Every fighter is training with a partner, with a punching bag or something else. Holding the pads looks easy. If you want to be the padtrainer of Peter Aerts you need to have more skills. Is there a certain vision or technique? We joined a training from Peter Aerts and asked the best padtrainer of the world how it works.

Peter Aerts is a great fighter. He is fighting the K-1 for many years now and he has signed up for 3 more years. How is it possible to be on the top for such a long time? iFight went to one of his trainings. This training was in Kops Gym in Amsterdam. Trainer of the day was Jan Plas. Go take a look at this!

During sprinday which was organised by the NSKO, Sem Schilt (together with Dave Jonkers) gave a seminar to dutch karate fighters. Sem Schilt has been champion for more than once, in K-1 he is world champion at this moment. He turns out to be a good teacher and a true budoka. Luckily I managed to ask him a few questions! After this seminar there was a fighting training by Wim Scharrenberg which was also an examination. Some footage of this examination can be seen after the interview.

Our interview with Remy Bonjasky is ready. My big friend Ted has done the talking, I did the footage and editing. Sorry for the noise during the interview. Ted will try to point the microphone at the right mouth next time... Click on the picture to see this Vodcast. Use Quicktime as your favorite mediaplayer.
