New Muay Thai Show on G4TV!

Thought I'd be honest with everyone.

I work for a show called Champions of Champions Elite on G4TV. It features Muay Thai fighting. I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with it.

COC-Elite

We recently showed last years' Kings Cup on the 22nd and will be showing the Finals on November 19th:

If you have heard of it, do you like it? Would you like to see more shows like it? Do you enjoy Muay Thai? Any feedback from you guys would be much appreciated. I'm a real person and, unless I get banned, I will be coming back during work hours to read/answer replies. Thanks!!

To the mods - If you interpret this as spam, by all means delete it/ban me. I apologize if I'm causing trouble.

G4 is no longer available on Directv.

Ugh. Yeah... G4TV dropped that bomb on us the DAY BEFORE it happened!

There are some petitions and stuff going on right now to get G4TV back on DirecTV, if you're interested...

The links can be found on our Official Facebook at: Champions of Champions Elite - Muay Thai Fight | Facebook

There's a phone number, two facebook pages, and a link to contact DirecTV directly. Hope that helps!!

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

I used to watch it when I had cable. But now I don't... :/

You guys should make a deal with the UFC. Just sayin.

Yeah...that'd be nice. Muay Thai moves are used both in MMA and the UFC... They're all fairly similar while still holding their own unique qualities.

Haha yeah... I just like to make the distinction since MMA is a style and UFC is a "brand name." Sorry if I was being confusing.

I get what you mean.
So you do muy thai?
How long it take you to build up your shins for the kicks.
And what'd they make you kick? How long each day?

I do not. I'm actually from a Kempo background, personally (18 years training). But I do enjoy WATCHING Muay Thai!

Oh, I wrestle. So I'd pretty much get my ass handed to me lol.
My standup isn't exactly something to be feared. But my ground n pound is pretty lethal. Haha.

Haha. Nothing wrong with Grappling. Judo is another martial art that's deadly "on the ground."

I have decent BJJ. I know how to use mission control and such.
I've done a judo throw or two on some friends. But anyone 10+ pounds over me, I can't really tip over. I can't quite figure out how to use leverage as good as the pros.

Sometimes it helps to use your forearm instead of your hand... I can't really explain what I mean on a thread though. haha. I'm sure you could find tips on youtube or something. We actually have a segement on our show sometimes that give Muay Thai tips (from Clifton Brown). I'm sure there are videos like that for Judo throws as well.

I do watch a lot of youtube things, then me and my friends test them out.
I've yet to master the clinch, my friends can always get out of it so easily. Even when I put my elbows together..
I've learned how to get takedowns really effectively, and even though I usually force the takedown, I've yet to be gassed out by an attempt.

We actually have a video about Clinching up on the website. It's short, but you might like it:

I can't. The boss won't let me. I have to be "banned."

Fortunately, the next post I make SHOULD be my last post (season finale...), so, unless people have questions/comments, I won't be back.

Hey, Everyone!

The season finale of our Muay Thai show, Champions of Champions Elite is on December 17th on G4TV!

For the last one we're going to be showing the Tyrone Spong VS Nathan "Carnage" Corbett fight from last year. This fight was a pretty big deal! Mired in controversy from the start, Spong would only fight Corbett if he didn't use his elbows. A confusing referee call (made by Paulo Tocha of Bloodsport and Predator 2 fame) and two KO's later the entire audience was in an uproar on what the heck happened. Was the ref unclear? Did Nathan deserve to get disqualified after knocking Spong out twice (like Jaxx in Mortal Kombat)? We'll be showing the whole thing, including the craziness that ensued afterward (people from the audience rushing into the ring, the commentators getting into a fight, etc).

Here's a quick promo:

We also have a recent video interview (from last week!) with referee Paulo Tocha on the whole matter. If I get the chance, I'll try to put it up for you.

I'd like to thank all of you for letting me hang out on your forums. It's been great getting to know all of you. I really loved hearing all your feedback as well! You're all awesome.

I know there were a lot of problems on December 5th, but we are still airing the 2010 Kings Cup tournament on PPV and Video On Demand for the rest of the month if you're interested. Just check your listings if you still want to check it out.

Also, if you liked our show at all, and want to see more Muay Thai on TV, just go to our website. We have lots of clips in the Community section. Plus the Official blog is updated twice a week.

Anyone planning to tune in?

That's very interesting. If you don't mind, I'm going to let my superior know about this. I hadn't heard anything like that. Then again, DirecTV didn't say a dang thing when they dropped G4 either! haha. Thanks for bringing this to light...

That just means he hasn't paid for G4.

Ah, okay. So it's a "Package" issue then, not an issue with the company as a whole. Whew! Thanks for letting me know.
