* 67 Throwing techniques
* 29 Grappling techniques
* 22 Striking techniques

Total: 118 officially recognized techniques. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

As mentioned yesterday, I like when classes are small as it allows me to really focus on one guy at a time and teach really teach them proper technique with great attention to detail.

Here we are working on developing a stiff jab. For a jab to become an effective set up and harrassment tool, your opponent needs to know that it bites 🐍•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I actually enjoy it when like two people show up to class (probably not good business 😁, but Raktan isn’t exactly a commercial venture anyhow). It allows me to really focus on the guys and teach them with great attention to detail.

Here we are doing a reflex drill to teach the student to identify what strikes are coming and respond with appropriate defense and a two-punch counter. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

We played Muay Thai soccer in order of the upcoming World Cup! ⚽️

So yesterday we had kick-sparring and whoever got outscored would have to either do 10 burpies or eat a durian wafer 😁

These guys are crazy! They all chose durian and ate it like nothing 😆🤣 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

We had a fun class today that we ran like an internal seminar with some nice set ups 👊🏼 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
