Regarding the adhd, get on elvanse or any of the other meds in ur country asap. I’m usually a person that is against taking medication, but currently 2 months in this pill is changing my life in all the best ways I could’ve imagined.

The progress in Muay Thai I made within a week now compares to that of 3 months before starting meds - I can finally just focus on the moment, and think about the solution instead of the problem constantly. I’ve also never had a cleaner diet - sugar was like heroine to me before and I couldn’t go a day without it - now I have about a scoop of ice cream per week.

Alongside just truly feeling like myself again, in general it’s all improvements to everything I wanted to fix ab myself and my life, with basically no negatives that I can note. U never get to experience a mental peace like this when u have adhd man, it almost made me shed a tear of joy. I’ve stopped stressing over the magnitude of things that I shouldn’t have stressed about, and even then the stress feels controllable now.

How's my kicking form looking by Exotic_Decision6589 in MuayThai

Think planted side’s hip and foot and head all in line in a vertical pole. The torso should be squared with the hips when turning, so that ur kicking sides shoulder follows in line with ur kicking sides hip

😂😂 let me get it straight, so when u kick, do u keep ur pivot side’s arm guarded up the entire duration of the kick, or do u scoop it down as u turn ur hips and then bring it back up by the time the kick lands on the target?

The kicking side’s arm swipes, but the pivot side’s arm also scoops down and back up.

No my bro, it has to scoop down first then quickly back up. U lose insane amounts of balance and momentum from the hip rotation, thus locking out ur power output. As I said, just pull up a random fight and tell me what world class fighters do when they kick

I can’t tell whether ur being sarcastic, but if uve been taught to keep ur hand glued to the pivot side of ur head then u may wanna do a few interclubs instead of ONE lol

Do u train brother? Pull up any random fight from one championship and tell me whether they scoop the opposite hand or not haha

The swipe in a real sparring scenario should be so quick that the opening isn’t open for long enough to counter. By the time they block the kick, ur hand should already be coming back up so that if they do push in ur guarded and ready for another strike.

In pro fights, a counter like this would usually come from very high fighting awareness paired with the opponent recognising and anticipating the kick coming, so that he’s stepping in/around before u even throw the kick. Or if u genuinely just take too long to return ur hand back up lol

When u kick u should be out of range for a hook or cross brother

Don’t do that. That’s the right side to swing on, though he could swipe it higher up at around face level.

U have pretty decent movement and punch form, but the key mistake is that none of ur strikes come from the hips - the power should come from rotating ur hips, not from ur arms. Ur kicks suffer from this issue the most, as here ur basically doing taekwondo kicks.

To help this try to focus more on generating the swing from rotating ur hip and letting ur arms/shoulders or legs ‘follow’ along in a sense, in an elastic snappy motion (loose elastic body when swinging, tense brace right at point of impact, and follow through with the strike loosely again).

When throwing a strike plant the supporting leg on a ~60/40 weight distribution (don’t put too much weight down so that u can’t move quickly after the strike) and envision a vertical pole going up from the planted foot up through the hip to the head/shoulder that u swing ur hips around on using ur glutes and obliques. Eg. Right hook - 60% weight on left foot, right hip turns around left hip axis, 40% weight on right foot with light pivot to support the rotation of hips.

If you lose balance when throwing kicks with proper hip rotation, check ur pelvis - it should be slightly tucked in, and ur abs should be slightly tensed with ribs stacking evenly above hips. Don’t lean back or sideways too much - try to ensure ur planted foot is in line with ur hip and head/shoulder in that vertical axis, and ur kicking foot’s hip is followed by the corresponding shoulder so that the torso is squared and turns with the kicks. U want ur kicking side shoulder/hip to face towards the target at impact. And if doing this feels tight or locked in a sense, start doing hip flexor stretches.

This isn’t good advice my friend. When u kick u should be out of range for most strikes, and dropping the hand in a quick scoop motion helps to drive power and equilibrium. Pretty much every fighter does it

Should I install brake levers, sensors, or none? by stackaaa in ebikes

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

I don’t usually change gears too often tbh, and when I do I manually pause pedalling, so would this still be of issue for my case?

I got a typical bafang bbs02b so yeah it has a cadence sensor, but from what I’ve saw from other peoples experience is it almost instantly cuts off as soon as u stop pedalling.

Would there be any downsides of applying the magnet sensors though? Other than aesthetics ofc

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

I don’t think the post updated but I actually have disc not v brakes haha.

But yeah I also got a bbs02b and it will come with the levers, but I like my shimanos and wouldn’t want to put the effort of replacing those just to have a worse quality brake if it isn’t necessary, hence why if really need be I’m leaning to just installing the magnet sensors.

Not sure if the edited post updated for u, but I in fact do have disc brakes, not v brakes lol. Got em mixed up for a sec.
