In case you missed it: Season 1 of Transformation Talks is in the books!
I’m not yet sure when Season 2 will kick off. But you can still get my best transformation-related content right here!
On today’s episode of Transformation Talks, we’re joined by Jake Mainini, the head coach of Hard Knocks Muay Thai, and the Muay Thai coach for the New England Cartel.
Jake and I studied exercise science in college together, and it was wonderful to catch up and discuss his Muay Thai career, approach to coaching, and passion for helping non-fighters enjoy the life-changing benefits of combat sports.
Here’s what we got into in today’s talk:
- Where Jake coaches now (00:45)
- A simple breakdown of MMA (02:17)
- How Jake prepares his camp for fights (05:53)
- How Jake fell in love with combat sports (15:44)
- The most memorable fights of Jake’s life (23:07)
- What combat sports can offer NON-fighters (31:03)
- The importance of feeling physically competent (40:43)
- Three things to look for in a Muay Thai or combat sport gym (47:32)
