    Thai Clinch Grip Question

    What ever hand is on the bottom is generally the direction that you'd be pulling their head in. Let's say your right hand is on the bottom generally it's easier to pull their hand that way, wrap hand around his head over to his right ear, thatll give you the leverage you need. It's not always...

    For anyone who uses Namman Liniment

    When you apply, don't be cheap, use lots of it, and when you massage it into your muscles, rub really fast. This will warm your muscles up, and help loosen anything that is stiff. Then start working out. It'll stay warm for quite a while as you work out. If you don't start working out right away...

    MT: Clinching a taller opponent

    I am in the same boat as you. I am 5'6 and 160 lbs. I am told to stay away from the clinch as well. Taller opponents will have leverage on you, also if you go for the clinch your arms are uphigher as well as your body is out stretched which leaves you open and very vulnerable to knees to the...

    Fights getting cancelled.

    My last fight, my opponent pulled out a half hour before our fight! He said he had a back spasm and couldnt fight. I was not impressed to say the least. I have no idea if he was being honest or not. But I took a.week off then went back to training and fought a month later. It's always a crappy...

    Fun boxing drills for young boxers.

    My suggestion is similar to the sock drill. My suggestion is a clothes pin drill. You are partnered up, each person has a clothes pin pinned to each shoulder. In a squared off area, the object is to grab one of your partners clothes pins from his shoulder while trying not to get your taken...

    Muay Thai ankle supports ?

    Becasue of an old injury, I just use one. I find it helps keep my ankle warm, and also gives it some support. I had fairtex ones for the longest time, but last time I bought a cheap one from Walmart, which was 1/3 of the price and it works just the same.

    Question about a training technique seen at my gym

    I think that it does have training benefits. At my gym (muay thai) we use thai pads to slam into each others stomach as we do sit ups, or we punch each others stomach. We also will do medicine ball drops onto our stomachs while doing situps. I think that it helps strengthen the abs, and helps...

    Weight Problem?

    My gym is similar to that as well, for the beginner class they work alot conditioning. That way when you are ready for sparring you don't gas out. The people at my gym that can't keep up for what ever reason, just either go at a slower rate doing less reps, or back out for a bit to catch their...

    How can I improve my teeps? I'm kicking too low..

    Stretch just like alot of the other guys have said, also when you throw your teep make sure your planted leg is straight, don't bend your knee., bring your knee up high before pushing your foot out, and don't lean forward, lean your body backward, that will keep your head out of the way in case...

    can you get cauliflower from striking?

    Yuppers it can.. my headgear spun once while sparring so I turned it back, when I did my ear was flipped over, and sure enough I took a good kick to that side of my head, and my ear swelled up pretty good for a while. But it has also happened by just taking a good shot to an ear as well.

    Amateur Muay Thai

    I think it all depends on how you far you come in your training. Everyone is different, learn at different rates. For myself I trained for 2 years before I fought. But alot of people that I knew fought well before that, usually around a year of training. How long have you been training for...

I love to watch muay thai, I constantly look up different fights...

    How to achieve incredible leg kicks?

    I throw them like that at the end of the combination, when I am really putting power into it... they are very easy to see coming, throw a bunch of punches to his face getting them on the defensive and hopefully taking a step back, with their hands up covering their head and wham! leg kick!

    How to achieve incredible leg kicks?

    with the correct form you can get quite a bit of distance, make sure you are leaning back, but you should be throwing the kick as part of a combination, you can throw it on it's own but if you do it more than a couple times your opponent will start to see it coming and will be countering it too...
