i am heading down to sinbi muay thai gym with another fellow forumer ,jsandti, for the month of december. is anyone keen on coming with us?

hi.. i'm a girl, 22, haven't done muay thai before, but i am interested in trying out...
i've searched online and found these few muay thai academies in phuket to be more popular...

1)tiger muay thai
2)dragon muay thai
3)sinbi

can anyone recommend which is better?
for starters, how long should i stay since i'm totally new to muay thai? 1 month? i'm actually considering 3 months.. a bit too much?

and ANYONE WANNA GO PHUKET TRAIN???
at least have a fellow singaporean and take care of one another?

hmm these few months (sept - nov)

hi people, i am going to thailand phuket next month for a week or so to train. anyone wanna join in ?=))

I have got a pair of traditional black iron cast kettlebells for sale at $120. New ones will cost you about $180

Looks almost new!

I can send to your home or gym if you buy before June 27th cuz I will be away after that.

PM me for pictures as I do not know how to load pics on the forum

Hey,need some help here..seen videos of people do their kicks really fast and the power seems to be consistent..How fast? 40sec 60 kicks,seen a kid do 10 kicks in 5sec..how can i kick dat fast? Is it the recoil from the kicks? Is it the years of training? There must be some technique i guess.

Hi guys! We all know the effectiveness of martial sports in anaerobic conditioning, but how will this undisputed champ fair in muscle building, though?

My friend really need this piece of information to decide whether to join me or not. May i please suggest all interested nak muays post what they think of the art as a muscle building work out? Thank you(:

hi,
I'm wondering is there any other way to be really good at skipping apart from practice, practice and more practice?

I do endurance runs and hit the gym regularly for weight training but i just can't skip for more than 2 minutes non-stop. I know if i make a point to skip everyday i will be able to skip continuously for 5min one day but what i don't understand is despite me being so active in sports i can't achieve what i think i should be achieving at this point.

HAs anyone being thru this same stage as me? Any advice?

WOAH! After not training for 3 weeks due to an overseas trip and not feeling well after the trip, i feel very very heavy going back into the gym today (9/01/2010). I almost puke twice while doing pad works hahah. Was in a really bad shape. Maybe also because im a dummy and ate before the training. hahaha! so lesson learnt, do not eat before training. maybe just an energy bar or a banana. Tomorrow's another day in the gym. Need my rest.

And Im out....

how about tat?

Hi all! Today's my first ever MT lesson, so I'm pretty much a noob here....

When we were punching the heavy bags with the gloves on, my wrists hurts real bad whenever the punches connected. Is it normal or am I doing something wrongly? Or maybe I'm getting too old for this......

After some months of training , my leg showed varicose veins! Anyone have the same problem? any ways of treating the varicose veins ?

hi.. i have problem doing multiple kicks on pads.. the problem is sometime i can do multiple kicks but sometime i just cant find the rhythm.. i dont know why.. any advise to improve on this area?

Finally managed to got my butt dragged to the gym again! I tell you, worst than not training at all is to take long breaks between the training sessions.
The start wasn't good anyway.
When I was about to do some skipping the class already started to do the stretching part I told to myself: "now I'm being really lazy". That's 'cause I was chatting with my old gym mates whom I haven't see them for a long time and time just flew by.  Read more »»

i know conditioning the body is a very important phase in Muay Thai, so i was wondering wat a some of the exercises u guys do to increase endurance and strength outside the normal training of kicking pads and bags?

I think my reflexes are bad. Anything I can do to improve?

how to train the power of my push kick..i realise i am ok in other areas but my push kick just cannot make it.. and how to be kick faster in consecutive kicking on pads..

Some of you may have been following the section of my blog which is dedicated to giving exposure to the various Muay Thai camps in Thailand. I've been trying to mix in the bigger camps like Lanna, Tiger, and Jitti with smaller camps like Phuket Dragon, and also this months feature camp, Koh Tao Island Muay Thai. There are a lot of things that make this camp unique. Here's a link to the article: http://dansmuaythaimma.com/?p=2445  Read more »»

How's everyone doing! I've been so busy with school and all and I haven't been training for past half a year

I've got a plan to continue Muay Thai after I lose some weight (I've lost 5kgs so far!) and build some stamina... Just waiting for my 3months school holidays to start.. grrr... I can't wait to put my gloves back on!!!

How come there haven't been any big fights lately? The last big fights we saw was last year's S-1 and Contender Asia... but it's been so long since... are there any big fights coming up in the local scene?

Hope everyone's doing well!!
