I wanted to spend a little more time with
my father and my father signed up for a gym I had already come from climbing and soccer and
Well, he recommended me he said Hey, look, they are doing a contact sport, this
is already annoying Okay, when he, for example, he hits one hand hits a fist whatever you want
but I can do it from here This is okay I can fall I started to see these wrestlers
compete and the topic of the competition was calling my attention a little and I said [ __ ]
this I could I believe that I see myself capable of getting into a ring I do this which is what does
not usually happen to all of us that we do like this, okay, it is not the same as if I do it like this and Well,
it was a great experience and from there I continue until here I I've been
practicing sports for about 14 years and well I know that it's something I'm going to continue doing
all my life [Music] [ Music] I'm Kevin Martínez I started in sports
when I was about 11 years old and I've already told this a few times I wanted to spend
a little more than time with my father and my father signed up for a gym I came
from climbing and soccer and well, he recommended me he said hey look they are doing
a contact sport in which they wear boxing gloves and they are hitting bags they do combat
and I think This sport may seem interesting to you because martial
arts always attracts my attention.
Well, I tried one day and I loved it
there. I met my coach who is also my current coach who is
Dani Botella and well I immediately fell in love with the sport the weight changes from side to side back forward back forward
back forward press a little on the legs because they are very high it
is very high you have to lower a little the weight is worth the weight a little lower
we do a little a little More sit-ups, well, that's it, you put your hips in and look straight ahead,
that's it, I started practicing the sport first three times a week
and little by little, in a matter of time, I began to r training a little more
until I was already training from Monday to Friday and well I was initially the kid from the gym
the kid from the class I was 12 years old 13 years old when it had been a little longer
when it had been a little longer a routine I took it a little more
seriously turning toe but then when I support there at the moment I have to support it is
support with my foot it's okay if you stay on tiptoe you're [ __ ] freaking out it's okay it costs
a lot I only use the toe to turn ok to be light ok And yes Look
I want to go back I go back to the toe but I step again see if I wanted to control the toe
is to rotate only to rotate I fall from Lefty I take two steps back little
impulse I hit the other leg ok each time with one side I go back one pulse the other leg 1 2 loose 1 2 loose
1 2 loose 1 2 loose together step kick step together step kick ok step together step kick [Music] then you have to fold it ok you have to
stick the heel to the ass I get the fat the one and the other well, I mean, the power of the
knee goes at the last moment, okay I don't take the knee out from here from below at
all [ __ ] it doesn't go relaxed, it goes well directed and at the last moment is when I put the hip in,
okay yes I take it out very strong from the ground, it is very easy for him to stand up,
why? For a step taken due to a displacement that my rival has taken, it is worth it because he has stepped
back a little, the difference between giving and not giving is worth centimeters Okay, it's
very little, so that's why you have to wait at the last moment, I think, to insert your
hip, okay, to be able to correct it.
They are two
different ways to look at one directly at the other.
We are going to give it a step, it is worth the same tiptoe and
inserting the hip another detail when we hit the knee we are going to make sure that the heel
observes when I hit the knee the heel does not turn, this is okay Why Because
Yeah I lose my knee naturally I 'm turning my back Okay when I hit
the knee it turns Okay I'm going to fall to one side if I have here I'm going to fall there I'm going to fall
sideways the foot that stomps on the ground Okay and I don't know deflect ok strong floor ok
And nothing moves with the other nothing moves ok he doesn't have the base he doesn't have to rotate
as with kicking with kicking yes we rotate with the knee not with the knee we go straight
ahead and that's it OK well first knee is this one little step two the second knee
look at this is done from a distance it is usually done with the arms well controlled ok
in laiken's job they tell you that it is to grab the arms and it is to look up and from here I
throw it down okay, maybe that 's a bit strange for you okay, but this
is the most effective knee there is okay, it's the one with which I've pricked rivals the most times
with the other one I'm going to do the same the same gesture I take a little step I lift it from here
in theory I would support it in the pit of the stomach from my rival Ok and I throw it and it's downwards
Ok I'm going to see for a moment so that you can see a bit the difference the knee would be straight
one potato the other and now look when I do it downwards I do this you see I go up and it goes
down I go up and when I support it that's when it goes down with the weight I raise my eye and it goes
down okay this one has a lot more bad temper as I say with much less we do much
more we are going to practice both So we are going to do it this way little step without it rotating
the foot one with the hip little step with the hip little step down little step down okay it may
be that the knee is there he has seen it in a Thai fighter who is called the
supergirl okay she is a Thai and she does it very exaggerated she does it like this okay super exaggerated
the knee the strip like that is okay is that okay the Thais call it ciap they say Sia Okay when they are
making grass body they put it in they say Yes okay that is like the meaning is like
like a knife okay like a deep knife okay let's go with them two worth one a little step two
a descending little step not descending and it was like everything else was they were 20 or 30
years old some were veteran fighters I was lucky because at that time in my team
the Moi Kombat was a great team a very strong team a very highly respected team
in all of Spain and of course Well, thanks to Dani, Yaco, Pratt, Arturo Ayala, Javier
Gil, a lot of people who were there at that time, well, I evolved very quickly [Music], relaxed, that's okay, you see, and with the other one, very
well, take out the heel.
