#Kicking harder than a sensei series#

'Doing squats, or lunges, or crunches, that makes your body harder, stronger. 'What I slowly and painfully started to realize is that as we went on, we weren't making my body harder,' says Seth following his ordeal. But don't worry he's not actually hitting him with it, he's simply rolling the wooden handle up and down Seth's shin, an agonizing conditioning technique used to increase pain tolerance.

'They don't win fights.'Īnd then, finally, with a huge disclaimer not to try this at home, Seth and Josh move onto the final conditioning tool: a sledgehammer. 'Leg kicks don't hurt people,' says Josh, when Seth starts groaning in pain.

Once Seth's core has taken enough punishment, Josh turns his attention back to the sensei's legs, hitting them with a series of kicks. Then Josh switches up his technique, attacking Seth's abs with a one-two punch. on to make the 2 best solo albums compared to his former partner is testament to his work and his ability. And apparently this was just the 'easy' part.Īfter that, the punishment steps up a notch: Seth does situps while Josh hits him in the stomach with a pad, and then he must maintain a dead hang while Josh continues to punch him with increasing power. Seth starts out by measuring the 'distance traveled' of each kick, placing a 25-pound ball on top of some stacked bags and tracking how far the ball rolls each time he hits it. Then Seth lays down while Josh repeatedly throws a ball at his stomach. Josh starts off easy, with a series of backhanded and openhanded slaps to Seth's hamstrings, progressively hitting him harder and harder. 'This isn't body conditioning that I do on a regular basis through the program that they run in the States,' Seth clarifies, 'but this is something that Josh has been through in Thailand.' 'Muay Thai practitioners are known to be one of the toughest sets of fighters, period,' he says in his new video, in which he volunteers for a grueling conditioning routine with Josh Brackett, an experienced Muay Thai instructor whose clients have included no fewer than seven national Muay Thai champions.

While YouTube's Sensei Seth primarily creates content relating to all things karate, he has also spent the last year training in Muay Thai. Whether it is traditional, street, kick boxing, grappling, or just a cardio workout.
