Kickboxing/K-1/Muay Thai FAQ

[joltan]

i used to ride bmx as a kid, and i have scars all over my shin from wacking my pedal on them. i guess there stronger know, but nothing hurts worse than getting a good wack to your shin

 

[Muay Thai Guy]

yeah i agree joltan

hehe The one thing i really don't want to experience cos i've been told how much it hurts is when two fighters do a head kick at the same time and end up clashing shins

 

[Jackass]

Hey MTG thanks!

Oh, u know what we should post for them? That shin kick video.
OUCH!! Do you still have the link MTG?

 

[Muay Thai Guy]

Yes Fyre, Yes I Do

Warning... Click if you are over 18!

 

[Jackass]

wtf? yeah i saw this vid way back, how and why did this happen? my trainer always tells me the when it's shin to shin it's the one who kicked will receive most of the pain compared to the one who just blocked, is this true?

 

[Muay Thai Guy]

usually true

the reason why he broke his shin when lloyd blocked can be for many reasons but the main one is the angle the kick was thrown at

[joltan]

please tell me that this is a one in a million chance to happen to someone , sure is gonna give someone nightmares, i mean i can take it when i see somebody go down from a hit in the chin or an elbow in the head, but this one freaks me out

btw, i like your article at ironlife, the one where you talked about fear, good one!

[Muay Thai Guy]

[Muay Thai Guy]

A friend of mine from America, Jeff Ford who fought on the K1
Anyway he fought in Moscow a few years ago against a russian oponent
He was a journey man then and needed a corner man so my friend and first person to teach me Muay Thai, Sandy Holt offered to corner him
Anyway in round 1 Jeff through a right hook and it hit his oponents nose so hard that his nose literally ended up on the side of his face, bone, sinew and cartilage was poking out of the poor russians face. Jeff was physically sick when he took a peek at his floored oponent

Also in the Uk, MMA competitor Ross Petifer scored the quickest win in history in the UK
He basicall blocked a low kick and his oponents shin broke in half!
There's a video of that floating on the net too but it has been taken off the source where i got it from. If i find it again, i'll let u know

Just Curious

Hey just wondering how many hours a week you would need to train to become a word class muay thai fighter.

 

[Muay Thai Guy]

a word class fighter?
well theres more than training when u wanna get that far hehe
there's a hell of a lot of luck involved too

If you're fighting at the world level then you're gonna wanna put in the commitment and training other fighters at that level put. I have friends who are "World Class" in muay thai. Ole Laursen, Gary Turner, Peter Crooke, Kieren Keddle... They will train 6-8 hours a day, 6 days a week
