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 time with my father and my father signed up for a gym.
I had just come
from climbing and soccer and well, he recommended me, he told me, hey, look, they are doing
a contact sport in which they wear boxing gloves and are Hitting the bag they do combat
and I think that this sport may seem interesting to you because martial
arts always attracts my attention. Well, I tried it 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 shifts from side to side, back, forward, back,
forward, back, press the legs a little because they are very high, they are
very high, you have to lower a little, the weight is worth the weight a little
We do a little bit more sitting down, 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 started training a little more
Until I trained from Monday to Friday and well, at first I was the kid in the gym,
the kid in the class, I was 12 years old, 13 years old, when it took a little
longer, when I already had a routine a little bit, I took it a little more
seriously turning on the toe but then when I support there at the moment I have to support it is
support with the foot it's okay if you stay on tiptoe you're screwing yourself that you freak out it's worth it costs
a lot I only use the toe to turn it's okay to be light okay And yes Look
I want to go back I go back to the toenail but I step again see if I wanted to control the toenail
it's to rotate just to rotate I fall from Zurdo I take two steps back small
impulse I hit the other leg okay every time with one side I go back one press 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 take out the gordilla over and over well I mean the power of the
knee goes at the last moment it's okay I do n't take the knee out from below from below
at all [ __ ] it's not relaxed it goes well directed and at the last moment is when I put the hip in it's
okay if I take it out very hard starting 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 taking is centimeters, it is worth
very little, so that is why Waiting at the last moment, I think, to insert the
hip is fine to be able to correct it.
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 try that the heel
observes when I hit the knee the heel does not turn, this is okay Why Because
if I miss the knee naturally it will I'm turning my back Okay when I hit
the knee it turns Okay I'm going to fall on 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 that it doesn't deviate okay strong floor okay
And I don't know move nothing with the other nothing moves okay it doesn't have the base it doesn't have to rotate
as with the kick with the kick yes we rotate with the knee not with the knee we go straight
ahead and that's it okay first knee is this one little step two the second knee
to look at this is done from a distance it is usually done with the arms well controlled okay
in laiken's work they tell him that it is to grab the arms and it is to look up and from here I
throw it downwards okay it is better that way It's been a bit strange, 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 small step, I lift it from here,
in theory, I would support it on my mouth.
from my rival's stomach Ok and I throw it and it's downwards
Ok I'm going to see for a moment so 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 go up and it goes
down okay this one has a lot more bad mood 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 Rotate
the foot one with the hip, step with the hip, step down, step down, okay, it could
be that the knee is there, they have seen it in a Thai wrestler who is called the
supergirl, okay, she is Thai and she does it very exaggerated, she does it like that, okay, super exaggerated.
the knee is pulled like that 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 it's like the meaning is like
like a knife okay like a deep knife okay let's go with them two okay one little step two
one 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 highly respected team
throughout 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 you can see, it's worth the difference. between when it has cut us look
look here you don't see the heel are you not seeing it Look if I take it out Okay when I
take it out the heel you can see the heel you see this little gesture the knee is going to deviate
a little a little okay but it has another one it has another direction but the knee sticks out
the heel There it is you see okay the heel again there it is that's very good and now ascending you
raise them as it is here is when I lower it Look this would be normal okay And this is so
excellent you see pan down an ax Ah, that's it, that's very well taken care of, the foot has seen
that it dances a little, stomp hard, stomp hard, you think the base is worth it.
