What's up guys!

I wanted to shoot a little video. I'm sorry I've been busy traveling and haven't created much content recently. I just got back from Karate Combat, and I can't wait to share my experience with you all.

The Cancun Adventure

Cornering Saba

I was in Mexico, Cancun, or close to Cancun, and had an amazing experience. I was cornering my fighter Saba. She's a 115-pound girl fighter, a Koka-sh karate black belt, and an exceptional athlete. She took the call on just two weeks' notice, went in there, followed our game plan, and delivered an incredible performance. She fought like a true warrior and listened to everything I said, and it worked out perfectly.

The Fight Breakdown

Saba was landing plenty of boxing shots, using her hands with precision. She also threw a lot of calf kicks and attempted some spinning attacks. Everything we had focused on and drilled consistently, she executed flawlessly. As a coach, it was immensely satisfying to see her apply the techniques we've worked on in such a high-level competition.

Coaching Success

It's always a great feeling when you coach someone, and you see the techniques you've shown them working in fights. Saba was fighting in her Karate Combat debut, and she won every round, earning a decision victory. Personally, I think she's on track to fight for a world title soon because I don't see many girls in the division being able to beat her.

Other Fights at Karate Combat

Sa Moi's Fight

The main event was Sa Moi's fight, and what a fight it was! He went up against a former UFC fighter from Brazil, an incredible athlete with phenomenal technique, power, speed, and athleticism. Sa Moi was dominating the fight with well-placed calf kicks, strong front kicks, and a few body kicks that hurt his opponent. However, the fight ended in a controversial decision due to a clash of heads that initially appeared to be a knockout.

Other Highlights

The event was packed with amazing fights, with several knockouts making it an exciting night. The venue itself was one of the coolest places I've ever seen anyone fight at—right on the beach. You could literally throw a rock and hit the water. The whole island experience felt like something out of Mortal Kombat.

Wrapping Up

Just wanted to catch you up to speed on what I've been doing lately. If you have any questions on any techniques or topics you'd like me to discuss, feel free to let me know. I should be getting my microphone set up very soon, and then I can get back to producing real content.

Thank you, guys. I appreciate the support. If there's anything specific you want me to talk about, don't hesitate to reach out. Karate Combat in Cancun was an amazing event, and I hope you all check it out on YouTube. Saba's fight was the fourth one on the card, and it’s definitely worth watching.

Stay tuned for more updates and content!
