Legendary Striking Premium

If you’re reading this, then you’re here. And if you’re here, it's clear that you're interested in more than just training hard and barely improving. 

You're interested in scientifically-proven methods of technical progression.

You're looking for a complete, logical system to strike like your favorite combat sports legends.

We’re not just talking about showing you how it’s done. We’re talking about learning in a way that will allow you to actually model it.

Training hard at gyms without an intelligent and progressive system, buying unstructured online curriculums, or watching random YouTube tutorials DOESN'T WORK for 95% of the people for at least two reasons. (There are a lot more reasons, but let’s just start with two for now.)

A world class-coach once told me that the quality of a coach should not be measured by how successful a few of his students are. That is not difficult to achieve:

"The quality of a coach should be measured by how he's able to make the entire room into skilled martial artists, even the ones who are untalented and and unathletic.

The very gifted and extremely dedicated can get good anywhere, or even on their own. But if a coach can make the untalented and unathletic good, then you know this coach has an intelligent training process and a high-quality system for technical progression." 

Dr. David Tian is a brilliant guy who has just crushed it in life. Multiple masters and PhD degrees in psychology and philosophy from the most prestigious universities around the world.

He now runs his own business as one of the most recognized relationship coaches in Asia, and he's also a therapeutic coach to some of the most high-profile individuals from around the world.

It’s safe to say that he is a LEARNING MACHINE. 

Growing up, David was an athlete of multiple sports, and he has trained in several traditional martial arts. 

As an adult, he became an avid weightlifter. He trained for several years at world-class gyms in Singapore and Thailand, taking over 50 (!!) one-on-one lessons with world champions. 

All of this should set him up to be a skilled striking technician, right? A true killer.

WRONG.

When David first came to me to bring his striking to a new level, he thought he was ready to learn advanced striking— the tactical striking that legends use in their fights. 

I didn't have the heart to tell him BUT...

He had absolutely no fundamentals. 

Every single technique he executed would be considered a textbook failure.

The funny thing is, I wasn’t shocked at all, and, to be fair, it's not really his fault. At the time, he didn’t know what he didn’t know.

But the beautiful part is that in just a matter of weeks, he made progress that, anywhere else, with any other trainer, would have taken him YEARS to achieve.

You see, I already knew that most coaches have no idea how to teach body movement to someone who is not super talented. 

But David, like so many strikers around the world, fell into the "JUST TRAIN!” TRAP, thinking that if he just trained with experienced coaches and fighters, he'd get good along the way. At the very least, he'd have the basics down, right?

Years went by for David, and that never happened. 

In fact, like most people, he didn't even know what bad or good technique was.

He lacked the self-awareness needed to make progress (which I believe is the coach's responsibility.)

But he was aware that the Thai trainers in class mostly ignored him, and that the talented athletes usually utterly schooled him. 

He loved the sport, so David wondered why he wasn't improving. His grit and admiration for the warriors he saw performing on TV were all that kept him chipping away at what seemed like an endless rock.

Fortunately for David, I was putting together Legendary Striking, and I had a step-by-step process on building fundamentals – training methods on the cutting edge of sports science.  

During the first session — within a mere 10 minutes — he was shocked at how much technical progression he was able to make and the new power he was able to generate. 

In other words, with the exact knowledge that is in this course, I helped to optimize his intelligence and athletic ability, and allowed him to rise to meet his natural potential – something all his previous training and one-on-ones with world champs had failed to do.

A student can only meet their potential if the coach knows how to optimize for it. 

In the case of David, he had always brought maximum effort and dedication. He was plenty intelligent and athletic enough to be a good striker.

But his instructors had failed to bring it out of him, and the role of a good teacher is to have a student meet their potential. 

That's what Legendary Fundamentals is about, because without it, it is impossible to layer it with Legendary Striking Tactics.

As with David's coaches – it wasn’t their fault. They just never had to learn fundamentals the way he needed to learn it, so they have no clue how to teach them.

It’s really not their fault, but IT IS the reason that 95% of people who train never seem to get better: they’re missing the intricate art of solid fundamentals.

Does this mean David should never train with these coaches again? 

No! In fact, David still trains with these coaches and now, his training is greatly enhanced (and far more personally rewarding).

