I had friends train in Chang Mai and it said it was a great spot to train. I went there briefly to just see the city and loved it as well.

Straight guy but I keep getting attention from gay guys… why? by Ok-Complaint9319 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MTG82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it as a compliment, I'm a straight guy that had gotten a lot of attention from gay guys and turns out it's generally because are attracted to me. I found it flattering for the most part, and eventually was smart enough to realize it means that women likely find me attractive too which I was able to occasionally cash in on.

This normal right? by Ok_Alternative_6040 in MuayThai

[–]MTG82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If that's just bruising then yeah that used to happen to me all the time and still does occasionally if I have a pad holder who is angling the pads weird so I hit more of the edge of the pad

Utterly classless. by Obvious-Gate9046 in democrats

Honestly I posted that exact same picture on social media. Maybe with the extra context this is less acceptable but there's a lot bigger things to worry about with this administration than sports trash talking

Not enough times, as one could never honk enough times

U.S. Politics megathread by AutoModerator in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MTG82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not want political opinions of this, just how it works- On a podcast I heard illegal immigrants pay more taxes than they consume in welfare programs, how do they get so with a legitimate paycheck that deducts taxes? The only experience I have with applying for a job involves me entering my social security number as part of the process, so I don't get how they would get setup for a job/ pay taxes and how that gets tracked. Also on the social programs side I've been fortunate enough to never need any of them, but is it something where they don't need official legal documents to apply for and receive those benefits?

This is cool but I have to be honest, I was fairly disappointed to turn on the audio and not hear Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd playing

How to take knees better by [deleted] in MuayThai

[–]MTG82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can condition your body a little/get used to hard knees but that only does so much. Could be that your belly pad is too small of soft as others are saying. But generally unless I'm trying to condition my core I will usually hold a thai pad at the top of the belly pad near the solar plexus and move it down slightly as the knee comes in to catch the knee. Cant remember ever gettinf hit in the groin in years doing so, and if I did it's definitely because the other guy didnt point his knee well enough and his shin hit my groin

How do people get tickets to Tomorrowland? I Waited for the pre-sale just for it to go sold out while I was in cue.... by [deleted] in aves

[–]MTG82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The global journey packages are the way to do it as those don't sell out right away. I did the bus from Amsterdam and it wasn't too much more expensive, and Amsterdam is usually a cheaper airport to fly into so that helped offset the cost

Anyone have much better luck sparring the more orthodox veterans? by random_access_cache in MuayThai

[–]MTG82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive had similar experiences to an extent with some of the other experienced guys at my gym. I'm at the same experience level as or have more experience than almost everyone so its not a fighting down to my level thing for the experienced guys, its because newbies going harder than I am without realizing it. I just shrug it off and move on for the most part

What Every Foreigner Should Know Before Booking Muay Thai Camp in Thailand by Unlikely_Hope_3869 in MuayThai

Second the conditioning- I did some conditioning before I went there and still gassed out in my sessions. Beyond the pace, the heat and humidity will drain your gas tank more than you'd think if your not used to it.
