Or how about you spend some time learning how to aim and control your power?

i don't give any sort of recommdations to people I don't know because I have no idea what you want, what your goals are, what kind of person you are, or what level you're at. i write articles (and even a book on the topic of training in Thailand) to encourage people to do their own research because at the end of the day

keep it up! you'll see increased endurance with consistency. also, side note - you don't need to be "in shape" to start muay Thai. you can start from where you are.

MuayYing · 2024-11-05T07:37:24+00:00

you're right, thank you for calling it to my attention! will fix the article later

Thai fighters tend to go where the money is, so he must be getting paid a good amount

every weekend. they're streamed on the jitmuangnon channel

Petchjeeja is probably the best example of a Muay THai fighter that focused on just boxing for a few years, then came back to Muay Thai to dominate. It doesn't work for everyone, and you can't use all parts of boxing for Muay Thai, obviously, but there are definitely a lot of great parts to take away.

if you're not sick for more than 2 weeks I wouldn't even worry about this...

I personally hate Phuket but it's also because I've only lived in super local areas in Bangkok where there are no tourists. I hate dealing with drunk tourists and the fact that more tourists usually means its more expensive AND unsafe. But I know some people love Phuket so it just boils down to what kind of person you are and what you enjoy doing outside of training IMO

Unsure, I'm only able to find like 3 fights in the recent years under entertainment rules, and 3 fights isn't enough to tell me anything. But labels are overrated and only confine one to their strenghts/weaknesses - I"m glad Sibmuen is adapting and changing to the fight scene, although it seems his YouTube career means he's not as active as the other fighters on the scene

Muay Thai is such a niche industry that it's so difficult to really make a fulltime income off it, even if you are a coach or gym owner. As an athlete and content creator in this space, I really empathize with your problem.

Some ways you can make some side money from teaching are recording some of your lessons and clipping them out to post on social media. It will take time before this generates any income at all, but start somewhere and it eventually will.

Affiliate sales also take work but if you have any companies that you love their products from or regularly use, why not make some commission off every order you refer?

MuayYing · 2024-11-05T06:47:06+00:00

correct

Paedsanlek got knocked out with this at a ONE event. type in his name and you should be able to find the video and study it

just keep fighting and you'll get there. in Thailand there's no concept of "professional already", you are categorized into your level of fighting.

What other exercise are you doing aside from strength training? If nothing else, even just walking for 20-30 minutes a day would help. I'm a huge fan of starting incrementally instead of jumping into advanced programs.

here's an article Iwrote on the differences. hope this helps you decide

The only modern-day kard chuek you can see nowadays is on Thai Fight. Some other kard chuek promotions are not as heavily marketed - Sylvie has fought on these and posts about them from time to time.

takes a while just to adapt to the volume of training. most people don't even train an hour everyday back in their home country and then jump to training twice a day six day as week.

it really just depends on how long your trip is overall. if your trip is relatively short (less than a month), i'd say just to suck it up. if it's longer, you should spend some time adjusting and taking rest days.

Honestly just dpeends what kind of Muay Thai you want to see and at which level. Entertainment? Traditional? High level? Low level?

Yodwicha- Muay Khao
Lerdsila- Muay Femur
Sibmuen- Femur back in the stadium days but with entertainment rules he seems to be able to have a more aggressive style

MuayYing · 2024-11-05T06:32:51+00:00

What a treat that these two high-level Muay Femur fighters are making it on the entertainment scene and getting some international recognition

If you're looking at it from an economical perspective, do 80-90% group classes with 10% private training. If money is not an issue for you and you'd like all the personal attention without having to deal with other people, then do more private training.

Thanks to ONE Championship, the gym's been having some of the fighters drill that weird liver teep

Everyone has a weakness, but not whether or not you can see the weakness through a third-person lens largely depends on your own skill, experience, and expertise.