Within a few short sessions with me, David had developed good fundamentals and, when he went back into the Muay Thai gym, the same Thai trainers that once ignored him now came up to train and spar with him.

He was largely ignored before, and now he's noticed and they're always friendly. What changed?

On the pads, they gave him tactical and strategic pad work, pushing him a lot harder than they ever would with other students. Why?

Instead of just making him blast the pads for a quick workout with NO technical adjustment, they suddenly held him to a much higher standard.

In a crowd of students, the trainers WANTED to work with him instead of the other students. 

In Muay Thai culture, this is a HUGE COMPLIMENT.

You see, most traditional combat sports coaches, such as Muay Thai trainers in Thailand, love seeing progress and talent. So for David’s coaches to have suddenly taken an interest in him was their way of expressing that they were impressed with his progress and that they wanted to push him to get even better. 

To summarize: after a few short sessions with, David was no longer in the 95% - he was now “the 5%,” the cream of the crop.

Recognize what’s happening here: practicing this curriculum has a SNOWBALL EFFECT on your striking journey. Like a rolling snowball gets bigger, so do you get better. And like a growing snowball gathers more and more snow, so do you only get better and better exponentially.

Training based on the knowledge you’re going to learn in this course and going to a real Muay Thai gym are NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE to one another. 

This program’s role is to enhance that synergy. The purpose of this course is to make 100% of the students in Legendary Striking transition into the top 5% of all people who practice martial arts. 

The established “sink or swim” training process has ROBBED YOU of the opportunity to reach your FULL POTENTIAL as you progress in your striking career. 

How is it possible for you to form perfect striking habits from the very beginning of your journey if your coaches don’t know how to hardwire them into you? 

If they don’t know which specific muscle action should be used and how to train that muscle, how is it possible for you to learn to use it? Do you think you’ll just stumble onto the right techniques and knowledge by accident? 

Imagine, too, if you learn this much later in your striking journey. How much time do you expect to spend re-learning striking if you’re doing it “freestyle” – without a structured scientific correction process?

Intense striking training is hard enough as it. The process naturally makes you resilient and anti-fragile.

However, no matter how tough and resistant to pain you are, an unnecessarily time consuming process  from “beginner” to “technician” shouldn’t be something you suffer. It must be effective and efficient so that time and potential are both maximally exploited.

Imagine getting stuck in the fundamental stage for YEARS – and you don’t even know you're stuck there! Or even worse, deluding yourself to believe that you are good.

This illusory superiority is called the Dunning Kruger Effect – and it’s the worst thing to experience as a beginner who has already invested a lot of time in striking. 

Remember: TIME is absolutely the most precious thing we have in life.

To go further, we must always focus on the efficiency and effectiveness of the time investments which we make. 

Like a ladder must have enough rungs to allow one to climb high enough, so too must our training methods be optimized to allow us to stretch and meet our potential.

There is no other way to be your best self.  

How do you build a skyscraper if its foundation is anything but rock-solid?

Building the best foundation of fundamentals before progression to advanced striking is something that every single great coach can agree on. 

By filtering everything we do through a SCIENTIFIC PROCESS, we will get this foundation built faster than anything you've experienced before. 

The speed with which you build a solid foundation will also determine the speed with which you can develop your Legendary Tactics.

Notice how this course goes way beyond basics. You will also learn the brilliant Legendary Tactics that are a must-have for achieving Legendary Striking. After all, perfect techniques are only useful if you know how to apply them in combat tactically.

These tactics come with more than instruction – they come with HISTORY. I have extracted and systemized all the knowledge covered in my many breakdowns, sequencing it all in such a way that you will be able to follow the progression of each of the techniques and tactics used.

We will take our exploration of these much further than before. Included in the curriculum are in-depth essays that I’ve written to underpin the history of the strikes you’re learning. This will aid you in understanding how each important tactic scaffolds off another to flow together logically.

And that's not all...

I am bringing on Legendary Strikers to teach you these concepts on camera themselves.

Meet just two of your elite instructors for this portion of the curriculum:

Pro Muay Thai fighters Chris Mauceri and Petpanomrung Kiatmoo9

(P.S. This is only the beginning. Expect more to come…!)

