00:00Well, Joshua, familiar ka ba sa sport na kickboxing o kaya naman?
00:04Yung MMA.
00:04Yes, UFC.
00:06Mas madalas kasi natin narinig po yung boxing at wrestling.
00:09Pero bukod sa kung paano ba ito bilang sport,
00:12maganda rin malaman kung ano ang role ng isang coach sa paghanda at paghubog ng mga fighter.
00:16Tama ka, John Dayana.
00:17Ngayong umaga, makakasama natin ang isang coach at international promoter
00:20na magbabahagi ng kanilang paghanda para sa mga atleta
00:23at sa paghubog sa mga ito para sa competitions.
00:25Let's all welcome, Coach Ace Almeria and Sir Manuel Joseph Sanchez.
00:29Sir Sef, good morning and Coach Ace.
00:32Thank you for joining us this morning.
00:34Yes, mapapak-kickboxing ba tayo?
00:37Dapat pala.
00:38Dapat pala.
00:39Dapat pala naka-shorts lang ako.
00:41Wala ito, syempre.
00:42Discuss to us, ano ba yung kaibahan ng kickboxer at pagiging fighter, Coach Ace?
00:47At ano ba yung mga basic skills na dapat meron po dito?
00:50More like MMA fighter is combination siya ng kickboxing, form of striking.
00:57So, and then of course you also have a form of grappling, so like wrestling, jiu-jitsu.
01:03So, kickboxing uses punches, kicks, and depending sa promotion or sa ruleset,
01:11they will allow elbows and knees.
01:13So, lalo sa muay thai, they will allow elbows and then clinches.
01:16Yes, hindi inaawat ang clinch.
01:18Oh, okay.
01:19Actually, nakatry na ako ng isang class yun.
01:21I think muay thai.
01:22Ang sakit medyo dito sa paa, pag first time.
01:24Pero sabi na, pag first time lang daw yun.
01:26Oo, masasane din yata.
01:26Eventually, masasane ka.
01:28Pero masaya yung itry.
01:29So, magkaiba yun?
01:30Merong may variation.
01:32Kung kickboxing sa muay thai, merong pwedeng elbow and knees?
01:36Yes, ah.
01:36Ah, okay.
01:37Ito, kay Sir Sef, bilang international promoter po ng Filipino athletes,
01:41ano po yung mga paghahanda na dapat gawin ng isang atleta bago po sumabak sa ibang bansa?
01:47Well, for me kasi, usually as a fighter, you should have to be ready in any circumstances.
01:56But most likely, as a fighter, preparation comes like more or less three months.
02:02Three months?
02:03So, like I said a while ago, as a fighter, kailangan, you have to be prepared.
02:06Kailangan, um, parating kumbaga nasa kondisyon yung katawan mo.
02:11Kasi meron kami mga short notice na calls.
02:14For example, yung mga international promotions,
02:17pag once nag-reach sila sa amin,
02:20and they will ask, may mga na-injuries while on training,
02:24ah, kailangan nila ng mga short notice as fights.
02:28So, depende yun, eh. Case-to-case basis din yun.
02:30So, minsan, ah, by an opportunity comes, ah, binibigyan natin ng mga pagkakataon yung mga atleta natin.
02:42Sir, curious na ako, how do you scout yung mga may potensyal?
02:46Do you go to, ah, competition sa mga, mga lokal barangay, mga ganyan?
02:50No, no, no, no. Ah, the competition, ah, ah, like, ah, meron kasi tayong mga local promotions dito, eh.
02:58Okay.
02:59Sa Philippines. So, before we, ah, I mean, before we, ah, scout them para, ah, to compete to international,
03:11of course, ah, kailangan din muna natin makita yung abilities nila.
03:15Okay.
03:16So, yung mga skills na pwede nilang, ah, i-showcase.
03:20Okay. Saan ang sambansa po pinadadaling ating mga atleta?
03:23Depende, mami. Ah, meron, actually, ah, recently kakagaling ko lang, ah, Australia.
