Any shinguards you can recommend? I tried the ones from yokkao, but the seem a bit too thick and bulky. Grateful for any recommendations.

very unfortunate that I booked my tickets to Thailand now in February.

i asked a few gyms and my first destination or goal is manops gym for 2 weeks, contacted manop he said air is fine, looked up the aqi, it’s around 60 near his gym, fine indeed.

then I contacted Kem gym who said since it’s on the mountains, air is fresh and no dust ,nothing, and I look up the aqi around that place it’s above 100. Can someone confirm how accurate the aqi is and if someone’s been to Kems gym in February maybe can confirm that that is the case? It might be that the sensors are placed on the lower ground where it might be filled with dust and high up air is fine, or maybe Kem is used to 100 aqi and that’s why he says it’s fine….idk

Not a lot of details but I just want to condition my abs myself. Looking for individual a conditioning excersices like with medicine balls etc.

Guys hello 👋🏼 just landed to Phuket, please recommend me some good gyms in Phuket with good coaches🫡💪🏼🇹🇭

I wanna fight but I also like going to watch combat sports events occasionally and also the occasional vacation. How do you guys balance doing that stuff and fighting? Do you sometimes just go away for a weekend in training camp or never let anything interrupt your camp?

I’ve got an event coming up that I booked months ago and it would be late in my fight camp if I get matched. So I don’t wanna not fight but I also don’t wanna cancel what I’ve paid for (there’s no refunds) especially since I could cancel it and not even get matched.

Never been in this position before so not sure what to do or what my coach would expect. Hesitant to ask him as well because I feel like it could come across as me wanting to go to other places instead of train for a fight.

He was indeed a beast.

Hi! Im a spanish grappler and I have an ecommerce so I can travel to any country and make my money online. Im very very interested in going 1 or 2 years to thailand to improve my striking. But I need help with the Visa, I dont know what type of visa is best for me, or how do I get It. Im really lost with It, someone could help me please??

Hello! I’m a southpaw, did 1,5 years of Muay Thai not too regularly and started again a month ago after a 2 year break

I noticed that often in sparring I accidentally hit the groin of my sparring partners. This happens often when they stand pretty bladed and retreat when I throw my left kick or when I get thrown off balance and lift my front knee up.

Usually it’s not a problem when my partners wear a guard as it is never with power and just a “slip” but It’s still a bad look and I don’t want my sparring partners to feel uncomfortable. Any advice is much appreciated!

So I have been off training for over a month now and just came back before getting athletes foot, so far I’ve had to take the whole week off but fear it may not have cleared up by tommorow. Despite the medicine I’m using supposedly taking seven days to finish. Of course I know it’s contagious, I have a pretty mild case I’d say and it hasn’t spread to any other people in my family or to the rest of my body or foot and is just between two toes and a little on the top of them. I will probably see a doctor to try and confirm if it’s gone tommorrow but I have been absolutely dying to train as I’ve got all this time I won’t have in a few weeks and am about to get into my gyms fight team. Anyway I’m just wondering if anyone has ever trained with athletes foot by taping and then wrapping it up then socking it, and what the general consensus is on this kinda thing? I know I need to be patient but it’s killing me to have to stay home. Either way tho I really don’t want to be a dick so more than happy to sit tight for now as I know it’s best.

I have been doing technique and padwork with a 220lbs guy and im 180lbs. I have to admit that sometimes it hurts to do the padwork with this guy kicking with 80-100% power

hey all I just wanted to share my experience at a gym that I trained at in Krabi named Honour muay Thai. it has a very homey feel and It was one of the best gyms I have trained at so far

Hello! I’ve been training Muay Thai for about almost 4 years now in the states and competed for a year. It’s been a dream of mine to go, but I finally got myself in a better place financially.

I just got back from a 1.4 years hiatus from Muay Thai 1 month back in training hard. I plan to get into fighting shape again and should be good to go by the time I go, which is the end of the year.

I typically do 5 min/3-5 rounds to get in shape with a lot of bag work to get my body back to fighting shape.

I am setting aside 4-6k USD because I am planning to go with my wife and I, including my trainer.

I should be in decent shape already but I know never enough in Thailand but I want to fight atleast once there before I head back home while training there and return fighting a shit-ton back in the states.

Is that possible to get a fight within 1 month? Which gyms do you recommend that will help me with my goals?

Please share some pictures if you have done something for storing Thai belly pads. We got about 14 of them and would like a clean and organized solution for storing them. Ideally hanging them onto a wall if possible. Thanks in advance!

Not the most related topic but how long should I hold off on training after getting my first tattoo To avoid infection and unwanted pain?

The other day at class during light sparring I knocked a new guy out and I feel so bad. He's new but is a boxer and has great hands, like great hands, but he stands like a boxer and me and quite a few other people have told him to straighten out his stance, even Kru has told him. So we were doing a light sparrig session and he was going pretty hard, couple of his shots hurt a lot, I stepped back and told him it's light, to take it easy, he goes "okay sorry, I'm new at this" and then within 15 seconds he's throwing bombs again, all punches but still bombs, I back up again and tell him to lighten up, maybe adjust his stance a bit cause he's still standing like a boxer, very linear and legs wide with his jab hand down. Again, this guy has great hands. We start again and he doesn't let up and I get frustrated, I turn to my Kru and he asks if I wanna switch partners I say no, we start again and he throws another big shot, I'm defending but I can feel that he's trying to knock me out, so I fake a jab and go to deliver two leg kicks to get the point across but the first one buckles him at the knee and he starts to drop and my second puts my shin into the side of his head and he drops. Everything from taking his mouth guard out to moving his legs, he gets back up after a little bit but I haven't been to class in a few days, still doing my private sessions but I feel weirdly guilty. I wanted to sort him out but not like that, think I just needed to vent.

I always get headaches after sparing without being hit against the head.

It also doesn’t matter how hard the sparing is.

I get no other symptoms of concussions only the headache.

Could it be something else?

It’s really annoying

Does anyone know Why windyboxingstore.com have so few colors of gloves? Windy used to have many more colors.

For a long time I was very hungry for this sport. I would attending at least 3-4 training sessions a week while also running minimum 3 days a week, lifting, and eventually, when I signed up for an interclub exhibition, I started attending fight camp. For a few weeks, I was absolutely locked in.

But then, the interclub got postponed to a date on which I have to be overseas due to pre planned travel arrangements (these plans were made long before the interclub was even mentioned). Obviously, I can’t change prearranged travel plans so I had to drop the interclub and thus, drop out of fight camp.

Ever since that happened, and due to the stress of my job and working unpredictable shifts as a healthcare worker, I lost motivation to train, and don’t train as hard as I did. I feel like I don’t have that same hunger for Muay Thai as I did before. I find that my performance, whether in pad work or sparring, took a slight dip and I get FOMO when I watch fight footage.

Could this be a sign of burnout? Have any of y’all dealt with something similar to this?

I have a pair of Venum impact gloves 14oz and they feel very heavy making my punches sluggish and I was wondering if there is some good gloves you guys would recommend for me to get that are 14oz to 16oz

Recently started and my coach asked if I watched fights. Made me realize I do not but probably should watch some. What are the fights you guys think I should watch? I woul like free suggestions if possible.

Just hoping to see these to understand muay thai better and to possibly learn from. Thanks for a year advice.

i forgot to check my weight and ive been just eating a shit ton of food and as of making this post i just ate a whole chicken breast and a LOT of pasta so i think my realistic weight is 135-136 but i just weighed at 137, can i still lock in and make weight on time? or should i just give up on cutting and try to re-register at 140
