Rob Kaman Seminar

I'm bottom left in the red

Ok so the long and short if it is that Rob Kaman came to my gym (kombatarts.com) to give a Muay Thai seminar. It wasn't cheap, but wow, just wow. The things I learned make me realize how much more work I have to put in if I want to be a great fighter.

Not only did he teach me things I never even fathomed before (angles in the ring, getting out of the corner, combinations that are damn near impossible to block) but like in life it is the little things that make the difference. HE showed me minor things to change in my game. Twisting my body to throw the cross from a position that I can generate far more torque and much more power, "sitting down" when throwing the hook for more power, setting up a complicated powerful counter with a simple one that has the same set up as the more powerful one. I learned so much.

And he was a pretty nice guy to boot. Like I'm sure he does this kind of stuff a lot, and he has countless world titles, he trains with George St. Pierre, Hermes Franca, and countless other world famous fighters so I'm sure he wasn't super thrilled to be doing this seminar. But he still took the time to take pictures, and help with technique even if it was something very simple and quite frankly not worth his time to correct.

We trained for 6 hours on Saturday with a lunch break and for about 3 hours on Sunday with no lunch break. That's about all I have to write about the seminar because everything else would be very technical and thus very boring for all of you (Leigh and my mom I mean, as they are the only ones who read this blog).

Oh also, I met a pretty amazing girl at the seminar...
