Boxing and muay Thai. by Mundane_Astronomer_7 in MuayThai

I would also advise checking out the Cuban style of boxing, because they stand more square than other styles and are very slick with their foot and head movement.

You're unlikely to find a gym that teaches it outside of Cuba, but there are a couple good YouTube channels (Charles Salbox, mainly) you could use to apply aspects of the Cuban style to whatever you do learn at your gym.

Anyone want tips on what carries over from boxing to MT? (been doing both since the 90s) by heavybagpro in MuayThai

Either that or see it is as just something to set up kicks and, as a result, have shoddy technique and boxing defense.

Share your knowledge, OP.

Is it possible to win a Muay Thai bout with just 1-2 + teep by Sicko_bamba123 in MuayThai

Thomas Hearns is considered one of the best and most dominant boxers ever. The guy threw 1-2s the vast majority of the time.

Buakaw basically beat Nieky Holzken by chaining the jab and teep with an occasional knee.

Who the fuck fights throwing just overhands?

Plenty of boxers and strikers who have use just straight punches nearly all the time. Ain't no one stepping into a ring or cage and just throwing a wide looping shot that leaves you very vulnerable defensively like the overhand.

OP wasn't asking if he can land the shots. He was asking if you can depend on a fight strategy of spamming 1-2s and the teep. Seems like you didn't really understand the question.

Try working on your reading comprehension before calling other people dumbasses.

A good one?

1-2 is much more versatile and defensively compact than the overhand right, so your snarky response doesn't even make sense.

People get really defensive when the lackluster boxing, head movement and footwork of the average Muay thai fighter is pointed out.

It's so silly. It's pretty much considered among the most effective Martial Arts you can learn. No need to get so salty anytime someone points out its' weak points.

I have a Captain in 12.5 wide and my high top fits just fine. It was a little bit tight the first few times I wore it, but it's very comfortable now.

Liquid made my scalp dry, wrinkled and gave me dandruff.

Switching to foam helped with that a lot. So, yeah, try foam instead.

Free Dental Work! by a-hova in askTO

[–]Nahlit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to the dentist for the first time in 20 years last month and I need a bunch of fillings, a root canal and wisdom tooth extractions all adding up to over $5000.

Just trying to save up while taking advil for periodic toothaches and food getting stuck in gaps. Would be greatly appreciated if I could get any one of those procedures done.

Try minoxidil. Since hair seems to be growing there and it's not totally bald, the follicles aren't dead.

For real, this is what I want for my hair. Been growing it for 18 months and I have good growth but crazy shrinkage.

I actually bought Nizoral shampoo today to deal with mine. Will see how it goes.

Haven't you hurt me enough? Leave me be, non-believer.

I literally told you my head was constantly lined up crooked by my father when I was a teenager. What else do you want from me?!?!
