    BTW, the moustache guy is Chalampetch. He retired a while back but he came back about a year ago and has been fighting in Max Muay Thai since. He has a fight in Max Muay Thai this week, actually. @4daLuLZ @Sinister Here's Chalampetch's last fight in Max:

    sparring

    Some context: That's Joseph Lasiri who fought in One a few weeks later (few weeks ago actually) against Mongkolpetch and this sparring takes place at Sitjaopho where they're known for super light technical sparring (youtube sitjaopho sparring). They went harder on this one probably because he...

    How effective is the jab or leg kicks/knees in real fight?

    Note my post applies only to the situation in which a trained fighter is fighting an untrained fighter. Many of these posts are surprisingly missing a very key variable: Size difference. It's very surprising that we all understand fight mechanics when in the ring but apparently not on the...

    Jab Mechanics

    I've been training Muay Thai for 3 years. As most people who train MT are aware, there are a million different ways to every technique and every person who teaches it will teach it differently. It's fine for me in every strike except the jab as I just can't get my jab where I want it. I have a...

    Explain this Weight Transfer Please

    I'm in Canada too. I figured if I'm going to learn to punch I might as well learn the most effective way for MT and not have to change it later. I do agree that the hands are really there to set up kicks but there's something beautiful in those chitchai strikes and it wouldnt hurt to have some...

    Explain this Weight Transfer Please

    Would you recommend this style to someone who is in the early development stage of their striking in MT? It seems like maybe these punches aren't exactly the most effective for boxing but in MT they tend to stick the punches more and this seems like a better way to do that. I trained boxing...

    [Muay Thai] Pain in foot when kicking

    Right and that's exactly my point between my kick and the, what I assume, "proper" thai kick which its with the inside of the shin and thus your instep hits the pad. I hit with the front of my shit and therefore the top of my foot hits the pad leading to the damage done to my ligament I assume..

    [Muay Thai] Pain in foot when kicking

    Yes I have the manlet issue at 5'6 so when I kick at 2 Thai pads side by side my whole shit and my whole foot hits the pads. Most of the force goes to my shin but some still goes to my foot and that's where the issue lies. Not sure how to kick with the inside of the shin, probably something I...

    [Muay Thai] Pain in foot when kicking

    As title says.. I have an issue with kicking pads. It's been around 5 months now. When I kick the bag or do literally anything else I have 0 pain. But as soon as I kick the pads, because of how wide 2 pads side by side are when someone is holding them for me, my foot (as well as shin) hits the...

    Who is the hardest puncher in MMA and kickboxing history?

    You're gonna ask about punchers but not include boxing? Not sure you can ever create a hardest punchers list without Tyson on it.

    GSP confirmed on MMA Hour that his contract states he HAS to defend the title if he wins.

    He doesn't have to do shit. They can't force him to fight he's a contractor. He may win the belt and retire on top once again.. I assume he meant he has to defend it before he fights in another division. Maybe so, but it wouldn't be the first time Dana/Zuffa do whatever the fuck they want.

    Conor isnt coming back to defend the title, you can see it in his body language

    I was on the Conor will never come back to the UFC train for a long time. I made a few posts on this very forum saying he'll never come back as the UFC can't afford him, why fight for $5M when you've fought for $100M, etc. Now, I have a theory I'm fairly confident in: The UFC allowed Conor to...

    Good way to heal ankle injury?

    Caught an elbow with a kick last night and hit the spot where the foot meets the shin bone (aka ankle, lol) and it's ballooned up pretty nice. I have a fight coming up and need to continue training. I can walk, jump, etc. just fine. It's not an ankle injury as far as I can tell, it's just a...

    Toronto presser moved to bigger arena

    Would love two tickets. If you have them to give away that would be great, otherwise I will pay for them if it's something fair. Thanks!

    CBD as a post workout?

    Interesting topic here, it's really starting to pick up and that especially seems to be true from all the fighters being sponsored by CBD companies (Nate Diaz, Joe Valtellini comes to mind but there are quite a few now). Would love to see some scientific evidence to claims of reductions in...

    [Muay Thai] How to stop backing up while sparring?

    This diagram, as simple as it is, really helped me so thank you. I was doing step 2 but not step 3, or going straight to step 3. I just tried it and it makes perfect sense how it should be done. I'm gonna practice the shit out of this step. Did 90min of light sparring yesterday practicing some...