Look so that Look, it's okay, the difference between when it has cut us,
look, look, you don't see the heel here, you're not seeing it. Look, if I
take it out. Okay, when I take it out, the heel shows the
heel. but it has another one, it has another direction but the knee sticks out
the heel There it is, you see, the heel is okay again, that's very good and now ascending, you
raise it as it is here is when I lower it Look, this would be normal, okay And this is so
excellent lens you see bread downwards an ax blow Ah that's that it's very well taken care of the foot has seen
that you dance a little stomp hard stomp you think that the base is worth If you're not
glued to the ground a little heel There it is that is detailed
It's worth looking at it Ah, that's careful, it deviates a little when
removing the heel, okay, but it gives you another intention, take care of the foot, I support you so that it doesn't rotate, it doesn't rotate
well.
I hit
straight down straight I go up down I go down okay you have to do like down and of course it
was a matter of time when I started to see these wrestlers compete and
the topic of the competition caught my attention a little and I said [ __ ] This could I think
that I see myself capable of getting into a ring downwards and repeat it is a straight lunge it is
a lunge the other is deep downwards it comes out very naturally to you it is different from one to the other of the one that
goes towards below it is worth taking out the two e s down very well pull a little higher eh
careful to the egg no and here here here here that's Oh That's very high I'll push you you get
unbalanced separate your feet separate your feet You don't get unbalanced you have a better base it's okay
to hit harder hits And I have the weight distributed If I have the weight together when
I hit I'm unbalanced, okay let's go with that good very good very good guys take out a little heel a little heel on the
outside a little heel on the outside let the heel be seen that when it touches my hip Pop heel strike
on the outside El Pique does not rotate the foot that rotates us stomps stomps hard and the piano rotates
with control it costs a lot it costs a lot That is why I have named it before because it is a
very voluntary thing Ok I have to think about it a lot I have to think not I rotated my foot
that I didn't rotate my foot because at first it gives me a lot of respect but as soon as I saw
that I could train with professional wrestlers, well, I think I think it might be that I'm
capable and I already tried it I decided to try fight here on the road in the gum where
we are right now my first fight and everything turned out great I won on points And
well it was a great experience from there I'm still here it has taken me I've been
practicing the sport for about 14 years now and well I know that it is something that I am going to
continue doing all my life [Music] very simple details Look, the compañero
is going to close the juditos okay because we are going to practice well two different potatoes well
one we are going to work on it as a punctuation work and another okay to keep the
score okay it would be a normal kick we are not going to put the hip in too much okay
because if I put the hip in too much I am going to unbalance okay Yes we are going to cause
more damage to our opponent but what I want is okay is to have more control okay than
another thing then I turn the hip a little bit, the hip would be very exaggerated.
ue dodge or because he grabs me or whatever Ok my position It would be
much worse Ok then we are going to do a kick a little more relaxed as
punctuation style ok I do this you see directly very relaxed very relaxed I put the weight at
the last moment like with the knee okay, the leg is relaxed and at the last moment
is when I put the weight on it, you see I put the weight on it at the last moment Job, okay, you see him
and that will bother him a little because of the other leg, let's do it well exaggerated,
okay because it comes out in a natural way this is okay I don't want that kick I want to do the Step
okay I think we'll exaggerate it I'll step here relaxed and at the last moment I put my hip in the same
okay Esther and I put weight Steve and I put weight well Let's do two kicks as I say one
two control you see control I'm going behind with the other leg, well done, I touch second control,
okay, you see the left hand forward, okay, the knee passes the hip on one side and the
foot on the other, okay, it acts as a barrier on the other side, even Let's see, he touched control,
the knee went outside and the heel insteps here if the knee doesn't go outside and stays
here He could kick directly to the head.
