MTG 105: Ognjen Topic Discusses Differences Of Training/Fighting in Thailand

 Muay Thai Guy Podcast - Episode 104  Ever since I first started in Muay Thai, Brett Hlavacek's name was one that I recognized early on. He was one of the top dogs who trained under the great Kru Phil Nurse from The Wat, so I knew whenever I watched him I would be in for a treat. With his powerful roundhouses, calm composure and deadly counter skills, it was always fun to watch him fight.    Now Brett holds the WBC belt and has been racking up wins both locally in NYC as well as abroad. On top of that he will also be hosting the new Nak Muay Nation training camp in July and is looking to fight at one of Thailand's top promotions like MAX Muay Thai or Super Muay Thai. We talk about his upcoming trip plus much more including:  How his start in Taekwondo eventually led to his love for Muay Thai. Why he decided to start competing at the early age of 12. How the Muay Thai scene was much different when he was growing up in the sport. His decision to move to NYC to train full-time under Phil Nurse at The Wat. What made him want to pursue Muay Thai as a career rather than a traditional job his parents wanted. What his past experiences in Thailand have been like and what he expects in his upcoming trip. How he's developed into a coach and trainer throughout his years at The Wat. What he and Kru Nurse look for when bringing up young fighters. How he develops young fighters through training, interclubs and demo fights. Why as he's gotten older he's decided to cut less weight for his fights. And much, MUCH more!

MTG 104: Training Chat With WBC Champ Brett Hlavacek from The Wat

D.J Miller

 The Muay Thai Guy Podcast - Episode 103  Totally dedicating your life to Muay Thai can be a difficult thing to do, especially with it being so difficult to make a living. But the lack of extrinsic reward doesn't deter fighters like Nak Muay Nation sponsored fighter, D.J. Miller from creating a lifestyle that allows him immerse himself in the sport.    The first day D.J. stepped foot in a Muay Thai gym, he knew that Muay Thai was going to be a big part of his life. Since then he's had over 30 amateur fights, 12 championship belts and is off to a solid start in his professional career. I had a chance to talk with D.J. about his career including things like:  How the movie "The Protector" peaked his curiosity about Muay Thai. Why even as a high school wrestler and experienced grappler, he chooses to stay away from MMA and focus solely on Muay Thai. How his location makes it hard for him to get fights as both an amateur and a pro. Why he chose to fight in so many Muay Thai tournaments throughout the states. The ups and downs of his career and how he was able to overcome a tough KO loss. Why he thinks Muay Thai needs more personality to grow in the U.S. How he able to train in small spurts throughout the entire day with his job. Why he takes it on himself to coach and lead a team of fighters. How he's able to balance training his team and training himself. His thoughts on weight cutting and why he would rather go up in weight than cut weight. And much, much more!

MTG 099: Muay Thai Chat with Marcus Oakley of Goblin Muay Thai

Joshua Manuel

 Muay Thai Guy Podcast - Episode 98  As a fighter and competitive athlete, the power of the mind can NOT be overlooked.    We all know the saying "Fighting is 90% mental and 10% physical", but how often do we take the time to actually train our minds? If the mental side is such a crucial aspect to your success as a fighter, why aren't you having mental training sessions where you optimize your thought process, memory, focus and emotion?    Fighters are becoming aware of how important it is to train the mind, and that's where guys like Joshua Manuel come into play. Joshua is a fight hypnotist who specializes in helping fighters train their unconscious mind to eliminate doubt/anxiety and replace it with confidence/focus. In our interview we cover a whole range of topics including:  What initially drew him into wanting to learn more about hypnosis. What type of benefits are expected after being hypnotized. How he deals with skeptics and people who are hesitant to believe in this type of work. Why he likes to work with competitive fighters and help them optimize their mind. What the main objective of a fight hypnotist is. How to pick a fight hypnotist and what to look for to avoid frauds.

<h2> Muay Thai Guy Podcast - Episode 98</h2> As a fighter and competitive athlete, the power of the mind can NOT be overlooked. We all know the saying "Fighting is 90% mental and 10% physical", but how often do we take the time to actually train our minds? If the mental side is such a crucial aspect to your success as a fighter, why aren't you having mental training sessions where you optimize your thought process, memory, focus and emotion? Fighters are becoming aware of how important it is to train the mind, and that's where guys like Joshua Manuel come into play. Joshua is a fight hypnotist who specializes in helping fighters train their unconscious mind to eliminate doubt/anxiety and replace it with confidence/focus. In our interview we cover a whole range of topics including: <ul> <li>What initially drew him into wanting to learn more about hypnosis.</li> <li>What type of benefits are expected after being hypnotized.</li> <li>How he deals with skeptics and people who are hesitant to believe in this type of work.</li> <li>Why he likes to work with competitive fighters and help them optimize their mind.</li> <li>What the main objective of a fight hypnotist is.</li> <li>How to pick a fight hypnotist and what to look for to avoid frauds.</li> <li>The process in which fight hypnosis has become his career and how he went about pursuing it.</li> <li>Some key techniques and concepts that he uses when doing coaching sessions.</li> <li>And much, much more!</li> </ul> <a href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/muaythaiguy/MTG098.mp3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click Here</a> or on the podcast player at the top of the page to listen to MTG 098: Joshua Manuel Connect with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/joshunit" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Josh on Facebook</a> and check out his website at <a href="http://zenhypnotics.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">zenhypnotics.com</a> <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/muay-thai-guy-podcast/id636798781" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Be cool and click here to leave a rating and review.</a> Let us know what you thought about the interview in the comment section below! <a href="http://www.muay-thai-guy.com/muay-thai-guy-podcast.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MTG 098 back to more MTG podcast episodes</a> <a href="http://www.muay-thai-guy.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Back to Muay Thai Guy home page</a>

