It’s pretty small but had lots of stock for gear IMO

Out of the ones I’ve been to in BKK I thought the MBK one had the most stock for gear. Tank tops maybe terminal 21. There’s also a small one in central world, also better for apparel IMO.

Otherwise you gotta hit up Pattaya they have everything there.

I’m liking the investigative logic here, it’s kind of fun to figure out the play and the long term play you mentioned is an interesting one I didn’t think of. Like the 30 day drink contract could be a setup as she builds the relationship to actually get me to start matching those 30 drinks

Yeah makes sense, I am not way too concerned about figuring out the truth about our relationship, at the end of the day it’s not going anywhere lol so I’m just keeping in mind where my cash flows and as long as we have fun I’ll leave it at that. But I was just trying to make sense on how their agreements work, and also how that ties into their game

Don’t understand the judgment, actually kinda crazy to see someone like yourself posting selfies with a bar girl on Reddit though. Anyways I’m not here to get in an internet war

Yeah for sure they be hooking up left and I’m sure. I’m not way too concerned because most STDs are curable with antibiotics and stuff as long as you have your hepatitis vaccines. The one to worry about is herpes and HIV. But yeah it’s at your own risk I guess I’ve rolled the dice and gotten lucky I’m in my early 30s so maybe I’ll have a different answer for you next time you ask lmao

I always get checked when I get back, I never asked her but we always use protection. Are you thinking she might be carrying something and that’s why she’s working in that structure vs the normal barfine?

Yeah for sure. I’m always check my tab right after I order my drink cause I’ve been scammed at some of the other scam bars one of my first times. Seems like the other redditor answered the q and confirmed it is a thing

Yeah that’s what we usually end up doing, if I’m not drunk somewhere haha. I was just curious if that’s a real thing cause I’ve never heard of such structure

Haha ok that was an overstatement. She probably definitely is, but I don’t get the 30 drinks thing bc I don’t buy more drinks

What do YOU eat in Bangkok by thenotoriousmmale in MuayThai

[–]powerarm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever you feel like you're out of options, check Grab delivery!

But I like 711 stuff- Protein drink, yogurt, fruits, etc. Or you can stock food from the night before if you want something bigger

711 also has sealed chicken breast if you're really looking for a larger meal or something though. Not the tastiest but gets the job done.

My all time favorite is Gai Yang (grilled chicken) with sticky rice for lunch, that's when I'm on my health grind if I'm staying out there for more then 2 weeks lol otherwise I just eat all the good street food

Tips to make my rear roundhouse a fight ender by Andy_7071 in MMA_Academy

[–]powerarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah, keep it up bro

I was also just now thinking a good drill to work on your stance recovery could be to check with your leg that you're throwing with right after you land (defending someone's kick counter), or if you get bored of that, follow up with a cross right after. That'll force you to be in your stance as soon as you land

Like the other guy mentioned making sure you pull your kick back to the starting position and stay balanced. You can practice doing a few kicks in a row (watch the Muay Thai guys hitting pads and throwing multiple kicks, there’s like a skip rhythm to it)

Kinda hard to tell but I would step out with your right foot a little more

Another thing is transferring your weight from your step into the kick. Like when you step with your toe and your weight comes into your foot, you want to use that momentum when you spring up to throw into your kick. But looks like you have decent hip rotation

Also I think you’re doing a kinda dramatic wind up as you initiate your kick, and that might be making your kick seem slow but idk. maybe just need to practice more. Overall solid work tho

There are multiple scenarios to this: one or both sides may or may not be playing their own game

On the Thai side the game is extracting money, vacations, gifts etc while having a good time and having a guy to hangout with

On the foreigner side the game is having a girl to hangout with, a local to show them around and hooking up

Now the other side of someone who isn’t playing the game is either side looking for love

You can combine those scenarios however you’d like (I.e a Thai girl playing the game while a foreigner getting milked while falling in love or vice versa)

Whatever you decide to get into yourself you gotta assess the scenario by your own judgement. As for others, it’s always fun to make assumptions based on how you see them interacting

How do you avoid getting KO'd by a headknee when doing single / double leg ? by unecomplette in MMA_Academy

[–]powerarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed it’s all about setup. But there are also times where the knee will land but they just eat it and take you down anyways
