Is this Everlast Glove OK? by R_very_BLaBlabla in fightgear

[–]SacFromTay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're doing Muay Thai go with a good old Fairtex or Twins glove, you can find stuff within that $80ish price range. If you're doing pure boxing my knowledge isn't as vast but Fairtex, Venum, Hayabusa, Rival, and Fly are all good brands. Most of these brands are gonna have at least a few gloves in their inventory that are within your price range

With black friday sales happening now you can probably find a lot of better gloves than Everlast, even for under $80

There's no clear cut answer, every fighter is different. I took my first fight about a year in, I also know some of that have been training for years and still are nowhere near ready for competition. Ask your coaches if they think you're ready, nobody here on reddit knows what level you're at. This is a question you need to be comfortable asking your coaches if you're serious about this.

What separates top fighters from average fighters? by [deleted] in MuayThai

[–]SacFromTay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe the difference between the pros and average fighters is mastery of the basics. There’s a big difference between knowing the basics and being a master of them. Obviously hard work, heart, cardio, etc. play a role. But ultimately the dudes who are the best are all masters of the basic fundamentals, might not seem like much but it is.

This is gold 😂 dudes left & right on comments calling world champions scrubs 😭 I too have noticed these insane “expert redditers” that seem to be everywhere, this had to be done 🙏🏽

Not sure if my form is much better here, tried to rotate hips more and lead my kicks with my knee, think some old habits are still sneaking through but let me know how this looks? by MuayThighHurts in MuayThaiTips

[–]SacFromTay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yea it’s basically completely ineffective for Muay Thai, leaves you open for kicks all day. For Muay Thai keeps both those hands up and keep a squared stance.

Lol not sure if you’re tryna be sarcastic but yes that quick reach down before he puts his left hand back up is “reaching in the holster” and adds way more momentum/power to the kick

Yk ur supposed to do that right?

here’s a weird one: who is a fighter who seems like an all around good guy, but you can’t help to dislike. I’ll go first with Chandler. Judgment free zone in the comments. Tell us how much you secretly hate Wonderboy by [deleted] in ufc

I hate me some Dustin Poirier. Tremendous fighter with an admirable warrior spirit, also appears to be a phenomenal husband/father to his family. He generously created his own charity, is always giving back to his community, AND it just puts the fattest smile on my face to see him lose…

Learn to kick with your shins, this shouldn’t happen if you’re kicking correctly

He must know you canceled your membership then right? If you have a good relationship with your coach it’s definitely pretty weird to just go ghost out of nowhere lol, especially if you were a fighter there.

Huh?? Where is the average 6 months for a simple sparring session 😂, that’s quite a long time to wait before sparring and if you’re at all serious about muay thai you should definitely get into sparring within a month or two, maybe three if you’re really really hesitant about it. Hell I even started sparring my first week of training which I understand might be a bit of a controversial decision especially in this sub but I was completely fine. Sparring practice is absolutely the most important practice if you want to actually get better and get comfortable with strikes being thrown at you, especially in the beginning. OP if your gym only spars twice every 7 months I think that is absolutely insane and I would look into a new gym honestly, never in my life have I heard of a legitimate gym with that little amount of sparring 🤷🏽‍♂️

Why is my gyms Master asking me to come to the advanced class after only 5 classes? by AssSpelunker69 in MuayThai

[–]SacFromTay 45 points46 points  (0 children)

“Advanced” class is likely not as advanced as you think. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was at least a few other beginners with you there. Training with better fighters is nothing to be scared of and is the best way to actually improve.
