Combat Muay Thai 3 - Fitness and Self Defense

Customer Review: some tips on strikes, basic conditioning, simple plyometrics
This is probably the weakest of the 3 tape series by the "Sleeper". Walter does show some basic conditioning exercises which include plyometric jumps on and off the ring platform, skip knees using the ropes, uphill windsprints, dumbell incline presses, push presses, and some neck exercises without weights (no bridges). He also gives an overview of the basic thai strikes. He gives very little explanation of the mechanics/technical aspects of the strikes. It would be better assumed you are at intermediate level knowing the basics and how to throw them effectively. Some interesting tips Ive never seen before about the switch kick and teep. This aspect of thai training is where Walter's strength lies and which he would be able to exploit into more videos. It is clear he is very knowledgeable in muay thai and has trained awhile in thailand. I wish he would produce more with that theme. His sleeper machine is using the cable crossovers in a way to strengthen the thai plumb and knee strikes. I havent seen this before or the tips on striking techniques using the switch kick and teep. it made up for the weaker parts of the tape. By far, the weakest part of the tape was the self-defense drills. there were 6-7 techniques consisting of parrying a punch to an elbow, knee, and continuing into a wristlock (gooseneck) or a chicken wing/hammlerlock. I wished he filled this part of the tape with more tips on striking and movement. If I could do it over again I would buy his tapes in this order: tape 2 (a must), tape 1 (which shows him doing some conditioning and footage of him kicking and elbowing heavybags full of sand)- the attitude conveyed here alone is worth the tape price, and finally tape 3 is a question mark. If you arent familiar with conditioning exercises mentioned above you might want to buy it if you have the spare cash... More Information
