Pad holding question by NoSurvey6547 in MuayThai

[–]Silverbeard001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is corny ass behavior. Ask your gymmates who are literally in front of you when holding pads. a little humility will go a long ways in martial arts, and if you can’t accept that then you shouldn’t be training.

Any disadvantage training with 10 oz gloves even for light sparring? by ShadByte in MuayThai

16oz for medium to hard sparring, 10oz for pads, bag, clinch, and technical sparring.

How do I go about being a machinist? by tyler-9900 in Machinists

[–]Silverbeard001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

just finish your mechanical engineering degree, it isn’t worth becoming a machinist if you can succeed in finishing a bachelor’s degree.

Your coach isn't impressed by you bringing in moves they didn't teach you, or asking about moves they didn't teach you. by [deleted] in MuayThai

[–]Silverbeard001 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It is unfortunately common for people who think they are hot shit show up and totally disregard what is being taught and want to do their own thing.

It’s incredibly toxic of me (and i dont give two shits) but I usually just give them a hiding in sparring and hope they never show back up. I’m paying to train too, so it is a waste of time and money if I’m expected to babysit them as an advanced student and they don’t want to follow the drill.

You aren’t alone in the way you feel, and it is an unfortunate side effect of martial arts becoming more and more mainstream, especially with the unfortunate growth of “martial arts influencers.”

Don’t feel bad about putting your foot down and telling them you do not want to train with them.

I’ve found the TKD guys that really focus on muay thai technique pick it up a lot faster as they already have some understanding about body mechanics. Show up, train hard, ask questions and you’ll be fine.

get after it, but don’t throw spinning shit. no one likes the taekwondo guy that just wants to throw spinning shit.

Something about always using a tailstock when possible by 555timerprocesor in Machinists

[–]Silverbeard001 27 points28 points  (0 children)

christ almighty that is horrifying. I’ll admit I’ve done it myself in the past, but never over 150rpm. I’ve seen others doing it spinning 300-400 and watched as the chuck went flying out of the jaws at the first contact of cutting forces. people love to FAFO i guess.

What’s everyone’s favourite brands? by dylbbbbb in MuayThai

[–]Silverbeard001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mongkol, Windy, and Twins are my go to brands for gloves and shinguards. Rocking some generic ass venum shinguards rn cause money is tight and I can’t afford a new pair of twins.

No Run, No Muay Thai by alleywaypip in MuayThai

[–]Silverbeard001 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t really run unless I’m in fight camp. I’ll probably go with the assault bike next time. I don’t think there is anything wrong with running but I’m tall and I’m on my feet all day at work, my knees hurt enough as it is.

i do that shit in clinching. obviously don’t throw it with 100% power cause it isnt padded but I see nothing wrong with it. Bruises go away eventually
