I hosted a seminar last year in Birmingham with Ramon, He still has that presence and incredible power. Very nice guy. Regards to all. Eddie
I noticed some of the comments on there stating how fighters were a lot tougher back then compared to people like Souwer and Buakaw etc from this generation. Are they just keyboard warrior fools who couldn't kick the skin off a rice pudding or is there any truth to what they say? I had to laugh at the comment about Buakaw's kicks being powerless though, fools!
Awesome video Taksin - do you know if you'll be holding anymore seminars with Deckers again? <Edit> Are you in Birmingham US or UK?
Dekkers was one tough mother f*ker thats for sure, i don't know if you can call any Thai soft though... lol If you compare K1 to Muay Thai, Muay Thai is a lot more 'hard core' and demanding tons of elbows and clinching, clinching is about 50% of the game in Thailand. I don't know how often these guys fight but they are doing it to make a living for small cash not the big bucks like in K1 food for thought i guess.
played 200 fights lost 50,he used to fight 3 times a week,he is one of the best and strongest fighters i ever knew.
We had the opportunity to go and train with him in February this year at his gym in Breda. I would highly recommend going and training with him, he has a very different style of teaching, his gym is very good, and the town has lot of things to do after training.
Nice one singto,i have thought of going there myself,dutch style is different to thai style though eh
if I remember correclty his boxing skills are very much from the 'rotterdam' school of boxing. He was one hell of a puncher.
One thing I love about Dekkers is the way he REALLY means his punches. When he's throwing leather every punch seems designed to send his opponents head into the back row. You can't not like that really.
