What does Coach Rex do in your corner?
Check-in and rules meeting, hands wrapped, a proper warm-up, then water, the clock and one or two clear instructions between rounds.
Cornering is for the athlete whose own coach cannot make the date, or who has been training alone. I learn your game first, then I show up on event day and work your corner at point Muay Thai sparring and point boxing matches.
On the day:
- Check-in and the rules meeting, together, so nothing gets sprung on you later
- Hands wrapped, gear checked against the event’s sheet
- A real warm-up on the pads, timed against a bout order that will move. Timing, breathing, nerves burned off
- Between rounds: water, the towel, the clock, and one or two clear instructions. Not a speech
- Afterwards, an honest debrief
If you already have a coach, I work their game plan instead of replacing it. Nobody needs two voices saying different things in a sixty second break.
The wraps matter more than people think, because a corner that wraps badly costs you a hand. I will teach you to wrap your own along the way: do I need to wrap my hands.
Most of the day is waiting, and knowing that in advance is half of staying calm: what fight night actually looks like. The debrief afterwards holds most of the value, win or lose: what if you lose your first one.
Not sure you should be on a card at all yet? Ask before you enter: how to know if you are ready to compete. I am not going to talk you into walking out there, and there is no shame in pulling out of one.
Read the Fight-Day Corner page, then send me the event, the date and your division.
