I am in Thailand and will be working on a boat in Singapore for the next 3 months. Are there any traditional Thai boxing places in rural areas. I am training at Diamond Muay Thai on Koh Phangan. I don't really want to be confined to training inside again but want to be in the open air... check what i mean.. http://www.diamondmuaythai.com/ I will be at Raffles Marina but will have access to a car. Thanks

Hello fellow nakmuays

I am looking for an effective Conditioning Oil/Conditioning Balm, as I do a lot of conditioning during training. Very often, those parts will be painful to touch after that for days, up to a week. I am aware that the Muay Thai shop does sell a type of Boxing Oil, not sure how effective it is Wondering why some Oil/Balm contain alcohol though

Any one has their favourite "legendary" Conditioning Oil/Balm to recommend me ???

Thanks a lot !!!

Anyone keen to share on their typical daily training routine ?
eg. running ?? km, followed by skipping ?? mnutes, etc.

My alternate day training routine is as followed
Running: 2.4km
Skipping: 15 minutes
Boxing bag @ home hooked to the ceiling : 5 x 3 minute rounds of punching & kicking, with 1 minute rest
knees : 100
front kicks : 100
thai kicks : 100
sit up : 100

Anybody have any idea on how to train our fist, like example punch the sand at the beach or ??

Oh, today's training is tiring didn't know that every time i train it gets harder and tougher...

feel free about how you feel and how your training today

I've been Muay Thai for close to 5 months but my i can't execute a proper roundhouse and i mean kicking with the bottom part of the shin and not with the joint connecting the shin to feet nor the feet.
Whenever i hit the bag, my joint/ feet will hit the bag too and i think this shouldn't be the way right? It's having an impact on the joint
Same goes to the thai pad, i always feel the impact on my feet and not my shin

I can't chop across/ down the thai pad too.
The kicks are more like a diagonal kick..  Read more »»

Is Bag Glove About THe Same As Trainning Glove?? I Accidentaly Brought One Bag Glove And Wonder Will Ppl Use It For Trainning?? Please Help Ty

Hi, need some advice. I'm getting only 1 bag for training at home. What bag should I get? A heavy bag or a 6ft banana bag?

TIA

I know those fighters in Thai train their shin in the past by kicking those tree trunks and for modern fighters, by bags.
Maybe there are still people who toughen their shin by kicking the trunks now, i don't know. :/

Well.. I have heard of people (kid-fighter-wannabe) saying they toughen their shin by using metal rods to hit their shin continually..
Does it work this way? Does it actually work?

Couldn't find an appropriate sub forum to post this but anyone had an elbow injury or ligament strain in the elbow before?
If so, have you fully recover from it ever since?
How did it recover?

I had a bad break-fall during my wrestling training last novemember and worsen it during another training session..
It has since recovered a lot but i still can't really do strenuous activities like gymming or push ups

so yeah, i got a 4ft fairtex punching bag from some shop in haji lane. but its empty. the guy told me to fill it in with clothes that i dont wanna use. but i cant possibly fill up the huge punching bag with clothes. thats gonna cost me a lot of clothes mann. so any ideas on how to fill up my punching bag?

Hi peeps..i have been experiencing this weakness in both of my knees for the past one month, initially it started after a very serious diarroea thn when i proceed for my training after feeling better..my nightmare started.

Initially i cant climb up stairs, i need assistance in going up the stairs and i could not even walk properly, i even fell down to my knees a couple of time..so i went for accunpunture..after that..it became slightly better but cramps on my calves begin..it is so terrible that i take 15 mins to walk a 5 min distance from my house to the bus stop to work.  Read more »»

Well, training has been fine so far but when i execute my round house, somehow i feel that what im doing is more of a diagonal kick or something.
Have highlighted it to my coach and he has corrected me and all but i still feel im doing it wrongly.
Yes, practice make perfect but im hoping to hear some opinions from the seniors here.

Coach told me when one execute the round house, they will rotate the hips and shoulder and sort of lean back when kicking.
Can someone enlighten me on this?
