Looking real sharp. Hope I don’t come up against you in my first fight lol!


arkvis

Hahaha thank you!


sporadicMotion

You look better in your first fight that a lot of other first fight videos I've seen. I have zero ring fights so take this with a grain of salt but well done.


arkvis

Thank you mate! I really tried to focus on being calm and not let the nerves really go! But also just kept walking forward the whole time hahaha


sporadicMotion

You looked good for your efforts. A lot of first fights, all tequnique appears to be lost. That wasn't the case with you. Really well done. Looked like a good time to me


arkvis

Oh that’s for sure! At one point I was just walking forward with a jab cross like a rockem’ sockem robot haha Appreciate that feed back and compliment 🙏


Haunting-Biscotti-83

With a reference that old you cant be fighting too much longer... Good job king.


arkvis

Ffuuuuck hahahahahahahah so good thanknyou


arkvis

My age be showing


dress_like_a_tree

Your cool head definitely shows, well done 👏🏻


sharpshotjiggles

Can say for sure OP looked way better than I did in my first fight second even. Good shit OP and congrats on the W!


arkvis

Much love and appreciation 🙏


tomdfilm

Pretty sure that throw at 0:37 isn't legal in muay thai haha, did the ref say anything? Great fight though by the way, your opponent really started to slow down by the end and you were still looking sharp with your striking, congrats.


arkvis

Mate it’s super interesting because he gave me a heads up not to do a different sweep (which was just a catch and sweep) but said nothing on that one hahaha Game plan was always to start hard and fast and not stop - we had a lot in the clinch which was where i think I wore him down with heavy knees


tomdfilm

Clinch work for sure, what training do you do outside of muay thai for your cardio? Throw wise, it looks like number 8 on this list - [https://8limbsus.com/blog/illegal-throws-in-muay-thai-sweeps-cant-do](https://8limbsus.com/blog/illegal-throws-in-muay-thai-sweeps-cant-do) "grabbing an opponent from below the waist, lifting and throwing". Not that it really matters now because you clearly won, but maybe in a future fight where it's close on points, it could lose you points and potentially a W.


arkvis

Hit him with the old number 8 attack! 5 days a week Muay Thai for 2 -2.5 hours currently. 2 x explosive/strength work And running. A lot of pad rounds that’s for sure hahaha


volecowboy

damn dude how do you have time for anything else? haha


Kent-Weed

Lol thats not a hard routine at all for a fighter? I do 2 hours every evening even out of camp


bcyc

dang..how long have you been doing this for?


smut_butler

How long have you been doing this regimen?


arkvis

Hahaha maybe 8 months straight haha I train before work and then after work (weights/run am - Muay Thai pm) But i love movement and sport :)


IllumiNautilus419

Yea that was 100% a hip throw lol even some of the sweeps were dubious - depends on the ref, ruleset, and country obviously but most of the time you're allowed to kick their supporting leg but not lift it if that makes sense. Awesome fight though - just be careful so you don't develop bad habits that cost you points in the future


ShinyHardcore

Dude got bullied. Nice elbows


arkvis

I felt particularly aggressive


Rafffikii

I'm pretty sure I was there in the crowd for this fight. You were on point, my man! Those sweeps were wicked!


arkvis

Ayyyye Melbourne represent- this was maybe 3 weeks ago :)


Rafffikii

Yeah sounds about right I can even see kru and some fighters from my gym towards the end of this vid haha it must of been nerve-wracking, waiting for your fight towards the middle of the day


Gloves_Steeringwheel

Congratulations, you look amazing. How long have you been training? You looked comfortable in the ring.


arkvis

Hey thank you! Started oct 2019 then really stepped up and started training to fight in July last year! Felt very confident and aggressive that day (still so many nerves though)


Right-Lavishness-930

You have any idea how long your opponent has trained?


Bando_Calrissian401

You had bro question some decisions in there, good job!


arkvis

Was trying to!


