Kickboxing/K-1/Muay Thai FAQ

[Muay Thai Guy]

oh by the way

If you are very serious about the sport and wanna really get a head start, have you thought of going to Thailand to train for a short while?

You'll be fighting soon then and getting excellent training. You might have to get your weight down to 145 but with 6-8 hours of training a day in intense heat, I'm sure you can manage that

hey! thanks for the encouragement guys, i know rome wasn't built in a day, so i guess patience and perseverance are one of the main factors here, i would love to train in thailand but it wouldn't be possible because of responsibilities, i'm satisfied with my trainer right now, for me, he is good, i guess you can see that in people, once they start talking to you and explain how things are done, you see a connection between the things he teaches you, i think a good teacher is the one who inspires his/her students to do more even without saying a single word of inspiration, which means that everything comes from the heart naturally.

i just had training awhile back, one question about shins again, he he he, when you say train your shins to be stronger, well this means that you develop muscles above the shin bones, right? well i've developed that kind of muscle already, my question is, should you develop the whole shin area of your leg? i mean from the instep to the knee area, 'coz the only muscled part that i see right now is the area near my knees.

 

[Muay Thai Guy]

Don't really think u can build muscle all around the shin but there's a clump of muscle on the outer side of the shin when you block point your toes up and this will tense the muscles up

As for shin conditioning
it's more a case of deadening nerves and getting used to the pain

The pain is beautiful, just keep saying that to urself

 

[Jackass]

Oh...ok, thanks!

Can't wait to see ur av!

 

[Muay Thai Guy]

Sagat is a cool mofo but i never liked him
I was awesome with Ken!

We had this challenge between my friends and cousins who could win most street fighter fights, I won 50 in a row then everyone gave up!

Gentle_Fist I just checked the admin cp and it seems that you are already registered and have gone throught the email verification. I went and had the system resend you your info to the email addy you used to register with us. Let me know if it works and we appologize for the inconvenience.