be careful that it deviates a little
when removing the heel it's okay but it gives it another intention take care of the foot I support you so that it doesn't rotate it doesn't rotate
well be straight okay descending ax and when it's up down up down I go up and hit down straight straight I go
up down I go up down okay you have to do like down and of course it
was a matter of time in which I already started to see these fighters compete and
the subject of the competition was calling my attention a little and I said [ __ ] this could
I I think 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, the difference is one is worth the other, the one that
goes downwards is worth taking out both is towards down very well shoot a little higher eh
beware 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 worth
hitting harder hits and I have the weight distributed If I have the weight together when
I hit I get unbalanced, that's it, 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 on
out 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 that I do not rotate the foot
that does not rotate the foot because at first it gives me a lot of respect but as soon as I saw
that I could train with professional wrestlers, I say I think it may be that I am
capable and I already tried I decided to try fighting 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 then on I'm still here it has taken me I've been
practicing the sport for about 14 years and well I know it's something I'm 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 two different potatoes well
one we are going to work on it as a punctuation work and another is okay to keep the
punctuation okay it would be one normal kick we are not going to put the hip in too much it's okay
because if I put the hip in too much I'm going to lose balance 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
something else then I turn the hip a little very The hip would be exaggerated.
This is fine.
From here, I can move him, but in the event that I go wrong, because he
takes a step back because he dodges or because he grabs me or whatever. My position is fine. It would be
much worse. Okay, then let's go. to do a kick a little more relaxed like
punctuation style okay I do this directly you see very relaxed very relaxed I put the weight in at
the last moment like with the knee okay the leg is relaxed and at the last moment
is when I put the weight you see I put the weight at the last moment Job is ok you see him
and that is going to bother him a little on the other leg we are going to do it well exaggerated
ok because it comes out naturally this is ok I don't want that kick I want to do the Step
ok I think we will exaggerate it step here relaxed and at the last moment I put my hip in the same way,
okay Esther and I put weight Steve and I put weight well We are going to do two kicks as I say one
two control you see control I go back with the other leg this 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, it acts as a barrier on the other side so that you can see,
the knee passed outside and the heel touched the instep here if the knee does not pass outside and remains
here He I could kick directly to the head you see if the knee I have it here
is already braked Okay that way it can't well Let's do it with the fluid partner right
and then left so one two I go behind one two okay in the first if we can give him
a a little bit of weight but as I said at the last moment Ok and control as soon as possible is
next month on February 14th I fight in San Vicente del raspace they do a muay thai a muay tgp
a Grand Prix mute which is the second edition What do they do here in Spain and I'm facing
an English fighter nothing is 100% muay thai that is, it's a 5 round of 3 minutes without elbow pads
and he's a great rival So I'm preparing hard to give a good show [Music] that's okay look at the hand Put it in front do
n't leave it here okay because then he could hit Pam Pam okay I put it here
okay this is already annoying Okay when he for example he hits a hand hits a fist whatever you want
but from here I can already do This okay I can fall okay or hit the other hand okay I
can enter the Melee okay But if I put my hand here okay I don't have to
raise my hand to grab 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 it's okay to have
quick availability of the vanguard is controlling it's okay Don't lose your gaze
so you don't lose your gaze Stay in front okay okay looking and the little hand in front
to have access to the Melee later one with weight and the other you look into the
eyes okay Let's go there [Music] very well Pass the hip a little more it is worth it to be completely
past that it does not stay here Oh That is a great one that is we go to the right very
well and it is a little lower support for a moment that there is a moment of pause it is worth
one and two pause is one and pause is worth a moment there control one is that and two and there you
