4. What would you suggest for such trainings in future? I think that adding in conditional training would help the team tremendously. Cross training sprinting and circuit training are a great supplement to Muay Thai training. During my time in training with the team we began punch/kicking drills which included a lot of footwork and angles. These drills have helped me a great deal in my career and I feel if the team kept up with them, they will see improvements in their skills as well.
Questions to the trainers who worked with Mr.Sergey: 1 . Tell about your training experience in Moscow. I enjoyed training with the team in Moscow! I felt that the team was very happy to have me and enjoyed learning Muay Thai! It was great getting to see Moscow and train a group of people who were very interested in muay thai.

Questions to the trainers who worked with Mr.Sergey: 2. What clients have you remembered, and why. The two clients that stuck out the most to me were Maxim "Rambo" and Alex. Max was preparing for his fight as I was training with him and he learned and improved tremendously leading up to his fight. I was very proud of him when he knocked out his opponent. He had showed much improvement in his footwork throughout the training and i think it showed in his fight.
Alex was the big guy! He was Max's main training partner leading up to the fight. I had the best connection with him because he spoke the best english out of the group and had much knowledge of the United States which we talked about a lot.
3. What did you like and what didn't - trainer, gym, assistants, equipment. It was Hot in Moscow! I was there during the Heat Wave and the hotel I was staying it was very very hot. NO A.C. I thought the gym was great! it had a nice ring, heavy bags and mat space. With all the pads needed for great training.