We are going to do it with the fluid partner right
and then left so one two I go behind one two it's okay in the first one if we can give it
a little weight but as I said at the last moment Okay and control in the closest is
next month on On February 14, I fight in San Vicente del Raspace, they do a muay thai, a muay tgp,
a Grand Prix mute, which is the second edition they do here in Spain, and I face
an English fighter, nothing is 100% muay thai, that is, it is 5 rounds.
3 minutes without elbow pads
and he's a great rival So I'm preparing hard to put on a good show [Music] that's ok look at the hand Put it in front
don't leave it here ok because then he could hit Pam Pam ok I put it here
ok this already bothers Val and when he, for example, hits one hand, hits a fist whatever you want,
but I can do it from here. This is okay, I can fall, okay, or hit the other hand, okay. I
can enter Melee, okay, but if I put my hand here, okay, no It's my turn to
raise my hand to grab myself This is to have access as soon as you stretch out a hand
I'm going to grab right away and I'm going to enter the Melee okay to have
quick availability of the vanguard is controlling okay Don't lose sight
that no your gaze goes away Stay in front okay okay looking and the little hand in front
to have access later to Melee one with weight and the other look into the
eyes okay Let's go there [Music] very good Spend a little more hip it is worth it to be completely
past that it does not stay here Oh That is a very good one that is we go to the right very
well and it is a little lower support a moment that there is a moment of pause it is worth
one and two pause is one and pause is worth a there moment of control one is that and two and there you
lack a little hip Look Pull me to the left look flex a little turn your
foot turn your foot there Yes okay So you have control okay There yes it
stays here you see how I say I can kick you have to pass the hip completely one That is a little more you still need a
little support foot to do this hit a heel okay And she puts her heel in front of
her that is that is now yes well one of the guard okay do this is okay
the man stays ahead look at the back stays ahead okay it's like I change half
Guard is this I do one you see from here is when I brake there turn hit the two on the
arm because you are hitting the body and you on the arm okay we close the jews we
hit there you might as well close your elbows that's a little close there it's okay so
you can see the arm and the other for the body [Music] it's not a normal guard posture
it's more than anything to accommodate the kick of the compañero ok I shoot here I touch there
ok The next one is for supporting me Because if I stick out my elbows or force him to hit your
elbow or ribs, it's okay And I accommodate that, it's okay, I put it in this area so that he kicks this
area and doesn't get hurt, it's okay, I touch there in some of us we do damage and the other to control
That is because the hand goes up so that when it falls it can catch you if the hand goes down
you stick with your hand up turning toe but then when I support There is a moment in which
I have to support it is support with the foot it's okay if it fits you on tiptoes you're bitching
that you freak out okay it costs a lot I use the lace just to turn it's okay to be
light okay And yes Look I want to go back I go back to the lace but I step again see if I wanted to
control the lace it's to rotate just to rotate well Now look We are going to do a guinea pig in a
moment we are going to do a Mixed Melee Grasp ready
ok like in it would be to grab the arms this is the ikene grab the arms from the outside or
inside ok he would now be for d I go in because it's closer to my head I'm on the
outside okay because I'm further away to pass inside I would do this move and you
look on the outside okay This way he controls my elbows so I can't hit him
and I control his so I don't can hit me okay mixed grip as I am
saying how is a hand inside to the head another hand to the arm either on the outside or inside
or outside here it would be on the outside here it would be on the inside it doesn't matter now I don't care
well the partner would do the same a hand to the head a hand to the arm
okay then look from here I raise my arm a little bit okay I'm going to work both
knees look I'm here with my feet when we get into Melee ok in
Melee position the feet always parallel if I have one leg forward it will sweep me it's
okay to do it like this okay And this leg is going to open it's okay feet always parallel it's okay one in
front of the other well I raise a little look at the knee we're going to kick ar two an open
punctuation you are using a lot to punctuate the exaggerate the Thais a lot
For what for that for how to exhibit it a little to say Hey here goes the knee a whole
roller okay if I do this which is what does not usually happen to everyone that We do it like this, okay, it
's not the same as if I do it like that, that detail is okay, as I say, you do it like
a scorpion, you take your heel back, I open it, okay, that for the referee is like a
leftover, okay, yes.