Chris Mauceri was a junior gymnastics champion who was, early on in his life, selected to train at the Olympic centre. 

After racking up too many injuries, though, his Olympic dreams were dashed. Chris wasn’t the extreme talent or natural athletes like the other Olympic hopefuls around him; he simply put in more work.

For Chris, the devastation set in hard and heavy. He fell into a years-long depression after losing his ability to perform in the sport he loved.

After a long, dark time, Chris found something new – something that his injuries didn’t preclude – something that made him feel like gymnastics had when he could still perform at the highest, most elite levels. Chris found Muay Thai.

In the beginning, he progressed slowly, building perfect fundamentals and a technical style, even as many of his teammates surpassed him early on.

Chris applied the lessons he had learned by becoming elite in gymnastics: by focusing on the fundamentals, he was able to go way further than his teammates in the long run.

You would think as one of the top three American prospects in Muay Thai, he would have a lot of teammates and a coach always taking care of him.

Truthfully, for the most part, his most important teammate was the heavy bag, the mirror for shadowboxing, and his phone for filming himself.

And yet, if you looked at his physical aesthetic and technical progression… Chris Mauceri was a stud!

First, he goes 7-0 in his pro career. Then, he gives the venerable Kevin Ross an epic fight.

“The Terminator” then goes on to beat Coke Chunawat, who had 200+ fights, including a victory over the world-famous Buakaw Banchamek.

He fought Sittisak to a split decision – a #1 ranked Lumpinee Stadium fighter at the time.

See a pattern? Against top-level opponents, the outcomes are razor-thin – a win one day, a close loss the next.

Against anyone even remotely close to his own experience level, though? He runs right through them.

Not bad from a guy who learned his fundamentals on a heavy bag, huh?

Time, though, doesn’t care about how great you are. It’ll always peel back to reveal your weaknesses – your sore spots.

For Chris, the injuries he got at the end of his gymnastics career came back to haunt him.

But like myself, Chris found that his injuries actually gave him the opportunity to become a better martial artist and an even better coach.

How? Just like me: by learning about sports science and biomechanics.

With the help of his brother, an elite power lifter with a strong understanding of sports science, and his sister, a physiotherapist, Chris feels now like he’s never been a better martial artist.

And on top of that, Chris Mauceri has personally undergone several athletic development programs from a range of different top coaches in America. 

Knowing his story, we can understand how it is that Chris Mauceri is uniquely qualified to teach not only the fundamentals and mechanics of striking, but also how to progress as a striker from learning Legendary Fundamentals to mastering the Legendary Tactics you see every top fighter use.

This is not the mishmash of random techniques “tutorials” you’ll find on YouTube or other striking courses.

Together, Chris and I have outlined together hundreds of videos and essays that sequence tactical striking in a COHESIVE AND LOGICAL manner that is applicable for and by strikers of all levels of skill and experience.

At the age of 25, Petpanomrung is already a multi-sport striking phenom. 

He's beaten some of the best fighters in Kickboxing and Muay Thai history. 

A slick technician capable of adapting to an aggressive hitter, Petpanomrung, dubbed "The Professor," has some of the cleanest tactical striking you will ever see. 

With over 60 Boxing fights, 200 Muay Thai fights, and a dozen Kickboxing fights at the highest level, Petpanomrung is uniquely qualified to teach Legendary Striking across all three sports.

In our curriculum, we explore the highest percentage strikes he's used in his fights, against opposing southpaw and orthodox fighters, as well as historic Kickboxing and Muay Thai techniques. 

In Module 1, “The Top Myths of Striking,” we begin by walking you through the destructive myths and practices that will prevent you from building Legendary Fundamentals. 

