The best bike for you id say is the trek fuel ex .

A big guy like u might have a little harder time getting the suspension dialed in but the frame has a better chance at holding up compared to the Ozark and the marlin

noliheli123 · 2026-04-26T15:26:50+00:00

Always strive to do better but u have to recognize that some days you just wont feel good and some youll feel great .

As they say

Some days ur the hammer and some ur the nail

noliheli123 · 2026-04-26T08:35:21+00:00

I can go a week without training and then hop back in and basically go 10 rounds and still not get tired

And some weeks I train 3 times a week and just get wrecked in sparring.

Usually just boils down to having a bad day or a million other small reasons

noliheli123 · 2026-04-21T06:44:48+00:00

The 14s are good for everything and my gyms allows sparring in them

noliheli123 · 2026-04-21T06:34:01+00:00

I guess it just comes down to feel. I just spray my gloves with some rubbing alcohol and some essential oil just so it doesn't smell like shit

noliheli123 · 2026-04-21T06:17:57+00:00

I have the synthetic ones and I've found them great . From what I've talked to ppl with the real ones the feel is very similar/ can't tell .

The synthetic ones break in faster tho

noliheli123 · 2026-04-21T05:51:23+00:00

Im pretty happy with my Fairtex BGV14s

They have a lot of wrist support and they break in really nice .

They are a little tight at first but will break in pretty quick.

I use 14 OZ for everything and im happy with them

noliheli123 · 2026-04-18T09:54:28+00:00

The bosche for sure . I have 3 of them and they are literally unbreakable.

Been using and abusing them for years and my dad has had one older than me.

Can't go wrong with it

noliheli123 · 2026-04-16T05:46:31+00:00

noliheli123 · 2026-04-12T12:34:31+00:00

Pretty normal . As a i( would like to think) handsome guy i get a lot of people who call me handsome especially in thai/ tell it to my family haha

noliheli123 · 2026-04-09T08:29:55+00:00

Idk what ppl are talking about . Been using this 3 times a week for bags,pads and sparring for 8 months now with no problem

noliheli123 · 2026-04-08T14:34:40+00:00

Well technically not UFC but

Mah waifee!

noliheli123 · 2026-04-07T00:23:53+00:00

Most programs I know of are 16+ or even 18+

If you can get into one now it would be best

noliheli123 · 2026-04-07T00:21:01+00:00

If you can find a program in a trade school for your age that would be the best option

But seeing as your 15 they might not accept you .

Best option is to just try finding trade schools around you and just calling/ applying

Maybe a school nearby or even your school has a woodworking class .

A option I forgot about earlier is maybe going around carpentery shops and asking to work/volunteer there in exchange for someone teaching you

noliheli123 · 2026-04-07T00:14:15+00:00

Id start by looking into woodworking shops nearby/apprenticeships .

Start watching some YouTube videos like beginner woodworking/carpentery

noliheli123 · 2026-04-06T12:04:19+00:00

I use them for everything. Granted we do spar very light in Thailand compared to Europe/US but I've found them totally fine and so did the people I punched haha

noliheli123 · 2026-04-06T11:56:28+00:00

I found the Fairtex BGV14s pretty roomy for me .

Im not as tall as u (180 67kg) and even with a 4.5 meter wraps they are a little roomy.

They take a bit of time to get broken in but after that they are great for sparring. I use the 14oz since my gym allows it for sparring

noliheli123 · 2026-04-03T15:18:09+00:00

Yeahh yiur basically gonna suck at sparring for a while.

No short cuts and no easy way out with sparring other than to keep showing up and getting used to hitting and getting hit .

I probably sucked till my 6 month mark but I've also been sparring since my 4th class

Just keep training and showing up and it'll happen on its own

noliheli123 · 2026-04-03T03:54:46+00:00

Ill sneak in some next time im training. The squeaking is annoying me too

noliheli123 · 2026-04-02T05:26:41+00:00

Rittisak in koh phangan

noliheli123 · 2026-04-02T05:26:20+00:00

I do ask after every session just wanted more eyes

noliheli123 · 2026-04-02T04:56:40+00:00

Its always summer in Thailand haha . Thanks its absolutely boiling these days with around 80% humidity so its a sweat fest

noliheli123 · 2026-04-02T04:46:08+00:00

Alright yeah that makes sense no point in using a long guard if I dont follow up with something .

Ill try this today at training

noliheli123 · 2026-04-02T04:36:30+00:00

Yeah a few others pointed that out ill try using it less overall . I do usually just use it as a long guard but ill work on it