Imagine that he's doing that to me with his knees and me every time
he throws a knee like this I do like this okay the judge says he is working
harder eh this knee looks much better this knee is more spectacular okay Now the detail
that okay makes the judges value above For power, it also sounds fine, as it has
a little more travel, you can give it a little more intention. So we are going
to work the hand well inside another head, well this knee one and the second descending,
I raise the pit of the stomach. I go and look at what I do with this hand that I have resting on
his head I push and with my hip I bring you see what happens the head is lowered this is
also valid for the judges it is seen a lot it is seen a lot so a circular we are going to
hit with this eh But be careful that we inadvertently hit the knee and do more damage let's
go with this Okay then from here I raise one two and one descending Okay now
he would do it on this side that he has controlled raise one that's it and now I go up to the pit of my stomach
and It's my turn, you see, now look at this hand that I have
here on my arm, this one that I have here on my arm, okay, we have a mixed grip, it's
the same, but on the other hand, okay, now I control this arm, I raise it a little, look, we observe
the detail behind, okay, like If I hit a heel as if I hit something from behind,
I open my knee on the floor, parallel, I raise it.
Okay, and hips inside, okay, partner, raise your
arm a little here, that's it, raise your arm there, that's the back knee, I touch the ground
descending. ok fluent work ok how would it be fluent and I'm gripped ok from here
I lift one one two pop now he lifts 1 2 I put one arm to the head he puts his
other arm to the head I control the arm control hug ok I lift and parallel knees
he lifts parallel pop that's arm arm I control 1 2 that's inside inside loop back 1 and 2
1 and 2 okay the fluid work eh back knee downward parallel the same the partner
put one arm to the head Another hug body and descending okay Now one Imagine
you are here ok we are going to work on this ok because you have to control this ok
I hit the circular knee taking the back one taking it back Look at the back I open it floor floor I go up descending and with this arm I go
deep ok Sledgehammer here very well I would touch you to you on the side that you have control,
always the arm is okay There you have to be strong the legs are strong one and up okay And it
is backwards okay if you are in a posture like this like this knee in the face look at it scare okay After taking the photo, you wake up
at home with your head up, head up, you see, I can't get here from here anymore, I'm
seeing death, head up, grab your arm Because look from here you can't control
here, here, with your arm bone here to the forearm There you control you see okay Don't
ever go the shoulder out okay because yes now yes Well if you go to the shoulder look
what I do you would have to go here okay if I go here but the elbow I don't stop it is I go
here I go to the elbow different well here from behind parallel equal knee parallel parallel
back because if not ruin okay again back goes parallel eh parallel parallel is one in front of
the other look so and see where it falls okay back parallel parallel the foot that lands on
your right foot okay when it falls that it doesn't fall back ok I don't do this ok I don't do a
parallel one ok [Music] one open one open floor There it
is very good hip that's worth an ISO Don't take back
direct very direct Look how I do it Look I do one to see it I don't carried or back to go
back to me that is, the only thing to go back that I like to do is okay is with a push which
is the one that you have been doing for a long time to also score that they are grabbed and they do this they
do that this unbalance they do to you This is okay It 's not that they don't It's that they're going to enter, it's
that they throw at you, but I don't do it because he directly hits you,
you're giving him space, okay, but if I unbalance him, I put that on, that's
something else, he can't, he can't do anything like that at that moment.
