Hola! 🌞 I’m Jax in Dallas, Texas. I’m excited to learn and join a community of Muay Thai lovers! I’ve been training Muay Thai for about 2.5 years - no other martial arts experience except for boxing workouts and mitt work. I’m truly excited to learn the “slower” side of Muay Thai - the details that make a difference in how your defense and offense looks. Angling in and out, being the aggressor & controlling the match whilst having good defense and IQ. FUN fact - I love dancing & know many styles! I love instructing & performing salsa, merengue and bachata 💃🏽🫶🏽💃🏽

@Matt Ayuen In a way it has yes - however in dancing you stay close to your partner who isn’t trying to teep you in the uterus hahahah. But otherwise it has absolutely helped with things like getting a switch kick down quicker, being mindful of range.

My goal before fighting this year is to improve at the details in Muay Thai and to improve my IQ. I want to focus on angling in/out; finding openings; not being fearful of moving forward/controlling the match. I think fear and panic sets in bc some dudes can go extremely hard during sparring and you get in your head about getting hurt or trying to avoid getting hit, therefore I’m focusing on moving back and getting out of the way instead of checking/blocking and finding an open shot. I’m excited to get through these current modules and use the info on the mats!
