Amazing, It’s great to learn about Jack Slack’s process and even more awesome to learn that he is reading Tim Ferriss’s book also!

I’m not the expert, but isn’t sparring very light quite traditional in Thailand?

Interesting comments on sparring. My Thai trainers are pretty strict and obsessed with light sparring, only going hard as the fight gets closer. They prefer longer rounds of sparring to intensity. They also go on a 60/100 principle when sparring: 60% power to the head, 100% to the body. Some of my more experienced (Western) training partners had trouble with that.