Some of the powerful lessons revealed in this module include:

• The specific drills and scientific training methodology necessary for hardwiring good habits and perfect fundamentals faster than any traditional training method.
• How to adjust bad habits and incorrect technique in real time, with profound results realized in just a few sessions.
• Technical cues given to live beginner, intermediate and advanced athletes.
• The lies you’ve been taught about what “good training” looks like are right under your nose – you’ve just never really noticed them! In this module, we’ll expose the following:
• Myth 1: "I know the basics" - Everyone thinks they know the basics. Why is it, then, that when Samart Payakaroon, the greatest striker of all time, goes abroad to teach students, he is routinely teaching the basics (and not his most advanced techniques)? We’ll explore the world of difference that is between top-level, blue-chip fundamentals and what most people think are fundamentals.
• Myth 2: "It takes a long time to develop good technique!" – Sign up for Legendary Striking with zero striking experience and watch how lightning-quick your improvement shows. Within just three sessions, a new student can look like they've been training for at least six months if not a full year. What does take a long time is unlearning bad habits, if it’s possible at all. Without any long-known bad habits to unlearn and untangle, your progress will be shockingly fast.
• Myth 3: "Just train! Just do it!" - It often takes years of unlearning directed by good coaches to correct bad habits, all due to the destructive “just train” mindset. In this module, we show that it is possible for someone to unlearn a bad technique and transform it instead into a powerful, textbook fundamental technique in just 10 minutes. Real results with no gimmicks, just authentic reactions of amazement from long-time students of the game. 
• Myth 4: "There isn't a smarter way to train!" – Wrong – just plain wrong. The work done by Dr. Yessis and from Soviet Sport Secrets programming on how to train perfect technique is explained here with a template workout. 
• Myth 5: "Just throw any strikes! Just hit him!” – Not all strikes are created equal. There is a long list of strikes and combinations that are more likely to land than others. These should be given priority in practice. Coincidentally, training these will grant you the necessary mechanics to execute the lesser-used techniques. We introduce and demonstrate what these specific techniques in this section.
• Myth 6: "Weightlifting is detrimental to athletes" - You can tell the quality of an athletic development trainer by their ability to explain how a loaded exercise (moving weights) benefits a sport action. The best sports scientists can design specialized exercises (ones you’d never, ever find on YouTube) to mimic sport actions. Dr. Yessis personally collaborated on designing many exercises to mimic movements as they happen in actual striking. In this section, we explore a few of these never-before-seen exercises and how it made a student instantly strike smoother with much more power. 

In Module 6, we will walk you through live corrections of strikers of vastly differing experience levels: novice, intermediate and advanced. The focus is on punches and low kicks. For the more advanced strikers, there are also multiple sessions on how to switch to the opposite stance successfully and very quickly.

• Multiple sessions featuring fast, technical progression from a brand-new fighter. We discuss how a "blank slate" is the best canvas on which to draw perfect art. Blank slate strikers free of dysfunctions will learn the fastest. 
• Multiple sessions featuring fast, technical correction and progression from an intermediate striker without proper fundamentals. We assess how to correct years of bad habits and technical mistakes, and how transform that into textbook technique within a few sessions. This process normally takes years. 
• Multiple sessions featuring an advanced striker switching to southpaw, and, in a few short weeks, feeling as natural as in his primary, orthodox fighting stance. This is precisely due to the scientific programming we bake into all these drills and exercises.
• Sport-specific exercises to mimic, correct and strengthen striking techniques. This will have TREMENDOUS BENEFITS to speeding up the process of building fundamentals. 

Dive deep into history in Module 7. We explore the legacy of Legendary Low Kickers and matches with their brilliance on display. These are fully in-depth essays and breakdowns on Legendary Strikers and their tactics.

• Essay on the historic and technical relevance of "Muay Thai vs. Kickboxing: The Fight That Changed History" - a match that woke the combat sports world up to low kicks. Find out exactly how today’s fighters’ stances came into existence – and why.
• Essay on a perfect example of a perfect low kicker. We discuss the tactical strategies of the dazzling punch and low kick combinations of Ernesto Hoost – “Mr. Perfect” himself. Learn about how his style became de facto for most fighters, as well as why it is still widely misunderstood. 
• Essay on Manson Gibson: The King of Awkward and Unorthodox - When the world changed its stance to avoid eating low kicks, Manson didn't, and he succeeded anyway. How? We discuss.

The fundamental tactical makeup of the “punch and low kick” style is our prime target in this module. It’s is a must-learn for anyone starting out in Kickboxing or Muay Thai. Getting this down will allow for much better tactical execution on virtually every other aspect of fighting.