lack a little hip Look Pull me to the left look flex Turn your foot a little bit,
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's a little more, your foot is still a
little missing As a support to do this, she hits a heel ok And she puts her heel in front
of her that's it that's now yes well one of the guard ok you do this ok
the man stays forward look at the back stays forward ok it's like I change half
Guard is this I do one time 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 anyway okay close the elbows that's a little stuck there okay so
you can see the arm and the other one for the body [Music] it's for it's not a normal guard posture
it's more than anything to accommodate the partner's kick okay I shoot here I touch there
okay the next one is for supporting me Because if I stick out my elbows or you force him to hit you on the
elbow or on the ribs okay And I accommodate it okay I put it in this area so that he kicks this
area and does not hurt himself okay I touch there in some 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 your hand goes down
you stick your hand up turning on tiptoe but then when I support There is a moment in which
I have to support it is support with my foot okay if you stay on tiptoe you're bitching
that you freak out worth it costs a lots I use the lace just to turn it's okay to be
light okay And yes Look I want to go back to the lace but I step on it again see if I wanted to
control the lace it's to rotate just to rotate well Now look let's do it in a
little bit of rabbit Indians we are going to do a Mixed Melee grab ready
okay like in it would be grabbing the arms this is the ikene grabbing the arms on the outside or
on the inside okay he would now be on the inside 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 ok This way he controls my elbows so I can't hit him
and I control his so he can't hit me ok ok mixed grip like I'm
saying what a hand is like inside to the head another hand to the arm either on the outside or on the 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
fine the partner would do the same a hand to the head a hand to the arm
okay so look from here I raise my arm a little okay I'm going to work on both
knees look I'm here with my feet when we get into Body To Body it's okay in
Body To Body posture 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 up okay feet always parallel okay one in
front of the other okay lift a little look at the knee we're going to get two open
score you're using a lot to score the exaggerate the Thais a lot Why why why
to show it off a bit to say Hey, here goes the knee,
a whole knee is okay if I do this, which is what doesn't usually happen to all of us that we do like this,
okay, it's not the same as if I do it like that, that detail is okay as I say it you do like
a scorpion you take your heel back I open it okay for the referee it's like a
leftover okay yes Imagine that he is doing me like this with his knees and every time
he throws a knee like that I do like that okay the judge says this He's working
harder, eh, this knee looks much better, this knee is more spectacular, ok Now, the detail
that ok makes the judges rate it above for power, plus it sounds ok since it has
a little more travel, it can be given a little more intention So we are going
to work well the hand inside another head well this knee one and the second descending I
raise the pit of the stomach and watch what I do with this hand that I have resting on
his head I push and with the hip I bring you see what happens the The head is lowered, this is
also valid for the judges, you can see a lot, you can see a lot, so let's hit a circular
with this, eh, but be careful that we accidentally hit our knee and do more damage,
let's go with this.
A descendant Ok now
he would do it on this side that he has controlled raise one that is and now I go up to the stomach
and it's my turn you see well Now look at this hand that I have
here on the arm to the head this one that I have here on the 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 bit look we look at
the detail from behind okay as if I hit a heel as if I hit something from behind
I open knee floor parallel I raise Okay and hip inside okay mate the same raise
a little arm here that's raise arm there to that's back knee hit the ground
descending ok work fluid ok how would it be fluid and I'm caught ok from here
I raise one one two pop now he raises 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 raise and to the parallel knees
he raises parallel pop that is arm arm I control 1 2 that is inside inside loop back 1 and 2
1 and 2 ok the work fluid eh back knee downward parallel the same the compañero
I put one arm to the head Another hug body and descending okay good Now one Imagine you
are here okay let's work on this okay because you have to this control okay
I hit the circular knee removing the back pulling it back Look at the back I open it floor floor I go up descending and with this arm I put it
deep, okay.
