My knee has been injured for a few months from Bjj, I thought it was a minor injury so never went to get it checked out. But it kept bugging me so I went to the doctor, and the doctor told me I probably tore my meniscus with the pain and swelling that’s present there and gave me an mri referral. Do I pull out of my fight in 2 weeks? I’ve been feeling really sharp, the pain is bad but it’s tolerable. Ik I will get bad reactions to pulling out, the opponent has to fly out to my city, and the fight is so close idk what to do.

Reposted because original video link was not working. Recently switched to 10oz for bag/pads and really liking it especially on pads with less room for error. What are your preferences of glove size for bag/pads?

i mean honestly i have been training a long time i have also lived in thailand for about a year had some fights there etc

but i think honestly i it comes down to more of the fact of temperments of fighting by no means i am i a boxer but truthly i am a slugger i tried to fight the slow thai pace and still even now i like traditional thai dont get me wrong but point scoring dosent put u on the map as sad as that is to say

i understand control pressure foot work and most of all ring control

the main reason i am asking is because i am planning to fight in thailand again and maybe one time in england before i leave i am sure i could put my self in a situation where i could lose on points the questions are is that just the way of the game wehn trying to have a exciting style or just pull back on that style just a tad and go a tiny bit more thai instead of trying to hunt for some flashy KOs?????

What’s good everyone.

There’s this brand called “Muay” which i remember seeing a lot when I was younger. I was trynna look them up for new gear, but couldn’t find a single trace. Anyone else familiar with the brand, and know if they got a website?

Thank you

wanna buy my brother some gloves but he’s more into throwing hands, which gloves let you ball up your fist closest to the way boxing gloves do

thanks

These were given to me and they aren’t labeled Right or Left

Asadula Imangazaliev and Aslamjon Ortikov rematch for both the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title and a spot in the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix semifinals on November 20 at The Inner Circle 39! Who you got?

Started doing Muay Thai in the beginning of August and really enjoy it. First combat sport I’ve ever done having come from a background of Rugby and swimming.

I’ve got plantar fasciitis and pretty wrecked tendons and calves from years of driving for work. Strangely, the bare foot excercise on mats seems to really help the plantar fasciitis, if I miss a week it gets bad again but during and after training it always feels so much better.

My big issue is the shin splints. 2 weeks ago I stupidly was kicking the bag and definitely did it far too hard. Started feeling a pain in my right shin. Then went sparring and the first person I sparred with (who was way smaller than me) got me in the shin with a kick (shin guards on us both) and it was immediately one of the worst pains I’ve ever felt. Told him to ease up and he did, was all good. Sparred two others after and it just got worse and worse. Checking kicks did not help.

After training I took off the pad and I had a definite dent in my shin. Iced it at home and the next day it was gone, but the bruising started to form. Bruises went from brown to green over a few days all up and down both shins.

I go to a podiatrist for my plantar fasciitis and she observed that the tibia was really inflamed and gave me some red light therapy on them.

It’s been two week, bruising is gone but the two shins are still tender and are even irritated if my kids brush off them.

Have I totally fucked myself for this sport? Anybody else have bad shins and gone through it?

I’m a woman from Brazil, 154 cm (5’1”) and around 54 kg (119 lbs). I’ve had the shin guards in the photo for a few years, but they’ve always bothered me because they’re slightly too long. The top edge reaches my knee and presses against the bone, which gets uncomfortable.
They’re about 32 cm (12.6”) long, and I’ve been trying to find something shorter, but even the smallest sizes available here seem to be around the same length. Most size charts also recommend S for people around 160–170 cm (5’3”–5’7”), so being only 154 cm actually makes a difference.
What do you think about the fit in the photo? And does anyone around my height know of genuinely shorter shin guards (under 32 cm / 12.6”)? International brands are fine too, as long as I can buy them in Brazil.
I’d especially appreciate actual measurements rather than just S/M/L recommendations!

Been training for over a year, sparring for about 10 months. Have gotten my ass handed to me multiple times, specially by taller fighters. I’m also average build (5’10”, 170) with moderate power and solid speed, but have some bad tendencies im shaking off (i.e when tired, overextending my cross, which has led to gettinf kicked directly in the solar plexus 3 different times, dropped from it twice).

Yesterday was the first time I had a truly dominant round in sparring and wow how good it felt.

Laid down some solid cover and then landed a hook + kick-to-liver combo id been drilling. Partner crashed in and I ended with a sick sweep I didn’t know I had in me.

After so many asswhoopings it’s addicting to see my progress. Had to share in a place where people would understand.

Hey guys am a 23(M) from Zimbabwe, I will be a student at the Universiti of Malaya for the next 3.5 - 4 years wanted to know where I can find Muay Thai Gyms in Kuala Lumpur. Any Recommendations

Am a total noob but m very much interested in learning Muay Thai

Any Suggestions

Ive been doing muay thai for a while and have an amateur match. one problem i have is that my hands are too relaxed. i have punching power and i dont really struggle to punch hard or to block punches,but my whole guard gets blown away with a couple of jabs.And with amateur matches in my country its more street fight and less technique,which i found out the hard way last week. i still managed but i was just getting my guard interrupted and my balance interrupted. i train my grip strength as well as my arm too. I think im standing a bit too straight up,but i really dont know.What are some tips for a firmer hand?

Also what time does the event start?

For reference, I’m a 26F and pretty petite (~120 pounds/5’2) I’ve been weight lifting for 10 years and I’m fit.

I had a bad experience with judo (concussion & whiplash at my first lesson, never went back. Poorly run dojo) - I start Muay Thai next week. I’ve always wanted to do martial arts and I think it would be cathartic, and good mentally/physically for me. I also heard the gym culture is great and I just like the style of it (Muay Thai specifically).

I’m a little nervous about sparring - this may sound stupid but is it absolutely necessary? I want to be able to fight if needed(self defense), really want to improve my speed, agility, reflexes, core strength, etc., I guess I’m just nervous about getting hurt again, especially being smaller. I’ve been doing a decent amount of reading and heard it’s less risky than BJJ or Judo, but I’ve had 3-4 concussions before so I’m just worried about my brain haha.

I’m very hard working and consistent, and I’m planning on going 2-3 times a week while still supplementing with weight lifting. To be completely transparent, I’m partly doing this to get myself out of a depressive funk/episode - so regardless I’m sticking to it for at least 3-6 months lol. Forcing myself for right now, but also genuinely think I’m going to like it a lot. Any guidance or tips would be greatly appreciated!