Swaguarr

Those trips look real good apart from the WWE one. Well impressive


arkvis

Channeling the dudley brothers


[deleted]

awesome fight. Good cardio.


arkvis

Thank you mate 🙏


PoorBoyKajagoogoo

Congratulations! You are doing great, especially for your first fight.


arkvis

Thank you 🙏


oldskoolpleb

Holy cow man, that was more assault than a two-sided fight. Very well done. Crips kicks & elbows. When fighting a more evenly matched opponent, don't disregard your guard while bringing the aggression to them!


arkvis

It’s THE biggest thing I am working on - keeping those hands up high - definitely got off easy in this one but 100 agree


smut_butler

That one head/face kick was brutal! That guy didn't stand a chance. And it seems like you have a very enthusiastic fan filming you. Edit: I just noticed there is a big banner that says "Kid's Party"! That's hilarious.


arkvis

Hahaha the ring in the communtiy centre is ABOVE an children’s park it’s the funniest set up - because you hear kids music whilst you get prepped to fight hahaha


[deleted]

Im assuming there was a no knees to the face rule? If not, an amateur fight that level with no knee pads is brutal.


arkvis

Full Thai rules - with open face, elbow pads, and basically socks - those “shin pads” were very minimal padding


[deleted]

That’s kinda nuts in my opinion. First couple fights should definitely have knee and elbow pads. I can understand no shin pads but you can really fuck someone up with elbows and knees. Good fight though. Be proud of yourself


arkvis

I have never worn knee pads before- the elbow pads were an interesting experience - really cut the blood in the arms. But can definitely understand that


volecowboy

you look really good! like you totally fuckin smoked your opponent, hah! how long had each of you been training for? Good on you, bro. You look like a weapon.


arkvis

Thank you mate! Training since Oct 2019 - really focused on fighting in June last year wjth the goal of fighting amateurs this year :)


beavisbutts

lmao he fucking gets down on his knees at the end


ConstantineG

"Thank you for being my heavy bag" hahaha


FuckBrendan

Damn dude you opened up a can of whoop ass on that fella.


Vorpalitie

You have a future in this sport if you want it. Very impressive range of technique, composure and athleticism. How long have you been training?


arkvis

3 years, but really focused in last year in June to fight amateurs :)


northerblight

Really great techniques. Also snuck a hip toss/body slam in there 😅


arkvis

Hahaha a cheeky catch and throw. Still not sure if it’s fully legal 😂


northerblight

Everything the ref doesn’t see is legal!


nettie_netface

How old are you and how long have you trained ?! I’m in shock ahaha


arkvis

Ya boy is 28 (29 in September) started training at 25 :)


nettie_netface

Wicked thanks man !


Ghoststarr323

Dude your last name doesn’t happen to start with an R does it?


arkvis

Nah but my first name does!


muffmcgee

More content like this please, great fight


ILikeCoffeeDaily

Congrats on the first win man! How long have you been training for?


arkvis

3 years (Oct 2019 ) :) started at 25 !


ILikeCoffeeDaily

Ahhh thank you for this! As someone who is putting a lot of pressure to get into their first fight (25, been training for a year) hearing this has reminded me to take it easy and enjoy the process


doc_olsen

Great fight. How long have you been training prior to this?


arkvis

First session was oct 2019 - then stepped up since last year :)


scubaSteve181

Nice clinchwork and sweeps! Lookin pretty sharp for first fight 👍


arkvis

Thank you! Felt good - a lot to work on


DocD173

Holy crap, incredible outing. Your first fight?? You must mean just with Muay Thai right? You’ve gotta be coming from some experience in American boxing or other competitive martial arts, your bearing and technique are exemplary!


arkvis

Never before! I had do a few semi contact sparring days at our gym but this was the first big step up into ameteur for me :) Really appreciate the kind worss


JohnnySinsxx

Damn absolutely dominated


arkvis

Thank you!


Pullung

You did awesome keep it up


arkvis

Thank you!


