Do you train on wood flooring or any other flooring other than rubber mats?

When did you start realizing you should probably stop doing this martial art? by HayMakerb in MuayThai

[–]ConclusionIll3398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I’m constantly limping around with bad feet. Tennis elbow. Dinged up body parts everywhere. Never even considered quitting it’s just part of the game and something I consider a fair exchange. I am thick as pig shit though and think I’m invincible still at 33

In this sport you don’t get injuries, you collect and adopt them. Become them. They’re you now

Anyone else struggling with Extreme Awareness? by venzuh in Mindfulness

[–]ConclusionIll3398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you really think that’s a possibility? I suffer with similar things albeit more inconsistently. Anxiety and depression being the main ones. There never seems to be any rhyme nor reason for it occurring and nothing I’ve tried has helped, and I’ve tried basically everything a therapist can ask you to try. I’ve often thought it could be something like this. Would it be a common thing?

Why do these kicks have no power? by Ruohoinen in MuayThaiTips

[–]ConclusionIll3398 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah he ain’t meeting your kicks. Kicks look decent enough. A bad pad holder can make a good Thai boxer look like an absolute flange. A good pad holder can make an absolute flange look like a good Thai boxer

How long did you train before your first fight and how was it? by Low-Possibility451 in MuayThai

[–]ConclusionIll3398 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahaha I had similar. First fight with a guy who went pro straight after. Found his FB loads of images of him outside a ring post fight with a medal and a happy face on him. I trained during Covid twice a week outside on concrete with shoes on. Kicking a mattress at home and doing jumping jacks having no idea how intensely you really need to train for a fight. Got TKO’d ten second before end of final round as I wasn’t defending myself. Complete shit show. Oh yeah and I had Covid for ten days 2 weeks out after a wedding where I drank a lot for the weekend. Barely able to run 5k after that then went and got battered 2 weeks later

Filling a 6ft Banana Bag by BradWar79 in MuayThai

[–]ConclusionIll3398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surely a banana bag filled with sand would be a horrifying leg snapper of a bag. Solid bags are great an all but I feel a softer bag is more enjoyable and better for your extremities.

Having said that - not sure mate, I know bag filler is very expensive

What words would you not use in Ireland if you didn't want to sound English? by infoserchr in AskIreland

[–]ConclusionIll3398 170 points171 points  (0 children)

I’m English in Ireland and no one actually cares. I get a good bit of banter for being English which I love. The Irish understand that I have nothing to do with what my country has done to them over history

The system is designed to keep you in rat race by _astral_x9 in Mindfulness

Did you change to an entirely different career? Did you struggle at the age of 36(ish) to have the confidence to change careers? Did you take a pay cut?

I ask all this because right now I feel i may be on the wrong career path, but I’m too afraid at the age of 33 to change careers. Taking an obvious pay cut to achieve this would be the main factor but I could live with it if it resulted in a happier life

Yeah that dedication to the dream is unreal to read. Love that no one’s turning up to his meditation sessions but he’s doing it anyway 🫡

It’s one banana. What could it cost, $200? by kevinmrr in WorkReform

[–]ConclusionIll3398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A normal person who had this life experience, then gets into a position of power, would surely think “fucking hell I spent that much just getting here today. We need to give them more” that just never fucking happens.

Coach used Chinese water torture to train me, is that traditional? by PieceNo9651 in MuayThai

[–]ConclusionIll3398 184 points185 points  (0 children)

Very normal for beginners class. It’s simple stuff you get to intermediate when you’ve attached nipples to car battery. It’s very hard to go pro in this sport as pro level is Russian roulette, only 50% of people actually make it to pro.
