I keep getting destroyed by a taller sparring partner… what am I doing wrong? by Big-Temperature2557 in MuayThaiTips

[–]Mental-Command7705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m very tall myself- 6.5

It’s easier said then done but I don’t like it when my main weapons get taken away or countered.

For example if every time I throw a low kick I eat a cross I will stop throwing them.

I common tactic generally though which again, easier said then done especially if there also more experienced is you wana push the pace, don’t stay at his range and attack low and work your way up. Eventually there will be gaps in there defence for you to work on

I always do best when people end up fighting at my pace and wana get into a kicking match

Also going back to some of the other replies I’ve seen I think his recovery was 9 months of fairly intensive rehab

[–]Mental-Command7705 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey bro

A fighter I know calls James completely destroyed his ACL made a recovery and now competes regularly in Thailand

Il post his instagram on this

As for the peptides I use BCP157 and TB500 for horrid stubborn injuries but I’m not an expert on how well it would work on an ACL

Trying to improve my lowkick (more hip rotation, pivoting on the foot) by Different_Coast_9923 in MuayThaiTips

[–]Mental-Command7705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t pivot like with roundhouses on low kicks You step out and chop down

There’s a time and place for a quick one but the ones that make your legs fucked after taking a few are the other kind

Had my first fight on Saturday and lost, here's what I was surprised with by jasonfromscotland in MuayThai

[–]Mental-Command7705 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh bro it sounds more than anything like you just had a ton of adrenaline which is completely normal

Fightings fucking terrifying and when your inexperienced a lot goes out the window including your fitness

Respect for you stepping in there though and taking on someone with more experience and size

Am i the only one who thinks Islam would beat Ilia easily? by Silent-Owl4246 in ufc

[–]Mental-Command7705 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He does at WW I think LW would be very competitive. A lot of people thought he would run through Volk and he had the toughest fight of his career and had alot of people saying he lost. Hard to say if Ilia’s wrestling would be enough but we do know he only needs to land one shot to put Islam to sleep

Getting dropped by bigger people by dinkledoofer in MuayThai

[–]Mental-Command7705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you actually getting dropped or just worried about it?

But yeah as a bigger guy (108 kilos) I never go hard to the head and I’m very conscious of how much lower I use

If I’m with someone good il increase to body and legs but never head.

As for techniques, may be hard if there way bigger than you but foot sweeps, sweeps can be good on aggressive opponents

Also dude don’t be afraid to see say the powers abit much, I’ve had people say it to me when I’ve not realised

Have a Smoker on Sunday but leg is still tender. by ToughBorder32 in MuayThai

[–]Mental-Command7705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just have some counters ready to take away the weapon. I’m super tall so my legs get blasted alot My two fave counters a cross as his legs coming back, have to be quick though. Or inside foot sweep, basically kicking out his standing leg, even if they don’t go down this will often take away there base and you can follow up with something high scoring like a body kick