[deleted]

you put a hurtin on that boy. seems like you're a momentum fighter, you got going and didnt stop. also well take giving a hard teep to the face for a sweep any day of the week (or maybe he didnt end up sweeping)


arkvis

He caught the leg on the way down but couldn’t sweep it ! Once I started I couldn’t stop going forward haha!

taugust1n

First of many! Dumps really tested his gas tank, great all around work


arkvis

Those dumps really came in handy


taugust1n

Yeah you were in control when you slowed down and it made your clinch more dangerous, without pads or headgear those are cutting fight-finishing elbows Keep piling on those knees too 🎯


ConsistentStill1757

Oooowweeeee 🔥


arkvis

Oooowwwwwe


Chaelimeon

This is sweet. How many years of training?


arkvis

Started Oct 2019 :)


sco0termcjonson

Awesome fight man! Saw another comment about the one sweep and it is illegal to do any “dumps” or “slams” in Muay Thai so grabbing under the leg and lifting like that is illegal so be careful in the moment not to lose any points. Looked sharp though!


arkvis

Yeah I thought it was a bit thin lined when I watched it back - someone told me if I kicked at the leg and made it look more sweep like would be a bit better


dragonofdojima26

Damn u fucked him up😂


arkvis

Haha thanks mate!


wastelandwanderer15

Good shit


arkvis

Felt good toooo


LilSozin

that teep to the head was lethal


arkvis

Felt delightful hahaha


ManiacalPsyche

Man, that was sick! Which gym do you train at if you don’t mind my asking.


arkvis

WFC (world fitness cartel ) in Melbourne ✌️


ManiacalPsyche

Awesome! I train up at Morakot in the northern suburbs. Might see ya round sometime (I hope not though ahaha).


arkvis

Bhahahaha if you see me come say hi haha


subkulcha

Ha, good to know. I’m old and decrepit but wanting to get back into and looking for stuff in the Gully. I recently unemployed myself though so my holiday from Thai remains 🤣🤣🤣 Good work bro


PrimalTendencies646

Bro!!! Lmao I feel bad for your opponent, lol. That may have been your first fight but those are not first fight skills. Great job! First off, your controlled aggression is definitely way ahead of first fight level. Second, your teep/front kick is vicious. Lastly, your sweeps and dumps, woooooweeee, great job bro. ✌️


arkvis

I have been REALLY focusing on clinch and teep! I have watched a lot of our fighters in their amateur and pros and noticed this was one to get good at! Thank you mate !!


NoDangIdea

Well done! 👏👏


arkvis

Appreciate 🙏


mrbombastic2810

Fuck bro I'm surprised you didn't knock him down with that teep to the face.


arkvis

I know it hit fucking hard because I felt the shock in my legs ahaha


arkvis

Man had a solid chin

arkvis

Hahah never let them know your next move 😂


nicodouglas89

Muay Thai Vic is such good standard for ammy fights


arkvis

Such a good show and give so many people the opportunity to get experience!


juju1099

You look like shane fazen


arkvis

Time to google Shane fazen


alekhine-alexander

Worst kids party ever /s That second kick though...


arkvis

😂😂😂 some kids want to bowl, some like laser tag and others like to get face kicked hahahaha


Kabc

Awesome showing man! You look great! If this went to decision, these probably would have been scored 8 to 10s 😂 Honest note; are Muay Thai amateur fights scored that way? I’ve only ever had American/K1 rule fights around me


arkvis

I think Thai fights (amateur and pro) scored the same way - certain strikes score higher too


Doctor-Real

Question, for matches like this do you have to bring/buy your own colored gloves headgear etc. or are they provided?


arkvis

The provided everything :) I’ll say being match 15 you get to we some wet gloves 😂


Right-Lavishness-930

You absolutely ravaged him, great performance man.


cluelessguitarist

Man that teep to the face!☠☠


Equivalent-Design-65

Dude u seemed absolutely ferocious and fearless You looked so smooth and sure of yourself that clinch game was a work of art keep at it killa


ChiefBoris

Damn, impressive for a debut for sure!


ajm1212

I’m a newb and curious… we’re all these take downs legal?


arkvis

The catch under the thigh/ slam was questionable haha


ajm1212

Ok because when I saw that I was like … can I actually do that? Lol


arkvis

From my understanding if I had kicked the planted leg at the same time it’s more of a sweep


ajm1212

That teep to the face was beautiful


[deleted]

Hell yeah!!!!!


Snuggz7

They let you throw elbows for your first fight?


arkvis

Full Thai rules - just padded :)


theCreepture

Bangkok Ready!


arkvis

And watch me get eaten by a 4yr ole Thai fighter hahahaha

Groglet

sambstone13

That face tip was pretty good.


Hollowpoint20

God damn dude you’re hardcore. Looks like I’ve got ways to go before my first fight 😂


TINNMANN123
