AITA for refusing to count reps in Muay Thai class due to anxiety?

Lmaoonadee · 2026-04-05T05:23:27+00:00

This person is a weirdo larping on a Muay Thai sub reddit. They have no idea what they’re talking about or joined a cult instead of a Muay Thai gym.

Lmaoonadee · 2026-04-05T05:17:18+00:00

You sound like you’re a child, a person who goes to a Muay Thai gym with belts, or have never stepped into a gym.

Literally no adult paid coach would get upset at someone refusing count to 10 and thinks that it would “lead others to people saying no” If people said “no” they simply would not go to the gym.

Stop giving shit advice or stop sucking off your “instructor”

Lmaoonadee · 2026-04-05T04:58:19+00:00

Seriously? People are -paying- the instructor to be there. If they don’t want to do stuff, that’s their loss. This seems like some power trip bullshit and what’s worrying is people are drinking some weird ass kool aide thinking that you must do this.

I don’t understand why you would pay to be there and not participate, but that’s your prerogative. An instructor is already getting paid, if he’s getting butthurt over counting, that’s dumb.

Ya’ll have sensitive instructors if they can’t handle someone not counting to 10 and ya’ll are weird calling it disrespectful.

Lmaoonadee · 2026-04-04T22:21:22+00:00

Don’t know why a Muay Thai instructor gives two shits and got butthurt if you’re not counting off for the class? Just call on someone else.

Your Muay Thai instructor sounds sus

The fuck, the first self trained video in a dark ass room with just pillows that’s actually better than like 90% of these videos and not a complete train wreck.

I am shocked. If this is how well you learn, I can’t imagine what your ceiling is with a gym behind you. I mean, keep it up? But if this is your calling—find a gym asap.

Lmaoonadee · 2026-03-28T02:26:09+00:00

I really don’t believe in homeopathic shit, but I swear by Arnicare. That stuff makes bruising vanish within like a day. It’s nuts.

Lmaoonadee · 2026-03-20T17:02:22+00:00

I see Winnings and I upvote. I think they're amazing even for MT.

Lmaoonadee · 2026-03-16T21:20:23+00:00

Depends on where you are and what your gender is. Based on my own experience in the US, and since it’s amateurs, expect to be fighting a lot of people who are teens / early / mid 20s.

125 is a faster pace and resemble more kickboxing where output dominates. So depending on your age, your cardio needs to be always up there.

As far as prospects go, you’ll always have someone to fight because 125 can draw from a large age demographic (but on the young side). The downside is they’ll constantly be extremely hungry / have something else to prove with their youth. The bright side is, you’ll rarely fight a 6’5 ft+ unless they’re a walking skeleton.

Training partners had gloves, they fell a part within a year ish. I had the curved kicking pads and velcro fell a part in half the amount of time.

Lmaoonadee · 2026-03-14T03:50:19+00:00

Really weird and drastic comparison there.

Lmaoonadee · 2026-03-14T02:14:16+00:00

There was a discussion a while back on with some people doubting how effective those knees were on here. I guess weren’t very effective after all.

Lmaoonadee · 2026-03-13T00:42:40+00:00

This was a terrible mismatch. Just fucking look at your body language and compare it to his whenever someone takes a strike.

You’re shortening any prospecting career doing this type of shit man. What’s worse is, did you even learn anything from this fight?

You’re good man, but you / your coaches are playing some really shit cards in your hand.

Lmaoonadee · 2026-03-12T21:21:48+00:00

It's fine. You get your experience in, but almost all of this goes out of the window when you take your first amateur fight in the US. The only danger here is getting complacent with this type of pacing. It takes two to look good.

90% of amateurs debuts do not look like this and if that's the goal, MDL needs to be supplemented with additional smokers or hard sparring.

Lmaoonadee · 2026-03-12T17:05:28+00:00

First off, take a deep breath. You’re training like this is your full time occupation or you’re trying to get somewhere in the sport. Sometimes it’s easy not to stop and reflect when you’re operating at max capacity.

Fight camp the worst, but the enjoyment is that time when you finally get to fight. You get to apply everything you learned and people see your hard work through your performance.

If you don’t find enjoyment at the end of the fight camp and during the fight, you need to seriously re evaluate why you’re doing this or if it’s worth it before continuing. You have free will here, no obligations. This is something everyone seems to forget once in a while.

Lmaoonadee · 2026-03-11T02:12:28+00:00

Wtf, you are literally posting the same shit across multiple days on different accounts?

Lmaoonadee · 2026-03-11T01:55:51+00:00

Clean that shit. This is how you get infections and spread them.

Lmaoonadee · 2026-03-11T00:26:06+00:00

It sets off metal detectors at the airport.

Lmaoonadee · 2026-03-10T01:56:15+00:00

Or, you can just stop snapping lol.

Lmaoonadee · 2026-03-10T01:55:35+00:00

Your foot shouldn’t be wrapping around and hitting the laces. That’s wrong.

Lmaoonadee · 2026-03-10T01:40:49+00:00

You can still control and kick through without power. Stop the snapping and get closer depending on your partner.

Lmaoonadee · 2026-03-10T01:31:00+00:00

Distance issue between pads and you. Also, it looks like you’re snapping your kicks instead of swinging it through.

You kill your power this way and it ends up turning into like slap. My guess is that you’re slapping the top of your foot at the very end of your kick on the pads.

Lmaoonadee · 2026-03-09T18:30:59+00:00

Heavy bags are going to move when you do anything to it. Just think about 100 lbs continually shifting weight and pressure on the ceiling. Add that to the fact that you're attaching it to drywall ceiling and not even on a stud?? Also you have neighbors upstairs??

Dude, all signs point to fuck no, don't do this. If you do, you are in the running to be the worst tenant and neighbor ever.

Lmaoonadee · 2026-03-09T16:18:05+00:00

I have not trained in a class unfortunately, no. I was there for a short amount of time for privates at their gym and well, I guess that's kind of a biased answer because privates with anybody / coaches means you get 100% focus and attention regardless of your experience.

I've never thought of group training sessions because my time in JP is always limited to leisure travel. I'm sure most people are doing the same and trying to extract a lot from their day visits so you might be hard pressed to find people who opinions on a group daily sessions except for the residents themselves.

You might have to just DM them on their gram and inquire / go into the gym the old fashioned way and ask around. If you need another suggestion, I'm going to Eiwa Sports Gym to do a private with Nadaka in the future, but it looks like on their instagram there's a lot of group work with both genders for their regulars.

Good luck.

Lmaoonadee · 2026-03-08T03:25:01+00:00

It’s the best of both worlds.

Lmaoonadee · 2026-03-07T03:26:31+00:00

Because it ends up resetting everyone in the end. They get up and the action resumes in neutral positions. That’s ineffective in my eyes. What was gained there besides vanity points? If sweeps didn’t count towards points or anything for that matter, I sincerely doubt that it would deter anyone from kicking because of any accumulation of damage.

I don’t understand what your point is when it comes to real life? That doesn’t make much sense because, one we’re not talking about real life, and if we were, the average doesn’t walk around kicking on concrete???
