Muay Thai Advanced Pad Work and Chaining Tutorial

[@marcorodriguez7694]

Has this dude competed in Glory yet?? Something about this man stands out! Excellent work, definitely learned a lot from these videos!

[@Bsweeney8t3]

Love seeing Paul Karpowicz tutorials, very talented and exciting fighter, and looks to be a talented coach too, hope he returns to fighting very soon!

This guy, Karpowicz, is legit! Great mitt technique! I love all his contributions to Warrior Collective.

[@MsJasonHarrison]

This young man is one of Master Sken`s greatest representatives and highest Instructors in the art of Muay Thai. Boxing or Muay-Thai show respect. 99.9% of the posters here could not live for 10 seconds in or outside the ring with Kru Paul!! ;)

[@warriorcollective]

Jason Harrison Paul is a great example of the Muay Thai taught by Master Sken. Respect is what should separate the martial arts from everything else!! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@bucktip]

this was probably one of the best tutorials i've seen yet.....problem is that its hard to find a training partner...quite difficult to do this with a new person each time....some people hold pads differently and the vibe rhythm is off with each new-person--and worse yet.. some people don't even show up meanwhile i'm there almost everyday.....i'm installing a heavy bag in my apartment, any ideas for things that I can do alone?

[@warriorcollective]

+Jeff - Mci Hey, glad you enjoyed the tutorial. It really is an excellent one from Paul. This kind of work would be difficult to replicate as you see it here on a heavy bag, the whole point is to chain combinations with speed on the pads. I would suggest checking out some of the other videos (how to develop devastating knees by Master A) on this channel to get some stuff to work on the bag. The other option is to write down all the combinations from this video and then break them up into very small chunks. Work them progressively i.e. one technique at a time and you will find that even relatively inexperienced pad holders will eventually find the flow to at least get parts of it working for you in training. I hope this helps, let me know how you get on!

[@bucktip]

+Stuart Tomlinson Thanks for the reply--much appreciated. i've been working on your advise and it has been working out fairly well, thanks again.-----however I have another question.--I think that sparring with advanced fighters is key to getting better..however when the camp doesn't allow knees during sparring...how can one learn proper rhythme for Muay-thai??.... not to toot my own horn.. , but i’m one of the advanced students there and have great rhythm and technique, however..it was AMAZING how off-balanced i was when knees were involved ( I sparred with a new guy who showed up one day)..….and it thew my whole game off course… which i loved because it gave me something else that was challenging to get better at…unfortunately , that student ( who has years of experience) is now gone, so i’m pretty much stuck..-..i love the camp im at and dont want to leave,---any advise?

[@ala847]

I can relate. I am stuck to the training bag.

[@ala847]

[@para1210]

mroe more more videos we want from you ! awesome trainer !!!

[@fabianschneider2443]

Very nice video and very impressive technique. Hope I get the chance to train with you guys some day:)

[@warriorcollective]

Fabian Schneider Glad you liked the video, Paul and Luke are amazing to train with, you will have to let me know if you ever manage to get over to Manchester in the UK in order to do so!!

[@robertstrong7813]

that is epic combo and where can I get those HULK gloves to train. Also after I first saw your pad work tutorial I knew I had to subscribe. look forward to trying these drills.

[@robertlam18]

Hi thanks for the video. I like rolling it is very effective. However some people say it is not safe to roll and slip in Muay Thai. What is your opinion ?

[@warriorcollective]

UNCLEBOB It is essentially a case of horses for courses. Rolling against punches is a solid and effective defensive option. If however you overuse it when fighting in Muay Thai, you are at risk of eating a knee as your opponent begins to see the patten in your head movement. Paul is a great example of an elite Nak Muay who uses it effectively through timing without it being a weakness!

[@david_108]

Hey man, your skills are oustanding. Are you practicing martial arts since you were a kid or something? .Great videos, I am suscribed.