MTG 098: Fight Hypnosis and The Unconscious Mind with Joshua Manuel

 Muay Thai Guy Podcast – Episode 97  Chris Bradford performing the ceremonial Wai Kru. Photo by W.L. Photography   Chris Bradford is a Muay Thai veteran who has been in the ring dozens of times against tough, game opponents. But he says that strapping on 4oz MMA gloves and stepping into a steel cage is quite a different feeling than fighting with the traditional 8oz boxing gloves in a ring... and I tend to believe him.    In this episode of the Muay Thai Guy podcast, Chris and I discuss his career, his retirement and what his goals are now that he's decided to step into the ring. We cover a wide variety of topics including:  How he got his start in martial arts in Kyokushin Karate and then eventually graduated to Muay Thai. What is was like stepping into the cage for the first time with MMA gloves and how the feeling differs from a regular fight. How he changed his game plan to fit the Caged Muay Thai style and why that was important to his success. The feeling of losing a world title fight and how he was able to overcome the defeat. His biggest triumph over a tough Thai fighter, Waytharan Sitsongpeenong that no one thought he could beat. What it's like training fighters and training himself at the same time, and how it eventually lead to his retirement. Why and how he decided to start the Prestige Fight Series promotion. How he's able to balance all these different areas of his life. And much, MUCH more.

MTG 069: Strength & Conditioning For Muay Thai Breakdown with Don Heatrick of Heatrick.com

Let me just start off by saying that I've been a huge fan of Duane Ludwig since I got started in Muay Thai and kickboxing. He's fought some of the best in the world including John Wayne Parr, Masato, Ramon Dekkers, Albert Kraus, Malaipet and others. Not only that, but he also coached Team Alpha Male to their first UFC title by helping TJ Dillashaw defeat Renan Barao... needless to say, Duane knows his shit.    Also, I just wanted to give a shoutout to Rachel who first planted the idea in my head to reach out and interview Duane. Thank you for that idea and for the review of the podcast, you're fucking awesome!    Anyway, in the podcast, Duane discusses a variety of topics including:  How his new academy Ludwig Martial Arts is doing in Denver, Colorado. Who is toughest opponent was (besides himself) during his kickboxing and K-1 days. Why he decided to make the switch from kickboxing to MMA. What type of adjustments he had to make going from K-1 to the UFC. What his general philosophy on striking is and what he believes are the most important aspects of being a good striker. The benefits of fighting from both stances and why everyone should learn to do it. What is was like coaching Team Alpha Male and the challenges he faced training all these beasts at once. His thoughts on smoking weed and how it's helped him after his career. How smoking isn't for everyone but if used in moderation could be beneficial to some people. What tips he would give to up and coming fighters trying to make it in the fight world And much, much more!

Shane Fazen

  I really enjoyed doing this podcast with Shane Fazen from fighttips.com because we both have a lot in common. Our names sound alike, we love Muay Thai, we're both ravishingly handsome and we're both online bloggers who have to deal with a lot of the same challenges.    Needless to say, I've been following Shane Fazen's youtube channel for a little awhile now because his videos are badass and edited extremely well. Oh, and of course, they're loaded with practical tips that cover a wide variety of topics including Muay Thai, self defense, Taekwondo, Jiu Jitsu, and much more. In my interview with Shane, we talk a whole range of topics including:  His start in martial arts and his gradual evolution from Taekwondo to Muay Thai to Boxing and a handful of other disciplines. What martial art he thinks is most effective in a self defense situation. Why he began his Youtube channel and how it's grown to nearly 30 million views and 250k subscribers. How he's able to find the time to make all of these videos while not skimping on quality. His online classes and why he believes online learning can be beneficial to anyone's training. The online trolls that are rampant on Youtube and how he's been able to take the hate in stride. How awesome it's been inspiring younger kids who have been bullied to stand up for themselves. Why bullying is such an epidemic and the best ways to approach a bully. The difference between self defense and a fighting sport. And much, much more!