03:29Australia, okay.
03:29And Dubai, and last year, ah, depende po sa lugar.
03:35Okay.
03:35Africa, so, halang halang.
03:37And how does the Philippines play sa inung mga international competition?
03:39Well, may mga nananalo, at syempre, sa Tuse, meron din mga natatalo.
03:45But, ah, opportunity, of course, as a fighter, malaking, ah, ano yun, malaking advantage din yun for, as a fighter.
03:55Okay.
03:56At sya ka tama yung sinabi niya sa Sir Josef.
03:58You have to be ready when the opportunity comes.
03:59Kasi, misunsan baka bigla-biglaan.
04:01Biglaan.
04:02Dapat, kasi hindi naman lahat na bibigyan ng opportunity ng ganun.
04:05Correct.
04:05Kaya, dandyan din si Coach A.
04:07Yes, yung nga.
04:08Coach A, ano po yung mga challenges?
04:10Halimbawa, yun nga, may mga short calls na bigla na ipatatawag.
04:13As a coach po, ano po yung challenges natin sa mga players pagka sumasabak na sa ibang bansa?
04:18Sa short notice, ang mahirap talaga, preparation.
04:21Preparation.
04:21So, usually, ah, we got a call.
04:24Ah, we have to check kung sino sa amin yung pinaka-viable talaga.
04:28So, check naman.
04:29Ano yung pinaka-short notice?
04:30Experience na rin yun.
04:31Experience ko na rin yun.
04:32Ah, one day.
04:33Ha?
04:34One day?
04:34One day.
04:34Mayun, tulababang ka na?
04:35Tomorrow.
04:36Ah, tomorrow.
04:37Laban na rin.
04:38Actually, ako yung nag-alun sa kanya.
04:39Okay.
04:40Ama ba?
04:41Oo.
04:41So, medyo may, medyo may kaba, may thrill.
04:44Because it's your passion eh.
04:45You want to test yourself eh.
04:47Sabi ko nga nga nga nung before, you want to know what's on the other side of the door.
04:51Yes.
04:51So, yun yung number one eh.
04:54Lalo na, when you're still beginning, you want your name to be brought up there.
04:59So, yun yung pakita mo eh.
05:00Money's not even on the table pa eh pag nasa baba ka.
05:04Because you want na makilala ka eh.
05:06Yun muna talaga tayo yun eh.
05:07And then, pag short notice din talaga.
05:12Syempre, and yan yung heart.
05:13And then, you have to be ready.
05:15Fighter ka.
05:15You are at least 80% kalagi eh.
05:17So, you're always lifting, you're always doing your cardio, you're always sparring.
05:23And when you're grappling, you need to roll.
05:25Ganun talaga sya.
05:26Okay.
05:27Well, kay Sir Sef, may mga pagparating ba tayong mga pinagandaan?
05:31Yes, um, actually, uh, there's, um, an upcoming fight, uh, this coming November, uh, Sydney.
05:37Okay.
05:38So, ilan po eh papadala natin doon?
05:40Uh, depende pa ho eh.
05:42So, sa ngayon, uh, inaayos pa natin.
05:45Okay.
05:45Yung mga, uh, mga requirements na kailangan ng promotion, ng international promotion from us.
05:54So, depende po eh.
05:55Minsan, lima, anim.
05:57Okay.
05:58Alright.
05:58That's low, dalawa.
05:59Depende pa.
06:00Depende.
06:01Okay.
06:01So, siguro ito, kickboxing, Muay Thai, pwede ba ito sa mga enthusiast lang, Sir?
06:06Yes.
06:08So, yun ang maganda, parang we have to bring it to the masses.
06:12So, ang isang challenge namin mga coach, paano namin siya i-breakdown?
06:18Kasi not all people are here on the sport para matuto na yung traditional na they have to get kick,
06:27they have to get punch.
06:28Some of niya gusto papawis na.
06:30So, kami, nag-a-adjust kami.
06:32Okay.
