I have been training in Muay Thai for a total of about 6 monthes (3 last year and 3 this year). But for about for the next four monthes I will have to be training on my own. I have a wavemaster(kicking bag) in my room. Does anyone have any advice on what I can do to keep up? Will books or movies be of any help? Please post your advice! Thanks in advance.

What is your before the season pick for the NCAA champion? Personaly i like Kansas or Illinois.

I guess i would call myself a dragon.

I also am trying to gain weight, and i found out that you should eat one gram of protien per pound of body weight. Dont know if it will work for you but it worked for me!

What is the difference between a Muay Thai ring and a San Shou ring and why does it make such a big difference?

I could explain these exercise to you but I think I would just confuse you more! Sorry. Like ken said just go to a local gym and ask people or buy a book that will also have pictures.

Every once in a while I hear about Muay Thai techniques that are not allowed in the ring. Is this true and if so what are they? P.S. I know that elbows are not allowed in many matches in the US but i am talking about other techniques.

I never picked anything. THe olympics should add Muay Thai. If they did I would have voted for that.

Even at 60 Bruce Lee could take care of Chan and Li. My thoughts anyway.

Do you have any ideas on how many days per week and how long each session? Because I already have somewhat of a base in Muay Thai do you think I would get any benefit from videos or books? Thanks

Pretty soon I will have to start training on my own for about 4 monthes. Does any one know any drills that I can do to keep my techinique good? THanks for any thoughts. P.S. I train in Muay Thai [ This Message was edited by: muaythaidm on 2001-09-02 15:46 ]

Angus how did you teach yourself clinching techniques? Videos, books? Any advice you can give me would be apprectated(spelling?).

Well it all depends on what you like better, football or taekwondo. GO with the one you like better. I dont think the tackeling well help your MA but all the running well help get you into shape. Just wondering, when you train on your own do you train in taekwondo or Muay Thai. If you do train in Muay Thai what drills do you do? Because in a little while I will have to train on my own for around 4 monthes so any advice you can give we will be greatly appreciated.

By my name you can tell that i train in Muay Thai. I have been kicked in the head Thai rounhouse style and if I block it right it doesnt hurt, if I dont it does hurt!

Ken what is the difference between Kali and Salit. I live in a small town so I have no gym or dojo of any of the arts you mentioned. Do you know any good books for Kali or Salit and Brizalian Jujitsu. Thanks

Right know i prefer kicks. I havent learnes knees or elbows yet but I think I will like elbows alot. Cant wait tell I learn them.

I train in Muay Thai and i was wondering what other art is good to cross train with it. Could you please tell me what you think, thanks.

Why do alot of people compare san shou and muay thai? Are they similare or is it another one of those "my martical art is better then yours."?

I hear that i am a dog because i can be playful or agressive.

Happing posting MaxDaBlackBelt13!

I say kick to the legs roundhouse style, your opponent cant fight if they cant stand! My 2 cents.

Anyone have any advice for thowing the hooks. I have been working on them for a while and cant seem to get them [ This Message was edited by: muaythaidm on 2001-08-26 21:57 ]

orthodox

Try jumping rope for a few minutes, that will get your blood pumping. Being active always helps me to wake up. Just a thought

Try getting a wheel. Doesnt need to be anything fancy just a wheel with handles that go though the center of the wheel. To use it you kneel on your knees, wheel out and back in. I have been using one for a while(like three weeks) and I made vast improvments in my ab region! They can be bought at stores like Wal-mart. Anyway for any ab workout always do it on an empty stomach. About your lower ab question try lying on you back. Put one hand on your stomach and the other under your head(leave your head on the floor so you dont stain your neck). Bend your legs so that your feet lay flat on the floor. Then raise your legs so your thighs are perpendicular(spelling?) to the floor, keeping the angle at your knees the same(slowly). Go back down and repeat. Do three sets of 15 with 15 sec. rest inbetween.
