business

about my business?

What would you like to know all about? So when did you start? I started in 90-something 98, I think 98, yeah, 1998. Yeah, I was fighting in '99. I think how old were you when you started? When I started. He was uh 28, I think 28. Yeah, so he's only five years old. No, you can start at any time. It's good for everyone. I wish I had started younger, it's better to start younger, but you can start any time, okay, and then when did you open this facility here? I opened this gym in June 2020. Yes, the worst time to open. A gym was once good, what was it like?

It was very difficult at the time, but my students knew that I have a good product, I teach quite well, so they came and luckily I survived, it was a very difficult time, although it is okay, and if you wanted to. to open this business and do this um, I've trained someone to win all the championships. I think there are out there and I'm good at teaching so I want to pass that on to other people and I want to help people. I like helping people with their health and losing weight or whatever your goals are, you know, but as long as you learn something that actually works in actual combat in real life, yeah, and then what are some of the things that we learned? here, what do you have? any specialty or yeah, they're all different Services, it's all Muay Thai Muay Thai is kickboxing, okay, it's a form of kickboxing and, um, that's what we do, that's all we do here, okay, I see , you train right here, um, yeah, training on the mats and then in the ring okay and then we hit the bags and it's all different types of training, yeah, okay, and then how many sessions or classes do you offer?

Well, I like it to be three, four, five, it's five classes a day, so I do five classes a day. day without counting the kids, so every day, um, I have classes every day, okay, and you're open Monday to Monday to Saturday. I just don't do it on Sundays, I have a day off on Sunday, of course, yeah, sure, yeah, you have to rest, oh you want to. to fight, I guess it's okay, let's go to self defense classes, great for anyone who needs some lessons, no matter your age, no, the form, the style, no, it's for everyone, so my perspective on fighting is what works in real fights. self defense, okay, because it's self defense, it's a real fight, someone is trying to attack you, so you'll be able to defend yourself if you really know how to fight, that's it, yeah, is there anything specific that people really need to know?

I would like someone to join you as you watch this special video on kickboxing, especially if you have to learn something specific today about it. Well, what I just said is self-defense and it's really good for your health. You know, it's cardio and it's strength conditioning and it's good for you and you'll be able to defend yourself and really what it promotes is confidence, okay, like when I'm walking somewhere and someone wants to fight or someone being like they look at me and they don't want to. fight me, because I have that you have that confidence, you walk with confidence like I don't care about someone throwing a punch at me, whatever you know, that will keep you out of more. problems you get into that's the main thing great let's get me ready to go okay so I want you to put your feet like mine like this okay okay now you're going to throw this is called a jab, it's going to be your left hand and what What you want to do is imagine that there's a straight pipe right here and you want to shoot this punch straight into that pipe like this, so you're going to go here like this, okay, okay, now to throw this punch.

You stand up to take a step with your front foot, so let's say my foot made a noise on the ground and my punch makes a noise on the back, it's going to hit at the same time, so it's going to go at the same time, like this who takes a step with your front foot and throws this punch straight like this ready like this good now make it go straight and straight back here well well well keep the elbow in keep the elbow here well and go straight over here well once again boom well well, we can teach you another throw let's do an overhead shot so this one closes his eyes and this one knocks them out, okay, okay, so you're going to take your thumb and you're going to go up and down like this, so up and down.

This way I warm up first and then and then this goes up and down, yeah, but make sure you close this, okay, so go this way. Now remember the step we did right, yeah, so step with the jab, step with the first one and then. throw this one okay, okay, again, take a step and then go over there, okay, I think I need a little more strength in my arm, yeah, okay, okay, so take a step and then by here, good good job, there you go, so it's a jab and an overhead okay, there you go, you're halfway there I thought my finger hurts but I don't know why why you thought of her I thought I thought it was going to hurt me no, it's supposed to hurt the other person, not you Okay, in case you need it, okay, and today I learned something, there you go, you have another movie you want to show me, so you're going to kick with your right leg, that's how your hands are going to go to your right hand.

It's going to go like this and your left hand, I mean, your left hand is going to go up like this and your right hand is going to go down when you kick, so you're going to turn your hips to kick like this, okay, let's kick over there. one so remember it's your hip that rotates this way okay okay don't hit with your foot you're going to hurt your foot so you want to hit with your shin because that's going to hurt them more okay yeah so you don't want to hit with your foot you're going to hurt your foot, okay, so you want to be a little closer, okay, good, and then you're going to push with your hip into the bag like this, yeah, that's better, okay, just learn, ready, yeah, good, good. well again boom okay, don't go with your foot a little deeper okay, okay, that's pretty good, okay, that's what it takes practice, just like everything else, well, now you've got it guys I hope you learn a little. more, you are here in the heart of Cinco Ranch in Katy Texas, be sure to contact Mark, his company and there is a store here for you.
