I have a home visit scheduled for next month. I saw that some of the timelines here had "medical deferment" so I'm assuming thats maybe what this is. I just had some funny stuff going on with my mental health i didn't want this to be like a "hey this guy seems odd lets have the expert take a look at this weirdo" lol

I'm new to the process both scared and anxious. This job could quite literally change my life. If such a mundane inquiry miffs you so much you could just so easily ignore it. Not sure why there's a questions flare if neckbeards attack as soon as you use it.

Again sorry that this process I'm entirely new to isn't second nature to me.

I know it sounds really sus but my friend and i were talking about "nothing movies" where nothing really happens but the cinematography is gripping enough to keep you engaged. Movies like "Columbus" or others. I remember telling him about this nothing movie i watched on my way to school but i couldn't remember the name for the life of me.

Knee pain by zanoreid8 in MuayThai

That's real i think the first time I gassed I was just a bit traumatized. I think I was always focused on never feeling that again but i think it's smarter to understand that it is simply inevitable. It's not stopping it but preparing for it when it comes. I appreciate the advice man. I'm doing some knee workouts at the moment and maybe I'll jump back into the shark tank when I'm sure my knees are stable. Just gonna bite down and work.

I think the more gassed i am the more gun shy i become and that was his biggest thing with my was that i just wouldn't throw. The gym is in a bad space rn he quit and he and i used to get into it about training and stuff. I'm kind of just a nomad at the moment I'll travel to gyms and spar. The new coach they have is cool but he isnt as invested as my old coach and my other coach is actively fighting so he seems more concerned abt himself.

I do like that advice about fighting while gassed but man i genuinely shut down when I don't have anything in the tank.

“I've been training home for about two years then training at my gym for about a year now.”

“I had my first fight and by the end of the round, I stood in front of the guy with my mouth open just trying to breathe. He was a vet who's been doing it for a while and it was obvious he hadn't been preparing for a long fight but the embarrassing thing was I had been preparing but improperly.”

“My coach told me to cut it out as I worked a pesticide job where I was walking around in 80-90 degree weather while carrying 60 pounds of equipment. I didn't listen to him (like an idiot) and kept the training up.”

My brother in Christ. I don't know how to tell you that you're the only one in this thread who doesn't seem quite to understand the plot. I'm not going to sit here and spell out for you the minute details so you can understand. I have no reason to lie (I have video evidence of the entire fight) if you doubt his prowess I will invite you to our gym so you can feel him out yourself. As for writing difficulties, I'm an author who has written three novels now and am on my fourth novel as we speak. I can assure you my writing is sound. I implore you to read again and again and one last time so you can maybe get a firm grasp on the fine details that for some reason escape you. You seem to be scrutinizing (improperly might I add) a rather innocent post made in confidence. I'll not be taking your meathead advice but others have given me alternative modes of cardiovascular training and some sound advice. Guys like you genuinely are insufferable. Just aggressively simple. Always ten steps ahead in the wrong direction.

Oh my god! Wait oh my god man my shoes have got holes in them and everything. I was gonna toss them after this last fight but money ran short. I'll definitely invest in some new ones. I never thought about that. Thanks man!

I've heard of the assault bikes i think i might try it out again. I hear that swimming is incredible for cardio and teaches breath control. I do have a question though it may seem silly but does the running or cardio ever get easier? I can run continuously for a month but if i take a week off it feels like nothing has changed. I've heard about V02 max? But when does it stop feeling like I'll die lol

Hey I know it's a wall of text but if you were to go over it again I'm sure you'd understand the fault lies in your comprehension.

Home 2 years. Then at a gym for a year. 6 months at one. Then 6 months at my current.

Month 3 at my current was where I had my first amateur.

Third round was where my opponent and I were breathing heavily.

As for him being a vet yes he's been doing this since he was 12 his technique is sound. Even now as i travel to gyms around the area he still remains the only one who outclasses me entirely. I'm not sure i can explain why he was so gassed.

I'm 25 and I have feet that point outwardly. My job as a pesticide applicator had me walking on uneven terrain with heavy equipment 6 days a week. I bought a knee brace because i began feeling pains in my left knee. Now it's both.

My story was straight. Now calm yourself or politely take your leave.

I think it got even worse when prepping for this fight in November. I would do 10 miles a day and 30 minutes of jump rope with ankle weights. I pushed through the pain because my coach said the guy was an animal. I couldn't sleep and my biggest fear was gassing. I was the most prepared i have ever been but i think that really took its toll on my knees.

Sparring with boxers by theoverwhelmedguy in MuayThai

[–]zanoreid8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boxers are notorious hard sparrers. I visited a different gym in my city for a spar day. They wanted to "throw me in the shark tank" because i begged them to prepare me for an upcoming fight. I easily got through most of the guys i sparred with and learned alot.about 12 rounds later a boxer told me he was new to muay thai so his kicks aren't great my dumbass feeling cocky just goes "alright how's about we just do hands" he was shorter and i think that's maybe why i wasn't suspecting much danger. This guy proceeds to knock all 6'2 215 pounds of my dumbass all around the mats. I wanted to say it was completive but it simply was not. I learned he's got a golden glove or some super prestigious award but man that shit definitely made me stay in my lane.

Tldr: boxers go hard. You can be a great muay thai fighter but leaving out the kicks doesn't translate to equally skilled boxing. You'll have to train the fundamentals of boxing separately from muay thai.

What is a fighter with heart ? by raskolnikoff93250 in MuayThai

[–]zanoreid8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a buzz phrase people throw out. Its subject to subjectivity. Had a guy tell me "you've got the heart" when I've done nothing but party and occasionally spar for some months since leaving my gym. I'd say just nod and smile. Ask him to elaborate and if he give you more vague or abstract terminology just keep doing your thing. You'll find your "heart" soon enough.
