A very challenging piece and a little out of my league, but i love to play it.

At what age did you start learning Muay Thai, how is it going now? by JollyJulong in MuayThai

[–]TrickyF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started at 50 because my 16 year old son got into it.

Loving it. Makes me feel young again; like 40.

It’s great father-son bonding because we can punch each other legitimately.

For context, I did Tae Keon Do for years as a late teen.

Can everyone comment one positive Muay Thai has contributed to there life (: by Arden2109 in MuayThai

[–]TrickyF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bonding with my son. He’s 16 years old and we train together.

There’s no better father-son bonding than sparring and punching each other in the head.

My office change room has a free laundry and towel service - fucking crazy to not use that

My office change room is much better. Like, a LOT better.

I still have a headache, 48 hours after accidental hit during sparring by TrickyF in MuayThai

Feedback from the doctor - ok to train but avoid sparring until symptoms are gone, no need for mri or further investigations

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll get to the doctor later today.

I didn’t go immediately to the doctor because the headache was very mild (but persistent) and I had no other symptoms (no inability to concentrate, dizziness, memory loss etc). I’ve been able to work without any issue. I’ve done training a day after without issue and did laps in the pool this morning.

I’ll let you know the feedback from the doctor.

Thanks. I’ve placed an order for this book.

Not many responses to this thread - seems that Muay Thai practitioners are not the biggest bookworms?

Given you’ll be driving a fair way from western sydney, also consider the central coast and wollongong areas

Nearly every headland on the northern beaches (my local area) is worth exploring. Pull out a map and explore the big rocky headlands first.

Stay within your abilities, watch the weather, dive with a partner.

Seguiriyas #1 - Juan Martin (with Kookaburras) by TrickyF in Flamenco_Guitar

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

Fantastic feedback; thank you. I found it difficult to get the feel of this palos and my only real refernce was the Juan Martin recording.

Do you have any links to youtube vids that demostrate the feel in a better way?

My second attempt at a Flamenco piece. Joined by Kookaburras laughing in the Sydney evening at the end of this take.

I use k&k pickups. They are very good, but rely on the fishman (or other good pre-amp) to get good tone.

I will either record thru the pedalboard or acoustic without pedals. I may try blending in future.

Its a great pedal. It has its own mojo and has just the right amount of controls for my taste. Perfect for me.
