Muay Thai/ kick boxing
-
Yeah Finn dude you should totally give kick boxing a try. I've been out since December and its driving me absolutely insane.
my brother did go to classes for like 2years…should have joined him back then! now I'll see what I can do about it...I somehow think that I wouldn't even be that bad at it

Just stumbled on this thread. I've been going to Muay Thai for about a year and a half. Totally addicted. Helped me shed a few stubborn pounds, better than that it's just fun. My trainer is Sakasem "The Punisher" Kanthawong. Such a nice guy. 3x World Champ with 250 fights without being knocked out. He is also training Scott Jorgenson who is facing Faber in the next UFC fight.
Here is a highlight of him in his prime.

Im going on 7 years of thai boxing. Love it. Such a great stress reliever.

Participated in a Muay Thai demonstration at the local Buddhist temple. It was a late Thai new year festival. First time sparring in front of a crowd.
After pic with one of the monks and Sakasem "The Punisher" Kanthawong. My daughter has the mean fight face in the front.
Changed into my MBB's to enjoy the rest of the festivities.

That looks like an amazing location for some demo/sparring action!

Picked up a new pair of 12 oz bag gloves. My all around gloves (16 oz) were getting pretty beat up. I've been really impressed with Twins. Great quality and fits my fist pretty well.

i use a pair of 16 oz twins for sparing and 16oz top kings for bag work
found the top kings went flat on me really fast
havent used the twins much due to the fucked ankle but love the feel on them
had some of the hyabusa kanpeki's, loved the closer system hated the rest of the glove
was thinking about some fairtex heavy hitters for my next bag/pad gloves
tried some on and LOVED the way they fit
what site did you order from summerhays? -
Fairtex are nice. I use their headgear and love it. My shin guards are Top Kings, but I've never used their gloves. I went through MuayThaiStuff.com. Shipping was kind of spendy, but at least I received it quickly. It was 3 days from Thailand to Utah.

depending what im after i use these two sites
http://www.muaythai-fighting.com/
great selection of top king but its all mostly made to order so it takes forever
good prices and they track everything you buy, so you get a discount based on how much you've ordered over timehttp://www.muaythaifactory.com/
great selection of raja shorts (love raja shorts) and good prices, plus they will do custom anything for you
very very fast shipping -
ANyone here still interested in Muay Thai?! I just had a fight a couple weeks back.
Short clip of the end of the fight. It was a banger (lost on points )!

@natehate Injury troubles? I'm getting up there in age, so probably not doing this much longer myself.