I know I can't do anything
Ah but if you go on your patrol directly but if I push you and you go like this I push the knee
and Boom I bring when you grab arms here I command Okay now come Here we are going to dance
we are going to be a dance partner okay let's hold on tight okay I grab one side, grab the other,
whoever tries to get out as they can is okay by pushing or whatever we go back in Okay and we play
with that very smoothly okay just so there's a little bit of resistance there's a little bit
of notion of Melee game okay okay you You will realize that as you play,
you are more and more alert, it is worth, each time you are a little more like that, to that work, it is
worth, this is a work that should be used above all, it is worth before a fight, before
before an important fight, above all, now there is to do it because it activates you okay
you have that mind awake in that aspect of action reaction all the time
okay you are able to react to everything and at a high speed fine Now let's go to work
The same thing we are doing but now he is more handsome because we do both crossbows
we do both crossbows So none of them stays Okay then I knock he must come out he comes
to touch me I have to come out and we must be in a little while we must be
at the end coordination should be seen when I come in he must come out back vascular back
or when he comes, I have to get out from behind
use only the legs, well, we are going to start doing reaction work like
what we are doing with our hands, okay But now it will be with the legs, well, we are going
to work only to start in the middle, well, come closer for a moment and see when we work
with the lead leg obligatory we are going to do the Step ok I don't want this kick ok
this kicks guy kick boxing taekwondo And we are not going to use that I want us to do
the Step ok well send one means one is the one who starts and starts when he wants ok means
Imagine that I start you just answer Okay until I hit you you
can't hit me let's kick to the middle okay from right to left we close the guard
shoot you throw The one you want okay see I 'm here I can move or You answer
quickly okay follow me okay that game guys that game that's what
he reacted to he has to be very attentive to fit and answer fit and answer I don't care
if he returns me by the same side or by the one do contrary only to the medium only to the medium
controlling El Paso okay guys the weight is this passenger I exaggerate that gives you a lot of strength eh So that you
have to force it you have to force a lot that is that there are pauses eh that is that in pauses
so that there is uncertainty that I don't know when I 'm going that I don't know when I'm going halfway through I think I
'll hit that you hurt yourself or anything that now works the reaction the partner
was first one with starting and the other responding Well now the other way around waiting as
I say try to work the moment of uncertainty also it is worth not knowing
when I am going not knowing when I am going I can push him I can make him come okay if
I go back he has to follow me okay we can work that that is not automatic all the time
one two one two one two one two it's worth there being a moment there when I
just move to him and he already has to focus and maybe the kick doesn't work out for him.
So
then we can work a little on that v Alright, ok, imagine your job, your
job is, you hit it, you return it quickly, that's it, it hits it, it hits it, it hits it, it hits it, [ Applause] [Applause] Okay, that game [Music] is going to start.
We can kick to the middle or down
to the legs, it's also worth the hikiki. I don't want us to leave so that we don't want us to not
carry any surprises, none of them. Well, I want the locking to differentiate well,
okay from the middle. When it comes to hitting the
loki I want us to do it without doing damage. The most important thing with a parenthesis this
big is okay without hurting the partner okay but doing the technique okay as if
we were going to put a very strong block okay how is this he is going to fit he's only going
to fit when I go to work the loki I want us to take off a little jump bread ok
as if we were going to hit very hard ok I can hit ok or the forward or inside
coming out as you see something good Ok or the back leg Ok when I hit the back leg I
have to stretch my leg a little more
straighter as if it were a stick I take it out like this to hit the line
because many times now it has It could happen that you hit the lower parts, it's okay when
you hit this kick here it's okay Why is it okay because the middle is here we cross here in the middle
if I flex it okay I can hit both legs but if the height goes a little bit it
hit him okay in the area So, what do I do? I make it straighter.
You see
the leg straighter and it hits the cup directly.
a lot and they had never explained it to me, it's okay with the
straight leg I'll hit the weighted one, this one does a lot of damage. or a little
jump okay from the middle in which I grow okay And I stand on tiptoe Okay then I start
he just has to return okay Put on guard start returns quick quick okay you see the same roll changing heights
half down half down and now be careful with the weight no get hurt come in eh the answers okay with kicking a lot kicking
well Now look one is going to work let's do a more mixed work now one is going to
hit hands the other is going to respond all the time with legs okay let's change it completely
So in One moment, good, to each hand that I throw, he answers one leg, whichever one he wants, okay, he
can go down to the middle, okay, hand shot, okay, the one who starts will be the one
with the hands, okay, the other has to fit well and respond, fit well and respond
Let's take short pauses, hands are okay as I can.
At the end there is a moment
in which I'm as if I were countering him instead of starting me. Because if I start
and stop if I start and he hits and stops okay it's the same I start the hit start hits me
But if I continue It's as if I answered Pam pum pum pum you see there is a counter there so
he has to be very attentive with his little hands and answer everything only hands well This is going to
be a little similar to what we have done before with the crossbows ok we should stay
a little bit with this roll of hitting out hitting out hitting out a start the same okay
come on for a little while one is starting means imagine I start with my guard up
or the Answer quick answer quick
okay let 's go with that hit answer hit answer
don't make me a crossbow okay I want us to stay Now I want us to lock hands
and answer we don't hit too hard either eh more than anything I want it to flow [Music] [Music] [Music]
