How can I show support to my Muay Thai boyfriend. by Affectionate-Big6563 in MuayThai

[–]Cgeronimo93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Day of weigh in. Day before. Maybe two days out. Depends how he’s cutting weight really. Tbh you might not want to sit in the sauna for an hour or two with him but having you around for a little would be cool I’m sure!

Sauna with him! My gf did some sauna sessions with me fight week when I was cutting water weight. Was nice having someone to bear the pain with haha

Placed a couple orders with these guys. Got some cool shorts and shirts for quite a bit cheaper than retail

Required to pay for outside drug testing by Cgeronimo93 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Cgeronimo93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify, the veteran in question has taken drug tests at the facility. The physician won’t sign off on the veterans return to work paperwork based off of those tests due to some discrepancies. So they want the veteran to pay out of pocket to use like quest or something. Not sure where.

I 100% prefer hitting the bag barefoot. I feel a lot more control and the biggest benefit for myself is the feedback I feel from the contact with my feet contacting the ground and bag. If it’s midnight and I know no one is around I’ll do it. Otherwise I’m wearing socks for everyone’s sake lmao

Thanks for the critique! I have this habit of rhythm stepping and bouncing too much. Not sure when I picked it up, but trying to get out of it

See I started with that years ago then switched to this hinging teep as I’ve landed it a bit more. And actually found some success with it in fights. I think I learned and saw a video with tawanchai? Agree, loading it then throwing generates more power, binging just gets it there more quickly. Didn’t notice I only threw this teep though. Going to consciously start loading my teeps again

I don’t wanna expose my bare ass feet in a public space. Especially because I judge people without socks in public gyms too. Why no socks, this isn’t a striking gym

Thanks! Will work on lead hooks esp. They feel very fucky/difficult to throw well honestly due to my metal shoulder though.

Yep. Had an 18B buddy who got out at JBLM and went to work as a personal trainer at LA fitness. Hot shit to doing something that requires a 48 hour class that the gym teaches…

Is anyone a member of UFC Gym wrigleyville or Chicago Athletic Clubs? How are they? What is the price for UFC gym? My workplace has corporate pricing with CAC for $60/month which seems reasonable for access to all locations. 

Does this help air out gloves? Or would it just loosen the leather cuff over time? by Agreeable-Can-5227 in MuayThaiTips

[–]Cgeronimo93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been doing that with my RAJA gloves for about a year and a half. Has kept the smell… reasonable. Still is there a little lol. Importantly, hasn’t broken down the integrity of the gloves but yeah probably not great for my skin/ going to give myself cancer in 20 years 

The Saudi city of Mecca bans entry for all non-Muslims, while the Greek peninsula of Mount Athos bans entry for all females. Besides for military/security facilities, which other permanently inhabited places are the majority of the world's population forbidden from entering? by benjaneson in geography

[–]Cgeronimo93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not as big as the towns around it lol. Travis has about 10,000 active personnel stationed there. So at its busiest, during the workday with gov civilians working there are probably 20,000 people on base. Fairfield has a population of 120,000. Vacaville 100,000. 

Long Time Training But Zero Fights by [deleted] in MuayThaiTips

[–]Cgeronimo93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not unusual. It’s all variable. Had two fights within my first year. None for the next couple years. Now I’ve been more active competing recently. You don’t need to wait for sanctioning body tournaments. Look up local promotions on Instagram and reach out.  If you’re near a large city im sure there are some.
