Name: Julio U.
Topic: Muay Thai
EQ: What is the best way in becoming a Muay Thai Fighter?

Idea(s):
  • Take pictures of other fighters, personal training, and me training other people in a folder and share it out and see what activities people like the most.
  • I could due shadow boxing and video tap it..
How they relate to my E.Q.:

  • The first one, is to capture the movement of a fighter which he/she/ and the audience cannot see while fighting, training, or teaching others. This relates to my E.Q. because there might be things a great fighter might due that he does not know and I may find it or catch the mistakes. 
  • The second one, is to video tape a fight in first person's view and see how the punches, kicks, elbows and knees come at you.
