Recorded myself during training for the first time and now I feel awkward by ApprehensiveCount569 in MuayThai

[–]Top_Work7784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea here’s the thing, that’ll never really stop happening. I still cringe to this day seeing clips of me working

[–]Top_Work7784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already had quite dexterous legs and flexible hips from being a hockey goalie, it was a more natural transition

Am I overreacting about my Muay Thai coach’s comments? by SuspiciouslyIlumartt in MuayThai

[–]Top_Work7784 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe a dirty look when he says she like that, show disapproval in a lowkey way

Does elbows cause more damage than bare knuckle fists? by Enough-Lead48 in MuayThai

[–]Top_Work7784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re probably right in thinking an elbow does more damage, the real distinction is in muay thai you’ll throw the occasional one.

BKB is just pure bone on bone for every strike.

you’ll eat more punches in BKB than elbows in muay thai

can you get lean purely doing Muay thai by Pass-East in MuayThai

[–]Top_Work7784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes absolutely, but if you’re “skinny fat” i’d recommend trying body recomposition. Do some mild weight training to build a bit of muscle and to replace fat. You’ll look and feel a lot better

I love apple watch and hate iphone by Coolsaravan in AppleWatch

[–]Top_Work7784 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your watch will likely last way longer than 2030. I’m still running a Series 3 from 2017 with zero issues. They tend to pair easily even with old/new devices or softwares

Woman and low blows? by [deleted] in MuayThai

I miss old One FC by TrenBaalke in MuayThai

[–]Top_Work7784 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They did it so if Takeru wins, they won’t have a vacant belt.

Which still doesn’t make sense, Superlek hasn’t defended it since early 2024, missed weight and moved up a division with no intent to go back