• Sequential punching – creating clear openings for the next punch. Everything in striking should be logical if you want to be a technician/tactician. No “spray and pray,” even if you are adopting this aggressive style. This is the only way to go if you want to use Legendary Tactics.
• How to properly level change on punch combinations to set up the low kick. 
• Powerful counters from bracing the low kick – If you want to low kick well, you will need to know how to brace against one and counter back.
• How to nullify and break the opponent's check – Checks are kryptonite to low kicks. However, a truly tactical low kicker knows how to get around his opponent's check and render it useless.
• One shot, one kill – These are power punching counters that countless kickboxers have used to finish their opponents, all with just one move.
• The “Dutch block” – A simple and effective way to counter a roundhouse to the upper body. This is a must-learn for anyone looking to strike back against high kickers.
• How to defend the level-changing combinations – To understand your style, you must be able to withstand this style as a defender.
• Evading series of logical punches and low kick combinations coming at you. We also discuss how to slip the primary punches in this Kickboxing style. 

Now that you have learned fundamental offense properly, we now move on to how to use the highest-percentage defenses against fundamental strikes. 

• A close examination of weaving punches in Muay Thai and Kickboxing.
• Main parries used for strikes. 
• How to ACTIVELY block with the high guard (something rarely discussed or explored properly). 
• The ACTIVE use of the long guard.
• How to parry the teep with your legs.
• The primary defenses against the teep.
• The most common defenses against offensive knees.

Module 6 illuminates the top five principles of striking – principles that you will unquestionably require further along in your striking journey.

To preface this: over a year ago, a former Australian MMA champion and now coach asked me what my top five principles of technical striking were. I came up with a list, he made it into an image, and this image then went viral.

Because these principles are so important, I went on to write essays about them. There’s so much more that goes into this simple list – in fact, this module will be published as a book in the future, so you’re getting a sneak peek!

• Chapter 1: “Hit and Don’t Get Hit” – It’s surprising how many strikers just plain do not care about this principle. With this in mind, both offense and defense will be prioritized. We also discuss feints, deception, “spray and pray,” straight blasts, time spent on defense, and combinations versus single shots.
• Chapter 2: “Combat Liveness and Entering Flow State” – In this section, we discuss how to transfer striking from the bag/pads to live combat such as sparring and fights. We talk about historic examples of Legendary Fighters focusing on live training, as well as how they combined the two in different stages of their career.
• How to enter the flow state during training and sparring – Understanding the conditions of entering the flow state in training will help speed up your progress, as well as make you enjoy the journey way, way more!
• What each level of training partner can do for your technical and tactical game. 
• Universal guidelines to sparring and sparring etiquette. 
• Chapter 3: “Developing Fight IQ and Emotional Intelligence” – Here we deep dive into the “how” and “why” it is that technicians and tacticians are extremely logical in striking. There's absolutely a reason behind everything they do. When you hear them saying "I'm just flowing in there,” it means they have achieved unconscious competence from constantly practicing. They have successfully engrained a logical striking system into their minds. This is what separates a high-IQ fighter from the rest. 
• Chapter 4: “Reading Patterns and Exploiting Patterns” – In this chapter, we discuss how pattern-reading fighters are set apart from their peers. They are the most adaptable to any environment in the arena of combat. Not so coincidentally, they're also more likely to succeed in life. Pattern reading alone, though isn't enough; it must be used holistically as a part of a complete fighting system.
• Historical overview of Legendary Fighters who remained dominant by being adaptable and versatile. 
• The importance of visualization and watching high-level athletes.  
• Discussion of the core principle: “If it works, use it ruthlessly.” 
• Chapter 5: “If It Doesn’t Work, TROUBLESHOOT!” – Chapter 5 is where we talk about becoming the triple threat: expertly trained in mind, body and craft. Examples here will help identify the factors that separate a "gym killer" from a competitor that rises to the occasion. This phenomenon is important to consider for performance. 
• Why Francis Ngannou froze against Derrick Lewis after getting knocked out in his previous fight, despite having all the tools for a victory in his possession.
• How athletes like Muhammad Ali, Samart Payakaroon and Conor McGregor rise to the occasion and succeed under intense pressure. 
• The most important findings from studying sports psychology that I’ve ever come across. 
• Discussion of energy systems, and how energy usage is different in training versus in competition. 
• How to enhance movement and technique -learning with athletic development and a smart injury prevention plan. 
• How techniques and tactics become critical AFTER sorting out your mind and body. 