[@warriorcollective]

+David Lopez Paul has been training a long time, originally one of Master Sken's prodigies, he has grown into being one of the most entertaining/exciting fighters in the UK today. I am glad you enjoyed watching, thanks for commenting and subscribing, it is much appreciated!

[@WhiteTigerMuayThaiTx]

Anyone notice he skipped #8? I think he did it on purpose.. cause they were smooth AF with that combo!

[@joemaldonado5392]

CCCCLLLLLLLEEEEAAANNNN AF!!!! Good shit I’m gonna learn this

[@nevada8004]

looks good man

[@Louid133]

Hope to be this good one day!

[@TheRealFFS]

Lost it after 5:05 :D Crazy combos though. I always have difficulties to think of something for my partner when I hold pads.

[@warriorcollective]

FFSultrAslan This is a crazy long drill but once you practice it enough, it does sink in! Break them down into the different combinations and drill them separately before you chain them together and you may find you have more luck!

[@chrismitchell7280]

I trained MT for 18 year so find a lot of these tutorial videos a bit pointless. They're not bad, or wrong, just a bit meh. This entire series of tutorials though, from paul, really do give you something to think about. Or maybe it's his enthusiasm, either way, it inspires me to hot stuff again. Great fighter too, is Mr Karpowicz

[@kylewoods923]

What the... Nice work!

[@danlewis8160]

AWESOME

[@jameswilliamharrison]

Hahah loved it, especially the giant gloves gunna also nick some of them combos lol cheers.

[@warriorcollective]

james harrison When he pulled those out, I could not stop laughing but even I was impressed by how he could still make those drills work wearing them ha ha! Great video by Paul!

[@saifulyamin1826]

Stuart Tomlinson Hello and good day. Just wanted to ask a question. How do you seamlessly apply these drills and techniques in actual fighting or sparring? I'm currently training Muay Thai, few months in but I'm having trouble advancing and applying techniques and drills that I learned into sparring. Would be happy to hear your thoughts and advise. Thanks.

[@warriorcollective]

Saiful Yamin With regards to this particular video, it is not really aimed at a direct application straight into sparring. The pad work combinations are designed to create flow, synaptic responses and set pieces to transfer into your sparring but they need to be seen in a slightly different light in order to make them 'work'. You have to realise that pad work should be utilised in order to put the fighter through different scenarios, ranges and situations in sparring. Attacking, defending, countering, movement and footwork are being worked through all the time. I would suggest breaking these drills down further and isolating them as simple give and take drills into sparring before working them with increased resistance and non compliance. This video has a huge amount of things going on, that is what makes it great of course, but also what you must realise, is the culmination of a long time training. I hope this helps, please let me know what you think and how you get on!

[@GeorgiosPizza]

Hell of a combos 👍

[@johndiramio]

Omg this guy is fucking awesome didn't tell us his favorite song fruit shoes like every one else... got right into it and did it.

[@jmaccabees]

good stuff

[@warriorcollective]

+jmaccabees Thanks, this is an awesome tutorial from Paul and one of my personal favourites!

[@alexanderhajtmanek3241]

Bravo

[@raoultijssens4699]

The last part are those 10 Oz 😜 Love de videos man

[@germanmmaguy2144]

Wow wow wow

[@mrcoz6056]

Is Paul back in consistent competition?

[@warriorcollective]

He has had a fight or two since his big injury from facing Keith last year but is not currently as active on the competition scene. I know that he has been concentrating on coaching recently with lots of his fighters taking part in bouts all across the UK. I am sure we have not seen the last of him in the ring as of yet though!

[@mrcoz6056]

Well he's a brilliant coach from what I've seen, so im sure the Muay Thai world is thankful that he's focusing on that. Hopefully he does take his unique ability into the ring again sometime, it'd be a pleasure to see him bounce back!

