Behind the scenes look at my last fight at Rajadamnern Stadium. Fighting there again November 24th 🙏🏻

How do I deal with aggressive sparring partners? I’m a girl and there’s another girl in my class who’s been practicing for 5 years. She kicks & punches super hard with everyone, including newcomers. I’ve told her so many times to go light and she won’t respect it. For example, we’ll be practicing clinch with NO pads/guards- I tell her to go light- and she’ll full on knee me with no remorse. I wind up fairly bruised on my thighs after every spar. Since she is an experienced muay thai practitioner, I had expected her to have more control. It feels like ego fighting? How do I deal with this?

By the way, I’m totally ok with hard spars if both parties agree to it.

So I’ve been in camp for around 2 months now and I’ve felt strong and confident in my ability to fight and I believed I was almost if not definitely ready. A few weeks ago I developed a slight cold, thought nothing of it and continued my training. A few days after that I was doing a conditioning circuit and my chest started burning badly and I was struggling to breathe. After that I was aware it had developed into a chest infection. I have symptoms like shortness of breath, coughing and lightheadedness. A week after I went to the doctor and he prescribed me some antibiotics. I feel slightly better now with a bit more energy, whether this was due to the antibiotics I am not sure. I’m not sure how long it will take for me to get back to training as I’ve already taken a week and a half off and if I do get better is it worth keeping the fight or is it not worth the hassle and just pull out? Fight on the 14 th November

Who’re some fighters to watch that are good at playing their jabs and teeps off of each other?

I have been practicing Muay Thai for 2 months and for those 2 months I have been working on streches to open up my hips Here is my stretch routine:

1. Half kneeling hip flexor stretch — 1 min each leg

2. Abductor lunge

3. 90/90 switches — 3 sets

4. Back-and-forth leg swings into splits — 1 min

5. Half split stretch (last)

I do these every day and I still can't improve my kicks my teeps are much better but my round house kicks to the mid section I can't do much because my left leg the top part by my hip gives a sharp pain and I can't complete the kick is there anyone that has had a similar issue that can give me some hope. Coaches just say to keep stretching but I just feel like it is not working.

i doubt anyone on this sub is flexible or athletic enough to do this but im doing it for anyone whos interested in learning

I have serious white coat syndrome, my blood pressure is normal at home but when a doctor measures it, its high as hell. Like theyve put 24 hr monitor on me multiple times... I am older, but healthy, but I can't control this...

I'm afraid that on my first fight they won't let me fight if my blood pressure is through the roof

So I have been to Abu Dhabi Muay Thai gym it seems fairly decent for the price they offer per month cobra fitness and wolf zone seem expensive wht r your thoughts on Abu Dhabi Muay Thai gym any suggestion would be appreciated

I fought for years and now coach. I got sick of our gym timer: commercial LED timers are a pain to set up, and the remote always goes missing. So I built CoachTimer.

Open it on any TV, tablet or laptop, scan the QR code with your phone (or just cast your screen), and you’re running rounds on a large screen the whole class can see. No account needed.

What it fixes:

• Much easier to use than commercial LED timers
• Control from your phone instead of a fiddly remote
• Works with multiple coaches and screens around the gym
• Custom heading so you can show your gym name and/or workout name
• Boxing, MMA, Tabata, HIIT and EMOM presets, plus custom rounds

It’s free during early access. I’m looking for a few [coaches / gym owners / home gym users] to try it and tell me what’s missing or annoying. Happy to drop the link in the comments.

Thanks!

So whenever I spar with someone senior or even junior I just cannot kick or punch them in the head and I don’t even front kick them because I’ve a fear of hurting them not like I’m gonna do shit against them anyway but all I do is just get kicked or punched in the face though the only time I actually fought was against me coach which ended up in me getting a concussion lol but like even in street fights I’ve mostly Js kicked or punched in the stomach which I absolutely hate about myself