The next logical progression after learning punches and low kick fundamentals is learning how to be a strategic kicker. Kicking to the body is arguably the most important technique in Muay Thai. To be successful in the Kickboxing arena, Muay Thai needs to be adapted and made to be context-specific.

There are specific traits and tactics that allow one to be successful in Kickboxing, and Petchpanomrung has it all. He is the king of GLORY Kickboxing for good reason, and we explore all of what he has to offer. 

Petchpanomrung is your Southpaw Legendary Tactics instructor for this course. Like Chris Mauceri, he brilliantly balances his all-out aggression and super technical counter-fighting.

• Interview on Tactical Fighting – This is the most comprehensive interview on techniques and tactics with Petchpanomrung that you’ll ever see. This interview puts you in a perfect position to draw from the technical and tactical mind of a Legendary Striker, and serves as an introduction to using Boxing and Muay Thai for the Kickboxing arena.
• How to utilize the long-range left kick – the single most important technique for a southpaw.
• How to disrupt the aggressive opponent's rhythm and timing to damage with the roundhouse.
• When to kick the body, arm and head – Understanding this concept is critical for the placement of strikes.
• How to use the switch kick against same-stance opponents as a southpaw.
• When and how to double-up your kicks.
• The importance of low kicks in Kickboxing, and how to use them to score.
• The different types of teep, and how to use them against aggressive kickboxers.
• How to kick while avoiding an opponent’s counters.
• How to generate maximum explosiveness with the left kick.
• How to kick while moving backwards, including the ultra-slick slide-back left kick.
• How to setup a head kick as a finishing blow.
• How to knock your opponent out with a jumping head kick.

A strategic kicker can shut down a good puncher. This is how a majority of Muay Thai fighters have all terminated their foreign, boxing-centric opponents in both Muay Thai and Kickboxing.

In this module, we explore all the high-percentage techniques and concepts.

• How to counter straight punches with the rear roundhouse.
• How to pin your opponent's arms with the roundhouse.
• How to score with a lead kick and pendulum kick.
• Question mark kick tactics, plus an exploration of open stance versus closed stance.
• How to pull off a head kick counter against punches.
• The magic of the left body kick against punches.
• How to chain straight punches together with the roundhouse. 
• Timing the low kick against punches.
• How to feint and use throwaway punches to set up roundhouses.
• How to successfully attack the back leg.

Offense must be paired with defense. In Module 13, we analyze the best, most effective ways to defend against the roundhouse kick. There are a lot of details here that most miss out on, so a scrutiny of the topic is in order.

• 6 crucial things to spot when checking the kick.
• How to adjust the height of the check to properly meet the kick.
• The two, primary arm positions when checking.
• How to clear the kick after the double forearm block, Dutch-style.
• 3 main techniques for catching a roundhouse coming from any side.
• Advanced, aggressive kick checking, and how to transition these into catch-and-counter situations. 
• How to check with the lead leg and then immediately counter with it.
• How to move with the roundhouse to sap your opponent’s power.

These are the exact same kicking drills that elite fighters use to heighten their offense and defense sensitivity. Having the right drills and the correct sequential progression in place will allow you to progress at a much faster rate than if you were just “freestyling” from the start. These drills are precisely the cream of the crop.

• “Kicking defense -focused” drill.
• “Defending with the arms” drill.
• “Catch-and-counter” drills.
• “Evasion” drills.
• “Pure offense versus pure defense” drill.
• “Freestyle kick offense and defense” drill.
• Sparring with proper freestyle kicks.

It's easy to watch all the popular viral Muay Thai clips out there and presume that that's all there is to Muay Thai. This is a careless misconception.

In fact, many of the most important matches and fighters have not yet become popular. My career has been centered on giving these fights and fighters exposure, but my mission is far from complete.

In this module, you’ll digest eight, jam-packed chapters of detailed essays written about my most important breakdowns in a way that connects all disparate knowledge of this course together. This is a small preview of my upcoming book, Legendary Striking. 