[@redpillpusher]

respect 👍🏽

[@Countingcoupboxing]

beautifull… where can we get a pair of avenged gloves like those lol

[@warriorcollective]

ANIMIKII MISHIPESHU This is definitely one of my favourite videos ha ha, I am not sure where Paul got those gloves from, I will have to ask him....

[@TormodSteinsholt]

Polite pad partner. Didn't call out that it was actually sensei messing up the first sequence. He was supposed to back and throw a cross once more before doing the parry stuff.

[@tammtrelly1230]

where can i buy them gloves?

[@adry95rm]

G O L D and funny at the end 😂

[@MikeDrew312]

Who can hate Paul and his pad holder! LOL

[@RobotBodypop]

[@Chrisdaehan]

[@warriorcollective]

Chrisdaehan ha ha, everyone asks that!! I will have to get Paul to spill the beans on where they are from next time I see him!! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@warriorcollective]

have you got a warrant officer Paul genuinely is an amazing fighter and instructor. His gym is 2 Technical Muay Thai and they are based in Reddish, Stockport (this is classed as East manchester). Make sure you click on the website (detailed in the vid description) to gain more information!

[@wazlfc5802]

Master skens art I was at Liverpool training now injured knees gone I wish I cld do this but over weight and fat slow no stamina anyway Paul looks good

[@yahtzeeeuook3193]

Look up intermittent fasting mate

[@dennisglover6124]

[@Anathemax1]

İt is look like anderson silva drills

[@warriorcollective]

DİABLO lucifer That can only ever be a compliment! Glad you enjoyed watching!!

[@Leadfoot_P71]

I was actually thinking more like Mayweather... Truly awesome in either case :D

[@husamalabed3501]

Close your eyes sounds like Darren till

[@danielpark5143]

Yeah?

[@thetaffia.]

Bet you couldnt peel an orange in ya pocket wiv them gloves on

[@warriorcollective]

have you got a warrant officer Probably not ha ha

[@ifzkadet9465]

Lmao wth is with the big gloves he's still got it

[@sargent5150]

The problem with this is finding a pad holder to work with. The average person at class is going to mess it up as many people are inexperienced and people hold differently from person to person. This is why you PAY for privates with the coach. If your are serious, you should be already, or at least on a “program” that he/she works with you regularly to develop this kind of padwork.

[@nvanguy6868]

What in the hell are those gloves at the end?????😂

[@redgelgolez6268]

are your skills for sale? haha dammn

[@warriorcollective]

Redgel Golez We all wish they were ha ha, glad you found the vid and enjoyed it!

[@davydtaylor4151]

Those gloves are pukka

[@christopheclugston]

choreography not reaction

[@warriorcollective]

Christophe Clugston Sometimes coaches and instructors utilise repetition and choreography to build the necessary skills needed to react with great technique and effectiveness! Glad you enjoyed watching!

[@christopheclugston]

You have empirical evidence to support your assertion? In contrast, the Cubans and Soviets who structured their programs (in the past) on empirical results didn't use what was shown here.

[@warriorcollective]

Christophe Clugston I think it would be hard to say that the development of any fighter does not start with some element of choreographed repetition. Surely talent is just the repeated drilling of particular skills until they are internalised and thus then of use in a more free flowing way. I would agree that it is fundamental that fighters and martial artists should also utilise systems that are more random/chaotic to ensure ownership of the aforementioned skill set and that is not just reliant on memory/sequencing. I am not saying that either is better, just that there is a place for both!

[@christopheclugston]

Combinations are not choreography. Trying to apply a pattern is a mistake in unarmed or armed. It sells because you can get people to do something about doing something but it's not reality. reaction drills are far more important.

[@christopheclugston]

People who really fight and are above fake troll account acting like an authority--so you wouldn't know

[@tannyp5271]

Not traditional Muay Thai.

[@emanuelsimoes5873]

This is Kickboxing, NOT Muay Thai, if you roll like that you're gonna get kneed in the face.

[@namphon]

Very good but Boxing not Muay Thai:)
