Today is Sunday and is our day off from muay thai training. We loaded the truck with the whole Santai Team, and headed to he city to a big waterfall 35minutes away from the gym. Everyone had a great time eating Thai food, swimming, doing flips in the water, jumping through the waterfall, and relaxing after a week of hard training.

When your opponent knee’s you, lift your leg under his or her leg. Lean a little forward and push away to trip him/her down.

(Kru Song & Kru Ton)

Grab the opponents leg and immediately throw a knee with the opposite leg. Remember to keep your free arm in front of you as you are open to elbows or punches if you don´t.

(Kru Song & Soklek)

Teep a kicking opponents support leg. This tecnique requires timing rather than power or speed and totally pauses the kick of your opponent, it also works as a stop to almost any incoming punch or kick if executed right.

Santai is happy to announce 2 new trainers at our gym:

1. New trainer Den-Mo-Gao Soonkidahuaytom. his friends call him Song so Kru Song that is what we will call him too.

Song is 24 years old and just recently retired from the highest level of Muay Thai! He is a Rajadamnern champion at 51kg and of course has a pile of belts from his career. Song’s hometown is Lamphun (same as Kru Phon and Soklek). Song just came back to thailand after a two month job as a Muay Thai instructor in China. As he still is in top-shape (fights sometimes) he will provide awesome sparring in absolute world-class level and he will also be a great sparring partner for our other thai fighters.

Sodasing wins 5-round brawl at Tha Pae! First 3 rounds Soda fought at an even level with his opponent, but had a better clinch. 4th round Soda clearly lost because he was tired, and was almost knocked out in the 5th round. Sodasing still won in the end because he scored major points with his Santai clinch! Sodasing has a great fighting heart.

“Kick Catch and throw”:

A useful way to surprise your opponent when they kick to your body. Don´t forget to take a step away from the kick to take the power off the kick.  Note: this move in not safe when catching low kicks because you will have to reach down to catch it, and this will expose your face.
