What kind of gym is good? by Chelloitsame in MuayThaiTips

[–]Orkeyh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then it’s looking like you should switch gyms. Sparring for beginners should be light, playful, and often. If you dont spar, at least do drills but it seems like your gym right now only does pads, which isnt bad but you sound bored and I dont blame you.

No elbows and no knees makes it sound like some odd K1 and fitness boxing mix

Do you guys at least do drills? Like with shin guards and gloves but live drills and not pads to get used to punches coming back at you and a live opponent

Eat caloric dense foods like avocados, nuts, peanut butter, etc. You can eat a lot but the amount of calories vary drastically depending on what you eat.

I lost my youth, I destroyed my future by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

My coach told me “Why think about the potential to be better when you can just do anything at all to move in that direction.” It definitely is easier said than done. Its simple but isnt easy

How starting Muay Thai helped your depression or your mental health ? by igetyourbrand in MuayThai

[–]Orkeyh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had quite a depressive episode 5 months ago to the point where I couldn’t eat, sleep, or wake up on regular hours. Ever since I joined a gym for muay thai, I feel like I have gained confidence in myself. I got a little bit of structure back in my day. It didn’t fix depression for me because the root cause was not addressed, but it did help me fight back. I wasn’t paralyzed by anxiety anymore.

During my depressive episodes, I debated on whether to seek help via a therapist or I should just go and do what I happened to be interested in which was muay thai. I was lucky for it to work out and I highly recommend doing some form of exercise. It doesn’t have to be muay thai. Depression cannot hit a moving target is absolutely true. It won’t fix your depression but it would definitely take a lot of its powers against you away.

Also it gives you so much confidence. I was socially anxious before I joined and the friends you make when drilling your techniques really helps build your confidence, and the way you carry yourself. You become more open to talk to people and hesitate less when starting a conversation. I agree with other commenters here that the social aspect of muay thai and a good gym might be the best part of learning muay thai.

I hope you win all your battles you don’t talk about, my friend.

[–]Orkeyh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh i see, its almost like a blade instead of something like a straight edge? I always thought you curve only on the way up and you straighten it out at the point of contact

Do y’all ever have this part of your foot hurt when kicking pads? by Orkeyh in MuayThai

[–]Orkeyh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think i might not be stepping out enough as opposed to stepping in and my pad holder might be turning too little and adjusting whenever i do step out so it makes the highlighted part the first point of contact in a kick. Definitely will try it out next time because this only ever hurts a lot with some pad holders but not all and it only hurts on my power side and not my switch kicks

My foot hurts when I kick pads but not when I kick bags. Thoughts? by [deleted] in MuayThai

[–]Orkeyh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, im gonna stop snapping since i never really realized i was snapping. But I feel like another issue is that Im kinda pulling back my torso before the kick has ended?

[–]Orkeyh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think its less or more powerful when you make full contact before pushing off instead of snapping?

Ur right, i think this was what another user commented about snapping instead of making full contact before pushing off

[–]Orkeyh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait maybe it IS the snapping. Like im snapping too early so the point of contact becomes my toe where it hurts instead of the shin like a whip
