In this episode of MMA Athlete Day to Day, I sparring Glory Kickboxer! During my time at Khongsittha in Bangkok Thailand, I was lucky to meet Asa Ten Pow, who is 10-0 in his professional Kickboxing career. In this video, I show you 5 rounds of our sparring!

Here is a highlight of my week in Bangkok, Thailand! I stayed at the Kiathada House & Resort, while training at a gym called Khongsittha Muay Thai. I got to spar the best in Muay Thai, watch live fights, eat cheap food (including a scorpion), enjoy cheap massages, party, and see breath taking temples)!

I am here at Khongsittha Muay Thai, one of my personal favourite gyms in Bangkok, Thailand. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to spar with two of the Thai fighters/instructors here. One of them, 42 years of age with 145 fights and the other with over 200 fights. Obviously, both of them gave me a good beating! If you ever visit Bangkok, I recommend you visit this gym!

Today I show you 6 of my favourite back takes in BJJ. Keep in mind that some techniques can be applied in MMA, but most of them are best used in pure grappling!