• Chapter 1: “The Styles of Muay Thai: A Dialogue on Muay Mat versus Muay Fimeu” – I dispel the myth that Muay Thai is a “stand-and-bang” martial art, as well as why certain fighters choose to fight aggressively rather than technically. I also distinguish the very factors that sets the Muay Fimeu fighters apart, and why they're the most respected class of fighters, as well as their unique habits when it comes to studying fights.
• Chapter 2: "The Mark of a Genius-Level Fight IQ Striker” – How genius technicians can  frustrate their opponents and have fights snowball into easy but spectacular wins. We examine several examples of great showmanship fighters, and how they were able to emulate this in training. 
• Chapter 3: “Kings of the Sneaky Style” – In this chapter, we explore what makes sneaky fighters sneaky. How is it that they’re able to see and capitalize on tiny openings that other fighters cannot? There are major differences in tactical priorities and mindsets, and we probe into them here.
• Chapter 4: “Super In-Depth Mechanics of the Question Mark Kick” – In collaboration with Dr. Michael Yessis, we analyze the question mark kick. Every major muscle movement and action is broken down in ways that allow for full understanding of key actions within the kick. Knowing this will been a guide for you in self-designed specialized and general exercises tasked with general kick execution advancement.
• Chapter 5: “Kings of Muay Khao vs. Kings of Muay Fimeu” – Knee fighters and artistic technicians have historically clashed. There are specific traits that allow each respective style to best the other. Knee fighters are like wrestlers in MMA — once they get a hold of you, you're in trouble. That is unless, of course, you possess specific tactical abilities designed to neutralize their weapons. We discuss how legendary Muay Fimeu fighters have done so in this chapter.
• Chapter 6: “The Technician's Secret to Knockouts: Energy Conservation” – There is one consistent strategy that technician fighters use to wear down aggressive opponents’ energy and then perform spectacularly throughout the fight, sometimes resulting in remarkably unique knockouts. This strategy’s composition and implementation are both illustrated at length.
• Chapter 7: “How to Fight a Giant with Muay Thai” – Building on previous sections, we explore the historic fights in which strikers have used their skills to fight opponents 80+ pounds bigger. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is often touted as the number-one fighting art for facing bigger and stronger opponents, but Muay Thai has proven to be equally capable of felling titans. In this chapter, we explore exactly how the legends of Muay Thai have done just that.
• Chapter 8: “The Legendary Left Kick” – Throughout the course, we have detailed how important the left kick is in Muay Thai. In this chapter, we explain why and discuss some of the Legendary Left Kickers in history. The outwardly simplistic mechanics of this singular technique are actually packed full of nuance and elaborate tactical applications.

Some believe that Muay Thai fighters are inherently better suited to Kickboxing than kickboxers. That is simply not true. While many Muay Thai fighters would do very well, one requires mastery of specific traits to adapt successfully. Many of the best kickboxers of all time have successfully fused Muay Thai with Boxing or Karate.

In this module, we explore some of the most important kickboxers and Kickboxing matches of all time.

• Chapter 1: ‘How to Beat Bigger and Taller Opponents with Punches” – Fighting bigger and taller opponents is very different in Kickboxing. In this chapter we examine how to beat the bigger fighter with your punches instead of kicks. 
• Chapter 2: “Shutting Down Great Punchers” – How does one beat a knockout artist? There are specific strategies used by kickers throughout striking history, and this match showcased most of the highest-percentage strategies to do just that.
• Chapter 3: “How to Fight a Legend as a Huge Underdog” – When there's a huge experience and skill contrast, the underdog is not supposed to have a chance. But with the right strategy and tactics, the underdog can turn all that expectation on its head. We take a close look at how this is possible.
• Chapter 4: “How to Transfer Your Weight to Generate Powerful Combinations” – Most people don't know how to shift weight from one strike to another, and therefore never end up stringing together truly great combinations. In this chapter, we’ll chat about how to properly weight shift, and exactly how some of the best Legendary Strikers do/did it. 
• Bonus Content: “Long Guard Misconceptions” – This last chapter puts the long guard on trial, examining the major myths surrounding this distinctive defense.
• #1: Key concepts to evading strikes without being punished. 
• #2: Common defensive counters for the long guard.
• #3: Hand fighting with the long guard.
