good coach. I think he was moving kind of fast though but I'm sure it was time constraints because of the video. I really hope you guys go often to train in martial arts.

[@obi501]

I'd recommend doing muay thai purely for the clinch, SO fun

[@overheardatthepub1238]

Probably one of the best videos you guys have put out. I'm deadass interested in Muay Thai rn. No, wait, I mean Pad Thai. But Muay is pretty damn cool as well. Five star. Heat.

[@donesio931]

Can confirm, you’d be hard pressed to find better coaches than Randy and Erik. If you’re in Austin or surrounding areas, and have an interest, definitely check out Austin Kickboxing Academy!

[@markj8427]

Randy is a great trainer -- highly recommend Austin Kickboxing Academy!

[@NomdePlume337]

This is awesome, I'd love to see you guys keep up with it. And learn the basics of some other martial arts like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or Jeet Kune Do(Bruce Lee's martial art)

[@fungusfood8097]

I think they have done a bit of bjj! It was a while ago tho

[@Etronax]

Muay Thai is so much fun and gets you in great shape! The only reason I eventually stopped training was due to an injury

[@geoffgreen2105]

Yeah, there's a reason they start kids in Muay Thai when they're like, 6 years old in Thailand.

[@marksteiny2j]

Will you ever do an episode like this about freestyle and greco roman wrestling? I would love to see that. Keep up the good work :)

[@endlessoul]

I have to admit, the title made me think of TANAKA, THAI KICK! Fans of Downtown Gaki no Tsukai know what's up

[@elliebeeb]

TANAKA...THAI KICKU!

[@myname-mz3lo]

yes these are great episoides . the sword fighting and martial arts videos are so good it fits your channel and audience verry well

[@grdovwd1589]

Good teaching!! Andy and Erik are very good!!

[@ingolf82]

23:00 Chuck Norris Roundhouse kick, level 1 version :) on level 10 you can roundhouse kick 10 targets at the time just like he does.

[@CyarSkirata]

I last used a jump rope in school, when I was just under 10 years old, while we were doing a sort of fitness event thing. I have weak joints; my right leg overextended, slammed my kneecap against the bones above and below it, I couldn't walk without pain and a support bandage for a week and wasn't allowed to run or stop using the bandage for three weeks.

[@Gamefreak8112]

I might M.A. classes. Took a few years of Tae Kwan Do. Fun and useful is a tough combo to beat.

[@teamgt7690]

Of all the things you have done, it looked like you learnt the most in this one. I think because the instruction was so good? Jason looked like a real natural picking it up! But you are all nuts doing this in that heat 😂

[@am5812]

Those guys are professionals man. I would have died laughing after watching Jason at 24:47

[@MarvinCZ]

They realize that everyone has to start somewhere and the important thing is to keep improving.

[@_TheDudeAbides_]

They have a teacher's mindset. It is as simple as that.

[@willthewise420]

Thanks for the content MR crew always a pleasure

[@sotirisgeorgakopoulos6317]

Very happy to see the guys try out my favorite martial art, it's a great time!

[@TristanJCumpole]

Man, I used to use cheap hollow wooden handles with water hose and a bolt/washer screwed into the bore at either end as a rope. Also, no shoes. You soon learn not to hit your toes. Cadence, relaxing and breathing. I miss it.

[@noahmontgomery9902]

Now this, this is peak modern rogue

[@Brownyloll]

NEW ROGUE VID!!!!

[@kanmeridoc1784]

Wait, you guys didn't actually spar against each other? The application of what you've learned at the end in real sparring against each other was always my favorite part. Concern for getting injured or just totally wiped out from the workout?

[@thedebatehitman]

Muay Thai is the art of eight limbs. It’s a brutal sport.

[@KazuTree]

Jason, you have such immaculate vibes in this thumbnail. Lookin' rad!

[@jarodlojeck5150]

"I'm Muay Tired." I lost it.

[@joe_krogan]

I do muay thai for mma. It's honestly my favorite thing to train. Very fun sport.

love watching Brian bouncing away with over exaggerated movements.

[@AriaOnEdge]

[@mrboberson7424]

The best part about combat sports is that the worst part of combat sports isn't being hit, its warming up.

[@obi501]

Everyone at my gym agrees. Duck walks are evil.

[@TheQue5tion]

Surprised that the injury counter was not reset. They should try Lethwei next. Be interesting to see how that can be taught without the injury counter getting reset.

[@soasacho]

Fun fact: here in Brazil, most muay thai schols refer to the sport as the art of eight weapons instead of the art of eight limbs

[@solidacid1337]

WHOO! new video!

[@SporkyBorky]

The aeroplane flies high turns left looks right

[@jessegreci5834]

I thought this was going to be the video where Brian and Jason duke it out for the modern rogue championship😂

[@EvoWatches]

Us Taekwon-bros be like: ONE MINUTE IN, AND THEY ARE FULL OF LIES!!!

[@thebillyd00]

Muay Thai seems great for toe walkers. I already do most of my movements off my heels

[@enbo98]

Anyone who does anything athletic knows that all of your balance resides through the balls of your feet. I cant imagine trying to do anything (running, jumping, kicks, footwork, etc) off of my heels?

[@woodsman105]

Brian has a bit of "chicken butt" going on, as my sifu's wife would call it. Having a little structural tension in your lower abs, just below the belly button (as mentioned in the video) allows you to relax your lower back. This aligns the spine more naturally and "engages" your core. You can see the way the instructor stands, his hips are settled into a very stable position. Even though he's not going to drop as low as a Shotokan or Choi Lay Fut practitioner, still going to be hard to get him off his feet.

[@Shards-of-Narsil]

Muay Thai is totally legit as a fighting style.

[@malcolmgruber8165]

Brian has the energy, Jason has the concentration to build proper technique sooner.

[@Argomundo]

I did Muay Thai for 10 years so this is especially funny to see

I’d like to what Jason and Brian’s characters would’ve looked like in street fighter with their “idle animation”

[@jaybofa617]

How do they prevent their shin bones from breaking like I’ve seen in fight videos? I would like to avoid this since it gives me nightmares.

[@blessedisdeath]

Shin conditioning. Basically causing micro fractures in the bone that reheal as stronger. Lots of running and kicking bags of various hardness

[@jaybofa617]

@@blessedisdeath Thanks man. I looked it up and I guess I have to beat the shit out of them with a metal pipe or something to hardcore condition them.

[@NomdePlume337]

Every time you hit the bag, your shin will get stronger. After a couple years you can chop down a banana tree

So bellybutton techniques are key!
