Damn it's been a minute since I came in here. You been putting in work
......are you mainly lifting weights or doing calisthenics?
And I also been seriously contemplating getting into muy thai. Boxed in my teens and still do light training here and there so my hands are still solid. But I feel like muy Thai might be more effective in a street fight. Especially with those those low kicks. I seen too many street fight videos where dudes get hit with low kicks and go into panic mode
.......I don't plan on street fighting but I think it's always wise to be prepared. I wanna have an all around game. And muy thai just looks like it would be mad fun to train in. The versatility is what intrigues me.
Bro leg kicks literally change everything man. I cant recommend Muay Thai enough especially if you already got some boxing in you. There are small things you gonna have to unlearn in your head that will take some time but once MT "clicks"
I dont plan on getting into any street fights either but imagine how a trained person could win a street fight off a jab now your reach is even crazier and no one is expecting a leg or mid kick in a street fiht unless they trained too. The avg dude doesnt know his range, will be throwing bolos etc. Now imagine all the options w leg kicks and teeps(a front push kick that you could work like a jab or put some sauce on it and fukk someone up. All this while being no where near of a dangerous range for your opponent to catch you. And once they start focusing on you fukking their legs up you now have them open to give em some boxing work or get even closer and fukk em up w knees and eblows
I was doing calisthenics in the park when rona first until about late fall. Mendez boxing gym shut down soon as rona hit and Mr Mendez passed away from rona
lived to beat cancer and died from this demonic virus
. Mendez still isnt open but they plan on opening n his brother gonna run it.
My son wrestling gym is in the same building as the mt/bjj but w rona there are no classes just 1 on 1 privates. So while Jr does his wrestling shyt i do my MT private. You have to test weekly and the coach wears a mask/face shield so i figured i would do MT help stay in fighting shape and ended up loving it.
Now i do maybe 3 days week lifting(squat/deads/cleans/press/pullups/pushups/dips/cardio ect) and 2 days MT/Boxing. Love their sparring too its very technical, relaxed, touch sparring working on techniques instead of fukking each other up. You should give it a try shyt is mad fun. Peep the difference in my body composition since I stared it.....shyt will get you in shape shape
Also the vids i put up was from back when i had jr to record i was still in "boxing mode" but yeah the muscle memory starting to get there i feel a lot more comfortable now in the MT clinch n throwing knees and elbows. Not saying im good or anything
just that stuff is starting to come together. Unfortunately we in wrestling season so i got nobody to record my shyt ima try putting it in the ring corner maybe to update the thread more.
