Hey everyone, A Muay Thai rules question for you. I recently started Muay Thai as a way to get back into pad work and sparring after a few years off for various reasons, given a lack of clubs nearby that offered a strong focus on Sanda/sparring with kung fu. Obviously some of the techniques...

I do Krav Maga, but we do training that much more closely reflects kickboxing/karate as opposed to the usual knife/gun defense stuff that Krav has ill reputation for. I'm good with my knees and elbows, and I've got a decent ground game. I've been practicing martial arts since April of this year...

Hi guys, I've recently started training in muay thai, finishing my forth lesson tonight, and have been going twice a week to beginner classes that teach you the basics of the sport. Im not really looking to compete or even spar at the moment but wanted to take up muay thai to improve both my...

Greetings. I live in the North Bay Area (Marin County) and train in Santa Rosa, at Phas3 gym. The drive for me is an hour and a half each way and my schedule doesn't allow me more than 2 to 3 training sessions at Phas3. So, I often use the heavy bag by myself. I like to train 6 days a week...

So I've got my first Thai Sak Yant tattoo "Eight Directions" on my left arm and I've decided to write a post about yantra tattooing. Sak Yant is more than just a tattoo. It has over 2000 yo traditions and it is deeply rooted in the Buddhist religion. All Sak Yant patterns are also aesthetically...

This may be a stupid question, but will your bones stay conditioned after years of not conditioning? Let's say you can take a lot of force with your shins, will it stay?

Hey everyone, I'm looking to get into a martial art and have narrowed it down to KM and MT. I want to learn for self defense, but also for improved fitness, confidence, and discipline. At first I was set on KM, but I've read different opinions on how it isn't effective because you don't spar...

what would you say would work best for a street fight, and don't just say whatever you train in lol really thing like take things from other arts and put them together to make the best art

I use this drill with my students and in my own training. I found it really good for reading the movement of my opponent. As its a safe drill beginners like it and they learn the motion of blocking in addition to being kicked at full speed. It would be interesting to see how practitioners...

I have taught Karate and Muay Thai for many years and this drill has been really successful in teaching students different ways to use leg kicks. The routine is 5 separate kicks put together in one flow drill. As it incorporates angles you can work in safe entry and exit from each move. You can...

Hello! I have been doing muay thai for almost 10 months now, I pratice like 5 times per week atleast and sparr. I think I would have a good chance of beating someone in a streetfight who doesnt have any MA experince but I am not sure. My question to you is how well do you think someone like me...

You've probably heard already that Yod Fairtex has retired from pro fighting at the age of 31. I really liked his style and I was surprised that he has retired so soon. He is like 4 years younger than Buakaw but he had a painful knee injury that enabled him to fight at a pro level. No matter...

I have done American kickboxing year and a half, here in Norway. My head coach of this kickboxing club does not have a lot of resources for its kickboxing fighters. When it comes to kickboxing glory or any other big organizations because we are member of WAKO. There are many rules and...

Hello guys, I'm thinking about picking a martial art, mainly for self-defense purposes. I'm a gay guy, and although my country is pretty tolerant, there are always those who want to cause harm to others simply for being different. I would like to be able to defend myself. I was given advice...

There is no modern MMA without Thai Kickboxing. Low kicks, elbow and knee strikes are integral parts of Mixed Martial Arts. Stand up striking in the UFC is just Muay Thai and Western Boxing of course with some marginal amount of other martial arts. My point is that while there's a lot of boxing...

Any suggestions on finding the best Muay Thai gyms in Thailand? I have about 2 years experience (2-3 hours a week) in the US (California). There are so many mixed reviews it's hard to decide.

I have always loved to strike, and recently taken up muay thai and boxing as a side dish to BJJ. I have chronic illness (lupus) and nearly 3 months out of chemo and radio therapy for another illness (breast cancer) and i want to get as strong and fit as my body will allow me so that i'll be in...

Hello I'm a middle schooler trying to figure out which martial arts to learn (and also I could learn more efficiently during winter break that just began). I have a boxing area that is really close to me, and isn't much of a problem walking to. However I've heard that Muay thai could be a better...

So i've been doing muay thai for 2 years now, and i recently joined the competitive group and i'm getting destroyed by everyone. My punches are useless they block absolutely everything the only thing i can do is kick and when i do kick they just punch me in the stomach or in the face. There are...

Hello everyone, I've been wanting to do a sport for a long time now, and martial arts really stood out to me, specifically Thai Boxing or Muay Thai. Purely for self defence, perhaps competition later on. So I looked around for some Muay Thai schools near me and found a few good ones. I will...
