Hey guys,

Have bought a pair of twins pads with a friend, and we're looking for more people to join us in training. Pads are sitting in my home in Ang Mo Kio so we'll train around the area here.

If anyone's interested in hitting pads and light sparring in the open, we'll be glad to get to know you.

Drop me a message at 96904172! Edwin here.

Cheers!

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 !!!

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

hi.. i'm a girl, 22, haven't done muay thai before, but i am interested in trying out...

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?
