Control Kickboxing

Been quiet most of 2020 but I've been working. Hardly any strikes as they aren't what matters. This was the only bit of work that was IG appropriate. The rest was too 'boring' #happynewyear #boxingcoach #boxinglife

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Same Christmas post for 5 years straight #yourewelcome #merrychristmas

I was able to learn from the best in 2020. Thank you @paulomiyao #honored oss #bjj #studio1908 #jiujitsu

Been a while y'all. Hope everyone's staying safe and healthy. I can't wait to train with everyone again but am staying busy teaching via @boringbreakdowns in the meantime. Ps. The kick is NOT what's important in this . __ #muaythaicoach #boxingcoach #mmacoach #kickboxingcoach #thaiboxer #boring

People been asking me for a quarantine workout. Short answer: no BUT I could post an online mini-seminar if y'all wanna learn. This is NOT a workout as I dont run online workouts that'd amount to glorified tae-bo. It's only for those who want to apply some of the principles discussed in @boringbreakdowns IF y'all would like this, please comment below or DM. FYI, this is completely free. Spend your on

@d_lanzetta was my student when he was in high school. He's now a grown man and a kickboxing coach himself. I'd say how proud of him I am but he's tagged in in this post so he

"P, you never post your own padwork."

I add the same post every year on Christmas day #givethepeoplewhattheywant ___ Whatever you celebrate this time of year, much to you

came out from @rich_james and @britt_tiny16 wedding a couple months ago. Surprisingly enough, they're still together @ The Thayer Hotel at West Point

@tklifeingrey may look clean on pads but he wears Crocs

SF is representing in NYC. Educating the lead hand of the homie Kyle

Exposed @breannaschroeck to her first class in human chess under the G @roothchild @masterskyabrooklyn

What am I working on here?

What am I working on here?

Brb. Getting turned into a right quick ___ Much to my brother @roothchild for the teaching a class and taking the time for matches with me @masterskyabrooklyn

When someone travels almost 7,000 miles to train with you ___ The homie @ronibar_ has been following all the way from She visited NYC this past weekend and got in on a session. We talk about the training being one big fam and I got to feel that this past weekend. Much to Roni and all my homies overseas for the support

@carxann never trained before. In less than an he, she looked like this

Got humbled on the mays by @alexmasterskya yesterday. Check out he's changing the NYC BJJ community ___ Alex and the @masterskyabrooklyn crew have made jiu jitsu accessible via their donation based program. On top of that, you get high level instruction from seasoned competitors. Go support these guys who are helping the regular folks like us!

Sad news but please read: My good friends at @8limbsacademy just had their entire gym burn down due to a fire below them. They are rebuilding from scratch, running classes out of rented spaces and even outside in parks. Their GoFundMe has already surpassed its goal but if you know anything about running a gym, these are probably only initial expenses. THIS WEEKEND ONLY: I will be heavily discounting all private training sessions. All sessions will be $50 (or more if you choos...e). 100% will go to help my friends rebuild their life. Privates will be run in Central Park so I don't have to take money from the cost to pay for space rental. 4 slots on Saturday and 4 on Sunday are first-come first-served. These guys have shown me love and hospitality every time I've trained with them and are staples of the Muay Thai community. Even if you can't train this weekend, please consider donating on their GoFundMe (linked in their IG). Also, please share this with anyone interested. We all talk about supporting small business, well this is our chance. Let's help get our friends out of these tough times! @ Central Park

@sweetsym0ne looked too for her 3rd session. the stories to see her taken down a peg

Basics __ Inspired by my brother @coachmicahb ( his post on setting up a hopping low kick from a teep feint.) Teep feint - jab - right middle kick.

Weekend wood choppin __ : @hardbodyboat

First 5 seconds of this was our focus of the session. Ugly defense --- my guy

Breaking with geniuses --- @pancho_otero13 is raising his fighters right. Keep up that work Coach!

