Happy Friday and welcome to our second instalment of
MyMuayThai Pad Porn. Today’s clip comes from the
Bad Company Gym in Leeds, England. It’s non-other then
Jordan Watson, working with his trainer Richard Smith. Jordan has been with Richard since he was 6 (21 years). That’s a hell of a long time.
Jordan had his first full rule thai bout, when he was 11 years old in Korat, Thailand! Jordan recalls, “I came back after the first round and said to Richard, ‘that boy hitting me in the face and the ref isn’t stopping him…’ He said, ‘It’s full thai that’s why!’ I was celebrating in round 3 then I came back to corner and he said ‘what you doing you got 2 more!’
‘I also started my wai kru during the national anthem… it couldn’t have gone any worse’”
I believe we are catching them in his 3 or 4th round. He’s about a month away from his bout with Sandy Dahlbeck at Yokkao 12 in Manchester, England.
We’ve also got a couple of mins of play in the video, this is the tame session, apparently in a later session Jordan managed to get his
fake teeth knocked out!
One of the things I love about this clip is it’s simplicity. I often see with people who call out a bunch of shit. 5 or 6 punch and kick combos… keep it simple, straight forward. This round is an example of clean, straight forward basics.
Anyway, happy training!
