But doesn't have a real Muay Thai fighter to be balanced to win a fight?

Thanks, I remembered to post about this issue because a lot of people still think that martial arts like Muay Thai or Kickboxing are only agressive and physical... and they are that!! but they can also help to develop a strong spirit because I think that everything is relative and everything depends on you

I think by facing it not using force but thinking that everything is in your head! When I started to do martial arts I had some fear in combat and that caused me some problems... I faced it by thinking that everyone in the class was fighting and enjoying it so I tried to do the same thing.

I think that we can find our way (a spiritual path) inside of us and not only in the martial art. I practiced Shorinji Kempo and Kung-Fu, two disciplines that have a very good spiritual training but it didn't work with me. I tried to concentrate, to follow the exercises with patience and... nothing. I felt that there was something missing. Then I started doing Muay Thai and despite the trainning doesn't have spiritual part I feel that I'm doing it by myself with no extra exercises. I'm not saying that this style is better than others I'm only trying to say that sometimes the way is inside of you or in a more agressive martial art and not only in Chi exercises or in martial arts too philosophical. What do you think?

I live in Portugal and here Boxing and Kickboxing are two sports that are practiced by thousands but that don't have many impact in the media. But I think that the problem is that Kickboxing is still seen as a sport practice by people with no culture or education

Yeah pretty cool this selector! My first five were: 1 Thai Boxing 2 Boxing 3 Doce pares 4 Escrima 5 Kick Boxing But what in an hell is Doce Pares? I went to see and seems like escrima from Philippines

Yes...Pedro Alvares Cabral I think that he also invented the XXXXLLLL T-shirts...that only american can use....

No... Portugal is not Bazil, Portugal discouvered Brazil. And I hope that you are only joking...Portugal is not a big country...but has 13 centuries of history... a big community in the States and is a matter of geography...something that I had in school!!! The world is not only the USA, thanks god,

Less important countries doesn't mean less inteligent people...As you see USA is a big country but yet... And I'm not sure but I think that there are four african countries with B Benin Botswana Burkina Faso Burundi

Seagal can me a good martial artist...but he is a BAD actor and his movies...make me laugh...A LOT... He has some big problem when he is director of his own movies because he is always the last chance...the only man that knows how to save the world, the cook that was the best soldier....hehehhehehehe ... please

I don't come here a lot, but I never saw anyone from Portugal!!!! And I bet that most of you don't know where it is!!!! ITS NOT SPAIN

You should be her friend...but more than that...you should do something with her. If she doesn't like to do anything...she won't do something alone... take a class or two with her... take her to a school where there aren't to many "artists", you understand? A place with lots of white belts for her to see that she is learning something with others and not alone

Or AI KI RUN a great style where running is the best think!!!!! Hi.... Monkey Girl remember me? From Portugal? Haven't seen you on messenger....I sent you a private message..please see it!!!

As I said in other topic, I can train five times a week, two hours per day. But sometimes I only train 1h 30 m.... sometimes I get to tired!!!

My dojo is great!!! I can train 5 times a week, two hours per day with a great instructor!!! Only for 30 $ per month!!! The only problem is that I can only train once or twice a week!!!!

Man... an instructor that says you're a wimp and that hit with no intention of teaching should be in jaill!!!!!! That's not an instructor and will never be a sensei...

When you hit a bag you are using your full strenght but only for a few minutes!! Don't forget that.. when I´m training kicks in a bag with full speed and strenght.. my leg get's hurt!!!! But it was in the bag that I learn to kick

I thought that Muayt Thay/ Kick Boxing was easy.... but when I started practicing I saw that it wasn't that easy... learning the moves it's not difficult but doing them well and using them well in a fight it's different... like Drunken Monkey said: "there's a difference between learning something and being good at something"

Hey...I'm not sure but I heard that Mike Tyson will be in Japan (December) to the K1 final!!!! He will fight with Bob Sapp...I heard this on Eurosport.

I didn't see it...yet... But here in Portugal everybody says that it isn't very good... that it's worst than the second... and I didn't enjoyed Matrix Reloaded- the fight scenes were to long and some were to slow.... And some friends already said that the end of Matrix Revolutions it isn't very good... well let's see!!!!

The first Blade was great... and Wesley Snipes is really a good martial artist... great moves... the second wasn't so good!!! But I already heard that a third movie is coming

I love to know the history of the Martial arts that I do... because it helps me to understand the reasons of its being. And I also like to learn the history of the country where the martial art borned to understand the context and the nature of the art. We must have the contact with the history and the old masters because they are the reason of a martial art

I think that there some guys here that do martial arts but that say more than they do in real life...Like " I'm black belt in kung fu, karate, judo, etc...or I defeated 20 guys at hte same time" but it's easy to choose the advices to follow. No problem, just have fun in Karateforums.com

There are many stories about how he died! But I think that he was sick... it was not the aspirin but a cerebral embolism. But a good post would be the death of Brandon Lee that also had a strange death... the second in the familly.. Spooky!!!!!!

I never used martial arts in a real fight... but the guys that do Kick Boxing / Muay Thay with me have a lot of stories because they all work in night clubs and discos. But my master of Shorinji Kempo, one time, broke a jaw to a thief that was trying to robb him, with one punch
