DO NOT buy anyy of this stuff untill you train first, ive dont that many times where i got excited over a new style and when i started traingin it it was nothign really good, so make sure you like muay thai first.

yea i think i would forget what i learned in a street fight, how can you work to over comethat, to be calm and just bring what you learn in the gym to thte streets?

So what are these 7 steps in MT, ive never heard of them before? Can somebody name them and explain them also, thanks

Hes only my favorite fighter in Pride haha. Yea you gotta love his kicks and of course were from the same country.

Taking a warm bath is fine but taking a cold bath is nto fine, heres the reason why. Your are hot after a hard workout and when the cold water hits your body can probasbly do some damage to your body. Think of it as a hot metal grill, its hot, and thats why they say not to put freezing water on it to clean ti when its hot cuz it can crazk, the same goes for your body, thats my logic.

Yea i would be able to but its just different because youre not used to somebody running and swinging, im used to controlled movements you know?

i was sparring wiht my friend last night, he has no training so he basically just goes all out. It was kind of hard becauxe i would just cover up and take the hits than go off on him wiht a couple of shots which would get him obviously but i didnt want to just trhow punches while he was throwing punches. Its weird, i thinki would have more trouble fighting an untrained person than a traINED ONE, because a trained person will just exchange punches and we know both take it wasy but an untrained person jst goes off at you. Somethigh to think about.

does anybody have any kyokushin video clips of the tournaments whenthey fight? ive found some on yahoo but theyre all short, anybody have any taped ones ?

Where can i buy this headgear that has the face covering, similar to a football mask? but its foam like a TKD headgear? I know ive seen them someplaces.

"there is a concept used in thai (and most freestyle arts) that is basically called gaining an angle - you want to be squared to your opponent at all times, if you can stay square and make them take an angle to you you have an opening. pretty much why standing side on is such a terrible idea" I didnt understand what this person sai, i took it from another forum, Yes we do stand squared in my gym also but i didint understand what he meant by our opponent angeling off or somethign, can somebody evaluate? thanks

why does my trainer tell me to stay on my toes when im kicking, or raise the heel, and i also know that he likes to scrunch down or bend his left leg at the knee when hes kicking wiht his right, so hes closer to the ground. why is that, does you have more controll whe youre closer to the ground and balance? And whatabout the raised heel thing?

I am thinking of starting WTF TKD, i have been training in ITF for 4 years (received BlackBelt), but i want to try somethign new out, i tried goju ryu but its too hard to learn somethign so differntly, so im going to try out WTF, how much differnt is it from ITF?
