Muay Thai – Horacio Gutierrez

Fight night striking, straight from a UFC corner.

As part of the European Combat Sports Festival, former UFC fighter Horacio “The Punisher” Gutierrez, striking coach of former UFC champion Belal Muhammad, leads an open Muay Thai training session in Tallinn.

Gutierrez fought in the UFC, reached the final of The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America, and built his name as a knockout artist with almost every win coming by KO. As a coach, he took a wrestler and turned him into a fighter who won a UFC title on the feet against one of the best strikers in the division.

On the mat, you will work on:

• Hands and kicks that flow into each other, combinations built for the ring, not for pads.
• Knees and elbows from the clinch and how to set them up.
• Footwork and angles to land clean and stay out of range.
• Counters and setups that finish fights, not just score points.

This open training is for all levels, from your first months in the gym to experienced competitors. Bring gloves, shin guards, and a mouthguard.

Gutierrez also leads a separate open MMA training at the festival, check the programme for both.