Sat down with @museummammy after training and had the most refreshing convo. She explained how she didn't want to just jump into any old classes without learning technique first

I'm so hyped I'm bout to start singing that @linkinpark song that starts w percentages. If yall need me, I'll be at the grand opening of @jtwfit

Show me someone who can look this clean after only 2 HRS of training. Go ahead. I'll wait. ___ : @caileespaeny

@ellieburrows had no prior experience. to see what's possible in 1 hr ___ While you're at it, go check out Ellie and her crew @mndflmeditation If you deal with the stressful NYC life, chances are you need it!

1 spiked seltzer in... #brittgetsrich

If yall need me, I'll be sending my son @rich_james off to spend the rest of his life with @britt_tiny16

@caileespaeny ( the last post) talked up her bf @raychamjr skills a ton yesterday and she still didnt do him justice. My man bas crowbars for shins

@caileespaeny came by to learn the game and this is what happened... --- This is her first time with a technical structure That post look says it all

Burpees and jumpsquats would've gotten in the way of this technical development. @denisebidot "shouldn't" look this good after just one session and it's all thanks to her willing to get that --- Show some downstairs!

Throwing back to the first training crew I came up with in Philly. Swipe to see or reunion from last weekend. --- Be warned. Most of us got fatter/uglier. Im not gonna say no names so I'll just tag them... @thomas_boss_bailey @ Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

No needed. Just letting the legs whip

@rhearaj has never trained kickboxing before this #ripleysbelieveitornot

I got to train with legends of the game yesterday

Firm believer that an angel gets its wings ripped off anytime somebody hashtags "inspo" or any derivative of it. That said... @tjthethinkingman insp***d me to work on the teep from his earlier post

Sorry y'all. Dont think I've trained with anyone who's got a cuter IG than @drlisalippman

Unfortunately @apetrullo couldnt resist making this about her. till the end

@lindzmetz hustling till she drop! Ladies, her @wemetatacme for dating advice

Put in the work to chase your dreams...Always wondered how the hipsters kept their bike locks from swinging. Figured it out this weekend after a quick google search

Bulletproofing Combinations (Breakdown ) Bag work doesn't need to be complex. Here I use 1 combination and attach multiple followups. This is step 1 to bulletproofing combinations, making a basic pattern functional at high levels: 1. Jab - Cross - Body Shot - Cross (base)... 2. Base + Right Kick 3. Base + Left Kick 4. Base + Body Shot See more

RIP #SweetPea Breaking down the crouching pivot in honor of our fallen legend Pernell Whitaker

Wish my hip could unhinge from the rest of my body on kicks like when I was 12 ---- Kick catches with the young homie Parker

I've seen hipsters take in front of unfinished wood and had my chance 2 weeks ago. Just need super tight pants and prescription looking glasses even tho I'm 20/20.

If you watched my stories, I lied. @justina.justina is on the mitts --- her out on @grandhotelabc on @hulu

How many sessions did it take for @britt_tiny16 to get this clean? ---- Keep in mind: She's a VERY slow learner but has a great coach

How to deal with @jonnybones stomp kick a la @tmarretamma

NYC need to stop playing and get on the @wawa train #JustSaying

Never been stabbed in the hip before but if I had to guess, I'd imagine it feeling like this

Well I look adorable in this one. Everyone else looks like they hopefully at least have nice personalities...hopefully ---- Many thanks to the homie Coach Shane who's responsible for my hips looking so cute this morning from all them sidekicks. It was great to see you again and meet the bts G of FIGHTTIPS @mariefazen Much to you kids!

"On the road to anywhere" "Nothing on my horizon except everything." --- Couldn't decide...thoughts?

Scroll to see what country this smoking beefcake is from... HINT: It starts with an 'I' . . . .... . Answer: India. And he's training with @theirish_yank ---- There was only 10 min of training before this . Working on a foundational 1-2 and moving when an aggressive opponent (bag) advances See more

Kickboxing that's NOT Muay Thai.notice any differences? ---- If you didn't see the last , you'd think the sidekicks in this kickboxing (and NOT Muay Thai) are good enough. Be careful to not smooth over errors with speed. I lost mobility after no kicking for so long due to injury. Now that I'm back, I'm forcing myself to go thru the annoying mechanics for a clean sidekick.
