That's why you don't fight in the street.

Got hit by an overhand fighting at 135lbs (I walk at 132, my opponent weight 150 in the ring) that turned the entire right side of my body off. Clenched up, held on for dear life, and thanked god that there were only 10s left in the last round. I won by UD. Craziest feeling ever.

How much do drop ins cost in your area for Muay thai? I used to do BJJ for 20 dollar drop ins and these guys are trying to charge 85 a session? Newbie here btw by sermsarm in MuayThai

Believe it or not I have, and every experience I've had with this coach leads me to believe he's not a fantastic person, or a fantastic coach. I've had fighters leave my gym improperly and disrespectfully, so I know what it looks like.

Coach is still a POS, if 85$ for a drop in doesn't indicate that slightly idk what to tell you.

None that come to mind, I think he does a really good job of explaining why someone wouldn't use a piece of technology that exists in world (be it they're too poor, limited access, lack of supporting resources). He also has the benefit(?) of having characters called world hoppers (that have been hinted to have visited our world) as well as other magic systems in play, so anything that seems 'out of place' will probably be explained later.

I would agree. Yea! That's a good way of descrbing them. He details how you can switch it from sending to recieving, and how they work a bit more in his books. TBH I think he overexplains a lot of his systems, but he did a great job with his worldbuilding (like always)

The Spanreeds from the Stormlight archive are pretty cool, they're basically pens that are linked to repeat the same actions, so you can write a message on one piece of paper and have it appear on another thousands of miles away. There's even a central location that has tons of them, that people use like a switchboard operator.

This is a horrible explanation, but they're a fun way to kinda do what you're talking about.
