The former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world championship challenger has been coaching aspiring Muay Thai fighters and hobbyists for more than a decade, and he recently took his services to a new level by doing it on social media.

Taking to Instagram, the Bad Company affiliate showed just how important footwork is to making overly aggressive opponents pay for their eagerness by using one's movement to create angles that could lead to the fight-ending strike.

This near-flawless mastery of the art of striking has brought 'Hitman' to many heights over the course of his 120-fight career, including accolades like the Yokkao 65kg and WBC Muay Thai 147-pound championships.

As a ONE athlete, Harrison's most memorable highlight is his one-round war with Muangthai PK Saenchai in April 2022. The 39-year-old bounced back from near-certain defeat by dropping the Thai star thrice to gain the TKO victory.

He said as much in a recent interview with the promotion:

"I could fight, the Haggerty brothers could fight, Nico can too. So could George Jarvis and Liam Nolan. The talent is all there, and they could do serious numbers. I just don't know how long it takes to make moves like that. But I hope they can do that before I retire!"