Mallet here very well. It would be your turn on the side that you have control,
always the arm is okay. There you have to be strong, strong legs, one and
up, okay. like this like this the knee in the face look at him scare it's okay to take the photo you wake up at
home head up okay head up see I can't get here from here I'm
seeing death okay head up grab the arm Because look from here you don't control
here here here with your arm bone here to the forearm There you control you see okay Don't
ever leave 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 I'm going
here I'm going to the elbow different well here from behind parallel the same knee parallel parallel
back because if not ruin it's okay again back it 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 okay I don't do this okay I don't do a
parallel one okay [Music] one open one open floor There
's a very good hip that's okay an ISO Don't take back
direct very direct Look okay I do it Look, I 'll do one to see it, I don't take it back, go
behind me, that is, the only thing to go back that I like to do, okay, is with a push, which
is the one that you have been doing for a long time, to score also that they are grabbed and they do this,
they do that, this they unbalance you they do This is okay It's not that they're not going to enter it's that they
throw you they do but I don't do it because he directly hits you you
are giving him space okay But if I unbalance him I put that is another
thing him in At that moment, you can't, you can't do anything like that, 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 your arms here I command Okay now come here we are going to dance
let's go to be a dance partner ok let's hold on tight ok I grab one side grab the other
whoever tries to get out as they can ok pushing or whatever we go back in ok and we play
with that very soft ok just so there's a little bit of resistance there's a little bit
of notion of Melee game okay okay you will realize that as you play you
are more and more alert okay each time you are a little more to that job
okay this is a job that should be used above all okay before a fight Before
from before an important fight especially Now you have 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 good Now let's go to work
The same as we are doing but now he is more handsome because we do the two crossbows
we do the two crossbows So no one stays Okay then I play he must come out he
comes to touch me I must go out and we must be in a little while we must be at
the end it must be seen coordination when I go in he must go out behind vascular back
or when he comes I have to go out from behind 1 2 1 2 even the gloves a little more
than nothing is worth to prevent blows to the fingers in the hands and all that is worth But we are going to
use only the legs are good we are going to start doing a reaction work like
what we are doing with the hands is okay But now it will be with the legs good we are going
to work only to start in the middle good Come closer for a moment to see when we work
with the leg in front mandatory let's go to do the Step ok I don't want this kick ok
this kicks uncle 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 only 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 Whatever you want okay see I 'm here I can move or You answer
quickly okay follow me okay that game guys that game that reacted to him
he has to be very attentive to fit and answer fit and answer I don't care
if he returns me on the same side or on the opposite side only in the middle only in the middle
controlling El Paso okay guys the weight is this passenger I exaggerate that it 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 I think I'll
hit that you get hurt 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 trying to work the moment of uncertainty it's worth not knowing
when I'm going that not it is known 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 on that so that it is not automatic all the time
one two one two one two one two okay there is a moment there when I
just move He and he already have to focus and maybe the kick doesn't work out.
Anyway, then we can work a little on that, okay, okay, imagine his work,
your job is to hit it, you hit it back quickly, that 's hit, hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it, [Applause] [Applause] okay that game [Music] is going to start okay We're going to
work the same one starts but now what happens is that we can kick the middle or down
to the legs it's also okay with the hikiki I don't want us to leave so I don't want us not
to take any surprise none well I want the locking to differentiate well okay from the
middle okay it differentiates well Look and see for a moment okay 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 worth not doing damage to the partner is ok but doing the technique is ok as if
we were going to put a very strong block well how is this he is going to fit he is only going
to fit when I go to work the loki I want us to take off a little bread jump ok
as if we were going to hit very hard Well, I can hit it, okay, or the forward one, or inside, leaving
something as you can see,
okay, or to
the back leg.
I take it out like this to hit the line directly
because many times now it has happened that you hit the lower parts okay when
you hit this kick here okay Why is it okay because there is the middle we cross here in the middle
if I flex okay I can hit both legs but If the height goes a little bit, it
hit it okay in the area of the cleat. So what do I do? I put it straighter.
You
see the leg straighter and it hits the cup directly. You see, it comes out like a stick and
the cup goes directly, only doing a Thai me from my gym and I thought about it and I say
hell this happens to me a lot and they had never explained it to me okay with the
straight leg I hit the tax this does a lot of damage So we are going to be very careful
well as I say that the difference is well loki okay that under the weight I hit 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 roll the same changing heights
medium down medium down and now be careful with the weight don't hurt yourself come in eh the answers are okay with kicking a lot kicking
well Now look one is going to work we are going to 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 a little while okay to each hand that I throw he responds with one leg that he
wants okay he can go down to the middle okay shot hand okay the one that starts will be the one
with the hands okay the other has to fit well and respond fit well and respond
Let's make small pauses well hands okay as I can at the end there is a moment
in which I it's as if I counterattacked him instead of starting me Because if I start
and stop if I start and he hits and I stop 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 alone hands well This is going to
be a little similar to what we have done before the crossbows ok we must stay
a little with the little roll this 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 the guard up
or the Answer quickly answer quickly
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]
