    Bad translation at the end. He basically said to master the footwork. He said master when to go in and out, where to put your foot, where to place your weight and that the rest would come automatically. He said that he wanted you guys to change the mindset and that what makes a great fighter is not the ability to throw head kicks and so on… It is the footwork and that is what you should master.

    @jaysnoddonfight979 Před rokem +221

    Rodtang carries a great aura about him when he spars/fights. You can tell. It’s easy to see Shane being hesitant to throw/open up his defence;almost fearful of what is going to come back his way simply because of who he is facing. That is not a knock on you Shane btw. I am pretty confident 90% of us would of been the exact same way sparring the p4p best 60kg Muay Thai fighter in the world lol. Great video!

    It's normally not a good idea to walk through punches in Sparring. Partners hit you light out of respect but your supposed to respect the shot like it was a hard punch, so if you walk through everything, you might do it in a real fight. So I wouldn't normally recommend people do this, but Rodtang is an exception. This man literally does the same thing in real fights. Walks down opponents tanking lunches. Savage.

      I would say it is interesting. If you train for years and get into specific fighting environment then some little sparring every now and then against some top level athletes isn't something that never ever happen. When you just watch fights it may seems these kind of people are as unaccesible as some hollywood celebrities, but they kinda go around you know, they aren't really celebrities they are fighters at the first place, start training hard and regularry and sooner or later you will have your own 5 min to spar someone like Rodtang