06:32Some gyms, nag-a-adjust.
06:34Uh, clearly, fitness lang ang tuturo namin.
06:37Okay.
06:37And then, some gyms, gusto naman, uh, pakita namin yung art.
06:41So, yun, medyo pinapakita namin yung traditional.
06:44So, we got hit.
06:46Uh, of course, siyempre, we can hit back.
06:48Di ba ganun ba, Coach Ace, na nagsimula lang sa, papawis muna ako, tapos nakita niya na, parang kaya ko
06:54ah.
06:54Yes.
06:54Maraming, maraming, maraming ganun.
06:57Okay.
06:58Eh, baka ito na yung time natin, Joshua.
07:00Simuka natin.
07:01Three months daw bago mapadala ni Sir Seth.
07:04Pag pumasok ako naka-wheelchair, alam nyo na.
07:06Pero, ito po, ano pong effect nito?
07:08I mean, sa, sa, sa, doon sa mga, mga clients ninyo na ganun, na, nag-push through sa fighting, um,
07:14kumusta po sila?
07:15Number, yun, ah, majority kasi parang, ano eh, we call them journey man eh, di ba?
07:20Pang-ingitan, maririnig mo, mamabasa mo yan eh.
07:22Okay.
07:23So, they just want to know, ah, kung ano yung purpose mo ng life nila, ba't sila nandun.
07:29Some of them napadpad doon because of stress relief lang.
07:33Bakit ba sabihin, a lot of them, heartbroken.
07:35So, doon doon nag-i-easter, doon nag-i-easter.
07:37Yes, yes.
07:38And number one thing, of course, the discipline.
07:42Yung discipline.
07:42Yung discipline.
07:43Tsaka, may nakasamang parang, I believe, meron siyang kasamang responsibility dahil you don't use it, just, alam niya, yung iba
07:50kasi parang ginagamit as weapon eh.
07:52Yes.
07:53Exactly.
07:54Exactly.
07:55Oo.
07:56Actually, parang, ang sarap itryan yung Muay Thai.
07:58Alam mo, yung parang may self-defense skills kakaagad, parang gano'n.
08:01Gano'n ba yun, kickboxing, ganyan.
08:03Parang, don't mess up with me, subukan mo lang.
08:06Parang ganyan.
08:07Pero eto, kasi ang boxing, di ba, malaki din yung mga prizes dyan.
08:10Sabi kasi ni Sir kanina, the money is not on the table pa, ni pa nila hindi siya.
08:15But eventually ba, malaki din yung mga prizes dyan sa mga competition sa international.
08:20Well, siyempre kasi, sa prize, titignan nyo pa rin kung ano yung pinakamaraming nanonode.
08:25Boxing will always be the number one.
08:26Well, it's a case-to-case basis.
08:29If you're starting as a mature, like, no, I mean, as a pro, but yung record mo, depende yun eh,
08:39sa profile ng fighter.
08:41So, if your record is, uh, it's just the beginning, or nasa, ano pa, nasa, kapag, nasa, nasa daliri mo
08:51pa yung stats.
08:53Sabi bilang pa.
08:54Sabi bilang pa yung stats.
08:55Of course, the promotion will depend on your, uh, credibility or credentials.
09:01Oh, okay, yeah.
09:02So, build your record for this.
09:04And, most likely, pagka once naman, like, uh, for example, international fights.
09:09Pag once for, pag once na nanalo ka, of course, and the promotion, nagustuhan ka ng promotion,
09:16of course, by the next, uh, season of event nila, they will also invite you again.
09:23And then, that's the time they will, uh, uh, sign you for, uh, residential contract.
09:29Your residential contract.
09:31Well, thank you po sa pagbahagi po ng iniwora si ito po sa Rise and Shine Pilipinas at tungkol sa
09:36sports nito.
09:37Maraming salamat, Sir Seth and Coach Aze.
09:39Thank you so much.
09:40Thank you next time naman, ano, may demo.
09:42Yeah, of course.
09:43Next time, yes.
