Most fighters who want to master Muay Thai have trained for years and still have to consciously decide each strike. Their technique never learned to flow by itself, and the reason is simple: they counted the wrong thing as [...]

"Everything declines after 30" is the line every fighter over 30 has been told. It's wrong, and I can prove it. And that proof starts with two performance curves moving in opposite directions. It comes down to two numbers. [...]

You understand Fight IQ. You know when to push the pace and when to back off. You can gauge distance and read the tempo. You know there's strategy behind the tactics in the ring. Then you walk into the [...]
