Gegard Mousasi in allenamento con Thom Harinck
News out of Amsterdam is that Striekforce champion and FEG star Gegard Mousasi is currently spending some time training with kickboxing coach Thom Harinck at Harinck's Chakuriki Gym.
Harinck is of course one of the top kickboxing coaches in the world, having coached the absolute elite kickboxers over the years including Peter Aerts, Branko Cikatic, Jerome Le Banner, and many others. Currently the biggest names coming out of Chakuriki are Aerts and Hesdy Gerges.
I have said before that Mousasi is taking an amazing approach to his training, learning a variety of styles to become a true mixed martial artist, and this just further demonstrates that idea. By working with a trainer like Harinck, Mousasi looks to improve his already strong stand-up and add yet another dimension to what is already a nearly flawless skill set. I honestly would put Mousasi in the discussion of top pound for pound fighters in the world at this point, and greatly look forward to seeing what his time at Chakuriki does for his stand-up game.
