    Body problems with sparring

    This happens to me 8/10 times that I spar with my coach - not my other teammates - just my coach. I often cry too (ugh, stupid woman emotions) when/after I spar with him. Super embarrassing. The times it doesn't happen is when we have been doing drills together for a bit. A lot of it comes from...

    Signs that you are at a bad Gym

    haha i love the girls who come in to train (you know, twice a month) all done up in hair and make up with their pink ankle supports, pink hand wraps, shiny new pink boxing gloves, pink thai shorts, etc and then get all freaked out when I, female with no make up and hair in a messy mohawk from a...

    Wrap Comparison

    what is the deal with Le Roys? Why are they hard to wrap and why is a pair 4 wraps? I personally prefer thick wraps since I, being female, have small hands and need my wraps to make up for the empty space in the compartment of my gloves.

    How do you clean the inside of your gloves?

    I am another for the clorox/lysol wipes. I trained pretty heavily this summer (3-4 hours a day, 5 days a week) and wipes them out after every session. Then left them out of my bag until the next session. Did the same with my shin guards. As for wraps, I have 3 pairs and would rotate them...

    My (beginner) experience of MT sparring

    Nice write up, good start man. Keep it up. However: The weird rules you apply to sparring with girls is infuriating for most of us women. Point #1: Her face is not off limits. We are in Muay Thai. If we didn't want to get hit, we wouldn't be there in the first place. Hit her just like you...

    Fighting Muay Thai in MMA shorts

    We have team shorts and shirts, but aren't required to wear them. A lot of us do for a sense of community/family during training, but most also have their own non-team thai shorts that we put a small team iron-on patch on. I like it.

    Can someone explain to me how the heat is good for you when your training?

    I am the sweatiest goddamned chick at my gym during muay thai (2 hours, big fan, no ac). Granted, there are often no other girls, but that is not the point here... I used to hate it and was uncomfortable as hell at first, but now that I have adjusted my attire and cut off the sleeves of my t...

    How much do you run?

    ^^ Agreed!! Your coach shouldn't have promoted you unless he was SURE you were ready for the next level. So shame on him!! Go back to the beginners class and work your ass off until YOU think you are ready. Do the advanced classes strength/cardio workout you described before/after the...
